CHAPTER 274: CHAPTER 248: EVERY MINUTE WITHOUT YOU DRIVES ME MAD

The door was pushed open and then slammed shut with a "bang".

This was immediately followed by the sound of a vase shattering, a bookshelf toppling, and a man’s muffled groan of pain.

Punching sounds, thuds of collision...

This well-trained female bodyguard could imagine the intense altercation inside just from listening outside the door.

It’s unclear whether the CEO was the one in control or at a disadvantage...

The sounds of the fight lasted for nearly half an hour before it completely quieted down. The female bodyguard was listening with a pounding heart, cold sweat continuously seeping from her back.

The room by then was already in a complete mess.

The cabinet had toppled, the bed was askew, and the legs of chairs were broken...

Ren Yixuan’s face was swollen, his nose still bleeding, his neck being choked by Yin Shixiu.

"You’re upset and want to take Su Xiaomeng back? Fine! Come to me, I don’t mind having a fight with you. If you can kill me, you can openly take Su Xiaomeng back! I won’t let anyone give you trouble!"

"But using such means, what kind of man are you?!"

Blood oozed from the corner of Yin Shixiu’s mouth, his eyes filled with murderous intent and bloodshot.

"I’m the one who took her from your side! You don’t have the guts to confront me, but you bully Su Xiaomeng, you’re quite something!"

"Ugh... heh..."

Ren Yixuan struggled to speak, his neck gripped tightly, his face turning red.

"Uncomfortable? In pain? Xiao Meng is a thousand times more in pain than you! You used drugs on her, raped her, didn’t you? Fine, I don’t mind letting you taste this as well."

Yin Shixiu punched Ren Yixuan heavily in the stomach!

Ren Yixuan immediately spat out a mouthful of bitterness!

Bracing himself against the wall, his limbs were already weak, every punch from Yin Shixiu was meant to beat him to death!

His internal organs were burning with pain, blood from a collision with the table corner smeared his forehead, his vision now blurred.

Yin Shixiu raised a hand to wipe away the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Come in!"

The door was pushed open, the female bodyguard entered with two male bodyguards dressed in black.

The female bodyguard held an iron box, placed it on the floor, and then opened it.

Leaning against the wall, Ren Yixuan glanced at Yin Shixiu, "W-what is this?"

Yin Shixiu gave a signal to the two male bodyguards, who immediately moved to restrain Ren Yixuan’s body—one on each side.

The female bodyguard, calm and composed, retrieved a syringe from the box, pried open a small medicine bottle nearby, and drew the liquid into the syringe.

Droplets of colorless liquid emerged from the needle tip.

"Yin Shixiu..."

"Ecstasy is too weak, Ren Yixuan."

Ren Yixuan’s voice turned tense, "Yin Shixiu, have you gone mad?!"

"I should ask you, you dare touch my people, who really went mad...? Go, let Mr. Ren taste this, it’s much stronger than ecstasy."

The female bodyguard complied and approached Ren Yixuan, who began to tremble all over, "No, no..."

Yin Shixiu stepped forward and grabbed Ren Yixuan’s hair, "Scared now?"

Ren Yixuan glared at him with red eyes, "I grew up with her for twenty years! From birth, she was destined to be mine! There are so many women in this world, you, as the Fourth Young Master of the Yin Family, can have any woman you want, why did you take mine?!"

"You had a relationship with her, so she’s yours! By what right... huh?! By what right! That was my girl!"

"She’s not yours. You’ve been with her for twenty years, if she loved you, I couldn’t have taken her away."

"Couldn’t take her away?! Ha, Fourth Young Master of the Yin Family, you have power and influence, just wave your hand and A University moves at your will, Beijing trembles!"

"She’s so happy... why? Why am I in so much pain, she’s so happy, you’re so pleased?"

"So you want to ruin her?"

Yin Shixiu’s expression turned cold, "You know her too well, so you know, doing this to her is the greatest revenge, making her live in pain for the rest of her life! Making her unable to lift her head in front of me, in front of the child!"

"Yes, I want to destroy her, I want her to know, a person has to pay for their choices."

Ren Yixuan’s eyes were equally chilling, "She betrayed me, I took her for a night, it’s fair."

Yin Shixiu raised his hand and punched him in the face, "Do you know she almost turned into a mental wreck because of you?! Do you know she hurt herself, wishing to tear off a layer of her skin! Do you know she was in so much pain she wanted to kill herself!"

The punch from Yin Shixiu made Ren Yixuan’s head buzz, he hadn’t cleared his thoughts before Yin Shixiu’s words exploded in his ears like a bomb.

Mental wreck... self-harm... suicide...

He was shocked.

Yin Shixiu saw his expression and couldn’t help but snort, "Didn’t expect, did you? Didn’t expect she’d be so disgusted by you! Ren Yixuan, you almost made me lose her forever..."

Ren Yixuan stared blankly at Yin Shixiu, his expression absent...

She...

Just because he touched her, she self-harmed, she wanted to kill herself...

Ren Yixuan felt like he swallowed a cup of bitterness, his chest clogged, a bitter taste in his heart.

Yin Shixiu took the syringe from the female bodyguard’s hand and coldly injected his arm without hesitation.

Ren Yixuan came back to his senses, watching the liquid in the syringe slowly enter his body, yet his expression was extraordinarily calm.

The female bodyguard put the syringe away.

"Destroy it."

Yin Shixiu faintly uttered three words.

Ren Yixuan closed his eyes, and soon, his vision became increasingly blurred, his prior bodily pain quickly alleviated.

He knew that the injection Yin Shixiu gave him probably wasn’t far removed from drugs.

Heh... the Fourth Young Master of the Yin Family’s actions, even so, aren’t clean either.

It didn’t take long for the effects of the drug to kick in. The headache felt like it was splitting his head open. He clenched his fists, the veins slowly bulging out on his arms, and there was a painful swelling below. Gradually, hallucinations appeared in front of his eyes...

Yin Shixiu stood up, cast him a faint glance, then gave the bodyguard a look, and together they walked out with Yin Shixiu.

Just as the door closed, violent crashing sounds came from inside, and Ren Yixuan’s screams were heart-wrenching.

Yin Shixiu entered the bathroom, washed his hands, dried them, and went downstairs as if nothing had happened.

He smelled a faint odor of burning plastic coming from the backyard of the villa.

The female bodyguard came in, and seeing Yin Shixiu had come down, she respectfully bowed, "President, the item has been taken care of."

Yin Shixiu nodded faintly, "One dose a day. Remember to keep a close watch, and make sure he doesn’t die."

"President, rest assured. Are you going back now?"

"Hmm."

The female bodyguard hesitated, and Yin Shixiu turned his head, "What? You have something to say?"

"No, it’s just... I find it a bit strange. I thought the President would send him to prison."

"Prison?"

Yin Shixiu snorted, "Prison... where could possibly make him feel as ’happy’ as here?"

Yin Shixiu then drove away from the villa again.

But not long after he drove out, he received a call from Su Xiaomeng...

"Where are you?"

Su Xiaomeng had just come down from the mountain at this time.

"Outside."

Su Xiaomeng raised an eyebrow. What kind of answer was that?

Yin Shixiu didn’t plan on hiding from Su Xiaomeng. He took a shallow breath, "I took Ren Yixuan to one of my private villas."

Su Xiaomeng’s heart constricted, clearly taken aback for a moment, then she swallowed and asked.

"You... didn’t do anything to him, did you?"

"I gave him a severe beating."

"Then I locked him in a room."

"I just came out of Famen Temple and have come down the mountain now... Uh, the driver received a call midway, saying that his wife back home was about to give birth, so he left early..."

"You just came down the mountain?"

"Hmm."

"I’m not far from there. Wait for me for half an hour. I’ll come pick you up."

"Hmm, okay."

Su Xiaomeng acknowledged, then hung up the phone.

She gently let out a breath.

Ren Yixuan... was taken away by Yin Shixiu.

Actually, she could easily imagine how Yin Shixiu would treat him, because if it were her, she’d probably slash his throat with a knife.

She knew Yin Shixiu was much more measured than she was, more composed, more capable, and more resourceful.

As for Ren Yixuan, she had long since given up any thoughts.

No matter how Yin Shixiu treated him, she didn’t mind...

People always have to pay a price for their choices...

She had severed the affection of being childhood sweethearts for twenty years, so she was retaliated against by Ren Yixuan.

Ren Yixuan did something unforgivable to her, so it’s not to blame Yin Shixiu for wanting to extract some payback from him.

She sat at the foot of the mountain, the spring sun very warm, in a season where everything is coming back to life, and the flowers and plants at the foot of the mountain were budding, encircling the foot of the mountain.

Taking a deep breath, she could smell the fragrance.

Life is very long...

If she had to walk this road alone, she feared she couldn’t take a single step...

Luckily—

Yin Shixiu was walking towards her, with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

Su Xiaomeng stood up, and casually took the roses Yin Shixiu handed over...

"Why did you buy roses?"

"A few elderly ladies were selling them ahead, the flowers looked very fresh, must be freshly picked."

Su Xiaomeng lowered her head, sniffed them, then grinned and said, "They smell really nice..."

Yin Shixiu put his arm around her shoulder and walked back.

Su Xiaomeng didn’t raise the matter of Ren Yixuan again, not to avoid it, not to deliberately not mention it.

But because she already had a choice in her heart.

Wholeheartedly trust Yin Shixiu, believe he would get Justice on her behalf from Ren Yixuan.

As for what she needed to do...

Well, the CET-6 English exam was just around the corner, she needed to get a high score!

Regarding the issue of Ren Yixuan, Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng had a mutual understanding. He wouldn’t hide anything from her, but if Su Xiaomeng didn’t want to get involved, he wouldn’t bring it up either.

He would properly, in his way, make that person repay.

But things wouldn’t be that simple to wrap up.

Ren Yixuan was urged back by the Rong Family, but after he got off the plane, he disappeared without a trace.

The Rong Family was facing misfortunes in everything, the hotel’s surveillance was meaningless to them, and in the end, they could only pin their hopes on Ren Yixuan, yet they hadn’t even seen a shadow of him.
