Gradually, the night enveloped LA City, and Guo Jiarui slowly returned to the apartment, holding a well-figured, innocent-looking woman.

At this moment, Guo Jiarui's hands were constantly exploring the woman's body, a fire burning below. He slowly undid his belt and said, "Come on, baby, take care of your brother tonight, and I won't treat you badly!"

Despite her innocent appearance, the woman seemed well-versed in this routine, clearly dressed as a typical "green tea" girl. She flicked her black hair and slowly knelt on the ground, opening her YSL lipstick-stained mouth, continuing skillfully.

Guo Jiarui exhaled a breath in surprise, appearing rather satisfied, but at that moment, a cold gleam flashed before his eyes, sending a chill up his spine, making his hair stand on end with indescribable fear!

"Who—who's there!?"

Guo Jiarui's voice changed in fright as he spoke, filled with dread.

What was going on? The apartment's doors and windows were locked; where did that glint come from?

Thinking of this, a chill spread through Guo Jiarui's body, and a certain stiff part instantly went limp. This experience might leave him with impotency for life.

Panicked, Guo Jiarui began searching for the light switch, but just as he was about to move, a cold voice interrupted: "No need to look, I've cut the power to this room!"

At that moment, a chair slowly turned around, revealing a man sitting casually with his legs crossed, holding a gleaming kitchen knife in his hand—the source of that earlier glint!

How did this person get in? This was a high-end apartment with security at the entrance, yet this man managed to enter quietly, leaving him petrified.

"What, didn't my warning yesterday make enough of an impression? Less than twenty-four hours later, and Young Master Guo has already forgotten me? I'm heartbroken!"

Lu Yu spoke with a chilling tone, his words like a cat toying with a mouse.

Upon saying this, Lu Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the woman squatting on the floor in confusion, and commanded, "Get to the bathroom. Do not come out without my orders!"

"Alright, alright," the woman nodded fearfully and quickly entered the bathroom, locking the door without a peep.

"You're Lu Yu!" Guo Jiarui recognized him instantly from his voice—a man who almost pierced his head with a barbecue skewer. He remembered clearly!

"Seems Young Master Guo's memory isn't so bad," Lu Yu said calmly. "Now that it's just you and me left in the apartment, why don't we discuss last night's and tonight's matters?"

"What are you talking about? I don't understand. What last night, what tonight?" Guo Jiarui asked fearfully, realizing Lu Yu sitting in his apartment meant all his guards had been dealt with.

"Looks like Young Master Guo's memory is a bit faulty. Let me give you a hint," Lu Yu said as a cold gleam shot toward Guo Jiarui!

Clang!

In an instant, a gleaming kitchen knife embedded deeply into the wall, just millimeters from his head!

Feeling the flying knife, Guo Jiarui was scared out of his wits, his legs going weak as he trembled uncontrollably, looking utterly disheveled!

"Now, do you remember?"

Lu Yu spoke indifferently, his words dripping with icy intent.

"Y-yes…" Guo Jiarui stammered, his voice full of fear. He nearly had his head skewered yesterday, and now a knife was buried beside him, filling him with terror.

"Very well. Since Young Master Guo admits it, we can discuss things properly," Lu Yu spoke, sounding calm.

"What do you want to discuss?"

Guo Jiarui was engulfed in boundless dread, knowing Lu Yu was not to be messed with and regretting his earlier judgment—his fear almost choking him.

"You don't have to be so afraid. This world is about cause and effect, no mistake about it. If you tried to cripple me, you'd better be ready for me to do the same!" Lu Yu said, full of confidence.

"Wha-what do you really want?" The more confident Lu Yu was, the more terrified Guo Jiarui became, his fear amplifying dramatically!

"I said, if you tried to cripple me, you'd better be ready for me to do the same," Lu Yu repeated calmly. "I hope Young Master Guo understands what that means?"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Guo Jiarui nodded vigorously in fear, realizing Lu Yu was there to take him down.

Thinking of this, Guo Jiarui shivered, a pungent odor quickly spreading!

The esteemed Eldest Young Master Guo of the Guo Group, was scared into urinating by Lu Yu in his own apartment!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I said, no need to be so afraid, Young Master Guo. There are many ways to handle this world, and I think crippling you is too barbaric. Let's discuss a price, shall we?" Lu Yu said, leisurely playing with a fruit knife in his hand. "Young Master Guo, what do you think you're worth?"

"What am I worth? What do you mean?" Guo Jiarui felt his legs still trembling uncontrollably, a chill spreading below.

"My meaning is quite simple, not complicated at all,"

Lu Yu looked at Guo Jiarui, his eyes sharp like a beast in the woods, sending chills down one's spine: "How much do you think your life is worth?"

Seeing Lu Yu's gaze, Guo Jiarui felt powerless throughout his body.

Pay to save his own life? What was this guy planning? Did he intend to kill him?
