Seeing the situation, the woman named Na Na joined in with vengeful satisfaction.
Su Ning’s hands were pinned down by two men, rendering her unable to move. Eventually, her employee uniform was torn open by the woman, revealing her fair back adorned with five large characters.
“I Am a Murderer” – five glaring red characters in extra-large font – appeared completely visible to everyone present.
Under the dim lighting, the scarred patterns of the characters were distinctly clear, obviously branded by some hot object. Moreover, pigment had been added to the burn marks, making the words exceptionally eye-catching.
These shocking five characters were like a vicious blade, instantly piercing Mu Chengyu’s eyes.
“Murderer?! The wine-selling girl is actually a murderer?!” someone panicked and shouted.
Na Na, who had always resented Mu Chengyu for glancing at this woman even once, had taken the initiative to tear off Su Ning’s clothes solely to humiliate her.
Suddenly discovering such an astonishing scene, she felt immensely gratified.
“Sheng Tang, known as the ‘Money Pit,’ earns enough in an hour to cover a year’s wages for its employees. When did it become so stingy as to hire a murderer as a wine-selling girl?”
“Mu Shao, this woman is an insult to you!”
“Foolish, this is just a form of entertainment,” countered a drunkard, oddly excited by the words on Su Ning’s back. “Mu Shao has been through countless beauties and seen all kinds of flawless skin. This one here should bring a fresh thrill. Ha, Mu Shao, wouldn’t you say it’s stimulating?”
Damn, it was thrilling – so thrilling that his heart raced wildly.
He couldn’t shake the feeling that the terrifying words on the woman’s back would turn into knives and strike back at his heart.
“Get out!” Mu Chengyu snapped coldly.
No matter how beautiful the woman was, he had lost all interest in her now.
“Mu Shao, if you don’t want her, I do!”
The drunkard, who had long harbored desires for Su Ning, was more than happy that Mu Chengyu had lost interest in her.
Watching the drunkard stride over and pull Su Ning into his arms, Mu Chengyu averted his gaze.
Su Ning clutched her clothes tightly against her chest with one hand while raising a wine bottle with the other, pointing it at the approaching drunkard.
“If you dare touch me, I’ll take us both down!” she snarled, glaring fiercely at him.
But the drunkard remained unfazed, undeterred by Su Ning’s menacing expression.
She was just a woman – how could he, a grown man, fail to subdue her?
As the drunkard strode closer, Su Ning hurled the wine bottle at him without a word, but he dodged it effortlessly.
The bottle shattered into pieces on the floor!
The drunkard’s bulky frame closed in on Su Ning. He grabbed her arm, pulled her into his embrace, and sneered lecherously, “Feisty, aren’t you? But I like it. The wilder, the more fun.”
With that, his thick, sausage-like lips moved in to kiss her.
Su Ning didn’t struggle. Instead, she curled her lips into a cold smile.
She had warned him – if he touched her, she would take them both down.
Just as the drunkard leaned in to kiss her, Su Ning opened her mouth, ready to bite off his ear. Suddenly, with a loud bang, the private room door was kicked open.
In the next second, a strikingly handsome yet ice-cold man strode in, followed by several others.
His eyes immediately fell on Su Ning, held tightly in the burly man’s embrace.
It was really her!
This shameless woman deserved to die!
Li Boyan’s bloodthirsty gaze swept towards Su Ning’s face like a sharp sword, wishing he could tear her apart with his eyes!
He stood directly against the light, making it impossible for the drunkard to see his face clearly. All the drunkard knew was that this reckless intruder had ruined his fun.
He shouted hoarsely with displeasure, “Whoever has a death wish, get the hell out of here!”
“The one who should die is you!”
Li Boyan spat out these six words through gritted teeth, each syllable dripping with venomous rage that couldn’t be ignored.
Instantly, the atmosphere in the private room froze!
Li Boyan strode forward with his long legs, step by step. The gun he’d somehow produced was now pressed directly against the drunkard’s skull.
Before the drunkard could even see who it was, a gunshot rang out—’Bang!’—and the bullet pierced through his head. The drunkard collapsed to the floor immediately.
Chaos erupted in the private room.
When Su Ning saw Li Boyan, she was momentarily stunned.
Only when the gunshot echoed and the drunkard fell did her pupils contract in shock, and she stumbled to the ground.
She knew—Li Boyan no longer trusted her.
Before she could catch her breath, a suit jacket was draped over her. The next second, she was lifted into the air and found herself in the man’s arms.
It was then that everyone in the room finally got a clear look at Li Boyan’s face.
“Master Li! It’s Li Boyan!”
Immediately after, Li Boyan’s icy, menacing voice cut through the air. “Mu Chengyu, since you dared to lay a hand on my woman, be prepared to pay the price!”
Each word was like a sharp steel nail, brutally piercing Mu Chengyu’s heart, leaving him breathless in an instant.
That wine-selling girl was actually Li Boyan’s woman?
He had actually provoked someone under Li Boyan’s protection?
Damn it, he had checked the almanac before going out today—it said it was an auspicious day for travel and small gatherings.
“Master Li…”
“Let’s go!”
Li Boyan had no time to waste on such trash. He left the private room with his woman in his arms.
Once outside, he took Su Ning directly to his suite at the Tang Dynasty Club. He threw her onto the bathroom floor, picked up the showerhead, and began spraying water over her body.
He thought she was dirty!
Su Ning didn’t dare resist or make a sound, so she had obediently allowed him to carry her all the way. But the moment the cold water hit her, she couldn’t take it anymore.
It was too cold.
“I’m cold…”
“Even if you’re cold, endure it!”
The man’s cold retort made Su Ning shiver. She thought about explaining but couldn’t find the right words.
After all, she had been there selling wine and drinking.
The icy water mercilessly drenched Su Ning’s body.
The man’s tense face was dark with fury, his glaring eyes shooting out frosty, dagger-like rays.
He thought he could suppress his anger, but seeing that Su Ning didn’t even offer an explanation, he finally lost control.
He threw down the showerhead, stepped forward, and gripped Su Ning’s slender neck with his large hand.
“Are you that desperate? So desperate that you’d take any trash from a nightclub, hmm?”
His words, spat out through clenched teeth, were like bullets fired from his gun, relentlessly piercing Su Ning’s heart.
“I didn’t, I…”
Su Ning instinctively tried to explain. She had only been selling wine to earn money for Grandma’s medical bills.
“No, I’m not blind. I saw everything clearly. You’re my wife, we just got our marriage certificate yesterday, and today you couldn’t resist going to that kind of place?!
Su Ning, you’ve truly shattered my worldview. I never imagined I, Li Boyan, would be humiliated by you from head to toe like this. Tell me, how should I end you?!
Should I blow your head off with a gun? Or just strangle you like this, hmm?!”
