(Starting from this chapter, the name Cai Xiaowei will be used.)
The next morning, Cai Xiaowei finished washing up.
When she went downstairs, she found Lin Zihao sitting on the sofa.
“Well, well, look who’s up so early, miss high-and-mighty.
The sun isn’t even at its peak yet!”
Lin Zihao mocked.
Cai Xiaowei ignored him.
She went to the kitchen to find something to eat, but discovered there was nothing at all.
She found this very strange—where was the servant today?
“Don’t bother looking.
I’ve already eaten.
Oh, and Auntie Li had something to do, so I gave her the day off.
There’s no food now.
If you want to eat, cook it yourself.”
Lin Zihao said while playing with his phone.
In truth, he had deliberately sent Auntie Li away just to pick a fight with Cai Xiaowei.
Cai Xiaowei didn’t say anything.
She went upstairs to get her luggage, looking for some money to go out and eat.
But she found that her luggage was gone.
She knew Lin Zihao must have been behind it.
Unable to hold back, she rushed downstairs and shouted, “Lin Zihao, don’t go too far.
Give me back my luggage.”
“There wasn’t anything important in your luggage anyway.
I threw it all away.
If you need something, just tell me and I’ll buy you new things.”
Lin Zihao pretended to look very innocent.
Cai Xiaowei wished she could bite Lin Zihao to death.
But given her current physical condition, she couldn’t win against him.
“Don’t leave.
I’ll take you out to eat.”
Lin Zihao quickly said when he saw Cai Xiaowei about to go back to her room.
“Really?
You’re not lying to me?”
Cai Xiaowei couldn’t quite believe what she had heard.
But her mother had said Lin Zihao was actually easy to get along with, so she decided to trust him for now.
Then Lin Zihao took Cai Xiaowei to the garage.
“Please get in, my dear sister.”
Lin Zihao very gentlemanly invited Cai Xiaowei into the car.
Cai Xiaowei glanced at the car—a Ferrari.
‘Rich kid indeed.’
She got into the car without hesitation.
Lin Zihao quickly started driving.
As he drove, he smirked to himself.
‘Heh heh, just you wait.
I’m going to have some fun with you.
Let’s see what the daughter of a gang leader is really like when her true colors come out.
She was pretending to be so innocent yesterday.’
Earlier that morning, Lin Zihao had found out through inquiries that Cai Xiaowei’s father was Cai Guolong, and that Cai Guolong was in the underworld.
In his view, underworld people were no good.
Even if Cai Xiaowei was a girl.
Lin Zihao soon drove to a KTV and then led Cai Xiaowei out of the car.
“Aren’t we going to eat?
Why are we at a KTV?”
Cai Xiaowei was very confused.
Lin Zihao didn’t answer.
He just dragged Cai Xiaowei into a large private room.
By then, the room was already filled with many people.
Seeing Lin Zihao arrive, everyone came over to greet him.
“Brother Lin!”
“Brother Lin!”
“Brother Lin, why are you so late?”
“And who is this young lady?”
“Sorry I’m late, everyone.
I found a hostess for you all.
She can really hold her liquor.”
After saying this, Lin Zihao whispered in Cai Xiaowei’s ear, “Be a good girl and drink with my friends.
Stay in line, or else… heh heh…”
Then he shoved Cai Xiaowei into the crowd.
“Miss, what’s your name?”
“Wow, she’s really beautiful.”
“Come on, miss, sit next to me.”
Cai Xiaowei was about to explode, but when she saw Lin Zihao glaring at her threateningly, she had no choice but to sit down obediently.
But she didn’t drink a single sip of alcohol, nor did she say a single word.
She just glared at Lin Zihao.
And Lin Zihao glared right back at Cai Xiaowei.
Seeing this, everyone vaguely guessed what was going on.
Most guessed that Lin Zihao had taken a liking to this girl, and since she wouldn’t comply, he had dragged her here.
So they wisely chose not to bother Cai Xiaowei.
About half an hour later, Cai Xiaowei suddenly stood up, opened the door, and was about to leave.
Lin Zihao barked, “Where do you think you’re going?”
Everyone stopped and waited for the show.
“Do I have to report to you just to go to the bathroom?”
Cai Xiaowei was furious.
After that, Cai Xiaowei stormed off toward the restroom.
But she was walking so fast that she bumped into someone.
The man she bumped into had long hair and a grim expression.
Cai Xiaowei was in a bad mood and shot the man a glare.
Then she brushed past him.
Just then, a voice came from around the corner behind her.
“Don’t bother running, you ‘Yue’ ability user.
You’ve been exposed.
This KTV is already surrounded by us, ‘Longya.’”
Hearing this voice, the long-haired man’s expression grew even darker.
He seemed to think for a moment.
Then he suddenly reached out and grabbed Cai Xiaowei by the neck from behind.
“Don’t talk.
Don’t resist.
Otherwise, I can’t guarantee whether you’ll live or not.”
The long-haired man murmured darkly against Cai Xiaowei’s ear.
Cai Xiaowei was dumbfounded.
‘What the hell is going on?
I finally wanted to start a new life, and now I’m in another life-or-death situation?’
The pain from the man’s strong grip on her neck helped Cai Xiaowei calm down.
She nodded slightly to show that she would obey and that he shouldn’t get nervous and hurt her.
At that moment, a man walked out from around the corner.
He was wearing slippers and looked very disheveled.
Looking more closely, the man appeared very young, only around twenty, with a rather handsome face.
But his outfit was completely at odds with his appearance.
“Heh heh, people from ‘Yue’ really have no shame.
Taking hostages now?
And such a beautiful woman at that.”
The man leaned against the corner wall, a smile on his face.
“Heh heh, ‘Longya’ really went all out.
Even Long Fei, the number one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings, showed up.
If I die today, I’ll die with honor.”
The long-haired man’s expression didn’t change.
“If you give up resistance, I can still give you a chance to turn over a new leaf.
But if you hurt her, I won’t be able to stop myself from grinding you into dust.”
The man in the corner continued speaking with a smile.
The long-haired man, still gripping Cai Xiaowei’s neck, slowly retreated to the window behind him.
And they were on the third floor.
Cai Xiaowei grew nervous.
‘Is this guy planning to jump?
Don’t drag me into it.’
“Heh heh, I’m going to jump down with her right now.
You’d better catch her.
She’s an ordinary person.
If she doesn’t die, she’ll be crippled.
What a shame, really.”
The long-haired man smirked triumphantly.
Then he used his other hand to touch Cai Xiaowei’s face.
“I’d really hate to part with you, little beauty.”
At this, the man in the corner grew anxious.
“Don’t go too far!”
Suddenly, the long-haired man lunged forward, smashing through the glass with Cai Xiaowei and falling toward the ground below.
“Catch the hostage!
Don’t let her get hurt!”
The man in the corner changed his expression and immediately called out to the standby personnel downstairs.
As Cai Xiaowei and the man fell, the man suddenly let go of her.
Defying the laws of physics, he accelerated his own descent.
After landing, he rolled and disappeared into an alley.
Meanwhile, the standby personnel downstairs only ran toward Cai Xiaowei’s landing spot to save her, ignoring the long-haired man’s escape.
But Cai Xiaowei’s landing spot was too far away, and they couldn’t reach her in time.
‘Am I going to die again?’
Cai Xiaowei closed her eyes in despair.
But then, something strange happened.
A pair of nearly invisible giant white wings appeared on Cai Xiaowei’s back.
Cai Xiaowei felt something unusual and opened her eyes.
She saw that everyone below was staring at her in shock.
And she was just hovering in the air.
She also noticed a pair of wings flapping on her back.
She slowly landed on the ground.
And the wings vanished the moment she touched the ground.
By then, many people had gathered around her—members of the so-called “Longya,” as well as bystanders who had seen the commotion.
Just as Cai Xiaowei was at a loss for what to do, someone grabbed her hand, quickly pushed through the crowd, and fled with her.
Cai Xiaowei saw that it was the man called Long Fei.
“Don’t speak.
Ordinary people saw your ability.
We need to leave first, don’t cause a disturbance.
My men will handle it.”
Cai Xiaowei didn’t know anything about abilities.
But under these circumstances, she had no choice but to let Long Fei take her away.
