I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot - Chapter 218
218 Heartache
However, that person had no intention of stopping. Instead, he pulled on Sang Qianqian’s clothes and gave her two more slaps.
Sang Qianqian’s face quickly became red and swollen, blood flowing down the corner of her mouth.
She struggled to get up, but the man chased after her and grabbed her long hair.
Sang Qianqian was once again pulled down by him. The man pressed her down and started to tear her clothes. She subconsciously looked at the location of the surveillance camera.
!!
Ruan Cheng’s words still rang in his ears.
He said that he would send the surveillance footage to Shen Hanyu.
Sang Qianqian did not want Shen Hanyu to see her being humiliated and helpless. She used all her strength and bit the man’s finger.
The man cried out in pain and flung Sang Qianqian away with a slap.
Sang Qianqian crawled up without a care and ran toward the door.
The door was the blind spot of the surveillance cameras, so they wouldn’t be able to see what had happened.
The man clutched his bleeding finger that had almost been bitten off, his eyes vicious and angry.
“You b*tch, how dare you bite me? I’m going to teach you a lesson today.”
This voice was vaguely familiar. It sounded like Cui Xu’s younger brother, Cui Ke?
Sang Qianqian leaned against the door and composed herself. “Cui Ke, you know that Xie Shi’an likes me. If you dare to do anything to me today, Xie Shi’an will not let you off.”
Cui Ke did not expect her to recognize his voice, and Sang Qianqian’s words actually made him a little nervous.
If Xie Shi’an dared to shoot Ruan Cheng, he might not have any mercy on him.
However, this was a task that Shao Jin had given him, and he had to complete it. If anything really happened, Shao Jin would cover for him.
Under the mask, Cui Ke’s voice sounded like he was up to no good. “Sang Qianqian, what do you know? I just want Young Master An to see how I’m treating you.”
He glanced at the time again and pounced over. With rough movements, he pinned Sang Qianqian against the wall and tore off the clothes on her shoulders.
At this moment, the door was pushed open.
“Gahhh!”
A heart-wrenching scream was heard, and Cui Ke shivered in fear.
Before he could react, Xie Shi’an had already rushed in front of him. His eyes were filled with a ruthlessness that Cui Ke had never seen before.
He dragged him out of the door by his collar and gave him a heavy punch in the face.
He used so much strength that the mask on Cui Ke’s face fell off, and the corner of his eyes swelled.
Cui Ke did not dare to fight back. He said in fear, “Young Master An, I was just following orders. I…”
Before he could finish his words, Xie Shi’an had already smashed his head against the wall. With a muffled sound, blood flowed down Cui Ke’s face.
However, Xie Shi’an was not done yet. As if he had gone crazy, he knocked him against the wall again and again.
The surrounding men were all dumbfounded. They didn’t dare to pull him up and just looked on in a daze.
It was only when Cui Ke’s head was covered in blood and he collapsed to the ground that Xie Shi’an threw him away with a livid face.
In the room, Sang Qianqian’s clothes were in tatters, but she did not cry.
Her cheeks were red and swollen, and her long hair was messy. However, her eyes were a little cold as she looked at Xie Shi’an emotionlessly.
Xie Shi’an’s heart ached terribly. He took off his coat and draped it over Sang Qianqian.
He held Sang Qianqian’s hand and said in a hoarse voice, “I’ll take you away.”
The men tried to stop him, but Xie Shi’an glared at them with a cold face.
Those people were so scared that they didn’t dare to say anything. The scene just now was shocking to them.
The usually gentle-looking Young Master An was actually so terrifying when he was angry.
They all knew the relationship between Xie Shi’an and Ruan Cheng. No matter what Xie Shi’an did, Ruan Cheng would forgive him.
Thus, in the end, they did not dare to force Xie Shi’an and could only watch as he took Sang Qianqian away.
Xie Shi’an did not return to the Ruan family. Instead, he went to a small courtyard in the capital.
This was the place where he had once lived with his sister. After he had completely broken up with Ruan Cheng, he had also lived here when he moved out of the Ruan family’s residence.
When Xie Shi’an brought Sang Qianqian over, the courtyard was filled with Ruan Cheng’s men.
When she entered the house, Ruan Cheng was sitting by the window, looking out at the dim night sky and slowly drinking tea. The water in the teapot was boiling, and steam was rising.
Xie Shi’an acted as if he did not see Ruan Cheng. He brought Sang Qianqian into his room, found a set of clothes that his sister had left behind, and sent Sang Qianqian to the bathroom.
Only then did she come out to see Ruan Cheng.
Xie Shi’an’s expression was still calm. “I’ve brought her back. I’ll return to the Xie family.”
Ruan Cheng paused in the middle of drinking his tea and chuckled. “Shi’an, I’ve been waiting for you to say this for a long time.”
Xie Shi’an gritted his teeth and did not speak.
“Since you’ve brought her back here, don’t let her go so easily.”
Ruan Cheng’s tone was calm. “Shi’an, I’ll leave the people outside the courtyard to you.”
He put down his teacup and stood up. “Shao Jin, let’s go.”
Shao Jin followed him out and got into the car.
“Master Cheng, are we just going to let Shi’an take Sang Qianqian away?” he asked, a little worried. “What about Shen Hanyu?”
“Stick to the original plan,” Ruan Cheng said.
“But Sang Qianqian isn’t there anymore…”
“Shen Hanyu doesn’t know if she’s there or not.”
Ruan Cheng’s eyes were cold. “Send the footage of Cui Ke and Sang Qianqian to Shen Hanyu. If he can find us, that would be for the best. If he can’t, Sang Qianqian and Sang Minglang are both in our hands. Why would we be afraid that he won’t obey us?”
—
It was 2:15 A. M. When Shen Hanyu returned to the courtyard.
Sang Qianqian had already disappeared.
Guo Muyang didn’t even stay in the hospital and directly came over with a lame leg.
Fang Lan had also rushed over. Together with Shen Hanyu, they checked the surveillance footage within a ten-kilometer radius of the courtyard.
Later on, the scope of the investigation gradually expanded, and the surveillance cameras of the entire capital were included.
It was around five in the morning when Shen Hanyu received a video clip from a surveillance camera in his email.
There was a message that came with the clip, “Aren’t you very powerful? Can you find her?”
Shen Hanyu’s face darkened.
As soon as the video started, a masked man slapped Sang Qianqian across the face.
Guo Muyang and Fang Lan both gasped. The video was not long, only about 40 seconds.
At the end of the video, Sang Qianqian was struggling to get up and running toward the area outside the surveillance cameras.
He could hear the man’s voice changing its tone. Sang Qianqian seemed to have said something to the man, but their conversation had been deliberately erased and could not be heard clearly.
However, he could hear the sound of her body being slammed against the wall and her clothes being torn apart.
Guo Muyang’s heart sank as he subconsciously looked at Shen Hanyu. Shen Hanyu’s eyes were pitch black.
His fingers clenched the phone so tightly that the veins on the back of his hand popped out. The screen of the phone had shattered.
Just as Guo Muyang thought that Shen Hanyu might not be able to bear it anymore, he actually re-opened the video.
He watched it once more without blinking.
“Hanyu, why do you have to do this? It’s already happened. It’s useless even if you watch it a hundred times.”
Guo Muyang couldn’t bear to watch the video. To Shen Hanyu, the video was like a death sentence.
