"Death is an easy punishnt for him, Yuyan," a familiar voice interrupted, making her turn her head toward the door. Jared opened his eyes as well.
"What are you doing here instead of resting?" she asked, clearly displeased.
"I seed to have missed you," Lu Lijun replied as he walked toward the sofa where she sat, his entire focus on her.
"I was about to end it in a minute and return to you imdiately," she said, only for him to extend his hand toward her. "Give it to ."
"I'm not done playing with it yet," she countered, keeping the gun close and glancing at Jared. "See, his forehead is still clean as white marble, while yours is bandaged."
Lu Lijun chuckled at how cute she looked even in her bossy mode. "I'll let you blow his brain entirely, but first, let him experience what it truly feels like to want to die-and then regret ever crossing paths with us."
"You have a plan?" she asked, raising a brow.
He humd in confirmation. "Now give it to ."
Trusting him, Jiang Yuyan handed over the gun, watching him hold it. Her eyes stayed on his hands as she remarked, "You know, this gun looks pretty sexy in your hand."
Lu Lijun chuckled and settled next to her on the sofa, pulling her into his arms. One hand wrapped around her waist while the other held the gun. He gently pressed the gun under her chin, tilting her face up to look at him. "I believe the sexiest thing in the world is you when you're under ."
"Really?" she asked, completely unbothered by the man sitting in front of them, watching.
He humd in response, inching his face closer to hers. He tugged gently on her lips with his teeth. "I can't wait to take you back ho and show you just how sexy you can be."
"I look forward to it," she whispered against his lips, "I hope you're not too hurt." "These minor injuries won't stop from devouring you and exhausting you until..." "Shh!" she placed her finger on his lips. "Save it for later. First, let's deal with him."
Jared watched the two in disbelief, unsure of how to react. How could they possibly flirt in such a situation?
Lu Lijun glanced at Jared, still holding Yuyan close with his arm wrapped around her waist. "Hey, Jared, don't worry. My wife won't kill you-yet. Soon enough, though, you'll be the one begging her to. For now, sit comfortably and watch the most entertaining show of your life— one you won't forget, even in death."
Jared scoffed. "Do you think I'm scared of you or your empty threats?"
"You will be soon," Lu Lijun replied calmly. "And don't bother calling anyone. All your n have been taken down by mine." He then called out, "Noah?"
Noah entered the drawing room, holding a file and a device in his hands. Without a word, he went straight to the television, attaching the device and turning it on before handing the file to Lu Lijun.
Jiang Yuyan glanced at the file and was about to take it, but Lu Lijun gently stopped her, holding her hand. "That's not for you to see. You just need to focus on ."
She looked at the file with a complicated expression but eventually withdrew her hand.
Lu Lijun turned his attention to Jared, who appeared unfazed, though clearly waiting to see what was going on. Noah turned on the TV and stood to the side.
The next mont, a familiar face appeared on the screen, leaving Jared stunned. A beautiful blond girl, around twelve years old, was wandering through what seed to be an empty school, looking lost or searching for soone.
"Sara?" Jared called out, his eyes darting to Lu Lijun. "What are you planning? If you dare harm her, I swear..."
"Calm down, Jared. I haven't done anything yet, but if you don't sit quietly and watch the entire show, I might ask my people to finish her right away," Lu Lijun warned.
Slam!
Lu Lijun threw a file onto the center table. "Go through this file, and you'll know exactly what's going to happen to your daughter from this mont on."
Jiang Yuyan, who hadn't expected this, turned to Lu Lijun, her gaze filled with worry. "Lijun, what are you doing? Why involve his daughter?"
"He needs to understand what you went through back then. He has to stop acting like a fool and realize the kind of monster his brother was to you," Lu Lijun replied, his voice cold and determined, without a shred of rcy.
Jiang Yuyan didn't like this at all. She couldn't support it. "Lijun, no. I can't let you harm any girl like this. I would rather-"
"Trust ," Lu Lijun interrupted, offering her a calm, alluring gaze. "After this, he'll leave us alone. He needs to feel the pain you endured."
She looked deeply into his eyes, torn. Though he appeared cold and rciless, he was still her Lijun—the man who could never lose his reasons.
"Don't worry," he said to her.
anwhile, Jared flipped through the pages of the file, his heart sinking with every word. It was a detailed report of what had happened to Jiang Yuyan back then.
"Take a good look, Jared," Lu Lijun's mocking voice echoed. "Rember every single detail in that report, so you don't complain later. I don't want you saying sothing was missing- like instead of four ribs being broken, your daughter only had three. I don't want you to bla for missing one."
Jared looked up from the file, his teeth gritted in rage. "Lu Lijun," he growled, "you can't do this to my daughter. Let her go."
"Your brother showed no rcy to Yuyan, and later your father did the sa to my brother. 'Letting go'—those words an nothing to us anymore," Lu Lijun countered. "If your father had admitted his son's fault and let it go, if you had admitted your brother's and then your father's fault and let it go, maybe things would be different. But no. You people love to keep dragging things out, so I'm just returning the favor."
"You can't."
"I sure can," Lu Lijun raised a brow. "And can you even stop ?"
