Chapter 284: I Was Almost Raped
Bam!
His strong figure was sent flying to the air, landing loudly on the ground.
Gale felt a sharp pain all over as he lay wincing.
He turned around, only to see a military-green Hummer and a flash of light that blinded him.
Gale struggled to get up as he held his waist. “s.h.i.+t…”
It was obvious from his voice that he wasn’t as strong as before.
Li Beinian was a little tense and her face burned up a little.
She covered herself up with her torn clothes and then took a few steps back.
Li Beinian looked up where the light came from and saw the license plate number. It was familiar.
The door was opened and she saw military boots emerge.
A tall figure alighted from the car, exuding a cold aura. His domineering presence filled the entire place immediately.
Li Beinian was stunned as a name flashed in her mind right away.
The shadow from the tall figure had engulfed her pet.i.te stature.
Those eyes turned towards her and went cold as the man saw her.
Mu Xichen hurriedly went towards Li Beinian.
Li Beinian had her torn clothing draped over her.
And that fair, delicate face now had a handprint on it.
It was swollen and bruised on one side of her face, while some blood lined the side of her lips. Her hair in a terrible mess, she held an ivory dagger stained with blood in her hand.

She started off yelling angrily, but by the end of the sentence, she was choking on her tears.
Eyes wet, Li Beinian was about to sob.
She could barely control her quivering voice.
She found it rather embarra.s.sing to be crying in front of him. Li Beinian wiped the tears off her eyes and yelled, “I was almost raped because of you, you…”
Before she finished, Mu Xichen had already taken his coat off and placed it over her.
That familiar scent got Li Beinian to swallow the rest of her words. Her heart pounded even more quickly as tears rolled down her cheeks.
She felt like a bullied child who had just found a backing.
The sense of security calmed her.
“He did it?”
Mu Xichen’s expression darkened as he turned to look at Gale who was struggling to stand upright.
With his hand filled with blood as he pressed it against his side, Gale turned pale as he saw Mu Xichen’s cold glare.
Mu Xichen went towards him slowly as Gale’s breathing picked up speed. He smiled awkwardly while leaning back. “Mu, old friend…”
