“Miss… Miss Laurent, this was an accident. A guest staying in the room opposite her was woken up by the stench of blood so he came over to cause a stir… We were no match for him. Luo Anning asked him for help so he… rescued her.”
“Useless idiots! There are so many of you and yet, you can’t even defeat one man. Aren’t you useless!?!” Laurent York began kicking the bodyguards angrily.
Du Xiaoran stood by the door and clenched his fists tightly while watching everything occur before him. He questioned in a low and rumbling voice which made him seem like the Death Reaper from h.e.l.l. “Laurent, were they talking about Luo Anning?”
Laurent s.h.i.+vered at the instant that she heard Du Xiaoran’s voice. She turned around quickly and discovered that he was standing at the door, even though he was supposed to be in the castle. Her face immediately turned as pale as a sheet.
Staring at Du Xiaoran, Laurent stammered and could not form a coherent sentence at all. “Xiao… Xiaoran, what are you… what are you doing here?”
“I should be asking you, what did you do to Anning!?!” Du Xiaoran barked with bloodshot eyes. He stepped forward and pressed Laurent against the wall forcefully while strangling her neck. He slowly tightened his grip around it.
“Miss Laurent!” the bodyguard tried to rush forward to rescue her.
Without even looking, Du Xiaoran whipped out a pistol from his waist and shot the bodyguard’s leg which then began to bleed immediately.
The nauseating odor of blood began to fill the air again.
“Where is Anning? Speak up!” Du Xiaoran put his pistol away and strangled her again. He tightened his grip and felt a sudden thrill of vengeance after staring at her oxygen-deprived face which had already turned purple and swollen.
Laurent shook her head as fear and despair filled her eyes. She tried to remove his hands from her neck as hard as she could. “I… don’t know what you’re talking… about… It’s not Luo… Anning, it’s Luo… Ai’er… ”
Du Xiaoran smirked coldly as a murderous menace formed in his eyes. Although he was still incredibly das.h.i.+ng, Laurent was beyond terrified at this point and she dared not believe that Du Xiaoran would kill her for Luo Anning’s sake.
“Laurent, you should know that Anning is my bottom line. Once you touch her, you can forget about living well!” Du Xiaoran then grabbed her hair and slammed her head against the wall mercilessly.
Laurent felt her scalp turn numb and by the time she recovered from the shock, her head had already been smashed against the wall and she was overwhelmed with excruciating pain. However, she could no longer be bothered about anything else and her only thought was that this man wanted to kill her to take revenge for Luo Anning!
She can’t die, she definitely can’t!
Laurent cried and began to beg, “Xiaoran… I was wrong… Ah… please don’t… I won’t dare to do it again… ”
“It’s too late!”
Du Xiaoran sounded cold and austere, and never once paused in his actions. “I want you to lose twice as much blood as Anning lost.”
‘Don’t… ah… Xiaoran, if I’m dead, my parents definitely wouldn’t… let Luo Anning off. If you want her to be a.s.sa.s.sinated and get on the wanted list for the rest of her life… You may… kill me.”
“Kill you? ” Laurent chucked, as if he had just heard the most absurd thing ever. “Dying is tooo good of a deal for you. Laurent, from now on, you’ll be at risk of being a.s.sa.s.sinated every day and you shall live each day in fear.”
Laurent immediately began to feel her blood gus.h.i.+ng through her veins after hearing his cold and stern words. Is this the Xiaoran I know?
No, he’s not. He’s a devil!
