The members of the Black Hawk Gang first spotted the black Cayenne parked not far away. They exchanged glances and walked towards the car together, surrounding Xu Bei and Xiao Yu, who had just gotten out of it.
Leo, who had been groping Ye Yanxi just now, also heard the commotion behind him. He looked back and happened to meet Xiao Yu's deep, dark eyes.
The dim yellow streetlight cast a long shadow of Xiao Yu. He stood there calmly, like an immovable mountain. His powerful aura seemed to emit a cold chill.
From Xiao Yu's darkened eyes, Leo saw the anger, the kind of fury that one would feel after having their beloved possession taken away and wishing to tear the culprit to pieces.
Leo then looked back at Ye Yanxi with interest. From the latter's gaze at Xiao Yu, he seemed to sense a bit of surprise and barely concealed joy.
Previously, he had investigated Ye Yanxi. She was an employee of Xiao Group. He had originally thought she was just an ordinary employee of the group, or perhaps it was just a coincidence. But now, he felt that maybe fate was on his side.
He had long wanted to deal with Xiao Yu but had never found an opportunity, especially after being beaten up by his men. Today, he had planned to take care of Ye Yanxi first and then make further plans. Just when he was still hesitating, Xiao Yu suddenly appeared in front of him.
A man chasing a woman all the way to a deserted highway at night. He didn't believe that someone as calculating as Xiao Yu would do such a thing for no reason.
Unless...
"I wondered who it was. It turns out to be President Xiao of Xiao Group. What a coincidence meeting you here," Leo said, squinting at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu ignored Leo directly. His gaze passed over him and landed on Ye Yanxi behind him. Seeing her half - naked, with a large expanse of fair skin exposed to the air, her cheeks slightly red and swollen, her fingers turning white from clenching, and the occasional "click" sound coming from them. Due to anger, the veins on his forehead bulged.
"Let her go!" Xiao Yu's deep voice carried a command, and every word exuded danger. "If you let her go now, I might spare your life!"
Leo scoffed immediately and pretended to be scared, laughing exaggeratedly. "Oh, I'm so scared!"
Xiao Yu's eyes narrowed, turning completely dark.
"Lin Yuhui, I could make you unable to stay in City S back then. Do you think I'm afraid of doing anything now?"
Leo was hit where it hurt. "Don't call me Lin Yuhui anymore. My name is Leo. Lin Yuhui is already dead."
"You're still so arrogant..." Xiao Yu snorted. "I shouldn't have just beaten you half to death a few days ago."
"What? Do you regret it?" Leo laughed maniacally again. "It's too late now!"
Xiao Yu took a step forward, and the members of the Black Hawk Gang who had surrounded them also moved.
The two sides quickly engaged in a fight. In just a few seconds, Xiao Yu and Xu Bei had knocked down three or four of the men who had surrounded them, making them faint.
Leo frowned tightly. He snatched a dagger from one of the men and pressed it against Ye Yanxi's neck in one swift motion. "I advise you not to take another step closer, or don't blame me for being rude."
Sure enough, Xiao Yu stopped in his tracks and didn't take another step.
Based on his previous inferences, Leo had a good idea of Ye Yanxi's position in Xiao Yu's heart.
"Leo, if you dare to hurt her, I'll make you suffer worse than death!" Xiao Yu's eyes were cold and fierce. With a cold face, he stared fixedly at the dagger with a cold glint that Leo was pressing against Ye Yanxi's neck.
Hearing this, Leo laughed instead of getting angry. "Xiao Yu, you're confronting me here for another woman. Have you ever thought about how Jin Yan, who's lying in the hospital, feels?"
Seeing that Xiao Yu remained silent, Leo continued, "She's a glamorous diplomat. After I decided not to cooperate with Xiao Group, such a proud woman actually humbled herself to beg me. It's so pitiful. Are you worthy of her?"
"You're not qualified to mention her."
Leo scoffed, looking disdainful. "I'm not qualified. Well, let's not talk about her then. Let's talk about this woman instead!" The knife that Leo was pressing against Ye Yanxi's neck slowly slid, and then one of his hands slowly rubbed across Ye Yanxi's exposed skin. "I have to say this woman's figure is perfect. Tsk, tsk. So white and tender. Even Jin Yan can't compare."
Watching Leo's fingers slowly slide across Ye Yanxi's body, two flames suddenly shot up in Xiao Yu's eyes. He stared at Leo as if he was about to burst into flames.
"Let her go!" Xiao Yu's voice was a bit hoarse. These cold words seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth.
Seeing Xiao Yu's anger and the look of wanting to kill him, Leo felt a rush of pleasure.
In the past, no matter how he provoked Xiao Yu, the latter always maintained a haughty attitude, as if he didn't even give him a proper look. This made Leo feel very frustrated.
But now, it was different. He had finally found something that could make Xiao Yu lose his temper and become angry.
It was a pity that he had originally thought it was Jin Yan. But it wasn't too late to find out now.
It turned out that Xiao Yu also had a weakness, and he had discovered it.
"Xiao Yu, do you think I'm a fool?" Leo curled his lips into a mocking smile. "She's my last trump card now. I'd be crazy to let her go. Besides, having such a beauty is not a bad deal for me."
"Lin Yuhui, you'd better think clearly. Can you bear the consequences of provoking me?"
"Xiao Yu, don't think that you can have everything just because you have power. At least, for now, you have to obey me obediently!"
Suddenly, Leo signaled to the man beside him. One of them took out a thick rope and threw it at Xiao Yu's feet.
"If you want to save this woman, do as I say and tie yourself up," Leo commanded coldly.
Ye Yanxi had already hated Leo to the core. When his fingers had slid across her skin just now, she had only felt nauseous.
Now, hearing Leo use her to blackmail Xiao Yu with such a shameless request, she thought Leo must be out of his mind.
Xiao Yu had come to save her mostly because of Jin Yan's matter. Since Ye Yanxi had saved Jin Yan, he had come out of gratitude.
She could sense that Leo seemed to be a bit mentally unstable now. And from their conversation, it seemed that Leo's hatred for Xiao Yu wasn't something that had just developed.
If Xiao Yu really listened to him and tied himself up, then Leo would definitely not let him go.
In the end, neither of them might be able to get away.
"Leo, one should take responsibility for one's own actions. It was me who saved Miss Jin. If you have anything to say, come at me!" Ye Yanxi shouted, glaring angrily at Leo with her beautiful eyes.
Leo turned his head and patted her face, laughing. "You two are really in love. Don't worry. After I deal with him, I'll come and love you well. Don't worry... I'll be very gentle with you."
Disgusting!
At this moment, Ye Yanxi took a small step back and happened to lean against the car door. Her hands, which were tied behind her back, groped for a sharp corner on the edge of the car. She was immediately overjoyed and started rubbing the rope against it.
On the other side, Leo was still confronting Xiao Yu.
"Xiao Yu, have you made up your mind? Surrender yourself, or... let me make a mark on this beauty's face!" Leo's dagger gently glided across Ye Yanxi's face.
Ye Yanxi could feel the coldness seeping through her pores.
Just then, the rope on Ye Yanxi's hands had loosened. She quickly pulled her hands out, grabbed Leo's wrist, and pressed down hard, knocking the knife out of his hand. Before the dagger hit the ground, Ye Yanxi kicked it away.
The change happened in an instant. Leo was caught off guard and didn't expect Ye Yanxi to break the rope.
"What's going on?" Seeing that Ye Yanxi had escaped, he immediately roared at the men beside him. "Hurry up and catch her!"
At this moment, many cars drove in from all directions, surrounding them. Soon, more than a dozen well - trained men in black got out of several cars, holding guns in their hands, and surrounded the members of the Black Hawk Gang as well.
Ye Yanxi had escaped from Leo's grasp. Then, it seemed as if she was suddenly pulled into a pair of strong arms. The man's grip was so tight that it hurt her bones. Her face was pressed tightly against his chest, and she suddenly had trouble breathing.
"I can hardly... breathe!" Ye Yanxi was tightly pressed against Xiao Yu's chest and cried out uncomfortably. Her voice was muffled.
Only then did Xiao Yu loosen his arms a bit. His slightly cool and slender fingers slowly rubbed against her red and swollen cheeks. Although it was very gentle, Ye Yanxi still flinched in pain, making a hissing sound.
Sensing Ye Yanxi's discomfort, Xiao Yu took his hand away from her face. Then, he took off his suit jacket and wrapped it around Ye Yanxi's almost completely exposed body.
Only then did Ye Yanxi realize that her clothes had already been torn to pieces by that bastard Leo. Now, she was almost naked.
Xiao Yu's clothes were quite big. Ye Yanxi tightened them uneasily, wrapping her whole body tightly before she felt relieved.
Xiao Yu half - carried her, opened the car door, and put her on the back seat of the Cayenne. Before closing the door, he didn't forget to say, "You rest here well."
After saying that, Xiao Yu was about to close the car door. Ye Yanxi anxiously blocked the door for a moment. Looking at him with worried eyes, she asked, "Aren't you coming in?"
Under the dim light, Xiao Yu's cheeks seemed to have a halo. He was extremely handsome, with a slightly curved mouth and a beautiful and captivating jawline.
"These are all my men. Don't worry. I'll be fine. You stay here. I'll be back soon," Xiao Yu said in a slightly gentle tone.
"Uh, okay!" Ye Yanxi replied, a bit dazed.
Xiao Yu closed the car door again and deliberately pulled down the curtains.
Sitting in the comfortable car, smelling the familiar scent of Xiao Yu inside, Ye Yanxi felt as if she had just had a nightmare and was finally safe.
After turning around, the gentle look on Xiao Yu's face suddenly disappeared. His handsome cheeks seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. There was undisguised killing intent in his dark eyes. He slowly walked towards Leo step by step.
His tall figure carried an air of death and was full of murderous aura, just like a god of death walking out of hell.
