The man stood with his back to the light. Ding Ruola couldn't make out his face, let alone his subtle facial expressions.
All she could hear was a terrifying voice. The man's voice was like the roar of a dragon in an ancient castle, piercing through Ding Ruola's eardrums.
Ding Ruola gritted her teeth tightly. Not a single word could come out from between her lips. It was as if an invisible hand was gripping her throat, and she could only utter simple syllables.
She knew she couldn't escape this time.
The man's hand was still as cold as ice. The moment it touched her skin, Ding Ruola trembled all over.
"Don't you like the gentle way?"
Gu Tingjun looked at the girl on the bed. Her slender arms were in stark contrast to the dark shackles. The inner side of her wrists had turned red from struggling.
The man lifted Ding Ruola's wrist. He opened his mouth slightly, and a light - pink tongue peeked out between his white teeth.
The wet tongue landed on the girl's arm.
"Let go!"
Ding Ruola struggled violently, but human flesh was no match for iron.
She winced in pain, and most of her strength drained away.
She raised her head but still couldn't see the man's expression. All she could hear was the man's strange intonation.
"I won't run away! My arms hurt so much now."
Ding Ruola knew that the more tough - minded she was, the worse the result would be. It would be better to flatter Gu Tingjun first and then find a way to leave.
"Really! I really won't leave!"
Gu Tingjun confirmed again and again. Then he pulled Ding Ruola up and let her sit up against the bed.
He reached out his hand to push aside the messy hair on Ding Ruola's face, revealing the girl's features.
What a beautiful face. Her eyebrows and eyes contained landscapes he had never seen before, but the malice in her eyes was like a ferocious beast.
He didn't like Ding Ruola looking at him with such an expression.
"Ruoruo! Can you love me?"
How could that be possible!
Ding Ruola remained silent. She wouldn't deceive others' feelings, nor would she say such affectionate words to make Gu Tingjun happy and then seek a moment of peace.
The whole room fell silent. Gu Tingjun stared at the girl's beautiful face.
She was just like a rose, beautiful but poisonous.
"Brother!"
Suddenly, the door opened. The moment the door opened, Gu Tingjun leaned over and kissed Ding Ruola. His broad back blocked Ding Ruola's body, and Gu Qianxue standing at the door could only see Ding Ruola's face.
Gu Qianxue saw her brother being intimate with the girl. Feeling embarrassed, she didn't dare to stay at the door and quietly closed the door and left.
Not long after she went downstairs, Gu Tingjun came down from upstairs.
"Don't go upstairs without a reason!"
The man's tone was flat, and Gu Qianxue didn't take it to heart. She nodded and casually picked up a chopstick - full of food and brought it to her lips.
"By the way, brother, can you introduce her to me?"
Gu Tingjun took a sip of the sugar water. He frowned, and his eyes were full of contempt.
"She's quite timid now!"
After hearing this, Gu Qianxue didn't say anything.
She knew that her brother had a strange personality, and she generally didn't dare to be overly concerned about his affairs.
Gu Tingjun didn't say a single word during the whole meal and seemed absent - minded while eating.
After seeing him go upstairs, Gu Qianxue found the game boring, so she took out her phone. As soon as the phone screen turned on, a WeChat message popped up.
[Brother Fang: Is your brother at home?]
Gu Qianxue was a bit surprised. The two of them were like fire and water, but now he was concerned about her brother.
[Gu Qianxue: He's been at home! It seems he even brought a girl home.]
A girl?
Fang Siyan immediately became interested. He went to pick up Ding Ruola yesterday afternoon but didn't find her.
He immediately had someone check the company's surveillance cameras and found no suspicious people.
Ding Ruola went to take out the trash yesterday afternoon and then disappeared.
The girl seemed to have vanished into thin air.
[Brother Fang: What's that girl like?]
Gu Qianxue had never seen this girl before. The only thing she remembered was the girl's red hair.
Red hair?
The hope that had just risen in Fang Siyan's heart instantly faded. How could it be a red - haired woman? Where was the problem?
The man still refused to give up!
[Brother Fang: Did you see her face?]
Her face...
Gu Qianxue thought carefully but still couldn't recall the girl's face.
Moreover, Gu Tingjun's behavior seemed deliberate, as if he had intentionally let her see the red hair!
Gu Qianxue refused to give up. She went upstairs again. As soon as she reached the door, she heard the girl's voice from inside the room.
"Don't! Let me go! Gu Tingjun..."
"Ruoruo! What should I do for you to forget that man?"
So the girl inside was Ding Ruola.
Gu Qianxue was in a dilemma. Should she call Fang Siyan?
The girl went downstairs absent - mindedly, sat on the sofa, and unconsciously began to tear the dead skin on her lips.
[Gu Qianxue: That red - haired girl is Ding Ruola!]
Everything made sense now. Fang Siyan had seen a red - haired girl in the passenger seat of Gu Tingjun's car from the surveillance cameras, but he had never had solid evidence to confront Gu Tingjun.
Upon learning this news, Fang Siyan gathered his men and immediately set off from home.
Fang Siyan could never have imagined what could happen in just forty minutes.
Ding Ruola looked at Gu Tingjun sitting on the edge of the bed. There was a look of pity in the man's eyes. He reached out and unlocked the shackles on Ding Ruola's wrists.
The man's hands became increasingly unruly.
Ding Ruola recalled the dream where she was surrounded by snakes.
The man leaned over and lay on top of Ding Ruola. Ding Ruola reached out and grabbed the shackles on one side.
She swung her arm and hit Gu Tingjun on the head.
The man winced in pain. Just as he was about to snatch the shackles from the girl's hand, the girl wriggled out from under him.
She picked up the porcelain vase on the bedside table and hit Gu Tingjun on the back of the head.
The sound of the vase shattering echoed, and the man fell to the side.
There was no obvious wound, but the man had closed his eyes and was lying on the bed.
Ding Ruola stood there rigidly out of fear. Her eyes were red. It was not until she came to her senses that she slowly approached the man lying on the bed.
With great difficulty, she turned the man over. There was no movement in the man's chest.
Ding Ruola realized that something was seriously wrong. She put her phone in front of Gu Tingjun's nose.
There was no obvious fog on the phone screen.
Was he dead just like that!
Ding Ruola took out her phone and immediately contacted Fang Siyan.
"Ruoruo, are you okay?"
"Lao Fang, I've killed someone!"
Fang Siyan had finally managed to get in touch with Ding Ruola, but he never expected the first thing the girl would say to him would be this.
He was a bit incredulous. Ding Ruola was so slender. How could she have the ability to kill someone?
"Check his breath again!"
Ding Ruola did as Fang Siyan asked. She leaned over and put her finger in front of the man's nose.
There was still no breath.
"Still nothing! Lao Fang! I don't want to..."
"Ruoruo, listen to me."
Before Fang Siyan could finish his sentence, the other side had already hung up the phone.
The man roared into the phone a couple of times. Since the other side had hung up, Ding Ruola couldn't hear anything.
"How much longer until we get there?"
"Five minutes!"
Fang Siyan's eyes never left the watch on his wrist.
