Chapter 1785


    “What’s going on, Mr. Chu?” Ye Fan''s urgency frightened He Yurou.


    Despite her innocence, she could tell from his tone that Ye Fan must have run into some trouble.


    “It''s best for you to remain in the dark, Yurou. Just heed my warning.”


    It came as a nasty shock for Ye Fan to hear that Han and the others were nning to summon all of


    the members of the Dragon God Hall members to aid him in the Chu Sect.


    When did things spiral so far out of control? I must meet them as soon as possible and stop them in


    case they have some reckless n already in action.


    Although the Chu family desired to assumemand of the battle, the fighters of the Tang and


    Jones families were still formidable.


    Even more importantly, as Tang Yun had mentioned, the awakening of the beast at the foothill of


    Mount Chumen presented a new set of challenges to their n.


    Ye Fan''s goal was almost aplished as the Chu family slid further into disrepute following Chu


    Zhengliang''s death.


    In light of the current situation, it is the best course of action to leave Norwal City to return to China.


    Besides, it is not yet time to do battle with Chu Sect.


    He Yurou knew better than to ask questions from the serious expression on Ye Fan''s face.


    It was in this manner that the pair soon returned to their condominium to find Tang Yun already


    packed and waiting for him at the center of the room.


    With only a nod exchanged between them, the pair leaped into action without a moment''s


    hesitation. After saying their farewells to He Yurou, they departed hastily and soon vanished into the


    darkness of the night to meet Li Er, leaving He Yurou alone in the condominium.


    The moon was hidden behind dense ck clouds that night.


    “I wonder what sort of trouble Mr. Chu has gotten into,” she murmured softly to herself. “I hope all


    goes well for him.”


    He Yurou gazed wistfully in the direction of Ye Fan''s departure from therge French windows.


    Her heart had not ceased its anxious pounding as she feared for his safety.


    After a while, her thoughts drifted back to the incident at the entrance to the theater.


    He Yurou savored the memory of the kiss they shared. Though she was forced by the


    circumstances to improvise a little y of her own, it was a scene rehearsed many times in the


    privacy of her fantasies until it felt like the most natural thing in the world when the time came for


    her to seize the opportunity.


    A dreamy smile, with equal traces of shyness and drunken nostalgia, appeared on her lips as she


    indulged in her reverie.


    So this is what it feels like to share a kiss with a man I love.


    He Yurou was rudely interrupted by a sudden and loud m as the door to her condominium was


    flung open.


    The next moment, a dozen bat-yielding thugs marched in. Every inch of their arms was covered in


    tattoos.


    Their wicked leers made He Yurou feel deeply uneasy.


    “Who are you?” she stammered, stumbling backward. “What do you want?


    The men did not speak. After arranging themselves into two rows on either side of the door, they


    sank into a deep bow. “Mr. Brown!”


    Their sonorous and respectful voices echoed throughout the living room.

    Several momentster, Jack strolled in.


    “Are these your men, Jack? What is the meaning of this?” He Yurou demanded. “I''m warning you,


    don''t get any ideas. My boyfriend is a skilled practitioner of martial arts. He''ll beat you and all of


    your men up if you don''t get out of here!”


    Worried about what Jack might do, He Yurou decided to intimidate him.


    At the mention of his nemesis'' name, Jack''s anger red up again.


    “Boyfriend?” Jack leered at her, his tone thick with rage. “Hah! Do you mean Ye Fan? That''s what


    you called him, didn''t you? I''m d you brought him up. To bepletely honest, I''m here to kill


    both of you.”


    Without taking his eyes off He Yurou, he waved his arm.


    Immediately, his men began ransacking the entire condominium.


    “Nobody''s in the bedroom, Mr. Brown!”


    “Kitchen''s empty, too!”


    After several minutes, Jack''s men fell back into formation as they delivered their findings.


    “How is that possible? They left the theater together!” Jack frowned before turning to face He Yurou.


    “Where is he?”


    She did not answer him. Instead, she dashed toward the table for her phone to call the police.


    Striding ahead of her, Jack intercepted He Yurou and pped her across the face so viciously that it


    sent her to the floor.


    “Y-You hit me,” He Yurou gasped in disbelief as she clutched her cheek. Tears welled up in her eyes


    as a result of fear and pain.


    Jackughed again.


    “Having trouble believing that the man who was so kind and obliging to you would one day raise a


    hand against you? Actually, I should be thanking you for waking me up from the delusion of holding


    you in high regard just because you treasure your purity. Turns out it''s all a lie, isn''t it? I have to


    admit that I was a d*mn fool for letting you y me.”


    Jack gave another coldugh.


    HeYurou''s words to him at the entrance of the theater had broken him. The mere thought of the


    chaste woman he idolized being involved with another man overwhelmed him with rage and


    disgust.


    “Since he isn''t here, I''ll start with you. This is what happens to people who take me for granted.”


    Jack turned to his men. “Strip her naked and hang her from the balcony.” “Please, no!” He Yurou


    screamed as tears poured down her cheeks, thrashing with all her might to no avail in the iron grip


    of the thugs.


    Her sobs grew to wails as they began to rip her clothes off.


    Jack''s smile became widened at her misery.


    “I really did like you, you know. From the moment I firstid eyes on you, the fact that your body was


    virgin snow that no man had ever explored only served to make you irresistible to me. You were my


    pure and unadulterated goddess. I would have been willing to give up everything for you, but you


    betrayed me. So don''t me me for what''s about to happen, Yurou. I''m not the one who did this to


    you. You brought this upon yourself. You really shouldn''t have slept with another man.”


    Jack shook his head wistfully. The dim light upon his face revealed a frightening and remorseful


    expression.


    “No! Let go of me!” He Yurou struggled as tears of horror rolled down her cheeks.
