164: Section 164

Su Yuan's words were filled with a chilling intent; he genuinely felt like killing someone at that moment.

"Of course, I, Crippled Biao, am a man of my word." Crippled Biao performed his signature head-shaking move, his head swaying left and right a few times like a machine.

This action was undoubtedly a repeated provocation within Su Yuan's kill zone.

However, for Bai Ruoli's sake, Su Yuan temporarily held back. In his eyes, these people were nothing more than clowns.

Once Bai Ruoli was safe, he would eliminate all of them to sate his hatred!

Su Yuan no longer hesitated. After setting aside ten thousand yuan for contingencies, he transferred all the remaining money to Bai Ruoli.

"Now, can you release her?"

"Not so fast, not so fast."

Crippled Biao waved his hand, signaling Su Yuan to calm down.

"Damn it, release her!" Su Yuan's aura erupted, and Crippled Biao was his primary target.

Under the impact of Su Yuan's powerful aura, Crippled Biao couldn't help but feel a hint of pressure, and his breathing became somewhat difficult.

"Don't misunderstand, Lord God of War, we're not trying to break our agreement. We just need an extra layer of insurance."

Su Yuan frowned and reined in his aura.

"What do you want?"

"Heh heh, to be extra safe, I still need to give you some medicine. This was bestowed upon me by Lord Azure Dragon back then. Using it on Lord God of War today, I wonder how you'll feel?"

Crippled Biao looked at Su Yuan with a face full of mockery.

"This idiot doesn't even know I have an antidote. Since that's the case, I might as well play along," Su Yuan secretly gloated. "Isn't this like someone sending a pillow when you're sleepy?" But on the surface, Su Yuan showed a hesitant expression.

After a moment, Su Yuan gritted his teeth, "Alright, for Ruoli, I agree!"

"No! Su Yuan Gege, Ruoli isn't worth this for you. Leave!"

Bai Ruoli looked at Su Yuan with a hint of despair and desolation in her eyes. Su Yuan, not far away, felt immense heartache.

Just as their gazes were almost intertwining, a voice broke the silence.

"Stop your lovey-dovey nonsense here. I'm not interested in your love story. Take the poison right now, or I'll tear up the ticket."

Crippled Biao was somewhat impatient. What he disliked most was witnessing public displays of affection.

He was so handsome and didn't even have a Girlfriend, so why should Su Yuan? Even if this was all an act, it was unacceptable!

Crippled Biao tossed a black pill to Su Yuan. "Eat this, and I'll release her immediately."

Su Yuan took the pill but showed a hint of hesitation. His intuition told him that taking this pill might lead to something bad.

Seeing Su Yuan's delay, Scarface pulled a dagger from his pant leg and placed it next to Bai Ruoli's fair, tender face.

"If you don't eat it soon, I might just carve a picture on this little face."

"Drip..."

Two lines of tears slid from Bai Ruoli's eyes, falling onto the dusty ground. The tears were instantly enveloped by the dust, like pearls sullied by dirt.

Bai Ruoli pursed her lips and looked at Su Yuan. "Su Yuan Gege, you... don't mind me."

Su Yuan felt as if his heart was being twisted by a knife at that moment. If he couldn't even protect the woman he loved, what good was gaining the whole world?

Without any further hesitation, Su Yuan threw the pill into his mouth and swallowed it.

Su Yuan had originally intended to hide the pill in his teeth, but he hadn't expected it to dissolve instantly upon entering his mouth, yet it had no taste whatsoever.

"I've done as you asked. Now, it's time to release her, isn't it?"

Su Yuan stared intently at Crippled Biao. If Crippled Biao dared to say no at this moment, he would strike him down with lightning speed.

"Of course, I, Crippled Biao, always keep my word."

Crippled Biao slowly retreated to the center of the group, then gave Scarface a look. Scarface immediately understood and cut the ropes binding Bai Ruoli.

Then, the person left without looking back. Su Yuan was about to stop all of this but was called out by Bai Ruoli.

"Su Yuan Gege, I'm scared. Don't leave. I'm afraid they still have people in the shadows."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan also found it reasonable and did not pursue them further. However, he had already memorized the appearances of Crippled Biao and the others.

Su Yuan would definitely not let this matter rest. Anyone who dared to kidnap his woman must die!

Chapter 152: name... like jade?

Hmm???

Su Yuan suddenly felt something was amiss. Why did he suddenly feel a restless heat within his body?

Seeing Su Yuan's face turn somewhat red, Bai Ruoli asked with a puzzled expression, "Su Yuan Gege, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

"N-nothing..."

Looking at Bai Ruoli, who was so close, a strong impulse suddenly surged within Su Yuan. He wanted to rush forward recklessly and pin Bai Ruoli to the ground.

And this thought grew stronger with each passing, agonizing second.

"Ruoli, the poison he gave me seems to be... that kind of medicine..."

"What kind of medicine?" Bai Ruoli feigned ignorance.

"It's... it's an aphrodisiac..."

Su Yuan found it difficult to speak, the impulse in his heart growing increasingly intense.

No, I can't do this. How could I betray Ruoli's trust in me?

Looking at Bai Ruoli's worried expression, Su Yuan felt a pang of guilt. He then sat cross-legged and circulated his Inner Qi, preparing to neutralize the effects of the medicine.

But to his surprise, this action not only failed to suppress the medicine's effects, but the Inner Qi acted like fuel. The fire, which wasn't too strong initially, suddenly erupted under the circulation of Inner Qi.

"Ruoli... I want..."

Su Yuan stared intently at Bai Ruoli, speaking his true thoughts.

"Su Yuan Gege, don't be like this. I'm scared..."

Bai Ruoli timidly clutched her chest, looking at Su Yuan with unfamiliar eyes. She hadn't expected Su Yuan to be so famished. His reddened eyes genuinely frightened her.

If Xiao Fan didn't show up according to the plan, wouldn't she be 'given a shot' by Su Yuan? Just thinking about it was terrifying. Bai Ruoli shook her head, unconsciously taking a few steps back.

"Ruoli, you should know my feelings for you. I've become like this because of you. Shouldn't you help me resolve this?"

Seeing Bai Ruoli's actions and expression, Su Yuan felt an indescribable anguish in his heart. He had become like this to save her, so if that was the case, she shouldn't blame him.

Su Yuan approached Bai Ruoli step by step, his predatory gaze scaring Bai Ruoli into a scream as she quickly retreated.

However, she wasn't looking where she was going and tripped over a piece of wood, falling to the ground.

"It's alright, Ruoli. I'll make you very happy. You just need to enjoy it."

"Ah!!! I don't want to! Su Yuan, you pervert, get away from me! Get lost!"

Bai Ruoli screamed and shouted. At this moment, she no longer had the presence of mind to continue acting. Facing the utterly unfamiliar Su Yuan, her heart was completely filled with fear.

"Heh heh, you slut! I went through all this trouble to save you, and this is how you treat me, is it? Today, I'll let you know my Su Yuan's true power!"

Su Yuan sneered, closing in step by step, but unexpectedly, a voice came from not far away.

"Su Yuan, you're truly famished, to be able to go after even a 'flat-chested' woman."

Su Yuan looked up and realized that Xiao Fan was already standing behind him, he didn't know when.

"Xiao Fan, why are you everywhere! I don't have time to play with you today, get lost!"

Under the influence of the aphrodisiac, Su Yuan's courage had grown considerably. Facing Xiao Fan, Su Yuan was no longer afraid; instead, he loudly reprimanded him.

"Heh heh, young man, don't be so hot-headed."

In response to Su Yuan's reprimand, Xiao Fan merely smiled faintly, then turned his gaze to Bai Ruoli.

"Stop acting, get up."

Xiao Fan's appearance calmed Bai Ruoli, who had been somewhat flustered. She pushed herself up with her hands, not forgetting to pat the dust off her pants.

"You!!! You!!!"

At this moment, Su Yuan finally understood what was happening. It turned out that everything was a play directed and performed by Xiao Fan, and he was the clown!

He had even thought he was the hero, but he hadn't expected that, from beginning to end, in everyone's eyes, he was a complete and utter fool.

"Pfft!"

Su Yuan, overwhelmed by anger, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his gaze fixed on Bai Ruoli.

"Why did you do this? Haven't I been good enough to you?"

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to say such things. I think you're truly shameless."

Bai Ruoli sneered, looking proudly at Su Yuan.

"If it weren't for you, I would still be the esteemed young miss of the Bai family, enjoying a carefree life. It's because of you that I lost this status, that I was poisoned! That I'm living such a bitter life!

Do you know? From birth until now, this is the first time I've ever stayed in a budget hotel! How humiliating is that for me, Bai Ruoli?"
