Chapter 664: Chapter 664 Being Too Smart Isn’t Always Good for a Woman
“Hehehe, Youwei, stop hiding, come out now.
The door is about to be smashed open by me.
Once I get in, you’re going to suffer so much.
If you come out nicely now, I might be gentler with you later.”
Xiao Jibo’s voice was indescribably terrifying.
It was like the continuous piercing sound of a demon’s chant.
Youwei saw that the door was already seriously deformed.
At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before Xiao Jibo could break through.
The situation she would face at that time was easy to imagine.
And being on the twenty-something floor, there was no possibility of escape.
All means of contacting the outside world were cut off at this moment.
And there was a torrential downpour outside.
“Boom!”
With another loud noise, the room’s door was finally kicked open by Xiao Jibo.
The objects that had been blocking the door couldn’t even stop Xiao Jibo for a minute.
The moment the door was breached, Youwei ran into the bedroom and locked the door from inside.
She then struggled to move the table over, blocking it behind the door.
She could no longer cry.
“Thump!”
Xiao Jibo kicked the door fiercely.
The strong rebound almost broke Youwei’s bones.
Xiao Jibo was tall and imposing.
Filled with rage and desire at the moment, his strength was frighteningly great.
After the second kick, the bedroom door was kicked open.
Youwei fell to the ground from the enormous force.
She saw Xiao Jibo, like a fiendish ghost, walking towards her step by step.
His eyes were emitting a terrifying green glow.
“Swoosh!”
A dagger appeared in Xiao Jibo’s hand.
Under the illumination of the light, it gleamed with a cold brightness.
He grinned and said, “After wasting so much of my energy, tell me, how should I punish you later?”
“Don’t,” Youwei pleaded desperately, retreating backward, her face ashen, “Please, don’t come any closer.”
Xiao Jibo’s wicked fire in his chest uncontrollably spread upon seeing Youwei’s current state.
“I told you, the pain Jiang Xu inflicted on me, I will repay it a thousand times over on you.”
Xiao Jibo stepped closer to Youwei, his tone cold as ice, “I will cut off the flesh from your body, piece by piece, and then send the photos to Jiang Xu.”
Youwei was almost scared to the point of fainting.
Xiao Jibo stood in front of Youwei, looking down at her from a height: “Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance.
If you say right now that Jiang Xu is a beast, worse than a pig or dog, I might consider letting you off.”
Of course, he had no intention of really letting Youwei go.
He just wanted to watch Youwei reveal the most despicable and disgusting scene under the test of human nature.
Because that’s exactly how he had been in front of Jiang Xu before.
Stripped of his clothes for photos, his dignity ground into the dirt.
Youwei bit her lips tightly.
She would never say it.
Jiang Xu was her great benefactor.
Even if she died here today, she would never speak a single word that insulted Jiang Xu.
“Quite stubborn,” a layer of chill covered Xiao Jibo’s eyes, “Since that’s the case, then let’s have you taste the feeling of a dagger stabbing through your thigh!”
As he spoke, he fiercely stabbed his dagger toward Youwei’s thigh.
“Ah!”
Youwei let out a scream of despair and closed her eyes.
However, the anticipated scene of blood and gore did not occur.
Xiao Jibo’s wrist was caught by a man with a cold countenance.
Immediately after, they began to struggle.
Jiang Xu rushed in from the outside, his expression tense.
Seeing Youwei unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Hurried over and pulled her outside.
“Cousin, let’s go downstairs first,” Jiang Xu said.
Once they were out the door, the tension on Jiang Xu’s face instantly vanished.
Chu Youwei’s mind went blank.
It wasn’t until the elevator doors opened and the two of them entered that the tension on Jiang Xu’s face disappeared, replaced by a sense of calm.
He had known about this turn of events for a while.
At noon, his personal intelligence system had already detected Xiao Jibo’s abnormal movements.
It had discovered that Xiao Jibo had bribed the property management of Chu Youwei’s residential complex, acquiring the elevator card and the signal line to the landline in the room, among other things.
As soon as Jiang Xu became aware of the situation, he made up his mind.
Xiao Jibo had left him with no other choice.
So, he had someone sneak into Chu Youwei’s home earlier to install cameras.
Every room, except the bathroom, had one.
Jiang Xu had actually arrived much earlier but did not immediately make his presence known.
Instead, he waited until Xiao Jibo was about to commit his violent act before ‘rushing over’ with his bodyguards.
“Ding!”
The elevator reached the ground floor, and the doors opened.
They stepped out.
Jiang Xu looked at Chu Youwei, who was still visibly shaken.
He took a piece of chocolate out of his pocket, unwrapped it, and handed it to her, “Eat this to calm your nerves.”
“Tha… Thank you,” she said.
Chu Youwei took it and popped it into her mouth.
The slightly bitter taste of the chocolate melted in her mouth, gradually soothing her nerves.
It seemed to really calm her down.
When he noticed that her mood had almost returned to normal, Jiang Xu finally spoke, “Let’s sell this apartment and get you one with a better security system.”
Chu Youwei initially wanted to say it was unnecessary.
But with the events that had just occurred vivid in her mind, she didn’t want to go through it again.
She gently nodded her head in agreement.
Jiang Xu then took out a packet of women’s cigarettes.
He lit one and handed it to Chu Youwei, “Have a smoke, it’s light and can help with psychological recovery.”
Chu Youwei hesitated for a moment before accepting it.
However, she didn’t immediately put it to her mouth but asked, “Did you expect all of this?”
Jiang Xu was taken aback, “Why do you ask?”
Chu Youwei lowered her head, “Because you never smoke, nor do you need to ingratiate yourself with anyone. Normally, you wouldn’t carry cigarettes with you.
So the only explanation is that you prepared them for me.”
Jiang Xu hadn’t anticipated Chu Youwei’s acuity.
He nodded, “Yes, you guessed right.”
A tinge of bitterness arose in Chu Youwei’s heart.
She realized that she had been used as a pawn by Jiang Xu.
Even though she hadn’t been harmed, it still didn’t feel right.
If it were An Nuonuo, he surely wouldn’t want her to face even a hint of danger.
Chu Youwei shook her head slightly, banishing those inappropriate thoughts from her mind.
How could she even dare to compare herself with An Nuonuo?
She put the cigarette in her mouth and took a puff, but Chu Youwei ended up choking on it.
Although Jiang Xu had never smoked, he knew the process.
After a brief explanation, Chu Youwei got the hang of it.
She felt a strange sense of change within her.
In her conventional understanding, girls who smoked were bad girls.
She never thought she would one day become a ‘bad girl’ herself.
By the time she finished the cigarette, it seemed like she had no significant problems, at least on the surface.
The heavy rain outside had also stopped.
The sound of insects in the distance added a tranquil ambiance to the night.
Steady footsteps came from behind her.
Chu Youwei turned around to see the man approaching, and almost screamed.
