“F*ck! You little b*tch, why aren’t you opening the door? Are you trying to test my patience? I’ll kick the door open!”

Qiao Chen could clearly hear the man’s furious roars and the sound of him slamming the door.

Qiao Chen snapped out of his daze and put on his jacket immediately. His tone was sullen. “Where are you?”

“I’m in the bathroom at home.” Xu Wan said in a broken voice. It was filled with fear and helplessness.

“Wait for me!” Qiao Chen gritted his teeth, pushed open the door, and sprinted out of the room.

Xu Wan’s terrified voice instantly pricked his heart. When he thought of Xu Wan being in such a frightening situation, Qiao Chen felt his blood boil. He wished he could immediately fly to Xu Wan’s side.

After calling Ah De over, Qiao Chen rushed to Xu Wan’s place.

“Drive faster! Haven’t you eaten?” Qiao Chen’s expression was extremely nasty and his tone was icy.

“I;m already driving at the maximum speed, Third Master!” Ah De gritted his teeth and said, ignoring the astonished gazes of the pedestrians. He drove at such a high speed that the car could have taken off and flew if it had wings.

Xu Wan curled up in the bathroom’s corner. She had already used the mop to block the door, although it was probably useless.

She had just shattered the mirror and held onto a shard. She thought of taking that despicable man down with herself if he actually rushed in!

Her delicate hand gripped the glass shard tightly, which made a bloody cut on her tender skin. It was a ghastly sight.

Qiao Chen. Where are you?

At that moment, Xu Wan seemed like she was waiting for a messiah. She kept reciting Qiao Chen’s name in her heart. As if this was the only name that could give her the courage to persevere.

The bathroom door was still quite sturdy. It had taken several hits from the man. However, if this went on, it would definitely not hold up!

Xu Wan’s lips trembled. She gritted her teeth stubbornly, with her gaze fixed on the bathroom door.

Bang! The burly man still broke the door!

Xu Wan screamed and raised the glass shard. “Get lost, don’t come over!”

Gao Hu finally knocked open the door and entered. The first thing he saw was Xu Wan curling up in the corner. The woman was wearing a tight-fitting shirt, which accentuated her perfect figure. He licked his lips excitedly. His eyes were filled with ferocity.

“You made me wait for so long. Hurry up and apologize to me! Come, play with me and I’ll forgive you!” Gao Hu walked over with a perverted smile and reached out to grab Xu Wan.

Xu Wan struggled with all her might as she waved the glass shards around. The shards accidentally cut Gao Hu’s cheek, and deepened the wound on Xu Wan’s hand. Blood dripped down and stained the bathroom floor.

Gao Hu felt the stinging pain on his face and his rage instantly flared up. He raised his hand to give Xu Wan a tight slap.

Just as he was about to slap her cheek, a hand suddenly grabbed Gao Hu’s wrist. Then, that hand exerted some strength, and dislocated Gao Hu’s wrist-bone with a “crack”.

Gao Hu let out a horrifying shriek and cursed, “F*ck you!” He turned around and swung his elbow towards the face of the person behind him.

Xu Wan’s pupils constricted abruptly. “Qiao Chen, be careful!”

Qiao Chen snorted and reacted promptly. He tilted his body slightly to dodge Gao Hu’s attack and then raised his leg to sweep at Gao Hu’s legs.

Evidently, Qiao Chen had been specially trained in martial arts. His moves were deft and orderly. Needless to say, he could easily deal with someone like Gao Hu, who only used brute force.

Soon, Gao Hu flopped on the bathroom floor. Qiao Chen said to Ah De, who was standing outside the bathroom and could not make a move in time, “Drag him out and wait for me to deal with him later.”

Ah De stood dumbfounded as he watched his boss subdue the man in a few moves. He didn’t even need to do anything. He felt a little embarrassed.

After Qiao Chen and he arrived at Xu Wan’s place, they immediately dragged the estate manager out of his office. That guy was shrieking like a pig being slaughtered. He thought that Qiao Chen and Ah De were kidnappers.

Then, Qiao Chen and Ah De got the keys from the estate management and brought it to Xu Wan’s house.

After opening the door, Qiao Chen rushed in. Ah De had never seen Qiao Chen so anxious.

Gao Hu was dragged out. Qiao Chen saw bloodstains all over the bathroom floor. He saw Xu Wan, who was curled up in a corner, shivering. His heart ached. He whispered, afraid that he would scare Xu Wan, “Don’t be afraid. I’m here. It’s okay.”

This “don’t be afraid” stunned Xu Wan. She threw away the glass shard in her hand and burst into tears. “Qiao Chen!”

Qiao Chen walked forward and hugged Xu Wan tightly. He could feel Xu Wan trembling violently in his arms.

“I’ve been late.”

Qiao Chen sprinted madly along the way, but he still felt that he was too late.

He had let her suffer.

After Xu Wan finished bawling, she wept softly. She was still lying in Qiao Chen’s arms, hugging him and refusing to let go.

She was so traumatized. Qiao Chen’s embrace gave her a sense of security. For the first time in her life, she actually felt reliant on a man she didn’t really like..
