Han Sheng snatched the whip from the man while he glanced at Han Jian Yu disdainfully, ''You have always only ruined my plans...'' He looked in the direction of the camera, ''All my plans...''
As he said so, his eyes narrowed and a glint flashed across them.
Crack!
The sound of the whip reverberated in the terrace as a cut appeared on Han Jian Yu's dark suit, blood oozed out from his back.
A small frown formed between his brows but he did not make a single sound as he closed his eyes.
''Zixuan, let me go...''
Jun Zixuan held Yu Mei tightly in his arms as he glanced at the scene in front of his eyes quietly, his eyes narrowed a bit and he looked at the man standing on his left.
The man looked back at him and blinked once.
Jun Zixuan's frown smoothened as he stroked Yu Mei's back.
'Crack!'
'Crack!'
'Crack!'
The consequent sounds of the whip echoed in the place and blood kept seeping out from Han Jian Yu's back, his shoulders had glaring cuts through the dark coloured suit that he was wearing.
Yu Mei could feel a knot forming in her heart as she heard those sounds. Soft sobs escaped her mouth as she weakly placed her face on Jun Zixuan's chest. All her life, there have been times when she felt helpless but she had never once felt this helpless before.
Han Sheng did not stop as he rolled up his sleeves, continuing to flog Han Jian Yu with all his strength. He did not seem to be holding back as the sound of every hit was sharper than before.
Han Jian Yu's dark coloured suit was filled with cuts as the fabric of his clothes were damaged by the whip. And through the cuts, one could see the glarish cuts on his skin, flesh protruding through them.
Han Sheng stopped lashing the man as he panted, trying to catch his breath. He lowered his body before he grabbed Han Jian Yu's jaws, ''You have not changed a bit. You have been just like this since you were a kid. You will die... but without making a sound,'' As he said those words, his eyes seemed crazed and happy, ''And that...makes me want more to kill you.''
As he said so, his fingers dug into his jaws.
Han Jian Yu stared at him with an indifferent expression even as sweat droplets rolled down his face.
Han Sheng let go of his face while he raised his hand, lashing the whip right on Han Jian Yu's shoulder.
Han Jian Yu sucked in a cold breath as the whip hit the back of his neck.
''Boss....''
A panicked cry shot up in the place which was followed by some shocked gasps.
Han Sheng stopped hitting Han Jian Yu as he frowned.
Han Jian Yu lowered his head and his hair which were damp because of the sweat framed his face.
''What happened?!" Displeasure for being interrupted was apparent on Han Sheng's voice as he turned around.
''B-Boss, something is happening... happening to this...'' The man who was holding Mia said as he stepppd a few steps back, his hands were shaking as blood rolled down from his wrist down to his elbow.
His hands shivered and the little fox dropped from his hands...
Jun Zixuan's grip on Yu Mei loosened and he glanced at the man beside him as he nodded.
The man nodded back and slowly retreated from the place while everyone's attention was on the other side.
''Mia...'' A whisper left Yu Mei's mouth and it caught Jun Zixuan's attention as he turned to look in the other direction.
The sight that he witnessed...made him pause, his lips thinned and a murderous intent flashed across his eyes. Mia was lying on the ground, like a ball of raw flesh. Her pristine fur was tainted with blood and there were cuts all over her body.
Jun Zixuan supported Yu Mei's shaky body as he closed his eyes, trying to control the chaotic emotions in his heart.
He called her his adopted sister and Mia thought it was just a cover that he got to dupe Han Jian Yu into believing it but that all-time sly yet emotionally dumb woman never realized that he did see her as a sister that he never had.
''You tortured it too much. Looks like it died,'' Han Sheng spoke in a disgusted tone as he swung the whip, lashing Han Jian Yu's shoulder, ''No worries...''
His words were yet to finish as the sounds of rotating helicopter blades reverberated in the sky. The underground mansion had a huge forest area surrounding it and as more and more helicopters came, the trees started shaking, the pace of the wind flipped the tables and chairs on the terrace.
''You want to kill me,'' Han Sheng wrapped the whip around Han Jian Yu's neck as he grabbed the whip before tightening it, ''But I want to take you all down with me. The Han Family...will pay for what they have done,'' Hatred laced his voice as he kept tightening the whip around the man's neck.
After being flogged by him, Han Jian Yu's body was numb and with the whip tightening around his neck, he could feel his breath turning shaky. He placed his thumb on his neck before he wrapped his other fingers around the whip as he held it. The whip grazed on his neck, cutting the sides of his neck, tearing open the skin.
''Argh...'' Han Jian Yu winced. After a long period of torment, a sound escaped his mouth and it was as if it poured in more pleasure for the man as he strangled him with whip harder than before.
Han Sheng twisted the two ends of the whip to tighten in Han Jian Yu's palm was slashed by it.
Yu Mei and Jun Zixuan who were still shaken by Mia's condition...turned to look over when they heard Han Jian Yu wincing.
''AHHHH!!'' A shrill scream resounded in the place getting everyone's attention.
