Chapter 202 The Mysterious Man

“Get your hands off me!”

Tang Xia shouted in terror after noticing that Chu Tianjiao was coming closer and closer. She could never expect that he would force himself on her. She struggled to get away from him, with her body moving violently.

But instead, the more she struggled, the more turned on he became. His eyes were darkened, and the smile on his face made him look even more evil.

There is a great disparity in strength between men and women. Obviously, she could not get away from him, not even with all of her strength, not mention that she was wounded all over. She could do nothing but watch his body get closer and closer to her.

At the very moment, there was a faint knock at the door. “I’m saved!” she rejoiced deep in her heart.

Then a very thin figure showed up in front of the door. It was Li Xianxian.

Usually, Tang Xia detested encountering her, but not now. Tang Xia thanked God for sending her in, even though she knew that she didn’t come to rescue her.

Looking at Chu Tianjiao and Tang Xia, Li Xianxian furrowed her brows. It was quite easy to notice the envy in her eyes. “What’s so good about her? Why on earth is Chu Tianjiao so interested in her?” she wondered in her mind.

From the way they were positioned and Tang Xia’s messy clothes, it was not hard to work out what Chu Tianjiao was going to do to Tang Xia.

Because Li Xianxian had intruded, Chu Tianjiao had to stop.

Chu Tianjiao stood up unpleasantly. Seeing that Tang Xia breathed a sigh of relief, Chu Tianjiao gave her a black look.

“Why didn’t you knock the door? Don’t you see that my hands are tied?” Chu Tianjiao glared at Li Xianxian and said with an angry voice.

He dressed himself up the moment he stood up. He even smoothed out the wrinkles on his fine clothes. It was really hard to imagine that this well-dressed man was the same brutal man.

Li Xianxian changed her envious look into a sweet one and complained, “Don’t blame me. I knocked on the door for quite a while. You didn’t answer, that’s why I came in without your permission.”

Her voice was more sweet than harsh, anyone would be touched under such gentle intonation.

Handsome and grim as Chu Tianjiao was, but still, he was moved by Li Xianxian and was not able to scold her.

“You promised me that you would keep me company. I have waited for you till now. It’s been a long time,” said Li Xianxian with a charming tone and the intention of blaming him.

It was not until then that Chu Tianjiao thought of it. There was an unhappy look on his face. Though he was reluctant, he left with Li Xianxian.

Before Chu Tianjiao left, he took a deep look at Tang Xia. The obvious lust in his eyes made her nervous again.

At the very moment, she noticed that they left without locking the door. She was thrilled.

Tang Xia pretended to lower her head as if she was broken down. But deep in her heart was strong joy.

Chu Tianjiao confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Tang Xia, so he left along with Li Xianxian.

Tang Xia waited for a while until there was no sound heard outside. She looked up. Though her face was still pale, she made up her mind that she would try every possible means to run away from this.

From the look that Chu Tianjiao threw at her, she knew he would not spare her and surely would return to torture her.

If so, she would not be so lucky as she had been this time to have Li Xianxian interrupt the torture.

She could do nothing to stop whatever Chu Tianjiao wanted to do to her. At the thought of it, her body was surrounded by coldness as if she were in an icy cellar.

Though it was just a short moment, she had tasted the terror of hell. Chu Tianjiao was like exactly a demon from hell with a handsome face.

It was horrible to stay with such a temperamental man. She could not know when Chu Tianjiao would harass her again. She unconsciously bit her lips when she recalled what just happened a moment ago.

No matter what it took, she had to run away before the bad moment would come. Tang Xia clenched her fists, making up her mind.

Because of the struggling a moment ago, most of the bandages had come off. The wounds were nothing to her compared to what had just happened. So the bandages were a burden to her. Then she ripped all of them off.

Tang Xia pulled herself out of bed cautiously, tiptoed to the door, and peered out.

Though Chu Tianjiao forgot to lock the door, thus leaving Tang Xia a chance of running away, there was a maid watching over the outside of the door. So she couldn’t be too cautious.

If the maid found out and told others, she would definitely fail. So she had to take her down before anyone could find out.

Tang Xia searched the whole house and finally, she found a vase. It was a little cumbersome, but it could be a useful weapon if it was well used. What’s more, she had no better choice.

Tang Xia picked up the vase carefully, took a deep breath, and walked cautiously to the door. She opened the door until she could barely squeeze through it. She was going to knock the maid down even before she could find her.

However, no sooner had she opened the door than the maid realized her intention.

“You want to run away…” The maid stared at Tang Xia with big astonished eyes. Tang Xia had no other options, so she smashed the vase on the maid’s head.

It made a wound on the maid’s head, and fresh blood started springing out. The blood kept running down her cheeks, thus turning her lovely face into a hideous one.

She looked down at the maid with her hands trembling violently.

However, the maid was still conscious because she relented the moment she smashed the vase. After all, she had no such experience and she had already plucked up all her courage.

The maid pressed the wound on her head and was a little startled. Then she immediately reached out her hands and tried to grab Tang Xia like a mad person.

“Help, she is going to escape…” shouted the maid with an alarmed voice, which panicked and frightened Tang Xia. She knew exactly what would happen to her if she was caught.

Panicked as she was, she smashed the vase on the maid again. This time, she pulled out all her strength consciously.

Before Tang Xia realized it, the maid had passed out on the ground. Blood was all over Tang Xia.

She didn’t know whether the blood was the maid’s or hers from her old wound. Tang Xia threw away the vase without any hesitation and rushed out into the hall.

She was not sure if the maid’s screaming had startled anyone. So she had to run away before anyone even noticed her. Then she might have a slight chance of surviving.

Tang Xia dared not look back. She ran as quickly as a rocket. She was extremely nervous. If anything unexpected were to happen, she would have broken down immediately.

Luckily, she did not come across anybody all along the way. After she finally got to the hall, she realized that there were cold tears all over her cheeks.

The journey in this fictitious world was too hard for her. She could barely persist in staying here until its end.

She needn’t look into the mirror to know how awful she appeared, with blood and tears all over her, and messy hair caused by her running.

But Tang Xia did not care about that, she had no time to deal with it. She immediately opened the window of the hall. The hall was situated right on the edge of the cliff. Beneath the window was the dark blue sea.

Tang opened the window, and a gust of sea air rushed into the hall. She felt a sense of freedom from the sea breeze.

Tang Xia climbed up to the window, and closed her eyes unconsciously. Her nerves were kind of smoothed out by the sea wind. She couldn’t help wanting more of it.

“Are you going to die like this?” A sudden male voice came from out of nowhere, but was clear enough that it touched deep in her heart. It startled Tang Xia and she opened her eyes in surprise.

A strange man showed up behind the curtain, but no one had been there before. He just showed up from nowhere. But at this very moment, he was staring at her. Apparently, the voice belonged to him.

“Who are you?” Tang Xia asked in surprise. From the information that she had learned, there was supposed to be only one man here. “Who is this strange man?”

“It is very curious. Why is he here?”

Lots of questions just popped into her mind. Instead of jumping out of the window, she suspended all of her actions unconsciously.

“Were you going to jump down just now?”

Instead of answering her question, he asked her again, staring directly at her. His eyes were so sharp as if he could see through her, deep into her heart and soul.

Under his undisguised look, she strangely felt a little ashamed. After all, suicide is a cowardly thing. Though she indeed was going to jump down, she didn’t want to admit it to his face at this moment.

Human beings’ emotions could sometimes be marvelous. A second ago, Tang Xia was determined to jump down, but she was now unsure of it after this strange man had interrupted her. It seemed that she had changed her mind all of a sudden.

Looking out at the sea, she found that the dark blue of the water was still as charming as it had been before. But it was not so captivating that she would jump into it.

“I just need some fresh air.”

Tang Xia blushed, and was a little embarrassed as she lowered her head. The wind kissed her at her ears and blew some strands of hair to her rosy cheeks, thus hiding her ashamed look.

The cool wind touched her face and hair gently. She seemed to calm down.

The wind was so gentle, and Tang Xia was almost lost in it. It was when Tang Xia heard a chuckle again from the strange man that she came to her senses. She looked up but saw nobody.

No one was in the hall. It was like he had never even been there. It seemed that what had just happened was just an illusion.

But his captivating voice and half-smiling face still remained vivid in her memory.
