Nie Lingyu looked at the person lying on the bed with a cold expression, filled with resentment and anger in his heart.

He didn’t know how many times he had taken him, but he only stopped when Bai Yu had completely passed out.

Nie Lingyu’s eyes narrowed, filled with a cold and sinister aura.

Bai Yu’s body was covered in bruises caused by him, yet even so, Nie Lingyu’s anger didn’t diminish in the slightest.

On the contrary, it burned even stronger!

Indeed, he shouldn’t have given Bai Yu any freedom at all.

He should have kept Bai Yu hidden, preventing anyone from seeing him, so that he could never leave him.

Nie Lingyu clenched his teeth tightly.

From today onwards, he wouldn’t let Bai Yu take a single step out of this room!

Nie Lingyu put on his clothes, without giving a glance to the person lying on the bed, and walked towards the door.

With a loud bang, the door was forcefully shut.

At that moment, Bai Yu, who had kept his eyes closed, slowly opened them.

In fact, he hadn’t actually passed out. He just couldn’t afford to not pretend, as the villain was too brutal. If he didn’t pretend to be unconscious, he would truly be tortured to death.

Bai Yu rubbed his sore wrist, which had been squeezed by Nie Lingyu and turned purple.

A touch of melancholy appeared on Bai Yu’s face as he smiled bitterly.

“This time, I went too far.”

“[Wuwuwu…]” Xiao Mihu couldn’t help but cry when they saw Bai Yu’s appearance.

“[Host, are you hurt…? The way the villain was so cruel just now scared me silly.]”

Originally, Bai Yu felt somewhat uncomfortable, although he had anticipated everything that was happening.

But when he heard the crying voice of Xiao Mihu, he couldn’t help but laugh.

“Don’t cry, it’s okay. Look, you were already quite silly to begin with, if you get any sillier, I’ll have to request a system change.”

“[Host, you villain! Wuwuwu…]” Xiao Mihu cried even louder.

Bai Yu struggled to prop himself up and leaned against the headboard, a hint of desolation in his eyes.

However, it’s alright, soon Nie Lingyu will know the truth.

At that time, everything will start to reverse.

At this moment, the door to the room suddenly burst open.

Bai Lin looked at Bai Yu with a triumphant expression, but his mouth pretended to be concerned.

“Brother, what happened? Why did you make Lingyu angry again?”

Bai Yu stared at him straight in the eyes, a trace of disdain on his face.

“Why would I make Nie Lingyu angry? You know it best, don’t you?”

“Brother, what are you talking about? How would I know?”

Bai Lin’s eyes were filled with overflowing arrogance.

With Bai Yu’s current situation, Bai Lin didn’t even want to pretend anymore.

“Look at you, spouting nonsense again. It was clearly you who chased after Yao Fang willingly. Do you think Nie Lingyu will still like you in the future? He has seen through your fickleness. He’ll only treat you like garbage from now on!”

Bai Yu looked at Bai Lin, who was reveling in his petty victory and couldn’t be bothered to pay him any attention. He simply lay back down, closed his eyes, and started to sleep.

However, Bai Yu could endure it, but Xiao Mihu couldn’t.

“[Host, how can he insult you like that? Go and beat him up!]”

After all, with Bai Yu’s abilities, it wouldn’t be impossible to kill Bai Lin with a single punch.

Bai Yu’s eyes drooped slightly, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes.

“It’s alright, System. He probably doesn’t know that his time is running out. Let him enjoy his moment of arrogance for a few more minutes.”

Although I could indeed kill him.

But wouldn’t it be more interesting to let him log off in despair?

In the living room, Nie Lingyu sat there with a cold expression.

“Boss.”

A bodyguard rushed in, looking at Nie Lingyu with fear. At this moment, Nie Lingyu looked like a demon from hell.

His face had become extremely dark.

In this spacious living room, there was not a single person besides Nie Lingyu.

The household staff had long been scared into hiding and dared not come out.

The floor was covered with broken items, and the living room was in a mess.

However, despite being scared, the bodyguard gathered his courage and approached.

After all, this matter was of great importance.

“Boss, you misunderstood Young Master Bai Yu.”

The young bodyguard looked at Nie Lingyu and hastily said, “I just checked the travel route of Bai Yu’s taxi. He didn’t go to Yao Fang’s house.”

Nie Lingyu’s pupils suddenly contracted. The blazing anger that was burning within him was instantly extinguished, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.

But the urgency in his heart intensified.

He abruptly stood up from the sofa and grabbed the bodyguard’s collar.

“What did you say?”

“Boss, please listen to me…”

The young bodyguard looked at Nie Lingyu with some fear and quickly took out a bank card transaction record from his pocket.

“We checked the roadside surveillance cameras. Young Master Bai Yu went to the city and spent the whole afternoon selecting a tie in a store.”

“Later, we asked the salesperson, and they said that Young Master Bai Yu said he wanted to buy a gift for someone he liked.”

Nie Lingyu’s heart suddenly ached.

“A gift…”

He suddenly remembered that when Bai Yu came back, he was holding a gift bag in his hand and smiling, saying that he wanted to give it to him.

But he had treated that gift like trash and thrown it in the garbage bin!

Bai Yu felt sorry and picked up the gift, but he had thrown it away again.

The young bodyguard looked at Nie Lingyu’s ugly expression and continued, “Boss, the tie that Young Master Bai Yu bought for you used up all his savings. Take a look.”

The young bodyguard then took out the bank card transaction record that had been prepared in advance and handed it to Nie Lingyu.

The money in this card was all Bai Yu’s savings, totaling over twenty thousand yuan.

For Nie Lingyu, this amount of money meant nothing, but for Bai Yu, it was what he had worked hard to save.

But he had spent it all just to buy a tie for Nie Lingyu.

Now, there were only a few cents left in that card.

Nie Lingyu’s heart suddenly ached.

He could imagine the kind of feelings Bai Yu had when he bought this gift for him.

Bai Yu had always claimed to love him, to not want to leave him.

But he had never believed it.

He had even treated the gift that Bai Yu had bought with all his savings as trash and thrown it away.

He had cruelly insulted Bai Yu just now…

Nie Lingyu clenched his fists tightly.

Endless remorse filled his heart!

God, what have I done?
