"That girl's called Zhao Churan. I wasn't even familiar with her before last night. I only did her a favor. When I heard that you wanted a divorce, I was upset and bumped into her when I was heading out. Since I didn't have anywhere to go, I went to her house. We had a few drinks and a heart-to-heart talk. We didn't do anything more than that," Long Chen explained.
However, Li Yuechan didn't believe him and kept shaking her head. "I'd rather you admit to your fling with her. That will make me feel better."
"We didn't do it. Are we still getting a divorce?"
"What divorce? So that you could go live a happy life with your lover? No one's divorcing. I won't let you get what you want," Li Yuechan shrieked.
"Okay, no divorce. But please don't misunderstand anything. Not that I mind, but Zhao Churan's innocent. Don't ruin her reputation," Long Chen said solemnly.
"Heh, you're defending her now? Long Chen, I'd never expected you to be this kind of person," Li Yuechan sneered.
Long Chen furrowed his brows, growing a little irritated. "It's up to you whether you believe me or not. Since you've never treated me as your husband, it doesn't matter whether something happened between her and me, right?"
"You..." Li Yuechan couldn't refute him, but she became even more enraged and left with a pale face.
Long Chen guessed she was going straight to work, so he let her go. Little did they know that great peril was awaiting her.
In this instance, someone had parked their cab outside their residential area. The cab driver was wearing a mask and a baseball cap, making a phone call in a low voice.
"She's not out yet, Boss," The driver mumbled.
"I've asked around. Her car's still undergoing servicing, so she'll take a cab to work for sure. As soon as she gets in the car, knock her out and bring her to my KTV."

"Bring her here. Today, I'll use her to make her husband, Long Chen, suffer in hell. I'll let that pig know his place."
...
Half an hour later, Long Chen, strolling on the streets, received a phone call from Li Yuechan. However, the voice on the phone wasn't hers.
"Tsk, Long Chen, guess what happened to your wife?" The man's sinister voice was piercing to the ear.
"Ning Haoran?" Long Chen recognized him. "What do you mean?"
"You attacked me yesterday. Did you enjoy it? Heh, I kidnapped your wife today and offered her some good drugs. It's starting to take effect now. My brothers and I can't wait to have some good fun now."
"Don't you dare try to hurt her. I'll tear you into pieces. I'll make sure Li Yuexin and all the women in your family receive the same treatment you give to her, "Long Chen said calmly.
On the other side was Ning Haoran wincing at what he'd heard. He didn't expect Long Chen to be so unyielding. But in the blink of an eye, he readjusted his breath and sneered, "Don't f*cking try to terrorize me. I'll give you ten minutes. Come to the KTV. In less than ten minutes, your wife will be offering herself to my brothers without them taking the initiative.
Tuuut.
The phone got disconnected.
Long Chen was sweaty from anxiety, and he immediately took a cab, hurrying to his wife. It just so happened that there was a traffic jam during this peak hour.
He immediately got out of the car, bolting at full speed. He accelerated at such extraordinary, eye-opening speed. In less than ten minutes, he found the KTV Ning Haoran had mentioned.
At the door, two well-dressed young men saw Long Chen's arrival and were about to use the walkie-talkie to make contact. However, Long Chen swiftly made his move and knocked them out. Then, he rushed into the KTV.
It wasn't their business hour yet, so there were no customers. Yet, more than 30 people had gathered in the spacious hall. They were all holding wooden sticks, knives, or steel pipes.
On the ground, Li Yuechan clutched her stomach. Her face flushed red, and her gaze wandered all over. Her petite body trembled as she tried to maintain the last trace of consciousness.
"You're pretty fast. At last, you got here, Long Chen. Look at your wife. Tsk-tsk. She looks so sl*tty."
Ning Haoran grabbed Li Yuechan's hair, pulling her up violently.
"Let her go and come at me instead," Long Chen shouted.
"Yes, I'm planning to do that. But now, I'm going to hit your wife in front of you." Ning Haoran raised his hand and slapped her hard on her left cheek.
Li Yuechan grunted, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. But she was too weak to struggle.
"Haha, Boss. Why don't you show him how his wife rides before his eyes?"
"Great suggestion."
"You don't say. This lady's real hot. Haha. I'm even getting excited."
The group of men holding weapons roared with laughter. ????????????????????α????. ????o????
"Brothers, the surveillance cameras are off. You guys take out Long Chen first. Beat him up as hard as you need. I'll take responsibility for anything that happens afterward. As for this woman, she'll belong to everyone once Long Chen's out. You can play with her as rough as you want as long as she saves her last breath," Ning Haoran announced cruelly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Long Chen, run..." Li Yuechan tried with all her might as she called out to him.
But how could Long Chen run away now?
"You bunch of scums. None of you will be leaving today." Long Chen growled and charged at the crowd.
"Get him."
"You reckless fool. You dare offend our boss. Today, it'll be the last you'll ever see."
"Kill him!"
The 30 men all rushed toward Long Chen, their weapons aimed at him.
After the awakening of his innate talent, the benefits that his bloodline brought were endless. It was as if he had been reborn. His body also contained mysterious energy that could cure and save lives, plus a destructive power.
However, Long Chen had never practiced proper martial arts techniques. Facing the siege of dozens of people, he fought back instinctively. But even so, Long Chen still showed his most aggressive side. He kept launching at the men. One by one, he knocked the men flying, causing them to lose the ability to fight. The men screamed in pain one after another.
As for Long Chen, he wasn't having a good time either. Steel pipes and knives came at and injured him non-stop, and wounds started to appear on his body. However, he showed no signs of falling. Instead, he was like Ares. Even though the many bloody wounds on his body were still bleeding, they didn't affect his combat power. He grew more and more courageous as he fought. He continued charging forward. Soon, he took most of the men out.
Long Chen had such a reckless way of fighting and such a powerful one. It had caused the remaining people to shiver in fear. They all retreated backward, completely terrified, lacking the courage to attack again.
"T-this man's a f*cking monster."
"He's too powerful, Boss."
"Are you all a bunch of trash?" Ning Haoran was furious."Don't be f*cking cowards. He's heavily injured. We can beat him down if we give him a little more."
"B-boss. I-I quit," A blonde guy said in a trembling voice and ran off.
Seeing this, the others who were still standing all turned and fled. No matter how Ning Haoran yelled at them, they pretended not to hear him and ran away in unison. They were all scared out of their wits.
Ning Haoran was so mad that he pulled out a dagger and placed it on Li Yuechan's neck. He shouted like a madman, "Long Chen, get down on your knees, or I'll kill her this instant. Get on the floor, now."
