Chapter 1036 Torture
Chapter 1036 Torture
Lisa supported Cheng Yunchuan and looked around cautiously. The room was luxuriously decorated but cold, and the air was filled with a sickening sweet fragrance that made her feel nauseous.
"We have to leave here quickly." Lisa said, helping Cheng Yunchuan walk towards the door.
"Stop!" Jiang Mubai's voice came from the door, with a hint of coldness. She held a gun in her hand, pointing it at Lisa and Cheng Yunchuan.
Lisa suddenly stopped, she protected Cheng Yunchuan behind her, and confronted Jiang Mubai with forced calmness. "Jiang Mubai, you are crazy! You are breaking the law!"
Jiang Mubai sneered, "Breaking the law? In this world, money is the law! I can have whatever I want!" Her eyes were crazy, her finger on the trigger, "None of you can leave here!"
Lisa took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm. She knew that she couldn't anger Jiang Mubai now, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. "Jiang Mubai, calm down, let's talk."
"Talk? What's there to talk about?" Jiang Mubai yelled hysterically, "Cheng Yunchuan is mine! No one can take him away from me!"
"Yunchuan doesn't love you at all! You are forcing him!" Lisa tried to awaken a bit of rationality in Jiang Mubai.
"Love? What is love?" Jiang Mubai laughed so hard that tears came out, as if he had heard a joke. "Love is possession! It means making him belong to me forever!"
"You are wrong!" Cheng Yunchuan suddenly spoke, his voice weak but firm, "Love is respect and fulfillment, not imprisonment and torture!"
Jiang Mubai was stunned. She looked at Cheng Yunchuan in disbelief, as if she was meeting him for the first time. "You...what did you say?"
"I said, I will never love you!" Cheng Yunchuan looked directly into Jiang Mubai's eyes and said word by word, "Your twisted love only makes me feel sick!"
Jiang Mubai's expression instantly turned ferocious. She raised the gun in her hand and pointed it at Cheng Yunchuan's chest. "You dare to say that again!"
Lisa's eyes widened in horror. She wanted to stop Jiang Mubai, but it was too late.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the room was suddenly filled with a strong smell of blood.
Lisa screamed and threw herself on Cheng Yunchuan, but found that there was no blood on his chest. She looked up in confusion and saw that the gun in Jiang Mubai's hand fell to the ground, and a dagger was stuck in her shoulder.
A tall figure stood at the door, his face could not be seen clearly against the light. He held another dagger in his hand, which was still dripping with blood.
"Who?" Lisa asked warily.
The man slowly approached, and under the light, Lisa saw his face clearly. It was a handsome and unfamiliar face, with a hint of coldness and murderous intent in his eyes.
"It doesn't matter who I am," the man said in a low voice with a hint of teasing, "What's important is that I'm here to take my wife away." As he said this, he turned his gaze to Jiang Mubai who was lying on the ground, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Long time no see, my bride."
Only then did Lisa notice that Jiang Mubai was wearing a red silk nightgown, which was what the man called a "bridal dress."
Lisa felt her mind go blank. She had no idea what was going on. Who was this man? What was his relationship with Jiang Mubai? Why did he suddenly appear and save them?
The man bent down and picked up Jiang Mubai, ignoring Lisa's shocked look, and walked straight out the door. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Lisa, and said meaningfully: "Remember, for some secrets, the more you know, the faster you die."
After saying that, he hugged Jiang Mubai and disappeared into the night, leaving only Lisa and Cheng Yunchuan, as well as a room full of confusion and fear.
Lisa's head was buzzing, and she felt like she had fallen into a huge whirlpool. She held onto the wall and barely stood still, her eyes falling on Cheng Yunchuan. He was pale, holding his chest, obviously frightened, but he didn't look injured.
"Are you okay?" Lisa asked with concern.
Cheng Yunchuan shook his head and looked at the door with complicated eyes. There was still the smell of the man when he left. "Who... who is he?"
Lisa was also confused. Jiang Mubai's crazy love, the appearance of the mysterious man, the red wedding dress... all of these were like a mess, and she couldn't figure it out.
Suddenly, Cheng Yunchuan seemed to remember something and his face changed. "Lisa, hurry up! We have to call the police! Jiang Mubai..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a group of uniformed police officers rushed into the room. The leading police officer had a serious face, and his eyes swept across the room, finally landing on them.
"You are?"
"We are..." Lisa was about to speak, but was interrupted by Cheng Yunchuan.
"Officer, Jiang Mubai has been kidnapped!" He pointed in the direction of the door and said hurriedly, "The kidnapper just left, go chase him!"
The police officer looked at him suspiciously, then looked at the gun and dagger on the ground, as well as the red silk robe scattered beside him. "Kidnapping? Are you sure?"
"It's absolutely true!" Cheng Yunchuan said anxiously, "The kidnapper is a tall man wearing black clothes..."
Lisa added: "He was holding a dagger in his hand, very dangerous!"
After hearing their description, the police officer frowned and immediately ordered a manhunt. The sirens cut through the night sky, breaking the tranquility of the villa.
Cheng Yunchuan and Lisa were taken back to the police station to take statements. Under the glaring lights, Lisa recounted the events in detail, but concealed the details about the "bridal dress". She always felt that there was a huge secret hidden behind the red nightgown, and this secret might bring them greater danger.
It was already early morning when the statement was taken. Lisa walked out of the police station tiredly, and Cheng Yunchuan followed her silently.
"Thank you, Lisa." Cheng Yunchuan's voice was low and full of gratitude. "If it weren't for you, I..."
Lisa shook her head and interrupted him, "Stop talking about this. We should think about what to do next."
Cheng Yunchuan was silent for a moment, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. "I want to find Jiang Mubai and find out what is going on!"
Lisa looked at him, feeling uneasy. "Yunchuan, are you really going to do this? That man... is very dangerous."
"I know." Cheng Yunchuan's tone was firm, "But I don't care. I can't watch her fall into danger. No matter what the cost, I will rescue her!"
Lisa looked at his determined eyes and knew she couldn't dissuade him. She sighed and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
