Chapter 374 Chuck
Chapter 374 Chuck
The deal is done!
Liu Linzhou's intentions are likely more than just to cooperate with Nansa, and Nan En's desires extend beyond simply being an heir. There must be other deals between these two.
It's almost time; the play is over, and it's about time to call Nan En over.
Lin Xiu stretched her body, preparing to ask Lin Yi to invite someone, just then, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, followed by a cracking sound.
"Where is Miss Lin?" It was Sethia.
Sessia almost forgot her composure; her heart was pounding like a drum, and she was overwhelmed with excitement.
I actually got a Black Jadeite! A Black Jadeite!
It wasn't just the black jadeite that made him lose his composure; what truly shocked him was that 80% of the rough stones Lin Xiu had selected were top-quality jadeite, and his own stone had also been predicted to be the best.
What incredible stone-identifying skills!
Sethia was filled with regret. He shouldn't have judged people by their appearances. How could someone so young, who had risen to the position of power in Corleone, be an ordinary person?
His commotion was quite loud, which naturally alerted the people in the two surrounding rooms, and for a moment some people were drawn to the noise.
A short man with fierce eyes, about thirty years old, but dressed properly, stepped out. His expression softened slightly when he saw that it was Sethia.
Sessia is a respected figure in the area; who wouldn't give him some face?
The person who came out was Chuck, the general's youngest son, who was also the least outstanding of the general's sons.
Born last, the old general's share of the spoils had already been distributed. Unable to take what belonged to his elder brother, he could only resort to unorthodox methods of commerce, becoming arrogant, ruthless, and utterly unscrupulous.
Lin Xiu didn't know much about him. The system had just investigated the people in the surrounding houses, but there was no more information when they investigated further.
Those in high positions leave no trace, like Liu Linzhou and Xie Huai. Even though they were businessmen, they did not become well-known to the public. Instead, the younger generation in their families were more high-profile.
"Oh, it's Sethia! Why aren't you downstairs cutting stones? What are you doing up here?" Chuck asked inquiringly.
Sethia wasn't intimidated by him. As a local bigwig, he had a keen sense of things when dealing with people he knew. In some ways, he and Chuck were even drinking buddies!
"I'm overjoyed to have found such a rare item!" he laughed heartily.
Chuck's gaunt face wore a forced smile, and his eyes, like those of a lizard in the forest, were cold and terrifying, as if he could launch a sneak attack from behind in an instant.
His probing gaze swept over the other person, then fell upon Lin Xiu, who was already standing in the doorway with the door open. A hint of amazement and...greed flashed in his eyes, which gleamed brightly.
She wasn't the most beautiful woman he'd ever seen, but she had a certain charm about her!
He was so obsessed with being whipped, stripped bare, chewed up and swallowed, stripped of his seemingly cold and ruthless exterior, leaving him only to be abused. Tears and blood would seep into the white sheets, staining them into the most beautiful art. Just when he was about to lose interest, he would be sent out to be tamed, finally becoming a dog with that decadent face.
Chuck's eyes were burning red, and he was trembling with excitement, as if he had seen a feast.
Hahaha!
He unconsciously curled his lips into a smile, like a demon from hell.
How long has it been!
How long has it been!
It's been so long since I felt like every cell in my body was screaming with excitement! Yes! It's that bitch!
Since that bitch disappeared, he has never felt this kind of exhilarating excitement again. That little bitch, his puppy, the crying and shouting boy, has become a slut who is available to everyone, and can no longer dream of escaping his fate.
"Hehe, hehe!"
The chilling atmosphere sent shivers down one's spine. The man's sinister gaze, like a venomous snake, crept toward Lin Xiu. The place was sticky and slippery, and despite being incense-scented, it inexplicably reeked of a foul stench.
Chaochao's face turned pale, so pale it lost all color, like a butterfly with broken wings in the cold winter wind. Her pupils became deep and lost, and she could barely stand.
The nightmare, it's the nightmare again!
This feeling, this feeling is as if I have returned to that day when I knelt naked in the snow.
So many people were watching him, while the demon above laughed, drinking his blood and eating his flesh, utterly losing his dignity, even... losing the right to be human.
What are you yelling about?
“Tear it off and throw it in.”
"No, please, please."
"Walk on your knees...give it to me..."
The world spun around them, and the cold, like a bone-deep infection, clung to them, making their teeth chatter. The young man clenched his jaw so tightly that he didn't even feel his nails digging into his flesh, standing there stiffly, frozen in place.
Strange glances kept coming from the corridor. The young man's fan-like eyelashes, his slightly trembling body, and his beautiful face drew everyone's attention.
Some people looked on with amusement, while others were completely indifferent. Chuck, on the other side of the corridor, had a smile that grew increasingly eerie and intense.
Has another little bitch arrived?
Lin Xiu naturally didn't miss the commotion beside her. Ignoring Chuck's gaze, her cool eyes subtly shifted as she turned to Chaochao.
He was trembling, trembling so much he couldn't move, and his eyes were red, as if...
The next second, Lin Xiu tensed up, because Chao Chao turned to her with a blank stare, a thousand words unspoken, but the moment their eyes met, she averted them, her body instinctively jerking back, as startled as a wounded fawn, afraid that Lin Xiu would notice something...
Are you afraid she'll see?
[Sister Xiu, don't look!]
[Dirty, far away... Sister Xiu... dirty....]
Please, don't leave me, Yunxi, don't leave me.
【Should I send those people down to keep you company? To keep you company, please?】
In a daze, the eyes before my eyes overlapped with the figure in the rainy night. The tide rushed in, engulfing my mouth and nose, and the water made me feel as cold as a corpse.
Lin Xiu stared blankly at Chaochao, licked her dry lips, stiffly took Chaochao's hand, and leaned close to her ear, her eyes like whirlpools, as if she were murmuring to herself.
"What are you afraid of? Those who have humiliated you will all go to hell, not one of them will escape!"
The woman's cold voice seemed to be a whisper from hell, dragging people into the abyss, tearing them apart, so terrifying that people would tumble and crawl as far away as possible, yet it brought back Chaochao's soul.
The icy touches intertwined and bound tightly, like an inseparable whole, dragging his soul back to shore, pulling him along, leading him forward, and not letting go even as he fell into darkness.
With his beautiful eyes lowered, the young man stared at his two hands, revealing a sweet yet insane smile for a long time.
"Sister Xiu, hold my hand, I'm not afraid."
His voice was very soft, and his laughter was sweet, but the sweetness was so intense that it had a sinister quality.
Sethia had naturally heard about the inside story, and when she noticed Chuck's gaze, her heart skipped a beat. She didn't take it to heart, but now, looking at Lin Xiu's actions, she had a strange feeling, especially Yun Xi's response.
People who have been tamed shouldn't act like this.
Thinking it over, he quickly put on a smile: "Chuck, this is Miss Lin from Hai City, a director of Claire." He hurriedly introduced her, the situation was strange, and given Chuck's eyes, it was obvious what he was thinking.
He went upstairs shouting for Lin Xiu, which attracted Chuck. If the two of them got into a fight, he might end up taking his anger out on him. This year's jade business depends on the Xie family and Lin Xiu, so Chuck can't afford to offend them. He quickly introduced himself and explained his identity to clear his name and allow the two of them to "coexist peacefully".
Chuck is a vicious madman, not a fool.
He wouldn't offend a behemoth.
