This situation was something Huang He had seen too often.
He was rich, incredibly rich.
But he rarely used money to conquer women; that was too low-level.
Human nature leaned towards self-interest. No matter the woman, if the temptation offered was great enough, she could be obtained.
Don't talk about chaste and virtuous women; it was merely because what they valued in their hearts was less than the temptation before them.
Human nature could never withstand a test.
Therefore, for him, there was no challenge.
He preferred to break human nature with human nature.
Having thoroughly investigated Li Chonglou's background, how could he not investigate Jiang Yuxin?
"That's right, he's using you, deceiving you..." Huang He's voice was like a nightmare, repeatedly reminding Jiang Yuxin, making the anger in her eyes grow more intense.
Lian Zijian sat on the side, watching this scene with a sense of dread.
Young Master Huang's habit of toying with human nature was truly ingrained.
Other wealthy idlers sought beauty, sought bodies.
He, however, wanted to control souls, to send people to hell.
Jiang Yuxin's expression visibly grew angrier, her beautiful eyes bloodshot.
Her teeth were clenched tightly, as if she harbored an irreconcilable hatred.
"Enough!"
Suddenly, her anger reached its peak and exploded. Jiang Yuxin let out a sharp cry, "Huang, who do you think you are?"
"Do you think you're worthy of sowing discord in our marital relationship?"
"Look at your face, you look like a toad. No matter who you are or why you kidnapped me and my mother-in-law, my husband will find me soon!"
"Remember, this world is never as sordid and dirty as you imagine!"
These four sentences contained astonishing power.
They instantly shattered the confusion in her eyes and left Huang He dumbfounded.
So, Jiang Yuxin's target of anger was not Li Chonglou, but him, Huang He.
This...
How was this possible?
Only those with extremely firm wills, who understood why they lived, why they were born, and why they died, could discard the deep-seated flaws in human nature and resist his brainwashing.
But this woman was just an ordinary person from an insignificant family in the countryside.
She had no experience in psychology throughout her life; how did she manage this?
His attempt to control her failed, and instead, he was berated. This created a huge flaw in Huang He's lifelong pride and arrogance.
This flaw was enough to completely swallow the sense of superiority he had cultivated over the years.
It made him panicked, made him doubt himself.
Now, the situation had reversed; he was the one feeling uncomfortable, even distressed.
Seeing his face contorted and twisted, Jiang Yuxin watched with a cold eye.
How could Huang He know that she had lacked paternal and maternal love since childhood and was always ostracized by the Jiang family?
Her heart had long been frozen until she met Li Chonglou.
It was he who made her experience what it was like to be above others, who willingly allowed her to control him for three years.
And then, step by step, he displayed his incomprehensible strength, fulfilling her childhood dreams.
Although the Jiang family was now bankrupt, it was not Li Chonglou's fault.
Everyone had their secrets, and she had hers.
She did not want Li Chonglou to expose the last secret place in her heart, nor would she force Li Chonglou to act according to her wishes.
What was deceit?
Deceit was for harming others; for self-preservation, what deceit was there?
What was exploitation!
Having value allowed for mutual benefit; this was the basic bottom line and principle of a businessman.
Why would a businessman fear being exploited?
Compared to Li Chonglou, this Huang He was utterly useless, apart from his attempts at instigation and his arrogant demeanor.
At this moment, a glint of crystal appeared in Jiang Yuxin's beautiful eyes, and a warmth spread through her heart as Li Chonglou's image surfaced in her mind.
She realized that after so many years, she had never truly looked at her husband properly.
It was only when this incident occurred that she could calm down and appreciate their time together.
Jiang Yuxin's thoughts swirled as Huang He painfully clutched his head and cried out.
"Young Master Huang... are you alright?" Lian Zijian quickly stepped forward, wanting to curry favor.
Bang!
Huang He kicked him with his leg, sending him flying onto the sofa.
His face was filled with terror.
But he dared not even make a sound.
"Heaven's calamities can be forgiven, but self-inflicted ones cannot be survived!" Jiang Yuxin watched all this with a cold gaze, feeling no pity.
People like Huang He, who controlled others' lives and souls, were destined for suffering; they brought it upon themselves.
"Bitch, I spoke to you nicely, and you dare to be ungrateful. Do you think I only rely on my words?" Huang He's eyes were bloodshot, his demeanor crazed. He pointed at Jiang Yuxin and shouted, "I was smart since childhood, a genius among ten thousand."
"I'm a celebrity in the inner circle!"
"I can easily know what others are thinking, cater to their desires, and control them."
"I have plenty of money, and money can make all the women in this country willingly kneel at my feet!"
"What are you, a slut."
"How dare you oppose me!"
Enraged was not enough to describe Huang He's state at this moment.
Jiang Yuxin's lack of control over her infuriated him to the point of madness, making him feel that everything was slipping away from his grasp.
Normal people could never understand this feeling.
Only geniuses, true geniuses, destined from birth to be superior beings, would experience such pain.
This woman, Jiang Yuxin, had triggered his pain.
In return, he would make this woman wish she were dead.
Huang He stood up, his eyes red, and walked step by step towards Jiang Yuxin.
"You lunatic, what are you going to do?" Jiang Yuxin couldn't help but feel nervous upon seeing this.
After all, she was a woman without any strength.
In terms of both power and presence, she was far inferior to a madman like Huang He.
"Since you're unwilling to be controlled by me, I'll let you know what it means for the body to be honest." Huang He showed no signs of stopping, the madness on his face gradually turning into a lewd smile. "I'm a cultured nobleman; I didn't want to force myself on a woman like you."
"Unfortunately, you're too tactless."
"In this villa in the wilderness, with no network access, do you think you can escape my grasp?"
"Pathetic!"
"I will thoroughly enjoy your body, and then I will share you with Lian Zijian and his subordinates."
"I will watch your useless live-in son-in-law personally trample you underfoot like a slut."
The ferocity in Huang He's eyes was palpable, his tone chilling.
Even Lian Zijian, who had been through the filth of the business world and seen all sorts of depravity, felt his scalp tingle.
Let alone Jiang Yuxin.
Her pretty face had turned ashen.
With the men in sunglasses blocking the entrance, how could she escape this frenzied pervert, Huang He?
Even if she escaped, what about her mother-in-law?
No, she had no right to escape.
Since that was the case, she would fight. An unyielding determination arose in Jiang Yuxin's beautiful eyes.
No longer retreating, she clenched her fists and, with all her might, punched towards Huang He's contorted face.
"Beast, I'll beat you to death!"
Slap!
Her fist was easily caught by Huang He.
As a genius, how could he not have learned martial arts?
Having achieved a tenth-degree black belt in karate at the age of twelve, even two or three strong men couldn't get close to him.
Let alone a frail woman like Jiang Yuxin.
Before Jiang Yuxin could show any sign of fear, Huang He yanked her, causing her to lose her balance and fall into his embrace with a scream.
With his other hand, he unhesitatingly reached out to caress Jiang Yuxin's pretty face.
"I've seen countless women, and you are quite a beauty. Conquering an ice-cold beauty like you must be incredibly exhilarating." Huang He's perverted, twisted smile was disgusting.
Jiang Yuxin struggled desperately but couldn't move at all.
His large hands held her like iron pincers.
The pain pierced to the bone.
Ptooey!
With no other option, she spat fiercely onto Huang He's face.
"Bitch, you dare spit on me?" Huang He was stunned.
Since childhood, he had never endured so much humiliation as he had today.
This woman, Jiang Yuxin, had completely shattered his understanding of women built over decades.
A tremendous rage surged through his head, and his lust, mixed with blood, rushed upwards.
The last shred of his dignity vanished.
Slap!
He ferociously slapped Jiang Yuxin across the face, sending her rolling onto the ground.
Immediately, red claw marks appeared on her fair face.
Blood seeped from the corner of Jiang Yuxin's mouth, but there was no trace of pain on her face; instead, she smiled and pushed herself up.
Compared to being controlled by Huang He's vile claws, being slapped was nothing.
"I won't just spit on you; I'll kill you." Jiang Yuxin stood up again, her gaze unyielding.
Having grown up with her grandparents and been bullied by Jiang Tao, only her grandmother protected her.
Therefore, she was stubborn and receptive to kindness but not to coercion.
What was Huang He?
No matter how rich or powerful, she only knew that dignity was more important than life.
She would never betray Li Chonglou, not even in death!
Huang He's wish to defile her was a pipe dream!
She was prepared to bite her tongue and commit suicide at any moment.
Li Chonglou had endured three years of hardship and humiliation; today, she would repay him for all the suffering he had endured.
Once your wife, forever your heart remains true.
"A chaste and virtuous woman, I never expected to actually see a legendary chaste and virtuous woman. Excellent." Huang He laughed in anger, his eyes gleaming with lust, clapping his hands. "This is much more interesting."
"I've dreamt of turning a chaste and virtuous woman like you into a promiscuous slut available to anyone."
"Come on, kill me with your body, let me see how seductive you can be!"
With his mouth spewing obscenities, Huang He had completely revealed his inner madness and perversion.
He paid no mind to Lian Zijian or the men in sunglasses being present.
Licking his lips, he lunged at Jiang Yuxin.
"Farewell, Chonglou... I'll repay this life's debt in the next." Facing the crazed Huang He, Jiang Yuxin's face showed a defiant smile of resignation, her thoughts a silent prayer.
Gathering all her strength, she prepared to bite her tongue.
Dong!
Just then, hidden by the sound of rain, a Red Flag car with no lights on suddenly roared and smashed through the villa's main iron gate.
With unstoppable force, it slammed the man in sunglasses standing at the entrance into the hall.
With a thud, he fell beside Huang He.
The gate was now firmly blocked by the car's front end.
The next second, a slender yet steady figure like Mount Tai kicked open the windshield and appeared before Jiang Yuxin.
"Li Chonglou!"
Almost simultaneously, both Jiang Yuxin and Huang He exclaimed a name.
But their tones and emotions were worlds apart.
