It was as if he was rushing to the battlefield with a heavy heart. It was as if he saw the hope of victory right in front of his eyes. It was as if he knew that he would definitely succeed this time. Da Liang had an indescribable sense of confidence. However, he still underestimated Second Brother and Sire Nine. If they wanted to destroy someone, they would definitely do it to the end.

  There was no time to stop or to say it was over.

  “Da Liang, I’m scared……”


  Mao Nana’s voice was weak. The two of them standing in the confined space of the elevator were in extreme fear. They did not know if they could really see the future of the two of them like what Da Liang said.

  However, Mao Nana knew that no matter how hard she tried, she still could not see the faint hope. Even when she was surrounded by the tight space around her, she could not lift her hand. She could not see that hope and did not have the courage to reach out her hand.

  “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
……

  In the private room, Sire Nine and Second Brother were looking at the video on their phones. Mao Nana and Da Liang were standing inside and talking to each other. Every subtle movement was seen by Sire Nine and Second Brother. Perhaps they were too nervous and afraid, or perhaps they really did not have the courage to resist these people who were more capable than themselves.

  Mao Nana did not tell Da Liang that she was afraid again.

  The door of the private room was pushed open again. It was still dark inside. Da Liang, who was wearing a black suit, walked in front of Second Brother and Sire Nine. He lowered his head and bent down. “I don’t know if Second Brother and Sire Nine are having fun. If it’s not fun enough, I……”


  “Can you play with us for a while longer?”


  Second Brother took the cigar from the bodyguard beside him who was wearing a suit and sunglasses. Looking at the bright light in front of him, he seemed to have become even more handsome than before.

  “I…… can.”


  For the sake of Mao Nana’s future, for the sake of Mao Nana becoming an international supermodel, and for the sake of obtaining that 30 million USD worth of modeling funds, Da Liang decided to go all out.

  He had only one face. He could not use it to earn money, so he’d might as well do something useful. Anyway, he had lost all his face at that moment.

  There was nothing that Da Liang did not dare to do. As long as it was for Mao Nana’s future, Da Liang felt that he could really do it.

  “Alright, then let’s play a big one this time, shall we?”


  Second Brother stood up. The green dragon tattoo in front of him seemed to come alive. It seemed to be flying out from his chest and directly pushed Da Liang down.

  “Okay.”


  Da Liang gritted his teeth, lowered his head and agreed.

  Mao Nana sat on the sofa and watched as Da Liang was tied up by a few people. The thick cross still had the blood of the previous person on it. The gloomy room suddenly became like a dark hell. No one knew how to convince this man not to make such a huge sacrifice for such an invisible hope. No one dared to go up and plead with Sire Nine because all of this was agreed by him.

  It was said that there was a powerful person behind Second Brother. Mao Nana only saw him now. This powerful person was Sire Nine. Other than Sire Nine, no one else could make Second Brother feel alert the moment he appeared. No one could keep watching Second Brother doing whatever he wanted without saying anything.

  He neither agreed nor disagreed. He was like an indifferent spectator who saw through the most exciting things in one’s bones.

  “Slap.”


  The leather whip left a clear trail of blood on Da Liang’s body. It was a ghastly sight. The woman in the private room did not dare to look up at Da Liang. He seemed to be on his last breath as he was tied to the cross. However, when Second Brother cursed under his breath, Da Liang coughed again and said that he was fine and could still take it.

  The red blood was getting clearer and clearer. His black suit was in tatters and the white shirt he was wearing was dark red. Mao Nana only remembered the pain when she heard the whip being used on Da Liang’s body. She felt as if she was in so much pain that she wanted to die. She could not understand what was going on. She did not understand why Second Brother and Sire Nine’s hobbies were so strange.

  The leather whip landed on Da Liang’s body, hurting Mao Nana’s heart.

  Her most important business partner and her best friend had brought her all the way from the orphanage to where she was today. Now, in order to help her become an international supermodel, he was going to lose his life in this private room.

  Mao Nana closed her eyes. She could not go forward to help Da Liang bear the pain, nor could she sacrifice herself to give Second Brother what he wanted.

  There was never a lack of darkness in this field. Men in black suits were scarier than the devils in the darkness.

  “Second Brother, you’ve had enough, it’s time for you to stop. If you really killed someone, if the police find you, you won’t be able to get away with it. This young man is so fair and tender, yet he was beaten to such a state by you. You should’ve already vent your anger, right?”


  Sire Nine leaned on the sofa and looked at Da Liang from the corner of his eye. From the corner of his eye, he saw Mao Nana sitting on the sofa at the door with her head lowered. She did not dare to say much and did not dare to walk up to Da Liang either. This girl seemed to have the temperament of a cat.

  It was both laughable and pathetic.

  “Boss, you shouldn’t have said that. I just wanted to let you have your fill. However, I have to say that this kid’s skin is really thick and solid. It’s rare for me to have such a good time.”


  Second Brother was drenched in sweat. His white vest was soaked with sweat and his chest muscles were rippling with sexiness. He looked like he was trying his best, but Da Liang, who was tied to the cross, was on his last breath.

  “Woman, this brat won’t die so soon. If you continue crying, you’ll really have to collect his corpse.”


  Second Brother looked at Mao Nana. She was sitting in the darkness, wearing a black knitted dress, but her skin was especially fair. In this dark room, she seemed even more dazzling. It was enough for her to continue protecting Da Liang like this.

  “I……”


  Mao Nana wiped the tears off her face. Yes, Da Liang was not dead yet, but the scene was just too pitiful and worrying. If she continued to cry like this, Da Liang might really die.

  “What’s this woman’s name?”


  Sire Nine looked at Mao Nana with curiosity.
