“Why did you block me? Are you jealous? Was it necessary? Just because I slept with other women doesn’t mean I’ll move on from you. After all, you are the most compatible bedmate I’ve ever had,” Guan Bo’s eyes bore a flirtatious yet menacing gaze as he looked at Zhao Yuan.

Zhao Yuan’s heart skipped a beat. She admitted that she enjoyed sleeping with Guan Bo, which was why after their unexpected one-night stand, she willingly played with Guan Bo a few more times.

Meeting Guan Bo at the bar that day was purely accidental, but Zhao Yuan did not expect to feel so uncomfortable when she saw Guan Bo being intimate with other girls.

Although she knew all along that Guan Bo was a player, seeing it with her own eyes made a difference. Hence, Zhao Yuan decided to block Guan Bo straightaway, putting an end to the absurdity of a brief period in her life.

Zhao Yuan did not know why the topic shifted to this, she looked up at Guan

Bo, and the concern she had for him earlier vanished. She sarcastically said,

“Because I think you’re too filthy, I don’t want you anymore.”

Guan Bo’s eyes smoldered with rage. Like a lion instantly provoked, he snapped, “You think I’m filthy? So, you blocked me and told Guan Lei that I wanted to kill him to seek revenge on me. You want me dead, is that right?”

If it were not for Guan Lei’s soft-heartedness, his life would have been lost had it been other members of the Guan family.

Zhao Yuan lowered her head with a hint of guilt. She did not expect it to be this serious, and she had not decided whether to tell Xi and the others. It was an accidental leak.

Zhao Yuan could not help but think, if Xi had not overheard, would she have voluntarily revealed it? Maybe she would.

Xi adored Guan Lei. If something happened to Guan Lei, Xi would be devastated. Besides, Guan Lei was also her classmate, she could not just stand by and let Guan Bo continue to harm Guan Lei in the dark.

Zhao Yuan spoke honestly, “I didn’t want you dead, I just wanted to warn Guan

Lei to be careful around you. Guan Lei is the person my best friend likes.”

“Just because your best friend likes him, you disregarded my life?” Guan Bo forcefully gripped Zhao Yuan’s chin and questioned through gritted teeth.

Zhao Yuan felt pain from the grip and grabbed Guan Bo’s hand, struggling, “Guan Bo, let me tell you, you better let me go. My best friend is from the Shen family in Beijing, and she’s downstairs. If you dare to do anything to me, she won’t let you off.”

Zhao Yuan stared with wide eyes, trying to intimidate Guan Bo with Shen Xi.

Guan Bo snorted coldly, then snatched Zhao Yuan’s phone and used her fingerprint to unlock it. He sent a message to Shen Xi, saying that Zhao Yuan would stay with him for a few days here and asked Shen Xi to go back first.

Shen Xi did not suspect anything and did not want to probe further to avoid hurting Zhao Yuan’s feelings, so she simply replied with a single word, “Alright! ”

Guan Bo held up the chat interface in front of Zhao Yuan, relishing in the look of panic on her face.

Then, Guan Bo threw the phone aside and menacingly approached Zhao Yuan. Zhao Yuan kept retreating until she was caught by Guan Bo.

“Betraying me comes with a price,” Guan Bo narrowed his eyes slightly, exuding a dangerous aura. He then forcefully pulled Zhao Yuan and headed towards a dimly lit room.

It was not until Guan Bo turned on the light that Zhao Yuan could see the layout of the room clearly. She trembled at the sight of the chilling instruments inside. It was unmistakably a torture chamber.

As Guan Bo closed the door behind him, Zhao Yuan’s heart nearly stopped beating out of fear.

Guan Bo removed the cloth from Zhao Yuan’s mouth and smiled sinisterly, “Now you can scream. The soundproofing here is excellent. Even if you scream until you’re hoarse, no one will hear.”

“Guan Bo, let me go! Release me! I want to go back! Let me go…” Zhao Yuan screamed, trying to rush toward the door.

Guan Bo sneered at Zhao Yuan’s futile attempt, then grabbed her by the hair and tied her to a crucifix.

Finally, Zhao Yuan begged for mercy. But Guan Bo only toyed with the whip in his hand, smirking, “It’s too late. I will show you the consequences of your betrayal. ”

Zhao Yuan yelled loudly, “We were just friends with benefits. There was no relationship after we got out of bed.. Where is the betrayal? I didn’t betray you!

Let me go!”
