Chapter 1394 Yunrui's Sincere Devotion: Willing Even Without a Title
Under the moonlight, one could see Shen Chengyu's taut jawline, and the veins on his forehead bulged slightly from suppressed anger.
He lowered his head and kissed the girl's lips. The kiss was intensely aggressive; he bit her lower lip hard with his teeth until he tasted blood.
Tears welled up in the girl's eyes instantly, sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto the back of Shen Chengyu's hand. The icy touch did not soften him in the slightest.
The room was filled only with suppressed breathing, the rustling of clothes, and the occasional soft sobs of a girl.
Shen Chengyu's actions became increasingly violent. He pressed the girl against the cold wall, his hands tightly gripping her waist. Every movement was filled with the urge to vent his anger—he was venting all his dissatisfaction with Gu Yunxi and his frustration at losing control onto this girl.
The girl's body swayed precariously under his control. She could clearly feel his anger and coldness, and his impatience and brutality in his movements.
But she still reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her cheek against his chest, trying to gain a shred of pity with this ingratiating gesture. Her fingers gently stroked his back, the movements tender and tentative, like a kitten trying to soothe its furious owner.
But Shen Chengyu remained unmoved. His eyes were still cold, and his movements were still rough, as if the person in his arms was not a woman with warmth, but a tool to vent his emotions at will.
He enjoyed the feeling of absolute control, and the helpless yet dependent look on the girl in his arms, which made him temporarily forget the frustration brought by Gu Yunxi.
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Chengyu finally stopped what he was doing.
He let go, and the girl slid down the wall to the ground like a powerless puppet. Her clothes were scattered messily on her body, her hair was plastered to her cheeks, her lips were swollen, and her eyes were still filled with tears. She looked disheveled and pitiful.
She looked up at Shen Chengyu, a hint of expectation in her eyes, hoping he would, as he sometimes did, lend her a hand or say a gentle word. But Shen Chengyu merely straightened his clothes, his gaze sweeping over her coldly, devoid of any warmth.
"Get out." His voice was as flat as if he were talking about something insignificant, without the slightest bit of pity.
The girl's body stiffened abruptly, and the expectation in her eyes instantly turned into disappointment, followed by a deep sense of desolation.
She bit her lip, forcing back her tears, slowly stood up, straightened her disheveled clothes, lowered her head, and silently walked towards the door.
Her steps were light, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor. Reaching the door, she hesitated, glancing back at Shen Chengyu, only to see him with his back to her, hands in his pockets, gazing at the night outside the window, as if nothing had happened...
Qi Ruixiang and Tai Ge were crouching in the shadows of the alleyway diagonally opposite Shen Chengyu's room, using the stacked wooden crates to conceal their figures. They had just figured out the shift change pattern of the laboratory's night guards and were planning to take advantage of the darkness to find out the exact corner where Gu Yunxi was being held, but they did not expect to stumble upon this scene.
First, there was a soft "click" from the door, followed by a slender figure staggering out.
The moonlight outlined the girl's disheveled figure. Her clothes were askew, the neckline was slipped open, revealing red marks of varying shades on her exposed neck. Her hair was messy and stuck to her cheeks. Her steps were unsteady, as if she were walking on cotton, with each step accompanied by an imperceptible tremor, as if she were about to collapse at any moment.
"Tsk, that fighting power is really something." Tai clicked his tongue, his voice was very low, and his eyes were full of knowing fear. "That son of a bitch Shen Chengyu, he always torments people like this when he's venting his anger. He's really inhuman."
Qi Ruixiang's gaze was fixed on the girl, his brows furrowed. The girl's pale profile gleamed almost transparently in the moonlight, and there seemed to be traces of tears still clinging to the corners of her mouth. After taking a few steps, her body swayed suddenly, and she instinctively grabbed the wall to steady herself.
Its fragile appearance resembled a flower ravaged by a storm...
"This woman is also a pitiful person."
Seeing that Qi Ruixiang's expression was off, Tai Ge lowered his voice and added, his tone tinged with a hint of regret.
"Do you know who she is? Her brother used to do what Gu Yunxi is doing now. He's a chemistry genius too. Shen Chengyu kidnapped him to perfect some crappy project. But then the project went wrong, and whether her brother tried to escape or really messed it up, Shen Chengyu just threw him to the dogs!"
Qi Ruixiang's heart sank, and his surprise deepened.
"This girl is so infatuated she's practically blind," Tai Ge said, his voice laced with a dramatic flair as he subtly pointed to Shen Chengyu's door. "After her brother died, Shen Chengyu originally intended to kill her to silence her, but for some reason, she knelt down and begged Shen Chengyu to spare her life, saying she was willing to be his slave as long as she could stay by his side. Isn't that strange?"
He paused, his tone becoming even more mysterious, as if he were recounting some earth-shattering secret: "Shen Chengyu is a ruthless character. He agreed without any formal status, basically treating her like a plaything for his venting. During the day, he made her do odd jobs in the lab, and at night, whenever he felt like it, he'd call her to his room and do whatever he wanted. Sometimes, after he was done, he'd throw her some money, and sometimes he wouldn't even say a word before kicking her out. This girl is really good at enduring it, just following him around without any status, and sometimes she'd even try to please Shen Chengyu. It's really incomprehensible."
Tai Ge's words were like a key, instantly unlocking Qi Ruixiang's imagination.
The girl's disheveled clothes, the red marks on her neck, her staggering steps, and the suppressed tears, coupled with Tai Ge's recounting of her tragic past, conjured up a series of unbearable images in his mind—perhaps she wanted revenge for her brother, perhaps she was truly bewitched by some quality in Shen Chengyu, or perhaps she was simply driven to desperation and had no other choice but to live in such a humiliating way. Whatever the possibility, a strong sense of pity welled up within him.
The girl's hands, which were gripping the wall, began to tremble violently, and her body swayed more and more violently;
You could faintly hear her suppressed, rapid breathing, like a fish out of air.
The surrounding air seemed to grow heavy, carrying a suffocating oppression, and even the footsteps of the guards in the distance sounded particularly jarring.
"Oh no!" Qi Ruixiang shouted. Before Tai Ge could react, he saw the girl's body go limp and fall straight to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut.
Almost instinctively, Qi Ruixiang darted out of the shadows, moving as fast as the wind.
Tai was terrified and instinctively tried to grab him, but only managed to grab a piece of clothing. He watched helplessly as Qi Ruixiang rushed to the girl's side and, just a second before she hit the ground, caught her firmly in his arms.
"Are you crazy?!" Brother Tai hurriedly chased after him, his voice low and hissing, his heart pounding in his chest. "Qi Ruixiang! What do you think you're doing? We're here to deliver goods, not to meddle! Put him down right now and let's go!"
Qi Ruixiang held the girl in his arms, feeling as light as a feather. Her body was burning hot, her breathing weak, and her face frighteningly pale. He didn't put her down; instead, he held her even tighter, looking at Tai Ge with unwavering determination, and said righteously, "Of course we have to save her! Can't you see she's about to die? Are we just going to watch her die here?"
