Chapter 981: No Ability to Fight Back

Su Lin had originally decided to give up and leave, but when the front gate suddenly opened, he walked in without a second of hesitation and pressed the elevator button for Ao Shen Ruozhuo’s floor.

He found that the door of Shen Ruozhuo’s apartment was open.

Su Lin felt something was off. He gently pushed the door wider. The lights were on inside, but it was eerily quiet.

The atmosphere inside was too strange. Almost without thinking, Su Lin picked up a long-handled umbrella Shen Ruozhuo had left by the entryway—at least he could use it as a weapon later.

Umbrella in hand, Su Lin slowly walked in. After passing the entryway, the living room came into view, and there he saw Shen Ruozhuo in the living room, her whole body tied up with ropes.

When she saw that the person who had come was Su Lin, Shen Ruozhuo’s tears spilled down all at once. Him again! Why was it him again!

Both times she’d run into danger, it was He who showed up! She had drifted alone for so many years, always handling every problem by herself, but whenever she was in real danger, Su Lin appeared!

She shook her head desperately, trying to make him leave, and at the same time trying to warn him that Xi Siwei was here!

“Mm…” Shen Ruozhuo’s eyes flew wide open, emotions surging!

In that instant, Su Lin should have realized what was about to happen. Just as he turned his head, a heavy baseball bat came smashing down toward his neck, brutally slamming into that spot!

In a flash, Shen Ruozhuo saw Su Lin collapse to the ground, unable to move!

“Mm…” Shen Ruozhuo struggled, more worked up now than she had been at home during the day. At this point she was practically rubbing the skin off her arms.

Su Lin… Su Lin… wake up! Hurry and wake up! You can’t just pass out like this, you have to wake up!

Shen Ruozhuo repeated the words to Su Lin over and over in her heart.

But Su Lin couldn’t hear her.

Seeing how agitated Shen Ruozhuo was, Xi Siwei lifted his foot and kicked Su Lin a few times. “You feel sorry for him, huh?”

Watching Xi Siwei’s foot slam hard into Su Lin’s body, Shen Ruozhuo ached for him, but there was nothing she could do now!

The more he saw that look of heartache on Shen Ruozhuo’s face, the more bloodthirsty Xi Siwei became, kicking Su Lin again and again. Before long, Su Lin woke up—forced awake by the beating!

Just now Xi Siwei had smashed the back of his neck, and now he’d been kicked all over. His whole body hurt, and he didn’t have the strength to fight back at all!

Seeing Su Lin barely clinging to life, Xi Siwei gave him another vicious kick, then walked over to Shen Ruozhuo, loosened the ropes on her body, hoisted her up, and threw her onto the sofa!

Maybe the noise outside had been too loud, because Qin Rui Li came out of the bedroom. When she saw Su Lin lying on the floor, blood spilling from his mouth, Qin Rui Li was completely stunned.

“What are you looking at? Get back in there!” Xi Siwei roared at Qin Rui Li.

Qin Rui Li had long since lost any edge she once had. Hearing Xi Siwei, she immediately retreated back into the room, not daring to interfere in his business at all!
