Chapter 211: The Last Unlucky One Can Only Be You

Jiang Muye spoke the harshest words and did the harshest things.

That one phone seemed to foreshadow Yu Xi's ending, shattered into pieces.

How could Yu Xi possibly fail to hear the warning in Jiang Muye's words? His thin lips pressed tightly together, so tight that his teeth even drew blood.

He glared at Jiang Muye unwillingly. "So what if you destroyed the phone? Are you sure I don't have a backup? At worst, we both go down together."

"A fine 'both go down together.' Hahaha, you're a bit too naive." Jiang Muye stepped forward and lifted Yu Xi's face. Looking at Yu Xi's stubborn expression, he didn't even blink before ruthlessly slapping Yu Xi across the face.

The crisp slap landed, and a large patch of Yu Xi's face turned red. He let out a pained groan, and even his lips became red and swollen.

Yu Xi stared at Jiang Muye with even greater resentment.

And Jiang Muye said lightly, "Do that, and the only one who dies is you. I won't be hurt in the slightest."

Jiang Muye looked at Yu Xi coldly. "First of all, secretly filming is illegal. Not to mention you violated our right to privacy. Spreading it online is the crime of disseminating obscene material. Stack those charges together, and it's enough to keep you in prison for the rest of your life."

Jiang Muye's few airy words carried an extremely deep threat.

Yu Xi's expression turned ashen. He gritted his teeth. "Even so, if those things spread on the internet, your reputation will suffer too."

"Pfft, hahahaha, you really are too naive." As soon as the words left Jiang Muye's mouth, he viciously kicked Yu Xi.

Yu Xi let out a muffled grunt and curled up even tighter.

"I'm not the man I used to be. You think the Chen Group behind me will just stand by and watch? Besides, my girlfriend is the heiress of the Leng Corporation. You think that after you bullied Ruoli, Chairman Leng will let you off?"

Jiang Muye's eyes were icy. "And what's more, the moment you hit send, it'll get stuck at the review stage. No one's going to risk anything to output that video for you. The only one who ends up unlucky is you."

The corner of Jiang Muye's mouth curled with amusement. Watching Yu Xi's flustered, cramped expression, he felt he had the other man completely under control, and it was exceptionally satisfying.

"You're not so stupid as to make this many enemies for yourself and spend your whole life eating prison food, are you? Hah, but if you want to spend New Year's partying in a prison cell, I can arrange that for you."

Jiang Muye's gaze was cold to the extreme.

From the moment Yu Xi secretly filmed that little video of him and Leng Ruoli, Jiang Muye had wanted to chop Yu Xi into pieces.

"I'll call the police right now and send you on your way."

Just as Jiang Muye was about to pick up his phone, Yu Xi in front of him suddenly burst out laughing with a wheeze. "Hahahaha, too funny."

Jiang Muye watched Yu Xi laugh coldly.

He simply assumed Yu Xi had been dealt a huge blow and his emotions had collapsed.

Yu Xi looked at Jiang Muye with bloodshot eyes, smug. "You didn't really think I actually filmed something, did you?"

Jiang Muye's brows knitted tightly, slightly surprised.

"I just saw you two come out with your clothes all disheveled. Of course, I don't have a habit of secretly filming. I was just teasing you. I never imagined you'd be so naive as to believe it."

Yu Xi raised an eyebrow. "So the future heir of the Chen Group is this starved for anything, with a hobby for open-field battles with the Leng Corporation's heiress? I just wonder which part of the school became your spot for thrill-seeking."

Faced with Yu Xi's provocation, Jiang Muye burned with rage. He grabbed Yu Xi by the collar and snarled, "You bastard!"

"You can hit me even harder. I can take it. But I just don't know whether you can." Yu Xi's gaze was wicked.

He continued, "I can go to the hospital and get my injuries examined, then have the police arrest you directly. The heir of the Chen Group committing deliberate assault, attempted murder—hahaha, I bet tonight's headlines will be quite spectacular."

Jiang Muye's pupils contracted.

His fury surged, and he desperately pounded Yu Xi's face.

Yu Xi was soon bruised and swollen. He gasped sharply from the pain, but as he took each of Jiang Muye's punches, he smiled without any warmth in his eyes, and it made one's blood run cold.

"You think I'm afraid of your threats? For me to reach this height, quite a few people have been rushing to clean up after me!" Jiang Muye grabbed Yu Xi by the neck viciously.

"Transfer schools within a week, or I won't let you off easily!" Jiang Muye barked, then violently slammed Yu Xi against the wall.

Jiang Muye tugged at his own collar. When he saw the bloodstains left on the back of his hand, he wiped them clean with a tissue in disgust.

Watching Jiang Muye's departing figure, Yu Xi lightly brushed his fingers across his lips, then burst out laughing with a wheeze.

"You sure you've won? This time, you're bound to lose." A cold smile filled Yu Xi's eyes.

After Leng Ruoli came down from the girls' dormitory, she suddenly saw a weary figure appear.

He was hunched over, his handsome face clearly marked with injuries, the corner of his mouth red and swollen with bloodstains, yet it didn't diminish his good looks. Beyond a hint of bleakness, it added a hint of untamed wildness.

When Leng Ruoli saw him, she was greatly shocked.

She immediately ran over, agitated. "What happened to you? Muye! Who hit you!"

Whoever bullied her boyfriend, she would make an enemy of.

"I'm not hurting. It's fine." That pair of phoenix eyes curved gently, and the moment his clear voice fell, it instantly brought Leng Ruoli back to her senses.

She suddenly realized that the person standing before her was not her boyfriend.

"Yu Xi?" Leng Ruoli was slightly surprised, then her attitude turned cold.

Just as she instinctively moved to leave, Yu Xi's voice rang out.

"Didn't you want to know who hit me? Then I can tell you who did it."

Leng Ruoli's brows knitted tightly. Meeting Yu Xi's deep, affectionate gaze, she seemed to guess something, and asked hesitantly, "You're not going to say my boyfriend beat you up like this, are you?"

"Yes." Yu Xi took a deep breath and feigned a pitiful look. "I know I shouldn't like you, but I can't control myself. After all, liking someone just happens naturally. But I never imagined Jiang Muye was such a vicious person that he'd actually lay hands on me."

"Does it hurt?" Leng Ruoli asked.

"It hurts. It hurts a lot." Yu Xi's eyes were somewhat wet, and he forced out a smile. "But seeing you, I feel it doesn't hurt anymore."

"Good. As long as it hurts." Leng Ruoli nodded and said coldly, "Now that you know it hurts, don't come pestering me again in the future."

Leng Ruoli's attitude greatly shocked Yu Xi.

At a time like this, shouldn't she be sympathetic or heartache?

Why was Leng Ruoli's attitude so cold and distant now?

"Jiang Muye did this. I haven't called the police yet. As long as you come with me to the hospital, I can let bygones be bygones." A meaningful smile rose at the corner of Yu Xi's mouth.

He was confident. Leng Ruoli couldn't possibly stand by and do nothing about Jiang Muye.

As long as he controlled Leng Ruoli, it was equivalent to controlling Jiang Muye, and then his plan could succeed as he wished.

However, everything exceeded Yu Xi's expectations. Leng Ruoli's next move caught him completely off guard.
