The Tian Quan Hotel.
In the spacious luxury suite, only Ling Shaofeng and Bai Ruoyi were present.
Gazing at the pitiful Bai Ruoyi, Ling Shaofeng's eyes were filled with lechery as he eagerly pounced, "Little beauty, here I come!"
"Young Master Ling!"
Bai Ruoyi quickly retreated a few steps and whispered, "The matter you promised me..."
She knew very well what kind of person Ling Shaofeng was.
But now...
She had no other options.
With the Zheng family's power in Suhang City, she had no chance of retrieving her mother's remains from their hands!
And the Ling Shaofeng before her was the young master of the Ling family.
If he were willing to intervene, there might be a sliver of hope, which was the only chance she could find.
"Little beauty, you might not understand your predicament."
Ling Shaofeng chuckled sinisterly, "In this vast Suhang City, besides me, no one can retrieve your mother's remains from the Zheng family."
"So, if you serve me well!!!"
"As long as you satisfy me comfortably, retrieving your mother's remains will be a trivial matter."
"But if I'm not comfortable, you'll never get them back in this lifetime!" Saying this, Ling Shaofeng lunged at Bai Ruoyi again.
"Young Master Ling, you... you're going back on your word?"
Bai Ruoyi hastily dodged Ling Shaofeng's predatory grasp, looking at him in disbelief, "You clearly promised to help me get my mother's remains back!"
Dodged twice, Ling Shaofeng became somewhat annoyed.
He looked at Bai Ruoyi with a playful sneer and coldly said, "Miss Bai, aren't you a bit too naively laughable?"
"With your attitude, how am I supposed to help you?"
Bai Ruoyi froze, her expression shifting rapidly.
Before coming to the Tian Quan Hotel, she had already considered the worst possible outcome – being violated by Ling Shaofeng!
But her worry was that even if she gave herself to Ling Shaofeng, he still might not help her retrieve her mother's remains.
Seeing Bai Ruoyi caught in hesitation, Ling Shaofeng said mockingly, "How pathetic! How lamentable!"
"Your mother's corpse is in the hands of your enemies, suffering insults daily, and as a child, you're unwilling to do anything."
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
"What a filial child to your mother~"
He deliberately drew out his voice and kept glancing at Bai Ruoyi from the corner of his eye.
As expected.
Bai Ruoyi's face instantly turned extremely ugly.
Ling Shaofeng alternated between temptation and threat, "Miss Bai, you should think carefully. In the entire Suhang City, who else can help you?"
"If you miss this opportunity, next time, even if you beg me on your bed, I won't help you!"
Ling Shaofeng was naturally trying to scare Bai Ruoyi.
He had no intention of helping Bai Ruoyi with anything; he just wanted to play with her, how could he let such an easy catch slip away?
As for after he was done playing...
What could a girl from a fallen Bai family do to him?
Bai Ruoyi fell into a painful struggle.
She was just a weak woman.
The declining Bai family, her crippled father, her missing brother, her mother who had died years ago...
All she could do was her utmost to retrieve her mother's remains.
And now...
Everything was in the hands of the Ling Shaofeng before her.
Bai Ruoyi loathed Ling Shaofeng from the bottom of her heart.
But as he said, this was her only possible chance to bury her mother. If she missed it, her mother's remains might never be retrieved, let alone laid to rest!
As a child, her conscience would not be at peace!
Seeing Ling Shaofeng's lecherous hand reaching out again, Bai Ruoyi closed her eyes in despair.
Forget it.
May heaven have mercy and no longer toy with me!
Father, brother, mother...
Ruoyi is so tired!
This time, for her mother, she must resign herself to fate!
Even if the rest of her life was spent in regret, it would still be better than her mother's remains being scattered and lost, right?
Despair.
Helplessness.
Sorrow.
Bai Ruoyi's heart felt as if it had died at that moment.
Seeing Bai Ruoyi's expression, Ling Shaofeng knew she had implicitly agreed to his intentions and immediately pounced greedily.
"Bang!"
"Crack!"
At this moment, the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window let out a dull thud, and then shattered into pieces.
A figure, like a sky-piercing sword, charged in with icy killing intent.
It was Bai Zihe!!!
The next second.
Ling Shaofeng let out a scream and was sent flying.
He was like a ball, crashing heavily against the wall of the room, falling down along with the television set on the wall.
Bai Ruoyi rubbed her eyes vigorously, staring intently at the person before her.
The next moment, tears uncontrollably streamed down her face...
Brother!!!
This man who had suddenly burst in was her brother who had been missing for four years!!!
Bai Zihe turned to look at the tearful Bai Ruoyi, his heart churning like a thousand waves. His hoarse voice slowly sounded, "Ruoyi, brother is late!"
Seeing Bai Zihe at her darkest and most desperate moment, Bai Ruoyi's first instinct was to rush forward and hug her brother tightly, "Brother..."
"Where have you been for these four years?"
"Do you know how much I've thought about you every day and every night for these four years!"
"Brother, I miss you so much."
"Sob sob sob..."
At this moment, Bai Ruoyi was crying like a child.
Four years!
A full four years!
Not a single day passed without Bai Ruoyi worrying and missing him.
Bai Zihe felt the same.
And now, brother and sister were finally reunited.
How could they vent their emotions?
Only through embrace!
The siblings held each other tightly.
As they stood in a silent understanding, Ling Shaofeng, who had been kicked away by Bai Zihe, recovered and glared venomally at Bai Zihe, "You... are you Bai Zihe from the Bai family back then?"
"No good!"
Hearing Ling Shaofeng's voice, Bai Ruoyi remembered the purpose of her visit and quickly pushed Bai Zihe away, "Brother, the person you just hit is Ling Shaofeng, the young master of the Ling family!"
"With his vindictive nature, he will surely hold a grudge against you. But I still want to borrow his help to retrieve my mother's remains. We cannot offend him..."
"You should leave here quickly, I'll handle this!"
Bai Ruoyi's words made Bai Zihe feel both pained and angry.
He gently tapped her delicate nose and said softly, "This Ling Shaofeng is not a good person, he won't help you. Don't do such foolish things again."
"But..."
Hearing this, Bai Ruoyi's eyes darkened.
Did she not know that?
However, her mother's remains were still in the Zheng family's hands.
She had no choice!!!
Bai Zihe interrupted her and said, "Silly girl, I have already retrieved Mom's remains. You can rest assured!"
"Brother, don't lie to me..." Bai Ruoyi's voice carried a hint of bitterness.
"Silly girl, don't you even believe your brother?"
Bai Zihe explained, "Not only did I get Mom's remains back, but I also had someone build a mausoleum on West Mountain. In ten days, it will be the day of the inauguration."
"Silly girl, brother would never lie to you."
Bai Zihe reached out to Bai Ruoyi and said earnestly, "Come home with me!"
A sense of inexplicable security surged in Bai Ruoyi's heart. She reached out, clasped her brother's hand, and nodded choked with emotion, "Okay! I'll go home with you..."
"Go home?"
Ling Shaofeng had somehow gotten back on his feet. "Do you think you can walk out of this door?"
Seeing the duck about to fly away after being so close...
Ling Shaofeng was naturally unwilling.
Moreover.
Bai Zihe had just assaulted him. With his notoriously vengeful nature, he would never let Bai Zihe off!
Ling Shaofeng, his face full of rage, blocked their path, "Bai Ruoyi, if you dare to walk out of this door today, I guarantee your Bai family will be completely annihilated..."
"Bang!!!"
Before he could finish speaking, Bai Zihe kicked him.
"Ah—"
Ling Shaofeng let out a piteous wail and collapsed on the ground, clutching his groin.
There.
A mixture of blood and torn flesh was slowly oozing out.
This kick had rendered him useless.
Bai Zihe, acting as if nothing had happened, calmly led Bai Ruoyi away, holding her hand.
Shortly after they left, the bodyguards in the next room sensed something was wrong.
Although Ling Shaofeng had warned them earlier that there might be some commotion later and they shouldn't pay attention.
But this scream... it sounded like it came from the young master?
A group of people rushed to the suite.
Seeing Ling Shaofeng lying on the ground, sweating profusely and writhing in agony, they were instantly horrified.
"Young Master, what's wrong?"
"Quick!"
"Call an ambulance!"
"Call the master immediately!"
"Whoever dares to lay a hand on our Ling family's young master in Suhang City will surely die, no matter who they are!"
