Mainly because they were two people with the same goals so they steered clear from injuring the other party.
The CEO did not have any qualms about dirtying his hands with blood but since meeting Miss Li, the CEO did not get angry often. Today's scenario was really special, PA Ren said to himself.
It was because Du Tianxing had completely hit the CEO's bottom line. The CEO had repeatedly warned him not to touch Miss Li.
PA Ren thought that Du Tianxing had it coming.
To the CEO, nothing was more important than Miss Li.
In the CEO's eyes, he could take any insults and bear with all the harsh words sent his way but Miss Li was never to get involved. Otherwise, what happened earlier would repeat itself.
Many people had experienced the CEO's wrath and it was all because they messed with Miss Li. The CEO was so petty that even a random passerby who would make rude remarks towards Miss Li would end up beaten by people.
That was how protective the CEO was over Miss Li.
PA Ren sighed. This whole act was about to reach its climax but he was not sure if Miss Li could still hold on. Afterall, the scene at CEO Yang's birthday party had hurt her once again.
The fact that Miss Li stayed strong until she left meant that once she was back to her apartment, she would be crying or drowning herself in alcohol.
Even if PA Ren did not ask the CEO if his assumptions were correct, he was already on his way to buy hangover medicine for his future madam.
He sent another message to the CEO when he arrived at the apartment.
PA Ren knocked on the door and waited until the footsteps approached.
"CEO Min." He said when the door opened. The shirtless figure of his boss appeared in the doorway, surprising him.
Wasn't Miss Li drunk? Why is the CEO half-naked?
Don't tell me they...
PA Ren gulped and he handed the bag containing the hangover medicine.
"CEO, do you want me to buy anything else... like an ointment--"
"Did that bastard die?"
PA Ren paled. The CEO's expression was dark as if he was expecting the news of his cousin's death.
'CEO, don't say that. Mr. Du is still your cousin...'
On the surface, PA Ren shook his head. "Mr. Du's condition has stabilized. He did not lose a lot of blood but the wound on his stomach would take a week to heal. His face is swelling. CEO, Mr. Du is also asking you for monetary compensation for the beating and he wants to charge you with attempted murder. At the moment, he is currently resting."
Min Yue clicked his tongue. He looked absolutely disappointed. "I should have stabbed harder."
PA Ren nearly choked on his saliva. CEO, please refrain from saying your murderous thoughts aloud. Mr. Du is still your cousin, is what PA Ren wanted to say but he wisely kept his mouth shut.
He wiped the sweat on his forehead using a handkerchief.
"Give him the money he wants but don't let him cause trouble."
Eventually, the CEO allowed him to leave and even said that he would be temporarily in charge tomorrow.
PA Ren was quick-witted. It meant that the CEO would stay the night here and would take care of Miss Li until morning.
In Li Ruyan's bedroom, Min Yue was leaning on the chair. He did not join Li Ruyan on the bed because he preferred to sit and watch her.
The picture of her and his cousin triggered a sense of loathing inside him and before he knew it, he had up and left Yang Shiwei, driving towards Du Tianxing's penthouse and bypassing many traffic rules.
He had PA Ren handle all of the trouble when he left.
It was not often that he made mistakes like this but when it came to Li Ruyan, he really could throw anything away.
He remembered her sobbing face that was telling him that she was dirty. Since he bathed her body earlier, he was sure that nothing happened between her and his cousin.
He was also sure that Du Tianxing would not be so suicidal that he would bed Li Ruyan when Min Yue was still alive unless he has a death wish.
While thinking about Du Tianxing's ugly mug, Min Yue's face became dark. He was suddenly surrounded by a cold and icy aura. If Li Ruyan saw this, she would call him an ice princess but the more appropriate term was an icy behemoth who was on the verge of rampage.
Min Yue inhaled deeply as he toned down his emotions.
For now, he would stay with her, and then he would worry later about how to deal with the clingy woman who kept pestering him to spend the night at the Yang family.
Yang Shiwei.
She was Yang Liu's daughter. Min Yue has known this woman for three years and not for a good reason.
It was because that woman was so brazen to ask him for his hand in marriage. When he refused and showed his disgust, she did not give up and started stalking him.
The only reason he could not make any big moves to get rid of her was due to Yang Liu. Min Yue was still building his power and influence at that time so he was still doing his best to lay low. There was also Li Ruyan who he did not want to risk getting in danger because of him.
It took him five years to build up the power needed to go against his mother and sister's murderers.
It was long and tiring but it would be worth it. Along with Yang Liu, the Min family would also fall.
Min Yue would be the only descendant left and the last member of the Min's. It was a big decision and he was ready to go through it.
No matter what, he could not give up.
Because everything was for revenge.
Everything was for his mother and sister who died unjust deaths.
Every single torment he suffered, he would pay them all back.
