"Xia Boyu! My father's name is Xia Boyu!" Xia Ke said angrily. She deliberately mentioned her father's name. Although the Xia family was considered to be at the bottom of the wealthy families in Lin City, their financial strength could not be underestimated. Ordinary criminals would be afraid of his identity.
"The Xia family?" The man seemed a little surprised. After thinking for a few seconds, he curled his lips and snorted. "I never heard about the daughter of the Xia family being a fool. However… I'll know if you're really a fool or just pretending to be one after giving it a try…" With a flip of his hand, the dagger on Xia Ke's neck suddenly slid down. With a snap, the first button of Xia Ke's shirt was undone. The cold dagger stuck to her skin for a moment, causing her to have goosebumps. The dagger didn't stop and continued to slide down. The sound of buttons being undone was endless.
Xia Ke did not move and allowed the man to unbutton her clothes. In the current situation, her life was more important! A few buttons went undone, and Xia Ke's clothes were half open, exposing a large part of her skin.
The man's sharp gaze scanned Xia Ke's face, not wanting to miss any of her expressions. However, Xia Ke looked confused, as if she didn't know what he was doing.
The man smiled playfully. "You're so obedient. This shirt is ruined. Take it off." As soon as he finished speaking, the sharp dagger cut through Xia Ke's bra strap. The fragile strap instantly broke into two, revealing her chest.
At this moment, a cold glint flashed across Xia Ke's eyes. She suddenly lowered her head and bit the area between the base of his thumb and his index finger.
"Hiss!" The sudden pain made the man retract his hand. The anger in his eyes surged as he swung his dagger at Xia Ke's neck. "You're courting death!"
Xia Ke clapped her hands and stared at the man's hands with a silly smile. "Delicious! Lollipops are delicious…"
The murderous intent in the man's eyes did not disappear. Instead, he pressed the blade against Xia Ke's neck. There was a bright red wound on her fair neck, and the blood stained the cold blade.
"It hurts!" Xia Ke suddenly covered her neck and pointed at the man accusingly. "Bad guy! You didn't play with me and you even hurt me! Bad guy!"
The man stared at Xia Ke for a few seconds, then suddenly put away his dagger and snorted. "Get lost!"
"Play with me! Play with me!" Xia Ke didn't leave immediately but grabbed the man's arm and shook it.
"Get lost before I change my mind!" The man shook off Xia Ke's hand impatiently and frowned again. Raising his head, he covered his heart. He looked at Xia Ke deeply before turning around and walking toward the car.
Seeing the man leave, Xia Ke secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She could stop pretending to be a fool now. This man was very cautious, but there seemed to be something wrong with his heart. If he hadn't just had an attack, she wouldn't have had the chance to pretend to be a fool.
She couldn't stay here for long. Xia Ke stomped her feet, pretending to be very angry. Turning around, she ran away! At this moment, the man's cold voice came from behind. "If I find out one day that you're pretending to be a fool, I'll make you wish you were dead."
...
Xia Ke had just disappeared from the alley when a few black cars sped over and finally stopped beside the man. An old man was the first to get out of the car. When he saw the corpses all over the ground, he went forward in a panic. "Young Master, are you alright?"
The man shook his head with a cold expression. "I took the medicine I brought with me. I'm fine for the time being." As he spoke, he glanced at the bodies beside him and sneered. "It's all thanks to these killers that I got a way to vent." Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to control himself when his illness acted up. The woman just now wouldn't have had a chance to survive either.
The old man hurriedly nodded and looked into the alley hesitantly. "Should we silence the woman just now?"
"It's fine." Jiang Chuanyao suddenly thought of something and asked, "Uncle Tan, is the daughter of Jiang City's Xia family a fool?"
"Young Master, how did you know? The Xia family has a total of three daughters, but the youngest daughter is a fool. It's said that she only has an IQ of a seven or eight-years-old." Uncle Qin frowned and continued, "She's the one who was engaged to you back then, but the Xia family said that you can choose from the other two daughters…"
Jiang Chuanyao said, "No need. I'll take that daughter. I'll send the betrothal gifts over tonight."
Uncle Qin was stunned. He hurriedly chased after him. "Young Master, the youngest daughter is a fool!"
"Fools will keep their mouths shut." Jiang Chuanyao walked to the car. In his hand was an old necklace that had just been torn off Xia Ke's neck. She didn't even have any decent jewelry on her. It seemed like the Xia family treated her very badly…
After a pause, Jiang Chuanyao said, "The betrothal gifts have to be of the best quality."
