Chapter 44: Chapter 44 I Killed Her

At the same time, at the Huihuang Club, the top-floor Emperor’s Private Room.

Xiao Mengyi’s face was filled with panic as she watched Zhang Hui steadily advancing towards her, and she kept retreating.

"What do you want to do?"

Soon, she found herself backed into a corner with nowhere to retreat.

The corners of Zhang Hui’s mouth curled into an evil grin, his burning gaze roamed freely over Xiao Mengyi’s body. Licking his lips, he said, "Alone at last, just a man and a woman in a room. What do you think I could possibly want to do?"

Seeing the burly figure of Zhang Hui, despair filled Xiao Mengyi’s face.

She had never imagined her fate would be so ill-fortuned, on the verge of being forced into marriage with the Chen Family, and now faced with such a predicament.

Suddenly, she felt an urge to die.

Xiao Mengyi coldly looked at Zhang Hui and spoke, "I advise you not to touch me, otherwise, you will definitely regret it!"

"Oh?"

The corners of Zhang Hui’s mouth traced a curve, pausing in his advance, he stared at Xiao Mengyi with a smile and said, "And who might you be? Let’s hear it because I refuse to believe there’s a woman in Jiangcheng City I can’t afford to offend."

Xiao Mengyi replied, "My name is Xiao Mengyi, from the Xiao Family of the Provincial City!"

"The Xiao Family?"

Zhang Hui furrowed his brow, not expecting that this unbelievably gorgeous woman hailed from the provincial city and belonged to the Xiao Family.

With his status, although the Xiao Family was affluent, it was not an untouchable entity for him.

However, the Xiao Family had gained some notoriety recently. Just yesterday, his father, Zhang Longwang, had received an invitation from the Xiao Family. In a few days, the Xiao Family was to enter into marriage with the Chen Family, the top-tier nobles of the provincial city.

Zhang Longwang, no matter how formidable, was just the president of the Jiangcheng City Black Dragon Commerce Guild, and could not dare to offend the Chen Family, a top-tier noble family of the provincial city.

Once the Xiao Family was united in marriage with the Chen Family, the status of the Xiao Family was sure to rise astronomically.

Looking at the stunningly beautiful woman before him, Zhang Hui suddenly recalled something, feeling shocked. Could this woman be the one set to marry into the Chen Family?

Zhang Hui’s smile faded from his face, and he asked in a grave tone, "What is your relationship with Chen Kun?"

Seeing the worried look on Zhang Hui’s face, Xiao Mengyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was strongly opposed to marrying into the Chen Family, at the moment, without a reasonable justification, Zhang Hui would definitely not let her go easily.

With that in mind, she didn’t hesitate to say, "Chen Kun is my fiancé!"

As expected, Zhang Hui’s expression changed dramatically, and he said with an alarmed look, "You’re the woman the Chen Family is going to marry?"

Xiao Mengyi coldly asked, "Do I need to call Chen Kun right now?"

Zhang Hui laughed it off, saying with a smile, "So you are the sister-in-law. If you had told me earlier you were Young Master Chen’s fiancée, how would I dare to bring you here?"

Xiao Mengyi secretly exhaled a sigh of relief, not expecting Chen Kun’s name to actually be useful.

She said with a cold voice, "Now that you know who I am, can I leave?"

Zhang Hui hurriedly replied, "Of course!"

Xiao Mengyi said no more, but with a look of disgust glanced at Zhang Hui, and took her leave.

Zhang Hui watched Xiao Mengyi’s receding figure, his expression full of solemnity.

He had no doubts about Xiao Mengyi’s identity — a woman as beautiful as her, and a member of the Xiao Family, was certainly Chen Kun’s fiancée.

Although he had never dealt with Chen Kun personally, he had heard of him.

Chen Kun was notoriously ruthless in his methods. It was rumored that someone once spoke ill of him behind his back and ended up being beaten to death with a frozen fish by Chen that very night.

Zhang Hui had forcibly brought Xiao Mengyi to the Huihuang Club today, and even though he hadn’t managed to do anything yet, if word of this got back to Chen Kun, Zhang Hui feared he would meet a grisly end.

These thoughts made Zhang Hui’s face grow paler by the minute.

"What should I do? If I release this woman now, will she go to Chen Kun?"

"Once she tells Chen Kun what happened today, he will definitely not let me off the hook."

"So, this woman, she absolutely cannot leave!"

Soon, many ideas flashed through Zhang Hui’s mind, and he quickly made a choice.

"Stop right there!"

Zhang Hui bellowed.

Xiao Mengyi, who had reached the door, yanked open the door of the Emperor’s Private Room, ready to flee.

But as she pulled open the door, she saw two hulking men, like towering iron statues, standing at the entrance, blocking her way.

"Zhang Hui, didn’t you already agree to let me leave? What does this mean?"

Xiao Mengyi, fuming with anger, pointed at the men blocking her way and questioned Zhang Hui.

The corners of Zhang Hui’s mouth lifted slightly as he said cheerily, "I want to taste what it’s like to be with Chen’s fiancée."

Xiao Mengyi’s expression changed drastically. How dare Zhang Hui?

She shouted furiously, "You are shameless! If you dare touch a hair on my head, Chen Kun will never spare you. As the heir of the Jiangcheng City Black Dragon Commerce Association, you must know what kind of person Chen Kun is, right?"

Zhang Hui replied, "It is precisely because I know what he’s like that I’ve decided to keep you here."

Xiao Mengyi suddenly realized why Zhang Hui, who was about to let her go, had changed his mind out of the blue.

It turned out he was afraid that Chen Kun would never forgive him if he found out about this.

Xiao Mengyi quickly promised, "If you let me go, I can pretend nothing ever happened and will absolutely not tell Chen Kun about this."

Zhang Hui’s eyes narrowed slightly, "Only a dead person can keep a secret forever!"

Xiao Mengyi looked shocked, "Are you going to kill me?"

Zhang Hui did not hide his murderous intent and said with a grin, "For a top-quality woman like you, even if I have to kill you, I’d want to have a taste first."

"Ha ha, Chen’s bride-to-be, here I come!"

With that, he spread his arms and lunged at Xiao Mengyi.

Xiao Mengyi let out a piercing scream, helpless to dodge the charging Zhang Hui.

Just as Zhang Hui was about to pounce on her, at that very moment...

"Boom!"

A loud noise erupted as the door of the Emperor’s Private Room was slammed open by a burly figure, and another burly figure flew into the room.

Zhang Hui, who was about to commit his vile act, was scared out of his wits.

Could it be one of the Chen Family’s powerful protectors sent to secretly guard Xiao Mengyi?

Thinking this, Zhang Hui’s legs turned to jelly, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

Xiao Mengyi looked surprised as well, but suddenly, a familiar figure appeared at the doorway.

Upon seeing the figure, Xiao Mengyi was overjoyed, crying tears of happiness yet still tried to maintain composure as she said, "Qin Chuan, you’ve arrived!"

Qin Chuan saw that Xiao Mengyi was dressed properly, heaved a sigh of relief, nodded his head, and with eyes full of killing intent, he glared fiercely at Zhang Hui.

Out of nowhere, Zhang Hui had a dagger in his hand, his eyes filled with madness. He took a swift step forward, pulling Xiao Mengyi into his arms.

His other hand, clutching the dagger tightly, pressed it against Xiao Mengyi’s slender neck and yelled at Qin Chuan, "Take one more step and I’ll kill her!"
