Chapter 633: Chapter 657: A Close Shave

The door opened! Two people walked in, and Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao exchanged glances. In each other’s eyes, they both saw despair; they truly had not anticipated that their lives would end in such a manner.

Their lives were just beginning a new Chapter, just beginning to develop a deeper relationship with Li Yifei. They were looking forward to a better life ahead, but now it had all turned to naught.

But when they saw those two men turn the corner of the electrical box and appear before them, there was no scream of shock. Facing the barrel of the guns, they knew their lives were about to end. Supporting each other, they slowly stood up, still embracing, waiting for the sound of gunfire.

However, the two men did not fire immediately. They just stared at Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao, then exchanged glances, a strange gleam in their eyes.

"Take off your clothes," one of the assailants suddenly said.

Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao both jumped, their faces contorted in outrage. Li Xinyue gritted her teeth and said, "Go ahead and shoot."

"Take off your clothes!" the assailant repeated.

Song Lianyao’s face turned pale but she still snorted coldly, "Don’t even think about it, even if we die, we won’t let you disgrace us."

The two men glanced at each other again and then walked toward the women. Although they still held their guns, their fingers were not on the triggers; clearly, they did not take Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao seriously.

Although these thugs belonged to the same gang, they were not part of a real Terrorist Organization. They hadn’t always worked together; they had temporarily banded together for this big deal. So while they were all desperados, there were all sorts among them. These two were particularly lascivious, always trying to take advantage of beautiful women. Now, seeing how lovely Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao were, and with no one else around, their lust was aroused.

"Take off your clothes, and we won’t kill you. Otherwise, we’ll shoot you right now," one of the assailants threatened, brandishing the gun barrel.

The faces of Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao turned even paler. Although they were terrified, they both understood that even if they complied with the men’s demands, they were going to die, and they would be humiliated by these brutes before that. They’d rather die than submit.

Li Xinyue clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her palm, but she felt nothing. Biting her lip, she said, "You... don’t even think about it!"

"Big brother, these chicks are tasty, I like," the thug on the left said, sticking out his tongue to lick his lips, a lecherous look on his face.

The one on the right chuckled, "I like playing with chicks like these, the ones that put up a fight. It’s no fun if they just submit."

"Then let’s make it quick, before we run into trouble."

"Right!"

Having said that, the two men threw their guns to the ground and lunged at Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao respectively.

"Help!" Both Song Lianyao and Li Xinyue struggled fiercely and started shouting loudly for help.

Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao, although delicate beauties, went to the gym regularly to stay in shape. They didn’t have much strength, but they were not utterly helpless. When a woman truly fights for her life, her strength can be quite formidable. Struggling fiercely, they managed, for the moment, to keep the assailants at bay.

Rape often involves psychological intimidation, where women are too scared to resist, or deep down they might harbor fantasies of forced submission. When confronted with such situations, they may cease to fight back, rationalizing it as an excuse that it isn’t infidelity. That’s how perpetrators often succeed with ease.

But when a woman truly resists, it is not so easy for a man to prevail.

The two assailants now were afraid that the women’s shouting would alert others. Their forces were not abundant for this operation, with most of their manpower concentrated at the auction site and a few key positions on the ship. If they caused an uproar, making everyone onboard aware, they feared they would not succeed so easily. If it weren’t for their inside help, it wouldn’t have been possible for them to get this far on such a well-secured cruise ship.

Seeing the women’s resistance, the men’s faces grew violent. Raising their hands, they struck Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao on their necks. Both women felt darkness envelop them and their minds swiftly lost consciousness, collapsing limply to the floor.

However, before losing consciousness, both felt utterly heartbroken, knowing they could no longer escape their fate.

The assailants immediately started to strip off the women’s clothes. Although it took away some of the pleasure, they didn’t care at the moment. They planned to do it first, then kill the beauties.

But before their hands could touch Li Xinyue and Song Lianyao, they suddenly turned around, only to see a man standing behind them.

The man was none other than Li Yifei, his expression as still as water. The thugs were unarmed, their guns lying behind Yifei, and they felt the man before them emanated danger. At the same time, they both drew daggers from their waistbands.

No one spoke. Yifei’s hands hung casually at his sides, while the thug tensed up all over as if coiled tight by a spring. The pressure from Yifei was too much; without him making a move, they did not dare to attack.

"Who are you, friend?" the one on the left finally couldn’t stand the pressure and took the initiative to ask.

"The one who’s going to take your lives," Yifei replied curtly. Suddenly, he stepped forward with his right foot, his body instantly in front of the two men. The thugs reacted quickly, their daggers thrusting viciously toward Yifei’s chest.

But they weren’t even close to Yifei’s level of speed. As soon as their daggers extended, Yifei’s hands had already seized their necks. With a twist of his right hand, he had snapped one thug’s neck; the man didn’t even make a sound before he was dead.

The other thug was still alive. Yifei had only subdued him; he needed to extract some information from him.

The thug had no strength left to resist, overcome with terror. He had never before seen someone so formidable; with just a move, his comrade’s life had been taken, and he himself was completely powerless.
