Su Ming's eyes were bloodshot, emanating a monstrous killing intent. The steel rod in his hand stood upright, pressing firmly against Sheng Tianlun's throat, causing a fine trace of blood to spread instantly.

Sheng Tianlun dared not move an inch, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and under the oppressive force of the other's intense aura, he felt an impulse to prostrate himself on the ground.

He steeled himself to speak, "Su Ming, don't act recklessly! I'm telling you, if you dare lay a hand on me, the consequences are beyond what you can bear."

"What consequences? Isn't it just death? Before I die, I can use you, the treasured son of the Executive Deputy Mayor, as my companion to the grave. Even if I die, it wouldn't be in vain."

Su Ming's gaze suddenly turned fierce, a menacing sound coming from his mouth.

Now he really wanted to stab the steel pipe into Sheng Tianlun's throat and vent all his hatred.

Because he knew that only in this room could he be on equal footing with him; after all, everyone only has one life!

Once out of this room, with Sheng Tianlun's status, he could easily mobilize his entire network, and then it would be effortless to make sure he never turned things around.

So now, a sudden thought of fighting to the death emerged in his mind, even if it meant mutual destruction, he wasn't at a loss.

Sheng Tianlun, at this point, saw the almost tangible killing intent in Su Ming's eyes and finally realized that Su Ming wasn't joking. He genuinely intended to risk his life and go down with him!

His eyes immediately showed an incredible fear, and he kept swallowing his throat, then roared in disbelief, "How dare you think of this? You actually want to kill me? How dare you?"

Sheng Tianlun suddenly remembered the news that Su Ming had told him about, where the boss was killed by a brick from a migrant worker he regarded as insignificant.

At that moment, he seemed to see his own fate, being taken down by this insignificant figure in front of him, who could pierce through his fragile throat.

In the end, he might not even be able to speak, closing his eyes in endless regret.

Just as Su Ming raised his arm, ready to fiercely stab the sharp steel pipe into Sheng Tianlun's throat, a pair of delicate, bone-soft hands grabbed his arm.

Lin Yanan had been awake ever since Su Ming entered the room, seeing everything that had just happened, and her heart surged with infinite gratitude and heartache.

Su Ming clearly knew what dire consequences stabbing with the steel pipe would cause.

Yet he still lost his usual calm and rationality, all because of her.

It was seeing her wronged that filled him with a burning rage and resentment, wanting this villain in front of her to disappear from the world.

Thinking of this, Lin Yanan's clear eyes rippled with a touch of tenderness. She gently wrapped her slender, jade-like hands around Su Ming from behind.

Then she spoke softly, "Su Ming, take me home."

Upon hearing this, Su Ming turned his head to meet her gentle gaze, yet still couldn't quell the anger in his heart.

Then he continued to look down at Sheng Tianlun and said in a low voice, "Today, I just want him to know that the rage of a common man can cause bloodshed within five steps! Even small figures are sometimes not to be provoked! My woman, cannot be left alone and ignored after being wronged."

Sheng Tianlun saw this and the fear in his eyes grew almost tangible, finally turning into despair.

He watched the steel pipe about to come down and his heart flooded with endless regret. Why did he provoke someone who, once started, doesn't even care for life?

Now, the tables had turned in the gutter. As the son of the Deputy Mayor, was he going to end up reporting to the King of Hell with this person he utterly disregarded?

"Su Ming, I beg you, please take me away? I am too tired already..."

Lin Yanan firmly held onto Su Ming with her arms as white and delicate as lotus roots, resting her head on his solid, broad back, with a voice that softly pleaded.

Sheng Tianlun was shocked to see such a gentle and yielding side of the cold, aloof beauty always donned with an icy demeanor.

His heart swelled with discontent—why should such an ordinary person in front of him turn his goddess into this fragile, demure bird?

Yet Sheng Tianlun dared not express his thoughts, because the steel pipe in Su Ming's hand was still pressed against his vulnerable throat, drawing a conspicuously bloody line.

Su Ming suddenly stopped his arm when he turned back and saw the weak, pitiable Lin Yanan. A trace of compassion surged in his heart.

He exhaled a slow breath to calm his agitated emotions, then threw the steel pipe to the side and wrapped his arm around Lin Yanan's slender waist, leading her to the door.

Sheng Tianlun looked at the steel pipe, then turned his gaze to Su Ming's departing back.

A sudden wave of unwillingness surged in his heart, wanting to grab the steel pipe and teach this overly reckless guy a lesson.

But he found his feet like they were filled with lead, too heavy to lift,

Recalling the earlier fierce and menacing look on Su Ming's face, he couldn't help a slight shiver, the courage that had just surged forth vanished like smoke.

Approaching the door, Lin Yanduo glanced at Su Ming, her heart jolting sharply.

His earlier appearance, like a vengeful star descending to the mortal realm, had completely intimidated her. She wanted to express concern for Su Ming, but the words stuck in her throat.

Su Ming's face was calm, and after a faint glance at her, he wrapped his arm around Lin Yanan and left,

Lin Yanduo had a reason for not speaking.

When she saw Lin Yanan, tall and graceful, exquisitely beautiful with a peerlessly cold charm standing next to Su Ming,

She felt a sense of inferiority, suddenly perceiving herself as a counterfeit, paling in comparison to the rightful person like a firefly to the bright moon, the gap felt insurmountable.

Su Ming then drove Lin Yanan to the villa in Tangquan Yipin District.

Just as he was about to leave, Lin Yanan suddenly hugged him from behind, pressing her soft, full jade bosom against his back, speaking softly, "Su Ming, stay with me tonight, will you?"
