Chapter 52: The Shameless Trap
In the face of Duan Qingyu's threats, Xiao Yun remained indifferent, wearing a look of disdain. However, Nie Xiaoqian appeared very nervous, gripping Xiao Yun's hand tightly, her palm slick with sweat.
Xiao Yun patted Nie Xiaoqian's hand with his other hand and whispered to comfort her, "It's okay. Whoever dares to touch my Sister, no matter how powerful their backing is, I won't let them off!"
"Mm, that's manly. Kid, I'm starting to like you a bit!" Although Xiao Yun spoke softly, the little bell in the Storage Ring heard him clearly and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
His words stirred a ripple of warmth in Nie Xiaoqian's heart. Ever since her grandfather went missing and her father was admitted to the Mental Hospital, she hadn't felt such warmth in a long time.
But she also worried for Xiao Yun; after all, the influence of the Duan Family in the galaxy was not to be underestimated. Having beaten up someone from the Duan Family today, would they let him go?
After the excitement faded, worry replaced it on Nie Xiaoqian's face.
Xiao Yun could certainly sense her thoughts. He looked into her charming eyes and asked, "Nie Xiaoqian, tell me where you work and how you ended up here?"
Before Nie Xiaoqian could respond, Duan Qingyu, who was slumped on the ground, burst into a wild laugh showing his yellow teeth. His snake-like gaze roamed over Xiao Yun as he said, "Hehe, let me tell you on behalf of this little beauty. She works at Red Star Electronics Company and was sent to me by them to curry favor with our Duan Family. Kid, as long as you kneel and apologize to me, I'll let you go. But you have to leave this little beauty behind."
Duan Qingyu didn't catch what Xiao Yun had just said to comfort Nie Xiaoqian. In his imagination, although this kid could fight, he should have some reservations upon realizing he was dealing with someone from the Duan Family.
However, he never expected that his words would ignite Xiao Yun's fury. With a swift kick, Xiao Yun struck him right in the face.
No wonder Duan Qingxue wanted to run away from home; it seemed there wasn't a good person in the Duan Family!
"Oh—" Duan Qingyu had hoped to see Xiao Yun terrified after hearing his words but instead received a flying kick. His pupils shrank as he let out a scream and fainted with blood covering his face.
A few bodyguards outside peeked inside with shocked expressions before quickly retreating.
"Brother, you..." Nie Xiaoqian was pale with fright.
This was the third time Nie Xiaoqian had met Xiao Yun. In her impression, he was gentle-natured; he only had a slightly lewd gaze when looking at beautiful women but was definitely not evil. He didn't appear particularly strong either; however, she never expected that this seemingly innocent-looking Xiao Yun could also be so fierce.
Xiao Yun remained indifferent, as if nothing had happened. He patted Nie Xiaoqian on the shoulder and said, "Nie Xiaoqian, I only listen to you. Tell me, who is that Flower Cloth? I remember the last time we were together, you repeatedly told me not to go to your company. What was that about?"
Nie Xiaoqian hesitated and said, "Brother, I... I can tell you, but you have to promise me not to cause trouble for that Flower Cloth. He... he is from the Wolf Gang..."
Again with the Wolf Gang!
Xiao Yun ground his teeth in secret, knowing that one day he would eliminate the people from the Wolf Gang!
Seeing Nie Xiaoqian's worried expression, Xiao Yun's heart softened. "Silly girl, I will listen to you. Go ahead, I won't provoke them!"
Flower Cloth was the boss of Red Star Electronics Company and also the son-in-law of Lu Jiutang, the leader of the Wolf Gang. However, many people knew that Flower Cloth had no sons; he treated this son-in-law like his own son and spoiled him greatly.
Nie Xiaoqian's father ended up in a mental hospital, leaving her without a source of income and unable to continue her studies. Thus, she applied for a job at Flower Cloth's company.
At that time, Nie Xiaoqian had no idea that Flower Cloth was part of the Wolf Gang, nor did she know about his ruthless nature. Entering this company was like stepping into a den of wolves.
Nie Xiaoqian was naturally beautiful. As soon as she joined Red Star Electronics Company, she attracted many men's attention. Soon after, she caught Flower Cloth's eye, who relentlessly pursued her to be his secret lover.
It turned out that Flower Cloth's wife was a typical shrew and knew her husband was very unfaithful. She kept a tight watch on him and even placed spies in the company. As soon as she discovered any inappropriate behavior from him, she would be immediately informed.
With such a controlling wife, Flower Cloth naturally did not dare to openly force Nie Xiaoqian into submission; he could only threaten her in secret. However, Nie Xiaoqian looked down on him and refused to yield.
After several entanglements met with Nie Xiaoqian's strong rejections, Flower Cloth became furious and viciously told her, "As long as it's someone I can't have, no one else can touch them either! Let me tell you, if any man dares to date you, I'll take his life!"
"Actually, when we met for the second time," Nie Xiaoqian said bashfully while glancing at Xiao Yun with flushed cheeks, "I told you a lie. The first time at that restaurant, I was originally supposed to go on a date with a male classmate. Somehow Flower Cloth found out about it and sent two bodyguards to follow me to teach my classmate a lesson. Perhaps my classmate got wind of it beforehand and ran away in fear. The outfit I wore was also bought for me by my grandfather when he was still at home..."
Xiao Yun sighed and asked, "Why did you feel the need to lie to me?"
Nie Xiaoqian replied, "Last time when I went to the hospital because I was sick, I happened to see you at Feng Family. Later I followed you but got caught by you. At that moment, I could tell you were a good person and didn't want you to get involved in my troubles..."
"You were afraid I'd find out the truth and then go to Red Star Electronics Company to confront Flower Cloth about it, which would put me in danger?" Xiao Yun asked.
"Yes..." Nie Xiaoqian nodded with red eyes.
Xiao Yun felt a pang of bitterness in his heart. Although Nie Xiaoqian was not as stunning as Duan Qingxue, she possessed a unique charm, like a vibrant flower blooming in the cold autumn, truly captivating and evoking a desire to cherish her even more.
"You still haven't told me how you got to the Emperor Hotel today?" Xiao Yun pressed.
Nie Xiaoqian informed him that Flower Cloth, seeing little hope of claiming her for himself, warned her, "If you are unwilling to be my lover, one day I will give you to another man like a plaything!"
Flower Cloth had already set his sights on her; she wanted to escape but found it impossible to break free from his grasp.
Who did he intend to give Nie Xiaoqian to? It was none other than Duan Family's young master, Duan Qingyu.
Duan Qingyu's father, Duan Shaohang, was the most trusted person by Duan Haoran. The leader of the Wolf Gang, Lu Jiutang, had heard that Flower Cloth frequently interacted with Duan Qingyu and held him in high regard. He often told this precious son-in-law that if one day the Wolf Gang could form an alliance with the Duan Family, their foundation in Galaxy City would be solid and unshakeable. He repeatedly urged Flower Cloth to hold onto Duan Qingyu tightly.
Flower Cloth knew that Duan Qingyu was particularly lecherous. That day, he intentionally went to the Emperor Hotel under the Duan Clan's banner to invite Duan Qingyu for a meal and mentioned wanting to gift him an unparalleled beauty.
Subsequently, Flower Cloth made a phone call back to the company, instructing someone to bring Nie Xiaoqian over, claiming there was an urgent matter that required her presence. Unaware of the trap, Nie Xiaoqian arrived at the Emperor Hotel and was taken to a private room on the eighth floor, where she was locked up.
By the time Nie Xiaoqian realized she had been deceived, it was too late for her to escape. In a moment of desperation, she sent a text message to Xiao Yun but hadn’t had the chance to explain her situation before the door burst open and Duan Qingyu stormed in...
"A bunch of bastards!" Xiao Yun shouted angrily as he suddenly grabbed Nie Xiaoqian's hand and said, "Nie Xiaoqian, come with me!"
Nie Xiaoqian anxiously asked, "Brother, where are you taking me?"
