Chapter 35: You Asked for Death-A jovem herdeira se oferece em casamento, e a ex-noiva que cancelou o noivado enlouquece de arrependimento!(Esperar o vento levantar)

The Governor’s eyes turned bloodshot as he watched his woman suffer such humiliation. Although the man before him exuded an overwhelming sense of oppression, mixed with a hint of mystery, the sight of his woman being insulted to his face was something he could not tolerate, regardless of the consequences.

Outwardly, he remained subservient, bowing and scraping before Li Mu, but his eyes darted toward his discarded clothing. "Big Brother, can you let me put on some clothes first? Don't you find this eyesore hard to look at?"

Li Mu glanced at the mass of flab and nodded with an expression of pure disgust. He was a normal man, and he had no interest in a man's body. The woman, however—despite her age, her figure was undeniably stunning.

The Governor scrambled to grab his trousers. As his hand touched the cold object in his pocket, his gaze sharpened. Catching Li Mu off guard, he leveled a dark-barreled weapon at the back of Li Mu's head. Li Mu sensed a chill behind him and glanced slightly to the side.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two deafening reports left a charred scent in the air. Watching the golden bullets streak toward Li Mu’s head, the Governor wore a ferocious smirk. "You little brat, you dare to—impossible!"

The Governor's jowls quivered, his eyes filled with disbelief. The two bullets, which had been flying with lethal velocity, suddenly decelerated just centimeters from Li Mu. Tiny vortices even formed in the air around them. Li Mu tilted his head with indifference, and the bullets reversed direction. One struck the Governor’s shoulder squarely, while the other pierced straight through his wrist.

"Ah!"

The weapon clattered to the floor, and blood dripped from his wrist. In the next second, a tremendous force lifted the Governor from the ground. One punch to the chest shattered his ribs. Two punches to the abdomen damaged his internal organs. Three punches to the legs left them a bloody mess. By the time the Governor and the woman recovered their senses, he was nothing more than a heap of flesh on the floor.

"There was a path to heaven, yet you refused to take it; you chose to barge into the gates of hell. You have only yourself to blame!"

Li Mu slowly shifted his gaze to the woman. She was already terrified out of her wits, no longer caring about covering her body.

Li Mu felt his blood heating up. Even a man of his self-control found it difficult to remain indifferent, his body beginning to react in ways he couldn't describe. Suppressing his urges, he stepped toward the woman in the corner. "You still haven't answered my question from before."

The woman shuddered, her body trembling uncontrollably at the memory of Li Mu’s terrifying display of power. "I... I am Wang Yurou, the daughter-in-law of the Lu family! Please, I beg you, do not tell the Lu family about this. If you do, I... I will meet a miserable end!"

With that, she crawled on her knees toward Li Mu like a pathetic little kitten. Li Mu gazed at the beauty before him, feeling a surge of satisfaction. "Very well. I hear the Lu family has been making trouble for me lately. It's one thing that you broke off our engagement, but you wouldn't even leave my parents alone. I think you know what to do."

Wang Yurou nodded, her chest heaving. Suddenly, she stared blankly at the man before her. Though he appeared down-and-out, he radiated an indescribable, potent masculinity. If she had been with him just now... it would have been a truly blissful experience! With this thought, her reaction became intense, and she pressed herself against Li Mu’s legs.

Li Mu was, after all, a normal man. Given the scene before him, failing to take advantage of it would have been a disservice to himself. He reached out and grabbed the woman firmly, then recorded her sycophantic display.

The head of the Lu family in Cloud City was officially Mr. Lu, but the one who truly held the power was this daughter-in-law. To make her obedient, conquering her in certain ways wasn't enough; he needed leverage. As for the rest of his conquest, although the engagement was broken, she was still technically his half-sister-in-law. And there was something alluring about a sister-in-law.

The woman whimpered, her face flushed, completely unaware that her state was being recorded by the man before her.

At Li Mu’s home, Li Huihui woke up and felt a wave of warmth upon seeing the food on the table. She instinctively looked for her brother, but after searching the house, he was nowhere to be found. She sat by the table and pounded her legs hard, but there was still no sensation.

*Did my brother grow tired of me being a burden and disappear again?* The thought brought a surge of bitterness to her heart. After all, who would want to spend their whole life taking care of a cripple? Even if her brother found a wife, she would probably despise her.

*If I hadn't gone there back then, none of this would have happened!* At this thought, she struck her legs twice more.

Her mother, just waking up, witnessed this. "Huihui, what are you doing?"

"Mom, I don't want to be a cripple. Please, stop worrying about me. Just... let me die!"

Hearing her daughter, Yang Suxing embraced her while weeping. "Your brother said he would definitely cure you. Don't think like that!"

Li Huihui shook her head. "It's useless, it's useless!"

The mother and daughter wept together for a while before discovering the note Li Mu had left behind. Yang Suxing opened it, her face filled with panic. "This... could my boy have gone to seek revenge on that hooligan?"

Yang Suxing rushed into the bedroom to prepare, then pushed Li Huihui out the door to look for Li Mu.

Meanwhile, a man skulked toward Li Mu’s house from the alley entrance. He stared at the courtyard for a long time, tapped on his phone a few times, and left with a satisfied look. Two minutes later, he returned with several bottles in his hand. The bottles contained a yellowish-red liquid that emitted a pungent, acrid odor. The man poured all the liquid over the wooden door, and the foul stench instantly spread.

Li Huihui and Yang Suxing, having failed to find Li Mu, returned home in disappointment. From a distance, Li Huihui spotted a familiar figure and recognized him instantly. Her body shook as she stared in terror at the man.

"Mom, he... he's out!"

Yang Suxing didn't react at first, but seeing her daughter's state, she grew concerned. "Who are you talking about?"

"Him... that hooligan, he's back!"

Yang Suxing froze in place. Weren't they told that as long as they didn't press charges, he would never appear before them again? The man didn't notice the women as he obsessively continued to smear the liquid onto the wooden door.

"Stinking women, you made me unable to go home. I must teach you a lesson!"
