Chapter 16 -16: Bottom Line, Not to Be Crossed
Ning Haoran’s ferociousness was fully exposed as the blade in his hand had already scraped Li Yuechan’s skin, causing blood to seep out.
Li Yuechan bit her tongue, using the pain to forcibly maintain her last shred of consciousness.
“Ning… Ning Haoran, you are my sister’s boyfriend, and what you’re doing now is committing a crime. If you stop now, I can let you off the hook,” Li Yuechan struggled to say.
“Shut the hell up,” Ning Haoran shouted. “From a young age, I, Ning Haoran, have never been beaten. Long Chen must pay a painful price.”
Ning Haoran roared and at the same time lifted his knee, slamming it hard into Li Yuechan’s waist.

Li Yuechan couldn’t stand firmly and half-knelt on the ground.
“Long Chen, if you don’t want her to die, you’d better kneel down obediently. I’ll count to three; you bear the consequences, one…”
“You just want me to pay the price, right? Come on, I’ll stand still and let you stab me. If you’re a man, let her go and come at me,” Long Chen shouted.
“Do you think I’m an idiot? If I let her go, you’ll immediately pin me down,” Ning Haoran retorted.
“I’ll do it myself,” Long Chen said as he bent down and picked up a short knife. “Tell me, what do I need to do for you to release Li Yuechan?”
At that moment, Long Chen’s greatest fear was something happening to Li Yuechan.
He didn’t have perfect control over his Mysterious Energy, so Long Chen dared not take that gamble.
Because if he failed, Li Yuechan might indeed be in mortal danger.
Seeing this, Ning Haoran paused for a moment, then burst into a crazed laugh, his cheeks twisting with the mania. “To go so far as to cut yourself for a wife in name only? How touching. Then take a knife and cut each of your legs, one by each side. Do that, and I’ll let Li Yuechan go.”
“Long Chen, don’t do it,” Li Yuechan gritted her teeth.
Yet Long Chen, without any hesitation, lifted the knife and chopped at his own legs, giving one cut to each.
Blood flowed out instantly, staining Long Chen’s legs red.
Long Chen collapsed to the ground as if life had left him.
“Ha ha, idiot, a complete idiot,” Ning Haoran laughed uncontrollably, pushing Li Yuechan aside.
“Long Chen, oh Long Chen, you do have some skills, but you’re too stupid. Did you really think I’d let Li Yuechan go at this point? Tsk, tsk, I’m going to take good care of her and have her make money for me at my KTV. And of course, before that, I’ll have a taste first,” Ning Haoran’s smile was extremely sinister.
Li Yuechan felt weak all over, tears falling continuously, trying to struggle and crawl towards Long Chen to check his condition, but she couldn’t.
Ning Haoran also relaxed and walked step by step towards Long Chen, mocking as he went, “Long Chen, I’ll get rid of you cleanly, rest in peace with King Yama.”
Having finished speaking, Ning Haoran crouched down, wanting to use a dagger to end Long Chen’s life.
But just at this critical moment, Long Chen suddenly opened his eyes and punched Ning Haoran in the chest.
Bang!
In an instant, Ning Haoran was sent flying and hit the wall before crashing to the ground, vomiting blood and then passing out on the spot.
Long Chen let out a long sigh of relief, standing up despite the severe pain in his legs, and taking laborious steps toward Li Yuechan.
Li Yuechan was too moved to speak, her tears flowing nonstop.
At the same time, Li Yuechan’s medication completely overwhelmed her.
“I… I feel so hot,” Li Yuechan said, tugging at her clothes.
“Yuechan, you won’t be in trouble,” Long Chen quickly responded, pressing a few acupoints on Li Yuechan’s body.
Li Yuechan suddenly became as if paralyzed by the Autopsy Doctor Immobilization Technique, unable to move.
Meanwhile, Long Chen quickly acted to neutralize the drugs inside Li Yuechan’s body.
Ten minutes had passed, and Long Chen had resolved the majority of the problem, but he himself had turned deathly pale.
Another two minutes went by, and Li Yuechan regained consciousness, recovering her ability to move.
Seeing Long Chen’s blood-covered body, Li Yuechan was terrified out of her wits, both touched and frightened.
“Long Chen, how could you be so foolish? Why would you risk your life to save me? I’m not worth it.”
As she spoke, Li Yuechan cried while trying to make an emergency call.
Long Chen hurriedly stopped Li Yuechan. He didn’t want to go to the hospital because if he did, some of the things in his body that defied common sense might be discovered.
“Don’t call for an ambulance.”
“You’re seriously injured; you must go to the hospital!” Li Yuechan urgently said.
“Don’t go to the hospital. These are just superficial wounds; they’ll heal quickly. If we go to the hospital, it’ll just create a lot of unnecessary trouble. You know what I am talking about, right?”
Long Chen spoke in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuechan suddenly realized something else, “But what if Ning Haoran falsely accuses you later?”
“He wouldn’t dare.” Long Chen said, “If it really came to an investigation, Ning Haoran himself would be in trouble. Besides, I could choose to eliminate him right here and put an end to future problems.”
Murderous intent surged in Long Chen’s eyes.
Ning Haoran’s actions had touched Long Chen’s bottom line.
Li Yuechan was scared out of her wits when she heard Long Chen’s words, “Don’t do anything foolish. None of the people you defeated have died. If you really killed Ning Haoran, that would be real trouble. I don’t want you to get into trouble. From now on, let’s just live a good life together, okay?”
“Ah?”
Long Chen stared at Li Yuechan with boundless surprise.
Li Yuechan hugged Long Chen and said again, “You heard right, I, Li Yuechan, am willing to be your true wife.”
“Did… did I hear wrong?”
“Husband.”
Li Yuechan called out.
Long Chen jerked in surprise, feeling the blood in his veins flow faster suddenly, as the Mysterious Energy surged, accelerating the healing of his wounds, something he was keenly aware of.
Moreover, the Mysterious Energy within him seemed to have grown much stronger.
Could emotions really influence these things?
Long Chen pondered internally, feeling as if he had touched the threshold of some profound mystery.
“Now do you believe me? Husband.”
Li Yuechan called out again.
At that moment, Li Yuechan was calling Long Chen “husband” from the bottom of her heart.
The image of Long Chen fighting desperately to save her had touched Li Yuechan deeply, leaving an indelible mark in her heart, penetrating to the marrow.
“Wife, I believe you.”
Long Chen held Li Yuechan tightly in his arms.
“You big fool, you actually used a knife on yourself. Let’s go home. I’ll find a private doctor for you; we won’t go to the hospital, we’ll treat you at home. We have money; we can get whatever we need.”
Li Yuechan spoke softly, showing tenderness to Long Chen for the first time.
“You go outside and wait for me first; I need to take care of things here,” Long Chen said.
“You’re in this state and still want to take care of things? What are you going to do? I can help you…”
“Trust me, just wait outside for me,” Long Chen’s eyes were resolute.
“All right, I’ll wait for you outside, but you have to promise me not to do anything foolish, and don’t harbor any intent to kill,” Li Yuechan instructed.
“Don’t worry, wife, I still want to live a good life with you, I won’t do anything foolish,” Long Chen said with a radiant smile.
“Then hurry up, I’ll hail a cab for you.”
Li Yuechan walked out of the KTV step by step.
Meanwhile, Long Chen also approached the unconscious Ning Haoran; he had no intention of truly letting Ning Haoran off easily!
Bottom lines are not to be crossed!
