"The previous sentence." Ren Yuanhao, now like a ferocious ghost, stomped on Guo Sheng's face with one foot.
Guo Sheng was already terrified by the man before him. His eyes held a predatory ferocity, a presence he had never witnessed in anyone else.
He had a strong premonition that if he resisted or provoked further, the only outcome would be death.
Ren Yuanhao's aura also turned the faces of the young masters, who had not truly experienced life-or-death combat, pale. After all, Guo Sheng's status in Yunjin City was not low; even people from the Dongfang family would not dare to be so arrogant.
A question simultaneously arose in their minds: What kind of person was this god-like figure?
"The, the previous sentence?" Guo Sheng dared not meet Ren Yuanhao's eyes. His mind was in a daze; he had no memory of what he had just said, nor did he know what he had said to anger this deity!
He shifted his gaze to the trembling young woman behind him and almost roared, "Damn it, when trouble arises, you hide far away. Quickly, think about what I said just now!"
The woman trembled and thought for a moment, then replied cautiously, "You, you said, 'You wouldn't possibly think I'd care about such a trivial matter?'"
"Hmph, in your eyes, a matter of life and death is merely a trivial matter. How excellent!" Ren Yuanhao pressed down hard on his head. The more enraged he became, the more memories of Guo Sheng flooded his mind.
Among them were the girls who had tragically died in the sea of flames, and the woman who had been defiled by him and attempted suicide, landing in a mental hospital. His atrocities were simply outrageous.
"Th-that was an accident, sir, spare me, I'll never dare to act recklessly again!"
Guo Sheng clasped his hands together, continuously begging for mercy. This scene greatly delighted Bai Zhiyu. The reason she had separated from him years ago was precisely this. However, having followed this demon for so many years, she felt it would be better for the relevant authorities to handle such matters than for Ren Yuanhao to administer private punishment.
With this thought, Bai Zhiyu pulled Ren Yuanhao, signaling him not to act impulsively. He then suppressed his rage and coldly declared, "Guo Sheng, is it? I remember you. Tomorrow, if I don't hear of your voluntary surrender and confession, someone will come to deal with you."
Bai Zhiyu knew the situation had escalated and they couldn't stay there any longer. She then pulled her old friends and left the entertainment venue.
At this time, it was nearly eight o'clock, and the sky had completely darkened. With a dark moon and high wind, the entire city seemed to be shrouded in a cold, murderous aura. The decorative lanterns on both sides of the street swayed like boats adrift at sea, indistinct and hazy, their faint figures appearing and disappearing with the shifting lights.
Ren Yuanhao followed Bai Zhiyu back to her Mercedes-Benz and suddenly burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Bai Zhiyu asked, puzzled.
Bai Zhiyu reclined her seat and laughed even more painedly and unrestrainedly. Suddenly, she said, "You don't know, I've never seen that man so disheveled. In the past, he got whatever he wanted, acted without regard for consequences, and did countless wicked deeds behind my back. Unfortunately, I never had proof."
"Actually, I am a little afraid of people like him," Ren Yuanhao's voice slowly softened. "You don't know, when he said those words so casually, for a moment, I felt immense fear in my heart, as if on a clear and bright day, a thick layer of clouds covered me. At that moment, I was thinking, how could anyone in this world value human life so lightly, as if it were as easy as crushing an ant?"
"He is that kind of person, decisive and ruthless, otherwise he wouldn't have achieved what he has today. Perhaps, like you, I fear such people from the bottom of my heart, so~"
Bai Zhiyu didn't finish her sentence. She sprang up from her seat and asked meaningfully, "Ren Yuanhao, I have a question for you, will you answer it truthfully?"
"Ask away?"
"Who exactly are you?"
Who was he? If someone had asked him this a few months ago, he would have thought they were mocking him. After all, back then, he was just a single, broke, moonlight-eating loser who had lost all his dreams.
It could be said that the 'DiDi Dating System' had completely transformed him into a different Ren Yuanhao. His innate sense of chivalry had also awakened. Although he had encountered many life-threatening situations along the way, if he could go back and choose, he would still unhesitatingly choose this difficult yet meaningful path in life.
"I am not as powerful as you imagine. I am an ordinary person, a loser, just a loser with a slightly bigger膽 than usual."
Bai Zhiyu smiled, "Don't underestimate yourself. I believe that someone who can make Guo Sheng suffer such a great loss is definitely not an ordinary person. I am very happy that, in my lifetime, I can still experience that flutter of the heart again."
"My pleasure."
...
After completing the order, Ren Yuanhao did not return to his rented apartment. Instead, he wandered around the park diagonally opposite the complex where the three women lived.
Perhaps encountering someone like Guo Sheng had also unsettled his mood.
There was an interesting old woman in this park, and for some reason, he wanted to talk to her for a while.
Even though he knew very well that the old woman's small shop should have already closed.
Night shrouded the quiet, flower-scented park. Antique streetlights cast a soft glow. As the hot weather had ended, the autumn wind turned the leaves yellow, and fewer people were strolling in the park, making the surroundings somewhat desolate.
Unknowingly, Ren Yuanhao walked to the center of the park, where a Ferris wheel adorned with a ribbon of light stood.
He followed the ethereal ribbon of light. The slowly rotating Ferris wheel resembled a celestial body floating in the universe. His eyesight was excellent; he could even see couples kissing on the Ferris wheel and children holding their breath, afraid to open their eyes. Just then, he spotted a familiar figure on the Ferris wheel, sitting alone in a glass-encased space resembling a lantern.
It was the old woman.
The old woman did not look at the scenery outside; she sat there quietly, like a statue, lost in thought.
Ren Yuanhao had initially intended to chat with her. However, sometimes, people need a special, solitary environment to dispel all negative energy, allowing them to carry their burdens forward.
As he shifted his gaze to the rest area below the Ferris wheel, he saw another familiar face. That person, carrying a backpack disproportionate to their physique, was watching the uniformly rotating Ferris wheel with boredom.
This person was Ji Fu, Miss Ji, who had left in anger.
