Chapter 145

Chapter 145: This Woman Has a Death Wish "Go, untie the ropes on her. What's the fun in being tied up?" Fu Yuanzhou said this to Zhou Yu. "Yes." Zhou Yu walked toward Ruan Chutang. Everyone present heard their conversation clearly. Just now, Fu Yuanzhou had ordered those underlings to go over and assault Ruan Chutang. Those men had already swarmed forward like hungry wolves pouncing on prey. Ruan Chutang was lying at the edge of the building, some distance away from them. The group had only made it halfway when they heard Fu Yuanzhou's words. They all stopped in unison, swallowing their saliva, staring at Ruan Chutang with fervent eyes, anxiously waiting for Zhou Yu to untie her ropes. Ruan Chutang glared fiercely at Fu Yuanzhou, her gaze seeming to want to slice him into a thousand pieces. This pervert Fu Yuanzhou enjoyed such a look. A smile curled at the corner of the man's lips, his voice pleased, "Hate me?" "Too bad. Crushing you is as easy as crushing an ant. No matter how much you hate me, you can't do anything to me. The anger of the powerless is my stimulant." Zhou Yu walked over in a few steps, dragged Ruan Chutang from the edge of the building, and reached out to untie the ropes binding her. The moment the ropes were untied, Ruan Chutang charged at Fu Yuanzhou with reckless abandon. Just now when Zhou Yu had dragged her over, Fu Yuanzhou had been standing right beside them. At this moment, the distance between the two was very close. The instant Ruan Chutang rushed forward, even Zhou Yu didn't react in time. Fu Yuanzhou's other underlings were all leering, their minds filled with filthy thoughts, only wanting to hurry up and rape that woman. They only assumed Ruan Chutang was a weak woman without the strength to truss a chicken. How could they have imagined that after being freed, she would dare to charge at Fu Yuanzhou and fight for her life? So no one stopped Ruan Chutang in that first moment. She successfully reached Fu Yuanzhou's side. Fu Yuanzhou reacted quickly, dodging Ruan Chutang's lethal strike. Immediately after, he struck back, "No one interfere!" Excitement flickered in Fu Yuanzhou's eyes. His entire being was in a state of frenzy as he loudly barked at his underlings, forbidding them from getting involved. Earlier, when he had sent people to surveil Ruan Chutang, in the videos those underlings had reported back, Ruan Chutang was always crying in sorrow, drowning her sorrows in alcohol while missing Jiang Shixu. Fu Yuanzhou only thought this woman was a pretty airhead, an incurable lovesick fool who couldn't live without a man. He knew Ruan Chutang's profession was lawyer, but that didn't make him think any more highly of her. In Fu Yuanzhou's impression, Ruan Chutang was just a fool whose head was filled with nothing but romance. He had never understood why someone like Jiang Shixu would fall for a woman like this. If it was about beauty, she was indeed extraordinarily attractive, but there were so many beautiful women out there. Why was Jiang Shixu so infatuated with this particular woman that he was head over heels? When Fu Yuanzhou sent people to capture Ruan Chutang, his underlings brought her before him without ever mentioning that this woman knew some martial arts. After they escorted her upstairs, the woman's face was deathly pale, her eyes full of terror. In Fu Yuanzhou's view, this woman was no different from those delicate, fragile women—a pampered young lady, her head filled with nothing but romance, scared out of her wits at the slightest trouble, crying and whimpering in an annoying way. He never expected this woman to have such courage, daring to charge at him and fight to the death. Moreover, her fighting skills actually had some substance to them. Fu Yuanzhou had grown up in Country A under a crime syndicate godfather. The training he endured was inhuman—nothing an ordinary person could withstand. When Fu Yuanzhou was twelve, his godfather threw him onto a deserted island for wilderness survival to temper him. At sixteen, he was thrown into the Colosseum to fight for his life against ferocious beasts. The day he walked out of the Colosseum, Fu Yuanzhou obtained his first armed unit, gaining his own military force. He began handling shady deals for his godfather, clashing with other gangs, killing and robbing, all while undergoing the same military training as mercenaries. At eighteen, Fu Yuanzhou's power grew increasingly formidable, even able to contend with the local military in Country A. When Fu Yuanzhou was twenty-four, he personally killed his godfather and became the boss of the largest gang in Country A. Against an inhuman specimen like him, Ruan Chutang stood no chance. But a person in a state of extreme rage with no regard for their own life has unlimited potential that can be unleashed. Like Ruan Chutang at this very moment. Ruan Chutang knew she wasn't walking out of this building alive today. Rather than being violated by that group of lecherous, despicable men, she chose to fight Fu Yuanzhou to the death. Either way, death was coming. Between dying in humiliation and filth versus fighting with everything she had before dying, she chose to release all the emotions pent up inside her—to vent the hatred and fury toward Fu Yuanzhou that she had been suppressing for so long. "Interesting." Fu Yuanzhou's expression shifted from initial disdain to surprise, his gaze becoming intrigued. He had never met a woman like Ruan Chutang before. Any other woman, after having her ropes untied, would have either endured the humiliation of being violated or thrown herself from the building to end it all. He had considered both possibilities, but never once imagined she would charge at him with reckless abandon, fighting for her life... At this moment, Ruan Chutang was like a crazed lioness, her body brimming with inexhaustible strength. Fu Yuanzhou's men were all stunned, frozen in place, watching this thrilling and spectacular fight with wide eyes and gaping mouths. In all these years, no one had ever dared to engage their boss in such a brutal hand-to-hand fight. This woman truly had no fear of death. They all knew their boss had emerged from a deserted island and the Colosseum, and had undergone years of mercenary-style military training. Not to mention a woman—even they, men who regularly danced on the edge of a blade and had received professional training, wouldn't dare to fight Fu Yuanzhou. Though they all knew this woman was doomed to lose, the fight before them was a visual feast. It had been a long time since they'd witnessed such a spectacular brawl. Ruan Chutang attacked Fu Yuanzhou with vicious ferocity. When he kicked her to the ground, she grabbed a steel rebar nearby and swung it viciously at his head. Fu Yuanzhou dodged by tilting his head, then reached out and yanked the rebar toward himself with force. Ruan Chutang was pulled along with it, stumbling toward him. Just as she was about to hit the ground, she immediately released the rebar, steadied herself, and kicked upward toward Fu Yuanzhou's groin. Fu Yuanzhou froze. This woman... was she trying to kill him, or make sure he'd never have heirs? He had never seen this kind of fighting style before and was genuinely taken aback. He opened his mouth, about to say something, when Ruan Chutang suddenly lifted her head. Their eyes met. Fu Yuanzhou was shaken by the look in her eyes. Her gaze was filled with bloodthirsty madness. Completely consumed by the killing rage. Fu Yuanzhou dropped his previous nonchalant attitude and the mocking, disdainful smile on his face. That look was so familiar. Through Ruan Chutang's eyes, he seemed to see the young boy who had fought wild beasts to the death in the Colosseum years ago.
