Chapter 38: She Is My Wife—You Dare Touch Her?

Jiang Wan downed the entire bottle of wine in one go, then tilted the empty bottle toward the floor. She then fixed a steady gaze on Young Master Chen.

"I have finished the wine. I hope you will keep your word, Young Master Chen!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Wan felt a wave of dizziness wash over her; she could barely stand. Young Master Chen supported her, guiding her toward the bathroom.

"I have never failed to get a woman I wanted, and you won't escape my grasp either!"

Only then did Jiang Wan realize the wine must have been drugged.

"You... you..."

Before she could finish, she tried to dash toward the door, but her legs were weak and lacked strength.

"Hahaha! Today, I’ll see just how pure and noble the young lady of the Jiang family really is! Everyone, today, whoever is here gets a share!"

The surrounding wealthy socialites began to jeer and cheer.

Mid-sentence, Young Master Chen picked up a steak knife and slowly flicked open the top button of Jiang Wan’s blouse. In a split second, Jiang Wan snatched the knife from his hand, pressing it firmly against her own throat. She would rather die here than let these people have their way.

She cast a pleading look toward Jiang Yusheng, but he didn't even spare her a glance, continuing to hold a girl beside him, drinking and pawing at her.

Young Master Chen was not intimidated by Jiang Wan’s threat in the slightest. In this small Cloud City, he could strip anyone of the right to even live.

With a sharp rip, the majority of Jiang Wan's dress was torn away. Young Master Chen swallowed hard.

"Truly an irresistibly beautiful woman!"

"Hurry up, Young Master Chen! Just watching this has made me parched with desire!"

"Don't worry, you’ll all get a treat today. This figure is simply perfect!"

Jiang Wan tried to resist further, but her last shred of consciousness was fading away. Her eyes were filled with despair. Even the morning she discovered she had lost her virtue to Li Mu had not felt this hopeless.

"How dare you!"

A furious roar erupted from the doorway, followed by the sound of the room's door being shattered into pieces. A blur of movement dashed toward Young Master Chen, sending him flying with a single punch.

In an instant, an overwhelming murderous aura filled the room. Everyone fell silent; the private room became so quiet that one could hear a needle drop. Jiang Wan looked at the person before her with blurred vision.

"Li Mu? Why are you here?"

Li Mu looked at his wife in such a state, his heart aching as he pulled her into his arms.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here! Everyone in this room today will die!"

The temperature in the room plummeted. Li Mu stared at Young Master Chen on the floor with murderous intent. The man on the ground slowly stood up, his mouth covered in blood, yet he stared at Li Mu with disdain.

"So you're that beggar? How unexpected—it took no effort at all to find you! Today, I will make sure you die without a burial plot!"

Li Mu gave a cold hum. "You? Do you think you're worthy?"

With those words came two sharp slaps. Young Master Chen felt a sweetness in his throat, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.

At that moment, a dozen black-clad bodyguards swarmed the entrance. Two of them reached out to grab Li Mu’s shoulders.

"You brat, how dare you strike our Young Master! I think you're tired of living!"

Yet, before either of them could even see how Li Mu moved, they were sent flying backward. With a loud crash, the door to the neighboring room was smashed to pieces. The two bodyguards didn't stop until they slammed into the wall of the room next door.

The remaining bodyguards were stunned, but they continued to lash out at Li Mu. Li Mu swayed slightly, dodging their attacks, then launched himself into the air. With his feet moving in a blur, the dozen bodyguards were brought down in quick succession. Their internal organs were nearly shattered, and they spewed blood as they collapsed.

No one present could see how Li Mu had moved.

Another blur of motion, and he was suddenly in front of Young Master Chen, lifting him into the air with one hand.

"You dare to touch my woman?"

He threw a punch at Young Master Chen’s face; the man felt his nasal bone shatter. Blood gushed from his nose like a faucet, and he felt as if his brain had been turned to mush. How could this piece of trash possess such strength?

"Try touching our Young Master again!"

Just as the next punch was about to land, a roar came from the door. A massive man, two meters tall, walked into the room with heavy, thunderous footsteps. Seeing him, Young Master Chen wore a smug smile again.

"Today... *cough, cough*... I’ll teach you how to spell the word 'death'!"

Li Mu released his grip, and Young Master Chen fell to the floor. "Dealing with you later is fine too."

Li Mu turned his head toward the massive man. The thug was shirtless, his bulging muscles intimidating to behold. The complexions of everyone in the room shifted, yet they maintained the attitude of spectators waiting to see Li Mu get what was coming to him.

"That’s Young Master Chen’s secret bodyguard. No one has ever been able to defeat him!"

"This time, that trash is going to die for sure. Let him be arrogant."

"That’s right! Once he’s dead, the Jiang family heiress will be ours for the taking!"

However, just as they were about to clash, footsteps echoed from the hall.

"Who dares to cause trouble at the Emperor Club? Do you not know whose territory this is?"

Unexpectedly, the Emperor Club’s own security guards had mobilized, surrounding the room until it was impenetrable. Young Master Chen struggled to his feet, ignoring his pain.

"It’s him!"

It seemed he wouldn't even need his own man; the club’s security would beat this trash into a pulp!

The security captain walked in, but when his eyes landed on Li Mu, he gasped in shock. Wasn't this the new owner who had just taken over the club?

"Mr... Mr. Li!"

Mr. Li? What was going on?

Li Mu simply clapped his hands. Given Jiang Wan’s current state, it was not the time to linger; he would spare the man surnamed Chen for now.

"I leave this place to you. I don't want to see him appear anywhere in Cloud City again!"

The security captain nodded respectfully. Li Mu carried Jiang Wan out of the Emperor Club, leaving behind the wails of agony echoing from the private room.

Jiang Wan did not know how long she had slept before slowly opening her eyes. She suddenly remembered yesterday's events and, upon lifting the blanket to find her clothes intact, let out a long sigh of relief. She vaguely recalled that it was Li Mu who had appeared to save her.

She scanned her surroundings and realized she was back home, but Li Mu was nowhere to be seen. Could it have been an illusion?

"You're awake?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the window.
