Chapter 280: Trembling

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lima’s cry for help was sharp and piercing to the ear.
It felt like sounds of glasses that were suddenly broken and glided through their ears.
Salimu was the youngest among them. He was trying very hard to control himself as he couldn’t stand what was happening in front of him. His fingers gripped the stool so tightly as though he had made some dent on it.
Bai Muchuan, Tu Liang, and Ding Yifan had all been with the police force for years.
They were more experienced and thus able to hold their ground.
They only looked on, and could only look on.
Watching the woman cry, seeing her in distress, and hearing her scream…
They showed no reaction.
A couple of Brother Steel’s men were thrilled and their cackles filled the whole room. That felt like a vicious snake that tangled around people’s heart.
Lima screamed desperately!
“Save me!”
“Please! I beg of you!”
“Save me! Ah!”
Brother Steel’s expression could visibly be seen to have deformed under the excitement.
“Do it!”
“Make this b*tch die!”
“Do it!”
His shouts were extremely vulgar.
Brother Steel could not lay on the chair anymore. He sat up on the chair as he shouted commands to his men.
Oh, the screaming, crying, and shouting sounds! The living room which was furnished with the elegant rosewood furniture had now turned into a crime scene.
“Save me!”
Lima’s hair was now in a mess from the struggling.
As she struggled with the men, she turned around, her eyes were wide-opened as she stared at Bai Muchuan.
“Save, me!”
This time, it no longer sounded like begging.
Instead, it sounded more like a threat.
That night at the hotpot restaurant, she had heard everything.
Bai Muchuan looked at her eyes. Nevertheless, he didn’t move. It was as though he was made of stone as he ignored her pleas.
Gradually, Lima’s eyes started to look gloomy…
Brother Steel looked toward Bai Muchuan and took a big puff from his smoking pipe. “Cut her clothes!”
“Cut, cut!”
The excited men chanted in unison. They had no intention to leave or back off.
They stood there in front of Brother Steel.
They also stood there in front of Bai Muchuan and his team.
They were a group of people in the midst of committing evil.
A pair of sharp scissors appeared right in front of Lima as they used the scissors to start cutting from her collar!
“Ah!”
Lima gave off a loud shriek as her clothes were being cut!
She did not dare to struggle too rigorously at this moment but stared at Bai Muchuan instead.
She was murmuring about something as she struggled and continued to scream for help, “Save me, save me!”
Salimu closed his eyes.
He could not bear to watch the scene before him. He did not want to see it, either. A burning rage was slowly building up inside him.
Bai Muchuan continued to look at Brother Steel with a poker face.
Of course, Brother Steel was also looking at him.
It was like a match to see who would be the first to open their mouth.
Flop! The bright-colored costume of Lima fell off from her body and onto the floor.
It was not loud at all but it felt like a stone had hit the heart and was full of terror.
AH! A shrill cry was heard!
Apparently, that seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel’s back. Lima’s limit had also been broken by that pair of scissors. Her eyes were now red and her tears were flowing down her cheeks vigorously like a river.
“You are the police! You should save me!”
“You are the police!”
“You are the police!”
“Save me, you are the police!”
The police!
The police!
These words kept repeating inside Salimu’s heart.
At that instant, he got up from his stool and glared at Brother Steel aggressively.
“Let her go! You bunch of b*stards—let her go!”
Silence filled the living room.
Brother Steel looked at the impulsive young chap as his mouth curved into an evil grin.
“Little friend, what did you say? Can you repeat that again?”
“Sit down!” Without waiting for Salimu to speak, Bai Muchuan suddenly reprimanded him coldly.
Just before they set off, they had been told about the rules and discipline.
Yes. In fact, Bai Muchuan repeated the rules many times.
Everybody had to listen and obey orders. Nobody was allowed to take matters into his own hands.
Salimu was the youngest of them all. Bai Muchuan had repeatedly emphasized to him and even made him repeat what he told him multiple times.
At that moment, Salimu was pressurized by the numerous repeats of the word “police” so much so that he was almost out of breath.
With Bai Muchuan’s stern shout, he immediately became sober.
“Brother Crown Prince, they’re humiliating you!”
The fire within Salimu was burning fiercely. He roared these words from his mouth as he panted in anger.
His eyes were still staring at Brother Steel angrily but had now become a show of protest.
“He used a woman to humiliate you! He did it on purpose, right in front of you!”
“I know.” Bai Muchuan glanced at him indifferently. “You sit down first!”
He ordered him to sit down again.
He didn’t say anything else. There was no scolding or anger in his tone.
Salimu’s fury was like a balloon that got deflated by a needle.
“Orh—-”
A smile could be seen forming on Bai Muchuan’s face as he watched him sitting back down again.
“Brother Steel!” He asked, “What is this show about? A live performance?”
What Lima had shouted earlier, as well as what Salimu’s had said, Brother Steel had heard them clearly.
He did not say a word but was actually enjoying their reaction in silence.
Now with Bai Muchuan’s direct questioning, he laughed and knocked his smoking pipe against his chair.
“D*mmit!” he shouted suddenly.
And he gave his men an angry look.
“Don’t all of you know to gag her mouth? How can all of you just let her scream? Don’t you know it’ll make others uncomfortable?”
He totally did not mention Lima’s “accusation” on Bai Muchuan and team, completely ignoring it.
“Brother Crown Prince!” After Brother Steel told off his men, he turned to Bai Muchuan with a more pleasant expression. He even exhibited a little bit of kindness. “It’s actually our rules here, you don’t have to take it to heart! For people who are disobedient, she has to be punished!”
“Hur!” Bai Muchuan’s expression seemed cold but his tone was indifferent.
“Brother Steel’s way of giving punishment is an eye-opener. My younger brother here doesn’t know a thing. He even thought that you’re trying to take us down a notch!”
“Is that so?” Brother Steel frowned as he pondered over it, as though he had just realized what his action had caused. “So what I did earlier was inappropriate?”
Brother Steel definitely deserves a prize from the Oscars.
Bai Muchuan gave a shrug. “Please go ahead!”
His expression told Brother Steel that he didn’t mind it at all.
He also let Brother Steel realize that he could do anything he liked as Lima was a present given to him by his own men. Therefore, it was none of Bai Muchuan’s business.
However, Brother Steel seemed to have lost interest in continuing the “live performance”.
He raised his hand and waved at his men, indicating them to let go of Lima.
“It’s indeed inappropriate.” He mumbled to himself and nodded his head. The next moment, he seemed to have thought of something interesting. “Why don’t we change to something gentler?”
The smile that he wore on his face looked really gentle!
On the contrary, Lima shivered when she heard the word “gentle” from Brother Steel’s mouth.
Now that she was free, she kneeled down weakly and begged. “Brother Steel, please let me off… let me tell you, these people are the police. They are the police…”
“You’ve already said that, and I’ve already heard it.” Brother Steel showed an amused expression and shrugged his shoulders. “Well, I don’t believe you.”
“…” Lima’s eyes suddenly dimmed and seemed dispirited.
“I’ve thought of something fun.” Brother Steel’s vision went past Lima and landed on Bai Muchuan’s face. “Brother Crown Prince, have you heard about the case in Xi City?”
“Xi City?” Bai Muchuan seemed to be ruminating over his words.
“It’s that spooky case that is still unsolved—” Brother Steel added.
Bai Muchuan hesitated for more than 10 seconds before he gave a reply, “I’ve heard a little about it.”
“Hahahaha, me too!”
Brother Steel laughed heartily. His voice sounded so muffled like the cooking meat inside the wok with the lid on.
“I’ve heard that women love this kind of game. Even before their death, they expressed that… there was a pleasure of dying… I wonder if you will get that same feeling?”
He said this to the kneeling Lima, lowering his head as he looked at her coldly. A cold glint flashed past his eyes.
“No… Please don’t!”
Lima was soon tongue-tied.
Her face was ghastly pale by now.
Two men, under the instructions of Brother Steel, took Lima’s arms as they pulled her up.
There was a puddle of water on the floor.
… Did she urinate?
The smell of ammonia rushed toward their nose.
Brother Steel cackled loudly in amusement.
His men also joined in the laughter. Lima was as though a broken doll in their hands.
After they finished laughing…
The living room was filled with silence once again.
Lima didn’t scream or cry this time. Her head drooped lifelessly as though she had lost hope.
Her body was arched like a prawn. Her slender figure looked as though her soul had been pulled out of her body.
She had lost her freedom once more.
The men got a rope and tied her hands behind her back. They took her bra and stuffed it into her mouth… just like the 121 case.
Salimu’s hands were trembling.
It was as if he had witnessed something terrifying…
But he daren’t open his mouth this time. He didn’t dare to move, either. He didn’t know Bai Muchuan’s thoughts and daren’t hope if this could be stopped.
This is too perverted. They’re inhumane!
He wanted to save her but was worried he might cause something worse to happen.
The veins on his forehead were bulging nervously. Beads of cold sweat formed on his forehead.
“Wait a minute!” The one who spoke was Bai Muchuan.
It was sudden but he looked really calm.
He had spoken just at the moment when they tied the bra strap around Lima’s neck.
“I’ll take her!” Bai Muchuan looked at Brother Steel. The corners of his mouth lifted upward to reveal a sinister grin.
Brother Steel tilted his head. “Oh?”
A second later, he laughed loudly. “Brother Crown Prince, why the sudden change of heart?”
Bai Muchuan squinted his eyes lazily as he scanned Lima’s body in one glance. “She’s got a nice figure!”
“Hahahaha! I’ve already said so earlier… You simply have to see it for yourself?” Brother Steel seemed to buy Bai Muchuan’s words. He waved to instruct his men to let go of Lima. “Bring her down for a wash. Make sure she’s clean before we bring her to Brother Crown Prince!”
