She did not know why she was actually anticipating something .
She anticipated if he would be flare up after she still refused to leave with him after he had pushed all of the casino's chips in front of her . Would he directly take out a gun and kill her?
She had sworn never to commit suicide, but if he killed her, it did not concern her anymore .
In a flash, she thought about her baby . Unfortunately, she could not die yet . She habitually placed her hand on her lower abdomen and protected her child with a gentle posture .
Du Yunfeng was still hollering about something, but Xia Ling stopped paying attention a while ago . She quietly looked at the increasing pile of chips in front of her . The entire casino was alarmed, and everyone came to watch . Some people even started to persuade him against it, but due to his status, they did not dare to pull him away .
Until suddenly, a fist heavily punched him in the face .
The crowd was taken aback and dispersed .
The man who suddenly barged in did not speak . He attacked Du Yunfeng with continual punches and slammed him to the ground . However, the man did not stop there . Like a ferocious lion, he continued to attack him until he was half dead . As for Du Yunfeng, he immediately reacted and started fighting with the other man .
“Chairman Du! Chairman Pei! Stop fighting!” The casino manager anxiously urged them .
Xia Ling finally clearly saw who the man was . It turned out it was Pei Ziheng .
When did he come? She remembered that he forbade himself to step foot into a casino .
Xia Ling stood up and looked at Pei Ziheng . His appearance made her feel like he was a stranger . He was like a deranged, angry lion who only wanted to tear his enemy into pieces as he continued to punch Du Yunfeng's face and body . His blows were strong, and there was a dull sound with every punch .
She even heard the sound of bones breaking .
Only then did she realize that he was really being lenient when he imprisoned and tortured her that year .
The casino manager was about to go crazy . He called two security officers to pull Pei Ziheng away, but he had trained with the best personal trainers since a young age, and his fighting skills were top-notch . Raging, he was able to break away from the people trying to stop him .
“Stop fighting . If you continue fighting, someone might die!” The manager worriedly yelled .
The people in the surrounding crowd gradually changed their expressions . Some hesitated although they initially wanted to stop the fight . In the end, they shrank back at the sight of the crazily violent Pei Ziheng .
Jin Yifei quickly grabbed Xia Ling's wrist . “Xiao Ling, quickly advise him to stop . If this continues, someone will die!”
Xia Ling stumbled in front and said, “Pei Ziheng, stop fighting . ”
However, Pei Ziheng seemed to ignore her and continued to beat Du Yunfeng to death . Du Yunfeng's body was already curled up like a dried sea shrimp . He protected his head with his arms, trying to minimize the damage, but even Xia Ling could tell that he could not hold on for much longer .
The Du family's bodyguards arrived and rushed up to help him . At the start, they tried to pull Pei Ziheng away in futility . In the shoving, a bodyguard punched him very hard .
Pei Ziheng snorted, but he disregarded it and continued to punch Du Yunfeng's body relentlessly .
The bodyguard panicked . As he could not pull him away, he could only try his best to attack him . However, Pei Ziheng was on a rampage and only cared about beating Du Yunfeng to death . After a few rounds, Pei Ziheng was also wounded .
Xia Ling's face turned pale . If this continued, the consequences would be unspeakable .
After seeing the opponent's bodyguards hitting Pei Ziheng, without thinking much, she immediately rushed over and tried to stop the fight . In her past life when she was in the orphanage, she was a skilled fighter . A small girl like her could fight with a group of large boys without a problem . Furthermore, she later learned some self-defense techniques from Pei Ziheng .
She thought that stopping the fight would not be difficult .
However, at that moment, she forgot that she was now Ye Xingling and was pregnant . Her movements were cumbersome, and her moves and speed were not up to par . Not only did she fail to pull the few men who were fighting apart, someone heavily punched her shoulders . She gasped and was covered in cold sweat .
“Xiao Ling!” Pei Ziheng realized that something was not right . He let go of Du Yunfeng and immediately protected her in his arms .
After that, with murderous intent, he started to lunge at the bodyguard who accidentally hit her .
“Stop fighting!” Xia Ling resisted the pain and held him tightly . “Pei Ziheng, stop acting crazy!”
He did not speak as he still wanted to attack that bodyguard . However, in that instant, the surrounding people and bodyguards started to quickly protect Du Yunfeng and separated him from the other end of the casino .
Xia Ling held on to Pei Ziheng . Her shoulder was aching as she groaned in pain . “Take me to heal my injury… I think that my bones are broken . ”
Pei Ziheng looked coldly at Du Yunfeng one last time before carrying her and striding out of the casino .
He carried her back to their room and placed her on the deep blue silk satin bed . Then, he took off her shirt to reveal her injured shoulder . There was a large purple scar on her shoulders, darkening her pale skin . It was such a dreadful sight that even Xia Ling was shocked .
Pei Ziheng's expression darkened as he lightly and carefully touched her wound .
As she grimaced in pain, he immediately removed his hand .
“Does it hurt?”
Xia Ling nodded and looked at him in fear .
He gently said, “Tolerate it for a while . Let me see if you've hurt your bones . ” After that, he reached out even more carefully than before to check her injury .
Xia Ling did not dare to move or breathe as he carefully examined her body .
She was half undressed . The smooth skin that had not been exposed in front of him for a long time was unobstructed, and she could feel his breath brush against her face . His slightly rough fingers moved back and forth on her skin, giving her a sense of madness . Not only was there a sharp pain when he touched her wound, but it also reminded her of her tumultuous past, as if she could never escape and was plunged into a world of darkness and fear .
It was like a century passed .
He finally straightened his body . “Fortunately, you didn't hurt your bones . However, to ensure that nothing is wrong, I will take you for an X-ray when we go home . ”
Xia Ling was relieved and nodded .
He looked at her face . “Does it hurt a lot?”
Startled, Xia Ling frantically shook her head . It was not pain . She just did not know how to deal with his touch . Even though she knew that he was just checking the wound and not hurting her, she had already developed a deep and intrinsic fear of him .
He said, “Don't rush up in the future . What if you injure yourself?”
Xia Ling replied, “Ok . ” However, she understood that if it happened again, she would probably rush up as she did before . It was really depressing to think about it . No matter how much she feared him, once she saw him in danger, she could not be a bystander . Was this a sign of Stockholm Syndrome from the past? She did not know .
Pei Ziheng turned around and left . He made a room call and soon, he brought over a bottle of medication . “I'll apply the medication for you . ”
