Chapter 40: How Could He Lay a Hand on Such a Delicate Young Lady?
Before Lin Feng could react, his hands were again restrained...
Aunt Wang rushed over, her face full of anxiety. "Miss, are you alright? Are you hurt?!"
Chu Lingshuang gulped down fresh air, her face, red from suffocation, gradually regained its color.
She rubbed her neck, her gaze sharp as a blade, and shouted sternly, "All of you, get out!"
Several men in black burst out from the adjacent room.
Chu Lingshuang's eyes were icy, her voice as cold as death. "Take him to Level Minus Two."
Just as Lin Feng reached for the slender fork on the coffee table, his body was forced down.
Two burly men pinned his shoulders, pushing him toward the elevator!
If his hands weren't shackled, he could have fought these bodyguards, but with his wrists locked in handcuffs, his combat ability was drastically reduced.
He hadn't intended to truly harm her—just to scare her—but seeing her provocative look, he lost control of himself.
Now he was in trouble!
Lin Feng clenched his teeth, exerted force with his hands, and bent one prong of the fork, gripping it tightly in his palm.
As the elevator doors opened, he saw for the first time the floor layout of Lakeview Manor.
Five stories in total, plus a basement Level Minus One and Level Minus Two.
He watched as the men beside him pressed the button for Level Minus Two.
The elevator shuddered, then descended. When the doors opened, he glimpsed a heavy metal gate!
The lead man drew a card from his belt and swiped it across the reader.
The door opened. Before Lin Feng could take in the interior, he felt a forceful shove to his back, stumbling into the room.
The next moment—
The lights flicked on!
When his eyes adjusted and he saw what hung on the walls, Lin Feng froze!
Those objects...
This woman... she truly is insane!
Who would build such a chamber in their own home?!
Lin Feng's eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
Before he could examine further, his body was pressed down again.
Two men in black pinned him against the wall.
No!
He had to escape!
Lin Feng quickly glanced up, counting the number of people before him. Even if he dealt with these men and made it upstairs, Chu Lingshuang could send out more—who knew how many.
These few were manageable, but if reinforcements came, he'd be nothing more than a trapped beast...
Wait...
His gaze fell on the elevator doors. If his guess was right, Level Minus One was the underground garage he'd been searching for these past days!
These men should at least have a car key somewhere...
Narrowing his eyes, Lin Feng calculated. The two who opened the gate still stood near the entrance. Feeling the iron chain being looped around his ankle, he decided he could wait no longer.
As one of the men bent down to secure the chain, Lin Feng gripped the fork tightly and lunged, stabbing at the exposed neck of the man standing nearby!
The fork might not be sharp enough, but his resistance was fueled by desperation!
The man hadn't even realized what was happening before a scream burst from his throat.
"Ah!!"
Clutching his neck, he stared at Lin Feng in disbelief as blood seeped through his fingers.
The crouching man raised his head to see what was going on, but in that instant, Lin Feng delivered a flying kick to his back!
Within seconds, the two men at his side were incapacitated.
Two remained by the door!
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, grabbed a wooden baton from the wall, and charged, swinging it at one man's head with all his might.
A resounding crack!
Three out of four burly men were down!
The last one stared at Lin Feng in shock.
Lin Feng, blood splattered across his face, held the baton, grinning like a demon risen from hell. "Will you lie down yourself, or do you want me to help?"
The man in black said nothing, locking eyes with Lin Feng. He snatched up a baton and charged at him!
Lin Feng sidestepped, raised his own baton, and struck hard across the man's back.
Then, a swift kick sent the man sprawling!
The man in black had never expected Lin Feng's strength—after only two blows, he collapsed, unable to rise!
He fumbled for a stun baton, aiming to shock Lin Feng's ankle, but Lin Feng was faster, stomping down on his wrist.
In the next instant, Lin Feng brought the baton down on the back of the man's head, plunging him into darkness.
With all four opponents vanquished, Lin Feng finally exhaled in relief!
But there was no time to waste. Chu Lingshuang could descend at any moment.
That woman was armed.
He crouched quickly, searching the body of the man who opened the gate, and found a car key.
Without delay, he pressed the elevator button and went up to Level Minus One.
As the elevator doors opened, Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief—he'd been correct: Level Minus One was the underground garage.
Pressing the car key, he followed the sound to locate the vehicle, got in, and started the engine!
Having lived here these days, he knew the route from Lakeview Manor's villa to the main gate like the back of his hand!
He found the exit easily!
He paid no heed to the barricade blocking the gate; stomping the accelerator, he sped forward like an arrow loosed from a bow...
...
"Miss, if it hurts, please cry out—don't hold it in..."
Aunt Wang clutched a warm towel, carefully wiping Chu Lingshuang's neck.
When had the young miss ever suffered such harm? Especially with her delicate skin, as tender as egg white, now marred by a ligature mark...
The sight was so alarming that Aunt Wang's eyes brimmed with tears of distress!
That man was utterly too much!
How could he lay hands on her when she was so fragile...
Chu Lingshuang's face remained cold and impassive, her lips pressed tightly together, eyes filled with fury.
Damn it!
She hadn't expected that, in broad daylight, Lin Feng would dare...
It seemed that after letting him out for a few days of work, he'd grown wild at heart...
