Su Ruanruan was left speechless.
Is this what he’s showing her?
Bao Jingyan chuckled lightly: "Ruanruan, I am a civilized man."
The man, bound and furious, cursed: "Bao, if you’re civilized, then there are no more vile creatures left!"
A look of surprise crossed Bao Jingyan’s face: "What’s uncivilized about me? Come on, say it out loud for everyone to hear."
The man’s face was full of injuries, now flushing with dark red.
He stammered, unable to spit out a word.
How could he voice such a humiliating thing?
Seeing his state, Bao Jingyan laughed inwardly.
He sprawled comfortably in his chair, eyeing the man: "If you won’t talk, I’ll do it for you."
"Bao, I’m going to kill you," the man’s face turned beet red as he struggled violently.
Bao Jingyan laughed softly: "Be careful not to chafe!"
He turned his head, jokingly speaking to Su Ruanruan: "Otherwise, someone will say I’m brutal again later."
Su Ruanruan did not touch the apple.
In such an environment, only Bao Jingyan could remain so carefree.
She asked the man softly, "What has he done to you?"
The man, breathing heavily, turned his coarse face to the side.
His neck was all red.
Su Ruanruan turned to Bao Jingyan: "He’s very afraid of you!"
"Oh?" Bao Jingyan played with the tip of the knife, raising his stylish eyebrow.
He struck up a domestic conversation with Su Ruanruan: "That spicy crab we had last time was good, want to eat it again?"
Su Ruanruan shook her head, then nodded.
The bound man’s Adam’s apple bobbed.
Bao Jingyan smiled: "Don’t worry, I’ll have a bowl sent over to you shortly."
"You would be that kind-hearted?" the man asked doubtfully.
Su Ruanruan didn’t believe it either.
But Bao Jingyan replied: "You have to eat well to continue being tortured by me."
The man was so angry he could spit blood.
Bao Jingyan stared into his eyes and suddenly said, "Do you know how that dish is made?"
The man’s voice was rough: "It all boils down to the knife work."
"Correct!" Bao Jingyan stroked his chin, smiling, revealing a set of nice white teeth: "You seem to have some brains and guts after all."
"Cut the crap! Kill or slash as you please, just spare me this nonsense!"
Bao Jingyan stood up and walked to the man’s side.
As he approached, the man’s body tensed.
He feared Bao Jingyan’s methods.
"How could I neglect Ninth Master’s man?" Bao Jingyan bent down, speaking very politely.
He seemed to remember what he was going to say earlier: "Right! To make this spicy crab, you need to chop off the eight claws one by one, then split open the head right in the middle... Only then will it absorb the flavor as it cooks."
He added: "You have to cut quickly, otherwise the crab roe will spill everywhere and you lose the freshness."
His voice was soft, his description downright chilling.
Not just the man, but even Su Ruanruan felt disgusted.
She wanted to say something but held back.
The man’s body shook, and he stubbornly retorted: "Bao, if I as much as frown, then I’m no hero."
"I am aware of your loyalty and ability!" Bao Jingyan patted his shoulder, extra friendly: "However, you have a sister, don’t you? How about I invite her over to dish?"
After a moment, he screamed: "Bao, I want your life!"
Bao Jingyan chuckled: "Qin Chao, can you still move?"
Qin Chao breathed heavily, his eyes bloodshot, almost bulging out.
"The young lady’s skin is tender, she won’t endure pain like a man." Bao Jingyan dusted off his pants: "As you know, I have limited patience."
A pen and paper were thrown in front of the man.
