He quickened his pace to keep up, descending the spiral staircase with Shen Cheng—
The inner hall was astonishingly large, easily hundreds of square meters.
The decor and furnishings inside were meticulously arranged.
The murals on the wall were the final masterpieces of world-class painters, worth eight figures.
The floor was covered with transparent glass bricks, under which diamonds gleamed at intervals.
Above the inner hall hung a huge crystal chandelier, its lights on, emanating a dazzling glow.
Shi Yu sat on the sofa, elegantly resting his legs on the expensive coffee table, holding a cigar between his index and middle finger, letting it burn out without taking a single puff.
He was like an emperor high above, with an unstoppable aura in every action.
However, Cai Quan sitting opposite him seemed like a insignificant ant, so lowly as if he did not exist.
Moving lazily to extinguish the cigar in the ashtray, Shi Yu finally gave Cai Quan a direct look.
Hearing his command, the subordinate standing upright beside promptly untied the ropes binding Cai Quan and removed the gag from his mouth.
Cai Quan had not seen much of the world; in his eyes, a village house of a hundred square meters was already extreme. Suddenly being placed in such a spacious environment, he felt nothing but shock and confusion.
Before he was captured, no matter how much he asked, no one would tell him who wanted to see him.
He did not expect it to be such a young man.
And judging by the looks of it, a wealthy person he rarely encountered.
He did not remember offending this man, so why would he capture him and bring him here?
Cai Quan looked around, then set his eyes on Shi Yu warily, "Who are you? What do you want with me here..."
Shi Yu showed no intention of answering his question. He sprawled his hands on the sofa, that lazy and casual posture adding a touch of wild and unrestrained handsomeness.
"We have no grievances nor grudges, nothing between us, so what exactly did you bring me here for..." Cai Quan’s voice had no strength behind it.
At this point, probably anyone would react the same, it’s just that Shi Yu’s presence was too overwhelming.
Not just Cai Quan, but even others with status and background would have to bow and scrape in front of Shi Yu.
"You and I indeed have no feuds, but I’ve heard that my woman has a bit of a grudge with you."
His slender fingers gently traced the texture of the leather sofa, that indifferent manner, and his seemingly casual tone, but it was like the calm before the impending storm.
Cai Quan froze, "Your woman?"
Over the years, he had stayed in the village without ever traveling far; even if he had had conflicts, they were only with people from Taohua Village, and it was impossible for him to offend some rich person in the big city.
"I think you’ve got the wrong person, I haven’t offended anyone, nor do I know your woman..."
As if he heard a joke, Shi Yu’s lips curled up, letting out a snicker, "You’re so sure you don’t recognize her without even having met her?"
Though he was smiling, it made Cai Quan’s scalp tingle, as if a cold chill was rising from his feet, pressing straight to his heart, so oppressive that he could hardly breathe.
Only then did Cai Quan connect Shi Yu’s words with the photo Sun Yan had shown him at home.
Suddenly, a strong unease rose from the bottom of his heart.
