Chapter 83: 083 How about… you set the fire?
When he saw the contents inside, his expression was like the sky before a storm.
His angular face was devoid of any warmth, his brows frosted with a bone-chilling coldness that seemed to turn even the air into shards of ice.
Inside the box lay a gruesomely eviscerated rat, its organs neatly arranged to one side, the blood staining the interior of the box red. Beneath the rat’s carcass lay a card.
Fu Qiyuan’s well-defined fingers pulled out the card, revealing five bright red characters.
His pitch-black eyes remained fixed on the card, not a flicker of expression crossing his handsome face, yet Su Ran found him far more terrifying now than if he were in a raging fury.
He looked on for a long moment, his bottomless eyes gradually taking on a chilling malevolence and sinister intent, his aura of cruel bloodthirstiness exploding forth.
Su Ran felt a twinge of fear; she had never seen Fu Qiyuan before.
She watched as the man took out his phone, and sensing something was amiss, she grabbed his hand.
Fu Qiyuan lifted his gaze slightly. His deep, dark eyes were cold as a blade. Su Ran’s heart stuttered when she met his gaze, her hands instinctively tightening, and the words she was about to say choked her, struggling to come out.
But the next moment, as his gaze touched upon the girl’s figure, the harsh light in his black eyes discreetly faded away.
He held Su Ran’s hand, his gaze fixed intently on her face as he asked softly.
Su Ran let out a breath of relief and stepped forward, taking the phone from his hand.
She approached him, placed the card from his hand back into the box, and covered it.
“No need to check, I have a pretty good idea who it is.”
The people who bore a grudge against her were only a handful.
Looking at the girl’s unsurprised expression, Fu Qiyuan narrowed his eyes.
“You knew all along.”
At his words, Su Ran was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head.
She could not predict the future, however grand her powers might be.
But she had guessed a little.
Over the years, she had seen every kind of trick there was.
“Leave this matter to me, I have plans. There are some debts that I must settle with my own hands.”
Fu Qiyuan looked at her intently.
Su Ran raised her head to meet the man’s profound and shadowy gaze.
“If I could only stand by and watch you get bullied, what right would I have to pursue you?”
Su Ran’s eyes flickered, lost in thought for a moment.
“How about… you set a fire?”
Fu Qiyuan was momentarily taken aback, then laughed softly.
He looked at her, helplessly and affectionately.
Su Ran curved her lips into a smile, then heard the man continue.
“You can handle it yourself, but I’m worried about your safety. I will arrange two bodyguards for you; they’ll only be responsible for your safety, won’t show up unless necessary, and won’t affect your life. You’re not allowed to refuse.”
Not allowed to refuse?
He had said everything there was to say; what could she possibly add?
The man rubbed her head, his tone somewhat helpless.
“Be good, don’t worry me.”
The helplessness in his voice made Su Ran’s heart tremble slightly, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a bit sour.
She nodded and said softly:
Fu Qiyuan was satisfied.
“Go change your clothes; I’ll take you to the company.”
At his words, Su Ran instinctively looked down and saw that she was still in her pajamas.
A trace of embarrassment flitted across her face.
