The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 177

Chapter 177: Chapter 177

Although Si Lin didn’t know how Luoxia had offended Fu Youhan, in order to disassociate himself as quickly as possible, he still entrusted Ye Chen to set up a meeting at Night Color to call Fu Youhan over.

In fact, as soon as Fu Youhan heard that Si Lin had asked Ye Chen to find him, he knew it was about Luoxia.

However, after Fu Youhan entered the private room, he still kept a low profile.

"Why do you have the leisure to call us out for drinks tonight?"

Fu Youhan’s eyes were calm as an ancient well as he watched, but upon closer scrutiny, one could still feel the sharpness hidden beneath.

Even knowing that Fu Youhan was pretending, Si Lin still had Yuan Zhou come forward and light a cigar for Fu Youhan.

"Third Master Fu, let’s not beat around the bush. I called you out to talk about Luoxia."

Si Lin got straight to the point as soon as he saw Fu Youhan smoking the cigar.

Ye Chen’s gaze wandered between Fu Youhan and Si Lin. Although he was somewhat confused about the situation, he quickly played the role of intermediary.

"Is Young Master Si joking? Isn’t Luoxia your girlfriend? Why are you asking Brother Han for her?"

"It’s a question for Third Master Fu," Si Lin said, staring directly at Fu Youhan.

Ye Chen also looked puzzled at Fu Youhan.

Could it be that he was so lonely after breaking up with Jiang Moxi that he found a stand-in for Luoxia?

After exhaling a deep puff of smoke, Fu Youhan spoke plainly: "Indeed, I have detained her, but ultimately, this all started with you, Young Master Si!"

Ye Chen immediately turned his gossipy gaze back to Si Lin.

Damn, these two, who could cause quite a stir in Yan City with a mere stomp, were actually secretly clashing?

Fu Youhan even took Si Lin’s new girlfriend Luoxia?

What sort of grudge was this?

"What do you mean?" Si Lin raised an eyebrow.

"If you hadn’t rented Four Seasons Cloud Top’s house to Moxi, none of this would have happened."

Fu Youhan’s words also made Ye Chen’s expression change slightly.

So this incident was because of Jiang Moxi?

If that’s the case, given Fu Youhan’s attention to Jiang Moxi recently, Luoxia is likely in for an unpleasant outcome.

Upon hearing Fu Youhan mention Jiang Moxi, Si Lin’s deep eyes suddenly turned threatening and chilling.

"She did something to Jiang Moxi? Is Jiang Moxi hurt? Where did she get injured?"

And when Ye Chen saw Si Lin’s concerned reaction for Jiang Moxi, he was even more surprised.

Although Si Lin had previously joked in front of them, claiming Jiang Moxi to be his girlfriend, they all knew Si Lin couldn’t possibly truly like Jiang Moxi.

But now, Si Lin’s anxious behavior upon hearing that Jiang Moxi might have been harmed by Luoxia...

This made it hard for Ye Chen not to suspect that Si Lin might genuinely have feelings for her.

And seeing Si Lin so excessively concerned about Jiang Moxi agitated Fu Youhan as well.

So he bluntly said: "This has nothing to do with you. Since you want to take Luoxia away, then take good care of her! If she appears before me again, the punishment won’t be just this!"

After signaling Chi Jing to tell Si Lin the address, Fu Youhan maneuvered his wheelchair to leave.

Seeing this, Ye Chen quickly followed.

In a blink, Fu Youhan arrived at the underground parking lot of Night Color.

Ye Chen caught up and leaned against the car to ask Fu Youhan, "Xiao Moxi hasn’t been hurt, right?"

With Ye Chen’s understanding of Fu Youhan, if Luoxia had really hurt Jiang Moxi, Si Lin probably wouldn’t even receive the corpse.

Fu Youhan neatly stowed the wheelchair in the trunk and got into the driver’s seat. Buckling the seatbelt, he replied.

"No, she’s been taken back."

The answer was as Ye Chen had guessed, so he just reminded Fu Youhan:

"I feel like Si Lin’s reaction was off. If you really like Xiao Moxi, you should keep a closer eye on her."

"Got it." After Fu Youhan agreed, he slammed down the accelerator and the car sped away like an arrow...

*

When Si Lin and his men arrived at the abandoned factory where Luoxia was, both Fu Youhan’s subordinates and the people previously hired by Luoxia had already withdrawn.

The factory was filled with the stench of earth and some secretions mixed together, enough to make one feel nauseous.

They searched around the factory but could not find the once glamorous woman.

Instead, in a corner, they discovered a woman with uneven hair, scantily clad, and filthy all over her body.

As soon as the woman saw Si Lin, she quickly threw herself at him.

"Si Lin, you finally came. I knew you wouldn’t ignore me!"

"Luoxia?"

Si Lin recognized Luoxia.

But whether it was the sight of the woman’s frantic appearance that startled him or the stench emanating from her, he quickly stepped back several paces.

Yuan Zhou and the others saw Si Lin dodging and quickly stepped forward to control the woman, preventing her from getting any closer to Si Lin.

Luoxia was restrained, unable to approach Si Lin, and her voice became even more wretched.

"Si Lin, it was Jiang Moxi and Third Master Fu who conspired to ruin me like this, you have to help me get revenge!"

These past few days, every day was like living in a living hell for her, being violated by a dozen men, and even the process was filmed.

She had broken down mentally countless times; if she hadn’t been fixated on vengeance, she would have already killed herself due to the humiliation.

But Si Lin seemed oblivious to her nearly uncontrollable state and only after covering his nose with the pocket square from his suit did he coldly look at her.

"What exactly did you do to Jiang Moxi?"

Before searching for Luoxia, Si Lin had already sent people to inquire about Jiang Moxi’s situation.

But whether it was intentional protection by Fu Youhan, Si Lin’s men couldn’t get any sight of Jiang Moxi, which made him even more anxious and restless.

Luoxia did not expect that after disappearing for so many days, the first thing Si Lin asked upon seeing her was still about Jiang Moxi.

At that moment, she nearly lost control and yelled, "I didn’t do anything, I..."

But before she could finish her shout, Si Lin slapped her, "Speak properly!"

Dazed from the slap, Luoxia soon obediently confessed everything about having someone teach Jiang Moxi a lesson after finding out she moved into his apartment, only to end up being brutally tortured by Jiang Moxi instead.

After listening to Luoxia’s story, a true smile finally appeared on Si Lin’s face, and he murmured, "As long as she’s not hurt, that’s good."

"Si Lin, are you mistaken? I’m the one being persecuted right now, and I’m your girlfriend! You’re concerned about the person persecuting me, did your conscience get eaten by a dog?"

Luoxia’s rant made Si Lin suddenly let out a devilishly charming smile.

"You’re at most someone who tried to be a rapist but ended up getting turned over. What victim are you playing?"

If Jiang Moxi didn’t have the capability to protect herself, this would have been her end!

So Si Lin felt no sympathy for Luoxia at all.

"You’re so unfairly biased towards Jiang Moxi, you couldn’t possibly have fallen for her, could you?"

Luoxia was outraged and spat out the challenge.

But to her astonishment, upon hearing these words, Si Lin froze for several seconds before speaking with thoughtful and significant intonation, "So unabashed favoritism is love, huh?"

"Si Lin?" Seeing Si Lin seriously considering this question, Luoxia started to panic.

But at this moment, Si Lin suddenly looked at her, his eyes deep with a bone-chilling coldness.

"Looking at it this way, since you hurt the person I like, it’s only right that I can’t let you off easily!"

"No, I was just talking nonsense just then, I..." Luoxia wanted to say something.

But Si Lin didn’t give her a chance to finish her sentence and looked straight at Yuan Zhou.

"Take her to the nearby psychiatric hospital. I want her to live a life worse than death there."
