Love is as vast as the Milky Way, impossible to cross.

Chapter 308 I'm here today to settle things with you.

"I'm going to take a shower, I'll be right back, okay?"

Huo Muchen gently kissed Liu Shiyin's forehead, then got up and walked towards the bathroom.

Huo Muchen entered the bathroom, and the sound of running water quickly filled the air. He knew that Liu Shiyin was still lying quietly in bed waiting for him. He finished showering as quickly as possible, put on his pajamas, and left the bathroom.

Upon entering the bedroom, he saw that Liu Shiyin still had her eyes open, with a hint of weariness and unease on her face. He gently walked to the bedside, sat down, and then tenderly embraced her.

"You must have been terrified today?"

Huo Muchen stroked her hair and asked softly.

"Ah."

Liu Shiyin's voice trembled slightly as she nestled tightly in Huo Muchen's arms and nodded.

"Don't be afraid, baby. This will never happen again, I promise."

His voice was firm and strong. Liu Shiyin gradually relaxed in Huo Muchen's embrace. She closed her eyes, feeling the warmth and security, and drifted off to sleep to Huo Muchen's soft murmurs...

"Are you tired of living?"

Huo Muchen stood in the dark, ruined factory, his eyes as deep and cold as frozen lake water.

Chen Xiaoliang was tightly bound to a dilapidated wooden chair, his face filled with terror and despair.

Huo Muchen stared silently at Chen Xiaoliang, a cold smile playing on his lips, as if he were enjoying his fear.

Chen Xiaoliang's lips trembled as he tried to speak, but Huo Muchen didn't wait for his reply. He suddenly raised the whip in his hand and lashed it hard across Chen Xiaoliang's body.

Chen Xiaoliang screamed, his body trembling violently, as if all his strength had been drained away.

Huo Muchen did not stop; he continued to wield the whip, each strike landing precisely on Chen Xiaoliang.

A cold light gleamed in his eyes, as if he were enjoying this cruel pleasure.

Chen Xiaoliang's clothes were tattered from the whipping, and his skin was covered with bloodstains and wounds. He groaned in pain, his voice hoarse and weak.

But Huo Muchen showed no pity or sympathy. He continued to torture Chen Xiaoliang until he completely broke down, and only then did he finally stop.

Huo Muchen looked at Chen Xiaoliang, who was already on the verge of death, and smiled coldly:

"Where did you get the audacity to bully my woman, Huo Muchen, again and again?"

Chen Xiaoliang trembled even more violently under Huo Muchen's gaze.

"Have mercy, Young Master Huo! I was deceived! I met a woman at a bar who told me she was your girlfriend and that you and Miss Liu had broken up. I... I believed her lies and did those wrong things. Young Master Huo, I really know I was wrong, please forgive me this time!"

"What woman? What's her name?"

Huo Muchen's gaze grew even colder as he listened to Chen Xiaoliang's explanation. He slowly asked,

"I...I don't know, but she looks somewhat similar to Miss Liu,"

Chen Xiaoliang dared not look Huo Muchen in the eye and lowered his head to say,

Upon hearing this, Huo Muchen instantly understood who was behind it all.

His eyes sharpened, and he gave a subtle wink. The bodyguard beside him immediately understood and quickly handed him a sharp dagger.

Huo Muchen took the dagger, twirling it lightly in his hand, its gleam sending a chill down his spine. He stared coldly at Chen Xiaoliang, as if looking at a prisoner about to be sentenced to death:

"You scumbag who can't control his lower body, I'm here today to put an end to you, so you won't continue to harm other girls in the future."
