Chapter 315: Brownish-Red Eyes, Floating On The Surface (Bonus Chapter For Strawberry Flavored Child ⑧)
Struggling, resisting, Chu Lingfeng tried to shake off the guards holding him down, but these guards were all under the command of that security captain.
The captain had already sided with Si Chen, and with Si Zhenliu giving the order, how could they let Chu Lingfeng escape?
One of the guards, a suave man with a buzz cut, noticed Chu Lingfeng's strength. He walked behind Chu Lingfeng and kicked him in the back of the knee.
With a "crack" sound, like a bone breaking, a painful scream erupted, and Chu Lingfeng fell to his knees.
Before him stood the superior Si Chen.
"Chu Lingfeng, with the elders protecting you, and the fact that I'm not a match for my older brother right now, you've barely managed to keep your life. But you didn't think it would end just like that, did you?"
Si Chen held the poisoned apple, the lone lens of his glasses reflecting an evil light. "I can feel it, this is a good thing."
He pressed the apple against Chu Lingfeng's face. In that brief moment of contact, Chu Lingfeng, whose character weight was even higher than Si Chen's, sensed the apple's terror!
Perhaps it was because Ye Liang had died from a poisoned apple.
As male leads themselves, they were already influenced by the will of the world. This poisoned apple, destined to destroy their luck, would be resisted by their bodies and souls.
Chu Lingfeng struggled even more violently, biting down hard on his lip.
Si Chen smiled coldly. "You don't want to eat it? It's not up to you!"
He punched Chu Lingfeng hard in the abdomen. The pain forced the man to open his mouth and shout, "Si Chen, you wouldn't dare?!"
"What makes you think I wouldn't?"
Si Chen's left hand clamped down on Chu Lingfeng's face, while his right hand raised the apple and forcibly shoved the whole thing into his mouth.
Finding it blocked by his teeth, Si Chen aimed at the apple and his mouth and punched hard again.
The apple was forced into his mouth, cracking as Chu Lingfeng lost a front tooth.
Si Chen looked down at Chu Lingfeng, his eyes cold. "Bite!"
Chu Lingfeng glared at Si Chen, still defiant.
He even tried to spit the apple out.
But Si Chen didn't have that much patience.
His entire fortune, including his future, was riding on Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao.
Yet, this guy almost ruined his all-or-nothing gamble.
"Since you won't eat it, I'll help you!"
"Bang!"
Si Chen punched Chu Lingfeng hard on the right cheek. His face swelled up rapidly, and the force also drove the apple further into his mouth. His powerful strength was enough to use Chu Lingfeng's teeth to shatter the apple.
But once wasn't enough.
Seeing Chu Lingfeng's left cheek bulging with apple, Si Chen punched him hard again.
"Eat it or not?!"
Another punch landed.
"You want to be difficult, huh?"
He then delivered an uppercut to the jaw.
"If you don't swallow it, I'll punch your throat twice! I want to see if you, the divine doctor, can heal yourself!"
Each punch landed with a sickening thud, and teeth fell out one after another.
The mixture of pain and muffled cries made the guards' scalps tingle.
Si Zhenliu still needed Chu Lingfeng to prolong his life and was afraid he'd be beaten to death by Si Chen, so he quickly stopped him. "Enough!"
He signaled to one of the guards beside him. "Stop him from hitting. Go and make Chu Lingfeng swallow the whole apple."
The guard nodded, taking over Si Chen's position. He found Chu Lingfeng already swollen like a pig's head, unrecognizable from his previous handsome appearance.
Most of the apple had been swallowed, but some fragments had been spat out onto the lawn during the beating.
The guard's face showed disgust, but he picked up the apple fragments from the lawn and forcibly stuffed them into Chu Lingfeng's mouth, then choked him to make him swallow.
Only after watching Chu Lingfeng eat the apple core and confirming there were no remnants in his mouth did the guard nod to Si Chen. "Second Master, he has eaten the entire apple."
Si Chen stood to the side, his face dark, and nodded slightly.
He was extremely shocked inside.
He could clearly feel that the moment he ate the apple, Chu Lingfeng's energy and spirit were being lost at an alarming rate.
Like a man whose essence had been sucked away by a female ghost, he would be skin and bones in the blink of an eye.
The special aura that had previously made people unconditionally like and trust him was fading away bit by bit.
What exactly was that apple?
Why was Chu Lingfeng behaving like this after eating the apple?
And why did he have a sense of empathy?
Si Chen looked at Chu Lingfeng, who seemed like an old man on the verge of death, and was silent for a while, then collected his complicated expression.
He nodded to Si Zhenliu. "This is the last time. If there's a next time, even my older brother won't be able to protect you. At least in this Nine Provinces City, I can easily kill you, you old thing."
He ignored Si Zhenliu and let his guards drag Chu Lingfeng away, then turned to look at Su Tao and Chi Xiaocheng.
The girl was holding the unconscious girl tightly in her arms, her head lowered in silence, her disheveled hair falling onto the girl's face, creating a tragic beauty.
Si Chen sighed. "Don't hold Chi Xiaocheng so tightly. If she can't breathe, there will be…"
"Get lost!" Su Tao turned and shouted at Si Chen. "What do you know! If I don't hold her tight, what if she leaves me again!"
Si Chen was taken aback by the shout. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
Where was the white moonlight Su Tao from before?
She was now a madwoman.
A fanatic with only Chi Xiaocheng in her eyes.
Si Chen sighed helplessly and took out his phone to make a call. "Where are you? Why haven't you arrived yet?"
"We've arrived, Master."
As the phone answered, the sound of sirens could be heard in the distance.
An ambulance rushed directly into the farm, quickly driving towards Si Chen's location.
Immediately afterwards, doctors got out carrying stretchers.
But what Si Chen didn't expect was that when a doctor tried to take Chi Xiaocheng from Su Tao, Su Tao pushed him away.
The girl's eyes were still red, and she held Chi Xiaocheng tightly. "Get out of here! No one can take my Xiaocheng away!"
Was she crazy?
She was just scared.
This was the third time.
She was afraid that if she let go, the girl in her arms would truly leave her forever.
Her heart was closed, her mind was closed, and everyone in her eyes except Chi Xiaocheng seemed to have turned into evil spirits trying to snatch the girl in her arms away.
The doctor paused and looked at Si Chen for help.
Si Chen also took a deep breath, grabbed Su Tao's down jacket by the collar, and shouted at her, "Wake up! These are doctors! If you really want Chi Xiaocheng to die, you better keep holding her like this!"
Perhaps it was the effect of the male lead halo, or perhaps the word "die" stimulated her nerves, but Su Tao finally listened to Si Chen.
The moment the clarity returned to her eyes, the hand holding Chi Xiaocheng began to tremble.
Seeing that Su Tao had regained consciousness, Si Chen let go of her, and his voice became much gentler. "Trust the doctors. She will be fine this time too."
He nodded slightly to the doctors.
At the doctor's beckoning, several nurses snatched Chi Xiaocheng from Su Tao.
Yes, snatched.
Even though her eyes had regained clarity, Su Tao still didn't want to let go of Chi Xiaocheng.
Silent, she seemed to lack vitality, like Chu Lingfeng who had just eaten the poisoned apple.
Si Chen watched Chi Xiaocheng being carried onto the ambulance on a stretcher and then looked at Su Tao.
He didn't know if it was an illusion.
He felt that the girl in front of him had changed.
