Chapter 25 - Looking for Death

Gao Leng's face turned paler as he recalled the reason he was fired from the company.

President Long Fei had insisted that he would only be interviewed by Su Ruan. Gao Leng should have noticed that Su Ruan had some kind of relationship with President Long. However, his mind was not thinking straight.

Gao Leng was wandering the street earlier when he saw Su Ruan. Seeing that the woman was walking around leisurely made his heart boil in anger.

It was because of Su Ruan that he had lost his job.

Moreover, his uncle that he had depended on was very angry that he had lost the interview. Gao Leng had pleaded with his uncle but that man refused to listen to him.

Because of this incident, his uncle seemed as if he wanted to break all ties with him. His parents were so angry and his wife had given him a cold shoulder.

Gao Leng was so scared that he did not know what he should do.

When he saw that Su Ruan was alone, Gao Leng thought that he should get his revenge.

Since he had lost everything because of Su Ruan, Gao Leng thought that he should let Su Ruan suffer some losses as well.

This woman has been working for him for years. Gao Leng had tried to get Su Ruan to his side for a long time, but she had always been persistent.

Now that he no longer have anything else to lose, Gao Leng decided that he should take this chance to do what he always wanted to do to Su Ruan.

He had almost succeeded. However, Gao Leng did not expect that President Long Fei would suddenly show up and disrupt his plan.

Long Fei stepped cautiously towards Gao Leng. His gaze shifted to Su Ruan who had passed out on the ground. Seeing her disheveled dress, Long Fei's expression grew darker.

This was the woman that he himself did not dare to get close to. But this disgusting old man dared to have a bad intention towards Su Ruan.

No words could describe the feeling in Long Fei's heart at this time.

If it was not because he could detect that there was something wrong with Su Ruan, perhaps he would not know anything.

Just at the thought of what might happen if he came too late…

Long Fei clenched his hand into a tight fist, causing the veins on his hands to pop up.

Gao Leng naturally noticed that there was something wrong with Long Fei. The air around him seemed to get colder and Gao Leng was having a hard time breathing.

"President Long, I think there should be a misunderstanding between us two," Gao Leng spoke. "There's nothing happened between Su Ruan and me. I did not touch her."

"Don't lie. I saw what happened."

Gao Leng tried to look away from Long Fei but his eyes would not shift away.

A few seconds passed and Gao Leng noticed how Long Fei's eyes turned… His pupils turned into a vertical slit.

Gao Leng realized that this… was not something that a human could do.

His eyes widened and his breath stuck in his throat. Gao Leng wanted to run away but his legs would not move no matter how much he wanted to run.

In just seconds, his hair turned all white and his body froze as if he had turned into a stone. Gao Leng was still breathing but his body could no longer move.

"Long Fei!"

Hearing his name, Long Fei snapped out of his anger and retracted his power. When he shifted his gaze to Su Ruan again, his pupil had turned normal.

The sounds of footsteps behind him got closer and soon, Long Yu Heng appeared by his side.

Long Fei could not help but to shoot a displeased look at his cousin. If it was not because of him, Gao Leng would cease to exist.

Long Yu Heng's steps halted the moment he came closer. He sucked in a deep breath as his eyes were on the petrified Gao Leng. It took him a few seconds to remember that this man was the Director of Upcoming, the magazine where Su Ruan used to work with.

Looking at the condition Gao Leng was in, Long Yu Heng realized that he had come a little too late.

"What have you done?" Long Yu Heng turned to his cousin, sending him an inquiring look.

Ten minutes ago, the two of them were still in Long Fei's office. The man was busy looking at a few documents as Fu Xing was reminding him about an important business banquet.

Long Fei had suddenly sat up straight and dashed out the door.

If it was not because they were in this big city, Long Yu Heng did not doubt that Long Fei would change his form to rush to wherever he wanted to go.

Long Yu Heng did not know what was going on but his instinct told him that he had to go after Long Fei or else, this man would definitely get into a troublesome situation.

He did not expect that once he caught up with Long Fei, he would find a petrified Gao Leng along with him.

In the end, he was still too late to stop Long Fei.

"He deserved it." Long Fei spoke in a cold tone.

"What?" Long Yu Heng watched as his cousin walked in a direction and crouched down. It was now that he realized that there was another person at this place. His eyes widened in surprise when he finally recognized Su Ruan.

"Don't look."

Hearing his warning, Long Yu Heng quickly looked away. From the corner of his eyes, he could see Long Fei adjusting Su Ruan's clothing and covering up her body. His gaze shifted to Gao Leng and he finally understood what was going on.

Long Fei was right.

Gao Leng definitely deserved what happened to him. He dared to touch the woman that could save the entire Long family. He was definitely looking for death.

However… Long Yu Heng suddenly had a headache as he thought of how he should clean up this mess.

The troublesome group who was keen on investigating people like Long Fei was still in Capital City. They would definitely hear of what happened here.

Long Yu Heng heaved a heavy sigh and spoke to his cousin. "You go ahead. I'll handle this matter."

"Un." Long Fei nodded. "Thank you."
