After The Honest Person Was Discovered For Simultaneously Pursuing Three People - Chapter 86

Chapter 86: Zhao Jingqun Is Driven to a Frenzy of Excitement…

Regardless of the fact that this was a society governed by law, and murder would be punished by death, even if it weren’t, Tao Ning could not stand by and watch Zhao Jingqun do something so heinous.

It was precisely because he knew Zhao Jingqun would do this that Tao Ning broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly hugged him, the words on the tip of his tongue carefully thought out, a thousand times over. He chose his words cautiously: “I know I was wrong, Zhao Jingqun. Please calm down… You’re scaring me.”

He vaguely knew he absolutely must not mention the names of Song Yucong and Xu Jun. Only then might he be able to stop Zhao Jingqun’s extremely dangerous thoughts.

“You’re scared?” Zhao Jingqun pushed him away, his dark eyes still staring intently at Tao Ning, as if he could find clues of a lie on that beautiful face. “If you’re scared, then why did you cheat on me? Why did you leave my side?”

Going around in circles, he still couldn’t escape these two ‘accusations,’ and Tao Ning was speechless. At first, he simply thought Zhao Jingqun was a possessive person, which Tao Ning could accept. But if he had known that Zhao Jingqun was a homicidal maniac, he would have fiercely refused the mission.

Such extreme and obsessive love would send a chill down anyone’s spine. Even with Tao Ning’s innate emotional deficiency, he found it difficult to bear.

He took a deep breath. The only thing he was sure of was that Zhao Jingqun was not as crazy as before. At least he could communicate, and there should be room for negotiation.

After carefully considering what to say, Tao Ning felt that he wouldn’t anger Zhao Jingqun again. He reached out and carefully put his arms around Zhao Jingqun’s neck, hesitating as he said, “I’m sorry, it’s my fault…”

Images flashed through his mind, and Tao Ning even added, “Brother Jingqun, don’t be mad at me… It’s all my fault.”

Under the dim, yellow light, Tao Ning sat on his lap, raising his slender, swan-like neck. His delicate hands were wrapped around Zhao Jingqun’s neck. A sickly sweet scent had unknowingly seeped into every pore of Zhao Jingqun’s body. Every inch of skin that was tightly pressed against Tao Ning was screaming for him to be pinned to the bed and consumed.

Even though he had to bite his tongue to taste the blood and maintain his calm, on the surface, Zhao Jingqun remained expressionless. He slowly lowered his head, looking at the face that haunted his dreams.

This was a face that anyone would admire and be infatuated with. The features meticulously carved by Nuwa were the most perfect work of art in the world. With red lips, white teeth, and eyes filled with spring water, when those full, red lips uttered the words “Brother,” they could easily make all men go crazy for him, falling into an endless, enchanting hell.

Zhao Jingqun desired those lips so much he was about to explode, but as his gaze moved up and saw Tao Ning’s light brown eyes, it was like a bucket of cold water extinguishing his raging desire.

Because beneath the thick, dark lashes, there was nothing in those eyes—Tao Ning was a liar. His words were sweet, but in reality, he didn’t love him at all.

He didn’t love him… maybe he didn’t even like him.

If he let Tao Ning go this time, he would continue to flirt behind his back. Zhao Jingqun hated this point the most. It turned out that not only was Tao Ning heartless, but he was also a smooth-talking liar.

He must not be fooled again. Zhao Jingqun closed his eyes, trembling. He had to give Tao Ning a punishment so profound that he would feel fear whenever he thought of seducing other men.

Zhao Jingqun opened his eyes, his eye sockets bloodshot. His hands suddenly gripped Tao Ning’s waist. He picked him up and slammed him down on the bed, making a beastly sound from deep in his throat: “Tao Ning, if you don’t want me to kill those two wild dogs, then for the next little while… you’ll be obedient.”

The hot, scorching breath made Tao Ning gasp for air, especially with the man’s entire weight on top of him. Then, a shower of fine, close kisses fell on his earlobe, forehead, eyes, and the tip of his nose… The rough, dry kisses slid down his trembling face all the way to his lips.

In the world of male animals fighting for a mate, a beast filled with the desire to mate would pick up its prey and hide it in a cave, then sniff the prey, licking it inch by inch, covering the places marked by other males, and finally looking for a damp, easy-to-bite spot on the prey’s body.

If found, it would roar in excitement and deliver a fatal blow.

The dangerous factor in the air made Tao Ning’s scalp tingle, as if a cruel beast’s claw was holding his neck, tearing his clothes, but he was completely unable to resist.

His swollen lips could only let out a soft moan. Tears fell, and in his blurry vision, there was only Zhao Jingqun’s face, contorted with jealousy.

Thump, thump, thump. In the cage, besides the sound of the clock hands turning and the scorching heat, there was only the sound of a violent heartbeat.

“Zhao Jingqun, don’t…”

The fragile, sobbing plea drove Zhao Jingqun to a frenzy of excitement.

He looked down, panting, coaxing and threatening, “Be good… Call me husband.” He stroked Tao Ning’s soft hair over and over, muttering nonsense in a low voice, “Be good, baby, my baby, Tao Ning, my baby, my baby… call me husband.”

But Tao Ning could only cry and couldn’t hear him, like a beautiful porcelain doll.

Zhao Jingqun tightly hugged the unconscious Tao Ning, gently kissing away the murky sweat from his forehead. He murmured softly, “I love you… Tao Ning, I love you.”

“Please give me a little bit of love too.”

When Tao Ning woke up, he was the only one in the room. He felt as if his whole body no longer belonged to him. Although he was clean, he was incredibly sore, especially his throat, which hurt badly.

Recalling the chaotic scenes from a few hours ago, Tao Ning was both angry and ashamed. He hit the blanket in a burst of frustration.

Zhao Jingqun… Zhao Jingqun was a jerk! And he had called him a liar, but he was the real hypocrite! He at least used to know his limits, and Tao Ning tolerated his possessiveness.

But now, the pretense was completely gone, and the viciousness in his bones came pouring out during their time on the bed, making Tao Ning suffer.

But Tao Ning didn’t expect that this was just the beginning and that he was about to discover what Zhao Jingqun’s “be obedient” truly meant.

He had lost his freedom.

Tao Ning wanted to get out of bed, but the movement tugged at the chains. It was only then that he realized with a start that Zhao Jingqun had no intention of letting him go. Four slender chains locked his two wrists and two ankles, only allowing him the freedom to move from the head of the bed to the foot, like a canary in a cage.

Fearing the canary would get hurt, soft cotton cloth was wrapped around the chain links. It wouldn’t make Tao Ning feel cold or even pain, but the warmth it left behind terrified Tao Ning. What on earth was Zhao Jingqun trying to do?! Was he planning to keep him here forever?

Lunatic! Tao Ning finally felt the horror of Zhao Jingqun, but at the same time, there was a helpless bitterness. He couldn’t blame Zhao Jingqun for this, because Zhao Jingqun used to not be like this…

With a click, the door opened.

This was a room with no windows, only a dim yellow ceiling light, a white bed, and a wall of photos. It was absolutely quiet and absolutely inescapable.

When the door opened, Tao Ning felt a chilling dread that made his hair stand on end. His feeling was right.

Because outside the door was pitch black. Half of Zhao Jingqun’s body was hidden in the shadows. He stood in the doorway, not moving. One hand held a food container and a folding table, and the other slowly let go of the doorknob. Because of the backlighting, Tao Ning couldn’t see his expression, only that a gaze was fixed on him.

That gaze was indescribably calm.

But Tao Ning knew that the calmer the surface of the sea, the more turbulent the waves hidden beneath it. This version of Zhao Jingqun instantly made Tao Ning’s nerves tense and his heart pound.

After a while, as if he had finally looked long enough, the person in the doorway walked over step by step. Tao Ning watched his stiff smile and felt a chill in his heart.

But Zhao Jingqun seemed not to sense his slight resistance. He opened the folding table, unpacked the food container, and held a bowl of porridge as he walked toward him.

It was Tao Ning’s favorite vegetable porridge.

The bed sank under the weight of the other person. Tao Ning heard Zhao Jingqun say with a smile, “Baby, it’s time to eat.” His tone was the same as usual.

A warm spoon was pressed against his lips. Tao Ning avoided it, looking away, and his voice was hoarse: “When are you… going to let me leave…”

He had a heavy course load and a mission he was still a little short on. He couldn’t stay here for a long time. Although Tao Ning felt both heartache and guilt for making Zhao Jingqun so crazy, he couldn’t just give in to him because of it. The feeling of losing his freedom was very bad.

Tao Ning wanted Zhao Jingqun to know that this was not normal love.

However, the person in his peripheral vision stopped moving, and the air pressure instantly dropped. Tao Ning turned his head and was met with Zhao Jingqun’s expressionless face. He still held the spoon, saying calmly, “Baby, it’s time to eat.”

Tao Ning’s stubborn temper flared up. He gritted his teeth and said, “I don’t want to eat.”

Zhao Jingqun’s expression didn’t change. He said indifferently, “Those two wild dogs are looking for you. I’m very angry, and you know the consequences.”

He was threatening him?! Tao Ning was both angry and sad. After he calmed down, he remembered how serious Zhao Jingqun had been when he said he would kill them. He was about to speak but stopped just as the words were about to come out.

Because Tao Ning quickly realized that this was a trap. If he spoke up for Song Yucong and Xu Jun, the consequences would be much worse.

How could he be so cruel…

Tao Ning lowered his eyes, hiding his terrified emotions, and said stiffly, “I don’t care.”

As expected, the air pressure that had plummeted instantly eased a bit. But only a bit. Zhao Jingqun smiled, a mix of a cold laugh and a fake smile. “Good, I like you saying that. It’s time to eat.”

Zhao Jingqun put down the spoon, gently hugged Tao Ning, and put him on his lap. He wrapped his arms around Tao Ning from behind, then picked up the porridge and, as usual, fed him spoonful by spoonful without allowing him to refuse.

If Tao Ning resisted in the middle, Zhao Jingqun would put down the spoon, use his other hand to pinch the soft flesh on Tao Ning’s cheek, forcing his mouth open. He would then kiss and bite him until Tao Ning cried and said he would eat properly.

Tao Ning couldn’t tell the time because after Zhao Jingqun had almost threateningly coaxed him into finishing his meal, he stood in front of the wall of photos for a while. A moment later, he took down the clock.

Zhao Jingqun had already taken away his freedom, leaving him to face a whole wall of photos, and now he was taking down the clock, taking away his last freedom to perceive time.

Before, there was only heartache, guilt, and a little fear. But after seeing Zhao Jingqun’s actions, all the heartache and guilt were gone, replaced only with anger.

He picked up a pillow and threw it at him, asking furiously, “What exactly do you want to do? Zhao Jingqun, have you really gone crazy? Do you want to keep me locked up here for a lifetime?!”

Zhao Jingqun didn’t dodge. The pillow hit his face and fell, revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes. He quickly came to the bed, pressed down on Tao Ning, and stared at him fiercely, roaring, “I have gone crazy! I do want to keep you locked up here for a lifetime!!”

He was panting, his chest heaving violently. He let out a “ha” and said with a sneer, “Tao Ning, you don’t know this, but I’ve wanted to do this for a long time. From the day you were with me, I wanted to lock you up in a place with no one else, tie you to a bed like this, fuck you day and night, and make you useless. That way, you’ll only be able to look at me, only be able to rely on me! But back then, I was afraid of scaring you and didn’t dare to let you know… But now I regret it so much. I regret not locking you up sooner! Letting you have a chance to go and seduce those two wild dogs!”

Slap!

Tao Ning slapped him hard, his eyes turning red. He held back his sobs and said, “You… you get out… get out!”

Zhao Jingqun watched as Tao Ning bit his lip, his stubborn tears silently rolling down his face one by one. These tears instantly turned into sharp blades, stabbing his heart, bringing with them a torturous, twisting pain.

He closed his eyes, his hands trembling as he hugged Tao Ning, holding him tightly in his arms as if he wanted to fuse Tao Ning’s body into his flesh and blood.

“Tao Ning… my Tao Ning…” Zhao Jingqun hugged him, his voice trembling. “I just want you to love me.”
