My Brother's Arranged Marriage Partner Is My Boyfriend - Chapter 72.2

Bai Ruoning wailed in pain on the floor, but fearing that Mo Leyang would lose patience and feed him to the dogs, he forced himself to endure it.

“One last chance!” Mo Leyang said to the bodyguard. “Bring the wolves over.”

Hearing this, Bai Ruoning’s scalp went numb. He crawled over to grab Mo Leyang’s foot and said quickly, “Third Young Master, don’t bring the dogs! I’ll speak! I’ll speak! The scars on Bai Nanxing’s wrist are from when he tried to commit suicide! Later… later, he thought they were ugly, so he had a tattoo done to cover them up!”

Mo Leyang kicked him away in disgust and waved for the bodyguard to stop. “Suicide? Why would he try to commit suicide when everything was fine?”

Bai Ruoning crawled up again and stammered, “B-because…”

“Because what?”

“B-because of Cao Huaiyuan!”

Mo Leyang’s face darkened instantly, and murderous intent flooded his eyes. “What do you mean?”

Bai Ruoning lowered his head in fear and continued, “Back when Bai Nanxing was in his first year of high school, the Cao family came to visit. Cao Huaiyuan came along too. Bai Nanxing happened to come home that day and ran into him. Th-then, Cao Huaiyuan took an interest in Bai Nanxing. After that, he often used visiting as an excuse to… to lock himself and Bai Nanxing in a room together… and then… Third Young Master, you can probably guess the rest.”

Crash!

The glass tabletop in front of him was shattered into pieces.

Bai Ruoning nearly lost his soul from fright.

He kept his head down, stealing a cautious glance at Mo Leyang. Mo Leyang was now radiating pure murderous intent, his cold gaze like an asura from hell, capable of tearing someone in half at any moment.

Bai Ruoning trembled all over. Realizing how incredibly important Bai Nanxing was to Mo Leyang, he knelt and stammered, “Third Young Master, this really had nothing to do with us! We couldn’t afford to offend the Cao family, and once Cao Huaiyuan sets his sights on a prey, they can never escape unless he lets go.”

Mo Leyang clenched his fists, his voice chillingly cold. “And then?”

Bai Ruoning didn’t dare refuse and could only continue, “Then, after a few times, Bai Nanxing became terrified of him. He often found excuses to stay at school. This lasted until the end of the first semester, and Cao Huaiyuan found out. S-so, the week before final exams, Cao Huaiyuan took several people to the school to corner Bai Nanxing and forcefully took him to a bar. I don’t know the rest. Later I heard that a bar owner saved him and called the police. Cao Huaiyuan went to prison for three years because of that.”

No wonder the Little Thing trusts that older man so much.

Mo Leyang felt a bitter ache in his heart. He had never felt this distressed before—so distressed he wanted to dispose of all this trash right now.

Just then, Zhou Lin walked in from outside.

Seeing the glass everywhere and the bruised Bai Ruoning, he likely understood what had happened.

“Should I wait outside for a bit? Oh, wait, I have something urgent to tell you.”

Zhou Lin said, “Cao Huaiyuan has been released. At noon today, he went to the school dorm to find your junior. Mo-mo sent me a WeChat saying your junior even picked up a knife and asked how many years you get for murder. He’s worried your junior might do something foolish, so he told me to let you know. Do you know everything about what happened back then?”

Seeing Mo Leyang’s expression, Zhou Lin assumed he did.

“So what do you plan to do? I think it’s better to tell your Old Man. If he steps in, sending him back to prison wouldn’t be a problem.”

To his surprise, Mo Leyang replied coldly, “Since when do I go to the Old Man for my affairs? Do you want to see me get mocked by him again?”

Zhou Lin had almost forgotten the two of them didn’t get along. “Alright then, what do you plan to do now? Cao Huaiyuan relies on the Cao family. If you make a move, things might get hard to settle.”

“So, what did you find? You’ve been missing for days. Don’t tell me you were just sleeping at home.”

“…” Zhou Lin sighed and handed over a camera. “I got this from those scumbags back then. They never destroyed it. But let’s agree first—don’t take your anger out on me after watching it. Also, I thoughtfully brought one of them here for you.”

With that, Zhou Lin made a phone call.

A moment later, two bodyguards dragged a man in from outside.

The man was shouting about calling the police, but when he looked up and saw who was in the room, he froze.

“Mo… Mo Leyang?!”

“Oh, you actually know A-Yang,” Zhou Lin said, surprised.

The man fell silent, lowering his head, not daring to meet Mo Leyang’s gaze.

At the same time, he noticed the camera in Mo Leyang’s hand, and his hair stood on end.

Observing the change in his expression, Zhou Lin squatted down. “It seems Young Master Chen remembers this camera. Since you remember, let me ask you: do you know who the person being bullied inside is?”

This Young Master Chen’s eyes darted around guiltily. He stole a glance at Mo Leyang and saw him watching the contents of the camera. Mo Leyang’s expression was sinking visibly, like a wild wolf about to explode, his eyes filled with killing intent.

In the next second, before Young Master Chen could turn his head back, a dark shadow kicked him in the abdomen. Before he could react, Mo Leyang kicked him again, hard.

“AAAAAAAH—!”

Miserable screams filled the entire villa.

Seeing this, Bai Ruoning huddled and shivered in terror.

Mo Leyang was like a violent wolf. After the two kicks, he strode over, hauled the man up, and threw him violently against a pillar. He choked Young Master Chen’s neck and roared in fury, “How dare you do that to him?!”

Before he could react, Young Master Chen felt he was about to lose his breath and began to beg for mercy in terror.

“T-Third Young Master, s-spare me! This… it had nothing to do with me! It was Cao Huaiyuan! It was all his idea!”

Zhou Lin added from the side, “Nothing to do with you? ‘Good things should be shared’—weren’t those your words?”

Young Master Chen panicked instantly and begged, “I was wrong! I was wrong, Third Young Master! I didn’t know he was someone you liked! Cao Huaiyuan threatened me into doing it!”

Mo Leyang sneered and tightened his grip. Soon, the sound of cracking bones could be heard.

Young Master Chen felt he was truly going to die, but he didn’t want to. He raised his hand to grab Mo Leyang’s and squeezed out a sentence: “T-Third Young Master, do you know why Cao Huaiyuan went to find him again? I know! I know! If you spare me, I’ll tell you everything!”

Mo Leyang sneered, “I’ll find out for myself why he’s looking for the Little Thing. Do you think I need you to tell me?”

Young Master Chen struggled. “Investigating takes time! If it’s too late, you’ll definitely regret it, Third Young Master!”

“What did you say?”

Mo Leyang tightened his grip again. The cracking sounds became more pronounced, sounding as if the bone were about to snap.

Zhou Lin hurried over to stop him. “A-Yang, let’s hear what he has to say first. If it’s true, we need to ensure your junior’s safety first.”

Mo Leyang was itching with hatred, but for Bai Nanxing’s sake, he listened and released his grip. “You’d better not be lying to me!”

Having survived, Young Master Chen gasped for air desperately.

He hadn’t even gasped for three seconds before Mo Leyang kicked him again. “Speak! Don’t test my patience!”

Young Master Chen wailed in pain but immediately scrambled to kneel before Mo Leyang. Enduring the pain, he said, “A-at noon, Cao Huaiyuan went to find him, intending to force himself on him…”

BAM—

“AAAAAAAH!”

Before he could finish, he was kicked again by Mo Leyang, rolling on the ground in agony.

“Don’t let me hear those words again! Get up and keep talking!”

Young Master Chen had to swallow his screams and struggle back up to continue: “Cao Huaiyuan wouldn’t let us in, so I don’t know what happened inside. I just heard Bai Nanxing shout, and not long after, Cao Huaiyuan came out. He was walking strangely, probably having been kicked somewhere. Then, after we got back, he angrily told us that Bai Nanxing has to meet him at the bar at ten tonight. If Bai Nanxing doesn’t show up, he’ll…”

The rest didn’t need to be said explicitly; both Mo Leyang and Zhou Lin understood perfectly.

Zhou Lin finally realized why Yan Mo had contacted him. He cursed under his breath, “What a piece of trash,” and said to Mo Leyang, “It looks like your junior plans to go down with him.”

Mo Leyang’s face was grim as he remained silent. He clenched his fist and smashed it into Young Master Chen’s face, causing blood to splatter instantly.

In the next second, Zhou Lin heard Mo Leyang say, “Send both of them to ‘Heaven on Earth’ and say it’s my orders.”

The bodyguards nodded in unison, grabbed the men, and dragged them out.

Bai Ruoning knew what kind of place “Heaven on Earth” was. To put it another way, any family associated with the elite knew it was a place where ordinary people, once sent, could only live like discarded rags forever.

“No! I don’t want to go! I won’t go there!”

Hearing this, Bai Ruoning got up to run.

However, before he could take more than a few steps, he was caught by a towering bodyguard, knocked unconscious with a single blow, and dragged away.
