"Yun Xi, don't go! If something happens over there, I won't be able to protect you. It's better if I go alone!"

Liu Yunxi initially wanted to refuse, but after a moment's thought, she realized Er Gou was right and nodded in agreement.

Once Liu Yunxi agreed, Er Gou wasted no time and sprinted toward Liu Jingming's house. Just as he reached the entrance, he heard angry shouts from within.

"Wu Dahu! Let go of me right now! If you don't..."

Er Gou had heard enough. He sent a flying kick at the main gate. CRASH! The gate was blasted off its hinges.

Inside, he saw the scene clearly. Wu Dahu was dragging a desperately struggling Hu Jing toward one of the rooms.

Without a moment's hesitation, Er Gou lunged forward and aimed a flying kick straight at Wu Dahu, putting every ounce of his strength behind it.

The kick connected, sending Wu Dahu flying through the air before he slammed into a wall with a sickening THUD and slowly slid to the ground.

Wu Dahu was completely stunned by the blow, leaning against the wall in a daze for a long moment. Just as he came to his senses and tried to get up to fight back, a sharp pain suddenly shot through his chest. The pain was so abrupt that it caught him completely off guard. In an instant, he was curled up on the ground, clutching his chest with a face twisted in agony.

Ignoring Wu Dahu writhing on the ground, Er Gou rushed over to help Hu Jing to her feet. "Hu Jing, what happened? How did that bastard Wu Dahu get in here?"

Hu Jing was still trembling with fear. Hearing Er Gou's question, she quickly explained, "I don't know! I had just gotten home when I saw him climbing over the wall! Then... then he tried to do that to me! If I hadn't reacted fast enough, he might have succeeded!"

At this, Hu Jing could no longer hold back her tears. She threw herself into Er Gou's arms and began to sob wretchedly. Er Gou gently patted her shoulder, trying to comfort her.

His gaze then shifted to Wu Dahu, still curled up and writhing on the ground. A cold sneer touched Er Gou's lips. Not caring if the man could even hear him, he said, "Wu Dahu, you really have a death wish. It seems you forgot your last lesson. I guess I was too soft on you. If I'd known this would happen, I would have just crippled you from the start!"

With that, Er Gou stood up and strode toward Wu Dahu without hesitation. Wracked with agony, Wu Dahu was speechless, able only to watch in terror as Er Gou drew closer.

In an instant, Er Gou was standing over him. Looking down at the man on the ground, he grabbed him by the collar and hauled him to his feet. Then, he thrust his fingers out and jabbed a spot on Wu Dahu's lower back with vicious force.

Wu Dahu's eyes nearly bulged from their sockets in pain. Er Gou sneered, "Wu Dahu, you wanted to have your fun, didn't you? Fine. Today, I'll finish you for good. I'm going to make you a eunuch for the rest of your life!"

Following his words, Er Gou unleashed a volley of more than a dozen slaps across Wu Dahu's face. The blows were fast and brutal, and the sharp, slapping sounds echoed through the courtyard. By the time he was done, Wu Dahu's face was swollen like a pig's head.

Looking at the state of him, Er Gou snickered again. Then, with a sudden exertion of strength from one arm, he hurled Wu Dahu clean out of the courtyard. With a dull THUD, Wu Dahu landed hard on the road outside.

Only then did the sharp pain in Wu Dahu's chest finally begin to subside, but it was immediately replaced by the searing agony in his face, so intense he almost passed out. Surprisingly, he didn't faint. Gritting his teeth, he stumbled to his feet and began to limp away.

He moved slowly, muttering incomprehensibly under his breath.

Damn it... If I had known, I should have just stayed in town... Why the hell did I come back to deal with Hu Jing! Damned Er Gou, you just wait! This isn't over! One day, I'm going to kill you!

In the blink of an eye, Wu Dahu had vanished. After dealing with him, Er Gou turned back to Hu Jing, who was still crying.

"It's okay, Hu Jing. It's over now," Er Gou said softly, gently pulling her into an embrace. His comfort seemed to have the opposite effect, however, as Hu Jing only cried harder.

Seeing her sobbing so fiercely in his arms, Er Gou was at a loss for what to do. He'd never been in a situation like this before. After a moment's hesitation, he carefully lifted her and carried her into the room.

He gently set her down on the sofa. Just as he was about to leave, Hu Jing suddenly launched herself at him, throwing her arms around him once more.

Feeling her seductive body pressed against his, Er Gou couldn't help but swallow hard. He had been aroused several times today, and all that pent-up desire was still simmering inside him, threatening to boil over. Hu Jing's actions were, without a doubt, playing with fire.

Suppressing the heat rising within him, Er Gou continued his attempts to comfort her. "Alright, alright. It's okay now, nothing happened. I chased Wu Dahu off, so don't cry anymore. What if Liu Jingming comes home and sees you like this? He might think I did something to you! Please, stop crying."

As he spoke, he gently patted her on the back. Whether it was his words or his touch, Hu Jing's fierce sobbing finally subsided, and she grew quiet.

She then lifted her head, her eyes red and puffy from crying, and looked up at him. "Er Gou... sob... I was so scared. If it weren't for you today, that shameless bastard Wu Dahu... he would have..."

Just as Er Gou opened his mouth to reply, Hu Jing suddenly sat up straight and pressed her lips against his. In that instant, any words he might have said were caught in his throat, leaving him utterly speechless.
