A silver-gray motorcycle, like a streak of lightning, came to a halt before No. 2 Jing Shui Xianju Villa.
Yu Tingwan gracefully removed her helmet and strode inside.
Sun Cheng was pacing back and forth in the living room with a grim expression, frequently glancing at his watch, sweating profusely from anxiety.
From a room in the basement, dull thuds echoed continuously, one after another.
"Open the door!"
A cold and sharp female voice rang out from outside.
Sun Cheng lifted his eyes and saw Yu Tingwan standing at the door, with several bodyguards sprawled on the ground nearby.
Those bodyguards had tried to stop Yu Tingwan, but she had no time for idle chatter, so she took them all down.
Startled, Sun Cheng quickly opened the door and respectfully ushered Yu Tingwan in.
He didn't know Yu Tingwan's true identity, but judging by Si Yanchen's attitude towards her, this girl was crucial to their master, the Fourth Lord.
So Sun Cheng dared not obstruct her.
"Where is Si Yanchen?"
Yu Tingwan's piercing gaze swept around but found no sign of Si Yanchen.
The muffled thumping sounds reached her ears.
Her expression changed, and she immediately headed toward the source of the sound. Sun Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to block her path: "Miss Yu, the Fourth Lord's condition makes it inconvenient for him to see you right now..."
When Si Yanchen had an episode, he wouldn't recognize anyone.
But it had been over three years since his last episode, and this one was sudden and severe.
He even thought that if the thumping didn't stop within ten minutes, he would administer a drug to force Si Yanchen into calmness.
However, that drug was too harsh on the body.
Yet what had triggered this episode? Just a few days ago, hadn't he vented his frustration at Si Fengli's place, nearly demolishing the entire villa? Even in his wheelchair, he had fought fiercely, unrelentingly attacking everyone.
They were still too scared to show themselves!
Especially Si Fengli, with his black eye bags, the mere thought made him chuckle.
But this time...
"Lead the way."
Yu Tingwan gave him a cold glance and ordered bluntly.
Sun Cheng shuddered, his professional acumen and keen senses instantly telling him that Yu Tingwan was not someone he could provoke.
It would be best to follow her instructions.
Sun Cheng swiftly opened the basement door, then one layer after another of hidden doors, finally revealing the innermost door.
As they went deeper, the muffled thumping grew louder and faster, as if someone was unrestrainedly venting inside.
Swallowing hard, Sun Cheng said, "Miss Yu, the Fourth Lord is in there. Are you sure you can ensure your own safety? He..."
Before Sun Cheng could finish, he saw the girl's determined face as she gripped the doorknob and, without hesitation, turned the door open and walked in.
Inside, the muffled thumping abruptly ceased.
Sun Cheng gritted his teeth, turned to close the door, and hurried toward the surveillance room.
He must monitor the situation inside in real-time.
If Si Yanchen makes even a move that threatens Yu Tingwan's life, he won't hesitate to press the button to release the drug!
Even if it damages his body, he doesn't care. If Si Yanchen, in his frenzied state, kills Yu Tingwan... He would never forgive himself!
In the dim room, there is only one flickering yellow light.
The air is tinged with a hint of bloodiness.
As soon as Yu Tingwan enters, she frowns.
Her gaze falls on the shadow in the corner. Though the light is dim, she can sense the intense hostility emanating from him.
The room is tightly wrapped in foam padding, but now, many pieces of foam are scattered on the floor, and the walls have large tears and rips. Clearly, the muffled thuds they heard earlier came from here.
As soon as Yu Tingwan steps into the room, she feels like a wild beast is fixated on her, an instinctive sense of danger rising within her, causing her to adopt a defensive stance.
'Si...'
Yu Tingwan was about to call out Si Yanchen's name when she saw him charge at her like a cannonball, his handsome face cold, swinging a punch towards her head.
She could even hear the sound of his fist slicing through the air. If that punch landed, it would likely kill or severely injure her.
But Yu Tingwan merely stepped aside slightly, and the next moment, Si Yanchen's fist crashed into the foam padding beside her.
Although the padding is soft, Si Yanchen's reckless venting has left his hands covered in scars, which is the source of the blood smell she detected.
After dodging the first attack, Si Yanchen, expressionless, prepares to swing again. But suddenly, a small, soft body dives into his arms. Two delicate, boneless arms wrap around his waist.
'Si Yanchen, calm down.'
Her voice softens, acting like a powerful sedative, truly calming Si Yanchen.
In the monitoring room, Sun Cheng, who almost pressed the red button, exhales sharply, patting his chest and looking at the surveillance screen with a face full of sweat.
He had really been about to press it; after all, he didn't think Yu Tingwan could withstand that punch.
Just as he was about to press it, he noticed Yu Tingwan's calm gaze, which made him calm down too.
Yu Tingwan, hugging Si Yanchen, gently pats his back: 'It's okay, calm down.'
Si Yanchen's eyes are somewhat vacant, his mind foggy, but he can clearly smell the cold fragrance of peach blossoms.
The body in his arms is so familiar, triggering his most primal instincts.
Yu Tingwan notices that Si Yanchen's body is starting to change again. His temperature gradually rises; initially, she was the one who entered his embrace, but now he lowers his head, nuzzling her neck. His hands wrap around her waist, pulling her tightly against him.
This sudden move instantly darkens Yu Tingwan's face.
'Si, Yan, Chen!'
Yuting Wan, unable to bear it any longer, muttered angrily and pushed him away.
Si Yanchen staggered back two steps but stubbornly clung to her, his voice muddled and calling her name, 'Wanwan... don't leave.'
His tone was soft, tinged with slight trembling.
Yuting Wan pushed his head away, her voice cold, 'Do you recognize who I am?'
Si Yanchen remained silent, his deep eyes fixated on her as he tried to get closer again.
Sun Cheng in the monitoring room suddenly covered his eyes with both hands.
Could he even watch this?
If he dared, the Fourth Master would have him ground to dust once he woke up!
But the next moment, Sun Cheng heard a dull thud.
This... were they really that intense?
Sun Cheng shuddered silently.
The Fourth Master... I never imagined you were like this!
