Chapter 170: Volume 1 Chapter 170 Study Hard, Make Progress Every Day (14)

【Villain Li Wen Nian Favorability 26 points, Hatred Value 52 points】

Sitting in the car, Jiang Zhi let out a breath, gripped the book in her hand and leaned back, letting her body fall against the backrest.

The Hatred Value is higher than the Favorability; this is probably the first time in so many worlds.

I don't know what that lunatic thought of, but suddenly both Favorability and Hatred Value rose.

Before she could think further, the car braked suddenly, her whole body lurched forward, her head swam, and her vision blurred.

She vaguely saw the driver in the driver's seat being dragged out from outside, several black silhouettes standing by the car window, sending a chill through her.

One second before she passed out, she heard a sentence.

"She's the girl who's been with Li Nineteen, take her!"

—

Hua Guo Hai Cheng

Here, national laws do not apply; goods from all countries circulate, various large entertainment venues are open, the seaside urban area is as bright at night as day, wave after wave of carnival festivities erupt.

When Jiang Zhi woke up, she was in a state of total weakness from having been drugged, and several unfamiliar Western women appeared before her, doing her makeup and matching her outfit.

The conversation among them, she couldn't understand well; it should be the language from the Y Continent, mixed with dialects from other countries.

Jiang Zhi called out 777 in her mind: "The one who captured me is related to Li Wen Nian, right?"

777 said nervously: "Yes! Host, you are now in a very dangerous situation; you must survive and escape from here."

Jiang Zhi quickly calmed down, her gaze sweeping the surroundings; the décor and furnishings were not domestic style, the makeup reflected in the mirror was pure yet alluring.

A fiery red line was drawn at the corners of her eyes, adding a touch of bewitching allure to her snow-white complexion; the peach-blossom eyes that should have been full of emotion/desire were instead pure and clean, without a speck of impurity, giving off an aloof, cool temperament.

The several women gathered around her to look exclaimed in amazement.

Then, dressed in that light-blue strapless mermaid gown, it shimmered like a precious gemstone in the light.

Jiang Zhi's limbs gradually regained some strength, a strip of black cloth was wound before her eyes, blocking all vision.

Afterwards, she was helped out of the room.

Inside the lavishly decorated casino, the décor was extravagant, everyone wore exquisite masks, discussing this interesting event.

"I heard that several heirs of the Yulisi family have also come, but I still favor Prince Lanzhe, whose mother is royalty."

"Heh, I saw that Eastern mixed-blood person also came, his name is lowly enough—Li Wen Nian—compared to those heirs, what is he?"

"That's not necessarily true; his methods are even more ruthless than that godfather's, and though he's young, his actions are flawless."

In the front-row VIP seats.

One of the three heirs, Lanzhe Yulisi, a man with light, slightly wavy long hair leaned back in the seat, hands clasped, handsome Western features, noble bearing, he glanced sideways at the boy lying limp, smiled slightly: "Nineteen, insomnia again?"

Li Wen Nian rose, arms resting on the railing, blond hair disheveled and falling, he yawned, lacking interest: "Second brother, this place is so boring, do we really have to stay until the end?"

Lanzhe crossed his legs, fingertips tapping the mask on his face, calmly said: "A surprise will be coming for you shortly; just wait a bit longer."

Li Wen Nian's eyes lit up, he rushed to his side, swaying left and right: "What surprise? What surprise? I love surprises the most!"

Lanzhe helplessly said: "Sit down first, it's about to start."

Li Wen Nian sat restlessly, legs constantly shaking; noticing a gaze from the side, he narrowed his eyes, suddenly leaned over and made a funny face, startling them, and he laughed until he doubled over.

Sitting opposite him were glasses-wearing, elite-bearing, eyes devoid of any emotion, short hair, spine straight like a pine— one of the three heirs, Ailun Yulisi.

"Lunatic." The hitherto silent Ailun suddenly said.

He frowned deeply, utterly unable to tolerate this lunatic's actions, acting purely on whim, lawless, utterly unworthy of being a member of the Yulisi family.

Upon hearing the two words "lunatic," Li Wen Nian's excitement grew, and he laughed uncontrollably.

After laughing for a long time, he leaned back, arms stretched over his head, giggling: "I like being called a lunatic, big brother, could you call me that a few more times?"

Ailun abruptly stood up, coldly gazing at the languid boy: "Li Nineteen, I will see the moment you die."

Li Wen Nian, face flushed with excitement: "I also want to watch; big brother, why don't you just kill me now?"

Lanzhe spoke up at this moment to stop them: "Alright, the gambling match is about to begin."

Ailun didn't even glance at him, returning to his seat and sitting down.

In the center lay a huge disc, which determines the scale of the gambling match.

The dealer was explaining the rules of this gambling match.

At that moment, several people supported a person as they stepped into the area before the VIP seats.

The girl wore a light-blue strapless long dress, her silk-like hair cascading over her chest, her gorgeous face revealed to everyone's view, stunningly beautiful beyond compare.

Jiang Zhi tore off the black cloth covering her eyes, her vision blurry, the bright light overhead stinging, forcing tears to well at the corners of her eyes.

"Where is this? Brother Seven"

777: "Casino"

Casino?

Jiang Zhi gradually made out her surroundings; three people sat before her, all wearing masks, seated in chairs, their auras unlike ordinary people.

Lanzhe idly turned the jade ring on his thumb, saying: "Nineteen, what do you think of this surprise?"

Li Wen Nian's deep-blue pupils reflected the girl before him, the corners of his lips curving deeply upward: "Second brother's surprise I like very much; her eyes are so beautiful, I really want to gouge them out."

Lanzhe chuckled lightly: "Eyes are more beautiful when alive, and also hold the greatest collectible value."

Li Wen Nian worriedly pressed his lips, chin resting on his hand, pondering: "Is that really the case?"

Watching them discuss how to deal with her, Jiang Zhi couldn't help feeling cold; it was easy to see that the boy wearing the silver mask was the villain Li Wen Nian.

She quickly figured out why she was here: the villain's family is deeply entrenched and extremely complex, the heirs contend like beasts, and she might have been snatched by one of them simply because she was close to Li Wen Nian.

Li Wen Nian roughly pulled her into his embrace, fingers stroking along her waist, snug against her neck as he inhaled, his brows and eyes gleeful: "Second brother, is this a gift for me?"

Lanzhe wiped his fingers with a handkerchief, smiling: "Mm, she's yours now; cherish her well."

Ailun disliked this setting, gave him a cold glance, rose and left.

Li Wen Nian narrowed his eyes, watching his back as he left, a forest‑cold killing intent spilling from the depths of his eyes.

Jiang Zhi, limp in his embrace, clenched her fingers, drew a deep breath, and tried to pull back.

That person bent over and lifted her horizontally; her light‑blue skirt fluttered like butterfly wings in the air, revealing legs as smooth as white porcelain, the fragrance from the girl drifted to his nostrils, Li Wen Nian licked the corner of his mouth and strode out.

Until they reached the car.

Jiang Zhi let out a muffled "uh" as she fell into the back seat; the youth leaned in, pressing his body against hers, his thin lips kissing the edge of her ear, and whispered softly:

"You are mine now, little beauty."
