Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

Chapter 1625: Jared Feeling The Pain



Jared, his hands trembling, picked up his phone, trying to call his daughter, his wife, or anyone he could reach.

"I'm sorry to break it to you, but not only have all your men been taken down, but there's also no network available around here," Lu Lijun informed him. "That's why Noah had to connect that special device to your TV, so you can at least enjoy a nice movie of one young girl suffering—without the inconvenience of network issues."

Jared's face contorted with rage, his eyes bloodshot as if he wanted to strangle Lu Lijun. "I swear, if even a strand of her hair is hurt, I'll make you regret it."

"I'm ready for that," Lu Lijun said coolly. "Just like Yuyan, your daughter will go after those boys who are ready to hurt her the moment she enters that room. Then, she'll come after me. I'll gladly accept my punishment for plotting to harm her. Don't worry. But for now, all I want you to feel the same pain we felt."

Jared turned to Jiang Yuyan. "You won't stop him?"

Lu Lijun's hand, resting on her waist, gently rubbed her back to reassure her and keep her calm.

"I'm with him," Jiang Yuyan spoke, her voice steady. "Maybe it's time for you to see the truth of what happened back then. Only then will you understand how unfair it all was—what happened to me and my family."

"You..."

"Shh!" Lu Lijun interrupted, "Jared, don't miss the show. Look, your daughter is about to enter that room."

Jared's daughter, Sara, was walking toward the storage room at the back of the school, just like Jiang Yuyan had all those years ago. Jiang Yuyan's body trembled as the memories resurfaced, and she chose to avert her eyes from the screen.

Lu Lijun pulled her closer, pressing a soft kiss on her head to comfort her. "It'll be over soon. Or if you want, you can step out. You might not want to hear what I'm about to say to him."

Jiang Yuyan shook her head and instead buried her face in the crook of his neck, his comforting scent calming her frayed nerves. Lu Lijun wrapped his arms tightly around her, then turned his cold gaze toward Jared, who was visibly devastated.

"Want to see who's waiting for her behind that door?" Lu Lijun asked, and the scene on the screen changed. Three senior boys were inside the room, smoking and talking about absurd things that didn't fit their age.

"Lijun, stop this right now!" Jared growled angrily.

"Not going to happen," Lu Lijun replied, a mocking smirk playing on his lips.

Jared was reminded of Lu Lijun's earlier warning: 'You must have thought I have morals like my family members, but I don't. When I decide to drop them, I can resort to the dirtiest and most evil things. I'll make sure you witness it.'

A shiver ran down Jared's spine. "Okay, I admit it. My family and I were wrong. Let her go now."

"Tsk! Isn't that too soon to be apologizing?" Lu Lijun showed no sign of relenting, his eyes fixed on the screen. "Oh, look, your daughter is about to open the door. Poor girl."

Jared looked at the screen, panic rising. "Stop her!"

"I can't," Lu Lijun said coolly, his hand gently stroking Yuyan's back as he sensed her trembling. He knew this must be bringing back her worst memories. "As you can see, there's no network here. I can't tell anyone to stop her, or stop those boys."

On the screen, Sara opened the door and entered the room. The voices of the boys echoed through the speakers.

"Look who's here? A little bird, I see."

"What are you doing here, sweetheart?" one of the boys asked.

"I...."

The door shut behind her, and soon Sara's panicked voice was heard.

"I was searching for my friend. Why did you close the door? Give me back my bag!"

Jared recognized his daughter's voice clearly. Anger surged through him like a demon awakening, and he growled, "Lijun, stop this!"

Lu Lijun didn't flinch, offering only an evil smirk. "Seems like it's time to show you what's really happening in that room, behind that door. We've installed cameras inside, so you won't miss a single moment of your daughter's pain. After all, how else would you understand what Yuyan suffered?"

Jared lunged toward Lu Lijun, but before he could get close, he was kicked brutally in the chest and sent sprawling to the floor. Noah had stepped in, his expression cold. This bastard deserves more than just a kick, he thought.

A girl's scream echoed from behind the door on the screen.

Jared immediately fell to his knees, the pain from the kick forgotten. Tears streamed down his face. "I apologize," he sobbed. "I beg you let my daughter go. Don't hurt her, please." He turned to Jiang Yuyan, his voice breaking. "Ms. Jiang, you can't let my daughter suffer the same way you did. I give you my word, I'll leave this country and never return. I'll never harm your family again. I understand my brother was wrong, and I apologize on his behalf. Please... please tell him to stop. Save my daughter. She's innocent."

A loud cry echoed through the room as Jared's voice cracked with desperation. "Please, I beg you."

Jiang Yuyan's teary eyes were filled with the pain of old memories. She looked at Lu Lijun, her voice trembling as she whispered, "Lijun, please stop now. I can't bear to hear this anymore." Lu Lijun gently wiped away her tears, feeling her pain and nodded.

"Noah, show him what's happening inside the room," Lu Lijun ordered.

Jared clenched his fists, his body shaking with rage at the thought of how Lu Lijun was treating his daughter, even after he had begged. He wanted nothing more than to kill Lu Lijun right then and there, but when the screen changed, revealing the scene inside the room, he froze-completely taken aback by what he saw.
