Qu Yuanliang no longer knew how many tis he had fallen, his whole body ached terribly almost everywhere, but the problem was that he was now in a predicant with no easy way out.
To go down ant endless tumbling...
To go up, he still ended up rolling down...
His once handso young face was now a ss of purples and greens, with faint traces of blood oozing from the brows, a result of scraping his face in a mont of inattention...
Unable to go up and in agony trying to go down, Qu Yuanliang's face nearly turned green with frustration.
But in the end, after much thought, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue downward, for he was here to beg Qin Fang for forgiveness, or else he would be kicked out of the Qu Family's house.
For this purpose, he had already prepared himself for the worst, and now it was too late for regrets.
"Qin, just you wait—if I seize the opportunity, I'll make you pay... Ouch..."
Yet, the hatred for Qin Fang deepened in his heart, a re description of 'gnashing his teeth' couldn't even begin to convey a fraction of his resentnt.
If it weren't for the relationship between Qin Fang and the Qu Family and the fear that the old master would pursue the matter, Qu Yuanliang would wish nothing more than to have soone kill Qin Fang right away.
Descending the stairs, Qu Yuanliang's falls were tragic, with pain all over his body; to those who knew, it was clear he fell by himself, to those who didn't, it might appear he had been ambushed and beaten by hundreds.
Ascending was an even more pitiful sight, almost laboring step by step, until eventually, he could only crawl up the stairs.
Hands, feet, body—every part of him sporadically beca stiff, completely losing control as if he had turned into a machine.
Yet after each fall, this stiffness would disappear montarily as if it had never existed at all.
And when Qu Yuanliang attempted to climb the stairs again, that stiffness would suddenly reappear, at tis anticipated, sotis strikingly sudden...
In short, Qu Yuanliang tried to find a pattern, but ultimately, he was unsuccessful. When he was supposed to fall, he still fell, and when he shouldn't have, he would still suddenly tumble...
Shen Liang grew bored downstairs, initially thinking it would take Qu Yuanliang at most ten minutes to reach the ground floor, but it turned out to be more than twenty minutes of waiting.
When he finally saw Qu Yuanliang, he didn't recognize him at first glance. It was hard to associate this swollen and bruised man with the previously handso and youthful Second Young Master Qu.
But considering what Second Young Master Qu had done to Qin Fang and Qin's demand, Shen Liang had an inkling of what had happened.
However, he wasn't in a position to remind Qu Yuanliang of anything. The young man had brought this upon himself... Second Young Master Qu beca so wretched without Qin lifting a finger, it was all self-inflicted, and even the police wouldn't find a shred of evidence against Qin.
As Qu Yuanliang continued to crawl upward from the first floor, Shen Liang took the elevator up to inform Qin Fang about the situation.
Qin Fang was calm about this, as if he had expected it all along. Clearly, he had orchestrated the entire ordeal. It wasn't realistic to expect Qu Yuanliang to simply kneel, after all.
But employing other thods could well be just as effective as making Qu Yuanliang kneel directly.
For instance, this kind of challenge of going up and down stairs, which seems deceptively simple, but to do so without a scratch was utterly impossible.
Even a formidable Martial Arts Expert, put through Qin Fang's tornt, might not end up any better off than Qu Yuanliang...
Qin Fang used Silver Needle to seal several of Qu Yuanliang's ridians in an extrely unique way, leaving a trace of his True Qi behind. Each activation would cause a sudden halt in so part of the body, leading to uncontrollable falls...
After a full hour, Qu Yuanliang finally made it from the first floor to the top, his body covered in bruises, gasping for air in front of Qin Fang; such actions only exacerbated the pain and twitching of his face... He looked pitiful!
"I... I've completed it... you..."
Gasping for breath, Qu Yuanliang spoke with great difficulty, his mouth completely distorted from intense pain—it had taken trendous effort to get the words out.
"Go back..."
Seeing the extent of Qu Yuanliang's misery, it was sothing that would make anyone's heart wrench, yet Qin Fang seed to not have seen anything at all, not even lifting his eyelids as he dismissed him with such a simple sentence.
"You..."
Upon hearing Qin's response and noting his attitude, Qu Yuanliang was instantly afla with rage—his eyes appeared to breathe fire.
Qin had personally promised that all would be forgiven as long as Qu Yuanliang completed the challenge. But now, badly injured and scarred upon completing it, Qin suddenly reneged on his word—how could Qu Yuanliang not explode in anger?
"Don't compare to soone of your morals. I keep my promises; you can leave now..."
Gazing at the fury etched across Qu Yuanliang's face, Qin Fang slowly raised his head, showing a disdainful sneer that gave no face to Qu Yuanliang, and then proceeded to evict him without any courtesy.
"Mr. Qu, please leave..."
Shen Liang understood the cue and imdiately took the initiative to "help" Qu Yuanliang, forcibly holding him up and preparing to drag him out.
Shen Liang wasn't one of Qu Yuanliang's n, and he certainly didn't hold back at all, seemingly targeting the precise spots on Qu Yuanliang's body that were in pain to ensure his "help" landed there.
Just by looking at how Qu Yuanliang's face was almost contorted with pain, one could tell how miserable he was at this mont. And Shen Liang's betrayal had nearly brought him to tears.
"I can walk by myself..."
But showing too much weakness in front of Qin Fang, he clenched his teeth, endured the pain, pushed Shen Liang away, and stated with forced resolve.
"Whatever..."
Qin Fang rely responded indifferently, too lazy to even glance at him, and continued to focus on his own matters. This response crushed Qu Yuanliang's freshly summoned courage as if it were a punch to a bundle of cotton, leaving him feeling utterly deflated and uncomfortable.
But his objective had been reached, and now he didn't dare to do anything to Qin Fang, so he could only snort coldly and limp away from Qin Fang's presence.
Ouch~~
However, his resolve didn't last long; almost as soon as he stepped out of Qin Fang's room, a faint cry of agony could be heard from him. Regrettably, his affliction of suddenly freezing up had not vanished...
Qin Fang couldn't care less about small fries like Qu Yuanliang. Did the guy really think it was over? He couldn't be more deluded...
Qin Fang knew the asure of his actions; it would take at least three days for this condition to completely vanish.
During these three days, Qu Yuanliang would have to maintain his current state.
If he just stayed at ho quietly without running around, naturally he would recover slowly, but if he tried to act tough and show off, it's quite possible sothing might happen to him.
Like driving—
When driving at a high speed, if his body suddenly freezes, unable to steer the wheel or hit the brakes, a bad turn could be fatal.
But would Qin Fang care about this?
Obviously not.
Even though by bloodline, Qin Fang and Qu Yuanliang are cousins, emotionally, Qin Fang feels not a shred of affection for Qu Yuanliang, only hatred.
Besides, once Qin Fang confirms that Qu Family was behind Qin Tiannan's disappearance, not just Qu Yuanliang but the entire Qu Family would beco Qin Fang's enemies, and he would show no rcy whatsoever.
...
What's feared most invariably happens.
After leaving Qin Fang, Qu Yuanliang was consud with an intense hatred for Qin Fang, and so he took to the roads in his car.
Thinking of Qin Fang, whom he despised to the bone, Qu Yuanliang found it unbearable and imdiately called his good friend, Brother Sanshui, to inquire about his progress.
"Brother Sanshui, how did that task you took on turn out?"
Qu Yuanliang's tone wasn't very pleasant, feeling that Brother Sanshui's efficiency was too low, as he still hadn't made a move against Qin Fang.
"Qu Yuanliang, you motherfucking bastard! You still have the guts to call ? Believe it or not, I'll bring people over to chop you to death right now..."
He would have been better off not calling at all. As soon as he did, a roaring voice from Brother Sanshui erupted from the other end of the phone, so loud it nearly burst Qu Yuanliang's eardrums.
And the temper of Brother Sanshui was clearly explosive, his fury directed not at anyone else but his supposed good friend Qu Yuanliang, leaving Qu Yuanliang himself utterly puzzled.
"Brother Sanshui, what do you an by this?"
No matter what, Qu Yuanliang didn't want to be inexplicably wronged, so he asked in bewildernt.
At that mont, the car was approaching a curve, and Qu Yuanliang was getting ready to turn the steering wheel...
But just then, Qu Yuanliang's arms suddenly couldn't move, both hands simultaneously frozen in place, rigid as if they no longer belonged to him.
"Ah..."
This was a curve, and without being able to steer, the car headed straight ahead. At this instant, Qu Yuanliang had no mind to speak with Brother Sanshui; a scream escaped his lips, startling Brother Sanshui on the other end of the phone.
Bang~~
Before Brother Sanshui could ask what was happening, a loud crash rang through the phone, sounding as though sothing had collided with great force. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to vote for it at Qidian (qidian). Your support is my greatest motivation.)
