Chapter 24 -24: Fury (Revised)
Han Yi entered the venue with a cold expression on his face and almost instantly spotted Han Jiaojiao without even looking around.
His girl was dressed in a light pink strapless cocktail dress, her hair playfully coiled into a bun. Below her beautiful neck was a delicate collarbone and rounded, blushing shoulders. Her face resembled a cute doll, and her figure appeared as if meticulously sculpted to perfection—not too provocative to attract unwanted attention, yet not as skinny as a twig. The lustrous pearl earrings she wore gently swayed with her movements, making her look both adorable and enticing.
However, the handsome face of Han Yi grew even darker.
Qin Nanyi saw him enter and greeted him with pleasant surprise.
“Ayi! What brings you here?”

Han Yi didn’t glance at her and simply left a “I’m here to pick someone up” before heading straight towards Han Jiaojiao.
Han Jiaojiao was chatting with Han Qing about the auction item she had just won. She was in such high spirits that as soon as she returned to the venue, she consecutively bid high prices for two charity items. The jewelry might be considered worthless in the apocalyptic world, but Han Jiaojiao not only bid on them, she offered more than twice their original price.
In her past life, Han Jiaojiao would never act so recklessly. Valuing others’ opinions greatly due to her adopted status, there was a time when she was constantly compared to the daughters of wealthy families. Those unkind remarks, which branded her as a phoenix in mud, unworthy of being compared to true ladies of high society, were hard to ignore.
In this life, perhaps because she had died once, she seemed to care less about societal views or restrictions.
When Han Yi arrived, Han Qing was eagerly flaunting her knowledge about the jade bracelet to Han Jiaojiao. The sight of Han Yi, who had not appeared for a long time, suddenly choked her mid-speech.
All of the Han Family’s younger generation felt a bit afraid of Han Yi. The boys were scared of his ruthless and unyielding way of handling things, while Han Qing, as a girl, was intimidated by his year-round grim demeanor. Of all her male cousins, she had the most distant relationship with Han Yi.
Han Jiaojiao also noticed Han Yi and, filled with excitement, turned to look and immediately wanted to throw herself into his arms. However, considering the setting, she stopped herself mid-stride.
“Brother, I have a gift for you!” she said with a smiling face, her eyes curving into crescents like the moon.
Han Qing also mustered the courage to offer a greeting, “Yi, Brother.”
Han Yi’s eyes, dark as ink, fixed on Han Jiaojiao, before he imperceptibly glanced at her arm—there was a faint red mark on her right forearm. His face showed a noticeable displeasure.
Sensing his foul mood, Han Jiaojiao stepped forward and wrapped her arm around his, “Brother?”
Han Yi wrapped his arm around Han Jiaojiao’s waist without a word and started to lead her out.
With Han Yi’s expression frighteningly grim, Han Qing watched the whole process of Han Jiaojiao being led away, unable to utter a single word.
Even Han Jiaojiao herself started to feel a bit uneasy.
When she left the house, Han Yi had already gone to the outskirts to meet up with Lu Changyuan and the others, and Yan Xiao had been focused on practicing his Ability, so it’s likely he didn’t know about her departure. She guessed that her brother might be angry because of this, but she didn’t expect him to be this enraged…
As she got into her brother’s car, confused, she was about to ask him what was wrong when Han Yi suddenly kissed her fiercely! It was fierce and violent. Han Jiaojiao was frightened, not daring to move, but Han Yi became more and more aggressive.
Han Jiaojiao felt a bit of pain and struggled weakly, “Brother… don’t…”
Han Yi stopped and looked up, his eyes dark and profound. His expression was icy cold, filled with an obsessively fierce and ruthless aura!
“Why did you sneak out?”
“I didn’t, I told Yan Xiao…” she defended herself. She did tell Yan Xiao, but at the time, Yan Xiao was too engrossed in practicing and didn’t pay attention to where she was going. Yan Xiao had also underestimated just how deep Han Yi’s possessiveness over Han Jiaojiao was.
Han Yi seemed as if he couldn’t hear her voice, completely submerged in a violent emotion. He roughly lifted her skirt, “Who allowed you to dress like this?”
With a ripping sound, the fabric tore apart—
Han Yi, like an enraged beast, wildly tore at Han Jiaojiao’s dress. As he ripped, he roared lowly, “Who allowed you to dress like this?! Who gave the permission?!”
Han Jiaojiao was petrified with fear. Her clothes were torn to shreds, and Han Yi held her tightly in his embrace, even biting her viciously, leaving one bruise after another on her skin as if this could negate the mistake she made today.
Han Jiaojiao’s body trembled uncontrollably, she was in pain all over but could only grit her teeth and bear it in silence.
She knew something was off with her brother; she didn’t want to provoke him anymore and only hoped her endurance would quell his rage.
But the pain wasn’t just physical—it was psychological as well.
In her mind, she could feel her brother’s roaring, the questioning, the accusations—like explosives detonating in her head!
“Why did you leave me?!”
“Why did you dress up like that?!”
“Who did you meet looking like that?!”
“Why? Why?!”
Unable to bear it any longer, Han Jiaojiao pushed Han Yi away, crying out, “Brother! It hurts!”
Han Yi seemed as if he couldn’t hear her at all.
In agony, Han Jiaojiao clutched her head and screamed—
“Brother! It hurts! It really hurts!”
“It hurts so much! Please stop! Brother! It hurts! It hurts!…”
Han Yi’s dark eyes finally cleared a bit, and he abruptly lifted his body, only to see Han Jiaojiao covered with bruises, ranging from purples to dark reds! She hugged her head with her hands, eyes tightly shut, her face drenched in tears, repeatedly crying out, “Brother, it hurts so much!”
“Jiaojiao!… Jiaojiao?!”
Han Jiaojiao fell into unconsciousness.
……
In the villa, three men were smoking in the living room, the atmosphere heavy.
“You know the Han brother’s feelings for the girl over the years, so how could you make such a basic mistake, huh?” The slender man with delicate features flicked the ash from his cigarette while looking at Yan Xiao.
Yan Xiao grimaced, “She’s eighteen, not eight. It was just a trip outside, how could I have known Brother Han would react so strongly…”
He patted Yan Xiao’s shoulder with a teasing smile, “There, there, the hearts of parents the world round.”
“Brother Lu, you’ll have to speak up for me later with Brother Han!”
Lu Changyuan extinguished his cigarette and spoke indifferently, “On our way back, we encountered two monsters. Ayi took them out with a gun right away, not sure if there are any in the city. He probably overreacted because of this, I guess.”
“Monsters? They really appeared?” A sharp look crossed Yan Xiao’s face, “Brother Han told me that among those infected, some would turn into monsters, while others would acquire superpowers like me. Who knew it would really happen!”
“Yeah, so you could say you’ve had a brush with death as well.”
As they were talking, the sudden sound of harsh braking came from outside, the three men looked at each other and simultaneously headed towards the door—
Just to see Han Yi rushing in with the unconscious Han Jiaojiao in his arms…
