S.C.I Mystery Series Volume 2 Chapter 50

Murderer vs Murderer 23 - Save

---

Benjamin looked at Bai Yutang with a cold expression. His mouth slowly turned up, bringing out a trace of sullenness as he said “I actually expected you to be difficult to tame, but this is quite interesting, isn’t it?” Benjamin reached out and wanted to grab Bai Yutang’s arm.

Although Bai Yutang had his hands handcuffed, he swiftly avoided Benjamin without looking at him. Raising his hands unceremoniously, he moved to elbow Benjamin’s chin.

Benjamin tried to avoid it, but Bai Yutang was too fast and he hit the side of his chin. Frowning, Benjamin took a few steps back. Licking the corner of his mouth, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, “You’re so merciless.”

Bai Yutang looked at Benjamin vigilantly. Frowning, sharp eyes, messy hair, and an open collar; inadvertently, he still showed a bit of unruly sexiness. Benjamin stuck his tongue out and licked the corner of his bloody mouth while taking off his coat.

Bai Yutang moved away from the window while still looking at Benjamin. He carefully chose an angle so that he could deal with him in one hit later.

“I did practice fighting.” Benjamin said in a low voice, “But I won’t be so stupid as to try to subdue you in that manner.”

Bai Yutang frowned slightly. He saw Benjamin walk to the bed, stretch his hand out, and gently pat the bedpost, “This bed is something that I realized would be able to make you obedient.”

“I have thought about catching you many times. But what happens after I catch you? You will never be obedient.” Benjamin spoke with regret, “I am not willing to use drugs on you. That only leaves one option, and that is to minimize your destructive power.” As he spoke, he stretched his hand out and gently held the control dial that was on the top of the bedpost.

“The chain on your waist is conductive.” Benjamin said lightly. Seeing that Bai Yutang’s face paled a bit, he smiled, “Don’t be afraid, the electric current is very weak. It won’t hurt your organs or cause any burns, but it will make your whole body numb!” After speaking, he turned the dial.

In an instant, Bai Yutang felt a sharp pain all over his body; it was like acupuncture. He frowned, reaching out to grab the window railing beside him to stop him from falling over. Benjamin quickly turned off the electricity and looked worriedly at Bai Yutang, who was leaning on the railing, “Is it that uncomfortable?”

Bai Yutang raised his face and glanced at Benjamin coldly. A faint trace of anger could be seen in his eyes.

Benjamin was taken aback; he was attracted to the look in Bai Yutang’s eyes. Slowly approaching him, Benjamin stretched his hand out and tried to touch his face. However, before he was able to make contact, he saw Bai Yutang stretch his hand out and grab his wrist.

“Ah!” Benjamin let out a scream and abruptly stepped back, looking at his wrist. Fortunately, Bai Yutang was just electrocuted, which weakened him, otherwise, his wrist would have been broken. Despite Bai Yutang being weakened, Benjamin was still in pain and couldn’t move his wrist. Frowning, he said “You really are cute and fierce.”

Bai Yutang recovered a little, taking a few breaths and standing up straight.

“It seems like I can’t feel sorry for you.” Benjamin said as he moved to twist the dial again. Fortunately, Bai Yutang was prepared this time. With one hand, he violently swung the long chain attached to his waist. With a ‘crash’, the chain hit Benjamin directly in the face.

“Hmm…” Benjamin stepped back towards the door. Clutching his nose, blood started to drip out. He looked at Bai Yutang in disbelief.

The two of them were in a stalemate. Benjamin reached out and took a few tissues from the box next to him, wiping his nose. The anger in his eyes became stronger and stronger. He stared at Bai Yutang and said “I can’t even touch you, huh?!”

He saw that Bai Yutang didn’t respond and was still showing vigilance and disgust on his face. Benjamin stepped back and spoke coldly, “You forced me to do this. I will make you obey me today!” After he spoke, he reached for a dial by the door.

Bai Yutang froze; unexpectedly, Benjamin had installed more than one control dial. This time, the current was obviously stronger than the last time. Bai Yutang felt a tingling pain penetrating his whole body, instantly suffocating him.

Benjamin turned the electric current off. Before Bai Yutang had a chance to recover, Benjamin rushed up and grabbed his arm, pushing him down onto the bed. Although Bai Yutang was still muddled from the shock, he instinctively raised one knee and hit Benjamin’s lower abdomen.

“Uh…” Unable to avoid Bai Yutang, Benjamin wheezed as he was hit

“Ah!” Benjamin suddenly yelled. He rushed up in a craze and pushed Bai Yutang, who wanted to sit up, back onto the bed. He held him down and yelled “Do you have to anger me? I would rather kill you and soak you in formalin! You belong to me!”

Bai Yutang recovered a bit. Looking at the furious Benjamin, he quickly decided that the strength he currently had was enough to retaliate and kick him away. However, Benjamin would definitely shock him again if he was pushed back towards the dial. If he was electrocuted anymore, he wouldn’t be able to resist at all. However, there was another way to deal with him; he could directly strangle him with the chain…

Just as he was thinking, Bai Yutang suddenly heard footsteps coming from the door.

The footsteps sounded a little hurried and Bai Yutang felt a slight movement in his heart. He decided to take a gamble and he kicked Benjamin, who was about to tear his shirt open.

Benjamin didn’t have any defense against him and he fell back, hitting the door frame hard.

“he…he…” Benjamin used a lot of energy to stand up. He wanted to reach for the dial again, when he suddenly heard someone outside the door report to him in English, “Boss, someone is looking for you.”

Benjamin’s furious mood stabilized a little. His eyes looked at Bai Yutang for an instant, and he asked impatiently, “Who?”

“He said his name is Zhan Zhao.” The subordinate replied.

Benjamin was stunned and Bai Yutang frowned slightly, although he expected it…

At first, Benjamin was filled with confusion, thinking ‘how could Zhan Zhao know we are here?’. However, when he saw the worried expression on Bai Yutang’s face, he felt a sudden burst of happiness in his heart. He looked at Bai Yutang with a sneer, “Rest well. We will continue this tonight.” After speaking, he quickly stepped out of the room.

Seeing Benjamin leave, Bai Yutang let out a sigh of relief. He weakly leaned back on the bed and said in his heart, “Cat, be careful.”

Benjamin was too excited and he walked over quickly. He saw Zhan Zhao standing in the living room with Zhao Jue beside him.

After seeing Zhan Zhao, the anger in Benjamin’s heart grew even stronger. He recalled how Bai Yutang would not touch him at all, but would take the initiative to fall in love with the man in front of him, and even go as far as being obsessed with him. Benjamin wanted to capture this man, torture him, and let him die in front of Bai Yutang. (Angel: someone already tried that and it didn’t work out too well for them…)

When Zhan Zhao and Zhao Jue saw Benjamin, they were slightly taken aback. They saw that Benjamin looked messy; the corners of his mouth were split and there was blood under his nose.

“Hahaha…” Zhao Jue laughed with a smile, “That little tiger really bites people!”

Zhan Zhao’s face turned cold. Bai Yutang is not stupid; after being caught, he must have been waiting for rescue and stalling Benjamin. He would not hurt him for no reason; that is to say, Bai Yutang was fighting back to defend himself. Thinking about what Benjamin did to make Bai Yutang do this, Zhan Zhao’s originally amber eyes darkened slightly. His eyes revealed a chilling feeling, and his anger grew stronger and stronger, almost as if his unstoppable killing intent was about to break free.

Zhao Jue noticed the changes in Zhan Zhao. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes and he was so excited that he was shaking slightly.

Benjamin tidied his appearance, taking a tissue from the table and wiping away the blood from under his nose. He restrained his hatred and asked Zhan Zhao “What’s the matter?”

Zhan Zhao didn’t speak but simply stared at Benjamin.

Benjamin was a little puzzled and raised his eyes to look at Zhan Zhao’s. His eyes were different that the clear eyes he usually saw; they had become as dark as obsidian and it was as if there was no bottom to his eyes. Benjamin couldn’t help but stare into them.

After about half a minute, he heard Zhan Zhao ask “Is Yutang here with you?”

Benjamin froze for a moment before returning to his senses, feeling a little inexplicable. After looking at Zhan Zhao, he smiled a little triumphantly, “To be precise, he is in my bed.”

Zhao Jue raised his eyebrows after hearing this and Zhan Zhao sighed lightly. Benjamin’s pride was a façade; there was a trace of unwillingness and jealousy that flashed in his eyes, indicating that he knew that he could not fulfil his goal… Fortunately, the rescue came early.

After clearing his mind, Zhan Zhao spoke calmly, “Release Yutang.”

Benjamin smiled. He walked to the sofa and sat down, “As far as I know, Bai managed to keep you from getting caught. However, it seems as though you are stupid enough to come here on your own…”

Before he finished speaking, he heard Zhan Zhao ask “Guess… How did I know that Yutang is here?”

Benjamin was taken aback for a moment. He frowned and looked at Zhan Zhao.

“Someone told me.” Zhan Zhao read a book that was on the table, “Guess who it was?”

Benjamin was shocked. He was so mad earlier that he didn’t even think about how Zhan Zhao knew that he was here or why he dared to come alone.

“I’ll show you something.” Zhan Zhao suddenly raised his wrist and looked at his watch, whispering “There are still thirty seconds left.”

Benjamin was taken aback. He instinctively looked up at the clock hanging on the wall. As he watched the second-hand shift little by little, Benjamin started to feel a little weak... He didn’t know what was happening to him.

As he was in a daze, he suddenly heard Zhan Zhao whisper, “Come.”

Benjamin was taken aback. He abruptly opened his slightly closed eyes and heard Zhan Zhao snap his fingers softly. At the same time, there was a loud noise outside.

Benjamin rushed to the window in surprise and saw an explosion out in the yard. He looked back at Zhan Zhao in confusion, “How could this be…”

Zhan Zhao smiled slightly, “The person who you betrayed is very angry now… You know, he knows everything that you did.”

Benjamin looked outside in horror. He heard the snap of Zhan Zhao’s fingers suddenly sound in his ears, and then his vision turned blood red.

Benjamin clearly saw the WOLF special forces appearing in the yard. They were armed with bazookas and submachine guns, killing all of the guards around the villa and setting fire to the surrounding area. He also saw werewolves rushing forward, trying to bite him.

“Ahhh!!” Benjamin screamed and resisted. He frantically tried to evade the werewolves, but he continued to feel the pain.

Standing in the living room, Zhao Jue saw Benjamin crazily rolling over the sofa, slapping around him; his blood-red eyes were full of panic.

“Dream hypnosis?” Zhao Jue turned to look at Zhan Zhao and asked excitedly, “Little cat, how did you make his brain sleep instantly?” (Angel: The author uses 梦境催眠 which directly translates to dream hypnosis. I did some research and the best I could come up with was that dream hypnosis is making someone experience something dreamlike while they are still physically awake.)

Zhan Zhao suddenly turned his eyes to look at Zhao Jue. Zhao Jue was taken aback for a moment and his heart raced. He clutched his heart and asked “You… When did you learn this?”

The colour of Zhan Zhao’s eyes had become darker and darker, and there was no bottom to the darkness. He slowly spoke to Zhao Jue, “What’s strange about me knowing it? You can also do this. You should remember, I said it before, whoever takes my most precious thing, I want them to die…”

“Cat, what are you doing?!” Before Zhan Zhao could finish speaking, he heard Bai Yutang’s voice suddenly come from the hallway. Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment. He raised his eyes and saw Zhao Zhen supporting Bai Yutang in the doorway of the living room. Bai Yutang still had the electronic handcuffs on his wrists, but the chain around his waist had been torn off by Luo Tian. Luo Tian dragged a few guards behind him that he had already beaten up.

“Xiao Bai!” Zhan Zhao quickly rushed over and saw Bai Yutang’s pale face. He saw him being supported by Zhao Zhen as if he was a little weak.

“Did he use any drugs on you?” Zhan Zhao was startled.

From the side, Zhao Zhen said “It looks like he was electrocuted,”

Zhan Zhao frowned. Just as he was about to turn back and look at Benjamin, who was still screaming on the sofa, he heard Bai Yutang scream, “Cat!”

Zhan Zhao was taken aback and looked at Bai Yutang.

“Look at me.” Bai Yutang stared at Zhan Zhao, “Who are you?”

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a while before he started blinking slowly. The colour of his pupils slowly lightened and returned to their clear amber colour. He opened his mouth and whispered “I’m Zhan Zhao.”

Bai Yutang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, “That’s right, you are Zhan Zhao.”

Zhan Zhao felt that Benjamin’s scream was intolerable and turned to look at him. When he looked back at Bai Yutang, he instantly felt uneasy, like a kid who knew that they did something wrong.

Bai Yutang stretched his cuffed hands out and gently touched Zhan Zhao’s ear in a comforting manner, whispering in a low voice, “He shocked me three time in total. You helped me teach him a lesson with this, I am very relieved.”

Zhan Zhao nodded. He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers at Benjamin, then patted him heavily with both his hands. With a “pa”, Benjamin slowly stopped. However, he was already hurt all over by then. He stared weakly and blankly at everyone in front of him.

Luo Tian walked over and searched him, finding a small key and a silver ring. The ring looked a bit familiar and had the letters “Zhan Zhao” and a cute kitten engraved on it. Luo Tian walked back and gave Zhan Zhao the ring and the key. Turning back, he took out his handcuffs, handcuffed Benjamin, and lifted him up.

“Xiao Bai.” Zhan Zhao used the key to unlock the electronic handcuffs on Bai Yutang’s wrists and he put the ring back on Bai Yutang’s middle finger, looking up at him apologetically.

Bai Yutang hugged him, lowered his head, and spoke into his ear, “Don’t worry, I am okay. I knew you would definitely come to save me.”

A smile appeared on Zhan Zhao’s face. He lifted his face slightly and met Bai Yutang’s lowered lips. The two kissed gently.

Zhao Zhen walked away, gently tilting his head towards Luo Tian.

Luo Tian escorted Benjamin outside. Benjamin turned his head and saw Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao’s lingering hug and kiss. He felt as thought they were unspeakably dazzling.

Outside, the twins had already taken care of all of the guards. Bai Chi looked around worriedly and let out a sigh of relief when he saw Zhao Zhen nod at him. At that time, there was already a helicopter sent by Bai Jintang in the sky, slowly descending. Several people escorted Benjamin onto the helicopter.

Zhao Jue walked out of the living room and looked back quietly. The kiss between Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang was finally over. The two looked at each other and Zhan Zhao spoke with guilt and unease, “Xiao Bai, I just…”

“It doesn’t matter.” Bai Yutang hugged him. He reached out to touch the back of his neck and whispered in Zhan Zhao’s ear, “It’s not the first time I have seen you turn into a little devil. I still love you, even when you are like this.”

Zhan Zhao nodded and leaned against Bai Yutang’s shoulder, “I won’t be like that again.”

……

Zhao Jue watched them from the doorway and his eyes turned red. He angrily turned and walked out, just in time to see Bai Chi who was waiting curiously at the door.  Zhao Jue suddenly raised his foot and stomped on him.

“Ah…” Bai Chi was startled and Zhao Zhen, who was next to him, pulled him into his arms, looking at Zhao Jue in confusion.

Zhao Jue fiercely glared at Bai Chi and said “Everyone with the surname Bai is bad!” After he spoke, he got onto the helicopter with a murderous look and ignored everyone.
