Chapter 2874
At this moment, Yu Jiameng and Fire Phoenix felt like helpless lambs, merely spectators as Gao Qisheng approached them with a chilling smile!
“Fire Phoenix, we cannot allow this beast to defile us, even if it costs us our lives…”
Yu Jiameng declared, her determination pushing her to bite her tongue!
She was resolute; even in death, she would not let Gao Qisheng have the satisfaction of claiming them!
The Fire Phoenix, agreeing fiercely, also bit down on the tip of her tongue!
Fire Phoenix was unwilling to live if it meant surrendering her body to anyone but Kai. No man had the right to touch her, and she would rather choose death than betray him!
Seeing both women inflict harm upon themselves sent Gao Qisheng into a rage. He couldn’t fathom their loyalty—was chastity truly more valuable than life itself?
“Even if you bite your tongues and perish, I will still claim your bodies. I won’t spare your corpses, even in death…”
Gao Qisheng’s eyes burned with fury; whether Fire Phoenix and Yu Jiameng lived or died, he was determined to have them!
With a furious roar, he lunged at the two!
Suddenly, the door to the cell shattered open with a powerful kick!
The loud crash startled Gao Qisheng, forcing him to turn around!
“Second brother, what are you doing? This is utterly shameless!”
Gao Qilan’s voice rang out as she spotted Fire Phoenix and Yu Jiameng cowering in the corner, and she immediately confronted Gao Qisheng!
Gao Qisheng’s anger simmered down upon seeing Gao Qilan. “Little sister, don’t interfere in my business; you should leave this place quickly!”
“I won’t leave! As long as I’m here, you won’t bully them!”
Gao Qilan dashed over to Fire Phoenix and Yu Jiameng, shielding them behind her!
“Xiaolan, I told you to stay out of my affairs, or you’ll regret it…”
Gao Qisheng growled at her, anger flaring anew!
“Even if you’re willing to hurt them, I won’t let it happen! If you continue, I’ll go tell big brother.”
Gao Qilan invoked the name of their family head, Gao Qijiang!
With that mention, Gao Qisheng deflated, realizing that Gao Qijiang was unaware of his intentions toward the two virtuous women; otherwise, he would never allow such behavior!
“Little sister, I’m getting old. What’s wrong with seeking companionship? Why oppose me?”
Gao Qisheng attempted to placate Gao Qilan with soft words!
“Second brother, you’re of age to marry openly. With the strength of our Gao family, are you really afraid of not finding a bride?”
“You’ve stooped to this with innocent girls. What’s wrong with you? It’s disgraceful…”
Gao Qilan glared at Gao Qisheng, indignation clear on her face!
Finally, witnessing her anger, Gao Qisheng sighed in defeat and turned to leave!
Once he was gone, Gao Qilan turned to Fire Phoenix and Yu Jiameng. “Don’t be afraid, it’s alright.”
“Thank you…”
Fire Phoenix and Yu Jiameng expressed their gratitude to Gao Qilan!
“What’s the use of thanking me? If it weren’t for my second brother, you wouldn’t be in this situation.”
“Come with me; you can stay at my mansion for now. That way, my second brother won’t dare to cause trouble.”
Gao Qilan asserted, leading Fire Phoenix and Yu Jiameng out of the dungeon!
However, as they reached the exit, two guards blocked their path!
“Eldest Miss, the Second Young Master has ordered that these women cannot leave the dungeon.”
One guard said, clearly uncomfortable with the situation!
“Get out of my way!” Gao Qilan snapped coldly!
“Eldest Miss, please don’t make this harder for us; the Second Young Master might harm us.”
The guards looked resigned to their fate!
“Can Second Brother kill you all, but I can’t?”
Gao Qilan retorted, drawing her sword and pressing it against the guard’s neck!
Fear washed over the guards, and they hesitated no longer, allowing her to pass!
Gao Qilan led Fire Phoenix and Yu Jiameng away without further incident.
