Translator: _Min_ |
In an old, broken-down house, about five or six men were gathered around a table.
“The task went so smoothly this time. In just an hour, we dealt with that kid.” “This success is thanks to my days of research, finding out when he’d be alone.” “What’s there to be happy about? The employer was too stingy. Let’s split the money.”
Suddenly, with a loud “bang,” Gu Dai kicked open the door and entered.
Her gaze sweeping over them indifferently, she coldly asked, “Was it you who beat up Fu Nan?”
A man in a white shirt stepped forward arrogantly, “Yes, it was us. What are you going to do about it, you frail-looking woman seeking revenge for him? Hilarious, haha…”
The others laughed along.
With a swift kick, Gu Dai sent the man in the white shirt flying two meters away.
The laughter abruptly stopped, and the men, stunned for a few seconds, twisted their faces into ferocity, “Let’s all take her down, teach this woman a lesson!”
Gu Dai remained calm, knocking them down effortlessly with her feet and a stick from the ground.
The men lay on the floor, faces filled with terror.
Gu Dai, with a lowered gaze, coldly asked, “Who injured Fu Nan’s arm?”
Silence followed her question.
Seeing no one confessing, Gu Dai stepped on the arm of the man in the white shirt, causing a crisp cracking sound to echo in the silent room, followed by a sharp cry of pain.
“If no one confesses, I’ll assume you all did it together. You’ll all experience Fu Nan’s pain,” she declared.
She then moved to another man and stepped down hard.
Recognizing Gu Dai wasn’t bluffing, they hurriedly pointed out, “It’s the boss, the first man you broke the bones of, please spare us!”
Gu Dai paused her actions.
Seeing her stop, they felt a glimmer of hope, only to hear her devil-like voice again.
“Who injured Fu Nan’s leg?”
“It was him!”
“No, it was him!”
They began blaming each other, ending up all battered and bruised on the floor.
Gu Dai disdainfully glanced at them, “I came here to tell you, Fu Nan is under my protection. If you want to mess with him, think if you can get past me.”
The men nodded in agreement, “We won’t bother Fu Nan anymore.” Satisfied, Gu Dai instructed them to pass the message to their superiors. Leaving the house, she told Zheng Ming, “Give them another beating, just don’t kill them.”
Zheng Ming nodded, asking as Gu Dai prepared to leave, “Chairwoman Gu, just a beating? What if they call the police?”
“They won’t dare; they’d be the first to be investigated. As for letting them off…”
Of course, she wouldn’t let them off easily.
While fighting them, she had used acupuncture needles on their pressure points, ensuring they’d feel a stabbing pain every day at midnight.
Checking the time, Gu Dai realized it was time for dinner. She borrowed a nearby canteen to prepare wontons, packing them in a box to take to the hospital.
Approaching Fu Nan’s ward, she saw Song Ling passing by.
After a brief greeting, Gu Dai was about to enter the ward when Song Ling grabbed her arm.
“You’re injured?” Song Ling inquired with a frown.
Gu Dai swiftly freed herself, “No, I’m here to visit someone.”
After responding, she casually asked, “You’re here to see Jiang Yue?”
Song Ling felt an inexplainable sudden panic at the question, instinctively wanting to deny it.
Gu Dai, not waiting for a response, said, “I won’t disturb you. Go see her.”
Song Ling followed Gu Dai’s gaze to the ward, realizing she was feeding Fu Nan.
Song Ling’s initial panic turned to anger..
