Chapter 1168: Why Do You All Treat Me Like This

Qi Shufang saw the man's ferocious face and knew that begging for mercy was no longer an option: "He Weilin, don't forget how you promised my mother back then, and how you got your current position. Do you believe I'll call home right now and let my mother deal with you?"

He Weilin didn't expect that even at this point, this woman still dared to threaten him: "A woman disowned by her family, you really think you're someone important? Go ahead, go call. I'm waiting."

All he could do now was stand on the same front as his former in-laws. As long as they wanted to protect him, the Qi family couldn't touch him. After all, his former in-laws had connections above them, and they all held important positions. If it weren't for his former mother-in-law insisting on returning to her hometown, they would probably be a noble family in the capital by now.

Qi Shufang was right; he had indeed reached his current position through the connections her mother had arranged. But so what? After all, they were the ones who approached him first. They chose him only because they saw his potential.

He knew well the principle that one cannot have both fish and bear's paw: "Qi Shufang, it's not that I won't let you go now, but Xiang Bao'er's maternal family demands answers. You committed the evil yourself; don't blame me for not protecting you."

Qi Shufang's face turned pale with fear: "He Weilin, what are you going to do?"

He Weilin walked to the washstand, washing his hands as he spoke: "Attempted murder is no small matter. Naturally, I won't shield you."

Qi Shufang's mind went blank: "He Weilin, do you dare?"

He Weilin gently wiped his hands: "You even wanted to kill my daughter. What is there I wouldn't dare? After all, Xiang Bao'er is the one connected to me by blood."

He added in his heart: A hen that can't lay eggs is naturally not comparable to Xiang Bao'er.

Qi Shufang completely broke down. Ignoring everything, she lunged at He Weilin: "Why, why do you all treat me like this?"

He Weilin didn't expect her to suddenly go mad. Even though he struggled to block her, several bloody scratches appeared on his face and neck. This made him even more furious. He directly grabbed Qi Shufang's hair: "You dare hit me."

Liu Chuxue didn't know what happened afterward with Qi Shufang. She was negotiating with the boss of the black market: "You've seen the goods?"

The black market boss was indeed very alarmed now. All were live fish, five thousand jin each of freshwater fish and sea fish, probably more rather than less.

To be honest, he was truly curious about the power behind her. After all, so many fish, and so fresh. Without heavenly connections, it would be impossible to get them.

He nodded to Liu Chuxue: "I've seen them, and I'm very satisfied. I just wonder if there will be a chance to cooperate again in the future?"

Liu Chuxue didn't answer directly but smiled: "It's better to let everything follow fate. What do you say?"

The man didn't dare say anything more. He raised his hand and beckoned to the back. Someone immediately brought over two more boxes. After Liu Chuxue checked the contents and confirmed everything was fine, she casually pointed in a direction: "Please have them deliver these over there for me. I'll come to collect them later."

Just as before, while Liu Chuxue was chatting with the man, those two boxes were wrapped in her spiritual energy and sent into her space.

Seeing the matter settled, Liu Chuxue left quickly.

The direction she went was not toward the two boxes of old objects.

Just as the man reacted and quickly looked at the place where the boxes had been, the boxes were already gone. This made him even more convinced that this woman was not to be trifled with. He was also relieved that he had always adhered to the principle of acting with a conscience and conducting business with integrity. If he had ever harbored any improper thoughts, the consequences would be something he couldn't bear.
