Chapter 1339: Actions Have a Price

"Boss Hong, there must have been some misunderstanding these past few years." The Liu family head was in a terrible state, completely lacking the arrogance he had just shown; he was like two different people.

"Misunderstanding? I was here when it happened just now; I saw everything clearly. May I ask, what is there to misunderstand?"

These words made the Liu family head almost lose his footing. He had already mentally whipped his second daughter countless times in his heart; this wretched thing had actually caused such a huge trouble.

"Come out and speak quickly! What exactly happened!" The Liu family head grabbed his second daughter and pulled her out, making her explain what exactly had happened.

With things having reached this point, how could she dare to speak?

Facing this silence, which was a tacit admission, the Liu family head was nearly driven mad with anger; he fiercely slapped his own daughter.

"You beast! I fed you and clothed you, and this is how you repay me? You, you are truly..." The Liu family head looked as if he was furious.

Ning Chen stood there with his arms crossed, watching this farce. As the saying goes, if capitalists can reflect on themselves, the sun must rise from the west.

"Boss Hong, I will definitely teach this thing a good lesson. This, this Wu Lin Assembly is coming up soon. Considering we also contributed to holding it here, please be lenient."

Having watched enough of the play, Miss Hongxiu yawned and looked at Gu Yanqi: "Sister, what do you think? The decision lies with you; you can do whatever you want."

Gu Yanqi looked at the girl with the swollen cheek. To be honest, forgiving the other party was impossible; after all, just now she had almost been disfigured, and moreover, after this Liu family head arrived, he had surrounded Ning Chen.

Just as Miss Hongxiu said earlier, if it weren't for Ning Chen's ability, he would probably be lying on the ground lifeless by now.

But Gu Yanqi did not want to cause trouble for Miss Hongxiu; after all, she seemed to be an important figure here. In that case, she could not be too provocative.

"I have nothing to say; let them be."

Hearing Gu Yanqi's words, before Miss Hongxiu could speak, the Liu family head beside her hurriedly opened his mouth.

"Thank you, Miss. Your heart is truly broad. How about this: I will have someone send our family heirloom to you shortly. It is a celestial jade, said to be the tears of the Flower Goddess."

Upon hearing these words, the second young lady became dissatisfied again. As if she had forgotten the pain, she widened her eyes and looked at her own father.

"Father! How can you give away our family heirloom?! Didn't you say this was meant for me in the future?!"

The Liu family head was truly going to be angered to death by this stupid daughter; how had he previously thought his own daughter was good!

What time is this? Besides, an heirloom that can save the entire manor is already very good.

"You, you shut up!"

The Liu family head slapped the other party again. This time, the second young lady's both cheeks were swollen; the beauty she was so proud of now looked ridiculously ugly.

Since the other party had offered an heirloom as an apology, and Gu Yanqi had also indicated she would let them off, Miss Hongxiu said no more.

"In that case, I hope the Liu family head will send the item to me as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes, I will have someone send it immediately."

Just as the Liu family head thought the matter was over and was preparing to leave, Ning Chen stopped them.

Looking at Ning Chen before him, who was filled with coldness and pressure, the Liu family head instinctively trembled and looked at Miss Hongxiu: "Boss Hong, this..."

Miss Hongxiu also looked at Ning Chen, seemingly not understanding what he intended to do.

She saw Ning Chen pick up the second young lady's small knife from the ground and play with it in his hand.

"A death penalty can be exempted, but a living punishment is hard to escape."

Speaking thus, Ning Chen threw the knife toward the other party. A wisp of white-gold light surrounded the small knife, which rotated around the second young lady.

The other party was already trembling with fear; her eyes were filled with terror.

Suddenly, the small knife stabbed toward her. The heart-piercing pain made the other party unable to help but scream: "Ah! My face, my face!"

A long cut appeared on her face, with flesh and skin turned inside out. Combined with the swelling, it looked quite terrifying; many people present turned their eyes away.

The knife carried Ning Chen's ability; this knife wound would heal and form a scar, but on this day every year, her face would ache terribly, and this scar would never heal completely.

The small knife fell to the ground, and Ning Chen returned to Gu Yanqi's side.

The Liu family head sighed, ignored his hysterical daughter on the ground, and had people drag her away from the scene.

None of the onlookers present expected Ning Chen to be so ruthless; at the same time, they were somewhat curious about what Gu Yanqi would do.

Gu Yanqi also did not expect Ning Chen to do this, but she was not afraid, because she understood that Ning Chen did all this for her.

Gu Yanqi took Ning Chen's hand and shook it slightly: "You've worked hard; don't be angry. Later, show me the jade they send; what kind is it? I'm afraid they might send an ordinary one to fool us."

Ning Chen smiled slightly, feeling warm in his heart: "Okay."

Lin Yi beside them interposed appropriately: "Brother Ning's move just now was truly excellent; people like this deserve some punishment!"

Xu Chenchen nodded in agreement: "I think so too, but I feel we still let them off too easily; after all, just now they were so ruthless to Brother Ning."

Lin Yi put his arm around Huo Jinglin's shoulder and said: "May I ask, Huo Menmen, what do you think?"

Lin Yi gave Huo Jinglin a nickname, called Huo Menmen, because he found that Huo Jinglin was truly too quiet!

Watching the fun and games on this side, a trace of amusement flashed in Ning Chen's eyes; this is what friends are, they will definitely support you at critical moments.

Ning Chen took Gu Yanqi's hand; after such an incident, everyone had no mood to continue, so it was better to go back, which was more practical.

Huo Jinglin glanced at Lin Yi, pulled his arm down, and then followed Ning Chen's departing steps.

"Hey, hey, hey, Brother Ning, wait for us!" Lin Yi then realized that Ning Chen and the others had already left, so he hurriedly took Xu Chenchen and chased after them.

The surrounding crowd was already stunned; they all felt that it was truly fitting for someone of Boss Hong's people.

Ning Chen and the others' departure made Gongsun Ze breathe a sigh of relief. The event he organized this time was truly hard to describe in words, but he already had trauma from it; for the next two years at least, he estimated he would not hold this event again.

Gongsun Ze cleaned up the shop and hurriedly returned home. The Liu family head's idea just now gave him a hint; he also had to go back and take some good things from his home to offer as an apology.
