Chapter 4

Mary wanted to say something else, but seeing the bloodshot eyes of Han Chen, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

A sense of foreboding surged into her heart.

“Did you kill Brother Kun?”

Han Chen, with red eyes, stared straight at Mary.

Hearing this, Mary was stunned on the spot.

Even with Mary’s cunning, she couldn't remain calm at this moment.

“Why did you kill Brother Kun! You knew Brother Kun saved my life! Why did you frame me for such an unrighteous act!”

Han Chen roared, pushing Mary into the corner of the wall.

“You worked under Brother Kun for so many years, I just wanted you to rise to the top...”

Mary explained.

“Rise to the top? I think you were so blinded by your affair with Huang Zhicheng!”

Han Chen’s words stunned Mary again.

She thought that no one would ever know about her affair with Huang Zhicheng, never expecting to hear it from Han Chen’s mouth.

In an instant, Mary’s face turned pale, devoid of any color.

Mary understood that Han Chen already knew everything; no explanation would be of any use.

The next moment, Mary’s neck tightened as Han Chen’s hands clamped down hard.

“After you go down there, apologize to Brother Kun for me.”

Han Chen gritted his teeth, the words squeezed out from between them.

Then he gradually applied pressure.

Mary’s struggle grew weaker and weaker.

A few minutes later.

She stopped moving altogether.

“Gold Coin +5!”

The moment Mary died, a system notification appeared in Ni Yongyao’s mind.

Until her death, Mary never imagined that killing Ni Kun would not only fail to let Han Chen rise to the top, but would instead lead to her own death.

And she died at the hands of Han Chen.

Han Chen looked at Mary’s hollow eyes, a painful expression appearing on his face, but he forcibly suppressed it.

Han Chen was a man who valued relationships and righteousness.

If Mary had only killed Ni Kun, then no matter what, Han Chen could never have killed Mary with his own hands.

But Mary had also been with Huang Zhicheng, which for Han Chen was an unforgivable betrayal.

“Mr. Ni, this is my loyalty to the Ni family.”

Han Chen took a deep breath and looked at Ni Yongyao.

Ni Yongyao witnessed the process of Han Chen strangling Mary, but from beginning to end, he didn't even frown.

It was as if the scene before him was the most ordinary thing.

“Nice ring.”

Ni Yongyao’s gaze fell on Han Chen’s wedding ring, a playful smile appearing on his face.

Han Chen was just about to take off the ring when a clatter sounded, and a dagger dropped in front of him.

“Use it to take the ring off.”

Ni Yongyao ordered indifferently.

Han Chen was stunned, then immediately understood Ni Yongyao’s meaning.

Strangling Mary wasn't enough.

Han Chen was silent for a few seconds, then picked up the dagger and cut hard at his ring finger.

Pfft!

The finger was severed at the root.

Han Chen ignored the excruciating pain and the bleeding, trembling as he held up the severed finger and knelt on one knee before Ni Yongyao.

“Mr. Ni, please accept my loyalty.”

Han Chen said respectfully, his head bowed.

Seeing this scene, a satisfied expression finally appeared on Ni Yongyao’s face.

PS: The new book is setting sail. I beg you all to vote for some flowers, evaluation tickets, and monthly tickets! ....

“From now on, you are a member of the Ni family.”

Ni Yongyao took Han Chen’s severed finger and patted Han Chen on the shoulder.

“Thank you, Mr. Ni.”

Han Chen gasped for air, “As for Huang Zhicheng, I will find an opportunity to finish him off and avenge Brother Kun.”

In a short time, Han Chen’s emotions had fluctuated wildly, and he had killed his wife and cut off his own finger; his willpower was already astonishing to be able to hold on until now.

“Don’t worry about Huang Zhicheng; I have my own arrangements.

Go find Third Uncle and have him help you treat your wound.”

Ni Yongyao ordered.

Han Chen didn't say anything more, then staggered to his feet and left the study.

“Storm Shadow, keep an eye on him. If he has any improper thoughts, just finish him.”

After Han Chen left, Ni Yongyao gave another order to Storm Shadow.

“Yes, Mr. Ni.”

Storm Shadow nodded.

Afterward, Ni Yongyao casually tossed Han Chen’s severed finger into the trash can.

He then used a white silk handkerchief to meticulously wipe the bloodstains from his hands.

After doing this, Ni Yongyao glanced at Mary’s body.

“Chop it up and feed it to the dogs.”

Ni Yongyao said.

Even if Mary had been a charming young woman in her lifetime, it wouldn't have made Ni Yongyao frown.

Not long after.

Third Uncle and Ni Yongxiao walked into the study.

“A-Yao, what happened to Han Chen? His finger is severed.”

Third Uncle asked as soon as he entered.

But then, Third Uncle saw the body in the corner.

Ni Yongxiao also saw it and recognized that this was Han Chen’s wife.

“Big Brother?”

Many thoughts flashed through Ni Yongxiao’s mind as he waited for an explanation.

“She was the one who sent people to kill the old man, and she was also the one who bribed those three bodyguards.”

Ni Yongyao said, having Storm Shadow play the videotape again.

Watching the television screen, the expressions of Third Uncle and Ni Yongxiao gradually changed.

“Stinking bitch! How dare she kill Brother Kun!”

Third Uncle turned to look at Mary’s body, wishing he could take a bite out of her.

“Big Brother, how do you plan to deal with Han Chen?”

By comparison, Ni Yongxiao was much calmer.

“Han Chen was unaware of this matter, and Han Chen has already proven his loyalty to the Ni family.

From now on, treat him as one of our own.”

Ni Yongyao said indifferently.

Hearing this, Ni Yongxiao frowned.

With Ni Yongxiao’s personality, he always put family first, let alone his own biological father.
