Chapter 679 “Can’t Let Her Live (2)”
Seeing that the old man had already come before her very eyes, Bai Yan was now stuck in a predicament of whether or not to release her true strength. Issue was, if she did so, her secret would be revealed. But on the other hand, its very unlikely she would be able to leave if things continued like so….
Heaving out a long sigh, Bai Yan knew there’s no other choice. Just when she’s about to lift her hand to counter, something unexpected occurred and two figures from outside the restaurant had come before her and blocked off the path between herself and that Uncle Mu.
They are two middle-aged men, each stern looking and giving off a strong vibe like mountains that they were.
“It’s you two!” Retracting his strike, Uncle Mu looks on in shock at the newcomers: “Why are the two of you here?”
Truth was its not just the old senior who’s in utter shock, even Mu Leng who’s standing in the back were filled with disbelief like she’s seen some horrific scene.
What is Tie Long and Tie Hai doing here? Aren’t they supposed to be Elder Zhongnan’s subordinate?
“Miss Bai Yan here is the apprentice of both Elder Zhongnan and Zhongbei, hence our presence. We’ve been tasked to protect the lady. If you insist on attacking her then it would be considered an act of war against the two elder manors.”
Uncle Mu’s expression promptly changed for the worse over the threat.
Even among the elders, there are differing ranks based on their experience and contribution. Though Zhongnan and Zhonbei’s aren’t very high up the ladder, they’re still elders of the council!
What’s more, the chief himself has ordered before that in order to avoid conflict between various factions and elders, the one who makes the first move would automatically be at fault regardless of the reasoning.
“We’ve offended the two of you then,” cupping his hand at the two guardians, Uncle Mu swiftly turns around to the lady. “Milady, we should go back first, it’s getting late.”
In other words, this matter needs to be reconsidered until further discussion and that its not urgent to slay the woman today.
Nodding in return knowing full well what the senior meant: “Alright, we will leave for today. Ho Cui Cui, you come with me.”
But before the chubby lady could finish climbing up from the floor, the struggling body abruptly froze there in mid struggle.
“Who said you are allowed to go?”
The sudden voice from behind was devilishly scary to the level where she’s now instinctively obeying to save her life.
Sweating right down to her palm, the pale faced girl rigidly answered back: “Then what do you want me to do?”
Not bothering to reply to that question, Bai Yan decides to use action to tell everyone what she wanted. In a smooth grab for the other’s collar, she directly picks up the flailing girl who’s downright screaming now and throws her right out of the restaurant and onto the main street.
“This will be the one and only lesson to you. If you try to hit on my family’s fox again then I won’t just throw you out of a restaurant.” Patting her hands together to remove some of the dust, Bai Yan then returns her attention back to her son who’s still quite irritated by the whole mess. “Since today’s lunch is already ruined, why don’t we go home and I will cook you some dishes instead?”
Lighting up in the eyes as expected, Bai Xiachen nodded his head profusely in agreement. Honestly, that licking tongue was all the answer he needed to give to show his mother he’s very happy with the suggestion.
“Let’s go then.”
Under the astonishing gazes of everyone, Bai Yan ignores the looks and proudly walked out of the restaurant with her son in arm. And its unsure if its intentional or not, but when she came out of the doorway, her feet had ended stepping over Ho Cui Cui’s body who was still sprawled all over the ground from the painful toss.
The foolish girl was spinning in the head to begin with, now to be trampled again in her injured state, its almost enough to completely knock her out for good after she sprayed out a mouthful of blood.
But the angriest person here wasn’t the beaten victim though, it’s Mu Leng who’s been completely ignored to the sideline.
In light of the silence she’s showing off to the public, those shaking fists were the biggest giveaway of how irritated she truly was inside.
This woman must die!
I will never let her live!
Thinking up to here, Mu Leng’s dark personality promptly takes over and returns her back to the old self of deceit and pretense. Slowly coming before the chubby girl: “If you can still move then get up, I have something to say to you.”
