Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In a swift and decisive move, Han Shi acted just as Captain Liu was about to approach Chu Yi. With lightning-fast reflexes, Han Shi touched each of the four men, freezing them in place.
Ma Lianping, panicked at the sight, frantically called out to Captain Liu, but to no avail. Captain Liu stood motionless, like a puppet, which only intensified Ma Lianping’s fear.
“You… what do you want? I admit defeat. I’ll give you everything, all my wealth, including what I’ve earned from the company over the years. Isn’t that enough?
Please, Second Master, spare me!”
Ma Lianping pleaded, his voice tinged with genuine fear. He realized he was no match for Chu Yi and hoped to save his life by surrendering.
Chu Yi, amused by Ma Lianping’s sudden change of heart, responded with a wry smile, “You’re smart. But remember, you’re not giving it to me, you’re returning it. All that wealth was mine, and you’ve been enjoying it by usurping my place. And to think, you even betrayed me… Don’t you think you deserve to
Ma Lianping shuddered at these words, his head bowed in submission.
Satisfied with his response, Chu Yi instructed Han Shi, “Bring out the contract and restore his hands’ functionality. As tor his legs, wait until he returns everything. ”
These words were obviously meant for Ma Lianping. He was weak, pitiful, and helpless now. He did not dare to refute at all. Even though he was in pain, he could only force a smile that was worse than crying. “Don’t worry, I won’t go back on my word.”
“Go back on your word?” Chu Yi shook his head and laughed. “Shi, in case he goes back on his word, is there a way to prevent it?”
“Of course. I have poison refined by Xi here. It’s a poison that can make him rot from the inside out in three days.”
As Han Shi spoke, he took out a pill the size of a soybean from his pocket. Before Ma Lianping could react, he bent his finger and flicked the pill into his
mouth.
Ma Lianping was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat. He opened his mouth and vomited crazily. Unfortunately, he could not move his hands and feet at all.
He looked desperate.
He cursed the two of them for not playing by the rules. In the beginning, he wanted to take the money and run overseas while they were gone.
Unexpectedly, they actually had a backup plan. If he had known that they had poison, he would have taken out all his a.s.sets now.
When he returned to the Chu family, Chu Yi saw a room full of people in the living room.
Chu Xiao’s son, Ma Wei, and daughter-in-law, Li Dan, their son, Ma Xiaolong, as well as Chu Heng, Chu Heng’s wife, Zhao Ting, his daughter, Chu Yinyin, and his son, Chu Liang, were gathered in front of Old Madam Chu. It was unknown what they said, but Old Madam Chu did not look too good.
“Yi and Shi are back. I heard that you went out early in the morning. Where did you go?” Seeing her son and grandson-in-law, a smile appeared on the old lady’s face. She stood up and was about to welcome them.
“Grandma, is this my second uncle who has been missing for more than 20 years? He’s been missing for more than 20 years. Why did he come back? Grandma, he won’t come back to s.n.a.t.c.h the family a.s.sets from us, right?” Chu Liang glanced at Chu Yi and mocked.
“Hey, Liang, what are you talking about? That’s your second uncle.” Chu Heng lectured him indifferently. He turned to look at Chu Yi and said with a smile, “Second Brother, don’t mind him. I’ll teach him a lesson later.”
He did not ask his son to apologize immediately. He only said that he would go back and teach him a lesson. Who knew what would happen when they went back?
However, Chu Yi only smiled faintly and didn’t say anything. Han Shi seemed to have received a message. He flicked his finger and an invisible True Qi hit Chu Liang’s kneecap..
