Chapter 992: Turning The Tables (2)
“I was forced!” Leng Ruoxue said innocently and gave a perfectly guileless look.
“Little girl, are you going to the Artificer a.s.sociation with me?” Manager Chen asked tentatively. If he didn’t know about this, it would have been fine. Now that he knew that this little girl had burned down Di Ren’s house, if he let her escape, the president probably wouldn’t let him off.
“Okay.” Leng Ruoxue nodded. Hehe! Why not! The show has just begun!
“Alright, come with me!” Manager Chen ordered, and the group left the inn.
After Leng Ruoxue and the others left, the young man kept staring at their backs in a daze.
“Young Master! What are you looking at? They’re already gone,” The attendant beside the young man asked in confusion.
“Nothing,” the young man said, but his expression remained thoughtful.
Leng Ruoxue followed Manager Chen and the others to the Artificer a.s.sociation.
At this moment, Manager Chen already knew that Leng Ruoxue was staying behind to pay off her debt, so he arranged their accommodations together.
Because of Di Ren’s status in Artificer a.s.sociation, they were a.s.signed to a separate, independent courtyard. There were about dozens of houses in the courtyard and two gardens. It was quite s.p.a.cious. Leng Ruoxue was very satisfied with this place.
In Di Ren’s room.
Di Ren was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, while Di Ren’s butler, Butler Chen, Leng Ruoxue, and the others stood by the bed and sized up Di Ren, who was either really unconscious or faking it.
“Dear Master, is this old man dead?” Darling’s innocent voice suddenly sounded in everyone’s ears.
After hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat. However, Leng Ruoxue replied very seriously, “He seems to be dead! However, even if he’s not dead, he probably won’t live for long.”
“Oh! Then let’s celebrate!” Darling said happily.
“What’s there to celebrate? This old man still owes us money! If he dies, who will we get our money from?” Leng Ruoxue stroked Darling’s furry head and complained.
“Boohoo… then what should we do!” Darling’s beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and looked extremely pitiful.
Darling tilted its head and thought for a moment before saying, “Sweet Master, let Darling see if I can wake this old Grandpa up!”
“You have a way?” Leng Ruoxue was pleasantly surprised.
“I can try.” Darling couldn’t guarantee it can wake Di Ren.
“Manager Chen, can you let my beast try?” Leng Ruoxue asked for Manager Chen’s opinion.
“Uh! Then let it try!” The corner of Manager Chen’s mouth twitched. The conversation between the man and the beast could definitely anger a person to death. Sigh! No wonder Di Ren was unwilling to wake up. Moreover, he did not think that a small beast could have any special ability to wake someone who was still unconscious after eating the pill.
“Darling, Manager Chen gave you a chance. You have to perform well!” Leng Ruoxue reminded worriedly.
“Sure.” Darling did its best to nod.
Immediately after, a bolt of purple lightning pounced on Di Ren’s face. Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Darling’s claws flew in unison. The claw marks drew a beautiful arc in the air, bringing with them red fragments…
“Uh!” Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw this. This… this was too violent…
With Darling’s efforts, it didn’t take long for Di Ren’s face to be covered in claw marks and become a b.l.o.o.d.y mess…
“Ah! It hurts!” Suddenly, Di Ren, who was lying on the bed, roared and sat up. Darling had already jumped back into Leng Ruoxue’s arms before he said anything and looked innocently at everyone present.
“Your Excellency Di Ren, you’re finally awake. We were so worried,” Manager Chen said quickly.
“Uh! Did I pa.s.s out?” All Di could remember was that he’d been furious, but he hadn’t expected to pa.s.s out.
“Yes, I gave you a pill but you didn’t wake up,” Manager Chen explained. In fact, he wanted to say that if not for this little purple fox, you wouldn’t have woken up until now! However, he also knew that Di Ren wouldn’t be happy to hear this, so he naturally wouldn’t provoke him.
“Oh! Why does my face hurt so much?” Di Ren was puzzled and wiped his face with his hand, but he was furious when he saw the blood on his hand!
“G.o.ddammit, who did this?” Di Ren shouted, a little angrily.
“This little fox did it, master,” said the butler quickly.
“You little b*stard animal, how dare you ambush me while I was unconscious? You’re really tired of living!” Di Ren looked at Darling in Leng Ruoxue’s arms and gritted his teeth.
“Darling is not an animal,” Darling retorted with tears in its eyes, looking extremely aggrieved.
“Your Excellency Di Ren, listen to me. This little fox didn’t ambush you. He was saving you!” Manager Chen said helplessly. He couldn’t help but complain about Di Ren in his heart. Why didn’t this old man figure out the truth of the matter and accuse the beast? Even though that little fox’s methods were a little different, at least it had achieved the goal!
“Saving me? Don’t tell me all these bruises on my face were to save me?” Di Ren asked angrily.
“If not, why would you wake up?” Manager Chen said truthfully.
“That’s right! Instead of thanking my Darling, you actually scolded it. What an ungrateful hypocrite,” Leng Ruoxue said with disdain.
“Hear, hear.” Darling nodded vigorously at its cute master’s words.
“Is His Excellency Di Ren awake?”
At this moment, a slightly familiar voice sounded outside the door. Leng Ruoxue knew that the pig president was here when she heard this.
When the butler heard this voice, he immediately went to open the door. A moment later, Leng Ruoxue heard the butler’s aggrieved voice.
“President Yao, you’re finally here. You have to uphold justice for my master!”
“I’ve already heard what happened from President Lu. Don’t worry, I’ll stand up for you. Hmph! Those who dare to cause trouble in my Flame City will be expelled. And that is a light punishment.” Yao Yuan said angrily. This Di Ren was wiht him! One had to look at the owner before beating a dog! And these people clearly did not take him seriously.
