Song Zhou scoffed when he heard Enforcer Gaoâs words.
âMurder?â
âDidnât you people find such a secluded place to hurt my young master? If we counterattack now and kill you, who will find out that we did it?â
Enforcer Gao was stumped. They did ask Jiang Jingchen over here to do something to him. No one had expected that Jiang Jingchenâs men would find the place first and ambush them.
âKill me, chop me up, do whatever you want. 1 will never beg for mercy. And you can forget about my employer!â
Ji Yi chuckled and stepped on Enforcer Gaoâs body. He was a real tough guy.
âYou havenât eaten today, right? Are you hungry?â Enforcer Gao was being stepped on, but he suppressed his anger and kept quiet.
Ji Yi continued, âDo you think the weather is hot today?â
Enforcer Gao remained angry, but he gritted his teeth and kept quiet.
Ji Yi then said, âI think your employer is a man.â
Enforcer Gao blinked and looked away, but Ji Yi continued unhurriedly, âYour employer is someone in his fifties, forties, thirties, twenties⦠It looks like heâs in his twenties.â
âHow is your employer related to Jiang Jingchen?â
Enforcer Gao was frustrated. âYouâre wasting your time by asking me such nonsense. So what if you know who it is? You canât touch him now!â
Ji Yi smiled. âItâs not a waste of time. From your expressions just now, your employer is a man in his twenties and is related to my young master. There arenât many people like that. Jiang Minglang is the biggest suspect.â
âYou guys asked Jiang Jingchen to leave the office because you didnât want him to receive his inheritance, right?â
Ji Yi didnât ask these questions for fun. He was testing Enforcer Gao and watching his micro-expressions to figure out his inner thoughts. Ji Yi was an expert in behavioral science.
âItâs not that we canât get rid of Jiang Minglang, but we donât want to. Do you know why donât? Because killing someone right away wouldnât give us any sense of accomplishment!â
â1 am going to slowly torture you and your brothers to death. My job ends if you are all orphans. However, if you have any relatives or girlfriends, I will torture them the same way 1 torture you!â
âYou bastard, we are the ones who did this. What kind of man are you to torture outsiders?â
Ji Yi replied, âYou were going to harm Mr. Chen, so why canât I harm your family? You guys were the ones who committed evil first. Weâre just learning from you. Ever heard of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth?â
Enforcer Gao was so angry that his face turned red. His band of brothers wailed. They didnât want their families implicated, so they asked Enforcer Gao to do something.
Enforcer Gao was exasperated. âWhat exactly do you want?â
Jiang Jingchen spoke up. âNot much. I just want you to lie to your employer and tell him that 1 took my wife away and hurt you guys. Also, inform me of his future plans.â
âIf no one gets hurt and Iâm well, you can all live and your families wonât be implicated!â
Enforcer Gaoâs eyes widened in anger. âYou want me to be a traitor and spy for you? Noway!â
Ji Yi sneered and stepped harder on Enforcer Gao. âYou guys have kidnapped the wrong person. Itâs dereliction of duty. If your employer finds out, how do you think he will punish you?â
âEnforcer Gao, do you not believe that I will capture your relatives and cripple them one by one?â
To make his words more believable, Ji Yi took the gun from another man and shot Enforcer Gao in the leg.
A silencer was installed on the gun, so the shot did not make a sound. Enforcer Gao groaned in pain as blood flowed out of his wound, and the smell of blood permeated the air.
âEnforcer Gao, Enforcer Gao, are you okay?â A man shouted worriedly.
Without even looking at the man who shouted, Ji Yi fired a shot at his leg.
âAaargh!â
The man clutched his leg and lay on the ground, his face twisted in pain.
Enforcer Gao could endure the pain in his body, but he couldnât bear to see his brother injured in front of him.
âOkay, Iâll do as you asked!â
Jiang Jingchen looked on indifferently, like he was a passerby who had nothing to do with the situation. He walked up to Enforcer Gao, took out a beaded bracelet from his pocket, and slid it on Enforcer Gaoâs wrist.
âI didnât force you to give up your employer so you didnât break any rules. I am being considerate and trying to protect all of you.â
Enforcer Gao looked at the thing on his wrist. He felt like he was Jiang Jingchenâs dog after wearing it.
âWhat is this?â
âItâs a small gift for you. If you take it off, the thing inside may go kaboom!â
Enforcer Gao stared at Jiang Jingchen, his scalp numb. The ugly scars that covered half this manâs face made him look more terrifying than a demon.
The manâs voice continued, âIt may accidentally explode. As for you brothers, Iâm not sure if you can live and die with them.â
âJiang Jingchen, youâre a monster!â
Jiang Jingchen smiled and replied calmly, âItâs too late to realize that now!â
Jiang Jingchen stood up. Song Zhou immediately handed him a wet tissue.
Jiang Jingchen wiped his hands and said, âLetâs go. I need to be back to have lunch with my wife.â
Enforcer Gao stared at the manâs back as he walked away, fear still visible on his face.
When Jiang Jingchen arrived at home, he didnât see Tang Beibei in the living room. He asked Silent Sister, who pointed to the dance studio upstairs.
If Tang Beibei wasnât in the living room at home, she was either in the study or the dance studio.
Jiang Jingchen went to wash his hands and changed his clothes before he called on Tang Beibei.
Tang Beibei was wearing a traditional Chinese dance costume with water sleeves, which flowed elegantly as the dancer moved.
Jiang Jingchen grabbed one of her water sleeves and pulled her towards him and hugged her slender waist.
âWho is this little fairy whoâs playing at my house, huh?â
Tang Beibei chuckled and wrapped her arms around his waist. âYouâre home.â
âYes, Iâm home.â
It was a trivial sentence but one that gave people a sense of belonging.
âLittle fairy, what is this dance you are practicing?â
âItâs a modified version of the Startling Swan Dance. A teacher at the dance studio taught it to us. Itâs quite beautiful. Let me show you?â
Jiang Jingchen lowered his head and kissed her. âIf the little fairy is willing to show me, Iâm willing to watch.â
Tang Beibei gave in to his kiss, but he didnât let her go after a long while. Her breathing was a little heavy as she patted his shoulder and said coquettishly, âHubby, you need to let go of me before I can dance.â
However, Jiang Jingchen was reluctant to let go. He wrapped his arms around her waist and refused to let her go.
âIf the little fairy were to dance and fly away like a bird, wouldnât I be at a disadvantage?â
Tang Beibei laughed in amusement. âWhy would 1 fly away? Hubby, cut it out.â
She felt the change on his body and looked down. Her face flushed red.
âLittle fairy, since you wonât fly away, then stay with me for a while.â The man lowered his head and deliberately blew a breath of hot air into her ear. âYou can also dance on me. I will appreciate it with all my heart.â
âYou⦠Mm..â
