Chapter 651: Hurry, Give Me a Clear Explanation
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The outcome would be Qiao Nan dying, or better off being dead, while she would continue to live well and have the last laugh.
To find someone to accompany her in her misery, or even let someone be more miserable than her, was this not something that would make one feel elated?
Qiao Nan tugged at Shi Qing’s shirt. “Why do I feel that Qiu Chenxi is behaving oddly?”
Her pair of eyes, in particular, looked confused at one point in time and vicious in another. It was as if she was going to devour someone.
“I feel the same too.” Shi Qing took a deep breath and prepped herself in a defensive mode. The Qiu Chenxi now was not a normal human being. If anything happened, she had to protect Qiao Nan well. Otherwise, how was she going to face Brother Zhai?
“What are we going to do now?” At the sight of the large sticks in the hands of these people, Qiao Nan was so worried that even her breathing became weaker.
These people were more vicious than those who were slowly regaining their feet on the ground. The look in their eyes was especially different. It was as if they were wild dogs that were accustomed to wandering in the roads, those who were used to being fearsome when competing with their kin for the meager food available.
Shi Qing pursed her lips. Given the current situation, she also wanted to ask as well. What should they do?
If she did not escape with Qiao Nan now, she and Qiao Nan would have to die here today.
Shi Qing could not help regretting. “I shouldn’t have brought you here to con this meal. The price for this is too great.”
For the sake of letting Qiao Nan have a good meal, most likely, they had to be bashed up before leaving. They would really suffer a huge loss in this case. “Qiao Nan, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect…” She did not expect that Qiu Chenxi would be like a mad dog that was driven to desperation, doing something so out of her mind.
“No need to be sorry. After all, I earned a good meal. Most importantly, I feel that if you didn’t bring me here today, most probably, I’d become more miserable.” Qiao Nan smiled bitterly.
She finally understood why Qiu Chenxi reacted so strongly when she saw her appearing here. Qiu Chenxi even spoke to her in such an unruly manner to provoke her into leaving.
It seemed like Qiu Chenxi hired two groups of people. One group was those who were lying on the ground now. The target of this group was Shi Qing.
As for the group of people who were holding sticks, they were supposed to ambush her.
Her physical strength was not only incomparable to that of Shi Qing but also simply nil.
In front of this group of fierce and merciless men, she did not even have any ability to retaliate.
Most importantly, if she resisted or did not cooperate, these people would definitely break her limbs, let alone get fresh with her and destroy her virginity of two lifetimes.
As such, how could she have been able to have a good meal like just now?
Hence, Qiao Nan knew in her heart that she had been fortunate that Shi Qing brought her along. Otherwise, she would have suffered more badly because of Qiu Chenxi.
Qiu Chenxi gave a snort and silently agreed with Qiao Nan’s words.
“Qiu Chenxi, your brains are really leaking!!” Shi Qing could not tolerate this further. “No matter what, your father is a civil servant and a leader who works for the well-being of the citizens of the country. Damn, you spent money to hire a group of hooligans to bash the citizens up. Do you wish for a life-and-death battle with your father? Even if you do, you don’t need to drag others into this dead pit!!!”
Out of her mind, she was really out of her mind. She dared to confirm that the Qiu Chenxi today was certainly abnormal.
In the past, when Qiu Chenxi flared up, she would kick up a fuss or small fight at most. She would personally go knocking on someone’s door, or curse and shout in public.
Today, Qiu Chenxi had completely taken the plunge.
Shi Qing only had one reason for saying this. If Qiu Chenxi did not wish to drag Qiu Qin down with her, she could not possibly have chosen to do this in broad daylight, especially at a time when students were just being dismissed from school. It was too easy to be spotted by others.
Once someone discovered this and called the police, although Qiu Chenxi had achieved her objective, within a few hours, everyone in Ping Cheng would know that the daughter of a high-ranking official in Ping Cheng had masterminded an attack to injure others on the streets in broad daylight. The situation would be extremely adverse.
As such, the person who would be invited for a ‘tea session’ would be Qiu Qin and not Qiu Chenxi.
“Whoever makes my life miserable, I’ll do the same to them!” Qiu Chenxi said viciously. “Uncle has resigned, so I can’t drag him down. Otherwise, I wouldn’t let you and your father off either.”
If she could not maintain her place in the Qiu family, everything else would mean nothing to her.
Qiao Nan refused to tell her who that woman was. Hence, Qiao Nan deserved a beating.
Her father had an affair behind her mother and her back and wished to give birth to an illegitimate child.
She wanted to see whether his father’s mistress would still be willing to stay with him and share his woes if he reverted to his situation before he married her mother, or even got into a worse plight than before.
Qiao Nan held her forehead. Each time she met Qiu Chenxi, she had to encounter unjustified calamities.
To have met a lunatic like Qiu Chenxi was Brother Zhai’s bad luck and also her misfortune.
True enough, it was necessary for her to keep her relationship with Brother Zhai under the wraps.
Otherwise, Qiu Chenxi would not just have hired such a group of people to beat her up and let her leave after retrieving the information today. The situation would have been much worse than this.
At the thought of that scary possibility, Qiao Nan’s face turned as white as a sheet. She felt cold and she could feel chills down her spine. Her hands gripped the collar of her shirt tightly.
The outcome of that possibility was truly not something that she could endure.
“Qiao Nan, don’t feel scared. I’m here.” Shi Qing’s expression looked just as bad. At this juncture, she had the exact same thoughts as Qiao Nan.
Nobody could predict the extreme things that Qiu Chenxi would eventually do even in a lawful and orderly society when she turned so merciless.
Qiu Chenxi was a member of the party. Even if she had committed a major crime, was expelled from the party and imprisoned, her imprisonment term could be reduced given that she was a former party member.
In addition, the Qiu family could fork out some money and exert their influence. While Qiao Nan’s entire life would be ruined, Qiu Chenxi would be released from the prison and she would remain safe and sound after a few days.
It was simply too unfair!
“You? Shi Qing, you’re not useful now. Qiao Nan, let me ask you one last time. Who is Brother Zhai’s girlfriend and what’s her name? Where does she live and what’s her family situation? How long have they been together? What’s their progress! Shi Qing, don’t you want to protect Qiao Nan and be friends with her? No matter who says the answer that I wish to know first, I’ll let you go once there’s an answer.”
There was a look of notoriety in the cold-looking eyes of Qiu Chenxi, exuding a sinister aura. It was nothing like the style of that rich man’s daughter of the Qiu family.
“She…” At the sight of those men approaching, Qiao Nan and Shi Qing wanted to escape but there was no way to do so. Qiao Nan hesitated for a while before she finally spoke.
“Don’t waste my time and make me run out of patience. I don’t care what they will do to you. If you’re decisive, I’ll also let you leave soon. Anyway, you’re not Brother Zhai’s girlfriend. Whatever means I have, I’ll only utilize them on that vixen!”
