My Ares Son-in-Law

"You just said you wanted to do something to Zhou Keying, to ruin her appearance and teach her a lesson she'd never forget?"

Xiao Chen asked casually as he fiddled with the delicate folding knife in his hand.

His voice was very calm, but it carried a terrifying sense of menace.

Liu Yanqiu stared at the knife, but couldn't say a word. She wanted to speak, to explain, but was completely filled with fear.

The next moment, Xiao Chen casually swiped.

Liu Yanqiu screamed in terror.

"Hehe, I haven't done anything yet, what's your name? I just scared you a little and you almost fainted? Compared to Zhou Keying, you are really far inferior."

Xiao Chen smiled and shook his head, then suddenly made a move.

After a few screams, Xiao Chen didn't bother to look at Liu Yanqiu again.

He walked back to the sofa, where Zhou Keying was still fast asleep.

"Sigh, you silly girl, why do you have to do that? You're just too proud. I told you I'd come with you, but you wouldn't listen. This world is much darker than you imagine."

He shook his head before carrying Zhou Keying on his back.

Now that things here are done, it's time to go home. As for the rest, he doesn't need to worry about it; Di Tianyan will handle everything.

Standing beside the broken wall, Xiao Chen glanced back at the two guys who looked like dead dogs: "You should really be glad that Zhou Keying is still alive, otherwise, you would have suffered a price ten times worse than today."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward.

Twenty stories high beneath his feet, but to Xiao Chen, it felt like flat ground.

The next moment, he flashed and disappeared into the night sky as a blur.

This time, he didn't waste any time; the straight-line distance from Baoqiu Building to his own villa was a full twelve kilometers.

It took him less than ten seconds.

Back home, he put Zhou Keying in her room.

Yun Yuyan was still awake and was startled when she saw this scene.

"Help me, cover her with a blanket."

Xiao Chen walked out of the room.

Yun Yuyan covered Zhou Keying with a blanket and then came out. "What happened? I see tear stains in the corners of her eyes. She looks like she was frightened!"

Xiao Chen didn't speak. He walked to the window and looked in the direction of Baoqiu Building in the distance, his eyes gradually becoming deep and cold.

In this world, there are some bottom lines that must never be crossed.

For example, the people he protects are his Achilles' heel.

And everything he had just done to Huang Dabao and Liu Yanqiu—paralyzing them from the neck down, disfiguring them, turning them into living dead…

It was never a punishment.

It was just a warning.

If anyone dares to harm those around him in the future, he will show no mercy next time, leaving them no chance to even survive.

He glanced in the direction of the Zhou family, a faint, cold smile curving his lips.

Thirty million yuan worth of building materials on credit?
Did he personally push Zhou Keying into the tiger's den?

Grandma Zhou, you'd better pray that tonight's events haven't left Keying with even the slightest psychological trauma. Otherwise...

He withdrew his gaze and looked at Yun Yuyan.

It was late at night.

The lights of thousands of homes in the provincial capital were on, and everything seemed normal, calm and undisturbed.

No one knew what thrilling event had occurred in the office on the 20th floor of the building on this ordinary night.

No one knows that a couple has become the living dead, lying on the urine-soaked ground, staring at the ceiling with their eyes open, unable to even turn over, their remaining lives filled with despair.

No one knew what kind of extraordinary being the man who carried the girl and stepped off the twentieth floor was.

Xiao Chen told Yun Yuyan what had just happened, wanting Yun Yuyan to spend time with Zhou Keying so that Zhou Keying wouldn't be traumatized.

"That old lady from the Zhou family is a real scoundrel! I think she's deliberately trying to ruin Keying!" Yun Yuyan was furious when she heard Xiao Chen's story.

"Perhaps!" Xiao Chen sighed. "It's a pity that Zhou Keying can't see the shamelessness of this family. We can't do anything about it. After all, even an upright official can't settle family disputes. I just hope she can break off with that bunch of bastards from the Zhou family in the capital as soon as possible."

"But... I hope nothing will happen today. I heard that Liu Yanqiu has some connections. What if she's targeting Keying?" Yun Yuyan was a little worried.

"No, they'll never get back up! Neither the people nor the company!" Xiao Chen grinned maliciously. "Alright, you should go to sleep too. You have to go to work tomorrow. I'm going back to my room. Remember to keep an eye on Zhou Keying tonight; I bet she's still having nightmares right now."

"Okay, no problem, I will. You should go and rest. You must be tired after a long day." Yun Yuyan was the oldest of the three, and she was like an older sister to her.

Xiao Chen waved his hand and went back to his room.

……

At this moment, in the ICU ward of the First People's Hospital of the provincial capital, Huang Dabao and Liu Yanqiu stared wide-eyed at the mottled ceiling, their eyes vacant and devoid of any spirit.

Below their necks, they had completely lost all sensation, stiff as two corpses nailed to the bed. Only their eyeballs could barely move, and their lips could barely twitch. They didn't even have the strength to lift their hands to wipe away the tears from the corners of their eyes.

The door to the ward was gently pushed open, breaking the deathly silence.

Instead of a doctor in a white coat or a nurse pushing a treatment cart, two men in black hoodies came in.

Their hats were pulled down very low, covering most of their faces, leaving only their taut jawlines visible.

Huang Dabao's eyes moved with difficulty, and the moment he saw who it was, his pupils contracted sharply, and extreme fear flashed in his eyes...

He tried to scream and cry for help, but only muffled "woo-woo" sounds came from his throat; he couldn't even utter a complete "help."

Don't bother.

One of the men in black spoke first, his tone devoid of pity, only displaying an unyielding indifference.

"Mr. Xiao asked us to do something. You don't need to know who we are, just cooperate obediently, or you'll suffer."

The other man in black didn't speak. He reached into his hoodie pocket and pulled out a tablet. With a light tap, the screen lit up, displaying a draft legal document with clear clauses and cold, hard words.

"Huang Dabao and Liu Yanqiu are the legal representatives and actual controllers of Baoqiu Building Materials Group."

He spoke extremely fast, as if he were reciting a text, without pausing at all.

"Details of assets under his name: 100% equity of Baoqiu Building Materials Group, three luxury houses in the core area of ​​the provincial capital, two limited edition luxury cars, bank deposits and various wealth management products, totaling approximately 120 million yuan."

Upon hearing this, Huang Dabao and Liu Yanqiu knew what these people had come for. Xiao Chen not only wanted to cripple them, but also to take away their property and leave them no money for medical treatment.

Too bad!
They had originally planned to take revenge on Zhou Keying after they recovered, but now, there's no chance left. Forget revenge; they're probably crippled from now on, with no hope left. (End of Chapter)
