Chapter 13: Merciless Punches
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Liu San paused for a moment before continuing. “A huge fire burned everything up. The entire mortuary was reduced to ashes. It was impossible to tell who was who. The bones had all gone. After that, Liu Cheng went back on his words and said that your father bribed the coroner to give false evidence and insisted that your mother killed his r.e.t.a.r.ded wife.”
Liu San could not bear to see Liu Sanniang suffer such a blow.
This feeling was as if you were about to run out of breath but still couldn’t draw another breath in.
This was simply outrageous. Even the heavens were helping such a heartless person. When Liu San heard the news, he was furious.
Madam Bai walked up to Liu Sanniang and hugged her. Then she turned around and roared fiercely at Liu San. “Why are you saying this in front of the child? Use your stupid brain to think of a way. Our Liu family won’t suffer a humiliation like this. If word gets out, our Liu family will be embarra.s.sed.”
Liu San felt bad and said to Madam Bai, “Take good care of Sanniang. I’ll go and figure out a way.”
Initially, the matter was almost settled. All they needed to do was wait until the trial began. However, now that the mortuary had been burned and the corpse of Liu Cheng’s wife was gone, Liu Cheng insisted that the Liu family had bribed the coroner. Suddenly, the situation had reached a dead end.
Madam Bai did not know how to comfort Liu Sanniang. Looking at Liu Sanniang’s pale face, she said in a low voice, “Sanniang, don’t worry. G.o.d is watching.”
It was said that G.o.d is everywhere, but why wasn’t he doing anything?
Liu Sanniang’s mind was in a mess. She was so weak that she was about to faint. She took a moment to gain her strength and said, “Third Aunt, I want to go home. Even if I can’t do anything, at least I can make a delicious meal for my parents and brothers.”
Madam Bai opened her mouth as if she wanted to ask Liu Sanniang to stay, but in the end, she thought better of it. She only said to her, “Sanniang, if anything happens, come find us. No matter what, at the end of the day, we’re still family.”
Liu Sanniang nodded.
Liu Yinniang was a little worried, so she sent Liu Sanniang back. “Sanniang, if you need anything, just ask.”
Liu Sanniang nodded. Mr. Liu, Liu Dalang, and Liu Erlang couldn’t go back home now, because Liu Cheng had sued them all.
It was supposed to be a small case, but now it involved a lot of people.
When the families received the news that the corpses of their family members were burnt down, they went to the government office to protest.
Liu Sanniang quickly made food and packed it in a food box. Then she carried the food box and went out.
Everyone in Yong County was now discussing this matter. Liu Sanniang could hear some people talking on the street.
“This fire was too strange. I heard that it was started by someone. What a sinner!”
“Who knows? Maybe this case is connected with something much bigger.”
Liu Sanniang walked quickly towards the government office, her mind in a mess. When she reached the entrance of the office, she saw Liu Shun. Liu Shun also saw her and smiled warmly at Liu Sanniang.
“Miss Liu, are you here to see Uncle and the others?”
Liu Shun smiled warmly. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly and his scholarly aura made him look quite handsome.
However, Liu Sanniang did not care about him. In her previous life, when she found out that she was going to marry a scholar, she had fantasized about it. However, she had accidentally b.u.mped into Liu Shun torturing a stray cat and was frightened. In addition, she overheard Liu Shun giving Liu Cheng ideas to murder his wife, so Liu Sanniang was even more disgusted with him.
Liu Shun was simply a beast in human skin.
Liu Sanniang ignored Liu Shun and walked into the office. However, she did not expect Liu Shun to reach out and grab her hand.
Liu Shun said in a gentle voice, “Miss Liu, my mother has already asked a matchmaker to go to your house to talk about marriage. If you need any help, just let me know.”
However, Liu Sanniang sensed some images the moment Liu Shun grabbed her wrist.
Behind the wall, Liu Shun said coldly, “As long as you burn the mortuary…”
Liu Sanniang shook off his hand angrily and ran into the government office.
Liu Shun was too vicious. He was simply a demon!
He didn’t even deserve to be human.
In order to murder, he could do everything. There were a lot of corpses in the mortuary, and some corpses remained to be autopsied. Now with the mortuary burnt down, those families could no longer help their dead family members seek justice.
Liu Sanniang was furious, but also helpless.
Liu Shun looked at his empty palm and smiled. How soft!
As expected of someone whom he dreamed about getting day and night. He had already set the trap. He just needed Liu Sanniang to fall into his trap.
Liu Shun walked down the street in an extremely good mood. He moved towards a path. With such a happy mood, of course he had to do something to celebrate it.
Staying away from the crowd was the only way to catch the prey he wanted.
“Meow…”
A weak cat meowed. Liu Shun narrowed his eyes and followed the source of the meowing. He pushed aside the gra.s.s and saw a nest of newborn kittens. The female cat was not in the nest. The meowing from the hungry kitten attracted him.
Liu Shun reached out and was about to grab one of them when his vision suddenly darkened.
Before Liu Shun could speak, he was punched in the face. The person who hit him was very strong. When the punch landed on his chin, Liu Shun felt that his entire chin was numb.
As if having sensed a great danger, he immediately got down on his knees to beg for mercy. “Please spare me, please spare me!”
Liu Shun really could not remember whom he had offended. This person was clearly well-trained. Liu Shun did not know when this person started following him.
He thought that if he begged for mercy, this person would start talking, but instead of responding, this person gave Liu Shun another punch on the face.
From the strength of the jab, Liu Shun could tell that it was a man.
The man pulled Liu Shun’s hand and crippled it with another punch. Liu Shun fainted from the pain.
After crippling Liu Shun’s hand, the man threw him away. His gaze was extremely cold and murderous. He looked at Liu Shun’s hand and punched it twice, as if he was venting his anger.
Only then did Chu Yan stop and turned to leave.
Chu Yan closed the smithy and went home to pack his things.
Madam Li looked at her stepson and felt a little angry. “Where are you going? Why aren’t you working?”
Chu Yan turned around and glanced at Madam Li. Madam Li immediately shrunk back and did not dare to say another word.
Although she was Chu Yan’s stepmother, she was normally the one who got scared by Chu Yan.
Most of the time, Chu Yan would just ignore anything she said, but once she touched upon something she shouldn’t, he would warn her as he had just done.
Madam Li pursed her lips and did not dare to speak again. She had been Chu Yan’s stepmother for ten years. Ten years ago, she did not dare to treat him harshly, let alone now.
Ten years ago, Chu Yan was at most a wolf cub. Now, he was an adult wolf.
