Chapter 229: Chapter 230: As If Plunged Into an Ice Cave
"Cousin, what are you afraid of? Thereâs no one else here, and those outside are your lackeys. What could possibly happen?" Ni Jia spoke with impunity.
Upon hearing this, Ni Heng agreed. At worst, he could delete any surveillance footage later that shouldnât have been left behind.
"You filthy scoundrels conspire to harm others and dare to throw mud at me. Arenât you afraid of retribution?" Nianyang snapped back.
Ni Jiaâs face stiffened, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "Shut up! The only reason Iâm doing this is because you, this slut, seduced my man. I gave you a chance to leave Tingyan, but you wouldnât listen!"
"Ayan is clearly my partner, when did he become your man? Ni Jia, if Ayan hears you say this, heâll be disgusted." Nianyang said with disdain.
"Shut your mouth, you slut!"
Ni Jia was stung by the sneer at the corner of Nianyangâs mouth and, in a fit of rage, viciously grabbed Nianyang by the hair, her face twisted with fury,
"If it werenât for you, Tingyan would have become my man. Itâs all because of you, this vixen. Youâre now already a captive; youâre not worthy of Tingyan. Only I am worthy of him!"
If not for entering the Weakness Period, Nianyang would have loved to ground Ni Jia into the earth, letting her taste her bull-like strength. But unfortunately, she was too weak now to resist, gasping in pain but unwilling to make a sound.
Even in the Weakness Period, her inherent resilience was stronger than most, and she wouldnât show a hint of weakness in front of Ni Jia.
Not getting the satisfaction of seeing Nianyang struggle in agony, Ni Jia was enraged and yanked Nianyangâs hair, smashing her head against the wall,
"Gu Nianyang, who do you think you are? Do you think Tingyan will come to rescue you? Stop dreaming. Heâs busy right now and has no time for you, so I warn you to be sensible and just confess, or Iâll kill you!"
"Youâre the one who should confess. Why should I clean up your mess?"
"Youâre asking for death. Whether you confess or not, you will confess!"
Nianyangâs body went limp, her head was knocked against the wall several times, and blood flowed down, but she didnât make a sound, thinking, once I recover, Iâll make you pay back a hundredfold.
It was Ni Heng who, upon seeing Nianyang injured, hurriedly stopped,
"Ni Jia, thatâs enough. Itâs now forbidden to use violence. How will I explain this!"
As he spoke, the pager in his pocket suddenly went off. His expression changed immediately upon answering, nervously listening to the instructions from the other end. He shouted at Ni Jia,
"Thatâs enough, Ni Jia. The person in charge just called me and said Gu Nianyang is not to be touched. Didnât you say sheâs a country bumpkin? How could she alarm my superior?"
Ni Jia thought, could it be that Li Tingyan has arrived? Outwardly, she feigned confusion,
"I donât know either, maybe itâs the He Familyâs people who informed your boss?"
"Ni Jia, oh Ni Jia, your cousin is truly in deep trouble today because of you!"
Ni Heng slapped his thigh, his face dark and venomous, "No, when the person in charge arrives, seeing this situation, Iâm done for. I must make this brat confess, only then can I have an explanation to get out of this. It seems I have to resort to extreme measures."
Saying this, he took out a stick, arrogantly waving it in front of Nianyang!
"Brat, you better confess quickly, or donât blame me for being rude..."
Bamâ
The iron door behind was suddenly kicked open with force!
A man in black whirlwinded his way in, urgency clear on his face. As his eyes landed on Nianyang, curled up on the ground with blood still seeping from her forehead, he emanated an aura of terrifying intensity.
Ni Heng, oblivious to the impending doom, demanded, "Who are you, entering here as if itâs your home? Believe it or not, Iâll have you arrested!"
"Ting, Tingyan..." Ni Jia instinctively released her grip on Nianyangâs hair, feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
