Chapter 189-190

Chapter 189: Psychological Damage 　 Chen Ye’s face darkened. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to stop Wang Quan, but he didn’t manage to do that in time. He was already afraid of Huo Siyu. Now, he even heard another girl say that his brother, Chen Xiaotian, owed her a favor. Was she boasting? Not necessarily. Huo Siyu’s obvious inquiry showed that Huo Siyu trusted her and believed in her. Then it was very likely that what she said was true. 　 　 He never expected that he would need to be wary of Huo Siyu, and even more so of Huo Siyu’s friend. “”Wang Quan! Stop!” However, it was useless. The 10-odd people that Wang Quan brought went forward to arrest them. The commotion was rather big, and Wang Quan could not hear Chen Ye’s reprimand at all. As for the brothers that Wang Quan had brought with him, one or two of them had heard Chen Ye and they paused for a moment. However, since they didn’t receive Wang Quan’s instructions, they only hesitated for a moment before continuing to charge forward again. Huo Sisi was naturally frightened because of Yan Jinyu’s words. She knew Yan Jinyu’s identity but she didn’t take Yan Jinyu seriously. After all, she was just a girl who grew up in the countryside. Other than her looks and ability to attract men’s attention could make her feel a little threatened, she actually didn’t think highly of Yan Jinyu herself. However, ever since she came into contact with her, she had long realized how difficult Yan Jinyu was to deal with. Not to mention anything else, just the fact that she could avoid such a dangerous moment on the ski resort. Moreover, Yan Jinyu’s fiancé was Master Nine. She didn’t think that Yan Jinyu would be stupid enough to say something so easily exposed. So, did Chen Xiaotian really owe Yan Jinyu a favor? If that was true, then, then who did she provoke? Also, what did Yan Jinyu mean by “just do it”? Why did she sense that they did not take Wang Quan and the rest seriously and were very confident that Huo Siyu would not be at a disadvantage in front of these people? Could it be Huo Siyu… Huo Sisi didn’t have a chance to continue thinking about it. Because she, who had retreated to the back, saw a shocking scene. 　 　 Huo Siyu suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the wrist of one of those people were about to catch them and twisted it! She could clearly hear the sound of bones breaking. “Argh—” It was the man’s scream. Then, he was thrown to the ground hard by Huo Siyu. Then, Huo Siyu flew up and instantly disarmed four more people. It was not the kind of disarming where they could still stand up after being kicked down. It was the kind that after they fell to the ground, they could not stand up for a long time. The men under Wang Quan had some skills too, but why were they so weak in front of Huo Siyu? No! It was not that they were weak, but it was because Huo Siyu was too strong! Then, Huo Siyu disarmed the remaining people without any effort. That was not all. Without seeing her move, she quickly arrived in front of the stunned Wang Quan and pressed something against his neck. Taking a closer look, it was actually a lancet. When did Huo Siyu have a lancet? Did she carry it with her? The lancet was very sharp. There was a bloody wound on his neck even when she didn’t use much force when it touched Wang Quan’s neck. 　 　 Huo Sisi was so frightened that she took a few steps back and almost fell. “S-second Miss Huo…” Wang Quan was so frightened that he couldn’t speak properly. Huo Siyu sneered, “Why are you trembling? Weren’t you very arrogant just now? Boy, do Beauty Yu and I look so easy to bully? Do you still want to take us away?” “Tsk, you’re overestimating yourself.” “I thought I wouldn’t have the chance to exercise today. After all, Mr. Chen is very tactful. He didn’t have any designs on Beauty Yu and me, but you insisted on coming to us.” “You probably don’t know, but I haven’t exercised for too long and my hands are itchy.” She glanced at the people on the ground and said, “Did you see that? You brothers probably have to stay in the hospital for a long time before they can recover. That one was the first to make a move. My technique is very precise. His hand will never recover.” Wang Quan looked frightened while Huo Siyu continued to smile. “Oh, I even held back. No matter what, it’s still broad daylight. It’s not good to kill someone.” “However, if someone really dies, it’s not like I can’t resolve it. This is South City. As long as I give my brother a call, he will be able to settle the matter quietly. Do you believe me?” “Therefore, it doesn’t really affect me whether I take your life or not.” “I’m very fast with my lancet. Do you want to try it?” As she spoke, she pushed the lancet forward. 　 　 Wang Quan was so frightened that he closed his eyes and shouted, “S-second Miss Huo, please spare me! Y-yes, I have entertained angels unawares! I have entertained angels unawares!” “…Please show mercy, Second Miss Huo!” Chen Ye recovered from his shock. Fortunately, he reacted in time. Otherwise… Indeed, as soon as he shouted, Huo Siyu’s hand that was holding the lancet paused and she looked up at him lazily. However, she had no intention of retracting her lancet. “Wang Quan is used to being tyrannical and offended Second Miss Huo. I’ll represent him to apologize to Second Miss Huo and…” He looked at Yan Jinyu, but he saw the smile in Yan Jinyu’s eyes. His limbs turned cold. “…and this lady.” Under such circumstances, her smile did not change at all. It was as if everything was within her expectations. How could he not be shocked? Huo Siyu was so skilled, but she still listened to her. What about her then? Chen Ye did not dare to think further. He was extremely glad that he trusted his intuition and had not provoked them. Wasn’t he just as tyrannical as Wang Quan? His big brother always told him to restrain himself. Otherwise, he might offend someone he shouldn’t have at one point. They were already in the midst of changing careers. If they offended someone, they would probably be in big trouble. If he offended someone that even his big brother did not dare to offend, he would be finished. He knew that his brother’s words usually made sense, but he just didn’t want to hear them. It was only at this moment that he realized what kind of person he should not offend. If he was not careful, he would lose his life. It was obvious that Huo Siyu really dared to kill. “Second Miss Huo, please spare Wang Quan’s life. I’ll bring him back and let my brother teach him a lesson. Then, I’ll give you a satisfactory explanation.” “Beauty Yu.” Huo Siyu didn’t let him go. Instead, she asked Yan Jinyu. “One hand,” Yan Jinyu said to Chen Ye. Chen Ye understood that she wanted Wang Quan’s hand. No matter what, Wang Quan was his brother. He was about to plead for mercy, but the other party didn’t give him a chance to speak. The girl smiled faintly and said unhurriedly, “One life or one hand, choose for yourselves.” He wanted to bring beautiful girls back whenever he saw them. Who encouraged this evil practice? She wasn’t a kind person, but she couldn’t bear to see such a thing happen either. 　 　 Of course, if they hadn’t targeted them, she wouldn’t have bothered. However, since they had tactlessly targeted them, she wasn’t a good person who repay evil with kindness. She couldn’t even be bothered to take his life because she was lazy. “Little Rain, three seconds. If the other party doesn’t give us their choice, attack. I’ll clean up the aftermath.” Huo Siyu raised her eyebrows. “Three, two…” “Alright!” Chen Ye gritted his teeth. “I agree to your request! After I go back and meet my brother, I’ll definitely give your a satisfactory explanation!” “Thank you for showing mercy. We owe Miss Huo and this lady a favor this time.” “There’s no need to owe me a favor.” Yan Jinyu looked up at him. “Chen Xiaotian still owes me a favor.” A favor… Now, Chen Ye believed that his brother might have really owed her a favor. “How should I address you, Miss?” “With your status in South City, it’s easy for you to find out who I am. Why bother asking? Even if I say my name, your brother might not know. You just have to tell him that two years ago, oh, it should be three years ago, Christmas Eve in Country M.” “That’s all you have to tell him and he’ll know who I am.” Chen Ye, who heard her words, was not calm anymore. Christmas Eve three years ago… He seemed to know what favor his brother had owed her. Suppressing the shock in his heart, he said, “Alright, I’ll definitely tell my brother in detail.” “However, we don’t want the favor. You can compensate us for the psychological damage. Little Rain and I came out to play happily, but we were suddenly stopped by someone. We were so frightened that our good mood was gone. It’s not too much for you to compensate us for the psychological damage, right?” Chen Ye’s current mood was a little indescribable. Who exactly was frightened? Even Huo Siyu’s face twitched. Beauty Yu had said that they had already retired and would no longer take on missions. It would not be so easy to earn money in the future. Then, she wouldn’t touch the money that she had saved previously if she could, lest she didn’t have the money to retire. She thought that Beauty Yu was just joking. After all, the assets in their hands couldn’t be spent in a few lifetimes, let alone supporting their retirement. Now, she realized that what Beauty Yu said back then did not seem to be a joke. She really wouldn’t touch it if she could! Beauty Yu had previously cheated the Qiu Family of the capital out of a sum of money. With Beauty Yu’s current spending speed, that money was enough for her to spend for a long time. Now, she was asking for compensation for psychological damage. Uh, it could only be said that Beauty Yu was very good at making a living. Hence, it was useless for them to keep an eye on Beauty Yu’s private account so that she couldn’t buy more yogurt. Beauty Yu had too many ways to earn money. Even if Beauty Yu didn’t do anything. “I-I wonder how much you need us to compensate… for the psychological damage?” Only Chen Ye knew how complicated he was feeling now. “Think about the amount yourself. Just pay for what you think these lives are worth. Transfer the money onto Little Rain’s account” “…Alright.” “Little Rain, let’s go.” After saying that, Yan Jinyu glanced inconspicuously at a certain direction not far away. *** Chapter 190: The Devil Who Protects His Sister It was just a faint glance, as if it was unintentional. And then she retracted her gaze. The two people standing at the corner saw her looking in their direction and quickly retreated. They heaved a sigh of relief when they saw that she was only looking over unintentionally and did not seem to notice them. These two people were Yuan Xi and Yuan Yuan, the siblings who had left first. After their car drove for a while, Yuan Xi suddenly asked Yuan Yuan to stop by the side and he got out of the car. 　 　 Not knowing what he was going to do, Yuan Yuan quickly got out of the car and followed. Seeing that Yuan Xi was standing at a corner of the wall, she walked over and stood beside him. Just as she was about to ask, she saw Yan Jinyu and the rest surrounded. Yuan Yuan was so frightened that she almost exclaimed. It was only after Yuan Xi said “don’t make a sound” that she covered her lips and kept quiet. They had all seen what happened next. Yuan Xi’s eyes were filled with shock, not to mention Yuan Yuan. He was shocked by Huo Siyu’s skills and even more shocked that Yan Jinyu had the courage to remain calm in such a situation and that she had actually interacted with Chen Xiaotian before. Yuan Xi retracted his thoughts and said, “Let’s go back.” “…Alright.” There was shock and curiosity, but Yuan Yuan wasn’t a nosy person, so she didn’t intend to probe further. After taking two steps, she stopped and looked at Yuan Xi, “Xi’er, let’s not interact with these people in the future.” Yuan Xi’s eyes flickered. “Alright.” *** On the other hand, after hearing Yan Jinyu’s words, Huo Siyu slowly retracted her hand. With a turn of her palm, the lancet in her hand disappeared. No one knew where she had hidden it. This scene made Wang Quan even more afraid to speak up. 　 　 Even when he knew that his hand was going to be crippled. However, compared to having his hands crippled, he didn’t want to die. “Be careful in the future. Don’t have any designs on beautiful girls anymore. You might meet someone like us who has trained for a few years, understand?” Wang Quan covered the wound on his neck and nodded repeatedly with lingering fear, “Yes, yes, yes, yes.” Huo Siyu turned to look at the Xiang siblings, who were still in shock, before turning to Huo Sisi. She smiled faintly, “Huo Sisi, looking at you. Are you frightened?” “What’s there to be afraid of? Didn’t I say that I trained for a few years in Country F in the ski park previously? On the slide, I was fine even when I fell at such a fast speed. It’s obvious that I’m quite skilled.” “Don’t overreact.” “However, Beauty Yu is right. We were indeed a little frightened after being stopped by people. Even if we weren’t frightened, our mood was also affected. So, I’m afraid we can’t go to the hospital with you. You can take Young Master Xiang’s car.” The more Huo Siyu spoke, the more Huo Sisi’s expression twisted. The crux was that as soon as Huo Siyu finished speaking, Xiang Jie said angrily, “Who wants her to ride in our family’s car!” “Huo Sisi, you left me in the lurch. I won’t let this matter rest! Hmph, why go to the hospital? We’re not familiar with Cao Ming. I’m not going!” 　 　 Xiang Jie looked at Xiang Qing, whose face was a little swollen, but was so shocked by everything that he forgot about the pain. “Brother, let’s go home!” She then turned to Huo Siyu. “Second Miss Huo, thank you for today. I’ll remember your favor.” She dragged Xiang Qing away. “What are you going to do now that they’re gone, Huo Sisi? Are you going back to the Huo Family with us?” Before Huo Sisi could reply, Huo Siyu said, “Cao Ming is your friend. The Huo Family and the hospital are in the opposite direction. If you go back to the Huo Family first, you’ll have to make a big detour. Or are you not going to visit your friend today? If you don’t go, you were the one who asked him out. I wonder if the Cao Family will go straight to the Huo Family to ask you for an explanation.” “If the Cao Family really go look for the Huo Family, Mom and Dad will probably be unhappy. Mom and Dad seem to have taken my joke yesterday seriously. Now, Mom and Dad should already have some opinions about you.” “In that case, I think you should make a trip to the hospital first. Then, take a taxi yourself. Beauty Yu and I will go back first.” “Beauty Yu, let’s go.” Yan Jinyu smiled and nodded. She didn’t look at Huo Sisi, whose face was twisted. The two of them headed straight for the parking lot. Looking at their backs as they left, Chen Ye called for people to bring those injured people away. Looking at Wang Quan, who still looked like he was in a daze, he sighed softly, “Let’s go, Wang Quan.” 　 　 Normally, Wang Quan wouldn’t have left Huo Sisi alone after pursuing her for so many years. But now, how could he be in the mood to care about Huo Sisi? He followed Chen Ye and went away. However, Chen Ye looked at Huo Sisi sympathetically before he left. He didn’t know what this Eldest Miss Huo was thinking that she actually dared to offend Second Miss Huo. Just based on Huo Siyu’s words earlier, he also had some ideas after he calmed down and thought about it. It didn’t seem to be a coincidence that he suddenly received news that Xiang Jie was here. Someone had deliberately done so. Huo Sisi actually dared to use him! He had more important things to do today, so he would let Huo Sisi off for the time being. After he was done, he would slowly settle this score with her! *** On the other side, Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu sat in the Huo Family’s car. “Huo Sisi went to the hospital to visit her friend. She’s not coming with us.” This sentence stopped the driver from asking. The driver naturally favored Huo Sisi since he drove Huo Sisi to school. However, since Huo Siyu had already said so, he did not dare to say anything. “Alright, Second Missy.” “I wonder where Second Missy and Eldest Miss Yan are going next?” Return to the Huo Family? Impossible. Huo Siyu had invited Yan Jinyu over to bring her around South City. The excuse of returning to the Huo Family earlier was just nonsense. After giving the driver the location, he sent them over. It was already dark when the two of them returned to the Huo Family. Huo Sisi, who took a taxi to the hospital, arrived home earlier than them. As soon as the two of them stepped into the main building of the Huo Family, they saw a group of people sitting in the living room. Other than Huo Lin, Sun Xiangxiang, and Huo Sisi, Huo Xuan was also present. Of course, it wasn’t just them. There were two other people. Chen Ye and a man in his late thirties. He had a fierce look and was obviously not a kind person. However, when he saw Yan Jinyu walking in, he immediately stood up in surprise. He even put on a kind smile on his fierce face. “Eldest Miss Yan.” 　 　 Then, as if he felt that it wasn’t appropriate to only greet Yan Jinyu in the Huo Family’s territory, he turned his gaze to Huo Siyu. “Miss Huo.” It wasn’t “Second Miss Huo”, but “Miss Huo”. It seemed like he was also a tactful person who could tell that in Huo Xuan’s heart, Huo Siyu was the legitimate eldest daughter of the Huo Family. “My brothers were insensible and offended you today. I specially came to apologize to the two of you.” This man was Chen Ye’s elder brother, Chen Xiaotian. However, although Chen Xiaotian was greeting Huo Siyu, his gaze was always on Yan Jinyu. Actually, the two of them had just arrived at the Huo Family. The Huo Family only knew that they were here to apologize, but they didn’t know who they were apologizing to. They only thought that they had an unhappy incident with Huo Xuan and specially came to apologize. They didn’t expect that after seeing Huo Xuan, they only said polite words like “Sorry for disturbing you” and nothing else. At that moment, Yan Jinyu and Huo Siyu returned. “What do you mean by that, Boss Chen?” Huo Xuan asked with a pale face. His gaze was sharp and his tone was unkind. Huo Lin and Sun Xiangxiang’s expressions were a little ugly. “I’m sorry. This is the fault of my brothers, but…” Halfway through his sentence, Chen Xiaotian suddenly paused and looked at Huo Sisi, who was sitting at the side. “Miss Huo was also present at that time. Didn’t she mention this to you guys when she came back?” This question was intentional. Obviously, Chen Xiaotian had already found out about Huo Sisi’s scheme from Chen Ye. “Sisi, why didn’t you say that something happened after you were back?” One could tell from her tone that Sun Xiangxiang was very unhappy. Huo Sisi had spent a lot of time dealing with the Cao Family in the hospital. If not for her status as the eldest daughter of the Huo Family, Cao Ming’s mother would have slapped her on the spot. However, even though she didn’t slap Huo Sisi, her son suddenly crippled his legs. The doctor even said that it might be very difficult for him to stand up ever again. The Cao Family’s attitude towards Huo Sisi was very bad, especially Cao Ming’s mother. She would scold all the unpleasant words. In the end, the Cao Family only let Huo Sisi go after Cao Ming pleaded for her. Cao Ming spoke up for her and then told her to go home and rest early. He told her to remember to send him some bone soup early tomorrow and Huo Sisi naturally couldn’t reject him. Just as she returned to the Huo Family angrily, Huo Siyu and Yan Jinyu didn’t come back. After being questioned by Sun Xiangxiang, she roughly told them about the accident at the ski resort. She said that she went to the hospital to visit her friend and wasn’t with them. Sun Xiangxiang kept calling Huo Siyu and only stopped after she found out where Huo Siyu was. However, she was still reprimanded by Sun Xiangxiang. She was saying that since she had brought Huo Siyu and Yan Jinyu out to play, she shouldn’t have called those indecent people. Huo Lin also lectured her. Huo Sisi was even angrier. Then, she saw Huo Xuan return. Huo Sisi’s emotions were even more complicated when Huo Xuan, who was so busy that his feet barely touched the ground, returned to the Huo Family. She was happy and angry at the same time. She was happy that Huo Xuan was back and she could see him. She was angry that he obviously didn’t come back because of her, but because of that extra guest at home! Under such circumstances, how could she be in the mood to say anything? Furthermore, she was the one who had done that today. She wasn’t stupid. Why would she take the initiative to mention it? Who knew that Chen Xiaotian and Chen Ye would actually visit them personally! “S-sorry. Too many things happened today. My friend might not be able to stand up for the rest of his life. I was a little frustrated and forgot about it.” “I wanted to say it, but Brother Chen and Boss Chen came. I-I didn’t have the chance to speak again.” Huo Xuan threw a glance at Huo Sisi and his sharp and cold gaze frightened her. Just as Huo Sisi was about to collapse and couldn’t sit still, Huo Xuan retracted his gaze. However, even so, Huo Sisi would probably be so frightened that she couldn’t stand straight if she wasn’t sitting on the sofa. “Come and sit first.” Huo Xuan looked at the two people who had entered the house. Then, he looked at Chen Xiaotian. “Tell me, what exactly is going on? How dare anyone touch my sister in South City. This matter isn’t so easily resolved.”
