Having pacified Qi Xingzhou, Jiang Ning turned back to look at Huo Miao.
Huo Miao had just been forcefully thrown by Jiang Ning, crashing to the ground with the fruit knife in her hand falling out and then kicked away by Nong Chun.
Without the fruit knife in her hand, Huo Miao shivered uncontrollably, reverting to her previous pitiful demeanor.
However, her fear from earlier was feigned, while the fear on her face now was real.
[Speechless, who is she trying to fool now with this cowering act?]
[So malicious, whether it be Yuan Wei or Ling Bo, Huo Miao, they all chose to sneak attack, and the victim was always Jiang Ning, as if they had agreed on it beforehand!]
[It’s terrifying, but thankfully Jiang Ning reacted quickly and wasn’t harmed by these villains, or else she would have been taken down.]
[Don’t forget, aside from Huo Ziheng who has already been eliminated, these people did not realize the reality of the show. In other words, they harbored a murderous intent towards Jiang Ning! Whether it be the stool thrown at her or the fruit knife aimed at her, had they succeeded, either would have been enough to take Jiang Ning’s life!]
[Disgusting! I spit in disdain!]
Jiang Ning patted Qi Xingzhou’s hand, signaling him to let go.
Qi Xingzhou lowered his head and rubbed it against her ear, showing affection and coquettishness like a small animal, before finally letting go of Jiang Ning reluctantly.
Having stepped out of Qi Xingzhou’s embrace, Jiang Ning looked at Huo Miao with cold eyes. She quickly stepped forward and fiercely kicked Huo Miao, who was trying to crawl away. Her boot hit Huo Miao’s lower back precisely, eliciting a sharp cry from Huo Miao as she painfully collapsed on the ground.
Immediately after, Huo Miao felt a tug at her hair; Jiang Ning had grabbed it.
With a forceful yank, Jiang Ning made Huo Miao lift her head.
Pain seared through her scalp, as if Jiang Ning was about to tear it off entirely. Huo Miao screamed miserably and looked up with tearful eyes.
Facing Jiang Ning’s cold gaze, Huo Miao opened her mouth to beg for mercy, but before she could speak, Jiang Ning’s raised hand had already struck her face. With an expression as still as water and eyes sharp as knives, Jiang Ning slapped Huo Miao hard twice, leaving bright red handprints on her previously fair cheeks.
Then, Jiang Ning dragged her up from the ground and continued to hit her, pulling her hair straight.
Unlike the minor scuffle at the villa previously, this time Jiang Ning showed no mercy and was determined to scare them off.
She was no saint, having been annoyed time and again by Huo Miao and Mu Mingxuan flaunting in front of her.
Jiang Ning, hitting like she was punching a sandbag, stopped only when Huo Miao could no longer stand.
With the release of her grip, Huo Miao, who had been standing, immediately slumped at Jiang Ning’s feet like a worm, bruised and swollen, with clumps of her hair pulled out, appearing extremely wretched.
Mu Mingxuan, who had dared not approach earlier, now saw Jiang Ning pull back her hand and bravely burst out, propping up Huo Miao with the one hand he could still move. He looked up angrily, "Jiang Ning! If you have caused Miaomiao serious harm, the Huo Family won’t let you off!"
[What happened to Mu Mingxuan’s hand? Is it broken?]
[It looks like it’s dislocated]
[Hahaha, so that renders him useless, huh?]
[Just need someone to pop it back in]
Jiang Ning, unafraid, retorted, "Do you think I am scared?"
She glanced at the fruit knife Nong Chun had kicked to the side, "I was merely defending myself. Besides, you all tried to sneak up on me and none of you succeeded. Is that really the best you can do?"
Mu Mingxuan’s face darkened, feeling deeply humiliated by Jiang Ning’s words.
He especially wanted to rise and give Jiang Ning a severe beating, but the reality was that his right hand had been dislocated by Jiang Ning’s bare hands, and now he couldn’t muster any strength at all, practically disabled.
He struggled to contain his inner rage, but after holding back for a while, he ultimately failed to restrain himself. Mu Mingxuan stood up, fuming, "Jiang Ning, we didn’t hurt you at all, yet you broke my hand! And you’ve injured Miaomiao and the rest! Everyone present here is a witness, just wait for the court summons once we get out!"
[Ah, the nerve, when they were moving things earlier, they didn’t think they were stealing? They even said the situation had changed, and there was no need to follow the law, that might makes right was the true principle. Now that they can’t beat Jiang Ning, they actually remember to use legal weapons to protect themselves?]
