Chapter 611: Chapter 606: Nangong Beiying Gets Injured
Nangong Beiying ran quickly, the pursuers behind her getting closer and closer. However, the four bodyguards she brought with her were sent on other tasks, and they were nowhere near her. What could she do? Was she really going to die today?
Nangong Beiying dashed into an alleyway and glanced at the walls on both sides. She leaped up, grabbing onto the wall and flipped over it.
“Eh, where is she? We clearly saw her come in here, so why can’t we find her?” Nangong Beiying listened to the voices coming from outside.
“Everyone, split up and search. We can’t let her go, or you all know what the consequences will be.” As the command was given, the footsteps slowly faded away.
Only then did Nangong Beiying breathe a sigh of relief. Gritting her teeth, she rolled up her sleeve. Damn, it was so painful, the injury was bigger than she thought.
If she hadn’t been carrying coagulant medicine, she would have probably gone into shock from excessive blood loss by now.
Nangong Beiying thought of the faintly heard mention of “Second Old Master.” Had they been driven to a corner? Well, since they refused to toast, she wouldn’t mind serving a bitter cup. She would not be lenient anymore.
She would pay them back double for what they had done to her, making sure they knew Mr. Ma was not to be reckoned with.
Nangong Beiying tore off a piece of cloth, wound it around her arm a couple of times and tied it as a makeshift bandage.
It was only after a while that Nangong Beiying slowly stood up. By the moonlight, she looked around and realized she was in an uninhabited courtyard. The owner seemed to have gone on a long journey, as the courtyard was overgrown with weeds.
Nangong Beiying leaped back onto the wall and jumped down. Since this was an uninhabited place, sooner or later, those people would return once they found out, and by that time, she wouldn’t be able to leave. So there was no better time than now to escape.
Dodging left and right, Nangong Beiying finally arrived home.
“Miss, are you alright?” The team of four had just returned to find Nangong Beiying missing, and they were about to go out and search for her when they saw her return, looking disheveled and injured. The team of four were horrified.
If anything happened to their young mistress, even death could not repay their negligence. Her current injury was already a dereliction of duty for them.
“Miss, do you know who did this?” Feng’s icy voice asked, glaring at the four of them. He was furious. Whoever dared to hurt his young mistress would surely regret it.
“It should have been the second house that had someone do it. I guess the events of the day drove them to desperation,” Nangong Beiying replied calmly, taking a sip of water.
“The Second Old Master? Seems like you were too lenient today,” Cloud said coldly, looking at Feng.
“It was my fault,” Feng pursed his lips and uttered this sentence.
“Cloud, don’t blame Feng. He did it according to my wishes. It’s not entirely his fault but mine. I thought that they were family, so I didn’t want to go too far. But it turns out they never saw me as family.
Feng, from now on, cut off all resources and supplies to the Second Old Master’s side. Then issue a statement saying that the Nangong second house has nothing to do with our Nangong family from now on, and their actions will only represent themselves, never being attributed to the Nangong family.” Nangong Beiying could be quite ruthless when provoked.
If they didn’t mess with her, everything was negotiable. But if they did, they had better be prepared for her retaliation. She, Chu Beiying, was not the weak Nangong Beiying who thought families should live in harmony.
Reality had taught her not to be soft-hearted. In this world, the weak were bullied, and the strong ruled. Although there were laws, they were far from comprehensive. For powerful families like theirs, the law did not have much effect because the saying went, “Money can make ghosts work for you.” As long as they were willing to pay the price, many things could be settled.
