As the group of people appeared, a cruel smile appeared on the faces of Jin Er and the others.
"What do you want to do?" Seeing this scene, Liu Xue frowned and asked.
"Do what?" Liu Shinian sneered, "Originally, we planned to negotiate with you, little girl, but you were ungrateful; you can’t blame us now. Take her away."
Following Liu Shinian’s words, the group quickly restrained Liu Xue.
"How dare you! Let me go now, do you know what you’re doing is a crime?" Liu Xue panicked.
She never expected that her own parents would go as far as to harm their daughter to achieve their goals.
"Knock her out fast, so no one notices." Seeing Liu Xue speaking loudly, Jin Er quickly signaled.
At his command, the leading man knocked Liu Xue unconscious and took her away.
After settling the bill, Jin Er and the others also hurriedly left...
When Liu Xue awoke, she found herself in a small dark room, tightly bound and unable to move.
In front of her were her original family, Jin Er and others.
Liu Xue could never have imagined that one day she would suffer harm from her family. If she had known this would be the outcome, she would never have agreed to the feast, but now it was too late to regret.
"What exactly do you want?" Seeing Jin Er and the others in front of her, Liu Xue felt only disgust and had no feelings for them anymore.
Previously, she had a trace of reluctance, but now that trace of softness had vanished completely.
In the future, even if Jin Er and the others knelt in front of Liu Xue to beg her, Liu Xue would not even frown, let alone be soft-hearted again.
"Do what?" With Liu Xue’s words, Jin Er showed a cruel smile: "You’ll know soon enough."
Just then, Liu Ji approached Liu Xue, arrogantly saying, "Hurry up, hand over all the top-grade jadeite from your company; otherwise, don’t blame us for being ruthless."
"Exactly, what’s the point of you earning so much money? It’s better if we get it; no point letting outsiders benefit from it." Liu Qi chimed in.
"Want the jadeite? You’re dreaming. I would rather die than give it to you!" Liu Xue coldly replied, looking very disdainful.
"Then you can’t blame us." Liu Ji threatened viciously and walked towards Liu Xue.
Approaching Liu Xue, Liu Ji stomped hard on Liu Xue’s foot.
"Hiss~" Feeling the pain in her foot, Liu Xue drew in a sharp breath.
She never thought her own brother could be so ruthless to her, to do such harm; is this still the brother she knew? Why did he become in such a short time?
"You made me a laughingstock in front of so many people; this is your retribution."
"Go ahead, keep being arrogant, keep being defiant, don’t recognize us? Look at how capable you are."
While stepping on Liu Xue’s foot, Liu Ji was venting his anger ferociously.
Clearly, it was because Liu Xue embarrassed him in front of so many people before, so he was angry and desperate for revenge.
"Making me beg you in front of so many people, you’re really something, girl, see how I handle you." At the same time, Jin Er also came over and slapped Liu Xue with all her strength.
This slap was immensely satisfying for Jin Er and was sure to make Liu Xue suffer.
But, unexpectedly, as soon as Jin Er’s hand touched Liu Xue, a mysterious force from Liu Xue’s pendant burst out, sending Jin Er flying.
It turned out that at this crucial moment, the magical artifact given to Liu Xue by Ye Feng came into play; the artifact detected danger to Liu Xue, thus activating the defense array.
"What’s going on?" Seeing this, Liu Shinian’s face went black, bewildered.
"This...." Not only Liu Shinian, but even Liu Ji and Liu Qi were dumbfounded.
’Is it the magical artifact Ye Feng gave me? Can it really defend?’ Liu Xue first thought of the magical artifact Ye Feng gave her, feeling utterly shocked inside.
Originally, she thought Ye Feng was fooling her, but she didn’t expect the artifact to have such a terrifying effect.
Moreover, the magical artifact Ye Feng gave her was much more sophisticated than others’.
Against ordinary non-lethal attacks, the artifact could ignore them directly.
Once it encountered a lethal attack, the artifact would activate the guardian array to protect Liu Xue.
If not even the guardian array could resolve an attack, the artifact would then use a consumable defense array, consuming its usage times to withstand the damage.
"Ah! What’s happening? I’ll kill her." Jin Er, dizzy and muddled from the fall, stood up, furiously approaching Liu Xue, seemingly wanting to swallow her alive.
"Ah!" But before she touched Liu Xue, she let out a wretched scream, being knocked back again. This time, she fell even worse.
Seeing this, Liu Shinian and the others showed fear in their expressions as they looked at Liu Xue.
Originally, they thought restraining Liu Xue would allow them to teach her a hard lesson.
But they never imagined that even after binding Liu Xue, they couldn’t do anything to her, as though Liu Xue had some kind of magic; approaching her would lead to an attack.
"You go try it!" Liu Shinian then gestured to a nearby strong man.
One of the men nodded, picked up a stick, and cautiously approached Liu Xue.
After nearing Liu Xue, the man used the stick to aggressively hit Liu Xue.
At this moment, something strange happened.
The stick hadn’t even touched Liu Xue when it seemed to hit something and directly bounced back, striking the man on the head.
"Ah!" With a cry of pain, the man, unable to hit Liu Xue, ended up striking himself.
"Haha!" Seeing this, Liu Xue was delighted, mockingly saying, "So fierce, you even hit yourself, impressive! Impressive!"
"Ghosts! There must be ghosts; I’m out of this deal."
"Is this a human task? I’ll never dare again, spare me!"
Meanwhile, another strong man, like seeing a ghost, turned around and fled.
Though they could make a lot of money here, they needed to stay alive to spend it.
"Come back! Come back, you bastards! Do you still want the money?" Seeing them turn and flee, Liu Shinian yelled desperately.
But no matter how he shouted, they wouldn’t return and ran even faster.
Seeing this outcome, Liu Xue felt deeply satisfied...
Meanwhile, Ye Feng looked extremely upset, angrily smashing the table in front of him.
Because just now, Xu Kun had called him, saying Liu Xue had been kidnapped.
"No matter who you are, dare to touch my woman, I will make you regret it for a lifetime...."
