Zhi Chen’s heart skipped a beat as he watched Dong Huiying, who suddenly reminded him of Dong Dabao, the vicious person who had intensively tormented them day and night in the past.
Since the mudslide on the mountain, she had changed a lot, but right now her crazed appearance seemed to revert to her old ways.
Glancing at the bloodstains on the ground, Zhi Chen’s heart sank, "Enough, Baobao!" He immediately stepped forward, grasping Dong Huiying’s arm, "If you don’t stop now, someone will really get killed!"
She had been quite kind to them recently, and in consideration of her bringing Shujun back to life with her miraculous healing hands, he didn’t want to see her imprisoned. After all, minor troubles were still manageable, but if it turned into a matter of life and death, she would be facing legal consequences.
Dong Huiying unleashed a fury of punches on Zhu Xingfang, initially feeling a sense of relief, but as she continued, she became uncontrollable like a runaway wild horse. Her mind was in chaos, driven by instinct, and she nearly turned ruthless.
If it weren’t for Zhi Chen’s timely intervention, Zhu Xingfang might have lost her life today!
When Zhi Chen obstructed her, her eyes were bloodshot, and she suddenly glared at him, swinging her little black claw toward him in greeting.
As if anticipating this, Zhi Chen quickly stepped back while raising his left arm to block.
With her incredible strength, Dong Huiying’s palm landed heavily on his arm, almost breaking it. Fortunately, she regained her senses in time and withdrew some of her force before the blow landed, otherwise Zhi Chen’s intact left hand might have been ruined by her.
Suddenly, everything became quiet.
With furrowed brows and panting, she stared in astonishment at her own blackened little claw, then at Zhu Xingfang beside her, who was obviously out of breath from the severe injuries and covered in bloodstains...
Just like the day when Liang Yixuan, having drunk her blood by mistake, lost his mind in a frenzy and even choked her neck. Now, she realized she hadn’t been able to control her temperament; the poison’s effect on her was still profound...
Suddenly wiping her face and taking a deep breath, she forcibly suppressed the surge of violent emotions in her heart. Then she squeezed out an ugly smile that resembled crying and said to Liang Zhi Chen, "I apologize, I lost control just now. How’s your arm? Are you hurt?"
"Zhi Chen is fine, but Zhu Xingfang cannot die at your hands."
Dong Huiying deeply felt this was just. She let out a deep breath... "This time, thank you!"
She thanked him for pulling her back from the brink of madness. Killing someone over a person like Zhu Xingfang would have been utterly pointless.
Zhi Chen cast her a deep glance, then quickly surveyed the room. Spotting a roll of hemp rope, he called forth his Fourth Brother Liang Haoming, instructing him to bind Zhu Xingfang and take her away.
Meanwhile, Dong Huiying’s frown showed her concern, her face filled with unease and heavy thoughts.
Hong Xiangjun watched as the group left and at that moment, Zhou Dachun quietly approached her.
"Master, why did you help that Dong Dabao?"
Hong Xiangjun glanced at Zhou Dachun, then sighed, "There are some things I haven’t yet figured out. But, Dachun, you must realize that there are always stronger people out there. And for such individuals, it’s better to be on good terms, never to make enemies!"
Hong Xiangjun seemed to recall something, her expression filled with extreme wariness...
