Chapter 50 - 50: He Could Not Stop
Shen Qingyue was prepared to defend herself, but in the next second, a pair of big hands grabbed Bai Juhua and forcefully flung her away.
Chen Ming’s strength was not insignificant. He threw Bai Juhua to the ground, and she did not get up for a while. Then he turned around and checked Shen Qingyue up and down, asking, “Are you okay?”
He had been following Shen Qingyue all this while, and who would have expected such an incident to happen in the time it took to park the car?
Shen Qingyue was about to say she was fine when Chen Ming grabbed her hand and looked concerned. “Your hand is injured.”
She looked down and saw a small cut, probably caused by Bai Juhua’s nails. Given some time, it would probably be hardly noticeable. But Chen Ming seemed as if she had a terminal illness. Helplessly, she said, “I’m fine.”
Various emotions flickered in Chen Ming’s eyes, and his lips tightened into a straight line without saying a word.
At this moment, Bai Juhua stood up and said, “Do you believe that I can ruin both of you? How dare you hit me! Are you the bodyguard who bullied my brother David? I’ll make you pay!”
Chen Ming turned around, his gaze sinister. “Give it a try.”
Bai Juhua was frightened. “What… What can you do?! You were the ones who bullied us first. Do you believe I’ll call the police?”
Chen Ming approached her, his voice lowered. “We bullied you first? Your little brother David harasses my precious one every day. The fact that I haven’t gouged out his eyes and cut off his limbs is already my mercy. And yet you dare to show up? Wasn’t the previous lesson enough?”
“You’re talking nonsense!” Bai Juhua was intimidated by Chen Ming’s aura and gritted her teeth in resistance.
“Is it not true? Can’t you investigate for yourself?” Chen Ming stood tall. “Don’t follow us anymore. When I get angry, I can’t control myself.” After speaking, he turned and led Shen Qingyue away.
After they left, Shen Qingyue broke free from his grasp and looked at him scrutinizingly. “What did you say to her just now? And what bodyguard? What have you done, Chen Ming? I can’t seem to understand you more and more.
You’ve become so strange after going out for a while.”
Chen Ming looked aggrieved. “Do you think I’m lying to you? What else can I do? Am I the kind of person who bullies others? As for going out, I was simply traveling. If you don’t believe me, I can show you my passport. There are records of my trips at the customs!”
He had indeed traveled to many countries, but it was to seek treatment and suppress the violence within himself. He dared not come back, nor could he stop. He could not face Shen Qingyue choosing someone else. He had already thought of a hundred ways to make Qin Zhen disappear without a trace, but he did not want Shen Qingyue to be sad. So he could only leave and keep on going…
“Don’t change the subject! Tell me, did you or did you not hit that guy?” Shen Qingyue looked at him.
Chen Ming held her hand cautiously. “I did… But he was the one who slandered you first…”
Shen Qingyue stared at him for a long time and suddenly asked, “Did you win or lose?”
“Of course, I won!” Chen Ming nodded proudly. How could he lose in a fight?
“Then let’s go.” Shen Qingyue walked toward the company.
“Aren’t you angry?” Chen Ming was surprised, thinking she would scold him.
“Hmph, there won’t be a next time! What’s the point of arguing with someone like her? She’s just crazy, like a band-aid on a dog. Next time, we’ll just call the police.” Shen Qingyue snorted coldly.
Chen Ming laughed…
Bai Juhua did not plan to let things end like this after suffering such a big loss. But this time, she was not reckless and actually investigated. In fact, there was no need for much investigation. David was not discreet at all; many people in the lobby had seen him. Bai Juhua, who knew the truth, had an extremely ugly expression.
Being able to become a rich woman meant she had some family business. She had made her fortune by mining coal with someone in her early years, so naturally, she had some influence in the underworld. Yesterday, she had underestimated the situation, but that did not mean it would happen again. She had traveled all over the place in recent years but had never suffered such a big loss.
In the evening, she had someone ‘invite’ David over.
When David was dragged over, he was about to act coquettishly, but he was slapped in the face as soon as he arrived. The blow landed on his swollen face, making it worse. He wanted to curse in anger, but he still managed to say in a coquettish tone, “Sister, what are you doing?”
Bai Juhua stood with her hands on her hips. “How dare you ask me that? Little b*stard, playing mind games with me? Do you really think I’m a naive little white flower? Because of you, I’ve lost face!” The more she spoke, the angrier she became, and she slapped David several times.
After the beating, David’s face was completely ruined. Now he realized that the truth had come to light and he could not hide it anymore. He bluntly said, “You caused the trouble. If you had the ability, you should have gone to Shen Qingyue. What’s the point of bullying me….”
