Chapter 175 Host, calm down, murder is illegal!
It can be said that alcohol emboldens cowards.
Having recovered from his earlier fear, Zhao Shengnian pulled out a flashlight and shakily changed a light bulb.
Then he took out alcohol, rinsed the wound on Liu Xiu's forehead, sprinkled on anti-inflammatory medicine, and bandaged it up casually.
Anyway, it's not like it's the first time I've hit her. Calling 120 would cost money. As long as she doesn't die, it's fine.
After finishing all that, Zhao Shengnian leaned against the corner of the wall and lit a cigarette.
He was quite certain that the person who texted him to arrange a meeting was the one from the Xue family.
Could it be that Zhao Tang is already dead? And the Xue family has come to give him money?
The more I think about it, the more likely it seems.
This truly shows that when one door closes, another opens; even that money-loser has some use.
The thought of money made Zhao Shengnian's hands itch uncontrollably. He wished he could immediately grab the money and sit at the gambling table. He was sure he could win back his losses this time!
After finishing his cigarette, Zhao Shengnian washed his face and felt much more awake.
Looking at Liu Xiu huddled on the sofa, Zhao Shengnian was furious.
"Don't look like a dead man. That good-for-nothing is dead. Go wash the blood off your face and come with me to get the money."
If the Xue family hadn't said that the couple should both come forward to handle this matter, he really wouldn't have bothered to do it.
Liu Xiu's previously unfocused gaze began to focus after hearing these words. Her fingers, hidden in her sleeve, trembled slightly, but quickly returned to a stagnant state.
A moment later, the two, bundled up tightly, went out together.
But behind their sunglasses and masks, one face was beaming with joy, while the other was streaked with tears...
Liu Xiu gripped his sleeve tightly.
Why? Why can the person who harmed her daughter go unpunished? Why can a beast like Zhao Shengnian receive compensation?
......
An hour later, Zhao Shengnian and his companion finally found room 444 of the Jinting Hotel.
Strangely enough, we didn't see a single waiter or even a single customer as we walked in.
Zhao Shengnian thought to himself: Could it be that the Xue family has booked this hotel? As expected of a wealthy family, they are very meticulous in their work.
Room 444 is located on the 4th floor, at the very edge.
The further you go in, the dimmer the hallway lights become, and they even flicker occasionally.
Perhaps it was because they were too excited, or perhaps they had already taken these things as a cover-up by the Xue family.
Zhao Shengnian didn't find it strange at all.
He eagerly pushed open the heavy door, revealing a bright and luxuriously decorated interior.
We've arrived too early; the Xue family hasn't arrived yet.
Next to the dining table was a solid wood tea table with tea leaves on it, and the kettle was bubbling with hot water.
Zhao Shengnian was extremely thirsty after rushing out.
He strode to the tea table and brewed tea in a very good mood.
"I'd like to try the tea from this fancy hotel too!"
After Liu Xiu entered the room, he stood at the doorway, his swollen eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, fixed on Zhao Shengnian.
"Aren't you going to come and stand guard over there? I'm in a good mood today, so you better behave yourself and don't make me unhappy."
After saying that, Zhao Shengnian placed the teacup heavily on the tea table.
Liu Xiu dared not delay and moved toward Zhao Shengnian.
Her muscles were tense, and cold sweat beaded on her forehead.
If Zhao Shengnian had observed carefully, he would have noticed that Liu Xiu's legs were trembling.
Unfortunately, his mind was entirely focused on how to negotiate with the Xue family later.
Three steps, two steps, one step...
With each step, we move further into the abyss.
Liu Xiu finally came to Zhao Shengnian's side. She lowered her head and picked up the teapot with her left hand, as if to refill Zhao Shengnian's teacup.
The reddish-brown tea slowly dripped from the teapot into the teacup.
"hiss......"
Even as the tea spilled out of the cup, Liu Xiu showed no sign of stopping.
"Liu Xiu! Are you trying to scald me to death?"
"No, you can't die so easily."
Zhao Shengnian felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing Liu Xiu's icy tone. After a moment of stunned silence, he assumed he had misheard.
"What did you say?"
Liu Xiu looked at Zhao Shengnian's face and repeated the words slowly and deliberately.
"I said, I won't let you die so easily!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Liu Xiu flipped the teapot in his left hand over and smashed it onto Zhao Shengnian's face.
Zhao Shengnian reached out to try to stop it, but to little avail, and a full pot of scalding hot tea was poured over his head.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"
"Ah! Ah! Liu Xiu!"
"It's so hot, you bitch! I'm going to kill you!"
......
"Holy crap, host, what's going on here?"
He Fan, hiding in the cubicle: "...You're asking me?"
One man grinned and glared at the two people 'fighting like dogs' at the tea table.
He Fan sighed inwardly, "What a waste of such a good pot of tea. I didn't even have a chance to take a sip before it was fed to the dog."
Before the system could even chime in, He Fan's eyes widened in surprise.
"Big shot, turn off the lights!!!"
The system reacted extremely quickly; before the word "light" was even finished, the room was plunged into darkness.
"Host, mission complete!"
Taking advantage of the darkness, He Fan quickly darted behind Liu Xiu.
He watched helplessly as the scissors in her hand plunged into Zhao Shengnian's left shoulder.
He Fan thought to himself, "What a pity. This position is too far off."
"Ahhhh!!!"
After hearing Zhao Shengnian's pig-like screams, He Fan kicked Liu Xiu to the ground.
He Fan tried to cover up his mistake by explaining to the tycoon, "Oh dear, I wasn't fast enough. I was too late to stop the attack."
System: "...I certainly didn't see you pause on purpose, host."
He Fan's lips curled up, his gaze fixed intently on Zhao Shengnian's face, which had just been scalded and was now scabbed red and purple, with some peeling skin.
In the past, He Fan might have found it terrifying.
Having witnessed Zhao Tang's terrible condition firsthand, she felt that Zhao Shengnian's injuries were far too minor.
How could he be so indifferent after his own daughter was tortured like this? And how could he be so subservient and bargain with the murderer?
The system sensed the anger emanating from He Fan.
"Host, calm down! Murder is illegal!"
Then, the system seemed to remember something and hurriedly added, "Even with Xing Zhiyuan as a backup, it's still dangerous. His loyalty level isn't full yet."
He Fan took a deep breath.
Ugh, damn it, it smells like scalded pig skin.
"Don't worry, I'm a law-abiding citizen..."
After saying that, He Fan mentally prepared himself.
"Dad~"
A shrill, piercing scream echoed throughout the private room.
That earth-shattering, ghost-weeping voice was none other than He Fan's shout.
At this moment, He Fan was wearing a pure white long dress, the hem of which was soaked with blood. Her fair face was covered with bloodstains and her long hair was disheveled and scattered over her shoulders.
She approached Zhao Shengnian step by step.
A sinister smile hung on his blood-stained face.
"Dad, did you come to see me?"
"Dad, you came to save me, right?"
"Waaaaah~ Hahaha~ Dad~ I died so tragically~"
