Upon hearing Zeng Shuxiu's slanderous words, Gong Nanting couldn't hold back any longer. He stepped forward and slapped her several times with almost all his might, causing Zeng Shuxiu to fall to the ground and vomit blood.

"You vicious woman! My mother treated you like a sister, and this is how you repay her kindness! You beast in human form!"

Zeng Shuxiu struggled to her feet, a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth, and let out a series of cold laughs that sent chills down one's spine.

She sat up as if she felt no pain. "A vile woman? Hah... a beast in human form?"

"If she weren't the eldest daughter of a merchant family, and I weren't just an illegitimate daughter of a merchant family, things wouldn't have come to this! All of this is owed to me by Shang Qin and Gong Canghai! I'm just taking back what's mine, what have I done wrong!"

Gong Beize stared coldly at Zeng Shuxiu and said in a deep voice, "Unrepentant! What does all this have to do with my parents? Even if you want revenge, it's none of their business! This is all your ambition!"

My father has always loved my mother. He only loves you because of my mother, and that love extends to you as a result.

"If it weren't for my mother, do you think you could be treated like a master in the Gong family? Ridiculous!"

Upon hearing this, Zeng Shuxiu shook her head in disbelief.

"How could that be! Absolutely not! Canghai loves me. It wasn't because of that bitch Shang Qin that he stole him away! She bewitched her! I am Gong Canghai's wife!"

Gong Nanting stepped forward and kicked her a few more times, saying, "Pah! Father would never look favorably upon a viper like you!"

Gong Beize coldly said, "If my father liked you, why would you need to change your face to look exactly like my mother's? You're just deceiving yourself!"

"You're talking nonsense!" After saying that, Zeng Shuxiu sat down on the ground and laughed for no reason. She said viciously, "He said he liked this face the most, so I deliberately found her when she ran away from home, and then had Wang Gao take it off her face and put it on my face."

I even went to Canghai's grave to tell him, and he said I looked very good like this, and he liked it very much.

...

Gong Nanting immediately wanted to tear Zeng Shuxiu apart, "You vicious woman, how could you treat my mother like this? I'll make you pay for this in blood!"

After saying that, he picked up the pistol tucked into his waistband, pointed it at Zeng Shuxiu, and cocked it swiftly... Just at this critical moment, Gong Beize caught him.

Gong Nanting looked at Gong Beize with confusion and said, "Brother, you stopped me before because of Yuanyuan, so why are you still watching me now?"

Gong Beize's face was cold. "Your status is different now; your every word and action represents the entire nation. Leave this matter to me."

Before Gong Nanting could react, Gong Beize released his grip and walked straight to the now-mad Zeng Shuxiu. He then pulled out a short knife from his person and said coldly, "You don't deserve this face!"

This was his mother's face, practically identical. He simply couldn't bring himself to do it, and he was even more unwilling for Zeng Shuxiu to see her mother with that face.

Destroying it would be the best outcome.

Then, with a few swift strokes, a terrifying scream erupted from the room, sending chills down the spines of the servants working downstairs. People in the surrounding villas also glanced in this direction from time to time.

Inside the room, Gong Nanting looked at the mangled face on the floor and couldn't help but go to the side and dry heave.

When Wang Gao saw his "former lover" in this state, he looked away, his first thought being that he might end up in the same situation.

On the contrary, Chi Qiao looked at his master calmly. In the past ten years, he had seen far more terrifying scenes than this.

Gong Beize stared coldly at Zeng Shuxiu's mangled body, his disgust evident in his eyes.

"Zeng Shuxiu, this face of yours is now in the underworld; go and atone for my mother's sins!"

Zeng Shuxiu, writhing on the ground in pain, had long lost the ability to think and was only continuing to scream in agony.

Gong Beize immediately raised his gun, looked coldly at Zeng Shuxiu in front of him, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Wang Gao, who was standing nearby, was startled by the gunshot. Now that he knew Zeng Shuxiu had been using him from the beginning, he felt even more regretful.

Is it useful to regret it?

It's obviously useless!

Gong Beize quickly walked up to Wang Gao and gestured for Chi Qiao to remove the rag from his mouth.

Just as he was about to speak, Wang Gao hurriedly interrupted, "Young Master Gong, Second Young Master Gong, I was blinded by her and that's why I did that. I didn't mean it. Please be merciful and let me go!"

After saying this, he was so afraid that he wanted to kowtow, but because he was tied up, he could only lower his head slightly, which looked particularly ridiculous.

Gong Beize said slowly, "Let you go? When you agreed to give Zeng Shuxiu plastic surgery, did you ever think about whether my mother wanted you to let her go!"

Wang Gao's expression changed. He remembered that when the surgery started, Shang Qin had been awake for a while and had pleaded with him to let her go, saying that she still had three children at home who hadn't grown up yet.

But seeing the person he liked beside him, he ignored Shang Qin's pleas and pushed in the intravenous anesthetic.

Before long, he saw Shang Qin close her eyes unwillingly and then lose consciousness.

In other words, he didn't save her!

Wang Gao said in horror, "It's my fault. I was bewitched and listened to Zeng Shuxiu's words, which is why I did such a terrible thing!"

"If you two gentlemen forgive me this time, I promise I won't do it again!"

At this moment, Gong Nanting, who had finally recovered, immediately launched into several kicks, using all his strength compared to the force he had used on Zeng Shuxiu.

Wang Gao lay on the ground for a long time without getting up, and was forced to vomit a mouthful of blood.

Gong Beize stepped forward and asked, "Where is my mother's body buried?"

Wang Gao was in excruciating pain, and upon hearing these words, a sense of fear welled up within him.

Upon hearing this, an idea immediately came to him, and he said, "I can tell you, Young Master Gong, can you let me go?"

"Tell me or not, or I'll send you to meet the King of Hell right now!"

Wang Gao quickly said, "I'll talk, I'll talk."

“Zeng Shuxiu wanted to grind her bones to dust, but I couldn’t bear it, so I secretly buried her next to your father’s grave. It’s a nameless grave, easy to find.”

He deliberately didn't write his name because he was worried that Zeng Shuxiu would find out.

Upon hearing this, Gong Beize's expression softened somewhat, but then, thinking of what Wang Gao had done to his mother, his face turned cold as he said, "Don't you like torturing people? Fine, I like it too."

"What are you going to do!" Wang Gao asked, somewhat frightened.

Gong Beize ignored him and instead gave instructions to Chi Qiao.

When Chi Qiao returned, she saw the medical supplies in his hand.

Gong Beize had studied first aid and knew some routine medical procedures. He quickly took the intravenous syringe and walked up to Wang Gao.
