Chu Jinjin understood even more why her father had been struggling with whether or not to let Chu Yan inherit the family business.
Undeniably, he was filial, but he lacked his own opinions and the wisdom and decisiveness that a future head of the family should possess.
Since things had come to this point, everyone was only afraid to speak out because of Wang's fear of future retaliation.
And yet, he still doesn't understand.
How can we gain the respect of the people in the future?
Chu Jinjin sighed silently and reached out to snatch the wooden stick from the head of the guards.
The head of the guards: "...?"
What happened?
The head of the guards stared blankly at his empty hand, then looked at Chu Jinjin. He must have just not noticed.
The other nurses thought the same way.
Some didn't want to get involved, while others wanted to curry favor with the Wang family.
A burly guard, over 1.8 meters tall, walked over. He still remembered his limits and didn't dare to go too far, after all, this was the master's most beloved daughter. He planned to pick her up.
The moment I stretched out my arm, everything blurred before my eyes, and my elbow began to ache terribly.
"If you want glory, first see if you have the ability." Chu Jinjin showed no mercy to those she looked down on, and directly crippled his arm.
The atmosphere froze for what felt like the umpteenth time.
Everything that happened today has exceeded the limits of what people can accept.
Chu Zujian was rescued, but he fainted from a sudden attack of anger. The second young master was the traitor, and the first wife wanted to deal with Chu Jinjin.
But all of these combined are no match for the current situation.
Can Chu Jinjin break a guard's arm with one punch?
Wang was the most shocked. Just as Chu Jinjin had guessed, she knew everything. She wanted to beat her unfilial son to death, but her first reaction was how to protect him and how to keep him alive.
If the collusion with the kidnappers is proven, even if the family doesn't pursue the matter, the person's life is completely over.
Fortunately, Chu Zujian remained unconscious.
Wang's gaze gradually hardened, and she growled in a low voice, "Whoever can take it down will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver."
Just like the bandits of Black Hawk Mountain Stronghold, the current situation is beyond her imagination. No matter how powerful she is, can she defeat dozens of guards who are skilled in martial arts?
She has to suppress this matter first.
As for how the master will be when he wakes up, we can't worry about that for now.
A generous reward will surely attract brave men.
A thousand taels of silver is enough to buy a nice little courtyard house; many people can't save that much in their entire lives.
The guards, who had been dumbfounded, suddenly brightened up.
Even if I get fired, this thousand taels will be enough for me to live comfortably for the rest of my life.
When one person takes action, it's like a clarion call to make money, and suddenly many more people realize it.
Seeing Chu Jinjin surrounded, the unaware Chu Liang frantically forgot his scholar persona: "Whoever dares to make a move, I'll kill them."
Regardless, she is her own sister, born of the same father.
However, no one listened to them. Apart from Chu Zujian, the eldest madam was the most powerful, and the young master was just a concubine's son who was useless.
Liu appeared out of nowhere and came over at some unknown time. She exclaimed, "Third son, your aunt was right. You really are a filial child. You stopped wetting the bed at just one year old."
Chu Liang: "......."
He really wanted to say, "Can't you be more flexible with your timing?"
Liu smiled calmly and whispered, "Just wait and see what happens."
The next moment, countless screams rang out.
The guards at the front were sent flying through the air like sandbags, one of them crashing directly into the clinic's main gate.
Chu Liang: "......!"
The remaining guards stood frozen in place, as if in a daze, still in their charging stance.
Having spent so much time together, they knew each other's skills well; could they be gone in a single glance?
After a few breaths of silence, one of them suddenly drew a steel knife.
After all, it was a family matter, and the mistress was still a delicate young girl; no one had thought about anything serious.
Chu Jinjin's gaze was icy: "You're courting death!"
The dormant heart of the apocalypse seemed to awaken considerably at this moment. Chu Jinjin had held back somewhat, as there was no irreconcilable hatred between them, and she was simply following orders.
But judging from the way he used a knife and his demeanor, it was clear he wanted to kill her.
Chu Jinjin dodged to the side, and before her foot even touched the ground, she swiftly kicked his knee in a vital spot. That wasn't all; the guard screamed in pain and fell to his knees, receiving another punch to the face. Blood mixed with a few teeth left a shocking mark in the air.
Wang was closest to the spot, and a drop of blood landed right on her face. She wiped it away blankly, and the blood drop turned into a bloodstain.
Madam Liu asked with genuine concern, "Madam, would you like a handkerchief?"
Chu Jinjin's anger was far from over.
She cherished the comforts of this life, but even more so, she craved the warmth of family.
Black Hawk Mountain Village kidnapped her father, her second son betrayed him, and Wang Shi protected him. In the apocalypse, she would have killed them all with a single stroke, but now, she has no choice but to endure it.
Chu Jinjin flicked the steel knife with her toe and slashed fiercely at the guard's wrist.
As it approached, it was forcibly moved down a few inches, becoming two fingers.
The gushing blood instantly stained the ground red.
The entire room fell silent.
Blood is terrifying.
Chu Jinjin, holding a blood-dripping steel knife, said in a low voice, her voice filled with murderous intent, "Who else?"
The guards had seen blood before; injuries were common during regular training, but they had never seen blood like this before.
It carries the scent of death.
If they dare to go up, they might lose not just their fingers, but their heads.
The head of the guards was the first to take a step back.
Chu Jinjin didn't make things difficult for them, letting them leave the pharmacy. The next second, she turned around, a steel knife appearing at Wang's neck: "Wang, tell me, where is the second son?"
In the three years since she transmigrated, even though Wang Shi had given her no shortage of petty troubles and bullied her own mother, she had always respectfully addressed her as "Mother."
Humans are inherently selfish; there is no absolute good or bad.
Anyway, her father gave most of his love to her and her mother, so she should be content.
Chu Yan's voice trembled with nervousness: "Third sister, put down the knife. Father has returned. Let's talk about Second Brother's matter when we get home. If he really did something wrong, I will not let him off the hook."
Chu Jinjin didn't even glance at him.
Father has returned.
But the price was too high.
His unconsciousness, coupled with the complicated relationship between the Chu family and Black Eagle Mountain Stronghold, is like planting a time bomb.
Just as no one spoke up for Chu Jinjin earlier, no one dares to speak up for Wang Shi now.
That knife was just stained with blood.
That's insane.
It was Madam Liu. Her expression was more serious than ever before. She gently pushed the steel knife away and said solemnly, "Jinjin, no."
"I won't kill her." Chu Jinjin didn't back down, sheathed her knife, and wrapped it around Wang's neck on the other side.
Liu walked over here and pushed again, so Chu Jinjin had to change again, and Liu came around again.
Wang, her expression blank: "..."
She felt like a tree stump, with her mother and son playing games around her.
Just then, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard outside.
The guards immediately recognized it as their own carriage and even knew who was inside.
The head of the guards excitedly took on the role of groom, holding the reins.
The old steward, though old, was still quite agile. He jumped off the carriage, respectfully lifted the curtain, and almost lifted the curtain in a hugging motion to help the person inside out of the carriage.
The head of the guards wanted to help, but was startled by a cough that sounded like it was about to cough out his heart, and stood frozen in place.
If I remember correctly, Grandpa Chu hasn't left his house for two or three years.
