Nanxi's knuckles turned white as she grasped the hem of her skirt. Her teeth were biting her lower lip tightly. Her breathing was rapid and her mind was blank for a moment.
"Chen Ce, Yuncheng is not your Shen family's, is there no law?"
Shen Ce sneered, "The detention center is full of thugs, and fighting is normal. Once he is sentenced and sent to prison, I will update you on other programs."
Thugs? Do you really think she's blind? Those guys' skills are obviously those of trained martial artists.
"Chen Ce—" Nanxi really wanted to slap him, but his face was wrapped up like a pig's head, and there was no place to hit him. If he got hurt, it would be right in his trap.
Nanxi raised her hand high above her head and her whole body was trembling. Although she tried her best to restrain herself, tears still flowed down her face. Looking at Baru who was being besieged like a trapped beast on the screen, her heart was broken.
"You know what, this guy is really good at fighting. He's been fighting since last night. But then again, one punch is worth 100,000. There are plenty of people in Yuncheng who are willing to fight to the death, right?
Are you feeling bad now? It's still early, don't worry." Shen Ce's tone was filled with indescribable joy and viciousness, and then he pulled up a surveillance picture.
The small single cell had only one tiny window. Inside was a man with gray hair, doing handicrafts with his head down. He looked numb and dull. Although his face was not clearly visible, Nanxi recognized him as her father at a glance.
He's really aged a lot. Also, what's that on his arm? Why is there such a large burn? And why is there a large patch of hair missing at the back of his head?
"What happened to him? What on earth did you do to him?"
Nanxi collapsed instantly, grabbing Shen Ce's collar, his eyes bloodshot as if he wanted to eat him alive.
"You attacked my father? Shen Ce, you devil, I will kill you--"
The nurse outside rushed in at this time and pulled Nanxi away. Madam Shen asked someone to drive Nanxi out, but Shen Ce refused and drove everyone out. He quietly looked at Nanxi standing opposite him on the verge of collapse.
"Xixi baby, don't you understand yet? In Yuncheng, whoever you want to keep has to get my approval, including your father and your little lover."
Nanxi gritted her teeth in hatred, "I will definitely kill you, Shen Ce."
She still didn't turn around, and Shen Ce spoke again, "Your father is sick with uremia. Xixi, do you want to go and find out how this disease is treated? And see if Nan Zhenguo can hold on until you kill me? Hmm?"
The violent storm, accompanied by hail, lashed the thorn bushes in the wilderness fiercely. The proud and rugged branches and the newly grown thorns were stripped of their skin and tendons, their proud bones were broken, and even the tender roots in the soil were blown out.
"Xixi baby, don't cry." Shen Ce looked at her sitting on the ground crying silently and said softly,
"Be good, go back and get ready. I'll have someone go to the Nan family to propose marriage again in a couple of days. When I'm better, we'll go get the marriage certificate, okay?"
Nanxi looked up, unable to believe it.
She had thought that Shen Ce had attacked Baru and her father to avenge her, but she had never expected that he still harbored the intention of marrying her.
"Don't look at me like that, Xixi. I didn't expect that after going through the gates of hell, I still want you. Maybe it's just like you said, I'm really crazy."
Nanxi lowered her head, her long black eyelashes covering the suppressed hatred surging in her eyes. She quickly persuaded herself to calm down, analyzed the current situation, bit her tongue hard, and raised her eyes, looking pitiful.
"Can you really let go of what happened before?"
Shen Ce pursed his lips and said, "It's not your fault, Xixi. I was the one who hit you first. Besides, it wasn't you who hit me, so you shouldn't have to pay the price."
"So, you'll let my dad get treatment?"
"Of course, honey. He's my father-in-law after all. The first surgery is already done, and he'll be able to receive dialysis soon. I'll also have someone take care of the person who burned him."
Nanxi took a deep breath and forced herself to stand up. She moved to sit beside Chen Ce's bed, "Ace."
Her slender white fingers hooked around his index finger. "I was just angry at you for going out with Baru. Who allowed you to bully me? Now that we've talked it out, can you please let him go?"
Shen Ce looked down at their intertwined fingers and said calmly, "Now that this matter has come to light, I can't possibly have such great authority."
Nanxi almost gnashed her teeth to pieces and paused for two seconds, "Then, please don't let anyone beat him up again, okay? If someone gets beaten to death, it will be troublesome for you and the Shen family."
"Are you concerned about me or him?"
"After all, we've been dating for a while and we get along very well. I'm not really heartless. Of course I can feel how good you are to me. Otherwise, I wouldn't agree to get engaged to you, right?
But, I was really angry about what happened last time, and I'm still upset. This matter isn't over yet, so don't try to fool me."
The man opposite pursed his lips and smiled.
If she really said that she forgave him and asked for his sympathy, it would only mean that she was willing to give up everything for that Burmese man. However, when she said that she was still angry, it was somewhat believable.
Nanxi is a proud and arrogant person, and will not give her true heart easily. The Burmese man probably took advantage of his face that could please women and coaxed her into losing her virginity. Nanxi was just attracted to him temporarily.
"Ace——" The beautiful girl pushed him.
Shen Ce came back to his senses and took her hand in his backhand, "Xixi, you haven't answered me yet. I'm fine. Let's go get the certificate, okay?"
"Let him go first." Nanxi wanted to pull her hand back, but he held it tightly and she couldn't break free.
"Xixi, if you do this, I will mistakenly think that you care about him."
Suddenly, in the real-time projection screen, Balu was kicked against the wall by a man with a scar on his face who came in last. Then, everyone took the opportunity to rush over. In the surveillance video, she could only see those people's heads and raised fists.
"Look, I told you. No matter how skilled your martial arts skills are, they're still afraid of kitchen knives. Masters often die from random punches. After a day and night of continuous fighting, you've already reached your limit. Now, it all depends on your choice, Xixi."
"Stop, make them stop..."
The moment Balu fell, the last string in Nanxi's mind was tense. She rushed forward regardless of anything, wishing she could bite off a piece of flesh from Shen Ce.
"Tell me, tell me you will marry me, and I will spare his life."
Nanxi's nails dug into the flesh of Shen Ce's arm, and she gnashed her teeth in hatred.
"Okay, I promise, I'll tell your dog to stop and get him a doctor, right away."
Shen Ce picked up the phone calmly and dialed a number, "Stop."
“Find a doctor for him—” Before Nanxi could finish her words, Shen Ce hung up the phone.
"Don't worry, you won't die from a few hits. I'm hungry, fiancée, ask someone to bring some food over and eat with me."
