Chapter 224 I am a serious businessman
Jiang Shibai agreed to her without saying a word, "Okay, I'll accompany you."
After the Zhai family was controlled, he delayed giving the order to move against them, but wanted to wait for Xu Xian to wake up and let her make the decision.
My mother is currently lying in the ICU and doesn’t have much time left. She needs an outlet to vent her emotions instead of being frightened all the time and standing outside the ward without eating or drinking.
The corners of Xu Xian's eyes were red, and his face was unusually cold. Apart from that, there was no other expression on his face. His voice was hard, like an emotionless machine executing specific instructions.
"I'll go by myself."
The implication is that he is not needed to accompany her.
She didn't want him to see her cruel side. When she went to Zhai's house to see Zhai Jin, she didn't even know what crazy thing she would do.
It was just the thought in her mind that drove her, she had to settle the score with her own hands.
Otherwise, as long as she thought about how Zhai Jin hurt her mother because of her, depriving her mother of the little time she had left in this world.
The heart, which was numb with pain, began to ache slightly, and the skin of the chest was peeled off bit by bit, exposing it to the bacteria-contaminated air without reservation.
Even though she knew very well that Zhai Jin was the culprit, she should not have adopted the victim-blaming theory.
But the evil thoughts still tightly entangled her mind, like an invisible hand fanning the flames from behind, plunging her into a dark abyss.
Jiang Shibai was silent for a moment, then kissed her soft hair without any distractions. His voice was gentle, and he said in a negotiating tone, "I'll take you there. I won't go into the villa, okay?"
Xu Xian raised his eyes and looked into those eyes that were as gentle as the sea as always. The fatigue of the past few days could not cover up the unique starlight in his eyes.
Seeing that she neither objected nor agreed, Jiang Shibai touched her pale cheek with heartache, and lowered his voice a few degrees, "My dear, I respect your decision."
After she woke up, she didn't shed a single tear. She was strangely calm and composed, as if she had lost all her emotions.
Even the tone lacked some emotion, neither sad nor angry.
He was really worried about her going to Zhai's house alone, even though the villa was full of his people and surrounded by people, no one could hurt her.
But he was afraid that she would act irrationally and hurt herself.
Xu Xian saw through his thoughts at a glance, not knowing whether he was really afraid that he would worry, or was afraid that she would do something irrational without anyone stopping her.
After a few seconds, she nodded in agreement to his suggestion.
When they were on their way to Zhai's house, the house was already in chaos.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Zhai family compound is an iron wall. Inside the wall stands a tall and strong bodyguard every five meters, and outside the villa stands a circle of big men also in combat uniforms.
Inside the villa, all communication equipment signals were forcibly cut off. The three members of the Zhai family were placed under house arrest in the living room, tied up and thrown to the ground, curled up on the cold floor all night.
After they checked the surveillance footage near the fish pond yesterday, Du Yuanzhou led his men into Zhai's house with weapons, tied them up without saying a word, and then forced Zhai Jin to tell them about what happened at the wedding.
Zhai Jin did not cry until he saw the coffin as imagined. He recounted the whole story in an extremely calm tone, as if he had already guessed the situation today and was ready to die.
Du Yuanzhou played with the lighter from time to time. A faint flame would rise up and then go out in an instant, repeating over and over again without end.
On the cold tiles, Zhai's mother's tears had long dried up, her hair was disheveled, and she had lost the elegance and composure of a noble lady. Zhai's father's old face was flushed red, and he stared at Du Yuanzhou with bloodshot eyes, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
Zhai Jin was the most indifferent. He closed his eyes and rested, ignoring the outside world.
After provoking Xu Xian's mother, she watched with satisfaction as she fell to the ground with difficulty breathing and vomiting blood. The pleasure of revenge reached its peak at that moment.
She then left the scene as if nothing had happened and returned home to wait for death to come.
The moment she made the decision, she had already disregarded life and death, and only felt the pleasure of revenge.
Xu Xian must have cried herself to tears by now, and her parents were lying on the ground like a puddle of mud, tearing off their hypocritical masks and looking like crazy parents-in-law.
They would all go to hell with her.
The bodyguard came in and whispered in Du Yuanzhou's ear, "Boss Jiang said he and his wife are coming to the villa now, and they want you to have fun, regardless of life or death."
Du Yuanzhou laughed with an ambiguous smile, a hint of amusement on his devilish face, "Hmm."
He raised his hand slowly, moving his fingers slightly, and the bodyguard stepped forward with a glance.
"Untie the three of them, so they won't call us bandits. I'm a serious businessman."
The bodyguard followed orders, uncuffed the shackles on Zhai Jin's family's hands and feet, and tore off the black tape on their mouths.
After being freed, Zhai's father immediately approached Du Yuanzhou angrily, cursing, "Du Yuanzhou, you kidnapped me and violated my right to personal freedom. I will call the police to arrest you."
"Do you think there's no one left in the Zhai family? How audacious—"
Before he could finish his words, the bodyguard kicked him to the ground.
The sound of Zhai's father howling like a ghost was heard in the living room, and he was holding his lower abdomen with a look of pain on his face.
Du Yuanzhou scoffed and said slowly, "Boss Zhai, where is your Zhai family? How come I didn't see anyone? In ancient times, if you committed a crime, your entire clan would be implicated. I was just playing with you three, how could that be considered kidnapping? Don't accuse me of anything."
"You - ah -" Father Zhai lay on the ground, unable to move, pointing at Du Yuanzhou tremblingly.
Du Yuanzhou's affectionate peach blossom eyes were filled with a cold smile, and he raised his chin slightly. The bodyguard easily broke his index finger, so that it could no longer stand up and point at him.
"If Zhai Jin did something wrong, you can call the police to arrest her. It has nothing to do with the Zhai and Lin families. Young Master Du, why did you come to our house and fight with us?" Zhai's mother just glanced at Zhai's father lightly and said while enduring the humiliation.
She was smarter than Zhai's father who acted impulsively, and knew that it was not appropriate to act rashly and lose her composure.
Now we live in a society ruled by law, and she doesn't believe that Du Yuanzhou can take their lives.
She heard everything Zhai Jin and Du Yuanzhou said yesterday, and she really didn't know how she could have given birth to such a fool.
He is a brainless person who harms others and never cleans up his act. He verbally provokes Xu Xian's mother in broad daylight.
Ultimately, if this matter was reported to the police, Zhai Jin would at most be sentenced to a few years in prison. However, what made him most uneasy was that after Du Yuanzhou came to their house and tied them up yesterday, no police showed up.
He is well-known for his reckless behavior in Hai City. He has become more restrained as he grows older, but that doesn't mean he has lost his bloodiness and debauchery in his bones.
There's no guarantee that he'll do something wrong.
Du Yuanzhou glanced at Zhai Jin, who had remained silent, with disdain. "If you and Mr. Zhai can't teach your daughter, we will naturally do it for you. As for calling the police? Does Mrs. Zhai think I'm stupid?"
The consequence of calling the police was that their family would receive legal protection. Zhai Jin deliberately provoked Zhang Wan. Even if the Jiang family put pressure on him, he would only be sentenced to a few years in prison at most. But in their opinion, that was far less than Zhang Wan's life.
Mother Zhai's heart skipped a beat when she saw this. She had a bad feeling and smiled apologetically, "Master Du, we can discuss this. We're willing to give you some of our property as compensation. As for Zhai Jin, you can do whatever you want with him. As parents, we won't say a word."
