Chen San was dragged in by Lu Ying like a dead dog. Once inside the hall, Lu Ying immediately let go. Without restraint or support, Chen San collapsed to the ground. Hu Mingmei smiled faintly and said, "Raise your head. I'm tired of looking down!"
He doesn't have the habit of looking up at people all the time, but he also doesn't like looking down all the time.
Chen San remained motionless, as if he hadn't heard what Hu Mingmei said. If it weren't for the clicking sounds coming from Chen San's throat, he would have thought Chen San was dead.
“He’s got a tough nut to crack!” Hu Mingmei smiled again, looked up at Lu Ying and said, “Keep hitting him, keep hitting him until he listens.”
"Yes!" Lu Ying replied in a deep voice, and dragged Chen San out again.
It's no wonder that Hu Mingmei was ruthless and determined to kill the man. Even if Hu Mingmei hadn't said anything, he would have still taken action. Not only did Hu Mingmei live in this courtyard, but his sister-in-law also lived there, and his wife and children were still fast asleep in his room.
This person actually tried to set fire to his family and kill them. Even if Hu Mingmei didn't do anything or say anything, Lu Ying herself wouldn't let this person go.
The servants who were cleaning up the kerosene in the courtyard were still very curious when they saw Lu Ying bring the man out again. Although they didn't dare to look openly, they still glanced at him casually. Lu Ying's methods were much better than before. He didn't use too much force on Chen San. He just moved his hand on Chen San a few times. They heard a crisp cracking sound from Chen San's body. His left hand fell down strangely, and he screamed loudly at the same time.
Clearly, Lu Ying remembered Hu Mingmei's words. He also remembered that there was a pregnant woman sleeping soundly in Hu Mingmei's room, and their mistress had not yet gotten up. So, Chen San only let out a scream, and Lu Ying raised his hand to press Chen San's acupoints. Even if it hurt a lot, Chen San could not make a sound and could only suppress the pain of broken bones.
The servants were horrified. Normally, Manager Lu was gentle and refined, and spoke calmly. He never raised his voice to them or acted like a manager. They never expected him to be so ruthless when he got physical.
Without saying a word, he knocked out a person's teeth. Not only that, but the way he easily dislocated the person's arm suggests he's done this kind of work quite often before.
"What are you looking at?" Lu Ying's gaze swept over the people working around him, the coldness in his eyes almost tangible. Those whose gaze fell upon him all lowered their heads and continued working, not daring to look any further.
Lu Ying withdrew her gaze and sneered, "I'm going to ask you questions now. You can either nod or shake your head. Of course, if you nod, you'll suffer less. If you don't nod or shake your head, I'll continue to dislocate your legs and arms. Shaking your head is the same."
"Did you hear me clearly?" Lu Ying asked again after she finished speaking.
Chen San finally learned his lesson and nodded, sweating profusely.
"Isn't that better?" Lu Ying looked at him. "If you cooperate sooner, you won't lose your teeth or your hand." With that, Lu Ying carried Chen San back.
As soon as Chen San entered, Hu Mingmei noticed that Chen San's left hand was hanging down strangely, but Hu Mingmei only asked one question, "Are you willing to cooperate?"
Lu Ying nodded.
"Tell me, who sent you?"
Chen San didn't speak, so Lu Ying raised her hand and released Chen San's pressure points. Chen San's arm was broken, and he was still in a lot of pain. As soon as he could make a sound, Chen San groaned and curled up on the ground.
"No one sent me!" Chen San clutched his left arm with his right hand, writhing on the ground in pain, his face flushed red. But what he said surprised Lu Ying greatly. "I came by myself. I just couldn't stand that woman driving away my wife and even trying to take her to the authorities. I was so angry that I wanted to burn her alive!"
Lu Ying's face darkened, and she said coldly, "It's been almost two months since Granny Jiang was kicked out. If you harbored any resentment, you would have come to take revenge long ago!"
As she spoke, Lu Ying stepped forward and dislocated Chen San's other arm. Before doing so, she pressed his pressure points so that he couldn't utter a sound.
"Forget it, since he's Granny Jiang's lover, he must be one of Second Aunt's people. It wouldn't be right not to inform them if her people set fire to my yard. Donglai, go and invite them all over!"
One servant almost caused his entire family to perish in a fire, and they couldn't sleep peacefully. If he couldn't sleep, no one else could either.
"Remember, this is a family. Everyone must come over!" Hu Mingmei said, enunciating each word clearly.
Xia Donglai understood that Hu Mingmei wanted to make an example of them to warn them to behave themselves, but, "What about Huang Yikang?" He had heard from Eleven and Twelve that Huang Yikang was mentally unstable.
"He doesn't need to!" Hu Mingmei had just remembered that there was a sick person at home.
“From now on, people in that courtyard are only allowed to enter, not leave, so as not to bring bad luck out!” Hu Mingmei added.
"Yes!" Xia Donglai said in a deep voice, while dispatching several strong servants to guard Hu Yikang's courtyard and calling for reinforcements.
"Hu Mingmei, what do you want to do?" Huang Wenbai's courtyard was the furthest from Hu Mingmei's, but he arrived the fastest because Xia Donglai personally invited him and brought the two old men over.
As soon as the couple entered, they saw that the courtyard was brightly lit, with many servants squatting in the corners busy at work. The air was filled with a strong smell of kerosene and blood. The couple felt very strange and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
