When Jingmin pushed open Jiang Xu's hospital room door,
With a soft "creak," the sound was like a pebble breaking the stillness of a lake.
It stood out starkly in this eerily quiet space.
Jiang's mother was still dozing off.
Her body was curled up in the chair beside the hospital bed, her hair disheveled, and at the sound of a noise...
She seemed to have been greatly frightened, and suddenly stood up, her body trembling slightly involuntarily.
He slowly stood in front of the hospital bed.
Her eyes were filled with fear and wariness, as if Jing Min before her was a demon from hell.
Her once exquisite makeup was now a complete mess.
She was completely different from the radiant and arrogant person she was yesterday.
Jing Min didn't hesitate to look him in the eye, raised an eyebrow, and casually waved his hand. The two burly bodyguards behind him immediately understood.
Hurry up and step forward,
Their movements were clean and swift, and they quickly subdued Jiang's mother.
Jiang's mother struggled a few times, but it was all in vain; she could only let out weak sobs.
Jing Min, with his hands in his pockets, walked unhurriedly towards the hospital bed.
He exudes an aura of superiority that is impossible to ignore.
His eyes were cold and sharp, like frost in a cold night.
Looking at Jiang Xu, who was wrapped up like a mummy in the hospital bed...
A playful smile curved Jing Min's lips.
His voice was as cold and indifferent as ice.
"Congratulations, you've survived a great calamity!"
He deliberately dragged out the last syllable, his words full of sarcasm.
He only said half of what he meant.
Jing Min's hawk-like gaze shifted to Jiang's lower body, then he spoke again, deliberately drawing out his words.
"Good fortune is sure to follow!"
The words he uttered were like sharp knives, piercing straight into Jiang Xu's heart.
Jiang Xu, lying on the hospital bed, suddenly widened his eyes, his gaze burning like a raging fire, and a bone-chilling hatred burst forth from his eyes.
He is now completely unable to move.
Even if he recovers, he'll be no different from a disabled person.
Where did this good fortune come from!
The bloody and tragic scenes from not long ago involuntarily flashed before my eyes.
Jing Min now seemed so hateful and terrifying to him.
He could speak, but it felt like there was a wad of cotton stuck in his throat.
He could only involuntarily let out some indistinct sounds, filled with anger and resentment.
His eyes were fixed on Jing Min, as if he wanted to tear him to pieces with his gaze.
However, Jing Min remained calm and unconcerned. She returned his gaze with disdain, her eyes filled with contempt and arrogance.
"The reason I've spared your dog's life until now is..."
He took two more steps closer, and Jiang Xu on the hospital bed involuntarily shrank back.
"You should confess whether you said anything you shouldn't have."
Jiang Xu's gaze froze. Was it something he shouldn't have said?
Suddenly, his pupils dilated slightly, then his face flushed red, and his body struggled and trembled uncontrollably, as if something was suppressing his breath.
With a dazed look, he saw Jing Min's large hand under his neck.
Suddenly Jingmin released his grip, leaned slightly forward, and spoke in a threatening tone.
"Confess honestly! Otherwise..."
After saying that, he glanced in the direction of Jiang's mother.
Not far away was Jiang's mother, restrained and sobbing incessantly. Jiang Xu turned his head in the direction of his gaze.
Instantly, his chest heaved violently, and his breathing became rapid and heavy.
Bodyguards had already taken out handkerchiefs and tried to cover Jiang's mother's mouth and nose.
Finally, in his anger and despair, he spoke.
Yes, there is a saying.
Bodyguards stop
He continued weakly.
"I told you about the Chu family mine,"
Jing Min's eyes flickered, his dark pupils instantly turning deep and unfathomable.
Jiang Xu seemed to have used all his strength to say those few words; they should have been from the same family.
Jingmin wouldn't treat him like this just for a woman, unless…
He wanted to die knowing the truth, so he exposed the truth.
"You're treating us so ruthlessly, just using us as scapegoats and kicking out these bloodsucking relatives, aren't you?"
Last night, Jiang Xu heard from her mother that everyone present was doomed, and Jing Min had dealt with them all.
Those with shares or positions, or those with close ties to the family, were all stripped of their rights. Even the elderly lady was sent back to a resort to retire and was not allowed to return to the Jing family manor.
Now, Jing Min holds absolute power in the Jing family, his word is law, and they could easily revert to their former state.
He was initially feeling guilty that his momentary lust had implicated his family.
Looking back now, it seems that Jing Min had wanted to get rid of them all along.
If we deliberately let him get involved in the Chu family's affairs, and then deal with them later, everyone will just say he's putting righteousness before family.
It wouldn't be said that he was cold-blooded, ruthless, or treacherous as a relative by marriage to the Chu family.
He always said that!
He wouldn't go to such lengths for a woman.
In the end, the Chu family gained both benefits and reputation, while those bloodsucking relatives were also cut off.
As the saying goes, one action kills three birds with one stone!
Jing Min stood there silently, his dark eyes deep and unfathomable.
His condescending attitude seemed to imply that even ants were unworthy to fathom his thoughts.
Jing Min scoffed, "Give them too much face, and even a dog will think it's a lion."
Such blatant humiliation left Jiang Xu, accustomed to a life of luxury, both furious and helpless.
His breathing became even deeper and heavier.
"Isn't that what I said? You are a hypocrite, a heartless and treacherous scoundrel!"
"Finished yelling?"
His voice was indifferent, and he did not answer Jiang Xu's question.
He didn't even react to the insults, as if it were a contemptible insult to an ant.
"What was her reaction?"
Jiang Xu was taken aback, then gave a bitter laugh.
