Chapter 561: Who Will Punish Him_1

To repay her benefactor in such a way, is truly a case of repaying kindness with enmity.

Such an act, Leng Yu could never bring herself to do.

Her fists clenched, her silence speaking volumes of the inner struggle she was undergoing.

Nangong Yun took two steps closer to her, speaking loudly.

“I will not go with you to Ling Island. If you’re capable, then kill me. I would rather die than live that kind of life!”

Suddenly, she stepped forward, grabbing something from Nangong Xu’s table.

Only when they took a closer look, did they realise she had taken a surgical knife, pressing it against her own throat.

“Miss Nangong!” Leng Yu was taken aback, scared that she might drive the benefactor who saved Mr.

Xiaojiu to her death.

“Miss Nangong, let’s talk it out.

If you saved Mr.

Xiaojiu, then I…then I…”

“What is there to talk about?

You’re pushing me to this point, essentially pushing me to death!”

“All of you people, never appreciating any kindness, you want to drive the benefactor of Mr.

Xiaojiu to death, you…none of you have any humanity!”

Her slender fingers tightened, pressing the blade against her throat.

Blood instantly welled up.

“Miss Nangong…”

“Get away from me!” Nangong Yun took a step forward.

Frightened by her actions, Leng Yu stepped back, motioning for everyone to clear a path.

She stared at Nangong Yun, inhaling deeply.

She struggled for a long while before finally speaking in a low voice.

“Because you saved Mr. Xiaojiu, I am sparing you this time. But if I see you again, I will show no mercy!”

Nangong Yun sneered coldly, waiting for everyone to step aside, before hurling the surgical knife into a tree not far away, and briskly walking away.

Nangong Xu watched her as she escaped.

Until her figure disappeared from his sight, his face remained expressionless, his eyes reflecting complexity.

He had finally committed a wrong act – deceiving everyone for Nangong Yun.

Finally, he had made a mistake.

Having made a mistake, should he not be punished?

But who would punish him?

…

At night, in one of the small rooms in the backyard of the Dongfang Family residence.

Lei Shuo opened the door to the room, allowing Dongfang Jin to enter.

Having been locked up for only a few hours, Lu Xuening seemed even paler than before.

Blood seeped out from the crack in her lips, her eyes were filled with bloodshot veins.

Her heart was filled with hatred.

She hated Baili Xia, she hated how she had ruined everything for her.

She was on the brink of getting engaged to Dongfang Jin and marrying into a prestigious family.

But because of this person who reappeared suddenly, everything was ruined!

She didn’t think she had done anything wrong.

If there was blame to apportion, it was Baili Xia who was at fault!

She should not have returned.

She should not have appeared in her life.

She shouldn’t be fighting with her over a man.

What qualifications does a lowly creature like her have to compete with her?

If given another opportunity, she would definitely kill her!

Seeing Dongfang Jin entering, Lu Xuening immediately stood up, intending to rush to his side.

Lei Shuo stepped in front of Dongfang Jin just in time, blocking Lu Xuening and grabbing her by the shoulder.

A wave of intense pain spread from her shoulders, causing Lu Xuening to gasp for breath.

At this point, Lei Shuo would definitely not be courteous to her.

He couldn’t believe she dared to poison the young master.

What audacity!

If it weren’t for the young master’s presence, he would have torn her apart by now.

Having discovered all the things she had done behind the young master’s back,

Today, even if the young master doesn’t take action, he would absolutely not let her go!
