69: Chapter 69: Taking Revenge for Jian Si 69: Chapter 69: Taking Revenge for Jian Si Lu Youting’s expression was indifferent as he stepped on Liu Tao’s already crippled wrist.
“Ah…”
The piercing pain spread throughout his body from his wrist, causing Liu Tao’s veins to bulge violently.
As if insensible to his agony, Lu Youting’s dress shoe ground down on it heavily, over and over, relentlessly.
Drenched in sweat, Liu Tao cried out in pain, repeatedly begging for rcy, “Ah…
I was wrong, I was wrong…
I didn’t know she was your woman, please Director Lu spare …
I won’t dare to do it again…”
“Who instructed you?”
Lu Youting’s voice was extrely soft, extrely gentle.
As though a breeze, it lightly brushed past Liu Tao’s ear.
Yet Liu Tao felt as if he were in a freezing blizzard, shivering all over.
Daring not to hide anything, he hurriedly said, “It…
it was my godfather who told to do it!”
“Zhao Qingyang?” Lu Youting’s face still showed no ripple, as if he was inquiring about sothing insignificant.
Liu Tao nodded nonstop.
“It was Zhao Qingyang, he is my godfather, he instructed to do it.
He told to arrange for two people to go in and teach Jian Si a lesson, not to kill her, just ruin her face and take half her life.”
“Then, I arranged for Li Juan and Wang Xia to go in.
I didn’t expect them to be so useless, getting scared off by Jian Si in just a mont, so I decided to complete the task myself.”
At this point, Lu Youting increased the pressure of his foot.
“Ah…”
Liu Tao scread miserably but dared not delay, continuing to stamr, “I…
I just wanted to teach her a lesson, but…
but she was too beautiful, and in a mont of lust, I thought of having my way with her before ruining her.
I…
I didn’t know she was Director Lu’s woman, if I had known, even ten lives wouldn’t have been enough to dare to do that!”
Who would have known that Lu Youting’s woman would appear in a detention center.
Such high-profile figures with backgrounds would have soone bail them out almost as soon as they entered a detention center; they never stay long.
After hearing his account, Lu Youting withdrew his foot, tugged at the corner of his mouth; the smile, contrary to the glacial chill in his eyes, was even more penetrating.
“Since this is a troubleso trinket, it should be destroyed to solve your source of disaster.”
His voice was chillingly cold, as if floating out from Hell.
The bone-chilling coldness pierced the skin, invading the marrow.
Liu Tao’s body quivered like a sieve.
Surrounded by unprecedented despair, he disregarded the pain in his wrist, desperately embracing Lu Youting’s legs with his arms begging for rcy, “Director Lu, I really realize my mistake, I won’t dare again, please, spare !
If…
if this thing is gone, what…
what will I do in the future?”
Lu Youting looked at the stain left on his trousers, his phoenix eyes imbued with a dire chill.
The bodyguard, having followed Lu Youting for many years and learned to read his expressions, noticed his displeasure and imdiately dragged Liu Tao away.
Liu Tao continued to howl and beg.
“Director Lu, please spare , I truly know I was wrong…
I won’t dare anymore…
Director Lu…”
Annoyed by his noise, Lu Youting’s cold gaze swept over the bodyguard, “Aren’t you going to do it?”
The bodyguard obeyed the orders, ignoring Liu Tao’s howls and struggles, dragging him into one of the hidden compartnts.
Watching Liu Tao being dragged away, the three on the side were scared stiff, especially the scar-faced woman and the tattooed woman who once thought to harm Jian Si.
The two clung tightly together, quivering uncontrollably.
Soon after, a scream of agony shot through the sky.
“Ah…”
Followed by a silence akin to death.
The thick scent of blood wafted out from the hidden compartnt, assaulting the nerves of the three onlookers.
The fear of death magnified imnsely.
It was as if the next mont they could end up just like Liu Tao.
Struggling to keep his chattering teeth steady, Zhou Feng mustered the courage and asked, “Dire…
Director Lu, I…
I didn’t harm Miss Jian, this matter has nothing to do with , why…
why did you have brought here?”
“Failure to control your subordinates.”
“The brief four words,” he said, “filled Zhou Feng with utter despair.
“He, he is Director Zhao’s godson, just on the books in my departnt for show.
It won’t be long before he gets promoted, I—I dare not discipline him.”
aning he had neither the status nor the courage to manage Liu Tao.
Any mistake Liu Tao made, the responsibility rested on Zhao Qingyang.
The smirk at the corner of Lu Youting’s mouth deepened.
“You knew nothing about this?”
Zhou Feng nodded stiffly, his neck rigid, “I—I really didn’t know.”
Lu Youting took a folder from his bodyguard and threw it in front of him, “This stamp is yours, isn’t it?”
Zhou Feng’s hands trembled as he opened the folder.
To his dismay, it was a disciplinary report concerning Jian Si, detailing malicious revenge resulting in Xu Jiaorong suffering multiple soft tissue injuries and bone fractures.
Her conduct was despicable and warranted severe punishnt.
At the end of the docunt were Zhou Feng’s signature and stamp.
Zhou Feng was so frightened that his gall nearly burst; his face was covered with dense sweat, and his clothes soaked through.
“This—this stamp is mine, and the signature is mine too!
But—the docunt was brought by Liu Tao, I—I just…
I just…”
He found it incredibly hard to continue, unable to finish his sentence.
Lu Youting finished it for him, “You didn’t review it at all, just approved it?”
Although embarrassed, Zhou Feng nodded, his face flushed in the interest of saving his own life.
“Yes!
Even though Liu Tao is my subordinate, I don’t have the authority to control him, so I always just sign and stamp whatever docunt he brings.
I—I thought, if sothing happens, Director Zhao would always take responsibility.”
“If that’s the case, then it’s no injustice!” Lu Youting motioned with a slight flick of his index and middle finger, “Destroy the hand he signed with!”
In an instant, Zhou Feng’s face turned ashen, almost fainting from shock, yet he dared not cry out for help as he watched the bodyguard forcefully break his index and middle finger.
The excruciating pain spread throughout his body from the broken fingers, his complexion terrifyingly pale as if about to pass out any second.
But still, he didn’t dare to cry out, instead he had to express his gratitude to Director Lu, “Th-Thank you Director Lu, for giving another chance!
I—I’ll surely be strict with my subordinates from now on.”
“Take him away.”
With that order from Lu Youting, Zhou Feng was blindfolded and led away.
The mont he stepped out of the basent and breathed the fresh air, he was overco with a sense of rebirth, never before having felt life to be such a luxury.
After dealing with Liu Tao and Zhou Feng, only Li Juan and Wang Xia were left in the basent.
Wang Xia still had gauze wrapped around her lower abdon, her body tense, every movent aggravating the wound, causing her to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.
Lu Youting didn’t imdiately tornt them, casually twirling the Jade Ring on his thumb, his cold gaze unblinkingly fixed on them.
Wang Xia and Li Juan felt like convicts awaiting their death sentence, with a despair so deep it seed to cut them bit by bit.
Ti trickled by slowly.
Wang Xia and Li Juan could only see darkness ahead, unable to envision a path to survival.
Just as they were about to break down from the strain, Lu Youting finally spoke, “I, Lu Youting, have never stooped to laying hands on won.”
Upon hearing this, a glint of joy appeared on their faces as they breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, Lu Youting’s tone shifted abruptly, “However, to let you go just like that would leave dissatisfied.”
The flicker of hope that had just ignited in Wang Xia and Li Juan was extinguished once more.
Again, Lu Youting’s tone changed, offering them hope anew, “Still, there is a way for to spare you.”
Without hesitation, Wang Xia and Li Juan eagerly asked, “Whatever it takes to spare us, we’ll do anything.”
Lu Youting’s eyebrows lifted, his question bearing a semblance of a smile, “Really, anything?”
Wang Xia and Li Juan nodded fervently, fervently promising, “Yes, anything!”
Lu Youting’s smile broadened wickedly, although the mirth didn’t reach his eyes.
Instead, it sent a chilling shiver down one’s spine.
