Chapter 907: Chapter 906: The Most Honorable Man
Xiao Qimo’s identity wasn’t hard to guess; Li Aiqi was now one hundred percent certain.
But she didn’t dare shout, didn’t dare scream, and even her breathing was cautious and careful.
When it ca to aura, no one could overpower Master Mo. Since Master Mo didn’t permit her to speak, she didn’t dare make a sound.
However, another shocking realization now dawned on her.
Lu Mian’s boyfriend turned out to be the legendary, terrifying Master Mo!
What kind of concept is this?
It ant that Lu Mian had already sided with the Xiao Family, the leader of the supre clans!
When people like Lu Xinnuan and Xue Lu were still bending over backwards trying to expand their diocre network connections, Lu Mian had already reached the summit.
She had learned too many secrets today.
Fear began to creep in deeper.
Could she even walk out of this private room alive?
Lu Xinnuan had no idea about the twists and turns running through Li Aiqi’s mind. She only knew that after Lu Mian left, another “Director Qi” arrived to settle accounts with them.
Settle what accounts? What even was there to settle?
Did anything he said bring any tangible harm to Lu Mian?
Lu Xinnuan’s face turned dark and twisted as she glared at Xiao Qimo, who was leisurely cleaning his glasses. “Director Qi, all this evidence wouldn’t hold up in court. In the end, isn’t this all just Lu Mian’s way of retaliating against us?”
Talking about the law?
The refined man lowered his lush, handso lashes, finding those three words amusing. If they were truly to talk about the law, who knows how many tis Lu Xinnuan had already defad Lu Mian?
He didn’t respond to Lu Xinnuan, only coughing lightly—a quiet but commanding sound.
In the silent private room, the red wooden door suddenly swung open with force, pushed by several n dressed in black.
Altogether six n in black strode in, as if descending from the heavens, lining up in a formation and awaiting their master’s orders.
Xiao Qimo frowned slightly.
With his sharp and imposing gaze unobstructed by the absence of glasses, his aura beca even more cutting.
“Gentler.” He cast his eyes downward and scolded disapprovingly, “What if the door got damaged?!”
The leading man, Mo Fan: …Wasn’t it always like this?
The leading woman, Mo Si: …Wow, when it cos to his wife’s belongings, he’s really sothing else. *lemon emoji*
Despite their silent complaints, Mo Fan and Mo Si were professionally trained and executed their stance with impeccable composure.
Xiao Qimo issued a simple, calm order—just two words.
“Slap her.”
Straightforward and brutal.
Lu Xinnuan shuddered all of a sudden, instinctively backing several steps and hiding behind Fu Man.
Fu Man and Lu Zhizhai slowly got to their feet. Confronted with this overwhelming, god-slaying presence, they were frightened beyond words. Never in their lives had they encountered such a scene; fear crept into their hearts, stripping them of any notion of protecting Lu Xinnuan.
While they hesitated, one of the n in black had already moved to Lu Xinnuan’s side in the blink of an eye.
“You, what are you…”
Before Lu Xinnuan could finish her sentence, the man grabbed her collar, his movents decisive. He raised his hand and delivered a harsh slap to her face.
Smack!
“Aah—”
Lu Xinnuan let out a piercing scream. She was stunned and dazed by the assault.
Compared to the previous slap from Lu Zhizhai, which had held back significantly, this ti the trained man’s hand hit her full force. Half of her face instantly swelled up, creating a distinctly asymtrical look.
Mo Si helpfully reminded, “Master Mo has OCD.”
The man in black understood imdiately and delivered another firm slap to the other side of Lu Xinnuan’s face.
“Aah—”
The swelling wasn’t yet symtrical, so he kept going.
“Aaaah—”
With her collar firmly in the man’s grasp, Lu Xinnuan’s mind was completely blank. Beyond the stinging, burning pain on her face, she couldn’t register anything else.
The sound of her screams grew louder with each strike.
Fu Man was paralyzed from fear, instinctively bending her knees and pleading desperately.
“Mr. Xiao, you’re Mianmian’s boyfriend. For her sake, could you let us leave quietly? I beg of you…”
Perhaps sensing the imminent danger, the life-threatening tension ignited Fu Man’s survival instincts, driving her to grovel for rcy.
But the ntion of Lu Mian seed to stab at Lu Xinnuan’s sensitive nerves.
She snapped out of her pain-fueled stupor and bellowed hoarsely, “Mom, have so backbone! My teacher, Pu Jing, is backed by a first-tier family. In Jinjing, there aren’t many who dare provoke my teacher!”
This was Lu Xinnuan’s final card, the big banner she was raising to scare others into submission.
“A re calligraphy and painting master’s grandson, daring to stand against a first-tier family? I want to see how that little b*tch Lu Mian plans to clean up this ss!”
re… calligraphy and painting master?
Little b*tch?
Hearing Lu Xinnuan’s words, Xiao Qimo’s eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent. Quietly, he morized Pu Jing’s na.
Last night, one of the people who falsely accused Lu Mian of plagiarizing Mi Lu’s work was also Pu Jing.
As for the insults spewing from her mouth…
Mo Si cast a sympathetic glance toward Lu Xinnuan.
Damn! Damn! Holy sh*t, did she really just climb straight onto the razor’s edge and start dancing?
“Apologies, but just recently, Master Mo dealt with two first-tier families: the Shen Family and the Sheng Family.” Mo Si sneered.
Even without Xiao Qimo giving further instructions, the man in black applied more force.
Insulting Master Mo’s grandfather and wife—was she tired of living?!
No need for further argunt—just keep hitting her.
In the private room, only the sound of slaps echoed, accompanied by Lu Xinnuan’s anguished screams and curses.
“How dare you! How dare—argh!”
Fu Man and Lu Zhizhai were powerless. Bruised and battered emotionally, they lacked both the ans and the will to shield their youngest daughter any further.
Li Aiqi, Xue Lu, and the others all crouched silently in the corner.
Watching the bloodied and swollen face of Lu Xinnuan, Li Aiqi couldn’t help but feel pity. She kept signaling to her with her eyes, trying to tell her to back down and stop digging her own grave.
But Lu Xinnuan believed she had nothing left to lose. If worse ca to worst, it was just her life.
Besides, they wouldn’t actually dare to kill her!
“Go ahead, beat to death! Aiqi, Lulu, record this with your phones. Let everyone see how Xiao Jianli’s grandson abuses his power, and expose what a cocky b*tch Lu Mian really is behind the scenes!”
The sudden na-drop startled Li Aiqi so much that she collapsed to the floor, hastily looking at Xiao Qimo with pleading eyes.
“Master Mo, I didn’t do anything! This has nothing to do with !”
Xue Lu, on the other hand, sympathized with Lu Xinnuan, tugging on Li Aiqi’s arm. “Xinnuan is about to be beaten to death…”
Li Aiqi shoved Xue Lu’s hand away forcefully and turned toward Lu Xinnuan, yelling, “Lu Xinnuan, look carefully! The man sitting in front of you, Master Mo, cos from the Xiao Family—the leader of Jinjing’s supre clans! He’s the most noble man in all of Z Country!”
“…What?”
Perhaps her mind had been battered into disarray, or perhaps she was simply too stunned to process everything. Upon hearing this, Lu Xinnuan stopped reacting altogether, forgetting even to fight back.
Only six words echoed in her mind: the most noble man.
