A slap and a kick

Su Xi lay on the floor, struggling to get up.

Her wheelchair had fallen to one side.

She had seen the danger outside, but the door had been shut, leaving her brother outside.

She had immediately grown anxious to open the door.

She had even gotten into a struggle with the two women.

But with her disability limiting her movements, she had been pushed to the floor.

Fan Hui stood over Su Xi, who had fallen to the floor, and raised a hand to hit her.

She was still cursing.

"You little bitch, are you trying to get us killed?"

Gao Yue, meanwhile, was holding back Yang Defa's mother.

Yang Defa's mother had just brought the glutinous rice downstairs when she saw that her family had been shut outside.

Su Xi was being bullied, too.

She had wanted to help.

The cloth bag of glutinous rice she had brought down had been knocked to the floor, spilling rice everywhere.

The door suddenly opened.

Light streamed inside.

"Just try laying a hand on her!"

Su Chen held the butcher knife, glaring fiercely at Fan Hui.

There was still blood on the blade.

At a glance.

He looked like a god of slaughter.

Beside him.

Yang Defa and Wang Xiumei immediately picked Su Xi up.

Su Chen's appearance made Gao Yue and Fan Hui stop.

They were scared!

"Su Chen, there's a police officer here. Don't do anything reckless."

The sight of Su Chen holding a knife frightened Gao Yue.

Fan Hui's eyes darted away.

She backed away step by step.

Finally, she fell onto her backside.

"Officer Huang!"

Fan Hui suddenly saw Huang Wei approaching and immediately cried out.

"Su Chen!"

It was Su Xi's first time seeing her brother look so frightening. She called out, "I'm fine."

Seeing the police officer, Su Xi worried about her brother.

Su Chen switched the knife to his left hand.

He strode up to Fan Hui and slapped her hard with his left hand.

"You dare hit me!"

Fan Hui was about to fly into a rage.

But Su Chen planted his foot directly on her face, blocking her mouth.

He ground his sole back and forth.

"If you want to die, I can grant your wish!"

Su Chen spoke each word distinctly.

He had truly wanted to kill her just now.

If he had not been afraid of frightening his sister, he would have chopped up the old woman already.

"Su Chen, that's enough."

Huang Wei spoke up to stop Su Chen.

He was a police officer!

Although he also felt disgust toward Fan Hui and Gao Yue, he still thought killing them would be going too far.

A beating was enough.

Despite the attempt to talk him down, Su Chen still pressed the butcher knife against Fan Hui's neck.

He threatened, "If there's a next time, your head won't stay on your neck."

The butcher knife was sharp.

It left a bloody line on Fan Hui's neck.

After threatening her, Su Chen went to his sister's side and asked, "Su Xi, are you hurt?"

"I'm fine!"

"Are you all right too, Su Chen?"

Su Xi raised a hand to touch and check him, seemingly afraid that he was injured.

"I'm fine."

Su Chen shook his head and put the butcher knife behind his back.

"That's... good!"

But as soon as Su Xi finished speaking, she fainted in her wheelchair.

"Su Xi!"

Su Chen instantly grew anxious.

He thought Fan Hui had injured Su Xi just now.

At that, he switched the knife back to his right hand and began looking for Fan Hui.

Fan Hui had only just shakily climbed to her feet and stolen a resentful glance at Su Chen.

Now, seeing Su Chen about to approach with the knife again, she was scared out of her wits.

She edged over to Gao Yue, wanting Gao Yue to take the blade for her.

But Gao Yue moved farther away from Fan Hui, afraid of getting caught up in it.

"She wanted to open the door, so I... only pushed the wheelchair."

Fan Hui wanted to say more.

"Why haven't you two gotten the hell out of my house yet?"

Old Yang began driving them out.

They had originally been guests.

But.

What they had done by shutting the door just now showed that neither had any decency.

They no longer counted as guests.

And now, the young girl Su Xi had been hurt.

"Fine, we'll leave."

Muttering, Fan Hui immediately pulled Gao Yue outside.

Gao Yue hesitated to speak.

She wanted to say a few words in her defense.

But Su Chen was about to use his knife, so she could only flee in panic.

Old Yang handed Su Chen a strip of cloth greased with lard.

It was used to wrap the butcher knife.

Su Chen wrapped the knife and tucked it at his waist.

Then.

He held his hand beneath his sister's nose to check her breathing.

It was fairly normal.

He then took Su Xi's right hand and felt her pulse.

That was normal, too.

So she wasn't injured?

Su Chen checked Su Xi's forehead and elsewhere.

She had not hit anything, either.

After checking her over, Su Chen still could not find the reason she had fainted.

Right!

The Intelligence System!

Su Chen remembered that his Intelligence System could examine her.

He began focusing his attention on Su Xi.

It was a last-ditch attempt.

His sudden idea actually worked.

[Sequence awakening in progress...]

(Note: A Sequence is the awakening of a special innate ability. Using the ability requires paying a certain price.)

A Sequence?

A price?

Su Chen looked at his sister, frowning slightly.

He did not care about the slight increase in strength that came with obtaining a Sequence.

All he could think about was the price of becoming stronger.

He could not help worrying.

Could he only wait until she awakened and see then?

"Is everything all right?"

Seeing Su Chen lost in thought, Yang Defa asked with concern.

"She's fine now."

Su Chen shook his head and picked Su Xi up. "I'll take Su Xi back to the truck."

To one side.

Yang Defa's mother suggested, "Su Chen, why don't I make up a bed for you two? Sleep here."

She wanted the two of them to sleep more comfortably.

"No, I wouldn't feel at ease unless we slept in the truck."

Thinking of the two bastards outside, Su Chen wanted to stay on his guard.

He was also afraid that sleeping too comfortably in a bed would make him miss the time.

"Ah!"

Old Yang sighed.

Everything had been fine.

Who could have imagined something like this happening, with Su Xi fainting?

He wanted to beat those two bitches himself.

After returning to the car, Gao Yue could not calm down.

She had still been clinging to hope before.

But someone who had been dead during the day had stood up at night.

She had truly been frightened.

In her confusion, she had shut the door with Fan Hui.

Now she was in an awkward position.

She wanted to drive away, but she was afraid of unclean things in the dead of night.

Changcheng seemed to be gone.

There was nowhere to go, either.

She would wait for Officer Huang and see what the arrangements were tomorrow.

Inside the car, Fan Hui stayed quiet for two seconds before feeling the cut on her neck.

Then she put her hand on her stomach.

"Good thing I had a few bites earlier, or I'd really be starving to death."

Fan Hui rubbed her stomach, quite satisfied.

After shutting the door earlier, she had hurried to grab a few bites of the food.

If Su Xi had not tried to open the door, she could have eaten more.

"..."

Her thoughts interrupted, Gao Yue looked up at Fan Hui.

She had eaten some earlier too, and did not quite know what to say.

Fan Hui grew even more animated, muttering loudly, "What's he so full of himself for? He took my fridge and air conditioner. What's he acting so high and mighty for?"

"That refrigerated truck isn't yours, either."

"Gao Yue, why don't we take that refrigerated truck and leave?"

Fan Hui's eyes darted around as she began hatching a crooked scheme.

Su Chen made a trip to the supermarket.

There should be plenty of good stuff in the refrigerated truck.

Finding her chatter irritating, Gao Yue rolled her eyes at Fan Hui and whispered, "Keep it down!"

Fan Hui was about to say more when she saw Su Chen come out carrying his younger sister.

That gave her a fright!

She immediately fell silent.

Su Chen cast a dark look at the vehicle, seemingly having heard what she had said.
