No One Can Atone for Her; the Whole Family Will Pay

Li Jiulong stared at Master Tian in bewilderment and cried, "Brother-in-law, weren't you here to stand up for me? You-you can't do this..."

Yang Tianba swung his dragon-headed cane hard into Li Jiulong and cursed, "Brother-in-law, my fucking ass! Don't call me that. Call me brother-in-law again, and I'll divorce your sister when I get home..."

"If you want to die in the future, don't fucking drag me down with you!" Yang Tianba flew into a rage on the spot.

Everyone at the school was stunned. Master Tian had actually called Lu Yuan Master Lu?

And judging by his reaction, Master Tian even seemed a little afraid of Lu Yuan?

Heavens! Who on earth was Lu Yuan?! Even Master Tian didn't dare act up in front of him?

Lu Yuan said to a student, "Go get all the bosses from every grade in your school down here. Tell them Master Tian wants them."

The student glanced at Master Tian, who nodded to him. The student then went upstairs to fetch them.

Today, Lu Yuan would kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, so the other students at his sister Lu Shishi's school would never dare bully her at will again.

Before long, quite a few boys and girls had gathered on the playground.

Lu Yuan swung his baseball bat straight into Xu Bing's and Gu Xixia's legs. Bones cracked, and both collapsed to the ground in utter misery.

Lu Yuan's icy gaze swept over everyone. "From now on, whoever bullies my sister will end up just like this, every last one of you!"

Everyone who met Lu Yuan's gaze saw a trace of killing intent deep in his eyes, and the students' hearts trembled with fear.

Master Tian chimed in from the side, "Mr. Lu is my honored guest. If any of you don't take his words seriously, I, Yang Tianba, will personally come have a chat with you."

Lu Yuan looked at Xu Bing and Gu Xixia, his fists creaking as he clenched them. "I heard you wanted to make my sister drink urine, and find men to violate her? You even wanted to disfigure her, right?"

Gu Xixia and Xu Bing kept their heads down and didn't dare speak.

Lu Yuan's face grew increasingly dark, and he instructed Master Tian, "Master Tian! Since they like tormenting people so much, why not take them to your bars and nightclubs and let them experience every step themselves? Let them have a really good time."

Gu Xixia and Xu Bing's faces turned deathly pale.

Gu Xixia's parents were unwilling to accept it. "Lu Yuan, don't go too far. Our family has business dealings with Young Master Cong's family. If you treat our Xixia like this, watch out, or Young Master Cong won't let you off."

Just as Gu Xixia's parents finished speaking, a supercar drove in. Young Master Cong was at the wheel, and he looked coldly at Gu Xixia's family. "Your family's construction contracts are completely canceled, starting today!"

"Why?" Gu Xixia's parents were utterly unwilling to accept it.

Young Master Cong sneered and patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder. "Lu Yuan is an honored guest of my family. Your daughter dared to hit the sister of an honored guest of the Wang Family. That alone is enough to end our cooperation."

With one hand in his pocket, Lu Yuan looked at Gu Xixia's family with amusement. "Looks like your trump card is worthless. Do you have any others?"

Before coming, Lu Yuan had investigated Gu Xixia's family business. Her father was a contractor who specialized in signing construction contracts with real estate developers.

That was why Lu Yuan had made a point of calling Young Master Cong before coming.

Gu Xixia's family was dumbfounded and cried bitterly, "Young Master Cong, our buildings are only half finished. We've already paid the workers a lot of money in advance, and we still owe the bank loans. If you suddenly cancel our cooperation, how is our family supposed to live..."

Young Master Cong's expression was anything but pleasant. "Who told your fucking idiot of a daughter to offend my Brother Lu? She offended Brother Lu, so your whole family deserves this!"

Only now did Gu Xixia's family realize how terrifying Lu Yuan was. The middle-aged woman swung her hand and slapped her daughter Gu Xixia across the face, bringing tears to her eyes. "Why the fuck did you have to go provoking Lu Shishi's brother? Is he someone you can afford to offend? Now look what you've done. We're finished, our whole family is finished..."

"How am I supposed to pay back all those bank loans? How is this family supposed to get by from now on...?" Gu Xixia's mother wept, tears and snot streaming down her face.

Her father's knees gave out, and he knelt at Lu Yuan's feet. "Shishi's brother, I'm on my knees before you. If you're still angry, beat me to vent it. I'll atone for Xixia. Please, I'm begging you, put in a good word for me with Young Master Cong..."

Lu Yuan was about to speak when Qiu Qianqian shook her head and said to him, "Brother Lu, he doesn't deserve pity. When they were hitting Shishi just now, he told them to beat her to death. He even said his family had plenty of money and could afford to pay compensation!"

Hearing that, Lu Yuan sent Gu Xixia's father flying with a kick and cursed, "Fuck you! Get out of my sight. Don't you have plenty of money? Then take your time paying back the loans. If you can't pay them back, you can rot in prison!"

"Someone has to pay for what your daughter Gu Xixia did. I'm going after your family's business, and I'll deal with your daughter Gu Xixia all the same. No one can atone for her." After crossing his sister, they still wanted to settle things peacefully?

Seeing this, Gu Xixia hurried a few steps forward and grabbed Lu Yuan's arm. "Boo-hoo, I was wrong. I shouldn't have hit your sister. Lu Yuan, punishment shouldn't extend to parents. Take it all out on me, but leave my parents alone, please..."

Lu Yuan was unmoved. "Your parents aren't good people either. They deserve what's coming to them."

If he hadn't known that Gu Xixia's parents had told people to beat his sister to death, Lu Yuan might have considered sparing them. But now that he knew, sorry, Lu Yuan wouldn't leave them the slightest way out.

Gu Xixia's parents looked utterly ashen, their eyes vacant and lifeless, filled with dead despair, as well as endless resentment and anger toward their daughter.

The family of three should have been thriving in Magic City on contracts for Young Master Cong's family's real estate projects, living better than most. But a single thought from Gu Xixia had left their family in pieces.

Lu Yuan turned to look at Xu Bing. "You're Xu Bing, right? You're the one who fucking called Gu Xixia over to hit my sister?"

Lu Yuan pulled a belt from Li Jiulong's hand and whipped it viciously across Xu Bing's face, leaving her face covered in blood.

Xu Bing felt wave after wave of searing pain, until her face went numb from the blows. She clutched her face tightly, but the price of covering it with her hands was that they too were whipped swollen.

After beating Xu Bing, Lu Yuan suddenly said, "If I remember right, your family is in the moneylending business, aren't they?"

Remembering how Young Master Cong had just dealt with Gu Xixia's family, Xu Bing was immediately terrified. She stared blankly at Lu Yuan. "Wh-what are you going to do?"

"Nothing much. You hit my sister, so I'll cut off your family's livelihood!" Lu Yuan's face was ruthless.

Lu Yuan turned to Yang Tianba, who stood nearby. "Master Tian, you know what to do, right?"
