Chapter 61: Let Me Teach You Today What Separates Humans From Beasts
A short sentence revealed a key piece of information.
Huo Chengxuan came from a prominent family background.
This kind of casual injuring of people while still being able to dodge the spotlight was enough to prove the Huo Family’s prestigious status.
From his contemptuous words, Jiang Ning understood that the Jiang Family couldn’t even match the Huo Family, so they had brazenly kidnapped Jiang Yan because he had backing.
Jiang Ning silently searched her mind for useful news.
If it had to be one family, the Capital Circle’s Huo Family dominated all three paths, with connections everywhere, so it made sense that they could protect a lawless Huo Chengxuan and let him come to Jin Cheng to harm people here.
[Ahhhh!] Little Honey suddenly popped up: [Host, run fast, this thing is a Super Male!]
Super Male?
[He should appear in the mid-stage plot after you log off, because he takes a liking to the Female Lead who just entered university, pursues her crazily, and has a bloodthirsty violent tendency, doing many bad things to the Female Lead. During this period, the Female Lead gets saved alternately by the Second Male Lead and the Male Lead. He’s the mid-stage BOSS of this book! How did you run into him now?]
Little Honey was stunned.
In the early stage of this book, at least on Jiang Ning’s campus line, it was impossible to encounter him.
Little Honey hurriedly advised: [Host, this person is very dangerous. Don’t clash with him head-on, you’ll suffer. Find a method to leave here first. As for your younger brother… he should be fine, it’s not yet his time to die.]
Jiang Ning didn’t listen to Little Honey and leave. From the moment she entered, leaving would require Huo Chengxuan’s permission, but this person clearly saw her as prey. She watched Huo Chengxuan’s eyes gradually deepen.
Heh, interesting.
Super Male, huh?
This was truly the first time Jiang Ning had encountered one.
No wonder he was somewhat ugly.
Jiang Ning gave him a smile: “Now that you’ve seen me, can you let him go?”
Jiang Ning glanced at Chen Shuyan, who was shrunk in the corner with an unbearable face, and said slowly: “Although I don’t like her, I dislike men who only hit women even more.”
Huo Chengxuan sneered disdainfully: “And what can you do about it?”
His eyes disdainfully turned to Chen Shuyan, his patience at the bottom: “Since Jiang Ning is here, you’re useless. Get out quick. I really want to break her other leg.”
Chen Shuyan tremblingly got up, not caring about the pain in her body, tears streaming nonstop.
“Chen Shuyan.” Jiang Ning spoke, her voice very cold.
Chen Shuyan stopped at the entrance.
Jiang Ning continued: “Once you step out this door, our friendship ends. Don’t come find me again in the future. I’ve already done all I could for you and have no regrets.”
Chen Shuyan with red-rimmed eyes: “Sorry, Ning Ning, sorry… I don’t want to die, sorry… Forgive me… Young Master Huo is not someone I can afford to provoke.”
With that, she fled like she was escaping.
Everyone has the instinct to survive.
Jiang Ning understood.
But someone like Chen Shuyan wasn’t suited to be a friend. She was tired of dealing with her, and this was a good opportunity to cut ties.
“Hahaha, you’re such a failure at being human. No one truly cares for you. Isn’t it because you’re too bad?” Huo Chengxuan pointed at her laughing, stabbing the dagger in his hand fiercely into the sofa up and down. Soon, he violently tore a big gash in the sofa.
Feathers from the high-end sofa flew out, floating everywhere.
A Super Male was just like him: violent, bloodthirsty, impatient, with big mood swings, most liking to punish those who defied him.
“I’m bad? Compared to me, aren’t you a devil?”
“Devil?” Huo Chengxuan grinned: “Lots of people say that about me, but they can’t take me down. I have my brother. He’ll handle everything for me. That means, even if I kill you here, I won’t get in trouble.”
Because there were plenty of people to take the blame for him.
“When will you let him go?” Jiang Ning pointed at Jiang Yan in the corner.
Too lazy to waste words with him.
“Let him go? I didn’t agree to that. Because I thought of a fun game.” Huo Chengxuan threw the dagger on the ground, grinning widely: “I heard you’re the most favored daughter of the Jiang Family. I originally wanted to avenge that bitch, but your personality really suits my taste. Bad people should stay with devils. See this dagger? Dig out your younger brother’s eyes, and I’ll let you go, approve you as my kind.”
Jiang Ning picked up the dagger, which reflected her blurry face. She scoffed: “What makes humans human is accepting education, knowing what can and can’t be done. Most importantly, humanity. Not yet at the level of brutal bloodthirstiness, indiscriminately wanting to hurt people—what difference is there from beasts?”
She looked up, eyes straight at him: “And you are exactly that kind of beast. I can’t be the same kind as trash like you, because I have humanity.”
These two short sentences instantly enraged Huo Chengxuan.
He exaggeratedly pounded the sofa, fiercely ordering the thugs at the entrance: “Kill her for me! She called me names. Go die, bitch, just like that woman, cheap.”
The two thugs stepped forward.
Trying to pin Jiang Ning down with their height advantage.
Jiang Ning gripped the knife in her right hand, swiftly stabbing into one man’s shoulder and pushing him away.
The scene instantly became chaotic.
In this environment, Jiang Yan faintly opened his eyes.
He felt his whole body burning hot, head groggy, exhaled air scorching, vision blurry.
He struggled to lift his eyes to look.
He seemed to see Jiang Ning… his older sister…
A hallucination, probably…
His head hurt badly, and Jiang Yan passed out again.
After dealing with the two thugs, red began to seep from the gauze on Jiang Ning’s left hand.
The wound had split open.
She lunged at Huo Chengxuan.
“Today I’ll teach you what the difference is between humans and beasts.”
Her movements were fast, accurate, and ruthless, not giving him a chance to react. Under Huo Chengxuan’s panicked expression, she stabbed right through his palm.
Hearing his miserable scream, Jiang Ning smiled: “I told you you’d regret calling me here, but you wouldn’t believe it.”
Jiang Ning wanted to land another stab when the compartment door was pushed open.
A woman wearing a mask and black coat hurried in, voice trembling: “Stop!”
She tightly hugged Jiang Ning’s waist, pulling her back: “Go quick, don’t hurt him, there’ll be trouble.”
Jiang Ning frowned.
Over there, Huo Chengxuan grabbed a wine bottle and smashed it toward Jiang Ning’s head.
The woman quickly pushed Jiang Ning away and took the blow herself. Blood instantly oozed from her forehead.
But she still frantically hugged Huo Chengxuan.
She shouted toward Jiang Ning: “Go quick!”
“Bitch bitch bitch! Let go of me, I want to kill her, bitch, let go!” Huo Chengxuan’s eyes bloodshot, fists crazily landing on the woman’s head and body, eyes bulging as he glared deadly at Jiang Ning.
But Jiang Ning met the woman’s tearful eyes, very beautiful with sorrowful emotion, as if she had a thousand words to say, ultimately turning into a hoarse scream: “Go! Go!”
Jiang Ning gritted her teeth, carried Jiang Yan on her back, and left this place of trouble.
Blood dripped from her arm. She forcibly placed Jiang Yan in a safe place, touched his forehead—scalding hot.
There was a pharmacy not far away. Jiang Ning wanted to stop her own bleeding first, afraid she’d croak from excessive blood loss, then immediately take Jiang Yan to the hospital.
She patted his face, trying to give him some awareness: “Wait for me a few minutes, I’ll be right back.”
With that, Jiang Ning jogged into the nearby pharmacy to buy gauze to wrap up, then go to the hospital to handle everything together.
At this time, Su Wanyuan unwillingly carrying a lunchbox arrived at Zero Degree.
Because Gu Lanli wanted to eat the food she made and forced her to deliver it, threatening that if she didn’t, he’d find people to beat Xie Jingyan tomorrow. For Xie Jingyan’s safety, she could only humiliatingly comply. And Gu Lanli was currently waiting for her in a compartment at Zero Degree.
Su Wanyuan’s gaze turned to a very remote dark place, spotting someone leaning there.
Jiang Yan?!
She hurriedly ran over and found him covered in blood, body frighteningly hot.
Panicking, she shook him awake: “A Yan, wake up, why are you here?”
Jiang Yan frowned, painfully opening his eyes, voice dazed: “Wanyuan? You saved me?”
Su Wanyuan was somewhat baffled, but she was indeed the first to see Jiang Yan, so she nodded: “It’s me!”
Seeing no one around, she ignored delivering the food and hurriedly helped him up: “Hold on, I’ll take you to the hospital right away!”
