Chapter 621: Chapter 229: "Haunted" (2)
Right in front of Xu Su Ying, the two of them engaged in a fierce brawl. Watching them fight brought her a profound sense of satisfaction. If possible, she would have liked to keep watching. After all, she absolutely loved seeing a dog-eat-dog situation. But it was impossible; she couldn’t hold on any longer. The rope hanging from the roof dug painfully into her waist, and the howling cold wind from outside made her shiver all over.
Just as Xu Su Ying was about to call for Chen Song to let her down, she opened her mouth and let out a violent sneeze. "ACHOO!"
That was only the first. Soon after, she sneezed a second and then a third time. After those three sneezes, she felt completely refreshed. She rubbed her nose and looked down at the two people who had stopped fighting and were now staring at her like a pair of idiots. Waving at them good-naturedly, she said, "Don’t stop! It’s such a good show, and I was just getting into it. You two, keep fighting."
"Xu, Xu Su Ying, a-are you human? You’re still alive?"
The voice belonged to Yan Cheng. After saying this, as if unable to bear the truth, he instantly lost all his strength. His legs gave way, and he slumped to the ground with a THUD. The floor was covered in shattered porcelain. The sharp fragments pierced through his clothes and dug into his skin, but he acted as if he couldn’t feel the pain. Letting his blood gush out, he stared blankly at Xu Su Ying suspended in mid-air, asking foolishly as if his soul had left his body, "Are... are you a real person? You’re still alive?"
Xu Su Ying explained to him with a good temper, "That’s right, still alive. I’m living incredibly well. Chen Song, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and put me down! My waist is about to snap."
As Chen Song lowered Xu Su Ying, Third Ms. Bai picked up a shard of porcelain from the floor, ready to rush over and stab her. But she never got the chance. Right at that moment, the door was kicked open with a loud BANG.
A cloud of dust billowed into the air as Xu Shiling strode in from outside. Spotting the gleaming porcelain shard in Third Ms. Bai’s hand, he delivered a swift kick. Third Ms. Bai let out a wail as she crashed onto the floor along with the shattered piece.
"You venomous woman! After all these years, you still haven’t changed your deadly ways!" Leaving her with that remark, Xu Shiling ignored Third Ms. Bai and took two steps forward to stand in front of Yan Cheng. "Playing dumb, huh? Knowing how to swim, huh? You’ve gotten addicted to playing the devoted lover all these years, haven’t you? You piece of trash! If I don’t beat your head into your stomach today, I’ll take your—"
"Don’t, don’t, don’t!" Xu Su Ying ran over in quick strides. "Shiling, absolutely do not swear to take his family name! Look at his family’s status, and look at ours. Taking his name would only bring him honor. Is Court Chengyi Mansion even worthy?"
Yan Cheng stared at her, completely dazed. "Suying, Suying..."
Xu Su Ying raised her leg and delivered a vicious kick. Pointing at his nose, she cursed, "You piece of trash, who gave you the right to say my name? A dung beetle doesn’t know it stinks, and a bastard doesn’t know he’s ugly. Being blind enough to get engaged to you all those years ago really gave you confidence, didn’t it? Take a good look at what kind of garbage you are. Don’t act like a big bad wolf in front of me. Go to hell!"
She rained punches down on his head and face, then followed up with a few brutal kicks, finally feeling a sense of relief in her heart. This beating was for the original Xu Su Ying, and it was also for herself. She was Xu Su Ying; she had just hit her head and lost her memory. Yes, she still had to settle the score for her amnesia! Just thinking about it annoyed her, and she felt the need to hit him a few more times to fully vent her anger.
Chen Song had unknowingly appeared behind Xu Su Ying. Taking advantage of the distraction, he also landed a few ruthless blows on Yan Cheng. Noticing this, Yan Cheng looked up at him. Chen Song let out a cold sneer and, right in front of Yan Cheng, wrapped one hand around Xu Su Ying’s waist and placed the other on her shoulder.
"Alright, take a rest. Does your waist not hurt anymore?"
"Chen Song, let go of me! Watch me smash his head open."
"Shiling can do that for you. Just take a rest and stand aside to enjoy the show."
As they were talking, the constables all filed in. Even after entering, they didn’t dare to intervene. The group of men just stood there rigidly like wooden stumps. Among them were some older constables who had actually taken part in the search for Xu Su Ying in the early years. They had searched everywhere, turning over every possible location in the surrounding areas, but had come up empty-handed. The devastation and heart-wrenching agony the Xu Family experienced was beyond words.
Who could have imagined that Miss Xu, who had been missing for twenty years, would one day make such a triumphant return? She was truly a capable one. A cold case that hadn’t been solved for years was cracked the moment she came back. She hadn’t even entered Capital City yet, but she had already found the real culprit who harmed her. Furthermore, with so many eyewitnesses present, it would be utterly useless for Third Ms. Bai to try playing the fool later on.
