Chapter 293: Chapter 293: Wow! Absolute Shark!

Mu Suyu’s face already bore scars from being struck with a cane, and Lu Xining’s slap had just made her cheek twist out of shape.

The grains of salt that clung to the wound stung mercilessly as she felt her face blaze as if held over a fire, but Lu Xining’s slaps did not cease.

“The slap just now was for Jing Zheng’s suffering, and this one is for the ordeal that Jing Zheng’s mother went through.”

“Now this one is for Fu Junhang…”

“And for his mother…”

Lu Xining stopped only when her arm began to ache.

All in all, there must have been dozens of salt-laden slaps.

Yet she felt it still wasn’t enough!

Jing Zheng’s mother’s life, Fu Junhang’s mother’s life, all were lost because of the woman before her.

Just as she was preparing to switch hands and continue, He Lele walked over.

She had someone bring over a horsewhip which she then soaked in a bucket of saltwater, her gaze fierce and unyielding as she looked at Mu Suyu.

“Do you know who your son left disabled in that accident?”

“He was the man I loved most in my life!”

“You all destroyed him! People like you deserve to go to hell! I will beat you to death!”

Before He Lele could start lashing out with the whip, Fu Junhang had already pulled Lu Xining to safety.

He called for water to be brought over and personally washed Lu Xining’s hands.

It wasn’t until the water-bearer approached that Fu Junhang realized it was actually Zhou Jiawang, who had not yet left.

Zhou Jiawang directly said, “Wash your hands first, don’t let the salt infiltrate any cuts.”

What he didn’t mention was that he had stopped the officials from intervening.

The leaders at the television station, many of whom were sponsored and promoted with the Zhou Family’s money, understood what could be said and what couldn’t.

Today, no matter how severe the actions Lu Xining and her group had taken against Mu Suyu and the others, the assault would not be exposed.

Fu Junhang wasn’t concerned with why Zhou Jiawang was still around, he quickly submerged Lu Xining’s hands in the clear water to wash them.

As he washed, he complained, “Sister Ning, don’t you know that force is reciprocal?”

“Why not learn from He Lele and lash with a saltwater-soaked whip? If that’s not enough, I’ll give you a wooden stick.”

“Why damage your own hands? Look, the palms are swollen.”

Mu Suyu’s face had completely swollen into a pig’s head, and her white suit had been torn by He Lele’s whipping.

Lu Xining spoke softly, “You and Jing Yi call me sister, so I had to make her feel the power of you siblings with my own hands, right?”

“Monkey, I’ve never thought that letting go of hatred was a way to liberate oneself. Scars don’t simply disappear, but indeed, we do need to look forward. There are always more important things waiting for us.”

If one day, Jing Yi truly couldn’t hold on any longer,

she would let him go wherever he wished.

Whether to heaven, under the earth, or even into the water, as long as he was happy, she would never confine him to reality.

“You can also hate me.”

Lu Xining suddenly turned her head towards Zhou Jiawang, who was silent beside her.

Regardless of the reasons behind it, she indeed had caused him to lose two of his closest relatives.

Hearing her say this, Zhou Jiawang lifted his eyes, gazing deeply into her calm almond-shaped eyes for a long time before saying, “I don’t hate you.”

Fu Junhang cast his eyes down at her hands soaked in water, his expression unchanging, lacking any sense of triumph in avenging his mother.

“…It’s all in the past now.”

An unspoken silence spread between them and filled the air.

Another gaze was fixed their way, and as Lu Xining turned her head to look, she met the eyes of Old Mrs. Mu.

Her gaze lingered on Fu Junhang, and a myriad of words all turned into a sense of guilt at the bottom of the old lady’s eyes.

She, too, was an innocent victim.

Because she had three children of her own, she never doubted a mother’s unconditional love, sincerely anticipating the birth of her child.

This could be seen in Mu Lan’s life planning for Mu Suyu, as well as her cultivation of skills and temperament.

Even without the innate talents of the Mu Family, Mu Suyu was still raised to be an outstanding socialite of Port City.

It was just a pity that fate was cruel.

What Lu Xining admired most was her attitude of denying recognition once and for all.

She could not understand why some aristocratic families, upon finding out they had taken the wrong child, not only criticized their long-lost biological daughters but continued to care for the imposter as if she were their own.

Anyone with a sane mind would never be tolerant of the child trafficker who had switched their own daughter.

Mu Lan refused the young maid’s offer to help her stand.

In the past, she was aware that this young maid had been bought by Mu Suyu to secretly send her daily schedule.

But because she was once her daughter, Mu Lan did not get angry with her.

Now she loathed everything related to this impostor!

She walked up to Fu Junhang and Lu Xining, a sense of guilt almost spilling out of her eyes like someone drowning, desperately searching for a thought to support her will to live on.

“Child, it’s grandma who was wrong…”

“Grandma will definitely give your mother an explanation, I won’t let any of these villains off!”

The pig killer and nanny, suspected of human trafficking and murder, were taken into custody for temporarily free room and board.

Port City had no death penalty, and the most severe punishment was life imprisonment.

But for Old Mrs. Mu, who had never even seen her biological daughter’s face, this was still too light!

The lawyer discovered that Mu Suyu had emigrated them abroad; through various complicated procedures, the pig killer and nanny were sent back to that country.

And satisfyingly, the country that bought them took these kinds of incidents very seriously. As long as it was confirmed that these events were true, once the subsequent trial results were out, the perpetrators would await a painful death by hanging.

Jing Yu, who had already been arrested, might have had a chance of release under the dual influence of Ms. Han Zhaocai’s dragon switching, money-making capabilities.

But now, there wasn’t the slightest chance left!

When it was time to change names for Mu Suyu, Old Mrs. Mu had someone find her illegitimate son Mu Cen as well, making him also forgo the surname, as those with tainted blood did not deserve to bear the name of the Mu Family.

Mu Cen, though a child Mu Suyu had stealthily given birth to, was never neglected in terms of clothing, food, shelter, or travel; she even bought him a large villa and arranged dozens of servants for his daily life.

Luxury watches and various extravagances.

Mu Suyu was never stingy with him.

Looking at the expenses from Mu Cen’s upbringing, and realizing all of it was happiness siphoned from her biological daughter’s blood, the rage in Old Mrs. Mu’s heart was uncontrollable.

After changing their names, Mu Lan had Mu Suyu and Mu Cen taken to the Public Sea, a place frequented by sharks.

They were put in two swimming rings and kicked into the sea, tied to the yacht with a rope trailing behind, dragging them through the water.

Mu Suyu and Mu Cen’s bodies were covered in wounds that quickly opened in the sea, the scent of blood swiftly attracting the ocean’s apex predators.

One triangle fin after another breached the surface, heading straight for Mu Suyu and her child. As they approached the brink of collapse, the rope tied to the swimming ring snapped, as if heaven itself had reclaimed these human scum.

Upon receiving the news, Jing Zheng sat on the couch, stunned and unable to regain his senses for a long time, his mother’s killers were dead.

He couldn’t describe how he felt.

Meanwhile, Lu Xining, Fu Junhang, and Haozi were plotting a series of revenge plans against Jing Yi.

Mu Suyu was no good, and Jing Yi was the same.

There was no reason for a woman who had committed countless misdeeds to get what she deserved, while a man could live peacefully unaffected!

Jing Yi had to be held accountable for the death of Jing Zheng’s mother!
