1047: Chapter 1048: Brother Will Protect You!

“As long as you come back with us, we naturally won’t harm them.”

Duanmu Yun dared not harm Jiang Meng.

Because he knew that behind Xinmeng Group was the protection of the Yanzi Sect, he could attack Xiao Chen, but he absolutely couldn’t touch Jiang Meng, or else he would die a miserable death.

“Brother Xiao Chen, Sister Jiang Meng, you have added some excitement to my dull life.

After I go to Africa, I will definitely miss you.

Don’t start a conflict with the Duanmu Family for my sake.

I’m not worth it.

Besides, you can’t afford to provoke the Duanmu Family.”

Yin Que was very clear about how terrifying the Duanmu Family was.

An underworld aristocratic clan with enough power in Chaoyang City to determine a person’s life or death at will.

“Duanmu Yun, if I see Yin Que with even the slightest injury, next time, I’ll definitely kill you.”

Xiao Chen looked at Duanmu Yun indifferently.

Yin Que didn’t understand his strength, and probably wouldn’t believe it even if he told her.

He didn’t plan on explaining; with his people secretly protecting her, no one would be able to harm Yin Que.

“What are you doing!”

Duanmu Yun was startled by Xiao Chen’s gaze.

In that moment, he felt as if he saw a ferocious beast baring its bloody maw at him, which nearly made him wet his pants.

Having regained his composure, Duanmu Yun became furious with embarrassment.

He was a young master of the prestigious Duanmu Family, and yet he had been intimidated by a worthless son-in-law.

This was too humiliating.

Grinding his teeth, he said, “Xiao Chen, you still want to protect her?

Let me tell you, you’re like a clay Buddha crossing a river – you’re barely keeping your own head above water.

You have to go to Africa, whether you like it or not, there’s no room for negotiation.

Now that you know why we want you to come back, it saves me the trouble of explaining.

Someone like you doesn’t even deserve to enter the Duanmu Family.”

“Heh, is that so?

Just by the might of the Duanmu Family?

A bunch of frogs in a well.”

Xiao Chen scoffed contemptuously, “Go back and tell Duanmu Lin to hurry up and roll back to Chaoyang City; otherwise, I can’t guarantee he’ll be able to leave in one piece.

If he ends up like Duanmu Hai with all limbs broken, that’d be quite pitiful.”

“What’s it to you?

That was the doing of the Li Family from Xiongcheng City, that was the Yanzi Sect’s doing.

We admit defeat, but who are you to threaten our Zhou Family?

There’s only one outcome for you, and that is to marry into the Tajin Country.

No one can save you now.

By the way, I’ve heard that the Princess of Tajin Country has already been married three times, and not one of those men lived past a month.

How long do you think you’ll survive?”

Duanmu Yun sneered, “Right, don’t even think about running away.

You won’t be able to escape Xiongcheng City.”

“Run?

Why would I run?

I’m afraid it’ll be you who’s running in the end.”

Xiao Chen said with a smirk tinged with mockery.

“Hmph, stubborn till the end, Yin Que, come with me.”

Duanmu Yun, assisted by his men, got into a car and took Yin Que away.

“Honey, Yin Que will be okay, right?”

Jiang Meng was a bit worried, having talked with Yin Que for a while, she could tell just how hard the child’s life had been, far harder than her own.

“Don’t worry, she called me ‘brother,’ how could I let her suffer even the slightest grievance?”

Xiao Chen smiled and said, “Ghost Blade, keep an eye on her.

Don’t let Yin Que suffer any harm.

If you need to take action, just do it, and if something happens, I will take responsibility.”

“Yes!”

Ghost Blade left.

Xiao Chen didn’t trust others, but he felt somewhat more reassured with Ghost Blade on it.

Yin Que gave him a very good impression; despite enduring such torment, she managed to maintain a kind heart, which was incredibly rare.

Having been through such things, most people would likely become the type of person he despised.

If a girl like her was still bullied, then what justice could there be in this world?

Then his role as King Yama would be meaningless.

He wanted the wicked to feel fear and the good to feel safe.

Duanmu Yun took Yin Que back to the Fang Family mansion.

“Kneel down!”

Xiao Chen had injured Duanmu Yun’s ankle, and harboring deep resentment in his heart, Duanmu Yun could only vent his anger on Yin Que, shoving her to the ground.

Yin Que didn’t resist; such treatment was nothing new to her.

It was just a beating, and that no longer scared her.

“What’s wrong with your foot?”

Duanmu Lin didn’t look at Yin Que but asked with concern.

“It’s all because of that Xiao Chen.

That guy is a lunatic.

And he was actually with Yin Que.

Yin Que even told Xiao Chen about Tajin Country’s affairs–that backstabbing bitch.”

Duanmu Yun cursed, attempting to kick Yin Que.

The pain in his ankle prevented him from kicking hard and, in turn, caused him to stumble and fall to the ground.

“Scoundrel!”

Duanmu Lin struck Yin Que with a harsh slap, “You slut, you’re as low as your mother.

If I hadn’t taken you out of that place, you wouldn’t be living in luxury.

And now you’ve betrayed the Duanmu Family.”

Other members of the Duanmu Family each pointed and hurled insults at Yin Que.

“Worthless wretch, if you weren’t somewhat useful, we’d kill you on the spot.”

“How dare you betray the Duanmu Family, it’s unforgivable.”

“Do you realize how grave your sin would be if Xiao Chen escapes because of you?

Have you ever thought about the Duanmu Family?”

Everyone took their turn; one spat, while another threw rotten eggs at Yin Que’s head.

It was as if Yin Que had committed an atrocious sin.

Yin Que knelt there, her face expressionless.

She had already lost all hope in this world.

She was no longer startled by such treatment.

“What does the Duanmu Family have to do with me?”

Suddenly, Yin Que thought of Xiao Chen and Jiang Meng, and a surge of courage swept over her.

She stood up and slapped Duanmu Yun across the face.

“Are you insane!”

The members of the Duanmu Family were stunned.

Since her arrival, this woman had always been compliant.

What had gotten into her?

“I’m not insane; I’ve just come to a realization,”

Yin Que coldly said to Duanmu Lin, “I used to live in fear, always nodding and bowing, just scraping by.

I never dared to hope for anything.

I, who’ve never been cherished or loved, got used to being submissive, got used to being bullied.

But today, I won’t take it anymore.

Duanmu Lin, old bastard, you call yourself a father?

You’re worse than pigs and dogs.”

Duanmu Lin froze, wondering if the woman had gone mad, daring to speak to him in such a manner.

“Beat her for me, teach this bitch a lesson, just don’t kill her,”

Duanmu Lin bellowed.

Several sturdy men stepped forward to restrain Yin Que.

“Do you really want to beat me?”

Yin Que, though pinned down, defiantly lifted her head, “Think carefully.”

“You’re threatening me?”

Duanmu Lin coldly said.

“Family Head, this slut is threatening you.”

“Dad, don’t hesitate.

If you don’t teach this woman a lesson, she won’t remember her own name.

She must’ve been led astray by Xiao Chen,”

Duanmu Yun shouted loudly.

He had actually been slapped by Yin Que, something he couldn’t have even imagined before.

“That’s right, I am threatening you.

Unless you kill me, if I marry the king of Tajin Country, I guarantee that all of your Duanmu Family’s dealings there will be ruined.

If you want my help, then treat me better, otherwise, I can be very vindictive,”

Yin Que coldly declared.
