Chapter 10: Aberration
Zheng Hui turned to look at Xiao Yuan, who was tightly bound by nylon ropes. Under the constricting effect of the ropes, Xiao Yuan resembled the female protagonist in a certain scene of a romantic adult film.
Time flies swiftly. As the wound on Zheng Hui's head has healed significantly, even sprouting half a centimeter of new hair, the lingering warmth of late summer can no longer withstand the chill of early autumn, especially at night when the temperature gradually becomes cold.
"Why is this question so difficult to answer?" Zheng Hui squinted his eyes, yet his tone became increasingly gentle.
Zheng Hui did not expect that you would come out to play during your recovery. This is my person, let them go!" Nangong Yanzi said with a smile that did not reach his eyes, and the trap in his words was likely known only to him.
Nangong Yanzi became furious, his expression darkening. He was certain that Zheng Hui would not dare to explain the reason, because at that moment, all he had to do was to create a scene, bringing up Zheng Hui's hat and exposing the scar on his head, which would cause Zheng Hui to lose a great deal of face.
Upon saying this, Zheng Hui's expression changed, and he laughed heartily, saying: "Hahaha, there is still an ice mountain bodyguard at home; I must return to handle the aftermath. Farewell, mhetushucomcom, enjoy yourselves."
According to the severity of the situation, a mere flesh wound could result in the loss of a finger! Since this fellow has so recklessly offended Young Master Zheng, I believe he should have a finger chopped off. Such dirty work should be left to me; I guarantee Young Master Zheng will be satisfied
Slow down! Zeng Kun, have you gained some skills? My subordinate, not knowing what he did, has to chop off his fingers as an apology? Moreover, even if it is a punishment, it should be a matter for the Nangong family, right?
Zheng Hui touched his buzz-cut head, put on a soft sports jacket, and then prepared to go downstairs
With such skills, he was actually taken down by Zheng Hui alone. ... This ...? ... How could this happen to Zheng Hui, who has been under the watchful eyes of various forces since childhood, and is said to only indulge in eating, drinking, and playing, flaunting his power?
Zheng Hui squinted his eyes, and the hand gripping Xiao Zhang's wrist suddenly slipped, quietly seizing one of his fingers. Then, amidst the incredulous gazes of the crowd, he forcefully twisted it in the opposite direction. A sharp crack was heard, and the finger bone was completely ruined.
Nangong Yanzi and the librarian's expressions changed dramatically, as they truly did not expect that Zheng Hui would actually dare to cripple someone's fingers!
Zeng Kun's sudden words caused an abrupt silence in the venue. The people beside Nangong Yanzi gasped in shock, as this was simply a blatant disregard for Nangong Yanzi.
The only difference is that Xiao Yuan's figure is undoubtedly several times more stunning than those of the actresses in uncensored films, and her cold, frost-like face adds significantly to her appeal
If he is not discovered, this minor pawn would become a discarded piece, at most compensated afterwards. However, since he has already been discovered, if he does not protect the minor pawn, his prestige in the circle will undoubtedly be damaged
As for the surrounding rascals, they were already astonished by Zheng Hui's even more outrageous and arrogant demeanor than before
At this moment, Nangong Yanzi's face was pale and frightening, his fists clenched tightly, making a cracking sound, filled with the impulse to strike someone. However, in the end, he managed to hold it back, enduring the struggle with great difficulty, his whole body trembling in fear
Zheng Hui squinted his eyes and suddenly asked Zeng Kun: "How do you usually handle disturbances to customers?"
Zheng Hui returned home unscathed. Although Xiao Yuan's expression remained frosty, she felt a sense of relief inside. Even though she harbored a deep-seated hatred for Zheng Hui, the labor contract was still in effect. Violating the terms of the contract would undoubtedly be a significant blow to her.
Speaking of how Xiao Yuan was bound and appeared on Zheng Hui's bed, it is necessary to mention a previous minor incident
Having spoken, Zheng Hui disregarded the peculiar expressions of everyone and strode away with great strides, showing not the slightest consideration for Nangong Yanzi
Zheng Hui coldly laughed as he pushed Xiao Zhang towards Nangong Yanzi, saying with a sneer: "I don't mind getting my hands dirty to help you out. No need to thank me; just let me have an easy time in the competition at the end of the month. As for this person's crime, hehe, I believe the illustrious Nangong family's scandals are not something you would want to be made public, right?"
Seeing Zheng Hui glance over, Nangong Yanzi realized that he could no longer remain an outsider. He straightened his clothes and stood up with a composed expression.
Although Zeng Kun did not understand what had happened, he could see that the person captured by Zheng Hui was from Nangong Yanzi's faction. The issue is that the Nangong family, even though they are financially inferior to the Zheng family, has deep roots in Yanjing, which cannot help but evoke caution in others
After this outing, Zheng Hui completely settled down. He stayed at home, diligently taking care of his health, and spent most of his remaining time in the study
Thus, as soon as he appeared, he had no intention of shirking responsibility or distancing himself from Xiao Zhang, as doing so would only tarnish his reputation for being "bold yet cowardly"
After saying this, Zheng Hui's expression suddenly revealed a brazen and defiant demeanor: "Some dogs are inherently lowly; do we even need to consider their owner when hitting them? The masters who raise such dogs are likely not good people either. Brother Yanzi, don't you think so?"
While tidying up the study, Aunt Feng discovered that every day there were strange scratches appearing in the room. Among them, one book had a hole shot through it, resembling a gunshot, yet there were no signs of burning around it
... ...
"You... let go of me! You are violating the terms of the contract." The voice of Xiao Yuan, filled with shame and anger, came from the large bed behind.
As a servant of a prominent family, Aunt Feng is well aware of what can and cannot be said. After subtly inquiring Zheng Hui whether to repair the scratches on the bookshelf and receiving a directive not to, Aunt Feng soon noticed that similar scratches no longer appeared in the study. However, Zheng Hui's time spent in the study sharply decreased, and he instead became accustomed to lingering in the garage for a while after meals
Ah... this time, the little chapter can no longer hold its ground, crying out in pain with a face drenched in sweat. Fortunately, this is in a bar, where the sound waves cover part of it.
No one noticed the sudden glint in Zeng Kun's eyes; everyone was focused on Zheng Hui's arrogance, but he paid attention to the person who had been taken down by Zheng Hui, known on the streets as "Empty Hands". "Empty Hands" refers not only to his thieving skills but also to his ability to escape.
For some unknown reason, Zheng Hui, who had never been valued by Zeng Kun, suddenly appeared to be shrouded in a layer of mystery in Zeng Kun's eyes. ... Because ... ! ... Zheng Hui seems to be quite capable in combat? ! When did Zheng Hui become so formidable! ? Furthermore, recalling how he had previously offended Zheng Hui terribly, if this time he were to lean towards the Nangong family, the Zeng family would likely become a thorn in Zheng's side!
I want you to look good! The airflow squeezed out from between the teeth caused the expressions of everyone present to change once again. When the crowd turned their gaze towards the owner of the voice, Nangong Yanzi, a hint of fervor appeared in their eyes.
