Chapter 147: Chapter 147: What I Want is a Deadly Feud
She stopped mid-sentence.
Nong Cuiru immediately grabbed Jiang Xinghai’s pant leg. "Divine Doctor Jiang, I’m willing to compensate Miss Feng for all her losses. Please, be merciful."
"Be merciful?"
Jiang Xinghai sneered and shook Nong Cuiru off. "This scum tried to assault my sister, and you’re asking me to be merciful? Is this the He Family’s way of doing things?"
"Th-that’s not, of course it’s not," Nong Cuiru said, her face twisting in distress.
"I can save him, but I’ve said it before: if the one who harmed Lulu was a man, I would castrate him." Jiang Xinghai declared with a flick of his sleeve.
"Absolutely not!"
Upon hearing this, Nong Cuiru stood up without Jiang Xinghai’s permission, her demeanor suddenly becoming assertive. "Divine Doctor Jiang, the He Family has only this one grandson. If you castrate him, how will our family line continue? You absolutely cannot do this! Absolutely not!"
"Then give me a suggestion," Jiang Xinghai said, raising an eyebrow.
Nong Cuiru racked her brain, weighing her options, before finally deciding. "As long as Divine Doctor Jiang can cure my grandson’s mental impairment, my offer still stands: half of the He Family’s assets."
"And?" Jiang Xinghai asked.
"And... the He Family owns a medicinal hall in Jizhou, worth four million. I am willing to give it to Miss Feng as an apology on my grandson’s behalf. I hope we can put this matter behind us, but my grandson must remain... completely intact," Nong Cuiru said without hesitation.
Since she was already offering half of the family’s assets, a four-million-yuan medicinal hall was nothing to her.
As long as she could protect He Zixing and ensure he could still be a man for the rest of his life, it was enough.
"In that case, let’s just convert it all to cash."
Jiang Xinghai was just as decisive. "I don’t need half of the He Family’s assets as payment. Let’s make it a round number. One billion!"
One billion!
At his words, everyone stared at Jiang Xinghai.
"Divine Doctor Jiang, you think too highly of the He Family."
Nong Cuiru’s expression was extremely complicated. "As everyone knows, the He Family is a Medical and Martial Family from Central State. But despite our glamorous reputation, our total assets are only a little over one hundred million. Fifty-four million. That is the most I can authorize."
"Then there’s nothing to discuss."
Jiang Xinghai reached out and grabbed He Zixing by the neck, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"You—let him go! What do you think you’re doing?!"
Despite being right there, Nong Cuiru hadn’t been able to react in time. She scrambled forward and grabbed Jiang Xinghai’s arm.
The three bodyguards, He Si, He Wu, and He Liu, immediately surrounded Jiang Xinghai.
"Don’t worry. While I won’t treat him, I won’t go so far as to kill him. I wouldn’t want to dirty my hands."
With a single shake of his arm, Jiang Xinghai sent Nong Cuiru flying.
"Granny, watch out!"
He Si rushed over and caught Granny Nong just as she was about to collapse to the ground.
"Audacious!"
"Insolent!"
The two bodyguards, He Wu and He Liu, both roared.
"Since when do you have a say in what I do?"
A cold glint appeared in Jiang Xinghai’s eyes as he swung his hand.
SLAP!
SLAP!
Though it seemed like a single motion, the slap landed squarely on the faces of both He Wu and He Liu, one after the other.
THUD! THUD!
The two of them couldn’t even keep their footing as the force of the slap sent them flying out the door.
"You! Let go of my grandson first. We can talk about this. Let’s negotiate!"
Granny Nong was horrified when she saw He Wu and He Liu tumble out the door and lie on the ground, completely motionless.
"This man tried to assault my sister. Merely turning him into an idiot was already giving the He Family plenty of face. Of course, I still have to revoke his qualifications for being a man." Before the words had even left his lips, Jiang Xinghai threw He Zixing out the door.
At the same time, a silver needle whizzed through the air and pierced through the part of He Zixing that made him a man.
"AHHH!!!"
A blood-curdling scream, like a pig being slaughtered, echoed from outside the door.
"Grandson!"
The color drained from Granny Nong’s face as she rushed out.
"You did it, Brother Xinghai!" Feng Lulu was the first to cheer, her voice filled with delight.
"Xinghai, did you really... cripple him?" Lin Liping asked, suddenly nervous.
Even Xue Zhong was stunned. "Mr. Jiang, you... By doing this, you’ve made a mortal enemy of the He Family..."
"I only crippled him. I think that was merciful enough."
The coldness in Jiang Xinghai’s expression gradually faded as he announced in a clear voice, "Besides, a mortal enemy is exactly what I want."
"..."
Everyone was speechless.
They didn’t know that Jiang Xinghai never did things halfway.
His style had always been to repay every favor and avenge every wrong—and to pull out the problem by the roots!
"Jiang Xinghai!"
Outside, Nong Cuiru’s hoarse roar was filled with rage. "You’ve gone too far! Way too far! The He Family will never forgive you! Just you wait!"
"Nong Cuiru, you were clearly the ones in the wrong, yet here you are, slinging baseless accusations. Your whole act of flaunting your age really pisses me off."
Jiang Xinghai suddenly appeared in a flash, standing before Nong Cuiru outside the door. "The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. You, the old one, are a piece of trash, and the young one is even worse."
"You! This isn’t over!" Nong Cuiru stumbled back several steps, intimidated by Jiang Xinghai’s presence.
Beside her, He Si remained protectively in front of Nong Cuiru, not daring to confront Jiang Xinghai.
’He’s too strong!’
’A single slap had beaten her two companions half to death!’
