Chapter 143: Chapter 104 Kind Old Lady"Have you got a death wish?"
As Jiang Shouzhong spoke, his fist smashed into Nalan Xie’s abdomen.
Nalan Xie’s body slammed against the wall with a solid ’bang’, instantly doubling over like a shrimp, clutching his stomach, his face flushing red as blood rushed to his cheeks.
"You... you son of a..."
As he caught his breath, he looked up at Jiang Shouzhong and complained, "My injuries haven’t even healed yet, can’t you go a little easier?"
Seeing Jiang Shouzhong’s eagle-like gaze fixed on him as he approached with clenched fist, Nalan Xie said helplessly, "That bitch is just as disobedient as your secret treasure of a woman. I can only calm her down by taking off my clothes; otherwise, I’m just her lackey! Didn’t you hear her threatening to blind me just now? What can I do!"
While massaging his abdomen and struggling to stand up, Nalan Xie said, "I’ve actually come today for a serious matter to discuss with you. Mr. Li’s family has had an emergency, so she won’t be able to make it for a few days."
Jiang Shouzhong’s steps halted as he asked with a frown, "What happened to her family?"
The first thing Jiang Shouzhong thought of was someone causing trouble from the shadows.
After all, Li Nanshuang was supposed to have put aside the Demon Energy investigation case, but after leaving, she went completely silent, making it hard not to suspect that something was amiss.
Nalan Xie, sitting down with gritted teeth, saw the two women fighting from inside to outside the house, and continued, "Her second uncle ran into some trouble in Qingzhou, so she went there, and won’t be back any time soon. Also, Mr. Li has already pushed the task assigned to you by the higher-ups to find the Demon Energy. This time, I’m here to persuade you to work with me and take on the Demon Energy case."
Hearing Nalan Xie’s explanation, Jiang Shouzhong’s tense mood relaxed slightly.
It seemed Li Nanshuang surely had a family emergency, which is why she rushed to Qingzhou, not because someone in the Capital was meddling.
"Why are you discussing this with me?" asked Jiang Shouzhong.
In the courtyard, Xia He and Qing were still fighting fiercely. Though Qing’s cultivation was slightly superior, Xia He’s reckless fighting style had forcibly turned the tide of the battle.
Nalan Xie said irritably, "With Mr. Li gone, you’re in charge of Wind Thunder Hall, isn’t that obvious? They’ve already acknowledged it, and that’s why I’m coming to you."
Jiang Shouzhong shook his head, "Sorry, but I’m not interested in
"This damn bastard really just threw me aside like that!"
Seeing the man leave without looking back, Qing cursed loudly, struggling to break free from Xia He’s clutches and chasing after him.
After disentangling herself, she glared back at Xia He fiercely, "Little girl, I’ll remember you."
"Dark grapes, take care on your way," Jiang Shouzhong said out of the blue as he walked out of the house.
Qing was startled, suddenly looking down to find that in the struggle, her front garment had been slit open by Xia He’s Sword Qi.
Everything inside was completely visible.
The insulted woman’s eyes reddened, but in the end, she managed to suppress her anger instead of acting irrationally. Covering her chest, she glared viciously at Jiang Shouzhong and then turned to chase after Nalan Xie.
Jiang Shouzhong watched Xia He, who was still panting lightly. The girl’s clothes were mostly intact, with only a slight tear at the shoulder, revealing a glimpse of her pale skin. "Miss Xiahe, are you alright?"
