"No right to do that?"
Rong Dai let out a cold laugh and fired another shot at Shi Ning's other hand!
A cruel and icy smile crept across her face!
The mere thought of what had just happened almost caused her to lose her elder sister again, if only by a hair's breadth!
It was like a venomous thorn piercing her heart!
She would not allow it, she absolutely would not permit it!
Shi Ning screamed in agony as she tumbled down the stairs, her face cut open by shattered stones, fresh blood oozing out, making her appear particularly grotesque and terrifying.
Rong Dai's gaze fell upon a pistol that had fallen from Shi Ning's body, and she let out a cold laugh, "This is what you mean by having no right?"
Discarding the sniper rifle, yet hiding other firearms on her person, waiting for her to present herself?
"Shi Ning, you underestimate me."
"I said, whoever dares to harm those close to me, I will make sure they wish they were dead!"
Rong Dai walked barefoot towards her, her jade feet stomping mercilessly on Shi Ning's cheek, causing her face to contort in pain.
She looked down at Shi Ning, chambering a round and firing at her shoulder blade, fresh blood splattering onto her face, her once pristine features now appearing eerily ghastly.
"Ah—you vile woman! How dare you?!"
Shi Ning screamed in agony, her whole body feeling as though it had been hammered!
The immense pain threatened to tear her apart!
Yet the most galling thing was that her hands had been rendered useless, her arms numb with only pain.
Her shattered shoulder blade felt as though her entire scalp would burst open!
"You're trying to kill me, what's there to dare not do?"
Rong Dai's smile was cold and ominous, her words dripping with bone-chilling iciness.
Outside, the thunder roared, and rain poured heavily.
Jing Chen watched this scene unfold, somewhat regretting why he didn't go down earlier.
He had thought Huo Shao Ting's wife would be some soft, easily swayed goddess-like figure, never imagining that when provoked, she could be more ferocious than a mother tiger!
"Shi Ning, I was once lenient with you, did you really think I was an easy target?"
"The child I lost, even if it was due to my own body's condition, had it not been for your and Yang Yue's abduction scheme, my child might have still had a glimmer of hope."
"Shi Ning, you take human life far too lightly."
"So, your life is not worth cherishing or pitying either."
"If King Yama won't take you, I will."
Her expression was icy as she pressed the gun's muzzle against Shi Ning's chest, right where her heart was.
"No—"
Bang!
Along with Shi Ning's horrified scream came a thunderous roar from the horizon, the lightning flashing unnaturally frightening.
Rong Dai's expression was glacial as she calmly withdrew her jade foot.
She glanced at Jing Chen, "Scared witless?"
Jing Chen snapped out of his daze and quickly shook his head.
Not scared witless, but stunned, that was true.
He truly hadn't expected Rong Dai to take action.
"She deserved to die."
Rong Dai's gaze was tinged with malice, her words chillingly cold.
In her previous life, had she gained this clarity earlier, how could her family have been so viciously slaughtered?
"Will you handle the rest?"
Jing Chen nodded, "That's no problem, even if it goes to court for trial, they won't be able to convict you. The Brocade Embroidery Workshop will likely be dismantled."
"Our weapons were all approved, so there won't be any issues. We were just acting in self-defense."
He hadn't been mistaken earlier, Shi Ning clearly had no intention of letting Rong Dai off, still concealing a gun to potentially deliver a fatal shot to Rong Dai.
It was fortunate that Rong Dai didn't blindly believe Shi Ning's lies, otherwise it would be Rong Dai lying there now.
Rong Dai listened quietly as he spoke, tearing a piece of cloth from her dress to wipe the blood off her face.
"No, Arthur will handle those matters. I want you to take care of Shi Ning's body."
Jing Chen was taken aback, not quite understanding her meaning.
She turned her head, her sharp gaze fixed on him, "Burn it to ashes, understand?"
