Becoming the Villain's Discarded Wife
Chapter 304: Kidnapping_1

When Nanzhi pushed the door to enter, she didn’t hear any strange noises.

Upon entering the room, Shen Yuntian only moved to the side, allowing Nanzhi to see the man tied to the chair.

He hadn’t originally intended to do this, but this ruffian was so annoying, with his dirty mouth, that he only tied him up and gagged him.

"Master."

Nanzhi nodded, taking a seat opposite the bully.

Shen Yuntian removed the cloth gag from the ruffian’s mouth, standing aside with Aze.

"Ptui, ptui, ptui, what the hell did you use to gag me!" Already angry about being tied to the chair, the ruffian became even more brazen upon seeing a woman enter, despite being somewhat afraid of Shen Yuntian.

His gaze scanned Nanzhi, and a playful look flashed in his eyes: "Oh, where did this young lady come from? Did you come to keep me company so I won’t hold a grudge?"

Nanzhi’s face remained expressionless as she calmly asked, "Who sent you here?"

Taken aback, the ruffian didn’t reply, but retorted, "What do you mean ’sent here’? I came here to drink. Is this how you treat your guests?"

"What exactly happened two hours ago?"

"Who the hell are you! Let me go! I’m going to report you to the county office!"

The man blurted out, crying out that he was going to accuse them.

Annoyed by his noise, Nanzhi finally showed a hint of disdain, looking at Shen Yuntian: "Yun Tian, gag his mouth again. We can remove it when he’s thought things through."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuntian was about to stuff the cloth gag back into the ruffian’s mouth, which caused him to keep retreating. However, being tied to the chair, he could only protest: "This is kidnapping! I’m going to report you! Your lousy restaurant had better prepare for a lawsuit!"

"Since he wants to report us, Aze, go to the county office and get someone here. We can send him there directly."

Perhaps he hadn’t expected Nanzhi to be unafraid of his threats, the ruffian’s face briefly displayed surprise, and he questioned her hesitantly, "Y-you, you’re not afraid of me reporting you?"

"Why should I be afraid of your reporting?" Seeing his doubtful expression, Nanzhi felt somewhat satisfied and figured it should be about time.

"What do you mean by your words? Do you have relatives in the county office?" The ruffian’s face turned pale.

No one had told him about any reconsideration with Shen Yuntian!

He’d only recently returned from outside, hoping to earn some silver to continue gambling.

"That’s none of your concern." Nanzhi was about to have Shen Yuntian take action, which frightened the man into pleading for mercy.

"I won’t report, I won’t. J-just give me some silver, okay, okay."

Cui Tian’s face turned pale, and sweat began to bead on his forehead.

"Give you silver?"

"My hand, hand is broken. It was your worker, the worker caused it." Cui Tian’s voice wavered, but he was determined not to be mistreated for nothing and tried to negotiate some benefits.

"Broken hand? Which hand is broken?" Nanzhi was amused at the man’s audacity to still argue for silver despite his trembling legs.

"I, I..."

Seeing that Cui Tian couldn’t answer, Nanzhi glanced at Shen Yuntian.

Following Nanzhi’s gaze, Shen Yuntian didn’t say anything, but instead walked over and dislocated Cui Tian’s left arm with a snap.

"Ahh—"

Cui Tian howled, feeling a heart-breaking pain in his left arm. Waves of sharp pain spread across his arm, and beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

"Is it the left arm?" Nanzhi smiled at him. Seeing no reaction, she turned to Shen Yuntian again: "Looks like it’s not the left arm. Yun Tian, we dislocated the wrong one."

"Master, I’m sorry." With a trace of regret in his voice, Shen Yuntian popped Cui Tian’s arm back in.

Cui Tian had just caught his breath when he felt his right arm being grabbed.

"I’m telling you, I ah—"

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Yuntian had dislocated his right arm.

After two consecutive bouts of pain, Cui Tian’s face turned pale, full of agony.

"I’ll tell, I’ll tell, it was, it was Wu Er from Hongfu Building, he, he sent me." Cui Tian, enduring the pain, explained.

"I just returned to Yan City a couple days ago. That Wu Er found me, gave me two taels of silver, and asked me to cause trouble here."

Nanzhi felt a sense of familiarity upon hearing the name Wu Er.

Upon racking her brain, she remembered the man being mentioned in a conversation between her brother and sister-in-law some time ago.

Ms. Cui, sitting in a wheelchair, had been boasting to her sister-in-law, leading to her brother mentioning that the wheelchair had been sold to Wu Er of the Hongfu Building.

At the time, she thought nothing of it other than amusement, but she hadn’t expected the man would come up again.

However, her restaurant, Sanwei Residence, had no issues with Hongfu Building. Why would Wu Er send someone to cause trouble?

"I’ve told you everything, quickly, quickly put my arm back!" Cui Tian was not a smart man, and he had never suffered before. This punishment was too much for him to bear.

Wu Er had only told him that the owners of Sanwei Residence were two women from out of town. He didn’t mention the presence of such a formidable person!

The two taels of silver he earned truly came at a great price!

Seeing that Cui Tian was about to faint from the pain, Nanzhi finally allowed Shen Yuntian to put his shoulder back in place with a hint of disappointment.

If he fainted, it wouldn’t work. She still had to wait for Aze to return so they could send him to the county office.

"Yun Tian, gag him and let’s go out for a bit." Nanzhi dusted off her hands and got up to leave.

"Yes, master." Ignoring Cui Tian’s struggle, Shen Yuntian gagged him again. Seeing him wriggle, Shen Yuntian became annoyed and knocked him out with a single chop.

Shen Yuntian’s actions were swift and clean, leaving Nanzhi slightly taken aback.

"Sister Nanzhi?" Seeing her gaze, Shen Yuntian became somewhat embarrassed.

Despite Nanzhi looking younger than him, he still felt obliged to call her ’sister’.

"No problem at all, your skills are impressive." Nanzhi affirmed with a nod, giving him a thumbs up.

Shen Yuntian’s ears reddened a bit, but he didn’t say anything.

It wasn’t peak hour yet, and the restaurant was not too busy. The kitchen was well managed by An Wazi and Lin Xiaoquan.

Nanzhi instructed Wang Sheng not to let the ruffian escape and then left the venue with Shen Yuntian.

Since Miss Zeng was startled at her restaurant, it was only polite of her to express her concern.

Otherwise, it would be too insincere.

When Hexiu returned to the Zeng Family, Mrs. Zeng was sitting by Miss Zeng’s bedside, wiping her tears in distress.

"My poor Nana."

"Ma’am, Miss."

Upon seeing her masters, Hexiu hurriedly greeted them.

"Hexiu, how did it go?"

Wiping away her tears, Mrs. Zeng looked upset.

She had objected to Nana’s visit to the women’s building of Sanwei Residence. Now, Nana had been traumatized by a single visit, and God knows how long she would remain affected.

Seeing her master’s current state, Hexiu hesitated. Glancing at Miss Zeng, then back at Mrs. Zeng, she was unsure whether she should speak or not.
