Rebirth as the Richest Woman in the World
Chapter 550, (first update)

Chapter 550: 550, (first update)

Mu Lian was stunned.

The reaction of Mo Qianjue was beyond her expectations.

At this moment, Mo Qianjue was obviously in a rage, with an urgency and impatience too.

It was as if he needed to verify something.

Mu Lian’s heart also skipped a beat.

It must be that the Jade Pendant was too important to Mo Qianjue, which was why he had become like this.

Now that Mo Qianjue was angry, that woman was going to suffer the consequences. After all, Mo Qianjue’s methods were at the opposite extreme of his appearance.

With this thought, Mu Lian’s lips unconsciously curled into a smile.

Mu Lian gathered her thoughts and respectfully responded, "The person is locked up in the dungeon."

Mo Qianjue stood up abruptly and with a stern face said, "Lead the way."

"Yes." Mu Lian turned and stepped forward.

There was some distance between the dungeon and the main city.

Along the way, Mo Qianjue’s pace was very fast.

As if the wind were at his feet.

At the Nine Turns rails, they encountered a little lolita playing with Bread. It wasn’t until Mo Qianjue strode past her that the little girl reacted, calling out to his retreating figure, "Daddy, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Mo Qianjue’s mind was now completely filled with the image of Chu Jin; he did not hear the little girl’s words.

"Weird! Is Daddy on fire?" the little girl scratched her head in confusion.

"Woof!" Bread barked at Mo Qianjue’s retreating figure, then started to sprint, catching up with Mo Qianjue.

Seeing this, the little lolita panicked and ran after Bread, shouting, "Silly Bread, wait for me!"

But Mo Qianjue and Mu Lian were moving too fast for the little girl and Bread, who chased after them for a long time without catching up.

In the dungeon.

The deeper they went, the darker Mo Qianjue’s expression became, and the heavier the murderous air around him.

This also made Mu Lian, following behind, increasingly nervous.

The cells here were used to imprison heavy criminals.

She hoped it wasn’t her.

Sweat was wrapped around Mo Qianjue’s palms.

Upon reaching a certain cell, Mu Lian stopped, "Big brother, it’s here."

Mo Qianjue emotionlessly said, "Open the door."

The two people guarding the door shook as they opened it, thinking, what could have happened to summon this deity here? After all, Mo Qianjue had never before stepped half a foot into the dungeon.

Who on earth was imprisoned here, such a terrible person?

As the door opened, Mo Qianjue stepped in with large strides, followed closely by Mu Lian, who sought to claim credit, "Big brother, look, it was this vile woman who stole your Jade Pendant! But rest assured, I’ve taught her a good lesson for you!"

Mu Lian spoke with a smile, completely unaware of Mo Qianjue’s now utterly cold expression.

His whole body was erupting with anger.

Mo Qianjue had never imagined that this person would indeed be Chu Jin, nor that she had been injured like this.

She was tied up there, already unconscious, her face deathly pale. Her white clothes had been stained into a bloodied garment. Her eyes were tightly closed, her brows slightly furrowed, and the room was filled with a strong stench of blood.

Holding back his intense rage, Mo Qianjue spoke in a deep voice, "Who did this?"

Mu Lian, still unaware of what had happened, was thinking only of how to gain favor in front of Mo Qianjue and hurriedly stood beside him, saying with a smile, "It was me, big brother, I knew..."

"Slap!" A crisp and loud sound suddenly pierced the air, interrupting what Mu Lian was about to say.

This slap, Mo Qianjue did not spare Mu Lian any face.

She was struck so hard that she saw stars, her head spinning, with the right side of her face swelling up, spewing out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Mu Lian finally steadied herself, covering her right face, incredulously saying, "Big... big brother..." Why would Mo Qianjue hit her all of a sudden?

Could it be that big brother was also bewitched by this vile woman?

"Smack!" Before Mu Lian could react, another slap landed on her left cheek.

"Bang!" She was knocked to the ground, her entire body throbbing with piercing pain, unable to move.

The two prison guards nearby watched in horror, not daring to breathe a word.

Having trouble digesting the situation before them.

After dealing with Mu Lian, Mo Qianjue approached with trembling steps to free Chu Jin from her bindings.

Her body had been beaten until it was split open and raw, with some wounds crusted over and others still oozing blood. Even for him, a man, the sight was chilling to the bone, yet she still pursed her lips, remaining silent.

Who could have imagined that beneath such a delicate exterior lay such an indomitable will!

Mo Qianjue’s hands trembled as he untied the ropes, his heart feeling as if it were being torn to pieces.

As soon as the ropes fell from her wrists, Chu Jin’s body uncontrollably toppled forward.

Like a kite without a string.

Mo Qianjue quickly reached out to catch her, holding her horizontally in his arms. Before leaving, he turned to the prison guards in the cell and said, "Tie Mu Lian up, administer 80 lashes with the whip! Without my order, no one is to let her out!"

His voice was extremely cold.

Perhaps not even Mu Lian had seen Mo Qianjue like this before.

In her heart, Mo Qianjue had always been like a ray of warm sunshine.

Unattainable, yet capable of warming one’s heart.

But today, Mo Qianjue had changed, as if he were someone else.

Now, he was even going to administer punishment on her—Mu Lian!

If it weren’t for the two guards already moving to restrain her, Mu Lian might have thought she was hallucinating!

What is going on here!

Who is this woman that has caused Mo Qianjue to act in such a way!

Mu Lian was filled with indignation! She cursed herself for not having killed that woman right then and there!

A curse! That woman was nothing but a curse!

Meanwhile, the prison guards efficiently tied Mu Lian up, affording her no chance to resist.

Then came the "whack, whack, whack" of the whip.

Mo Qianjue carried Chu Jin quickly, self-reproach, guilt, and heartache consuming all his reason.

He had already hurt her once before, but unexpectedly, he had hurt her again, albeit indirectly!

If it wasn’t for that Jade Pendant, might she not have died indirectly at his own hands?

Mo Qianjue hardly dared to think about it.

When he was leaving through the dungeon’s main gate, Mo Qianjue ran into the little loli and the loaf of bread that had been searching for them.

The little loli was small and, because Chu Jin’s clothes were soaked with red, she did not recognize that the person Mo Qianjue was holding was Chu Jin!

With his mind fully occupied with Chu Jin’s injuries, Mo Qianjue was in no mood to pay attention to the little loli and continued walking forward without looking back, still holding Chu Jin.

However, the loaf of bread immediately started barking at Mo Qianjue’s retreating figure.

"Woof!"

"Whine!"

It anxiously tugged at the little loli’s clothes, pulling her toward Mo Qianjue’s direction.

"Silly Loaf, what’s with you today?" The little loli patted the dog’s head.

"Woof, woof, woof!" Unable to speak, the loaf of bread could only bark loudly at Mo Qianjue’s figure.

Suddenly, the little loli seemed to realize something!

Moments ago, that was clearly a woman Papa was holding! Papa is so wicked! Even though he is already with Brother Jin, he’s still out there flirting with others!

With hands on her hips, the little loli hummed dissatisfiedly and quickly climbed onto the Loaf’s back, "Silly Loaf, let’s catch up to Papa quickly."

Seeing that his little master had finally come to her senses, the Loaf darted out like an arrow released from its bow.

Meanwhile, Mo Qianjue had already brought Chu Jin to the main city.

With a chill on his face the entire way, he scared all the passing servants into shivering tremors.

Inside a very luxurious room.

Mo Qianjue carefully placed the person in his arms onto the bed, not minding at all that the bloodstains from her body soiled the sheets.

The person in a coma seemed to feel uncomfortable and frowned slightly.

Beads of sweat formed in layers on her fair forehead.

Her lips also turned as pale as paper.

An observant assistant immediately brought over a basin of clean water. As he was about to wring out a towel to clean Chu Jin’s wounds, Mo Qianjue instead took the towel from him and said, "Go and invite The Witch Doctor, and then have someone prepare a set of women’s clothes."

From beginning to end, Mo Qianjue’s expression was very solemn, a stark contrast to his usual demeanor.

This was the first time the assistant had seen Mo Qianjue care so much about a woman.

Even bringing her into his own room.

Before this, Mo Qianjue never brought strange women back to Lawless City, and certainly never allowed them to sleep in his bed.

It’s unknown whose daughter she was to have the fortune of catching Mo Qianjue’s eye.

"Understood, Chief," the assistant respectfully retreated and left.

Mo Qianjue took the towel and sat by the bed, gently wiping the sweat from Chu Jin’s forehead with tender movements.

Soon, Pengpeng and Bread found their way to the door.

"Papa!" A crisp childish voice rang out from the entrance.

Mo Qianjue looked up. Before he could speak, Pengpeng strutted in with hands on her hips, huffing, "Hmph! Stinky Papa, did you fall in love with some other aunty outside? Do you not love Jin anymore? I’m telling you! Nobody but Jin can be my momma, and you better throw this aunty out right now!"

As Pengpeng spoke, she walked toward the bed.

Mo Qianjue sighed, unsure how to explain to Pengpeng, "I... Pengpeng, can you go out first? Daddy has some things to attend to, and will play with you later."

If Pengpeng saw Chu Jin like this, there’s no telling how she might react.

Pengpeng pointed at Mo Qianjue, her big, bright eyes flashing with cunning, "Papa! You’re feeling guilty! You scream in the room!" Realizing her mistake, she corrected herself saying, "It’s ’hiding beauty in the golden house’! Papa, what you’re doing is wrong! How could you do something to betray Jin? Tell me, who is lying on the bed?"

Mo Qianjue walked to the window and picked up a document from the table, saying calmly, "Nobody, stop meddling as a child and go back to your room. Daddy is busy with something else."

"I’d have to see a ghost to believe you!" Taking advantage of Mo Qianjue’s distraction, Pengpeng quickly pulled back the bedding on the bed.

It was too late for Mo Qianjue to stop her then.

Pengpeng had originally intended to drag the ’bad woman’ lying on the bed down.

But when she clearly saw the person’s face, she froze entirely.

With a pale face, she uttered, "Jin... Jin, Jin... "

Good heavens!

This woman covered in blood was actually Jin!

Pengpeng could never have imagined that the person was Chu Jin!

Seeing Jin in this state, she couldn’t be dead, could she?

Could it be that Pengpeng would never see Jin again?

Pengpeng cried out with a "waah!"

"Jin... you can’t die..."

"Papa! Bad Papa! You killed Jin! You murderer!" Pengpeng threw a tantrum of punches and kicks at Mo Qianjue.

Because earlier, when she saw Mo Qianjue emerge from the dungeon carrying Chu Jin who was covered in blood, Pengpeng assumed it was Mo Qianjue who had harmed her.

"Wuu wuu wuu... I will avenge Jin," sobbed Pengpeng, crying heartbreakingly while beating on Mo Qianjue.

Bread also circled the head of the bed, continuously spinning around.

Whimpers of distress came from his mouth.

"Stop crying, it’s Daddy’s fault, Daddy apologizes to you," Mo Qianjue squatted down to make eye contact with Pengpeng, starting his apology with a sense of remorse.

It was indeed partly his responsibility that Chu Jin was hurt like this.

The little loli slapped Mo Qianjue across his handsome face, sobbing, "What’s the use of an apology? You compensate me with Brother Jin... I don’t want your apology, I just want Brother Jin..."

In her heart, aside from Papa, there was only Brother Jin.

Seeing him become like this, of course, the little loli was heartbroken. She really liked Chu Jin very much and even regarded him as her future mom.

She hadn’t expected her unreliable Papa to disappoint her now!

Papa was really too detestable! He actually killed Brother Jin!

Thinking that she might never see Brother Jin again, the little loli cried even more sadly...

"She’s not dead," Mo Qianjue stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on the little loli’s face. "The Witch Doctor is on his way, and he will surely be able to cure her."

Upon hearing these words, the little loli’s emotions improved somewhat, and she stammered while sobbing, "Y-you’re telling the truth? Brother Jin is really not dead?"

Mo Qianjue nodded, "When has Daddy ever lied to you?"

Only then did the little loli take the initiative to wipe her tears, walk to the bedside, tiptoe, and look towards Chu Jin, her little face filled with distress, "You’ve lost so much blood, it must hurt a lot, right, Brother Jin?"

Mo Qianjue stood to one side, feeling an immense sense of guilt.

The little loli leapt onto the bed and sat down. She took Chu Jin’s hand, and on the pale back of it was a fierce lash mark. The little loli gently blew on the mark while crying and said, "Don’t be scared, Brother Jin, I’ll blow on it and the pain will go away."

It wasn’t long before The Witch Doctor arrived.

The Witch Doctor was a middle-aged woman around forty years old, wearing a long robe with some fine lines at the corner of her eyes and a very compassionate face.

She greeted Mo Qianjue very respectfully, "Chief."

Mo Qianjue immediately stood up to lead The Witch Doctor to the bedside, "Please, Witch Doctor."

When The Witch Doctor saw Chu Jin on the bed, she didn’t show any surprise but took out her medical kit with calm, and said to Mo Qianjue, "Chief, there is a distinction between men and women. Please excuse yourself."

Mo Qianjue nodded, "I’ll leave everything in the Witch Doctor’s hands."

"It’s my duty," The Witch Doctor said indifferently, taking out various medicinal materials from her kit.

"Witch Doctor, please, you must save Brother Jin," the little loli jumped down from the bed and clung to The Witch Doctor’s legs, pleading.

Only then did The Witch Doctor put down the herbs, lower her eyes to look at the little loli and show a kind smile, "Miss, don’t worry, I will do my utmost. You go out with the Chief for now."

Mo Qianjue bent down to pick up the little loli and said to The Witch Doctor, "We are in your hands," and with that, he walked outside and closed the door.

The Witch Doctor walked to Chu Jin’s side with her bottles and jars.

When she saw Chu Jin’s face clearly, she first paused, then sighed.

Mo Qianjue and the little loli waited anxiously outside the door.

The soundproofing of the door was excellent, so not a whisper from inside could be heard.

About half an hour later, the door was finally opened.

Out came The Witch Doctor, looking weary.

Mo Qianjue immediately approached, somewhat anxious, and asked, "Witch Doctor, how is she? Is she all right?"

"Chief, rest assured, she’s fully recovered."

A flicker of joy crossed Mo Qianjue’s face as he hurried toward the door.

The little loli was so happy she could have jumped for joy.

That was great, Brother Jin could be her mom again!

In the room.

Chu Jin was still lying in bed, her bloodstained clothes had been removed, and although she had yet to regain consciousness, her complexion had turned rosy, her breathing was even, and the previously visible lash marks had disappeared.

The Witch Doctor’s medical skills were indeed extraordinary!

"Chief," The Witch Doctor stood behind the father and daughter, and seeing their excitement, she slowly spoke up, "Forgive me for speaking out, but it would be better for you to keep some distance from this woman."

At these words, Mo Qianjue’s brows slightly furrowed, and he looked up at The Witch Doctor, asking, "Why do you say that?"

The Witch Doctor did not elaborate further, only saying, "Chief, if you trust my words, it’s best to keep your distance from her." With that, she took her medical kit and left.

Mo Qianjue watched The Witch Doctor’s retreating figure with a complicated expression.

The little loli lay by the bed, sometimes pinching Chu Jin’s cheeks, sometimes counting her lashes, but as Chu Jin still didn’t wake up, she became somewhat impatient and said, "Papa, why hasn’t Brother Jin woken up yet?"
