Chapter 500: Chapter 499: Today was an Eye-Opener

Grandma’s fear had diminished a lot.

She looked at Luo Ning and said, "I am Xi Shu’s grandma; we are on the same side. Please don’t hurt us by mistake."

Luo Ning raised an eyebrow, "Who says we’re on the same side? You sure think highly of yourselves."

Seeing that Luo Ning hadn’t made the snake bigger, the old lady courageously said, "Even if we’re not on the same side, it doesn’t matter. Help me save my grandson, and I won’t pursue today’s matter."

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that having Luo Ning save her grandson was necessary, after all, it was because of this Luo Ning that their family had suffered.

Thus, she asserted more confidently, "We suffered because of you, not only do you have to save my grandson, but you also have to compensate us, otherwise I will call the police."

Luo Ning realized that this family was not only vicious but also shameless.

She sneered, "Your grandson is entwined in resentment, and he’s beyond saving now."

Her words were not to deceive the old lady, they were the truth.

Mr. Liu had shown no mercy; the dry corpse had transferred all its resentment to Cousin Xi Shu, and it had been more than half a month.

Unless they used Mr. Liu’s method of transferring a healthy person’s life force to him, he would not survive the next three days.

On hearing this, Cousin Xi Shu could no longer restrain his retching.

"No, you are so powerful, and you even defeated that old dead man, you must have a way to save me," he said, staring at Luo Ning.

Luo Ning glanced coldly at him, "Not to say I can’t save you, even if I could, I wouldn’t."

"Besides being duped this time, you didn’t actually murder anyone, but you have people’s blood on your hands. This is karma."

Cousin Xi Shu’s face changed, "No, there isn’t."

Luo Ning had figured it out, "A year ago, didn’t you deceive a girl from the mountain and then accidentally suffocate her to death?"

She then looked towards Aunt Xi Shu, "This person was your accomplice; that girl was the one she helped you trick."

"Just like this time, you buried the body in a remote mountain, but this time, your aunt helped you as well."

This whole family was corrupted.

Aunt Xi Shu’s children might not have had murder cases, but they were certainly not morally upright and had done plenty of despicable deeds.

Cousin Xi Shu was terrified, only he and his aunt knew about this incident, and yet this woman had figured it out too; she was incredibly powerful.

He no longer harbored any false hopes and immediately ran over crying.

"It was all my aunt who lured the girl here, I didn’t mean to kill her, you can see it was an accident, please save me, I don’t want to die."

Luo Ning shook her head, "No use struggling in vain; you’re beyond saving."

Cousin Xi Shu, seeing Luo Ning’s resolute attitude, fearfully glanced at the two-headed snake on her wrist.

He then turned to Xi Shu and said, "Xi Shu, help me, ask her to save me."

Xi Shu shook her head in disgust, "If Luo Ning says she can’t save you, then she can’t. Stop struggling."

Cousin Xi Shu’s face showed anger, "You useless, wretched girl, you dare watch me die. I’ll have grandma and Fourth Uncle beat you to death."

The old lady dared not provoke Luo Ning but was not afraid of Xi Shu.

She charged straight towards Xi Shu, "I’ll beat you to death, you useless creature. If it wasn’t for you, your cousin wouldn’t have ended up like this."

As she approached Xi Shu and raised her hand to slap her face, Huo Rui caught her arm.

He snorted coldly, "Try to hit her and see what happens."

Xi Shu’s body trembled, but she forced herself to stand up and instead slapped the old lady twice.

She said with great satisfaction, "This is what you get for harming me and my sister. My cousin deserves to die; he turned out this way because you all spoiled him. This is the retribution for your malicious hearts."

Xi Shu used all her strength to slap twice, though the slaps weren’t very heavy, they still stunned the old woman.

After all, she was used to throwing her weight around at home and no one had ever dared to lay a hand on her.

With her hand gripped by Huo Rui, she couldn’t fight back.

So, she suddenly sat down on the ground and started crying, "What sins have I committed, to be slapped by my own granddaughter? You wretched girl, you are the one who will face retribution."

"Fourth son, oh my! Your mother is about to be beaten to death by your family’s disgraceful child," she cried out habitually.

Xi Shu rolled her eyes, "Stop shouting, my dad isn’t here, and you can scream all you want but he won’t hear you."

Her words choked the old woman, and then she started crying again, demanding that her eldest son and daughter do something about Xi Shu.

Though the two did want to deal with Xi Shu, they were afraid of Huo Rui and his brothers and Luo Ning, so they did not step forward.

The old woman was relentless, insisting that Xi Shu should find Luo Ning to cure her grandson, while her mouth spewed nothing but foul curses at Xi Shu, eventually extending those curses to Xi Shu’s sisters, and even her own son and daughter-in-law.

Huo Ye watched the old woman sitting on the ground wailing and cursing irrationally and was utterly stunned.

He was born into a rich family and had never seen such a spectacle before.

He remarked, "No wonder they say many TV dramas are based on real life, today I’ve really seen it."

Luo Ning said, "This is still a minority, there are more normal and kind people in the world."

Just then, a group of people walked into the yard.

"Luo Ning, are you alright?" The person was Han Lie from the special division, who had a good relationship with Luo Ning.

They had been in a nearby city and rushed over immediately upon receiving a call from their director.

Luo Ning shook her head, "I’m fine."

She pointed at Mr. Liu on the ground, "This is the Feng Shui Master from the Liu Family who escaped last time. I suspect there’s someone behind him; you should take him back for a thorough interrogation."

Han Lie was surprised to find out that the troublemaker this time was Mr. Liu.

"So he actually came back from the Southern Ocean; wasn’t he almost dead before? How does he still have the energy to cause trouble?"

They had been pursuing Mr. Liu before, but he had been sent to the Southern Ocean by someone else before they could catch him in Nanhai City.

At the time Mr. Liu was seriously injured and looked like he wouldn’t live much longer.

Luo Ning responded, "He was treated with a special method to extend his life and heal his injuries, so I suspect there are people behind him; you should investigate thoroughly."

Han Lie nodded, "No problem."

He then instructed the people he brought with him to take the unconscious Mr. Liu away.

He asked, "When will he likely wake up?"

Luo Ning replied, "He’s been poisoned by a snake venom; he won’t wake up without the antidote."

After saying that, she handed Han Lie a bottle, "Take this, and use it on him once you’re back."

Han Lie took the bottle, "Alright."

Luo Ning pointed at the old woman on the ground and a few others in the yard, "They are suspected of kidnapping and attempted murder and are involved with a Mystic Master from the Black Alliance; take them too."

The old woman who had been wailing on the ground was terrified, especially upon seeing Han Lie accompanied by several uniformed personnel.

She immediately got up and with a burp said, "We didn’t kidnap anyone or attempt murder, you are framing us."

Luo Ning snorted coldly, "You kidnapped Xi Shu and her sister to perform spells to swap lives for your grandson; isn’t that a fact?"
