Jiang Nuan’s speed was faster than Li Rongyao’s as she struck.
In the nick of time, Li Rongyao’s fist descended slowly, grazing the tip of Mu Jiuchen’s nose.
Mu Jiuchen’s gaze did not waver. He didn’t trust himself, but he trusted his wife.
“Crack…”
In the silent scene, the sound of bone breaking could be heard.
Everyone: “…”
Jiang Yuxin flinched. Mu Jiuchen had dodged it just like that.
Li Rongyao felt a sharp pain from beneath his armpit. The arrogance on his face instantly froze. His limbs tensed, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet.
He looked at the beautiful woman before him with fear. Her eyes were bright, her demeanor arrogant, and her beauty cold and stunning.
She was truly a beautiful woman, but unfortunately, she was all thorns.
One could only look, not touch!
Jiang Nuan’s punch shattered all his arrogance.
His pride in his abilities, his pride in his strength, was no match for this woman. His dignity lay shattered on the ground.
“You, well done. A good opponent. But with your strength, you can’t hurt me. Even with a broken rib, I can still kill you. Looking at your cold and arrogant demeanor, I want to break that coldness and see your flustered side behind it. It should be more interesting than this!”
Li Rongyao’s pained expression turned wild, his gaze becoming increasingly sinister and terrifying.
Jiang Nuan looked at him expressionlessly. “How long do you think the strength gained through medication can last?” she asked, her cold voice laced with killing intent.
Li Rongyao narrowed his eyes. “It seems you are no ordinary person.”
She knew he had taken medication and that he relied on it to enhance his abilities.
This medicine was damn effective. He could easily wring the other party’s neck.
“Today, you and your husband will die! Hahaha…” Li Rongyao burst into arrogant laughter.
This scene reminded Mu Jiuchen of Li He.
Li He had also become invincible due to medication at that time.
And today, there was another Li Rongyao. In this world, beneath high technology, biological research and drug research were terrifying things that ordinary people couldn’t see. Those criminals treated changing human genes with drugs as nothing.
It seemed this matter was closely related to Modu Technology Biotechnology Company.
A person involuntarily surfaced in Mu Jiuchen’s mind. Could it really be him?
Jiang Nuan’s expression was as cold as frost. The dark, peach-blossom eyes were filled with a deadly glint.
At this moment, someone beside them began to discuss her.
“I remember now. Isn’t this Jiang Nuan, Jiang Shuo’s daughter? I heard she left for six years. After returning six years later, she sent her best friend to prison. Within a few months, she sent her adoptive father to prison too. Her adoptive mother and sister have disappeared.”
“Is that so? This is clearly raising a viper in one’s bosom.”
“Yes, within a few months, her ex-boyfriend Mu Ye’s family went bankrupt, and it was also related to her.”
“Then this woman has quite the methods. Even Ninth Master is completely under her control.”
“Alas! She has a face that can topple cities and nations. Any man would want to give everything for her. Ninth Master is human, not a god. It’s understandable that he would bend for such a beautiful woman.”
“No way, this woman is promiscuous. If my son dared to marry such a woman, I’d beat him to death.”
The crowd chattered incessantly.
They didn’t even bother to conceal it from Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan looked at the lady who said she would beat her son to death and smiled coldly.
The lady met Jiang Nuan’s gaze and boldly said, “Jiang Nuan, you don’t allow others to discuss what you’ve done? Who would dare to marry a woman like you? Shameless, with a face like a vixen, you’ve ensnared Ninth Master. Do you have any conscience left?”
Jiang Nuan sneered, “Aren’t you discussing it right now? Also, I’m sorry, your son probably isn’t good enough for me. There’s no need to drag me and your son together.”
“Also, I am already married. Mu Jiuchen has already married me. My face has been beautiful since birth!”
The lady’s face instantly turned pale and bloodless. What an arrogant woman.
Jiang Nuan saw no need to waste words on gossip.
She had gone through all sorts of life and death situations along the way.
How could these people understand the pain she had endured back then?
She was switched at birth, plotted against by her adoptive mother, used as an antidote by Mu Jiuchen, her grandmother was angered to death, her biological parents’ whereabouts were unknown, and she had suffered all sorts of hardships since childhood. How could these people see any of it?
People are visual creatures. Everyone discusses the same things and negates a person’s entire life. Some rumors can follow a person for a lifetime and cause immense pain.
If you are not in their shoes, you can never truly empathize.
But she, Jiang Nuan, had already let go of the past. She was incredibly happy now.
They only saw her ruthlessness, but not the wickedness of others!
Who could she blame for that?
Mu Jiuchen was furious and about to curse, but Jiang Nuan stopped him.
“Don’t bother with them. Their mouths are their own, and we can’t stop them. Justice is in people’s hearts. As long as I have a clear conscience, that’s enough.”
Mu Jiuchen glared at the crowd. The few people who were gossiping lowered their heads, not daring to speak under his fierce gaze.
At the same time, Li Rongyao, having recovered from his pain, picked up a table leg from the ground and lunged at Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen.
The atmosphere instantly became tense.
A killing intent surged in Jiang Nuan’s eyes. She stood unmoving, watching the charging Li Rongyao with a peculiar gaze.
The crowd watched this scene in horror. With this blow, Jiang Nuan would surely die.
However, the next moment, before anyone could see clearly, Li Rongyao’s body flew out in a straight line.
He finally landed in front of the ladies who had been speaking earlier, tumbling a few times on the ground before stopping.
“Ah…” Li Rongyao screamed in pain, doubling over, his voice hoarse and unpleasant.
“Ah… Oh my God…” The ladies were terrified and scrambled to move aside.
The lady who had just wished death upon her son hadn’t retreated in time and had her foot grabbed by Li Rongyao.
With a violent pull, she was thrown towards Jiang Nuan not far away.
“Ah…” The lady shrieked, as if being chased by demons.
Jiang Nuan frowned slightly, recalling the lady’s earlier words but choosing not to hold it against her.
She suddenly caught the lady being thrown and placed her steadily on the ground.
While the crowd was amazed by Jiang Nuan’s strength, they were also astonished by her magnanimity. This lady had spoken the most harshly, yet she still saved her without holding a grudge.
After regaining her footing, the lady dared not meet Jiang Nuan’s gaze. She stammered a “Thank you” and quickly fled the scene.
Everything that had just happened was too bizarre.
These scenes could only be seen in movies.
Those who had been watching the spectacle now realized the genuine danger of the situation.
Jiang Nuan looked at everyone and said coldly, “If you don’t want to lose your lives, leave quickly.”
