Chapter 139
As Ji Nian walked through the entrance, she was initially met with questions and resistance. But as soon as they recognized who she was, everyone became as silent as mute people, only managing to say, "Miss Ji, our boss said no one is allowed to enter."
In reality, as Ji Nian advanced, they didn't dare to stop her; they retreated like a receding tide.
Come on, she's the boss's beloved niece. Who would dare to touch her?
Moreover, she was followed by Wei Yang, a towering man who looked like a small mountain, glaring fiercely.
As a result, Ji Nian had a green light all the way.
When she entered, she happened to run into the second-in-command, who had been alerted and was rushing over.
Upon recognizing who it was, the second-in-command exclaimed in disbelief, "Ji Nian!?"
Ji Nian didn't bother with formalities and went straight to the point: "Uncle Erhao, where's my uncle?"
Hearing her address him, the second-in-command was momentarily stunned.
He hadn't expected Ji Nian to recognize him.
He and the first-in-command were twins, and they looked identical, sometimes even Chen Mo mixed them up.
It must be a coincidence, he thought.@@novelbin@@
"Ji Nian, the boss said he didn't want to see anyone. He—"
Before he could finish, Ji Nian interrupted him.
"Uncle Erhao, I know his condition."
Meeting Ji Nian's emotionless, emerald-green eyes, the second-in-command paused.
He was a bit surprised.
How did she know?
"And, I'm here to settle accounts with him."
She tightened her face and raised her arm, her small hand waving.
Wei Yang, who had been ready to strike, lunged forward and subdued the second-in-command.
At the same time, the people Ji Nian brought with her also rushed forward, entangled with the Chen family members trying to help the second-in-command.
Ji Nian took advantage of the chaos to run upstairs.
The second-in-command was caught completely off guard: "What's going on? You—"
He twisted his body to dodge Wei Yang's kick.
The kick missed and landed on the floor, creating a large crater, making it hard to imagine what would have happened if it had landed on his body.
“What? Didn’t they teach you during Vengeance training not to space out while fighting?” Wei Yang grinned menacingly at him.
Hearing this, the second-in-command froze as if struck by lightning, staring at him stiffly.
...
On Ji Nian's side, despite the lack of guidance, she smoothly found Chen Mo's location.
After all, the house wasn't large, just two floors, and while the first floor looked ordinary, the second floor was carpeted, giving Ji Nian a strong intuition that Chen Mo was here.
Originally, Chen Mo was about to take medication, but upon hearing the faint commotion downstairs, he paused.
What's going on?
Before he could verify, his room's door was slammed open with a 'bang'.
Chen Mo reflexively reached for the gun under his pillow, only to sadly discover that his fingers couldn't move.
He let out a bitter laugh.
Alas.
Even if Death himself came, he was powerless to resist.
Fortunately, what came wasn't Death.
Instead, it was a small girl, marching in furiously.
Seeing who it was, Chen Mo's pupils contracted suddenly, and his seemingly paralyzed body trembled in surprise.
Seeing Chen Mo's surprised expression, Ji Nian maliciously snorted coldly.
She wanted to say something spiteful.
But as she approached and saw how Chen Mo looked now, she couldn't utter a single word.
Just a few days ago, Chen Mo looked fine externally, but now, in such a short time, he had lost a significant amount of weight.
His pale face was full of a gloomy aura, his eye sockets sunken, and his dark eyes, bathed in moonlight, were dull and lifeless.
He was clearly in a state of one nearing death.
This was different from what Ji Nian had predicted.
Why was Chen Mo's condition so severe?
Chen Mo's gaze followed her movements until the child stood by his bedside.
"I know you sent someone to kill Father, and Wei Yang was poisoned because of you too."
Hearing the child's words, Chen Mo's gaze faltered for a moment.
Then, sadness flowed in his eyes, as if apologizing.
Ji Nian continued.
"If I had known before you came to the Ji family, I might not have called you uncle."
"The person who deceived you is very bad, but my father and Wei Yang were even more innocent."
"Father bled a lot and lay in bed for a long time to recover, unable to drink his favorite wine."
"Wei Yang almost became a helpless idiot who couldn't control his bodily functions. When he first got poisoned, although he didn't show anything, I heard him secretly wiping his tears."
"Uncle, you did a lot of bad things."
Ji Nian called him softly, lowering her eyes to look at him.
Chen Mo thought this might be the last time Ji Nian would call him uncle.
He closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them to see Ji Nian pulling out a syringe from somewhere, extracting some green liquid, without resisting.
He just sighed to himself, Nian Nian is really smart, so young and already knows how to use a syringe.
When I was her age, I could only play with the toy syringes in the doctor's kit.
"So, I'm going to punish you."
She brought the sharp needle close to Chen Mo, her childish voice cold and merciless.
Chen Mo gazed at her with a soft look, as if saying: Do whatever you want.
Being killed by Ji Nian seemed more pleasant than taking medication myself.
However, such a dangerous thing, Ji Tingzhou's pharmacist actually let a child so young carry it around. If possible, I really want to educate them properly.
I digressed...
Before I die, although I couldn't avenge my sister, seeing Ji Nian is also good.
Chen Mo closed his eyes.
Allowing Ji Nian to sterilize his arm, he then felt something cold pierce his flesh.
One minute later.
Chen Mo thought: The potion isn't instantly lethal.
Two minutes later.
Chen Mo thought: My body suddenly feels warm, this potion is indeed 'gentle', is it because the child wants me to die easily?
Three minutes later.
Chen Mo thought: If I could get the formula, it would sell well abroad, letting people feel like they're back in the womb, immersing in amniotic fluid before they die.
Four minutes later.
Chen Mo thought: It's too slow, I feel like I need to use the restroom.
Five minutes later.
Chen Mo finally sensed something was off and slowly opened his eyes.
Ji Nian was still standing there, and seeing him open his eyes, she asked, "How do you feel?"
"......Not bad?"
After saying this, Chen Mo was stunned himself.
He hardly could speak, how could he suddenly start speaking again?
This wasn't even the biggest shock. His hands, could he actually move them?
If he didn't realize something by now, Chen Mo would deserve to swap his head with his behind.
"Nian Nian, what did you give me?"
He moved his fingers in disbelief.
Although they weren't well-controlled yet, moving after being unable to do so for so long was amazing in itself.
Ji Nian crossed her arms, raising her chin in a rather cold manner, not answering Chen Mo's question but saying, "This is my punishment."
"Punishing you to live well."
"To make up for those you've hurt, and to apologize to them."
Chen Mo's eyes unexpectedly reddened, as if struck by something heavy, making it hard for him to speak for a long time.
Then Ji Nian continued: "Also."
"You didn't get sick."
"It's poisoning."
What do you think?
