Chapter 194 Selling Swords
Originally, certain judicial authorities were preparing to sentence Su Rui to death, but in view of these bigwigs’ attitudes, the case took an unexpected turn and had to be repeatedly delayed!
Neither the bigwigs nor the powerful families could be offended by the government, as both sides were equally important, and offending either would cause major problems! It could even seriously affect social stability!
But these bigwigs weren’t the decisive factor. While the government was hesitating about this sensational case, a mysterious powerful agency stepped forward.
The appearance of this agency became the decisive factor, ending all hesitation and allowing the entire incident to develop with clarity.
When the government saw the mountain of materials provided by this agency, they finally stopped hesitating, and instead of sentencing him, they simply issued a “deportation” order not applicable to citizens.
That time, Jiang Tiancang compromised for the sake of his beloved grandson. He could have fought those bigwigs to the end, but he ultimately took a step back.
Because Jiang, the old master, had also seen those materials.
After reviewing the materials and returning to the mansion, Jiang Tiancang strictly prohibited any Jiang family member from mentioning the matter again, which became a taboo in the Jiang family compound.
Many people were unwilling to give up and wanted to try again, but Jiang Tiancang strictly forbade any actions related to appeals, warning that if he discovered any, severe punishment would follow!
The Jiang family backed down, and although the other four great families were somewhat reluctant, they had to accept reality and subsequently gave up.
It was said that the former Number One Leader had given direct instructions on this matter, writing just four simple characters: “Merits offset crimes!”
Since the Number One Leader had personally given instructions, it announced the complete conclusion of Su Rui’s case.
And that extremely mysterious agency, after lifting a corner of its veil, once again disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Many people realized that this incident revealed a very serious and even terrifying issue—the true status of that mysterious agency was even above the several elders and the five great families!
Of course, to appease the emotions of the great families, the government also made a promise that if Su Rui committed another crime, neither the elders nor the mysterious agency could provide any cover or protection, and he must fairly accept legal judgment.
Although five years had passed, when Jiang Bailu recalled it now, he still felt shocked, and that feeling of shock remained vivid!
The government had made a promise to let Su Rui’s merits offset his crimes, making him an ordinary person without any elder’s protection, but the grudge of the great families hadn’t faded. Instead, it had deepened with time!
It wasn’t that they wouldn’t seek revenge, but that the time hadn’t come yet!
But his son was so foolish, just like the White family’s second son, recklessly provoking this madman! And now he was even clamoring about going to the Ye family to get even!
How incredibly stupid! Truly beyond help!
“Dad, what’s wrong?” Jiang Yihe asked hurriedly, seeing his father’s expression fluctuating.
“Slap!”
The answer was a resounding slap!
Jiang Yihe staggered from the blow, nearly hitting the wall, his cheek quickly swelling and turning red!
“Dad, why did you hit me? I’m your own son!” Jiang Yihe shouted angrily.
“You never learn, never repent!”
Jiang Bailu said angrily: “Your grandfather confined you for three days, which I think is far from enough. You are not allowed to go out for a month, and if you dare to violate this, I will invoke family punishment!”
Family punishment!
Hearing these three words, Jiang Yihe’s face filled with utter disbelief!
He knew very well what the words “family punishment” meant!
His father not only refused to support his revenge but even threatened family punishment!
His legs weakened, and Jiang Yihe slumped into a chair, like a deflated balloon!
…
The plane arrived in Ninghai at noon, and Su Rui took Lin Aoxue directly back to the Lin family estate. To avoid Wei Shuling starting her gossip and chatty mode, Su Rui didn’t even enter the door.
Now, he also had to do something very important, which was—finding a house. Having been in Ninghai for so long, he couldn’t keep living in hotels!
Lin Aoxue had suggested that Su Rui move into the Lin family estate, as there were many rooms in the villa, and it would be more convenient for Su Rui to protect Lin Aoxue’s safety. After these days together, the Lin family’s young lady no longer had any aversion to Su Rui. They had gone through several life-and-death situations together, so inviting him to live in her home was a natural thing.
Being able to spend time with a beautiful woman would certainly be nice, but when Su Rui thought about facing Wei Shuling’s extremely suggestive and gossipy looks every day, he backed out.
Thinking of this, Lin Aoxue was also extremely troubled, as her mother was becoming more gossipy with age. If Su Rui really moved into the villa, those idle rumors would be unavoidable.
Anyway, with Jin Taizhu and Holman stationed at the villa, Su Rui didn’t need to keep watch all the time, so he could have some free space.
Lin Aoxue planned to buy a house for Su Rui, as Bikang had too many assets, and the group also owned several real estate projects, but this was rejected by Su Rui, with the reason being—it would make him feel like a kept man.
Lin Aoxue was immediately speechless and never mentioned the matter again.
Su Rui returned to the hotel, packed up briefly, and then strolled out with a small bag.
And in the bag were two knives.
Guohua Pawnshop was the leading pawnshop in Ninghai. By now, the pawnshop industry had quietly risen, and Guohua had chain stores in major cities across China.
Su Rui had no intention of keeping these dragon and phoenix paired knives, as such items, like triazolam, were hot potatoes.
The dual knives ranked tenth on China’s weapons list had now fallen into his hands. Not to mention that crazy woman Nightingale would come to snatch them, others would also covet them.
Although Su Rui wasn’t afraid of trouble, he didn’t want to add unnecessary complications, so it was better to sell them quickly.
Thinking of Nightingale, Su Rui felt a bit of a headache. He could have killed this crazy woman with a good figure, but before clarifying many things, he didn’t want to cause more bloodshed. He had already killed quite a few people, and who was her sister?
If the ghosts of all those who died by his blade gathered their relatives for revenge, he wouldn’t need to do anything else in this life except wait for retribution.
Su Rui didn’t drive Lin Aoxue’s BMW, but instead requested a most ordinary Passat from the company fleet, one without even a sunroof.
He had designated this as Lin Aoxue’s vehicle, saying it was low-key. No one would think that the CEO of Bikang Group, worth tens of billions, would ride in a low-configuration Passat worth only 170,000 yuan, an amount that couldn’t even buy the tires of a luxury car.
Su Rui drove the Passat leisurely to the front of Guohua Pawnshop, saw there was only one parking space left, and was about to park when a Mercedes darted over, just managing to occupy the spot before Su Rui!
The Mercedes’ driver’s door opened, and a young man in casual clothes stepped out. This man’s face carried a hint of frivolity, and he looked somewhat disdainfully at Su Rui’s Passat, snorted mockingly, and walked in.
However, before leaving, he dropped a comment.
“With this junk car’s acceleration, you still want to compete with my Mercedes for a parking spot?”
In the mind of someone driving a million-yuan luxury car, this kind of hundred-thousand-yuan commoner’s car was indeed not worth looking at.
“How inconsiderate,” Su Rui shook his head. Such behavior of snatching parking spots was really tasteless.
Faced with such tasteless people, Su Rui always showed himself to be even more tasteless.
So, the Passat was magnificently parked sideways behind the Mercedes, with the side of the car only ten centimeters from the Mercedes’ rear. Plus, with its front facing the wall, if Su Rui didn’t move his car, the Mercedes would be trapped and unable to leave!
Every driver knows that the most feared thing when parking is being blocked in.
The Mercedes owner hadn’t expected Su Rui to pull such a move and immediately became furious, rushing down the steps: “Get out of my way! You dare block my path with a broken Passat! Do you know who I am?”
“I don’t know who you are,” Su Rui shrugged: “When you leave later, just have my car towed away.”
“Towed away? How am I supposed to do that? Damn broken Passat!” After saying this, the young man angrily looked at his watch and said: “I have urgent business now, I’ll settle accounts with you later!”
Su Rui weighed the bag in his hand and said with a smile: “I have urgent business too.”
With that, Su Rui quickened his pace and entered the pawnshop with the young man.
“Hello sir, are you here to pawn something?” The receptionist in a qipao bowed politely.
The young man glanced at the cleavage revealed by the receptionist, then sneered: “Isn’t that a stupid question? What else would I do at a pawnshop?”
Despite this impolite response, the receptionist’s expression remained unchanged, her smile constant: “Sir, please follow me this way.”
“No need, you must be new here. I’m an old customer, call your manager.”
At the mention of “manager,” a lecherous expression immediately appeared on the young man’s face.
“Alright, please wait a moment.”
The receptionist walked away quickly, but in the instant she turned around, she revealed a rather disdainful expression.
Two minutes later, a faint fragrance entered Su Rui’s nostrils, a scent that was light and not cloying, giving people a very pleasant feeling. He looked up and saw a rather charming figure.
A woman who appeared to be in her twenties, wearing a short white qipao that revealed straight long legs. Her delicate figure was perfectly accentuated by the qipao. In Su Rui’s eyes, she was a beauty who could score above 85 points.
