The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

"It's all gone!" Of course, Chen Dong wasn't about to believe such a shameless lie.

He slapped Liang Jiahao again.

A few more of his teeth came loose in his mouth. Liang Jiahao didn't dare spit them out, so he had no choice but to swallow them.

He mumbled, his words slurred, "I spent some of it." Then he fumbled for a bank card.

Chen Dong snatched the bank card, shoved the man aside, and walked over to the woman from the start. "And yours?" he asked coldly.

The woman's face was a mask of misery. "My husband gave you all the money that was left. Don't hit me! I'll tell you where the rest of the money is!"

Chen Dong shot her a cold glare.

The woman shuddered in fear and quickly pointed at two middle-aged men cowering nearby. "That's Liang Jiayong, and that's Liang Jiaxue! They got a share of the money, too!"

Chen Dong saw they too were decked out in expensive watches and gold chains. He went over and stomped on each of their shins, breaking the bones.

This was with Chen Dong suppressing the fury in his heart. He only broke their bones instead of crippling them completely.

Liang Jiayong howled through the excruciating pain, "You goddamn bitch! Your son got the biggest cut—thirty million! And you're still ratting us out!"

It was clear a good chunk of the money had already been spent. Chen Dong turned to them and said, "Hand over the money. And tell me what you spent it on. Make everything clear, or you will all die!"

"We came here for a fight, we didn't bring our bank cards," Liang Jiayong said miserably.

Facing Chen Dong's grim expression, they believed him. If they didn't come clean about the compensation money today, they would really die here. One by one, they took out their phones to make calls.

The woman's voice was as shrewish and grating as ever. "Xiaofen, get over to Liang Shiyu's house right now! Just get here, cut the crap!"

Liang Jiayong and Liang Jiaxue also called their families, telling them to bring their bank cards. They didn't dare say why, just coaxed and lied, telling them something good was happening.

After they made their calls, Chen Dong decided their wailing was too loud. He jabbed each of them with a Silver Needle, using Acupoint Pressing to freeze them in place.

Before long, a group of people approached the small courtyard, chattering noisily among themselves.

"What is this dump? Forcing me to come here. I can't even get my new BMW through."

"Exactly! A place like this in the middle of nowhere... I feel like just being here is dragging me down."

"My shoes cost over twenty thousand. What if they get dirty? I'll have to buy a new pair."

The two women in the lead were decked out in gold and silver, their clothes garish. Their faces were caked in a thick layer of expensive foundation, and their heads were laden with jewelry. The effect was utterly grotesque.

Clearly, after seizing Liang Youcheng's compensation money, they had all gone on a wild spending spree, indulging in luxuries they'd never known before.

The two Liang brothers grew even more fearful as they listened to their wives' chatter.

When the group saw the scene in the courtyard, the color drained from their faces.

Chen Dong didn't bother with pleasantries. "Hand over Liang Youcheng's compensation money," he said directly. "And bring out everything you bought."

Liang Jiayong's wife snorted. "And why should I? Who do you think you are?"

Liang Jiaxue's wife was even more arrogant. "That's hilarious! Just what do you think you are? The Liang Family's business has got nothing to do with me. I'm about to divorce Liang Jiaxue, and you're trying to get money from me?"

The people behind them burst into laughter. Someone jeered, "So you're here to stick up for that wretched girl. You beat up members of the Liang Family and you're still acting so high and mighty? You should be on your knees begging for forgiveness, not asking us for money. You must be dreaming!"

"Damn it! We'll hire the best lawyers and sue him into the ground!"

Chen Dong's voice was ice-cold. "You have five seconds."

Liang Jiayong's wife, looking every bit the shrew, pointed at Chen Dong. "You little brat! Get on your knees! You beat up my husband, and you think you're the one in the right?"

"A bastard wants a piece of the money? She should be grateful to the Liang Family for even letting her live!"

"That's right! It was Uncle's compensation money; it should be ours by right! You meddling in this is just courting death!"

Five seconds passed. Chen Dong raised a cold eyebrow. He moved in a blur, and suddenly, the entire group was forced to their knees.

A series of screams erupted. They discovered they couldn't move their lower bodies at all. One moment they were telling someone else to kneel, and the next they were on their knees themselves, utterly terrified.

Chen Dong went to them one by one. "The money?"

Even through her thick layer of foundation, you could see the color drain from Liang Jiayong's wife's face. She scrambled to produce a bank card.

"It's all in here."

"How much did you get, and how much is left?" Chen Dong asked.

"There's still over eight million. I got twenty million."

Chen Dong's heart sank. In less than four days, she had blown through more than ten million.

Seeing the look on Chen Dong's face, Liang Jiayong's wife quickly explained, "I... I bought two houses, a car, jewelry, and purses... and my husband spent a lot, too..."

Chen Dong looked at Liang Jiaxue's wife, the one who was shouting about divorce. She was gritting her teeth, unwilling to hand over the money.

Seeing that she was still defiant, Chen Dong stomped on her shin. CRACK.

She instantly burst into tears. "I'm not giving you the money! Just kill me! That bastard took his share and went to keep some little mistress! I'll die before I hand over the money!"

Chen Dong clenched his fist. "Then go die."

Seeing that Chen Dong would actually dare to kill her, she hastily pulled out a bank card. "I'll give it to you, I'll give it! Liang Jiaxue and I each took ten million. I have a little over four million left..."

In just a few days, these people had spent money like it was water.

The rest of the people also handed over their money. Their shares hadn't been as large, so they hadn't spent as much.
