Chapter 357: Xue Family Plays Tricks and Lends a Hand (1)_1
"Grandfather Li, you need not blame yourself; let’s first clarify the situation before jumping to conclusions," Mo Yan consoled him. Without clear evidence, she would not vent her anger on anyone, even though it seemed like the Zhang Family’s attempt to set the fire was caused by a personal vendetta with the Li Family.
Lizhong nodded dejectedly, had Wang Ironhead temporarily close the shop, and then followed Mo Yan into the back room, where the Zhang Family mother and son were temporarily detained.
Upon opening the door, Mo Yan saw the Zhang Family mother and son sitting on the cold ground, their hands and feet tightly bound, their hair disheveled, and their mouths gagged with a cloth, looking quite pitiable.
When the Zhang Family mother and son saw them entering, their faces filled with fear, followed by a violent struggle. Hu family’s eyes brimmed with ferocity, and she made muffled noises that seemed like threats.
Mo Yan let out a cold laugh, pulled out a Rib-tickling Dagger from nowhere, and walked slowly towards the Zhang Family mother and son. The sharp edge of the blade reflected a chilling, ghostly gleam in the light, causing the mother and son to shiver with fear.
Brandishing the knife immediately frightened not only the Zhang Family mother and son but also caused Lizhong to jump. Just as he was about to step forward to stop her, Mo Yan’s glance froze him in place.
As Mo Yan approached with clear malice on her face, the Zhang Family mother and son felt a profound terror. The fierceness previously seen in Hu family’s eyes vanished, and she instinctively shrank back, pressing herself against her son.
Mo Yan was pleased with their reaction, wielded her dagger with a flourish, and roamed it near their necks, finally resting it against Hu family’s throat.
To deal with such craven people, hard measures were necessary.
