The Wealthy Eldest Sister Rules Supreme

Chapter 625: Chapter 612: No Martial Virtue

She had silently switched the lamp oil with water, which meant that Zhuang Qingning had noticed his abnormal behavior long before, hence she made preparations early on.

“When did you realize that something was wrong with me?” Ge Wu ground his teeth.

He had planned this for a long time, from the moment he entered the workshop, had been recognized for his good work, and even in normal days, he was loved by many people because of his sweet talk. Ge Wu felt that he had done everything perfectly, and there should not be any loopholes.

“You’ve played it very well, very efficient at work, very honest in your speech, very like a man working hard to earn money for marriage.” Zhuang Qingning laughed, “But it’s because you talk too well, it makes people feel suspicious.”

It was normal for ordinary working people to have clumsy speech, but if one spoke too carefully, it might make people suspicious.

Ge Wu’s face subtly changed, and he argued gritting his teeth, “So many people were working, why would you specifically talk to me?”

“When I passed by you, I smelled lamp oil on you.” Zhuang Qingning said, “And the smell was very strong, probably because you accidentally got it on your body while checking the lamp oil stored in the workshop.”

“There is cotton everywhere in this textile workshop, the yarn spun, the fabric woven, even the spinning wheel and loom are made of wood. These things are most afraid of fire. Lamp oil can burn, which naturally caught my attention.”

Zhuang Qingning raised her eyebrows, “Tell me, why do you want to destroy this textile workshop? Is it because you are dissatisfied with your wages, or someone is instructing you from behind?”

“Today you’ve seen through me girl, I admit I capsized in the ditch, I admit defeat.”

As for wanting to know more, that was wishful thinking.

Ge Wu sneered at Zhuang Qingning’s arrogance. In the middle of the night, she dared to rely on herself to catch him. He sneered, raised his foot, and walked outward.

Zhuang Qingning also let out a cold laugh, “You want to leave just like that? That’s too easy for you.”

With that, Zhuang Qingning reached out to stop him.

“I want to come, I want to go, I…”

Before the word “go” could be said, Ge Wu flew out like a sandbag, and only stopped when he hit a tung tree in the courtyard.

The pain in his chest came immediately, tearing at his lungs. Judging from this situation, his ribs should have been broken.

Ge Wu endured the severe pain and struggled to get up from the ground. He looked at Zhuang Qingning who was slowly retracting her leg back with disbelief, a gradual horror surfacing on his face.

That Zhuang Qingning, who usually looked like a lady and scholar, was actually a martial artist with immense strength, and also very ruthless.

Ge Wu felt that his fighting skills were nothing in front of Zhuang Qingning. A frontal confrontation with her was simply a dead end. Seeing that the door of the workshop was wide open, an idea suddenly came to him.

“What are you standing there for? Why don’t you deal with this bitch?” Ge Wu shouted at Zhuang Qingning, acting in a state of rage.

It seemed that he wasn’t the only one there, but he had an accomplice.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Hearing this, Zhuang Qingning looked up and looked around.

And Ge Wu took advantage of this moment when Zhuang Qingning was distracted, endured the pain, and run toward the door.

However, when he got to the door, a fishing net fell from the sky, and then several people rushed out, tied Ge Wu up tightly, and brought him back to the courtyard.

“You, you, you…” Ge Wu gasped in shock, “Bullying by numbers!”

Unsportsmanlike!

“You bastard!” The man who tied up Ge Wu couldn’t bear to listen anymore, and he punched Ge Wu in the face, “You’re exactly the kind of villain, do you expect others to treat you with justice?”

“A person like you should be beaten half to death. It serves you right. Stop blabbering.”

A few companions shook their fists indignantly while complaining.

Ge Wu didn’t dare to say anything at this time, his eyes were red as he looked at Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Yutian, “Anyway, I won’t say a thing!”

“Hey, you’re still stubborn at this point, you are really asking for death!” A man said to Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Yutian, “Shop manager, don’t bother arguing with this guy, let’s take him to the government office and throw him into the prison, let’s see if those prison guards can untie this bastard’s tongue!”

“Why bother?” Zhuang Qingning breezily said, “Just make a cut on his arm and sprinkle some honey on it.”

“Others usually sprinkle salt on a wound and make it hurt. What does sprinkling sugar mean?” Zhuang Yutian asked a little confused.

“It’s still hot now, and ants are everywhere. Sprinkle some honey on the wound and throw it on the ground. The ants will definitely smell it and come, then…”

Zhuang Qingning didn’t finish her sentence, but just looked at Ge Wu with a smiling face.

Ge Wu looked at the ferocity hidden within her smile and thought of ants crawling over his body, biting freely on the bloody wound, he couldn’t help but shiver just thinking about it.

Those companions also felt particularly cool tonight.

“You are using vigilante justice. You will be punished!” Ge Wu shouted.

“How could it be?” Zhuang Qingning scoffed, “The wound was left when you were discovered trying to harm someone, and we desperately resisted. As for the honey, it was originally placed in the courtyard, waiting to be put in green bean soup for everyone tomorrow. As for throwing it on the ground, if you don’t throw it on the ground, do you want to hang it in the air?”

“Moreover, if you set fire deliberately, even though the purpose is to destroy this weaving workshop, the autumn wind is strong and the weather is very dry now. If the fire burns, it will definitely not only destroy the weaving workshop, but may also endanger the houses next door.”

“Are you thinking that if you go to the County Government Office, Mr. Xu will believe your words, or do you think he will believe us?”

Ge Wu’s face turned white immediately.

“Speak up, if you confess honestly, we will hand you over to the County Government Office and let Mr. Xu deal with you. But if you refuse to speak, don’t blame us for being ruthless.”

“Whether you want to live a death worse than living or want to get relief soon, it depends on whether you think your life is important or it is more important to protect those behind you.”

From what Ge Wu has said and shown, he didn’t seem to have any hatred for the workshop, most likely someone had instructed him to do this. Finding out the person behind him was the most important thing at present.

“Not talking?” The man looked at Ge Wu who seemed not to intend to speak, and said, “Then bear with the pain later.”

With that, he went to find a knife.

“Talk, I will talk…”
