Chapter 267 - Everyone Was Shocked

At that moment, Xue Zixi was utterly shocked!

She had initially thought Jiang Hao was merely bluffing to intimidate Jia Renyi.

But seeing Jia Renyi's condition, it was clear he wasn't faking.

Did that mean everything Jiang Hao had said was true?

The memory of Jiang Hao's description of that ticklish and itchy pill sent shivers down her spine.

Wasn't such an outcome excessively cruel?

And wasn't the medicine disturbingly peculiar?

Yet, alongside her admiration for the enigmatic Jiang Hao, a newfound reverence took hold in her heart.

Despite her deep disdain for Jia Renyi, the Jia Family's power meant she had to endure.

So, she had silently approved of Jiang Hao's decision to discipline Jia Renyi.

But if Jia Renyi were to come to harm under her watch, she feared the Jia Family would retaliate.

Torn by her thoughts, Xue Zixi found herself feeling sympathetic.

“Mr. Jiang, could you possibly find it in your heart to forgive him?”

Jiang Hao gave Xue Zixi a look, pondered for a moment, then glanced at Jia Renyi writhing on the ground and spoke.

“Since Miss Xue has interceded on your behalf, I will extend her this courtesy.”

He produced a tiny black pill from his pocket, pinching it between his fingers.

“While the death sentence may be avoided, punishment is inevitable!”

“Therefore, you'll only receive half of the antidote.”

He crushed the pill, parting it, and downed one half with the tea before him.

Then, holding the remaining half between two fingers, he squatted down to face Jia Renyi.

“Take it.”

As Jiang Hao extended his hand, Jia Renyi snatched the antidote and popped it into his mouth.

Jiang Hao seemed indifferent, taking the time to explain.

“This half will lessen your suffering somewhat, and you won't die.

But you'll need to endure for three more days before the effects of the itch-inducing pill fully subside.”

With that, Jiang Hao stood up, effortlessly hoisting Jia Renyi as if he were no more than a rag doll.

“Miss Xue, I apologize for the scare!”

“I should be on my way. I'll dispose of this trash for you. No need to see me out.”

With those words, Jiang Hao, as nonchalant as ever, carried Jia Renyi out of Xue Zixi's office.

Jia Renyi continued to scratch at himself and scream, drawing the attention of onlookers.

?Their shock was palpable when they recognized the captive in Jiang Hao's grasp.

“Holy smokes, isn't that the Jia Family's second son?”

“Wow, this guy's intense!”

“This young man has just made an enemy of the Jia Family!”

……

Opinions on Jiang Hao's bizarre actions were split; some applauded while others simply shook their heads in disbelief.

Xue Zixi watched Jiang Hao walk away with Jia Renyi, her face etched with complexity.

Once outside the Heavenly-Mansion Tavern, the odd pair caught the eyes of many bystanders, who stopped to gawk.

Jiang Hao nonchalantly dropped Jia Renyi at the roadside. He then climbed into his car and drove off with a cool detachment.

Curious onlookers gathered around the disheveled Jia Renyi after Jiang Hao's departure.

Those who recognized him gasped in recognition.

“Yikes! Isn't that the notorious second son of the Jia Family?”

“Damn, what happened to him?”

“Who was that guy?”

……

The revelation of Jia Renyi's identity caused quite a stir.

Eventually, a good Samaritan called an ambulance and reached out to the Jia Family to inform them of the situation.
