Chapter 1309: Chapter 1309: In a Good Place
The middle-aged man watched as the young man was thrown into the sea without a hint of discomfort on his face, as if he were merely tossing a stone into the water.
Jian Dan also understood why that Mr. Hong had ended up that way. With such a father, how could he possibly turn out well?
"How about it? You’ve just seen it for yourself!
But don’t think you can die that easily. You dare to lay a hand on my son, I will make sure you suffer a thousandfold before you die, to appease my son’s spirit in heaven!"
"You think your son is dead?" Jian Dan couldn’t listen any longer and stepped out of the car.
"Jian Jian, your leg hasn’t healed, get back inside!"
"What did you just say? Say it again!" The middle-aged man turned his gaze toward Jian Dan.
"I’m curious, why do you think your son is dead?"
The man’s brows furrowed. It was the man he had thrown into the sea who had told him that before he escaped, he heard the people inside saying they wouldn’t be able to leave.
He often said such things himself, so naturally, he understood what it implied and thus naturally assumed his son was dead.
"Where is my son now?"
"He~ I found him a good place!"
"Speak, where is my son now?" The patience of the middle-aged man was obviously wearing thin.
"I, of course, know where he is, but I just don’t want to tell you!" Jian Dan looked at the man provocatively, as if asking to be hit.
"Good! Then let’s see just how tough your mouth really is." He motioned to someone behind him with a wave of his hand, and a man with a gleaming machete walked over. "If you don’t talk, I can’t guarantee that your lover will still be breathing in the next second," the middle-aged man said with a toothy, yet joyless smile.
Jian Dan, instead of showing the expression the man wanted to see, wore a trace of mockery, "Oh? How would you know what will happen in the next second? Maybe things won’t go as you wish."
"I see that without showing some true colors, you don’t know fear!" The middle-aged man gave a knowing look to the armed man.
Understanding the cue, the man approached Chu Liyuan with the knife. Just as he swung it toward Chu Liyuan, Chu Liyuan didn’t even blink. At the last moment, Chu Liyuan stepped back, grabbed the man’s knife-hand, flipped it, and the knife slid from his grasp; Chu Liyuan caught it precisely, and in the next second, a finger from the man’s hand flew off...
The man clutched the severed finger and howled in agonizing pain.
The middle-aged man watched this scene with a flicker of surprise in his eyes but didn’t show it.
Jian Dan, however, watched the middle-aged man with an I-told-you-so expression, "Didn’t I just say that we never know what might happen until the next second arrives?"
"You do have some skill, no wonder my son was defeated by you.
But I and my son are not the same, you’ve messed with the wrong person." The man glared at Jian Dan menacingly.
"How coincidental, I was just about to say the same thing to you!"
"Ha ha ha! Excellent! It’s my first time encountering someone who dares to speak to me like this to my face."
"You’re really fond of stealing my lines! I was just about to say that too!"
"If you don’t tell me where my son is, I really will have to be rude to you!"
"As if telling you would make you treat us any better! We saw what happened to that man just now with our own eyes."
"I can assure you, just tell me, and I can let you go!"
"I don’t want to tell you because I think the place your son is now is much more suitable for him!" Jian Dan said, raising an eyebrow.
In fact, Jian Dan and Chu Liyuan had not done much to those people, just sent them somewhere else. As for Mr. Hong, there happened to be a small monastery on the mountain by the guesthouse, with only an abbot and a novice monk. They just happened to send Mr. Hong there.
What even Jian Dan didn’t expect was that after sending Mr. Hong there, he actually grew to like the place and directly chose to become a monk, taking the tonsure. The extent of this transformation was so sudden that even Jian Dan was a bit taken aback.
But it was a good thing, after all. The world gained a devout monk and lost a troublesome rich young master.
