Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Crying for Father and Mother
A glint of cold light flashed in her eyes. Then, her delicate hand lightly lifted, grabbing and flicking at the hands reaching toward her, and the sound of bones cracking instantly echoed out.
Immediately, screams of agony erupted from the thugs, their expressions twisted in pain.
As the Jiang Family Parents saw the thugs about to succeed, they had already closed their eyes, unwilling to witness Jiang Xue’s impending torment.
So, even upon hearing the first scream, they still didn’t open their eyes, though their hearts bled.
It wasn’t until the screams continued one after another that they realized something was amiss. They opened their eyes and looked again at Jiang Xue beneath them.
When they saw Jiang Xue standing her ground while the thugs around her clutched their arms, screaming miserably in defeat, their eyes widened.
Their daughter was unharmed! This was wonderful!
The Jiang Family Parents rejoiced, but Jiang Mingzhu and Cheng Li couldn’t share their joy. Neither had seen how Jiang Xue had acted; they only heard the screams and their faces grew somber.
They had thought that this time, surely Jiang Xue couldn’t escape. They even had a camera ready, intending to capture Jiang Xue’s ordeal, but didn’t expect such a rapid reversal of fortune.
Jiang Xue was unscathed, yet each thug was crying out in pain, calling for their parents.
Their gazes were as if poisoned, looking at Jiang Xue with her proud defiance and unmatched grace, their expressions worsening.
"Cheng Li, didn’t you say Jiang Xue was easy to deal with?" Jiang Mingzhu looked at Cheng Li in displeasure, questioning her. Had she known Jiang Xue was so hard to deal with, she would have sought tougher characters.
The most infuriating thing was that Cheng Li didn’t make it clear to her, causing her to arrange this event for nothing, not only failing to harm Jiang Xue but losing her own people.
"I, I didn’t know how Jiang Xue suddenly became so formidable. I told you, ever since she had a child, she became odd. I’ve tried several times and failed." Cheng Li spoke with grievance, for she hadn’t anticipated Jiang Xue being this powerful, resolving ten thugs in an instant.
Moreover, the most frustrating part was that she hadn’t seen how Jiang Xue made her moves.
"Useless!" Jiang Mingzhu cursed at Cheng Li, then shifted her gaze to the Jiang Family Parents. Fortunately, they still had a trump card, so they weren’t afraid Jiang Xue wouldn’t comply.
Jiang Mingzhu then turned her head, telling Cheng Li, "Shout to her, let her know that we have her parents."
Cheng Li nodded, then shouted to Jiang Xue below, who was about to ask the thugs if they knew where her parents were, "Jiang Xue, we have your parents. If you know what’s good for you, obey our commands, or don’t blame us for being rude."
Jiang Xue had long sensed someone watching her, but previously surrounded by thugs, she didn’t dare get distracted. Now, hearing Cheng Li’s voice, she looked in the direction it came from.
When she saw Father Jiang and Mrs. Jiang with their mouths gagged, and bodies bound, her expression darkened immediately, saying, "Cheng Li, if you dare harm a hair on my parents, I will make you regret ever coming into this world."
"Jiang Xue, do you think I’m afraid of you? You see this Miss Jiang beside me, she’s the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. Do you think you, a village girl, can contend with the eldest daughter of the Jiang family? Dream on."
"So, if you know what’s good for you, just obey our orders. Now, do as I say."
