Chapter 113: You Are Not In Exile You Are Clearly Traveling!
Chapter 113: Suppressing the Danger
Seeing Xu Tian's reaction, Chen Yuan became somewhat angry. While Xu Tian was good in many aspects, his heart was too soft, and his character too lenient.
"Since you asked me, then I'll handle this matter!"
For the first time, Chen Yuan appeared domineering, surpassing Xu Tian the captain, and ordered other bailiffs to find Zhao Guang and Kuang Wei.
Zhao Guang and Kuang Wei had always been very low-key, fearing that Chen Yuan would remember them and hold them accountable. So, they tried to avoid Chen Yuan's sight as much as possible. However, they were still summoned by Chen Yuan, making them extremely uneasy.
"Now, I'll leave this matter for you to resolve!" Chen Yuan got straight to the point, explaining the situation involving Zhou Ping.
"You know how to handle it, right?"
Although Chen Yuan didn't specify how to handle it, he was confident that Zhao Guang and Kuang Wei understood his meaning.
"We understand."
Zhao Guang nodded vigorously, feeling somewhat excited. Initially, he was afraid that Chen Yuan would hold him accountable, so he was very scared. But now, it seemed that Chen Yuan was just giving them a task. What did this mean? It meant that Chen Yuan didn't hold grudges against them. Instead, he trusted them. How could this not excite Zhao Guang?
He had already made up his mind. What did it matter to him if Guo Qiang was involved? It had nothing to do with him, as he was far away and Guo Qiang couldn't control him anyway. Zhao Guang had decided to throw himself into the service of Chen Yuan.
"Master Chen, rest assured, I'll take care of this matter."
Being a villain? He was very familiar with this role!
"I have no problem either."
Kuang Wei saw Zhao Guang's determination and quickly expressed his agreement. As long as Chen Yuan didn't hold him accountable, he was willing to do anything.
"Don't take lives!" Chen Yuan glanced at Xu Tian, who seemed hesitant to speak, "Give them a lesson so they won't offend again."
"Master Chen, rest assured, we know what to do!"
Watching Zhao Guang and Kuang Wei leave, Chen Yuan then looked at Xu Tian again. "Don't blame me for overstepping my bounds, it's just..."
"Sigh!"
Chen Yuan sighed, somewhat disappointed. It seemed like he didn't want to say anything more, but he still reminded Xu Tian, "If you don't want another tragedy to occur, give up those naive thoughts."
"Master Chen..."
Xu Tian opened his mouth to speak, watching Chen Yuan leave, but couldn't bring himself to say anything. He knew Chen Yuan was somewhat disappointed in him.
He clenched his fists. He knew this approach wasn't working, but he couldn't bring himself to be ruthless.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Zhao Guang and Kuang Wei, accompanied by bailiffs, found Zhou Ping and the others who were bound.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing Zhao Guang's aggressive demeanor, Zhou Ping panicked and felt a mix of anger and fear. "What do you want? Let us go!"
Zhao Guang sneered, ignoring their cries, and ordered the bailiffes to drag them in front of everyone. Then, they were pinned to the ground, their hands and feet restrained, and beaten with a stick.
While administering the beating, Zhao Guang recounted Zhou Ping's crimes to the surrounding crowd.
"Ah!"
"Don't hit me!"
"It hurts so much!"
"Help! I won't dare anymore!"
After dozens of blows, Zhou Ping and the others began to cry out in pain, as the bailiffs showed no mercy.
Zhao Guang naturally ignored their pleas. Chen Yuan had already spoken; they had to teach them a lesson to prevent them from offending again.
"Stop hitting?"
Zhao Guang sneered, "Just for killing someone, that's a capital offense! Still want to beg for mercy?"
"Keep going!"
"They were arrogant, weren't they? Let's see if they dare to be arrogant after this!"
Hearing Zhao Guang's words, Zhou Ping and the others trembled with fear. They felt like Zhao Guang was really going to beat them to death. They struggled desperately, but they were held down by the bailiffs and couldn't move.
Feeling their buttocks becoming increasingly painful, as if they were being beaten to a pulp, Zhou Ping and the others sincerely begged for mercy.
"We really know we were wrong! We won't dare anymore!"
"Bang!"
However, Zhao Guang and the others just sneered, paying no attention to their pleas for mercy.
Seeing the plight of Zhou Ping and the others and hearing their cries, the other prisoners trembled with fear. Some of them had some ulterior motives initially, but now they were all gone.
After some time, Zhou Ping and the others passed out from the pain, and Zhao Guang and the others finally stopped.
Then, Zhao Guang grabbed a few people from Zhou Ping's group and left Zhou Ping behind, leaving to report back to Chen Yuan.
However, Chen Yuan was not present. Only Chen Xue appeared, causing Zhao Guang's desire to take credit to instantly disappear.
Compared to Chen Yuan, he was more afraid of Chen Xue and her mysterious and unknown methods.
"Well done!"
Chen Xue tossed him an antidote, indicating her satisfaction. As the saying goes, kindness is often mistaken for weakness. Xu Tian's honest character had given Zhou Ping and the others an opportunity.
If Xu Tian had been as strong as Captain Sun, Zhou Ping and the others would never have dared to act recklessly. Unfortunately, Xu Tian couldn't do it.
Therefore, Chen Yuan had to rely on the bailiffs, one playing the good cop, the other the bad cop.
After receiving the antidote, Zhao Guang left excitedly, while Kuang Wei remained very low-key. He knew he wasn't poisoned; he was just being used by Chen Xue.
So, he was very clear that as long as he didn't court death, Chen Xue and the others wouldn't expose his weaknesses.
Wait a minute!
Kuang Wei suddenly realized that his weakness seemed to be related to Captain Sun, but now that Captain Sun was dead, why should he be afraid of...
He realized that he didn't need to be coerced by the Chen family anymore!
Before, he was afraid of exposing his weakness and being held accountable by Captain Sun. But now...
Thinking of this, Kuang Wei suddenly felt relieved. He looked up at Chen Xue, considering whether to turn the tables on her.
But when he thought about how most of the bailiffs now obeyed the Chen family's orders, except for him, he immediately dismissed the idea. However, now that he didn't have to worry about being coerced by the Chen family, what could they do to him?
"This is for you!"
Just as he was thinking, Kuang Wei heard Chen Xue's voice. He looked up and saw Chen Xue tossing him an antidote, identical to the one Zhao Guang had.
"What's this antidote for?"
Kuang Wei was puzzled, but then his expression changed. When had he been poisoned, and with the same poison as Zhao Guang's?
He knew how potent the poison on Zhao Guang was. He had initially been relieved that he hadn't been poisoned, but now...
As soon as he realized that he had been poisoned, Kuang Wei felt a surge of anger rising in his heart. Just as he was about to erupt, several guards approached, instantly extinguishing all his anger, like a bucket of cold water poured over him.
He quickly turned and left with the antidote.
Watching Kuang Wei leave, Chen Xue shook her head. In fact, Kuang Wei hadn't been poisoned. The antidote was just to scare him.
After all, most of the bailiffs now obeyed their orders, except for Kuang Wei. Therefore, this danger had to be nipped in the bud.
