Chapter 243 -243 The Gift Delivered
Zhong Niangyao glanced at the bodyguard kneeling in front of her, her face void of any sympathy, “Isn’t your master supposed to have sky-reaching abilities? Let him save you then!”

At these words, the bodyguard’s face became extremely unsightly.
He did not know what kind of methods the woman before him had used, but he was certain they were not the kind any ordinary person could possess. He understood all too well that the pain in his right hand was caused by the piece of paper just now.
If he had known this woman was not ordinary, he would never have come to stop her no matter what. Money is important, but life is more so! What use is money if you’ve no life to spend it?
“Let’s go!”
Zhong Niangyao called out to Ai Lun behind her and then strode forward without a second glance.
As Zhong Niangyao walked away, the bodyguard became desperate. He forced himself to endure the severe pain, quickly got up, and followed her. He did not know how long the pain in his body would last if Zhong Niangyao left; whether it would ever fade away.
With a smile that was not quite a smile, Zhong Niangyao said to the bodyguard blocking her way, “For offending me this time, I’ve disabled your right hand as a price. If you continue to block my way, do you have anything else you can offer as a price?”
As she spoke, Zhong Niangyao’s gaze fell upon the bodyguard’s left hand. The implication was clear—if he persisted in obstructing her, his left hand would be next.
Seeing Zhong Niangyao’s gaze, the bodyguard shivered with fear, “Miss, it’s all my fault. But I was only acting on orders. Please, show mercy and spare me just this once!”
“Very painful, is it?” Zhong Niangyao’s lips curled up in a meaningful smile, “The continual cycle of bones shattering and then knitting back together is indeed not something many can endure. Actually, there is a way to relieve your current pain.”
Her smile grew larger as she spoke, laced with mischief.
Under the hopeful gaze of the bodyguard, Zhong Niangyao continued at her leisure, “All you need to do is cut off your right hand now, and the pain will disappear. Of course, if you’re too attached to your right hand, just keep it! It won’t be of much use anymore, but at least you can look at it. I hope you can withstand that kind of pain.”
Finishing her words, Zhong Niangyao called to Ai Lun and walked away nonchalantly.
However, after just a few steps, she stopped again, turned her head back and smiled at the bodyguard, “Oh, and tell your master. Today’s incident isn’t over yet. Starting tonight, let him truly enjoy the gift I’ve sent him!”
The smile on Zhong Niangyao’s face chilled the bodyguard to his core.
Without giving another thought to the bodyguard’s reaction, Zhong Niangyao left gracefully.
After the incident with the bodyguard, the previously restless crowd quieted down.
If Zhong Niangyao had been a weak, frail girl today, they would have certainly rushed forward without hesitation to stop her. But the abilities she had just revealed were not something a mere ordinary person could wield.
Unless they were utterly confident, none dared to offend Zhong Niangyao.
Moreover, upon reflection, if Zhong Niangyao were just an ordinary woman, she couldn’t possibly have managed to purchase five raw stones and from them produce five top-grade jade pieces.
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Zhong Niangyao left the Gambling Stone Market with composure.
The bodyguard left behind felt waves of pain coursing through his right arm and struggled with his decision.
He did not have the courage to chop off his own right hand, but he could no longer bear the excruciating pain either.
With this in mind, the bodyguard drew a sharp dagger from his waist, gritted his teeth, and sliced down at his right arm.
A muffled scream of agony rang out.
Without hesitation, the bodyguard pressed his jacket against the wound on his right hand.
Though the moment he cut off his hand was acutely painful, the torment of constant bone shattering and reforming had vanished.
Before even taking a deep breath, he rushed to the hospital for surgery. If not, it wouldn’t just be a matter of losing a hand—he could bleed to death.
Originally, he could have waited to arrive at the hospital before taking such action. However, he could no longer endure the pain and had chosen to end it temporarily.
The bodyguard left, leaving a blood-stained arm behind on the ground, a gruesome sight.
Even for those in the Gambling Stone Market used to the ways of the world, such a scene sent shivers down their spines. They too reflected on the notion that the most beautiful things are often the most poisonous.
Who would have thought that such a stunningly beautiful woman could be so ruthless to the point of forcing a tough man to sever his own arm with a dagger?
Many secretly felt relieved that they hadn’t been the ones to act. Otherwise, they would be the ones in trouble now.
They all remembered the words Zhong Niangyao had left before departing.
Clearly, just punishing a bodyguard had not quelled her rage. Next, she intended to seek retribution against the person who had given the orders.
They were all curious about what kind of retribution this hidden individual would face. And did Zhong Niangyao truly know who that person was?
Elsewhere, Ai Lun, who had been following Zhong Niangyao, couldn’t hold back his question any longer, “Lady Zhong, do you know who that bodyguard’s boss is?”
He had wanted to ask for quite some time but hesitated on how to broach the subject. Now, as they were about to return to the hotel, and he would have even less of an opportunity to ask after seeing his master.
After hesitating, he decided to go ahead and ask.
“I only know he goes by the surname Kong,” Zhong Niangyao said nonchalantly, “Does it matter whether I know or not? I won’t retaliate against the wrong enemy; you can be completely assured of that.”
“Huh?”
Hearing her response, Ai Lun truly found himself at a loss for words, “Lady Zhong, don’t you think this is a bit childish? What if you’ve got the wrong person, what then?”
