chapter 45 panic

Benjamin went straight to the hospital. The injury on his hand was a minor issue, but the drink he had consumed was a serious matter. Despite a stomach wash, some of the drug was absorbed, causing his private parts to swell horribly, making him worry about being ruined. "I've run into some trouble in Zhonghai. Send the assistant butler over!" Benjamin, lying in the hospital bed, commanded on his phone. The Kang Family's assistant butler, named Raymond Kang, specialized in handling shady matters for the Kang Family, ruthless and venomous, leaving no leeway. Hearing that the third young master Kang wanted assistant butler Raymond to come, many gasped in shock. Who had offended young master Kang to warrant Raymond's intervention... "Zhonghai is really lively indeed. Even the third young master of the Kang Family has suffered a setback here, and they have to call the deputy housekeeper Raymond over!" Susie said with a laugh, sitting on the sofa and painting her nails. "Huh? Raymond? He's actually coming to Zhonghai!" Cheyenn, who was sitting cross-legged nearby, opened her eyes in surprise and asked. Cheyenn, in a casual outfit of shorts and a T-shirt, her fair skin exposed, looked strikingly different from her usual martial bearing, exuding an extraordinary beauty rarely seen. Unfortunately, no man was there to appreciate this scene. Susie said with a grin: "Didn't you know? Benjamin was beaten up in Zhonghai, even had his hand stabbed with a knife!" Tara, hearing this, frowned. What trouble this brute has caused! Benjamin's background was hundreds of times stronger than that of Senior Jing from the bar, they were not even on the same level. This guy was really getting into more and more trouble! Cheyenn shook her head. She wasn't interested in wastrels like Benjamin. She was only surprised that Raymond had to be involved in this matter. Raymond, the deputy housekeeper of the Kang Family, was notorious and a sinister figure. He personally handled many of the Kang Family's dirty affairs. Cheyenn even suspected that Raymond was involved in the annihilation of a family of eighteen in the north years ago. "What if I told you that the person who stabbed Benjamin's palm was your former fiancé? Would you be interested then?" Susie asked Cheyenn, half smiling. On hearing this, Cheyenn abruptly straightened her legs and frowned, "Why would he get into a conflict with Benjamin and court death?!" Susie briefly explained what happened, making Cheyenn shake her head repeatedly. "Although he did it to protect his wife, he's too impulsive and reckless, destined not to achieve great things!" Cheyenn commented. Susie said, "Yeah, with Raymond coming in person, your cheap fiancé is probably doomed." Cheyenn snorted and said, "Yan, get my military outfit!" Tara exclaimed in surprise, "Lady, offending the Kang Family for him, is it...?" "I broke off the engagement unilaterally and feel guilty. I promised to help him with two things. Since he's too stubborn to ask, I'll take the initiative." Cheyenn said indifferently. Susie said, "You're not thinking of regretting your decision, are you? Little Dragon!" "Is he worthy?" On hearing this, Cheyenn replied coldly, making Susie feel bored. After saying this, Cheyenn's gaze involuntarily drifted towards the peak of Yunding Mountain, and she said coldly, "Even if a man were to marry me, he must be a towering figure like Drew!" Tara nodded repeatedly. In her view, Baldwin, a lazy prison guard, was unworthy of Cheyenn. "If Lady solves this for Baldwin, plus the help I provided earlier, it counts as two favors. Baldwin probably won't have the shame to bother Lady anymore!" Tara thought, then hurriedly fetched Cheyenn's military outfit, carefully attaching two glittering golden dragon stars to the shoulder straps. At the Qiao Family's place, it was now dead silent. Clyde sat on the sofa, smoking almost half a pack of cigarettes, his throat burning, but he kept smoking relentlessly. Next to him, Marisol, wiping her tears, scolded, "I told you not to marry April to Baldwin, that waste. Not only is he useless, but he also causes trouble!" "First, he offended people from the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce, then some big shot from the capital, who was originally introduced to April by Mr. Zhang..." "Lance, what should we do now? What should we do?!" Clyde, choked by the smoke, coughed repeatedly, looking at his wife with a dejected expression and sighed softly. April also glared at Baldwin, saying in despair, "Are you satisfied now, bringing doom upon our family for your burial?!" Baldwin, however, remained calm and said, "Uncle Qiao, Aunt Pang, and April, don't worry." "I'll take responsibility for Benjamin." Marisol suddenly exploded in anger, "What can you do to fix this? Do you think you're on par with the third young master of the Kang Family?" "You're just a jailer, a loathsome creature coveting what you can't have! Instead of being grateful, you bring disaster to our Qiao Family. How can there be such an ingrate like you in this world?!" "Divorce, divorce April immediately! Perhaps then our Qiao Family might have a chance to breathe!" April said in despair, "Mother, it's useless... young master Kang has already said he won't let Baldwin off, and he wants our entire Qiao Family to pay. Even if we divorce now, it's just adding fuel to the fire. Young master Kang won't show any mercy!" Having said that, her tears streamed down. She felt extremely unlucky. Just as her career was progressing, Baldwin appeared out of nowhere, becoming her husband. It would have been fine if he was just incompetent and without status... but he was also jealous, envious of Egbert's abilities, and liked to stir up trouble. Now, he had brought a calamity upon them, dooming the entire Qiao Family! "Clyde, do you realize the disaster you've brought upon our Qiao Family?!" Qiao Guodong's angry voice roared from the doorway, as he stormed in with a group of Qiao Family relatives. His daughter Vicky Qiao, also panicked and furious, yelled, "April, how could you let your useless husband offend young master Kang? We're not ready to die yet!" "Clyde, how do you plan to resolve this? I've heard the Kang Family has already sent someone, and they might have already landed in Zhonghai!" "April, as the CEO of Qiao Group, you've caused such a disaster, you should commit suicide to apologize and appease the Qiao Family's anger!" "Right, both of you should commit suicide to apologize. We'll take your bodies to the airport, kneel down, and beg the Kang Family for forgiveness. That's the only way we might survive." The Qiao Family's relatives were furious yet terrified, even suggesting that Baldwin and April commit suicide to appease the Kang Family's wrath. Marisol burst into tears. April also covered her face, her body trembling, tears flowing ceaselessly. "Ding-ling-ling——" Baldwin's phone rang at this moment. Picking it up, he saw it was Polly and, curling his lip, he decided not to answer. Polly, too, seemed ready to ask about matters concerning the Kang Family.
