C14 She Was a Traitor
A group of bodyguards clad in black swiftly filed out from behind the hall. Within seconds, they were all sprawled across the floor of the Mo family's grand hall. They hadn't even come close to Shen Qinghuang before all eighteen assailants took them down. In fact, the only ones who had engaged in combat were the two individuals standing at the rear of the group, closest to the back of the Mo family's hall.
"You! You two!" Mo Shuiyun stared at them, puzzled as to why they would assist a woman like Shen Qinghuang, whom she considered a bitch. Weren't they members of the War Department? Shouldn't Commander Lau's subordinates follow only his commands? Yet, the combat uniforms they wore unmistakably identified them. Had Commander Lau instructed them to protect that bitch? No matter what, she refused to believe it. Shen Qinghuang was nothing more than a woman the Mo family had discarded. What could possibly make her so esteemed by Commander Lau? Was it solely because of her exceptional combat skills?
With a whoosh, another armored vehicle approached in the distance. The door swung open, and Lau Feng, with a stern, battle-hardened expression, stepped out. He had ultimately decided to come and see for himself. The Mo family was a source of concern for him, particularly after learning about the entanglement between Shen Qinghuang and the family. He was even more concerned that the Mo family might do something foolish. It was one thing for them to dig their own grave, but he was adamant about not being dragged into their mess.
"Commander Lau!" Mo Xingyun, with a smile plastered on his face, hurried over to Lau Feng, who was now in front of the hall. "Commander Lau, you must take our side!" He pointed at Shen Qinghuang and exclaimed, "This woman not only injured my elder sister but also beat up so many of our Mo family's bodyguards. This incident, occurring in Ling City, is tantamount to a slap in your face!"
Lau Feng's expression turned grim. A slap in his face? This was precisely the situation he had dreaded. He regretted coming here. And now, Mo Xingyun expected him to advocate on his behalf? Did he truly believe that Shen Qinghuang's title of Seven-star High Level Commander was attained through her looks? She had clearly risen through the ranks by stepping over the bodies of countless fallen enemies.
Forget about slapping his face; if Shen Qinghuang desired, he'd gladly offer his face for her to step on!
Upon noticing Lau Feng's furrowed brow, Mo Xingyun assumed he was deliberating on how to punish Shen Qinghuang.
With a smug look, he surveyed the mingling guests and said, "Commander Lau, don't be upset. Considering she's a woman, just break her arms, that should suffice!"
Lau Feng's face twitched. Break Shen Qinghuang's arms?
He wouldn't dare, not even if he were braver!
"No! She's made me suffer like this. At the very least, her limbs must be broken, and she must be cast into Sin Valley to beg!"
Mo Shuiyun was hopping mad. Merely breaking arms was letting Shen Qinghuang off too easily!
And how could he confidently claim the title of the Commander's wife if Shen Qinghuang wasn't driven away?
Meanwhile, Shen Qinghuang cast a sidelong glance at Lau Feng, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.
"Commander Lau, did you not hear them? They want my limbs broken," she said.
Lau Feng, momentarily dazed, quickly snapped to attention. "Yes!"
He turned and strode towards Mo Xingyun.
*Crack! Crack!*
*Crack! Crack!*
"Ah!"
As the sound of bones breaking echoed, Mo Xingyun collapsed to the ground like a discarded puppet.
"Lau Feng!" Mo Xingyun's face contorted with severe pain, his emotions getting the better of him. "Are you truly willing to oppose the Mo family for one woman?"
In that moment, he was convinced that Shen Qinghuang was Lau Feng's partner; why else would Lau Feng defend her so vehemently?
"Mo Xingyun, it's not I who is opposing the Mo family, but rather the Mo family who is challenging the sovereignty of Dragon Country!"
To insult and threaten a Dragon Country High Level Commander was tantamount to treason!
