Chapter 214 - 215: She’s About to Wake Up
"Save the tough talk. I don’t take threats from a dead man seriously, no matter how fierce they are."
Su Nian’s expression was laced with mockery.
"You... You!"
The man’s expression was a mixture of fear and shock.
He hadn’t actually wanted someone to examine his daughter; he just needed an excuse.
So when he saw it was Qing Ran, he knew her well enough. He knew she would never cooperate with him in subduing that damn money pit.
So he just cooked up a reason, claiming Qing Ran wasn’t capable, hoping to drive her away. But he never imagined that Qing Ran would call Su Nian right in front of him.
Now, his scheme had backfired spectacularly.
Forget subduing the ghost; he suspected these two might even help it kill him!
"Your daughter was destined for great things, but you are an insatiably greedy man!"
"Your own fate was already good, but you just had to have more. You wanted to live longer, so you set your sights on your own daughter. After all, she was just a girl, not a son. If she died, what did it matter?"
Su Nian said, stepping closer to the man.
"I’m... not wrong, am I?"
The man’s face went white, and he scrambled to retort.
"You... you... you’re spouting nonsen—"
But Su Nian cut him off again.
"To take her destiny, you consulted an expert. But you found out the girl’s fate was too precious. She was destined for greatness, and couldn’t be killed by just anyone."
"When you couldn’t find anyone suitable to do the deed, you decided to do it yourself. You wore a mask. At first, your daughter struggled fiercely, nearly escaping, until the mask and sunglasses on your face fell off. She finally stopped moving. She just stared with wide eyes, watching you strangle her with that savage look on your face!"
"No! No!"
The man was utterly panicked.
’He knew his daughter must hate him to death, but what could he do? He just wanted to properly Stay Alive!’
’He hadn’t wanted to reveal his identity, but... but he just couldn’t hold her down.’
’It was only when she saw with her own eyes that it was him that she finally stopped struggling.’
’After all, if her own father didn’t want her to live, what was the point of Staying Alive?’
The despair in his daughter’s eyes at that moment must have been so devastating that his conscience was now eating him alive.
Despite his panic, he feigned composure.
"I don’t know what you’re talking about! You two should leave now. The Yang Family doesn’t welcome you!"
The corner of Su Nian’s mouth curled into a faint smile. Her expression was odd, and she looked at the man as if he were already dead.
"Understood. We’ll leave right away. After all, the girl is about to wake up..."
Su Nian said with a smile, pointing toward the ceiling.
She was very beautiful, and her smile was radiant and charming—the kind that could captivate anyone.
But right now, that very smile sent a cold sweat breaking out across the man’s entire body.
He feigned composure. "Get out! Don’t think I’ll believe you just because you spouted all that nonsense!"
The security guards, who had been silently enjoying the show from the sidelines, couldn’t help but glance up at the ceiling.
’The girl who’s already dead is sleeping upstairs right now?’
’And she’s about to wake up!’
’Damn it, this is scarier than my weak kidneys!’
’Forget this job, saving my own hide is more important!’
The guards quickly reached a consensus and all took a step toward the man.
"I have a family emergency..."
"I have weak kidneys..."
"I’m busy having an affair..."
"I... I’m busy looking for a sugar mama..."
After blurting out their excuses, the men exchanged an awkward glance. But when they met their boss’s murderous stare, they all said the same thing in unison.
"Boss, I quit!"
The man’s face was as black as the bottom of a wok. He shot a glance at Su Nian and Qing Ran, who were enjoying the show, and couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
"I haven’t treated you guys poorly..."
The guards fell silent. They knew he was full of it, but didn’t dare say so.
Seeing their unmoved expressions, he added, "You’re all going to quit just because of a few nonsensical things she said!?"
Finally, the guard with the "weak kidneys" spoke up.
"Boss, my ambitions don’t lie here... I mainly just want to go home and get my weak kidneys treated..."
The man was so enraged his eyes looked ready to pop, but before he could say another word...
...a sound came from upstairs.
