Rebirth of the Charming Girl in Space

Chapter 240:

Like Father, Like Son

Murong Qi nearly vomited blood after hearing it all. His elder brother's family was truly outrageous.

The Money Manager looked at Murong Qi and turned to Murong Lingran unwillingly, "He is your own younger uncle. Are you really willing to let him become a useless person for the rest of his life?"

"Not hiding anything from you, in my heart, he has never acted like an uncle." Murong Lingran spoke with extreme calmness.

Murong Xue suddenly struggled, "Wu, wu, wu... wu, wu, wu..."

"A'Ran, even if you don't care about me, think about A'Xue. She is just a girl. Can you bear to let her jump into the fire pit?"

Murong Lingran glanced at the disheveled Murong Xue and calmly said, "She is also affected by her biological father. Since you don't care, why should we outsiders be concerned?"

The crowd felt reasonable and looked at Murong Xue with pity.

Murong Xue's eyes revealed a sense of despair.

Seeing the Money Manager still hesitating, Murong Zhe said indifferently, "Go ahead if you want to take action."

"This..." Mr. Money Manager sighed, "Murong Qi, since your elder brother is unwilling to save you, I can't do anything either."

"Elder brother! Elder brother! Save me! Save me!"

Being his biological child, Murong Liang was about to speak up for him, but Murong Zong suddenly whispered something in his ear.

Murong Liang was stunned and looked at Murong Xue and his son with a furrowed brow. Then, he sighed, "A'Xue, it's my fault for not teaching you properly. Blame it on me."

Seeing that Murong Liang, as the biological father, had spoken to give up on him, sighs echoed one after another from the crowd.

It wasn't surprising that Murong Qi, who was accustomed to such behavior, would end up like this.

The loan shark money manager of the gambling den looked at Murong Qi, suddenly fell into silence.

Seeing him not making a move, Zhuang Qinghe frowned and said, "If you're going to act, do it quickly. Don't dawdle like this. Are you still a man?"

"Old Fifth..."

"Ah."

All eyes were suddenly focused on the sword in the hands of Old Fifth. He raised the knife high, looking directly at Murong Qi's legs, as if contemplating which leg to cut first.

Some villagers who had brought children along hurriedly covered their children's eyes, afraid they might have nightmares if they saw blood.

Murong Qi never expected that all the villagers would disapprove of his elder brother mortgaging the house and land.

As he looked at the knife in Old Fifth's hand, his eyes kept turning, desperately trying to think of a solution.

But after a cup of tea had passed, everyone's eyes were tired, and it was evident that Old Fifth's hand holding the knife was shaking. However, he had not swung it down for a long time.

Realizing that something was wrong, Li Zhuang said with a frown, "This is your chance. Don't miss it."

"Old Fifth, if you don't do it, I'll do it myself." the Money Manager sighed and looked at Murong Qi. "Do you have anything else to say?"

Murong Qi exclaimed, "Elder brother, please listen to them. This is the last chance. I don't want to become a useless person."

Ignoring his words, Murong Zhe pat the head of the black-furred dog with the back of his hand, and the black-furred dog closed its eyes, enjoying the touch.

Seeing this, Old Fifth's hand holding the knife trembled even more.

Just then, Old Fifth's hand, seemingly cramped from maintaining the same position for too long, suddenly started to cramp. With a sudden tremor, the knife fell directly into Murong Qi's lower leg, as it was heavy and pointed downward.

"Ah!" Unfortunately, the knife happened to be pointed downward, and it was extremely heavy. It directly pierced into Murong Qi's leg.

Old Fifth, seeing that he had really hurt someone, quickly pulled out the knife. The others who were holding Murong Qi down were also scared, and they all stood up.
