Chapter 11: Brother Snake's Anger

Upon returning home, Chu Muyue caught the rich, savory scent of cooking, and a sweet, happy smile couldn't help but tug at the corners of her lips.

"Dad, I'm home!" Chu Muyue called out as she lowered her head to change into her slippers.

"You're back!" A middle-aged man wearing a slightly yellowed and stained apron walked out of the kitchen, a metal spatula in his right hand and a smile on his face.

The middle-aged man was none other than Chu Muyue’s father, Chu Zhiming. He asked with concern, "How was school today? Is there any part of you that feels uncomfortable?"

Chu Muyue shook her head, placed her schoolbag on the sofa, and walked toward the kitchen. "No, I'm fine. Dad, you can rest easy. My body has already recovered; otherwise, Master wouldn't have let me go to school!"

Regarding the incident with Hong Yushi, Chu Muyue had never told Chu Zhiming that she was the one who had pushed her off the cliff, and naturally, she wouldn't tell him about what happened at school or after classes today either.

"Dad, let me help you!" Chu Muyue rolled up her sleeves and said with a smile.

Chu Zhiming hurriedly stopped her. "Go, go, go, go sit on the sofa. You are still a patient. As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to recover from a bone injury. I can tell that it won't be fully healed for a year or so. It’s only because your Master’s medical skills are so good that you recovered this quickly, but your body is still very weak. You should go sit down; I can handle the rest!"

Chu Muyue looked at Chu Zhiming, feeling both amused and helpless. "I'm already fine!"

Unable to refuse Chu Zhiming’s care and good intentions, Chu Muyue had no choice but to turn around and head to her room to study. She still hadn't finished memorizing the books her Master had assigned her!

At this moment, Chu Muyue was naturally unaware of what was happening in a somewhat old, small courtyard house.

Snake-ge, a gang leader with his chest bared, looked even more ferocious and terrifying as the python tattooed on his chest seemed to writhe with his anger. Listening to the report from Red-Hair and the other thugs who had been beaten to the ground by her, the murderous aura radiating from him grew increasingly heavy.

"Useless trash!" Snake-ge kicked out fiercely at Red-Hair, sending him sprawling to the ground.

In Snake-ge’s mind, no matter how capable Chu Muyue was, a little girl shouldn't have been able to withstand the combined attack of several of his subordinates. The fact that they failed their mission meant they were useless.

Moreover, Red-Hair and the others had relayed Chu Muyue’s words, telling him to behave himself—this was a blatant slap to his face!

This matter must have already spread. How could he continue to be the gang leader of this district? He would surely be mocked by his rivals now.

If he actually listened to Chu Muyue, how could he continue to be the boss of these people in the future?

"Chu Muyue, good, very good!" Cold, icy light flashed in Snake-ge’s eyes, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips. "Originally, I just wanted to teach you a little lesson, but since you are so unappreciative, don't blame me for being ruthless! You lot... come here..."

After all, it was only Hong Yushi who had asked him to do this. He had originally thought that such a small matter could be handled by his subordinates, but he hadn't expected to encounter someone like Chu Muyue.

Chu Muyue did not know that because of her threat, Snake-ge had become even more enraged, determined to finish her off even without Hong Yushi’s involvement.

However, even if she had known, she would not have felt any fear, nor would she have regretted her actions.
