Chapter 742: Chapter 742: Price Hike upon Seating (4)_1

For Ruan Jiandang now, it wasn’t a difficult task after all, since he could receive a decent dividend from the restaurant every year.

Thinking this one thousand yuan could permanently stop Liao Zhaoji’s harassment, he couldn’t wait to nod in agreement, not even noticing Ruan Jianguo signaling to him from the side.

To Ruan Jiandang, a thousand yuan wasn’t much, but to the now impoverished Liao Zhaoji, it was an astronomical figure. Even though the economy had soared in recent years and everyone’s living standards had risen considerably, the man she married was incompetent, rarely bringing home a significant amount of money throughout the year.

So she thought the thousand yuan was a lot and was surprised that Ruan Jiandang agreed without a second thought. Realizing she had asked too little, she immediately changed her tone, "No, I misspoke, it’s five... it’s ten thousand!"

"Gasp." Everyone in the police station drew in a breath of cold air at her outrageous demand.

Ten thousand!

It’s a wonder she could even say it out loud.

Ruan Jiandang’s face changed immediately as he yelled, "Are you crazy? Where am I supposed to get ten thousand from?"

Liao Zhaoji, having nothing to lose anymore, pointed at Ruan Jianguo next to him, "You might not have it, but doesn’t your big brother? If he doesn’t, wouldn’t his restaurant have it?"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Jiandang’s mind went blank, a rush of blood spreading from his chest to his head, and in the next second, he grabbed a stool nearby. Before anyone could react, he seized Liao Zhaoji by the shoulder and smashed it down on her head.

No one expected him to do that, even Ruan Jianguo standing beside him didn’t have time to react. When he did, he immediately grabbed the stool from Jiandang’s hand and shoved him backward.

The stool was already smeared with blood, and a bright red flow began to trickle down from Liao Zhaoji’s forehead.

Liao Zhaoji stood there dazed, simply watching the blood slowly drip down, her eyes growing wider and wider until she let out a scream, "Ah..." and the next second, she fainted.

Everyone at the police station was in a flurry, and Ruan Jiaojiao was so scared that her eyes widened; even in the next moment, her eyes were covered by a large hand.

And Ruan Wei was shivering in the Ruanlin family’s embrace.

"Murder, murder!" the old man, who was slow to realize what had happened, yelled. He set down the child from his lap and rushed forward, trying to pick up Liao Zhaoji, but he could only manage to prop up her head because she was too heavy.

"Have you lost your mind!" Ruan Jianguo shouted at Ruan Jiandang, gripping his arm and speaking in a low growl.

Ruan Jiandang was expressionless, "If she doesn’t want to live a good life, then let’s all die together!"

"What do you mean ’die’? Look what you’ve done to Xiaowei and Jiaojiao, you’ve scared them witless!" Ruan Jianguo felt like he could kill his idiotic brother.

Ruan Jiandang was forced by him to look at Ruan Wei, and it was only then that his reason returned, aware of what he had done.

But regret was too late. Together, they struggled to lift Liao Zhaoji onto the car and took her to the hospital. All the way there, the old man kept shouting about murder, until a police officer scolded him, and he immediately quieted down.

Ruan Jiandang had struck Liao Zhaoji with the stool in a fit of rage, hitting her head so hard that it split open. Upon arrival at the hospital, she was rushed into the emergency room.

Thankfully, a nurse announced after a few minutes that there was no danger to her life, but her wound needed to be sutured, which was going to be complicated. All the hair on her head had to be shaved off, and they also needed to pay a deposit first.

The old man certainly didn’t have any money; it was Ruan Jianguo who went to pay the deposit.
