Chapter 4149 The Crime Is Not Punishable By Death
His greeting was grand and respectful as he raised both hands high then kneeled down slowly and rested his forehead on his hands without getting up. Feng Jiu had just woken up and although she had freshened up, she still had a sleepy look on her face. Her yawning paused for a moment and her eyes narrowed as she leaned against the handrail of the stairs lazily and looked at the middle-aged man who was kneeling on the ground. Having seen his Master pay his respects in such a grand manner, the middle-aged man behind him hurried forward and knelt down respectfully beside him. “Chu Xiong?” She asked lazily, she pondered quickly, then looked at the man who was kneeling at the stairs. She was about to ask him who he was when Du Fan walked out of his room and came up behind her. “Master, he is the owner of the Black Market.” Du Fan said, the fan in his hand fanned the wind gently whilst his eyes were fixed on the person kneeling below. “Oh? The owner of the Black Market?” Feng Jiu raised her eyebrows and looked at the person below, then asked: “What are you doing here?” As she spoke, she walked down the stairs step by step.

….
Chu Xiong panicked when he heard her words and said: “Ghost Doctor, I am here to seek your forgiveness. I didn’t discipline my subordinates well. Please forgive me, Ghost Doctor.”

Feng Jiu walked past him and came to a table on the first floor and sat down. She said slowly: “It’s normal for the Underground Black Market to do some secret businesses, but I can’t stand this kind of kidnapping and selling women business, especially when you made a move on my people.”

Chu Xiong’s forehead had broken out in cold sweat as he listened to her words. He felt a strong pressure suppressing him, as if he was about to be crushed to death as long as she willed it. He didn’t dare to breathe. He held his breath and his heart tightened. Even though the other party’s tone was casual, he was still frightened. He said immediately: “Ghost Doctor, I really didn’t know about this matter. In the future, I will definitely keep an eye on my subordinates and make sure that they don’t commit the same offence again.”

After the innkeeper and the waiter served the dishes and wine, they retreated respectfully, not daring to look at the two people who were still kneeling on the ground. Feng Jiu poured herself a glass of wine and took a sip, then after a long while, she said: “Go back! Keep a close eye on your people. If they dare to commit the same offence again, and I find out about it, I won’t let you off as easily as I did this time.”

“Yes, yes, thank you Ghost Doctor. I will make sure I keep a close rein on my subordinates so that they will never commit the same mistake again.” He said hurriedly. After he felt the pressure that was covering him had dissipated, he took a breath then stood up and retreated, leaving quickly with his men, not daring to stay any longer. Du Fan sat down next to Feng Jiu and asked: “Did Master spare their lives because we cleared out their Black Market warehouse?”

Feng Jiu smiled and said: “This is just one of the reasons. The second reason is that he didn’t try to kill us and came to ask for forgiveness. No matter what he was thinking, since he dared to come and ask for forgiveness, then his crime is not punishable by death. What’s more, we don’t have a deep grudge with him. Killing four of his Elders and clearing out his Black Market warehouse will serve as a lesson for him.”

Over the years, she had witnessed too many things, and her personality had changed. Sometimes, some things, and some people, were not punishable by death, and she was willing to spare their lives and give them a chance.

Upon hearing this, Du Fan smiled and said: “At least he is sensible.”

“Tell Leng Shuang and Feifei to come down and eat with us! We will be leaving shortly.”
