Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy! novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23: The Ungrateful Xiao Lizi

Upon a short observation, Nanzhi could see similarities between them, making her guess these two were related.

"No! I haven't done paying the mortgage yet! You already emptied all my savings."

"So much nonsense! Just what do I tell you to?" The man grabbed the woman's right arm and squeezed it tightly, leaving marks.

Nanzhi's eyes turned sharp, and she quickened her pace.

"No! Just leave! I'm never giving you money again! Give me that phone!" The woman tried to escape and snatched the phone in the man's hand, but their strength and height greatly differ, and her attempt failed.

"I told you to shut up!" Annoyed, the man stuffed the phone in his pocket before raising his hand.

Xiao Lizi was shocked and couldn't react on time. She was expecting the pain to come, but his brother's palm stopped an inch from her cheeks.

Lifting her eyes, she saw a woman had caught her brother's wrist.

Xiao Cao glared at the woman who prevented him from giving his sister a lesson. "I'm talking to my sister. You don't have the right to butt in our business! Scram!"

"How can I not intervene when you're blocking the elevator?" Nanzhi picked up the reeking scent of alcohol from the man. She frowned.

"Why are there so many pesky flies nowadays?! I don't care! If you're in a hurry, just take the stairs!" Xiao Cao wanted to shake his hands off, but Nanzhi's grip on it is very tight.

Xiao Lizi was freed. Seeing her brother was distracted, she reached for his pocket.

Xiao Cao noticed this and pulled out the small folding knife in his pocket, brandishing it against Xiao Lizi. "Xiao Lizi, you've grown some courage to defy me!"

Xiao Lizi froze, giving up the idea, and retreated, shaking like a leaf after seeing the small knife in her brother's hand.

With a satisfied ego, he pointed the small knife at Lu Nanzhi, expecting for her to react the same way. "Let go of my hand or I will stab you with this."

Xiao Cao suddenly felt the cold sensation on his waist, and when he looked down, he saw a large bowie knife, a dozen times bigger than his pocket knife, just a centimeter from piercing him.

"Try it." Nanzhi coldly uttered. The glint in her eyes was on the same tone as the sharp blade.

When Nanzhi deepened the blade, Xiao Cao's clothes couldn't stop it from digging into his skin. He became absolutely terrified.

The small pocket knife on his hand dropped to the ground.

Nanzhi smelled an acrid scent. This drunken man actually peed on the spot. Sickened, she pushed him off, letting him drenched in his own urine.

Xiao Cao, after receiving a lease on his life, scrambled towards the exit, stumbling in the midst. Damn! I will remember this!

Xiao Lizi wanted to catch up with her brother, but he was already running towards the exit. She was afraid somebody might recognize her, so she stopped Nanzhi before the latter stepped inside the elevator.

"Why! Why didn't you stop my brother? If you stop him, I could snatch the phone!"

"Now, if he escapes and posts those pictures, it will be the end of my life! It's your entire fault!" Xiao Lizi glared in between her cries. "You should have stopped him!"

Nanzhi was speechless. Not a word of thanks, but she was blamed instead? She shouldn't have wasted her time.
