Chapter 117 What Happened To Your Face
In a hospital of JA City, Bonnie was standing outside the ward shifting impatiently from one leg to the
other. She murmured, "Where''s Terence? Why hasn''t hee yet?"
Sometimeter— Terence still hadn''t made an appearance.
"Miss Bonnie, I''ve found something out for you,"
said Burton Wang striding up to her in the corridor. Burton Wang had been working for the Huas for
many years. He was one of the people from her inner circle that she trusted to find important
information for her. Bonnie had asked him to find some information about the woman who had spilled
chili oil on her face.

"Come in,"
Bonnie said as she gestured for Burton Wang to enter her room. She took onest look down the
corridor to see if she might catch sight of Terence before she went back to the ward. But she was left
feeling extremely disappointed.
"Tell me what have you learned about her?" Bonnie sat on the hospital bed and picked up a hand
mirror. She looked at her eyes and was pleased to see that the swelling had gone down a little. It made
her blood boil when she thought about what happened at the restaurant yesterday and her anger red
again.
"The woman''s name is Ca Ji. She is twenty-three years old and she has ten-year-old brother. They
live in BH City. The reason why they are here is that her brother was chosen to study in a school of JA
City because of his good grades,"
Burton Wang spoke in a hushed tone as he handed the file to Bonnie.
She took the file and read over them for a moment.
Bonnie paid little attention to the quarrel in her family but either way, she was sure that there was no
possibility for her to get even a penny from her brothers. Hence, she didn''t know what was going on.
Another thing that she didn''t know was that Noah already had his eyes on Ca and her brother.
When she saw the photo of Ca and her brother together her brows furrowed slightly.
"It turns out that this country bumpkin is a nobody from BH City. How dare shey a finger on me! Have
you done a background check on her yet?"
Bonnie asked again.
''Why is she so arrogant? She must have someone powerful on her side to give her that sort of
confidence, '' thought Bonnie.
"I''m sorry Miss Bonnie. I''m not sure about her background. If I paid another visit to BH City now, it
would use up too much time. At present that''s all the information that I have on her for now," Burton
Wang answered truthfully. His ability was limited and it wasn''t easy for him to get that sort of
information anyway.
Bonnie threw the files angrily onto the table. Then she scoffed with exasperation, "Burton Wang, go to
the school that her brother is attending and arrange for something to happen so that her brother is
expelled from the school. I don''t care what you do I want them out of JA City.
If her brother is expelled from the school then they have no reason to stay here any longer."
Burton Wang hesitated for a moment in thought and then said, "Miss Bonnie, we don''t have much
influence here in JA City. If you want to get your revenge, why don''t you ask the Ans for help? What do
you think?"
Bonnie thought about it for a moment and then said, "Don''t worry. Just do what I asked you. I''ll take the
consequences for your actions."
"Okay!"
Burton Wang nodded and then he left
—
The following evening
in an apartment, Ca was making soup. When she heard the door open she peeped through the
kitchen door.
"Sean, are you there? Are you back from school?"
"Yeah," Sean replied thickly as he entered the room with his head hanging down.
Ca didn''t notice anything out of the ordinary. She tasted the soup to see if it needed more salt and
found that it was just right. Removing the pot from the stove she wiped her hands onto a towel and
called out, "Sean, dinner is ready. Come out of your room."
Giving the dinner table a quick wipe with the table cloth she waited for him toe out.
"Sean, did you hear me?"
Ca marched to the entrance of his bedroom and when she tried to open the door she found that it
was locked. That was when she knew that something was wrong with her brother.
She knocked hard on the door. "Sean, why have you locked the door? Come out of your room now and
have dinner with me."
She banged harder on the door and pressed her ear up against it to try to hear a sound. But Sean
refused to answer or open the door.
Ca began to feel very anxious. Then she remembered that she had an extra set of keys. Quickly, she
went to get them and immediately opened the door.
After she had unlocked the door and barged in she saw that Sean had his head down on the desk.
"Sean? What''s wrong with you?"
Ca was taken aback when she saw him like that. She tugged at his arm for him to lift his head up but
he refused.
So she knelt down to his eye level and that was when she saw his face.
Ca was so shocked that she put her hand over her mouth to stifle a cry.
"Sean, did you have a fight with someone? What happened? Let me have a better look at your face."
Seeing that her brother was beaten ck and blue Ca felt a pang in her heart. "It''s okay, Sean. I''m
your sister. Just lift your head up and let me have a look at your face."
Sean slowly raised his head and turned to face her with his eyes downcast.
It didn''t even look like him.
Sean was a good-looking boy and always had good grades. A lot of girls at his school liked him very
much. But the way he looked now, his own sister could hardly recognize him.
"Oh, Sean! Who the hell did this to you?
Tell me now Sean Ji! Whoever did this to you is going to pay big time!"
The right side of Sean''s face waspletely swollen. He had a nasty bump on his forehead and a left
ck eye.
Ca was enraged.
At that moment she was so furious that she couldn''t help swearing.
Sean kept wiping his tears away with his sleeve and spoke in a choked voice, "After school I wanted to
borrow some books from the library. On my way there I saw a kid who is younger than me. He fell, so I
went to help him up.
But then some senior students rushed over and they used me of bullying the younger kid. Then
they all started to hit me. I was no match for them so I couldn''t defend myself.
Fortunately, several minutester a teacher came out and stopped them. Otherwise, I don''t know if they
would have stopped beating me. They told the teacher that I was bullying the younger kid. But what
made me feel really mad was that the kid said—
he said that the senior students were telling the truth!
The teacher told us that he was going to report the incident to the school director. So I will probably get
kicked out of the school."
Sean then burst into tears. Through bouts of sobbing he said, "Ca, I didn''t do anything to hurt him.
I was really helping him. That''s the truth. I was hit by them. But I''m more worried that I may be kicked
out of school. What will I do if that happens?"
After Ca heard the whole story she was frantic.
"It''s obvious that they are bullying us! What was wrong with that teacher? You were attacked by senior
students. Didn''t he notice that and do something about it?"
Ca yelled feeling extremely angry at the teacher and those students. Her brother got hurt. Instead of
showing any concern for Sean, the teacher threatened to kick him out of the school. It was
inappropriate for the teacher to do that. ''That was outrageous!'' thought Ca.
" Ca, I''m not worried about those boys. I just don''t want to be kicked out. I love that school and I
really hope to have a chance to continue to study there,"
Sean said feeling worried.
Ca took deep breaths trying to calm herself down. She looked for a medicine cab but since it
wasn''t their home, she didn''t find one.
She rushed to a drugstore that was downstairs and bought some medicine.
Even though Ca gave him some medicine and tended to his cuts she was still very worried about his
injuries. She thought it would be best that a doctor did an examination to make sure that he didn''t have
any broken bones or any brain swelling.
"Hello! Where are you now?"
Ca left Sean''s bedroom and called Terence on the cellphone.
Terence didn''t stay with Ca tonight because Bonnie had asked him to have dinner at home. After
dinner, his father asked him to stay a little longer. So he decided to spend the night there.
"I''m at my father''s home. What''s the matter? Don''t tell me that you still want to return the rings. Since I
have sent them to you I won''t take them back," said Terence walking to the yard with the phone in his
hand.
"No, it''s not about that. Are you avable? Can youe here? I need your help."
Right now Ca was in no mood to talk about the rings with him. She was filled with white-hot rage.
And she was terribly worried about her little brother hoping that everything would be all right.
"Do you want me toe there now?"
Terence asked ncing at his watch. Just a few minutes ago his father asked to y a few rounds of
chess with him.
"Just tell me whether you cane here or not!"
Ca was direct with him because she was in a hurry to take Sean to the hospital and it was too hard
to exin it all on the phone to Terence.
"Ca what happened?" Terence sensed that something had happened by the tone in her voice.
Although he didn''t know what had happened, yet in his mind, he was already thinking of a reason to tell
his father why he had to leave.
Tears welled in her eyes and she sobbed.
Through clenched teeth she said, "Sean was beaten up by some senior students in his school. I am
worried about him and want to take him to a hospital.
I''m not familiar with JA City and don''t know any doctor in the hospital. So I had no choice but to ask you
for help."
Terence stopped in his tracks and said, "I''ll be there in a second!"
