Fu Wenwen stood for a moment before realizing she was being watched. She activated her supernatural ability and saw four unusual individuals lurking in the alley, waiting for an opportunity.
They seemed to be waiting for the right moment, their auras suggesting they were no ordinary people, but rather skilled fighters.
Suddenly, there was a commotion among the new students, drawing everyone's attention as they gathered to watch.
At that moment, the four moved.
In an instant, they lunged at Fu Wenwen, brandishing a sack and intending to ensnare her from behind.
Fu Wenwen skillfully turned, causing the four to miss.
They were clearly taken by surprise that Fu Wenwen had dodged. Seeing that nearby people had not yet noticed the disturbance, the four exchanged glances and immediately pounced on Fu Wenwen again.
Fu Wenwen initially intended to take the four down but then relented, allowing them to grab her.
"We got her, let's go!" one of them covered Fu Wenwen, while another hoisted her onto his shoulder.
As they reached the alley, a car was waiting for them.
Upon seeing Fu Wenwen's face, they meticulously compared it to a photograph, confirming it was indeed her.
"Go!"
At the command, the car sped away rapidly, with Fu Wenwen squeezed between two men.
Her gaze followed the rapidly passing scenery. Half an hour later, she was taken out of Jiangcheng. The car stopped in a desolate wooded area.
"Who are you? Why did you capture me?" Fu Wenwen asked calmly, facing the five people before her.
"The little lady is quite brave, not scared?" a man appraised Fu Wenwen, a lecherous smile on his face.
"She does have some courage, but alas, beauty is destined for a short life," a man emerged slowly from the woods.
Seeing the man, Fu Wenwen smiled.
"Isn't this Comrade Liu Zihua? Weren't you in prison? Who had the capability to get you out?"
The man before Fu Wenwen was Liu Zihua. Liu Zihua, who should have been in prison, was here. Recalling Su Xiaoxiao, Fu Wenwen intuitively felt that these two definitely had someone backing them.
The five people before her were not ordinary individuals to be commanded. Coupled with the car, the ability to get Liu Zihua out of prison, and Su Xiaoxiao's capacity to attend university under someone else's name...
"Who is behind you?" Fu Wenwen looked at Liu Zihua, showing no fear.
Liu Zihua, seeing Fu Wenwen's composure under pressure, looked at her with surprise.
"You are quite bold to ask such a question."
In his memory, Fu Wenwen was so delicate, she should have been crying by now.
"I am no longer the Fu Wenwen I used to be," Fu Wenwen glanced at Liu Zihua, finding his face utterly ridiculous.
The gentle scholar in Fu Wenwen's memory had long since transformed into a calculating man.
Looking at his laughable face, she felt her past memories had been coated in lard to have such a thick filter.
"What are you talking to her about? Hurry up and complete the mission! If you mess things up, you'll be dealt with!" a man said coldly, stepping forward and warning Liu Zihua.
It seemed the five were not entirely subservient to Liu Zihua; they clearly didn't take his presence seriously.
"Just chop off her finger and send it to her husband, that should do it," another suggested, running a dagger along Fu Wenwen's hand, as if contemplating which finger would be best to cut.
"What do you want?" Fu Wenwen looked at the five. They had been here for a while, and none of them had told her what they intended to do.
"We want to cut off a part of you and send it to your husband," the man with the dagger grinned, his fingers spinning the blade rapidly.
"Can you speak plainly?" Fu Wenwen rolled her eyes at the man.
"It's because you married into the Lu family," Liu Zihua looked at Fu Wenwen with a complex expression.
"The people above ordered us to teach the Lu family a lesson with your life."
What Liu Zihua didn't say was that he himself had proposed this plan, all to win someone's favor.
Treating Fu Wenwen as a tool to appease someone.
"You're using me to lure Lu Chengsen here? And then what? Kill him?" Fu Wenwen guessed.
The men exchanged glances. Fu Wenwen was indeed clever, having already figured it out.
"Then cooperate obediently, and we'll be gentle and go easy on you, giving you a quick end."
"What if I don't cooperate?" Fu Wenwen blinked and asked with a smile.
"Then don't blame me for being heavy-handed." The man with the dagger stepped in front of Fu Wenwen, preparing to strike.
"Stop wasting words with her, Second Brother, chop off her finger!"
Liu Zihua couldn't bear to watch such a cruel scene and turned his head away.
He happened to miss Fu Wenwen snatching the dagger from the man's hand and, with a swift counter-move, a bloody gash appeared on the man's neck.
Before he could react, the man clutched his throat, speechless, and collapsed to the ground in agony.
Blood gushed from his neck, staining the ground crimson.
The instant she made her move, countless vines surged from beneath the feet of the other four men, restraining them.
The four could only watch as Fu Wenwen dispatched their comrade before them.
Fu Wenwen smirked at the four and winked.
When Liu Zihua turned back, he saw the four men tightly bound by vines that writhed as if alive.
"What the hell is this!" Liu Zihua turned pale with fright.
"Oh, I'm sorry, did my little darlings frighten you? I'll have them express their disdain for you." Fu Wenwen looked at Liu Zihua, a smile on her lips.
"Are you human or ghost?" Liu Zihua stared at Fu Wenwen, his eyes wide with terror.
"Half-human, half-ghost, perhaps!" Fu Wenwen deliberately stuck out her tongue. "If it weren't for you and Su Xiaoxiao plotting against me, I wouldn't have become this way..."
"I... I didn't harm you, it was all Su Xiaoxiao instigating me! If you have a problem, go find her!" Liu Zihua's face turned ashen, and he tried to flee.
However, a circle of vines surrounded the perimeter, and Liu Zihua dared not approach.
"Who wants to harm the Lu family?" Fu Wenwen walked up to Liu Zihua and asked.
Liu Zihua pursed his lips; he couldn't say.
"I originally wanted to have a friendly conversation with you, but it seems I was too lenient," Fu Wenwen looked at Liu Zihua's uncooperative demeanor, her patience wearing thin.
She walked up to Liu Zihua and kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying back to crash heavily against a tree trunk.
"Pfft." A mouthful of blood erupted from his mouth. Liu Zihua was severely injured in one blow.
"Wenwen... don't kill me... I'm your Brother Zihua... Wenwen..." Liu Zihua clutched his stomach, lying on the ground, muttering Fu Wenwen's name, begging her to spare him.
Unfortunately, his words made Fu Wenwen feel disgusted. What kind of person was he, calling himself Brother Zihua!
"What right do you have to call me Wenwen?" Fu Wenwen walked up to Liu Zihua and stepped on his knee.
