Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Third Brother’s orders helped them regain some courage as they remembered all the people they had had to face in the past. However, they had underestimated the martial prowess of Cui Si. No matter how many of them went up, they were sent off like a bunch of ants flicked off a table.

The number of men left standing slowly decreased until only two of them remained.

“Hey, don’t come any closer. Third Brother has a gun and he can kill you anytime.”

One of the remaining men threatened Cui Si and Li Leyi while holding a knife.

After observing everything that had just happened, Third Brother turned to Chen Lin and said, “Didn’t you say that they would just be trash? If you hadn’t paid me so much, I wouldn’t even have bothered to come!”

The moment he was done talking, Third Brother quickly turned to run. He knew that he could not defeat Cui Si. His underlings saw what he had done and made a run for it too.

Cui Si had no plans to go after them. They were just a bunch of hired gangsters. She had nothing personal against them.

She walked towards Zhang Mengmeng with anger in her eyes. She had trusted her!

Zhang Mengmeng saw the look in Cui Si’s eyes and took a few steps back as she started to regret her decisions.

“Leave. I don’t want to see you again, Zhang Mengmeng!”

The only thing holding Cui Si back was her memories of their time together in university.

Zhang Mengmeng heeded and quickly ran out.

Chen Lin and Zhang Cuihua also wanted to escape, but Li Leyi stopped them. They were the main culprits. How could they be allowed to escape?

“Look, if you let me go, I’ll give you a large sum of money. Name your price. I’ll even let you follow me.”

Zhang Cuihua was confident when she spoke. She did not believe that there was anyone who would not be tempted by money.

Li Leyi laughed coldly. He had never lacked money!

“Cui Si, look at how this woman is talking to me. Help me teach them a lesson.”

Cui Si turned to Chen Lin and asked a question she had long wondered about, “Chen Lin, you dumped me and slept with a rich woman. And I’ve accepted it. So, why are you still targeting me?”

Chen Lin let out a laugh. Wasn’t it all because of Cui Si herself?

“Cui Si, why are you still pretending? You are obviously rich, yet you pretended to be so poor when you were with me. You made me think you’re a miserable person that I had to sell myself to this woman. Do you know what kind of torture I have to suffer every day?”

When Zhang Cuihua heard Chen Lin’s words, she instantly exploded.

She had spent so much money on him and treated him so well, yet he claimed that she was torturing him? Was he lying when he told her that he loved her?

“Chen Lin, I dare you to say it again. I’ll make sure you will not walk out of here alive.”

Zhang Cuihua was about to pounce on him but Chen Lin was no match for her.

Cui Si looked at the strange couple disapprovingly.

Zhang Cuihua grabbed Chen Lin’s head and kept hitting it to the ground. Soon, Chen Lin’s face was covered in blood.

Despite witnessing what a bloody mess he had become, Cui Si did not show any signs of sympathy. She turned around and walked out to call the police.

Li Leyi had thought that Cui Si was going to let them go. But he quickly realized that she just didn’t want to deal with the situation herself and get her hands dirty.

…

Early the next morning, Cui Si was woken up by the sound of messages coming in on her phone.

The university group chat seemed to be in an uproar. The messages kept coming as if something extraordinary had happened.

When she opened up the chat, it was news about Zhang Mengmeng.

Zhang Mengmeng had been tortured to death. Cui Si was shocked by this news. Didn’t she let her go alive and in one piece?

Perhaps this was the legendary retribution for evil. All of this had nothing to do with her.

But people in the group kept asking if Cui Si knew anything. The group knew that Cui Si and Zhang Mengmeng were close.

But Cui Si didn’t know what to answer. So, she decided to ignore everyone and start a new day. The past was the past, and it had nothing to do with her.

Cui Si found all the magazines in her house with a worried look on her face.

She didn’t know what the system would give her today, and she didn’t lack anything at the moment. What a dilemma.

“System, can you tell me what good things you will give me today?”

[…]

[Ding dong! The host’s skin is too thick, unbinding…]

Cui Si frowned. What was wrong with wanting to know in advance? This d*mn system.

Despite her dissatisfaction, Cui Si still apologized.

“Dear System, I’m just joking.. Why are you so serious all the time?”
