After the call ended, Liu Kaiyan put her phone away.
Fang Ye asked, “Who was it?”
“Wang Hao.”
“What’s up with him? Something urgent?”
“A friend came to the house, and Dad’s not around. I just told him to take good care of the guest and not to be negligent.”
“Mm.” The man didn’t suspect anything.
At that moment, Fang Liuliu returned with her milk tea.
The family of three got in the car and drove off.
Twenty minutes later, the Porsche stopped in front of Chunfeng Hotel.
Liu Kaiyan and Fang Liuliu got out and retrieved the luggage from the trunk.
Fang Ye parked the car and walked over.
The couple accompanied their daughter to the front desk to check in.
Before leaving, Fang Ye took out a card and handed it to his daughter. “Even though it’s just five days, take good care of yourself. Don’t skimp on things where money should be spent.”
Fang Liuliu looked down at the card—an unlimited one!
She jumped up and hugged Fang Ye. “Thank you, Daddy! I love you so much!”
Fang Ye doted on her with a smile. “Now that you’ve made it into the selection, treasure the opportunity. It’s rare. Only if you grab it tightly can it become a stepping stone for your rise, understand?”
“Mm! I’ll definitely get a good score!”
“Then we’ll go now.”
“Wait, Dad—”
“Mm? Something else?”
“Um…” Fang Liuliu twisted her fingers. “I want to talk to Mom alone for a minute.”
“Alright, I’ll sit in the lobby for a bit.”
Fang Ye turned and walked away.
Fang Liuliu dragged Liu Kaiyan to a corner and couldn’t wait to ask, “Mom, has Uncle Wang Hao found her?”
“Mm.”
“That’s great! I have to make that little b*tch pay!”
Liu Kaiyan frowned. When did her daughter start using words like “little b*tch”?
“Mom, I want…” She bit her lip, hesitant.
“Spit it out, don’t mumble.”
Fang Liuliu clenched her teeth. “If possible, it’d be best to ruin that out-of-town girl’s face.”
Liu Kaiyan’s brow twitched. “You—”
“She dared say I’m ugly! How can I bear that? Everyone says I look just like you—Grandpa even says we’re like twins from the same mold. If she says I’m ugly, isn’t she calling you ugly too?”
“Hah, that out-of-town girl’s got guts! Alright, I’ll tell your Uncle Wang Hao—just don’t kill anyone. Anything else is small stuff.”
“Thanks, Mom! You really love me the most—I love you so much!”
“Cut it out. Why didn’t you say that when you took your dad’s black card?”
“Heehee, I love you both!”
“You little rascal! Alright, go back to your room. We should leave too.”
…
Meanwhile, in the same Chunfeng Hotel, Jiang Fuyue had no idea that danger was creeping toward her.
After returning from outside, she took a shower, changed into sleepwear, drew the curtains, and laid down for a nap.
She slept until 4 p.m.
Feeling thirsty, she got up to find water—only to remember the convenience store hadn’t delivered her bottled water yet.
Just as she was about to call and ask, there was a knock at the door—
Knock knock knock!
“Who is it?”
“Convenience store. Water delivery.”
Jiang Fuyue opened the door. “Just leave it by the wall.”
“Okay.”
The man bent down to set down the water, but in the next second, he suddenly turned and charged at her.
Jiang Fuyue’s gaze sharpened. She dodged instantly.
The attacker missed, then slowly looked up, eyes full of malice.
“Who are you? What do you want?!”
He said nothing and lunged again.
Jiang Fuyue dodged once more, moved behind him, and kicked hard at the back of his knee. Then she slammed him into the wall.
Bang!
A dull thud echoed. The man was forced to one knee, head pinned against the wall.
Jiang Fuyue: “Who sent you?!”
The man remained silent, trying to struggle.
Her eyes turned cold. She grabbed his head and slammed it into the wall—hard.
Thud! Thud!
The man felt his skull tremble, ears ringing, vision darkening.
“Speak or not?!”
He clenched his jaw.
Jiang Fuyue smirked—and slammed his head even harder, as if about to crack his skull open.
The pain made the man scream in agony.
She ignored it and continued.
The man never imagined this young woman would be so ruthless!
Her grip, her control, her blows—none were things an ordinary person could manage.
Clearly, he’d messed with the wrong one today.
“Still not talking?” she sneered by his ear. “Alright, let’s see if your head’s harder than this wall.”
His eyelids twitched.
The next blow was even heavier.
“Ahhh—!”
The man screamed.
Agonizing pain shot through his skull. His whole body spasmed.
Even after all that, he hadn’t passed out!
Just as she was about to strike again, he finally couldn’t take it—
“I’ll talk!”
Jiang Fuyue paused. “Who?!”
“It’s Wa—”
Suddenly, another figure burst into the room and struck toward the back of Jiang Fuyue’s neck.
She had to let go and dodge aside.
The intruder seized the moment to grab the battered man and flee.
Jiang Fuyue chased after them, only to see them leap from the window.
She rushed to the window, leaning out just in time to glimpse two silhouettes merging into the crowd and vanishing.
“D*mn it—”
