Wenxi followed the arrow and walked quickly forward to the river bend, then to the bridge over the bend, and then walked into the woods on the other side. By this time, it was completely dark, and the woods were pitch black, as if a huge monster was about to devour people.

As she walked, Wenxi heard a sobbing sound; it was a woman's voice.

Wenxi hurried over and saw in the darkness that one figure was pressing down on another in the grass. The figure underneath seemed to have lost the strength to struggle.

Without hesitation, Wen Xi grabbed a baseball bat and smashed it down on the head of the person above. With a 'thud,' the person fell to the side, while the person underneath hurriedly scrambled to their feet and tried to dodge to the side, but they were already too weak to do so.

Wen Xi took out her flashlight and shone it over. When she saw the strange man's face, she was momentarily stunned. After a while, she remembered that this was Tang Xiaoyun's husband, Liu Darong.

Looking at the girl next to her, Wen Xi was surprised to find that it was Wang Xinru.

Tang Xiaoyun is gone, and everyone knows that Liu Darong will find another wife. But Wenxi didn't expect that Liu Darong would be like a toad trying to eat swan meat, and actually went after Wang Xinru.

Could it be that Tang Xiaoyun gave him the wrong impression, making him narcissistically believe that he was worthy of all the girls in the world?

They don't even look at his age or what he looks like. How could these young girls from the city possibly be interested in him?

“Wang Xinru, how could you get involved with this Liu Darong? Are you looking for death? Don’t you know that his last wife was Tang Xiaoyun from your educated youth settlement? She was driven crazy first, and then she drowned. You…” Wen Xi was truly incredulous.

"Wenxi?" Hearing the familiar voice, Wang Xinru hurriedly crawled to Wenxi's feet and hugged her legs, crying out in fear, "Wenxi, thank goodness you came, otherwise I would definitely have died here tonight, thank you."

Wen Xi reluctantly bent down and helped Wang Xinru up, suppressing her anger. "What are you doing here?"

Since the system can issue this task, it means that Wang Xinru is a dying person. If it weren't for the sign-in system and Wen Xi, Wang Xinru would have died here tonight.

Wenxi couldn't figure out why Wang Xinru would be here.

“When I finished work, someone told me that some educated youth had fallen into the water. I thought that since they were all educated youth, I would feel bad if I came to check on them, so I came. I never expected that as soon as I arrived, this person would drag me into the woods…” Wang Xinru’s voice gradually faded as she spoke.

Because she realized that she had been deceived.

Seeing that she had realized what was happening, Wen Xi didn't say much, but just asked with a cold smile, "Will you continue to meddle in other people's business in the future?"

Even if a former educated youth did fall into the water, what does it have to do with her? Can she save them or what? What good will it do if she just comes to take a look?

Curiosity killed the cat!

Wen Xi kicked Liu Darong next to her. "What do you want to do next? If you want to report it to the police, I'll do it for you right now. If you want to keep him around and catch the mastermind, that's fine too. After all, if you don't find the mastermind, people who want to harm you will still harm you. Even if you catch Liu Darong, there will be other hooligans. So you have to catch the kingpin first."

Wang Xinru certainly wanted to send Liu Darong to jail, but she also knew that Wen Xi was right. Even if Liu Darong was sent to jail, there would probably still be people who wanted to harm her. So even if she had to send him, she would have to send Liu Darong and the mastermind behind the scenes to jail together.

But she couldn't keep Liu Darong around, lest he prey on other women and ruin their lives, or what if they wanted to end their lives like she did?

Wang Xinru picked up a stick from the ground and poked Liu Darong in a certain place, destroying his tool of crime. Now she wouldn't have to worry about him harming others.

Wenxi felt that Wang Xinru was meddling too much. In Liu Darong's subconscious, there were only the two of them tonight. If something happened to Liu Darong, it would definitely be blamed on Wang Xinru. Did Wang Xinru really think she could escape?

Wen Xi pursed her lips and didn't express any opinion. After all, she herself was quite nosy, helping people who had nothing to do with her time and time again.

Of course, she could obtain system energy, otherwise she wouldn't have made herself so tired.

Wen Xi kicked Liu Darong twice more, then helped Wang Xinru out of the woods. "Wang Xinru, go to my house and tidy yourself up before going back to the educated youth settlement. Otherwise, you'll inevitably cause a lot of trouble when you go back like this. And seeing that you're doing well, anyone who wants to harm you will definitely be anxious. They'll definitely ask Liu Darong for confirmation, which will make it easier for them to be exposed."

"Wenxi, thank you. If you hadn't come suddenly, I might have died here today. Actually, I really thought I was going to die today," Wang Xinru said gratefully.

"Now that the temperature is higher, fish and shrimp are easier to catch, so I thought I'd come to the river bend to catch some to improve my meals. I didn't expect to hear a whimpering sound coming from the woods. I initially thought it was some small animal and was even thinking of hunting it to add to my meal. I never expected it to be you guys. You really have to thank me for suddenly getting a craving for fish and shrimp today, otherwise you might really have ended up dead in the wilderness."

Given Wang Xinru's temperament, she would never allow herself to be defiled and then marry the man; she would definitely choose to die, otherwise the system wouldn't have issued the mission.

Because every mission involves someone who is on the verge of death.

Wenxi suddenly realized that it was indeed the season to catch crayfish, but the bamboo shoots were still very tender, so she suggested that the four of them break off bamboo shoots first and let the crayfish grow for a few more months. The meat would be firmer and tastier then. At this time, the crayfish had little meat and many empty shells, so it wasn't worth it.

When Wenxi returned home, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue were giving lessons to Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui. Wenxi didn't let them see Wang Xinru's disheveled appearance, but instead led Wang Xinru to the kitchen. There happened to be bath water in the pot, so she let Wang Xinru take a bath in the kitchen. After Wang Xinru finished cleaning up, Wenxi had her apply some skin cream to make her complexion look more normal, so that no one would suspect anything when they got back.

Wen Xi escorted Wang Xinru to the gate of the educated youth settlement, then turned and left. She had a weapon in her hand and was not afraid of anyone harming her.

When Wang Xinru returned to the dormitory, Zuo Qiuyi, Yang Liling, Shao Qiaoyun, Chang Hua, and Feng Xintong were all sitting on the large communal bed, still awake. Shao Qiaoyun asked curiously, "Wang Xinru, why are you only coming back now?"
