The pretty girl next door found it amusing. She lived there and wasn't short of money, yet she was acting like this over such a trivial matter.
She didn't understand, but respected: "It's best to set aside five or six million as a reserve first. If the other party continues to increase its investment, we'll have to keep adding money."
Su Yuxi was so startled that she gasped, her head buzzing for a moment. She thought she had misheard, and her voice trembled slightly as she spoke: "Five...five or six million isn't enough?"
Which idiot would spend so much money to mess with her?
"No, no, I won't buy it." She said "no" three times in a row, her tone very firm and leaving no room for doubt. Spending fifty or sixty thousand is more like it, but five or six million is the minimum. Has she gone mad?
Compared to money, being scolded is not so bad.
"But things that happen online..."
"Let them say whatever they want. No matter how nasty they are, it won't hurt me." Taking money to fight online—anyone with a clear head wouldn't do that. Those gossipy online women are trying to get her to spend five or six million just by talking? Ha, dream on.
Don't let her know who it is. If she finds out, she'll tear that mouth apart with her own hands.
The neighbor knew her thought process was eccentric, but she didn't know it was this eccentric. To protect her money, she was willing to sacrifice her reputation, which was clearly a losing proposition.
She tried to reason with her again, saying that money could be earned again later, but once a reputation was lost, it was truly difficult to recover.
But Su Yuxi's attitude was very firm; she resolutely refused to give any money.
Seeing that she couldn't reason with him, she could only sigh silently.
She's said everything she could, and that's all she could do.
Su Yuxi didn't seem to need any comforting in her current mental state, so she said a few more words of concern and left.
After everyone left, Su Yuxi stared blankly into her own thoughts. In fact, during this time, not a few people came to ask her if she needed any help.
She knew those people weren't being kind; there were unspoken conditions hidden within. Compared to the online abuse, these people gave her a more direct sense of what it meant to be disgusting. They could make you understand the filth of hypocrisy just from a few words.
It also made her realize that without Lu Yunzhou's protection, she would face such a miserable social circle.
It seems she still has to thank Lu Yunzhou. If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have known that power can determine whether your eyes can see clean things.
After cursing those people's ancestors for eighteen generations in her mind, Su Yuxi got up and went into her room. After spending the night in her luxurious home, she finally made a decision.
...
"Has the person been found?"
In the dimly lit basement, the walls were dappled with light and shadow, and beams of light shone on an intricate and cold custom-made steel chair.
Fu Huaijin, who was hailed as a prodigy by the outside world, was now firmly shackled and imprisoned. His hands gripped the cold handle tightly, his knuckles turned white from the force, and the veins on his arms bulged like dragons. His shirt had been violently torn open at some point.
A terrifying aura enveloped the surroundings. They could clearly hear their own rapid breathing echoing in the air, and the violent pounding of their hearts. Everything warned them that danger was imminent.
"No." Chu Juan's eyes were sharp and deep, his face was cold and stern like never before, and his whole body was tense. After seeing Fu Huaijin's reaction, he sped up the process of attaching the instruments to his body.
After the plaster was finished, he went to the side and picked up a syringe filled with blue liquid that had a faint fluorescent glow, looking both beautiful and evil.
They didn't originally need this thing, but they were too late.
Just a month ago, Su Yuxi was suddenly exposed for her lifestyle issues. She has no social standing, gets along well with people, and has never had any conflicts with anyone. However, the online comments against her remain high, which must be due to a behind-the-scenes manipulator.
At that time, Lu Yunzhou was not in the country, Wan Qianqian was in confinement, and she was not liked by the Lu family. There were many people around her who coveted her beauty. She was in a state of isolation and helplessness every day.
The person behind it must have thought of this as well, so when the incident happened, no one helped her suppress it, and the matter easily spread online, eventually reaching the entire internet.
The person behind this is probably trying to drive someone to their death.
When they were about to make their move, Su Yuxi had disappeared.
Upon investigation, surveillance footage showed her driving to the airport late at night, eventually landing in Yun City, after which she disappeared without a trace.
He remembered their agreement and thought she might have gone back to find medicine, so he ordered people to patrol at the foot of the mountain to see if they could run into her.
Because soon Fu Huaijin will have to undergo a forced genetic mutation every six months. Each transformation will be a torment worse than death for him. The pain and suffering he endures are unbearable for ordinary people and may even threaten his life.
Su Yuxi's appearance was unexpected. He thought that since she could soothe his usual pain, could she also help him get through this safely?
But now it's all too late.
Almost a month has passed, and they haven't even found a scrap of clothing.
To be honest, they had already given up hope that she would survive.
Snakes lurk in the deep mountains and forests, venomous insects lurk, and the temperature difference between day and night is extreme. Even well-equipped and experienced explorers would find it difficult to survive for more than a week. She disappeared there for almost a month, and her body was probably never found.
He was filled with regret. At first, they had a slight idea that they wanted her to come to them for help, and then take the opportunity to negotiate with her.
Who knew she would choose to leave?
It's too late to regret it now.
Fu Huaijin stared at the ground with bloodshot eyes. He felt the cells in his body dividing, his pores expanding to the extreme, something being ruthlessly torn apart, countless ants seemingly gnawing at his body, his meridians becoming increasingly tense, his body trembling uncontrollably, and for a moment he seemed unable to feel his heart beating.
Everything that is dead, lifeless, and right before our eyes should die.
"Give...the injection...quickly." He managed to utter a trembling sound, struggling to suppress the powerful force surging within him. His consciousness was beginning to waver, which meant he was about to lose control. He needed the injection now, immediately.
Chu Juan carefully observed his reaction, heard his heart-wrenching cries, and saw his numbers rising continuously. Knowing that he could not hold on any longer, he did not hesitate to inject the medicine he had prepared into him.
His muscles were so tense that it took three needles to bend before the needle could be inserted.
As he watched the blue liquid being slowly pushed in and then quickly circulating over his body, his pain was relieved at a visible speed.
The bloodshot pupils slowly returned to normal, and the tense muscles showed signs of softening, but the pain was still palpable, just not as intense as before.
