Chapter 111 The Power Won't Last Long
Everyone was speechless and stared at the two of them nervously. The smell of the liquid wafted out, and Du Ruoxia frowned.
"Disgusting!" she said, pinching her nose in disgust.
"I was wrong, I will never do it again, please let me go!" Old Mrs. Zhao pleaded for help, kneeling on one knee.
Chen Jianping looked at her with a complicated expression. Seeing that the situation had become like this, he winked at Du Ruoxia.
Du Ruoxia remained unmoved and continued to speak coldly, "I'm telling you this now: even if the King of Heaven himself came, I wouldn't save you!"
She was saying this to Chen Jianping. Whether he was testing her strength or genuinely wanted to help the child, she would not compromise.
"I won't save you anymore, I don't want you to save me!" Old Mrs. Zhao pleaded, waving her hand.
"No, it's good that you're exchanging your life for your grandson's. Weren't you going to commit suicide? This is a perfect opportunity to exchange your grandson's life for yours," Du Ruoxia coaxed Old Lady Zhao.
Grandma Zhao shook her head, crying, "No, I don't need you to save him anymore, he's beyond saving!"
Du Ruoxia grinned. "Tch, boring!"
She threw the knife in front of Chen Jianping and then turned to walk back, his face turning ashen.
Yang Zeyan gave Wang Hu a wink, and Wang Hu immediately followed Du Ruoxia's footsteps.
Du Ruoxia returned to her bed from Old Lady Zhao's place and continued eating sunflower seeds. Wang Hu, who followed her back, couldn't help but admire her mental fortitude.
"Comrade Du, your unconventional approach is truly remarkable!" Wang Hu said admiringly.
Du Ruoxia smiled calmly, "There's nothing remarkable about it. It's just that they took advantage of Old Lady Zhao's selfishness and fear of death. That's the kind of person they're only good at using!"
Wang Hu smiled but remained silent at Du Ruoxia's words. Some people think that what is commonplace is something that others would never think of in their entire lives.
“Now that this has happened, you need to consider the situation you will face when you go to Beijing.” Wang Hu looked at Du Ruoxia seriously and said, “Section Chief Zhao is not simple.”
"I tolerated their first confrontation so that I could resolve the matter once we got to Kyoto, but it happened again and again. It shows that they're just being unreasonable, and we shouldn't tolerate them. I think Commander Yang feels the same way."
"Director Zhao will not let this go easily after losing such an important pawn. As for who he is working for, we will soon find out."
"You need to be careful!"
Du Ruoxia looked up at Wang Hu as he opened and closed his mouth. His voice was very calm, but none of the things he said were ordinary.
"So, according to you, the person behind him will make trouble for me?" Du Ruoxia frowned again.
Wang Hu frowned and nodded, "As for which one, I haven't decided yet. I'll let you know when the time comes."
In fact, Wang Hu had a theory in mind, but since there was no actual verification, it was not appropriate to tell Du Ruoxia.
Du Ruoxia let out a long sigh, "This is just endless trouble."
Wang Hu glanced at her indifferently, "What you should be thinking about now is how to meet the elders of the Yang family tomorrow."
He thought Du Ruoxia's sudden visit would be like a thunderbolt, especially for the Sheng family member, but knowing Du Ruoxia, he figured she wouldn't suffer any losses.
"We'll meet force with force, and we'll deal with water with earth, taking it one step at a time!" Du Ruoxia said, her lips pressed tightly together, though she was still a little nervous.
"Your Yang Group probably needs to handle some things, I still have time to prepare." Du Ruoxia still held onto a sliver of hope.
Seeing that she thought this way, Wang Hu didn't say anything more, because some things can't be planned in time for changes.
When Yang Zeyan returned, Du Ruoxia had already forgotten about Old Lady Zhao; she had already eaten a pile of sunflower seed shells.
He watched as Du Ruoxia leaned against the back of the carriage and sat down. He took her hand and examined it carefully. There was a thin wound on Du Ruoxia's hand.
Du Ruoxia awkwardly withdrew her expression, "Oh dear, there are always mistakes when doing this for the first time. I won't do it again next time!"
Yang Zeyan had an "I knew it" look on his face, and then pulled her over and touched her with a pained expression. "Why didn't you wait for me to make a move? I clearly had a chance to do it."
He accepted the messages Du Ruoxia sent him several times back then; he underestimated Du Ruoxia's courage!
Du Ruoxia replied awkwardly, "I just didn't like her and wanted to teach her a lesson. Of course, you can do that too, but that's only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. I want her to remember this lesson."
Yang Zeyan nodded in agreement, "Yes, she will never forget this. What would I do if something happened to you?"
Du Ruoxia was stunned. She really hadn't thought about this question. At the time, she was really disgusted by Old Lady Zhao and just wanted to teach her a lesson.
"I'm confident in my abilities. I also subdued the Xu family before," Du Ruoxia said calmly.
Yang Zeyan sighed, "Wife, girls tend to be a little more dependent on men."
Du Ruoxia immediately realized that she had challenged their male pride, something she had forgotten.
She immediately explained, "I will definitely pay attention next time and won't make things difficult for you!"
Yang Zeyan sighed helplessly and leaned against the back of the carriage to look at Du Ruoxia.
"You've offended Chen Jiwei today; you'll have to watch out for the Chen family in the future."
Yang Zeyan's words reminded Du Ruoxia of a question. She took Yang Zeyan's rough hand and looked around. "Yang Zeyan, did that Chen Jiwei send me over there to test me?"
After thinking for a few seconds, Yang Zeyan nodded. "There's a high probability that there was another way to do this, and he wanted you to save the child."
Du Ruoxia scoffed, looking at the scenery disappearing behind the train, and said seriously, "That child, there's hope if a celestial being comes, but I really can't save him."
Yang Zeyan patted Du Ruoxia's head. "I know, everyone has their strengths, and you're not omnipotent."
Du Ruoxia returned a smile. In her previous life, the family members did not have this understanding and always pushed the responsibility onto the doctor, leading to more and more medical disputes.
"Yang Zeyan, thank you!" Du Ruoxia said sincerely.
Yang Zeyan smiled gently, "There's no need for thanks between us."
Du Ruoxia was deeply moved; she had truly struck gold.
However, she quickly thought of another question: "What is the status of the Chen family in Kyoto?"
After a moment's thought, Yang Zeyan gave a fair reply: "The older generation is of great importance, the current generation is not a threat, and the next generation is dispensable."
Du Ruoxia realized that they could still use the connections of the older generation, but the younger generation was not promising enough, so there was no progress.
"You don't need to care about that old lady from the Chen family. She's just using her past glory to show off. Her power won't last for many years," Yang Zeyan added.
Du Ruoxia nodded, "Hopefully we won't run into them in Kyoto."
Yang Zeyan didn't answer. Wang Hu's eyes flickered as he looked away. He would most likely run into him in Kyoto.
"I'm going now. If you need anything, have Wang Hu contact me." Yang Zeyan said before getting up and leaving.
Du Ruoxia looked at the sky and decided to rest, but Wang Hu seemed to have something to say to her.
"Comrade Du, if you have something to say but don't know whether to speak or not," Wang Hu finally spoke up.
Du Ruoxia said calmly, "If I don't know, then I won't say."
