The other party hung up the phone and then offered to come see her, without even asking where she was. After hanging up the phone, Shi Zirui suddenly laughed and without hesitation returned to "home", the compound.
The relatives were all there, and seeing Shi Zirui return, they only reacted briefly. While not everyone was a gossipy bitch, nor did everyone have a grudge against her, it was clear that everyone was distancing themselves from her.
She was not allowed to sit at the table to eat because of the family's inherited customs. This was also the case with many other female members of the family. The reason they did not talk to Shi Zirui was because they felt that she was not like a woman from their world.
Coupled with the bribery of Wang Kai's men, the attitude of this family member became even more indescribable.
Differences and barriers made Shi Zirui feel like she didn't belong anywhere. She had gotten used to it and was fed up with it, so she decided to take revenge.
Shi Zirui had also made up his mind that when he saw the real culprit, he would kill him first and then die after that.
I hope Wang Kai is really as terrifying as the rumors say, and will execute the nine clans of the family.
......
......
Half an hour later, the streets were filled with the noise of cars, horns, and shouts. Someone roughly smashed open the bolt of the courtyard gate, and more than a dozen people filed in, shocking everyone. Only Shi Zirui remained calm. He held the razor blade wrapped with several layers of paper towels in his hand tightly and applied force quietly.
After his men had dealt with the offender and were silent, the leading man looked around the yard and then locked his eyes on Shi Zirui. He walked up to her and stared at her without saying a word. After a while, he stretched out his hand, spread it into a palm, and held it in front of her.
Shi Zirui froze for a moment, then sighed and handed over the blade in his hand.
The man's face was filled with sternness, but his attitude was surprisingly calm. His men brought a chair over, and he sat down across from Shi Zirui. He said, "In our area, when someone says they're going to stab someone, they usually don't do it. If you're going to do it, you have to make sure no one can see you're preparing."
Shi Zirui shook her head. She was a scholar from the countryside, and the only thing she had ever killed was a chicken. How could she know all these intricacies? She asked, "Are you Wang Kai?"
"No, my last name is Li, Li Ze. Many people in Wanghai should have heard of me."
"I just came back from out of town, so I'm not familiar with the ins and outs here. Please forgive me," Shi Zirui said calmly without any awe. "It's quite interesting to think about this. I called someone named Zhang, and the person I spoke to was named Wang. But the person who came to see me in the end was named Li."
Looking at the calm Shi Zirui, Li Ze suddenly smiled and said, "Because I'm relatively close to Wankang City, it would normally only take me ten minutes to get to you, but it took me a while to prepare a gift for you."
"Should I be more optimistic and think this is really a gift?" Shi Zirui said.
"Of course," Li Ze snapped his fingers and said, "We have many drivers like the one who sent you to Wanghai that day. They may not work directly for me, but they are indeed the ones I put out there. I am recruiting talents and I am eager to find them. As long as you are valuable enough, I can help you solve your problems.
So, it really is a gift.”
Immediately afterwards, Shi Zirui saw two or three people carrying a man into the yard and throwing him heavily in front of her. The man was tied up and gagged. He looked very weak and didn't even have the strength to twist or struggle.
When she saw the man's face clearly, Shi Zirui almost screamed out loud, because the other person was her nightmare, Ren Haomiao, who almost ruined her entire life.
She couldn't understand what was happening in front of her, and said with difficulty: "What does this mean? I don't understand, he is not you..."
"Do you think he's one of ours?" Li Ze sneered, "If he were one of mine, I would have him find a place to kill you. I wouldn't have spent so much time tracking you down like he had nothing better to do, using some boring tricks and thinking he was so awesome.
Even if I were to bribe you, it wouldn't take just that little money."
"Well, I still don't quite understand," Shi Zirui said. "What do you think of my worth that would warrant your bothering and mobilizing so many people?"
"It's just a piece of cake," Li Ze smiled and kicked the man lying on the ground, saying, "He and his boss stole the business we were going to do, so it's just a matter of course.
"And in my opinion, both he and the boss behind him are idiots. They're stealing our business with such a small, low-profile business, and making a mere Wankang City's worth of money. It's ridiculous."
"And what makes me most angry is that they don't see your value."
Li Ze paused, then said, "See the slogans on the wall? If we follow our strategy, we can push these slogans from Wanghai to the whole country and make money from everyone. And you will be responsible for endorsing us and making the article appear more authentic and convincing."
Shi Zirui fell silent, realizing that she was unconsciously driving the tiger to devour the wolf. After the wolf left, a more ferocious tiger came.
She had a conscience and morals, and she was unwilling to aid the evildoers. However, regardless of the threat, when Shi Zirui looked up and around, seeing the expressions of fear, speculation, and a touch of flattery on those people's faces, Shi Zirui felt a ripple in her heart, and a strange sense of pleasure.
It should be stated that Shi Zirui thought that what she felt at that moment was the pleasure of turning over a new leaf, or the pleasure of making those she had looked down upon suffer. It was not until later that she realized that this pleasure had nothing to do with these worthless things.
Shi Zirui tightened her clothes and said inexplicably, "I will not sell my dignity."
