Chapter 108 Jealousy Burns, Murderous Intent Rises
Su Yuting's room.
"Bang--!"
With a crisp sound, an elegant blue-and-white porcelain vase was thrown hard to the ground, shattering into pieces.
A shard of porcelain shattered, one of which grazed her ankle, leaving a thin trail of blood, but she felt nothing.
Su Yuting's chest heaved violently, and her once pitiful face was now distorted by jealousy and anger.
We lost.
She actually lost.
We lost to that idiot Su Wantang!
No, that bitch!
On what grounds?
She, a reborn person who holds the destiny of the next few decades in her hands, was actually overthrown in this remote and impoverished place by a cannon fodder who should have died long ago, with just a few broken pictures!
science?
Screw science!
The resentment in Su Yuting's eyes was almost tangible.
The "fortune teller" persona she painstakingly cultivated, and her power to control people's hearts, shattered more completely this afternoon than shards of porcelain on the ground.
The way those foolish employees looked at her had changed.
From fervent belief, it turned into contempt and skepticism.
If things continue like this, forget about revenge, she'll even have a hard time staying on this farm.
It's out of control.
Everything is out of control!
Su Yuting gasped for breath, her full breasts heaving up and down.
After the initial fear subsided, a surge of frenzied killing intent welled up from the deepest recesses of his heart.
Since prophecies don't work, and we can't win through open schemes.
Then let's flip the table.
Then... kill them all!
Barefoot, she stepped over the mess on the ground and walked to the earthen bed. From a hidden compartment under the mat, she pulled out a heavy iron box.
Upon opening the box, a military telegraph machine was revealed inside.
She skillfully connected the wires, put on the headphones, and her fingers flew across the keypad.
Beep, tick, beep beep...
The cold radio waves pierced the night sky, carrying her undisguised murderous intent, and reached a secret outpost lurking dozens of kilometers outside the farm.
"Target: Atractylodes macrocephala."
"To cause a car accident on the only road."
"If an accident doesn't work, take action immediately. Leave no survivors."
After sending the telegram, Su Yuting turned off the machine and restored everything to its original state.
She walked to the window, looked at the dim yellow light of the guesthouse in the distance, and suddenly laughed hysterically.
"You can't beat me, none of you can beat me..."
"I am the chosen one!"
...
Inside the guesthouse.
Bai Zhu sat at the table, holding a farm topographical map in her hand, her fingertips tapping lightly on the surface.
Lu Jingyan sat opposite her, not saying a word, just looking at her openly and honestly.
Su Wantang got up, poured two glasses of water, and handed one to Lu Jingyan.
The cool, aloof aura that belonged to "Bai Shu" would dissipate somewhat when there were only the two of them, revealing a hint of Su Wantang's weariness.
"What are you thinking about?" Lu Jingyan took the cup, his fingertips intentionally or unintentionally brushing against the back of her hand, his voice low.
Su Wantang calmly withdrew her hand and walked to the window.
"nothing..."
Lu Jingyan walked behind her, his tall figure completely enveloping her. Looking at her profile, his gaze was so intense it could burn.
Su Wantang felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze and cleared her throat.
"I'm going out for a bit to finalize the details of the greenhouse with Director Zhang."
“I’ll go with you,” Lu Jingyan said immediately.
"Need not,"
Su Wantang turned around to meet his gaze, her face displaying the businesslike demeanor befitting Bai Shu.
"This is an internal matter of the Tangdi Group, so it would be best for Commander Lu to avoid any appearance of impropriety."
“And,” she paused, then added.
"I'm just a weak woman. Who would dare to eat me on this farm?"
Lu Jingyan looked at her seemingly calm peach blossom eyes, a mischievous smile flashing in his eyes.
He didn't call her out on it, he just nodded, "Okay, then head back early. It's dark and the roads are slippery."
"Um."
Su Wantang picked up her coat, opened the door, and went out.
Only after the door closed did Lu Jingyan's smile completely vanish, and his eyes became deep and thoughtful.
He picked up his coat and, from another direction, silently disappeared into the night.
...
On the west side of the farm, there is an abandoned cowshed.
The air was filled with a strange smell of hay and animal dung.
Su Wantang pushed open the creaking wooden door and slipped inside.
In the darkness, a dark figure rose from behind the haystack, knelt on one knee, and spoke in a voice that suppressed immense excitement and pain.
"Young Miss!"
It's Qin Zheng.
He was dressed in tattered overalls, his face smeared with grime, looking no different from any other farm worker. But his eyes shone like a wolf's.
This was the first time Su Wantang had met him since her "death".
"Get up," Su Wantang's voice sounded particularly cold in the empty cowshed. "From now on, call me Director Bai."
"Yes, Chairman Bai." Qin Zheng stood up, his posture as straight as a spear. He stared intently at the face in front of him, a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar, his eyes reddening.
Su Wantang didn't give him time for sentimentality and asked directly, "How's the investigation going?"
“Everything has been investigated,” Qin Zheng immediately got into the zone, pulling a small notebook from his pocket.
"All of Su Yuting's interpersonal relationships, financial transactions, and..."
He lowered his voice, "I discovered that every few days she would go to a very secluded place, as if she were contacting someone. I followed her twice and almost got caught. That woman's vigilance was unlike that of an ordinary person."
"And this too." Qin Zheng handed over a piece of paper.
“This is a drawing I made. It shows where she hid things very cleverly. I suspect it’s… a telegraph machine.”
Su Wantang took the blueprints and glanced at them in the faint moonlight filtering through the crack in the door.
The picture shows the inner layer of the earthen bed where Su Yuting hid the telegraph machine.
really.
Su Wantang felt a weight lifted off her shoulders.
That makes sense.
How could Su Yuting, a labor reformer who was sent to a farm, remotely command Huo Sanniang in Hong Kong Island and even plan so many actions against her?
It turns out that there was an invisible thread running behind her all along.
It seems I pushed her too far this afternoon; this line will soon be moved.
This is the evidence she wants. Evidence that can completely bind Su Yuting or her husband to their fate.
"You did a great job." Su Wantang put the blueprints away.
"Chairman Bai, what's our next step? Should I just..." Qin Zheng made a throat-slitting gesture, his eyes fierce.
“No need,” Su Wantang’s lips curled into a cold smile. “Killing her would be too easy for her. I want her to be utterly disgraced and die a horrible death.”
"I'll give you a plan, like this..."
She leaned close to Qin Zheng and quickly whispered a few words in a voice only the two of them could hear.
Qin Zheng's eyes grew brighter and brighter as he listened, and he finally nodded emphatically.
...
On the other side, the farm's feed warehouse.
Lu Jingyan leaned against a pile of sacks, and a thin man was squatting in front of him, reporting in a low voice.
This man was none other than Wang Hao, the scout he had planted.
"Commander, the target has made unusual moves tonight."
"explain."
"She used a telegraph machine to send an urgent telegram. I couldn't decipher the contents; it was their top-secret internal message. But judging from the frequency and duration, it was an order to attack."
Wang Hao's voice was extremely low, "I suspect the target is... Chairman Bai."
Lu Jingyan's eyes instantly turned cold, and the surrounding air seemed to drop several degrees.
"Understood." Lu Jingyan stood up. "Continue to observe, but don't expose yourself."
"Yes, Commander!"
...
Su Wantang returned to the guesthouse first.
Pushing open the door, the room was empty.
Lu Jingyan has not returned yet.
She frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing through her mind.
Is this man hiding something from me?
Without thinking too much, she took off her shoes, lay down fully clothed on her single bed, turned her back to the door, and closed her eyes.
Not long after, the door was gently pushed open.
Lu Jingyan walked in and immediately saw the slender figure on the bed with her back to him.
She was breathing evenly and seemed to be fast asleep.
Moonlight streamed in through the window, outlining the beautiful curves of her body, especially her pert buttocks, which, even under the blanket, still revealed an astonishing arc.
Lu Jingyan's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
He knew she wasn't asleep.
He knew she didn't want to talk to him.
But it's okay.
There is ample time.
He took off his shoes, lay down, but his gaze never left that figure.
The room was silent, save for the two people's soft breathing, which mingled in the darkness.
