A few days later, Li Mu once again became the talk of the town. His lecherous behavior led him to attempt to rape a cleaning lady, but he failed due to sexual malfunctions. The cleaning lady turned out to be the underage girl he had seduced at the village school. This time, Yu Wuqing, once again pursued by the entertainment media, put on a dramatic performance, tearfully accusing Li Mu of being incredibly heartless, how much she cared for him, and how he ultimately abandoned her.
The Li family could no longer remain calm. Li Mu's reputation had been ruined again because of the same person. Under the public eye, they had no choice but to quietly hold the wedding for the two of them to silence the gossip.
"Would Li Mu be willing to accept this?" 007 muttered.
"What can you do if you're unwilling? Now, apart from Yu Wuqing, I doubt any woman would be willing to marry him."
"Is that all?"
"Hehe, you're too naive. If we just let him go like this, even I would feel guilty."
Having found Li Mu's weakness, Yu Wuqing completely disregarded him. Yu Wuqing had mastered the village shrew's methods of verbally abusing and disciplining disobedient husbands, and with Yu Qian's help behind the scenes, Li Mu's life was truly miserable. The Li family sought medical help from many people for Li Mu, but to no avail. Even if he was physically cured, his psychological illness wouldn't be so easily healed. Moreover, Li Mu had previously been involved with many women, who were eager to see him fail. Their open and behind-the-scenes mockery further gloomed the once playboy, preventing him from regaining his former virility.
"Speaking of which, what is Shi Chen doing right now? As Li Mu's fiancée, why doesn't she show up and make a fuss?"
"Hey, you know what, she's almost been forced to go abroad to escape Li Mu's harassment."
Before Xiang Wan could ask again, 007 explained, "Originally, after Yu Wuqing's incident, Li Mu explained things to Shi Chen and even wanted to continue their past life's story with him. But before things could even get going, another scandal involving Li Mu surfaced—that he's impotent. This is serious. Shi Chen immediately wanted to cut ties with Li Mu, but how could Li Mu let go? Even after marrying Yu Wuqing, he still wants to have contact with Shi Chen in private. Tsk tsk, what a weirdo."
"Huh, is this all the reason Shichen wants to go abroad?"
"How could that be? The key is that Yu Wuqing keeps finding the time eight times a day to say that she seduced her husband. It's become common knowledge. Anyone with a shred of shame would go crazy."
"Impossible. If we were forced to leave so easily, it wouldn't be the time of my past life when I made a living by tormenting people."
System: How did you guess so accurately? I can't keep making this up anymore.
007, thinking he couldn't reveal the plot, just made things up, but Xiang Wan didn't take the bait. He's really not cute at all.
Shi Chen was a ruthless woman. She wanted to get rid of Li Mu's entanglement, destroy Yu Wuqing, and also add fuel to her own career. So she found a few thugs and kidnapped Yu Wuqing to a dilapidated house in the middle of nowhere while she was out, intending to record the process of her being raped.
"Tsk tsk, so ruthless, no wonder he's a heartless and vicious person."
As he surveyed the room full of people lying on the floor, Xiang Wan sighed.
From the system's misleading words, Xiang Wan knew 007 was talking nonsense, so she used this to force the idiot system to reveal Shi Chen's actions. Of course, she wouldn't let 007 talk about the future; she simply reported Shi Chen's whereabouts and the people he had contacted, and then deduced the purpose of these people's actions herself.
When she used the powder to incapacitate the group, she didn't expect Li Mu to be there too, following behind Shi Chen. That's good; she doesn't need to go through the trouble of tying the two of them together anymore.
After administering different types of medication to the group, Xiang Wan turned on the camera that had been prepared at the appointed time and began recording.
The sins suffered by the original owner in his past life will be repaid by Shi Chen one by one. Doesn't Li Mu like toying with women? I wonder if he enjoys being toyed with.
Yu Wuqing was left alone by Xiang Wan. When she slowly woke up, she only saw the room full of filth and an unattended camera.
Although the girl hadn't received a proper education, she had watched television and knew what this thing was for. Filled with resentment, she continued recording until the camera ran out of battery before carrying her things back home, not caring what would happen to these people in the end.
From the moment she awoke after being knocked unconscious, all illusions about Li Mu vanished, replaced by nothing but revenge and hatred towards Li Mu and Shi Chen. Knowing these items could be sold for money, she went to a digital store, made countless copies, and then contacted the media outlets that had previously interviewed her, selling them openly with price tags.
"Ugh, I'm getting a little bored." Xiang Wan lay lazily on the bed.
"Come on, you have the nerve to ask someone else to do your job?" 007 said dismissively.
"You don't understand. Sometimes, using someone else's strength against them is the highest level of revenge. Passing through a field of flowers without getting a single petal on you is the true principle."
The system fell silent; it wasn't going to bother with this host who was just spouting nonsense anymore. Damn, he was just too idiotic.
Xiang Wan wasn't worried about being found out. After all, unlike modern times where there were cameras everywhere, she could easily make some minor modifications and create an alibi, and then she'd be out of the running. Besides, who would believe that a high school girl would have so many outlandish things?
When Shi Chen woke up, she nearly went mad. The room was filled with traces of her and those men, and the horrific state of Li Mu, but Yu Wuqing was nowhere to be seen. Her anger found an outlet, and she began to hate Li Mu as well. This woman was ruthless beyond measure; she directly strangled all the men to death, tied up Li Mu, and locked him in the storeroom in her yard, taking her anger out on him whenever she was in a bad mood, finding pleasure in tormenting him.
After the video circulated, people noticed that the gang of thugs hadn't appeared for a long time. Later, someone reported that a number of corpses had been found in a small house in the wasteland, which finally led to the discovery of the bodies.
"Xiao Qi, what should I do if I suddenly realize how cruel this world is?"
"Which world isn't brutal? Cough, what this system is saying is that someone is born with a constitution that attracts all sorts of things, it's not the world's fault."
Xiang Wan: I suddenly have an urge to beat up the system!
Knowing that Li Mu and Shi Chen's fates wouldn't be any worse than the original owner's, Xiang Wan focused on becoming a top student and did everything the original owner hadn't finished in her previous life.
Under her guidance, her friends all lived quite well. The only regret was that they didn't get to see Xiang Wan get married, or perhaps some of them were heartbroken by her, turned around and started their own families, and just watched her grow old slowly, until she passed away alone.
"Big Sister is too formidable. I doubt anyone could be worthy of her!" Little Fatty, who had grown into a chubby old man and was leaning on his cane, sighed as he stood on Xiang Wan's grave.
A young man passing by looked up and saw Xiang Wan's portrait, his eyes filled with unfathomable depths.
