Lin Cuiying held Lin Yueju's hand tightly, cautiously looking around.
The man in gray cautiously peeked out, glanced ahead, then withdrew and whispered, "There are people ahead."
"Someone's here?" Lin Cuiying was startled.
This is deep in the mountains, how could there be anyone else here?
Could they be bandits from Black Wind Stronghold?
Thinking of this, Lin Cuiying couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
If they really are bandits from Black Wind Stronghold, then they are in danger.
The man in gray nodded and said solemnly, "You wait here, I'll go take a look."
After saying that, he vanished into the bushes by the roadside in a flash.
Lin Cuiying and Lin Yueju hid behind a big tree, not daring to breathe.
After a while, the man in gray returned, his expression somewhat strange. "It's Lai Pi Chun and his gang."
"Lai Pi Chun?" Lin Cuiying was taken aback.
She never expected to run into Lai Pi Chun and his gang here.
However, upon further reflection, she understood.
Lai Pichun and his gang must have realized they had escaped, so they chased them here.
"How many of them are there?" Lin Cuiying asked.
The man in gray held up three fingers. "Three."
"Three?" Lin Cuiying felt relieved.
There are only three people, so they don't need to worry too much.
She could take care of those three people all by herself.
"Yes, three," the gray-clad man replied in a deep voice.
A cold glint flashed in Lin Cuiying's eyes. "Perfect, let's settle both old and new scores together!"
She was worried that she would have to wait for an opportunity to take revenge, but unexpectedly, they came to her doorstep.
Upon seeing this, the man in gray quickly said, "Miss Lin, you wait here, I'll go and deal with them."
Lin Cuiying shook her head, her expression resolute. "No, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. I must deal with these people personally."
The man in gray frowned slightly, clearly somewhat worried.
Lin Cuiying patted his shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
The man in gray opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, but Lin Cuiying interrupted him, "Brother, please take good care of Ju'er for me. I'll be right back."
After saying that, Lin Cuiying vanished into the bushes in a flash.
Lin Yueju watched Lin Cuiying's disappearing figure, her eyes filled with worry. "Mother, will she be alright?"
The man in gray was silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "Your mother is a capable person; she will be fine."
Hearing this, Lin Yueju breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Lin Cuiying hid in the bushes and cautiously crept forward.
Soon, she spotted Lai Pi Chun and his two companions.
The other two are Zhang Ergou and Wang Fugui. Since you three brothers have managed to raise so much money, then you'll have to share the hardship together!
The three people were walking along, looking around, clearly searching for them.
A cold glint flashed in Lin Cuiying's eyes as she quietly approached them.
Lai Pichun and his two companions remained oblivious, continuing their search.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Cuiying struck Wang Fugui to the ground with lightning speed.
Zhang Ergou and Lai Pichun were taken aback and quickly turned around, only to see Lin Cuiying's cold gaze.
"Lin Cuiying, how dare you ambush us!" Lai Pichun exclaimed.
Lin Cuiying snorted coldly, "You can secretly kidnap me to beat my daughter, so why can't I secretly give you a few punches?"
Lai Pichun's face darkened. "Hmph, do you think you can beat the two of us by yourself?"
Lin Cuiying stretched her limbs and laughed, "How will you know if you don't try?"
Lai Pichun put on a brave front, but he was actually a little nervous inside.
He had witnessed Lin Cuiying's skills firsthand and knew that this woman was not easy to deal with.
But now, there are only two of them, while Lin Cuiying is alone.
If a fight really breaks out, they won't be able to gain any advantage.
Thinking of this, Lai Pichun involuntarily took a step back.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Ergou's expression changed slightly.
He had been dealt with by Lin Cuiying before and knew how formidable that woman was.
Seeing that Lai Pi Chun had chickened out, he was so scared that he didn't dare to say a word.
Lin Cuiying saw their reaction and sneered inwardly.
"What? Are you scared before the battle even begins?"
Lin Cuiying's words carried a hint of sarcasm, which made Lai Pichun's face even uglier.
"Who said I was cowardly? I just felt that we are all from the same village, and there is no need to fight over such a small matter."
Lai Pichun tried to remain calm and attempted to defuse the awkward situation with words.
"Fellow villagers? When you kidnapped my daughter, didn't you think about us being fellow villagers?" Lin Cuiying didn't buy his argument and sneered, "When you set fire to our house to burn us alive, didn't you think of that? Now you're telling me this? Don't you think it's too late?"
Lai Pichun was speechless, his face turning red and white in turns.
Seeing this, Zhang Ergou couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "Brother Lai, what do we do?"
Lai Pichun glared at him, signaling him to shut up.
Then, he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
"Lin Cuiying, what exactly do you want?"
Lin Cuiying's eyes narrowed, and her tone turned icy: "It's very simple, you will pay the price for what you did before."
Lai Pichun's heart tightened; he knew that the price Lin Cuiying had mentioned would definitely not be light.
But now, he has no way out.
"Lin Cuiying, don't go too far! Don't think we're really afraid of you!"
Lai Pichun feigned toughness in an attempt to save face.
However, Lin Cuiying remained unaffected and approached them step by step.
"Whether this is excessive or not is not for you to decide. Today, I must get justice!"
As Lin Cuiying finished speaking, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
Lai Pichun and Zhang Ergou exchanged a glance, both seeing the resolute look in each other's eyes.
"superior!"
Lai Pi Chun shouted and pounced on Lin Cuiying together with Zhang Er Gou.
They knew that this battle was inevitable, and they could only fight with all their might.
However, their strength was still far inferior to Lin Cuiying's.
After only a few rounds, Lai Pi Chun and Zhang Er Gou were knocked to the ground by Lin Cuiying, groaning in pain.
Lin Cuiying dusted herself off, walked over to Wang Fugui who was lying on the ground, and kicked him several times.
Wang Fugui let out several screams, and he cried out in his heart: How could I get infected while lying down?
Lai Pi Chun and Zhang Er Gou were both terrified when they saw this scene.
They hadn't expected Lin Cuiying to be so powerful, easily defeating the three of them.
"Lin Cuiying, what... what exactly do you want to do?"
Despite the pain, Lai Pichun asked in a trembling voice.
Lin Cuiying looked at them coldly, "What do I want to do? Haven't you already guessed it?"
Her eyes were filled with murderous intent, which instilled an unprecedented fear in Lai Pichun and his two companions.
