Chapter 158: Tooth for Tooth



Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaocui slapped her thigh vigorously, said yes repeatedly, and then led her pack of dog companions down the mountain to seek help.

At this moment, only two loyal puppies, Changchang and Rou, were left in the forest to guard Xu Qinghe.

She quickly gathered some tough vines and skillfully tied Wang Song tightly to a big tree, ensuring that he could not easily break free.

Only then did she bend down and carefully check whether her length and flesh were damaged.

At first glance, the two puppies seemed fine, but Xu Qinghe was still very cautious. He took out a bottle of precious spiritual spring water from his arms and let them each take a few sips.

This water can not only heal minor scars, but also strengthen the body, which is really killing two birds with one stone.

The puppy who had drunk the water seemed particularly friendly, and gently rubbed Xu Qinghe's palm with its wet little nose, as if to express gratitude.

Then, one on the left and one on the right, they bit Wang Song's ankles in tacit understanding.

"Ouch! It hurts so much!" Wang Song was suddenly awakened by the severe pain. The back of his head was buzzing, and the two "little devils" on his feet were impossible to get rid of.

"Woof! Woof woof!" When the two puppies saw him wake up, they started a new round of barking, looking extremely excited.

Xu Qinghe picked up the remaining spiritual spring water and poured it over Wang Song's head without hesitation. The cold water splashed on him and made him completely sober.

She spoke slowly, "You should be fully awake now, right? Tell me, what made you so impatient that you attacked me?"

Wang Song was originally immersed in chaos, but was suddenly brought back to reality by this series of questions, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

"What do you mean?" He tried to remain calm, thinking that he would talk in detail after Xu Qinghe was untied.

"I just simply like you and want to be with you, but you always reject me, so I..."

Before he could finish, Xu Qinghe interrupted him coldly, "That's enough. Your sweet words can't fool me. Tell me, has anyone instructed you to destroy the harmonious relationship between me and my husband?"

Xu Qinghe hit the nail on the head. Wang Song's eyes widened when he heard it, and he couldn't say a word for a long time. He was obviously shocked by her insight.

He was silent, his eyes complicated.

Xu Qinghe caught this subtle change in emotion, and a knowing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He continued, "I guess you chose to do this recklessly today because you wanted to put me in trouble so that you could find a way to escape, right?"

When Wang Song heard this, his face suddenly changed, shock and disbelief intertwined in his eyes.

He stared at Xu Qinghe with eyes wide open in disbelief, secretly amazed at her sharp insight.

"You, what nonsense are you talking about! I, I don't understand what you mean at all!" His voice trembled slightly, trying to use denial to cover up his inner panic. At the same time, he subconsciously lowered his head, and his hands unconsciously twisted together, revealing his panic and uneasiness.

Xu Qinghe smiled softly, a smile that was both gentle and resolute. "It's okay if you don't understand. I just want to remind you that this approach will only further tarnish your reputation. In this city, once your reputation is damaged, no one will be willing to accept someone with such a bad reputation, even if there's a job opportunity. What's more, you've fallen so far, and the person behind you has not only refused to help you, but has instead encouraged you to gamble everything on your life. Their heart is terrifying! If you succeed today, both of our reputations will be ruined, and she will be able to reap the benefits and become the ultimate winner. By then, once your reputation is tarnished, you may never be able to return to the city, and she won't have to bother finding a way out for you. This is simply an elaborate scam."

"Comrade Wang Song, I believe you are not a stupid person. Don't count money for others until you are sold out." There was a subtle concern in Xu Qinghe's words. After she finished speaking, she calmly moved to the shade of a tree nearby and sat down leisurely to enjoy the cool air.

Two furry puppies snuggled obediently at her feet, with a vigilant glint in their eyes, always ready to protect their owner from any possible harm.

Wang Song was silent. Xu Qinghe's words struck his heart, forcing him to admit that she was telling the truth.

At dawn, the letter was like a cold command, pushing him to the brink of despair.

In the letter, the woman cruelly threatened that if he could not deal with Xu Qinghe, he would be imprisoned forever in this sea of suffering in the countryside, and no one would be able to save him.

In anger, he burned the letter, his heart filled with hatred for Yuan Mei's betrayal and resentment for Xu Qinghe's lack of understanding of romance.

When he learned that Xu Qinghe and Zhang Xiaocui went up the mountain together, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope and decided to go all out. However, he did not expect that this move would plunge him into a deeper quagmire.

He regretted that he had impulsively agreed to Yuan Mei's request. He thought it was just a simple trip out for some fresh air, but who would have thought that this was a trap that was difficult to escape from?

He has completely lost his father's support, unless he takes over his father's burden, but that means the livelihood of the whole family will fall entirely on his shoulders, and he knows very well that he does not have the ability to bear it all.

Now, his only hope is that Yuan Mei can lend a helping hand. In the early morning, he was still full of expectations, thinking that as long as he completed the task, he would be free. However, Xu Qinghe's words made him realize that relying on this method to escape was nothing but a foolish dream.

"What exactly do you want me to do?" Wang Song looked up with a look of help in his eyes. He always felt that Xu Qinghe already had a plan in mind.

Facing his proactive questioning, Xu Qinghe simply smiled and said, "Give him a taste of his own medicine."

She softly revealed the outline of her plan, then returned to her normal tone: "I'll give you some time to think about it. Before the village chief and the others arrive, you can think it over carefully."

"You, you are planning to let the village chief intervene?" Wang Song suddenly felt panic. Once such a thing gets out, how will he face others?

Xu Qinghe did not answer, but remained relaxed and waited quietly for Wang Song's response.

Wang Song felt mixed emotions and was hesitant.

On the one hand, he was afraid of the power behind Yuan Mei; on the other hand, if he did not obey Xu Qinghe, he would be accused of provoking trouble once the village chief arrived, and his life would be ruined.

After a fierce ideological struggle, he finally chose to compromise: "Okay, I'll listen to you!" Solve the current crisis first, and as for the future, let's talk about it later.

However, Xu Qinghe remained silent, as if she had not heard his answer at all.
