Five minutes later, six people lay on the ground wailing.
Big brother Pizi watched Curly wail beside him and slapped him on the head, "Why the hell didn’t you remind us? How were we supposed to know this woman was so powerful? Why didn’t you say anything? You’re screwing us over! And stop your damn wailing, that woman didn’t even touch you, what the hell are you howling for?" After the slap, he immediately felt pain in his hand as if it were about to break, and he rolled on the ground, clutching his arm.
"Big brother, I was scared of getting beaten. She almost snapped my neck just now. If I hadn’t played dead, I’d be gone by now!" Curly was very much aware of the right thing to do at the time; in fact, they didn’t even understand what had happened. The moment that woman’s hand touched any part of their body, whether it was their wrists or ankles, they would instantly see a silver needle inserted, and then they ended up like this.
Rolling around on the ground, they were drenched in cold sweat from the pain.
It was mainly because every part of the body hurt; there wasn’t a single spot that didn’t ache. The pain seemed to radiate from the cracks in their bones, even the eyeballs seemed to hurt, causing their bodies to tremble and making them wish for death. The place had been chosen for its convenience for their deeds, located in a remote area with few people, ensuring that nobody would inadvertently disturb their underhanded activities.
It turned out to be the place where they would meet their doom, to die here without anyone knowing; even if they screamed their lungs out, no one would come to save them.
Damn it, this was going to cost them their lives.
Bai Xiao dusted off her hands, thinking, is there anyone she can’t take down?
The old master of the Yu Family watched in disbelief, silently setting down the chair he was holding. It seemed his own chair could not achieve this effect; his granddaughter was even more skilled than he had imagined. No wonder his son had said that her acupuncture was powerful—it truly was.
Looking at his own hands, he felt like he really just added to the chaos; he had thought he was saving her, but it turned out she didn’t need any saving at all. This kind of letdown really was despairing.
Bai Xiao grabbed a chair, "Please sit for a while, grandpa. I still have things to take care of." She said this without any form of address.
Her mind was also in turmoil. This old man was her maternal grandfather, her mother’s father. Yet deep down, she was very resistant to this relationship. In her previous life, she had no idea she had this connection and had always thought she was part of the Bai Family. Now, with sudden twists and turns, she wasn’t prepared for this.
With more relatives came more trouble; who knew what kind of mess the Yu Family was involved in? Accepting this family connection meant opening herself up to countless troubles. It wasn’t about fearing trouble but about not wanting to invite unnecessary problems for herself.
Moreover, after experiencing everything from her past life, she honestly had no reason to find a bunch of relatives now that she was capable and successful. Was she living too comfortably and looking for some amusement?
That’s a joke!
Only someone whose brain had been slammed in a door would do that.
But with the old man protecting her like this, it would be heartless and ungrateful of her to pretend she didn’t see it and ignore it. She was a kind person, well, maybe not friendly to some people, but generally harmless and amiable.
It didn’t seem quite right to praise herself like this.
Right now, she just wanted to know who this Sister Mei was.
The hatred that wished her dead and buried, the kind of hatred that would ruin a woman’s reputation like this—what kind of grudge did they hold against her?
Mei...
The only person with ’Mei’ in their name that she knew of seemed to be just one person.
But shouldn’t that person be in the village?
