Although such trifles didn’t harm He Zhilan physically, she was thoroughly fed up with them. That very night, she directly confronted Gu En, not even bothering to offer him a fake smile as he looked at her with a face full of provocation and the stance of a victor.
"If incidents happen again, Gu En, believe it or not, the very next day, every street and alley in the capital will know that the daughter of Commander Gu cruelly killed a cat at ten years old and blamed it on a playmate. Or, if I felt beleaguered by it, I could visit the Gu family to chat with Commander Gu and his wife," said He Zhilan.
"You won’t be allowed! I won’t let you step or even approach half a step closer to the Gu residence!" Gu En denied vehemently. "To them, you are just a piece of garbage now. The Gu family will never allow a piece of garbage with a bad reputation to step foot on our territory!"
"You think by tarnishing my reputation, I will be banished from the Gu family forever? Gu En, don’t forget, a cornered dog might leap over a wall, just like you. And I’m certainly not afraid of mutual destruction," He Zhilan laughed coldly, her eyes sparkling with a threatening intention.
She claimed to never be scared of Gu En anymore since she had nothing to lose, and she felt no fear at the prospect of mutual destruction.
Maybe Gu En was truly scared by her. After a long time, he ran away clumsily, screaming, "I don’t believe it! You wouldn’t dare! You wouldn’t dare at all!"
His fear was vividly clear.
He Zhilan didn’t care about what was going through Gu En’s mind. However, after that warning, her life finally returned to normal, without any ’surprises’ waiting for her every once in a while.
Regardless of her thick-skinned shamelessness, she spent every weekend afterwards at the barracks. Maybe it was because he had no other choice, or maybe he didn’t want to upset her too much, either way, He Teng ceased his tough attitude of locking her out like before.
Despite deliberately creating distance with He Zhilan, He Teng actually spent the time training her during her stays at the barracks.
The summer vacation was just around the corner. As usual, Lin Chan picked up He Zhilan on a Friday afternoon after school to deliver goods. It could be said that Yan Wei was not blessed with good fortune. Even in the capital, there was only one workshop, and due to a lack of workers, besides supplying the original foreign buyers, they could only make one batch of goods for He Zhilan.
Yan Wei was initially planning to order goods from workshops outside, but there were not many small factories domestically. Even if he could find one, they could supply him with goods, but due to limited supply and the high transportation costs, he would not make any profit. So he gave up on that idea and chose to continue getting goods from He Zhilan, delaying his plans until there were more workshops.
"Summer vacation is coming. John asked me to ask you if you want to continue working at his place?" Lin Chan cheerfully drove the car. Summer vacation meant that he could freely deal with those who deserved a lesson.
Admittedly, Lin Chan was a man who enjoyed violence. He absolutely didn’t resort to gentleness when violence could solve the issue.
Just like Liu Jiang, who ended up in hospital for five days after getting beaten by him. After his release, he became obedient and changed his route whenever he saw him, let alone having the guts to bother He Zhilan again.
