Chapter 114: 111 Tu Gou monthly ticket 330 additional Chapters

Li Xianglu could guess with her toes what the beast Li Jianwen was up to, and the current situation was particularly unfavorable for her. First of all, there was no one around, and the inhabited part of the previous village was too far away, even shouting wouldn’t help.

Li Xianglu forced herself to stay calm, it was already four in the afternoon, and Qin Xi and the others had laid down at two, they should be waking up soon, they would definitely look for her when they saw she was missing, especially since the dumpling was only half done. She usually did not go out, he would surely come to look for her. Once he found Qu Yeyu, he would know that she had been deceived, and then he would come here.

However, Li Xianglu did not intend to pin all her hopes on this uncertain factor; she needed to be fully prepared.

First, she needed to be able to protect herself. She also wanted to teach Li Jianwen a lesson, otherwise he would think everyone in the world could be manipulated by him without fighting back. She wanted to let him know, sometimes when you plot against someone, you have to consider whether you can bear the consequences!

Thinking this, Li Xianglu chuckled, "Li Jianwen, you are as self-righteous as ever. You had your Mom knock me out for the sake of your job opportunity, to marry me off to Wang Xiwang’s foolish younger brother, but it didn’t work out. Then your Mom took the blame as your scapegoat. What, have you found another scapegoat now?" As she spoke, she glanced over with pitying eyes at Tu Gou.

Upon hearing this, Tu Gou became totally panicked, shouting incredulously, "Li Jianwen, how dare you use me as a scapegoat, you wish!"

Hearing that Li Xianglu had turned Tu Gou against him, Li Jianwen’s expression changed, his look becoming very complicated.

Her clothes had changed, her demeanor had changed, she had grown taller, and her face was rosy, but no matter how much she changed, she was still his timid and cowardly little sister. Although he had heard Mom scold her many times over the past year, he always just listened, seemingly he had underestimated this girl.

With no one speaking to him, and being ignored by Li Jianwen, Tu Gou panicked immediately. He spat in anger, cursing, "Well done, Li Jianwen, how daring of you to deceive me!" He put on a show of bravado, but he fled with great haste.

Li Xianglu let out a sigh of relief. One down, this one would be easy to handle.

After gaining confidence, her facial expression became even calmer, "Li Jianwen, you even cursed your own brother, saying he fell into an ice hole, huh, let’s hear it, what’s your purpose, let’s see what you’re plotting this time."

Seeing that the situation was out in the open, Li Jianwen didn’t bother with pretense anymore and boldly declared, "I want that recommendation spot!"

Li Xianglu was shocked inside, but she chuckled, "Li Jianwen, who do you think you are? The mayor’s son? The governor’s son?"

She looked at him in disbelief. "You think you are omnipotent, that you can have whatever you desire?"

Li Jianwen couldn’t stand being talked about like that; his face darkened, his grip tightening on the stick.

Li Xianglu originally did not want to provoke the person in front of her, but delaying could lead to other changes in the afternoon. What if someone else came, or Tu Gou ran back? She needed a quick resolution. Fearing that she couldn’t outrun this long-legged young man, and without anyone else to save her, she had to provoke him; by taking advantage of his outburst to injure him, she could escape.

"What’s the matter, coward, afraid now? You only know how to hide behind your Mom and blabber. If you dare, try to touch me!" Li Xianglu spoke in an utterly contemptuous tone, her hand resting on her leg, and in an instant, she pulled out a stun baton and turned it on.

Li Jianwen’s face twisted with rage, someone actually speaking to him like that—Li Jianwen, who had been praised for his intelligence and good studies since childhood, and especially at home, he was the superior one, always indulged, even the money from selling this girl had been spent by him. To have someone openly reveal the ugliness beneath the veneer, seeing her as if she was about to leave, Li Jianwen raised his stick and furiously rushed forward, smashing down.

Li Xianglu deliberately shifted her body to let the stick hit her arm with a snapping sound, causing her pain but she quickly raised her taser and pressed it against Li Jianwen’s exposed neck.

He convulsed and fell to the ground almost without resistance.

Li Xianglu did not turn off the stun baton but carefully checked the person lying on the ground to confirm he had fainted, then stood up to leave. Just then, she heard the sound of someone running down from the beams above, startling her and making her quickly put away the stun baton.

By the time Qin Xi arrived, she saw Li Jianwen lying on the ground and Li Xianglu holding a stick, cradling her arm.

Qin Xi quickly came forward and felt her bones, disregarding her cries of pain. After confirming that her arm was not broken, she then crouched down and checked Li Jianwen’s neck pulse; he was still alive. Standing up, she asked, "What happened?"

Li Xianglu omitted the fact that Li Jianwen was stunned by the electricity, just saying she was deceived to come here, and another accomplice, Tu Gou, was scared away by her while Li Jianwen was knocked unconscious by her in the struggle for the stick.

Qin Xi crouched and examined the man, finding no injuries on his head and couldn’t tell how he was knocked out, but it was good that he was unconscious.

Qin Xi stood up and said: "You go back first, I’ll come back after dinner."

Li Xianglu wanted to say something, but seeing Qin Xi carrying the person toward the direction of Daheyan, she remained silent and picked up the tools used in the incident and went back home.

At home, Mr. Li was relieved to see her safe, and hurriedly asked her.

Just as the conversation ended, Qin Zhen also rushed back from outside and seeing Li Xianglu alright, he relievedly said, "Tu Gou, that son of a bitch, has already confessed. My brother told me to take Tu Gou over to Daheyan."

Li Xianglu asked, "What for?"

Qin Zhen arrogantly replied, "My brother said since he dared to deceive our family, he needs a lesson, otherwise he might scheme against us again." Saying this, he took a rope from next to the kitchen and left.

Mr. Li did not stop him but said to Li Xianglu: "Be more cautious in the future. Like today, if Qin Xi hadn’t felt something was wrong and looked around, and just happened to encounter Qu Yeyu coming out to dump dirty water, we wouldn’t have known you were deceived. Your third brother didn’t fall into the river at all; he was eating at your uncle’s house."

Li Xianglu knew she had been careless this time, but these people were too malicious, each batch spicier than the last. It was endless trouble, actually thinking of first confusing someone familiar to her, and then plotting against her. If it wasn’t for her Storage Ring, she might have easily fallen into their trap.

What puzzled her the most was, who leaked the information about the university admission slots? Was it Liu Aidang or the uncle?

Meanwhile, Qin Xi, carrying a person, had already reached an abandoned shack near Daheyan; Qin Zhen had already deceitfully brought Tu Gou there too.

Seeing Qin Xi and the unconscious Li Jianwen in the shack, Tu Gou attempted to run but was kicked to the ground by the pursuing Qin Zhen.
