The moment the mother and daughter followed Mother Lin into the abandoned factory, the large door behind them was suddenly slammed shut.
Fu Wenwen raised an eyebrow, a cold smile playing on her lips.
"Long time no see, Fu Wenwen!" a voice, both familiar and strange, echoed through the abandoned factory. Fu Wenwen looked at the person slowly walking towards her, her eyebrows arching in surprise.
"Long time no see, Miss Wei," Fu Wenwen scoffed lightly. It had indeed been a very long time.
"You're facing death and you're still so calm? Bringing your daughter along to accompany you to work, you really are something." Wei Lan looked at Fu Wenwen, her eyes filled with hatred.
If it weren't for Fu Wenwen, she wouldn't have fallen so low, nor would she have become a depraved woman who sold herself for what she needed.
All of this was Fu Wenwen's fault.
"What are you talking about? Didn't you abduct Lin Yu, forcing his mother to beg me to come rescue him?" Fu Wenwen said calmly.
"Yes! I've brought the person to you, where is my son?" Mother Lin hurried, looking at the animosity between them. She didn't want to get involved and wouldn't.
All she wanted was her son.
"Your son? Oh? You mean that ungrateful brat? He's in the barrel in front of you," Wei Lan sneered.
Mother Lin walked towards the metal barrel before her, her heart filled with disbelief.
"Ahhhh!"
A scream, Mother Lin pointed at her son, who had been chopped into eight pieces, and was so terrified she wet herself and collapsed onto the ground.
"Lin Yu!!!"
Fu Wenwen picked up Lu Xiyue, covering her eyes, not wanting her to see any of this.
"No matter what happens, don't open your eyes."
Fu Wenwen whispered softly in Lu Xiyue's ear.
Lu Xiyue hugged Fu Wenwen tightly. No matter how scared she was, as long as her mother was there, she wouldn't be afraid.
"Wei Lan, why did you specifically lure me here? What do you want?"
Fu Wenwen looked at Wei Lan, only to see Wei Lan laughing maniacally. "Hahahahaha, I want you dead! How could you not know what I want? Don't you know everything?"
"You're so omniscient, so omniscient that you knew the hiding spot long ago, yet you still insisted on me being captured and suffering inside."
"So it was discovered? My apologies." Fu Wenwen didn't deny it; instead, she readily admitted it.
"You can still laugh!" Wei Lan roared in anger.
"Why can't I laugh? Seeing you in trouble, why wouldn't I be happy? I'm very happy!" Fu Wenwen looked at Wei Lan, a provocative smile on her face.
Wei Lan gritted her teeth, roared, and pulled out the gunpowder she had prepared.
"If you're so happy, then go be happy in hell! After you all die, I'll mail your meat pieces to the Lu family. I believe they'll be extremely happy!" Wei Lan was completely consumed by madness.
The suffering she had endured over the years fueled her hatred for Fu Wenwen and the Lu family. But the Lu family was beyond her reach.
She could only deal with Fu Wenwen, making Lu Chengsen lose his beloved, and ensuring Fu Wenwen would never appear in her world again.
She hadn't expected Fu Wenwen to bring her daughter along. This bonus, this "buy one get one free," drove Wei Lan even more mad.
"I'll fight you!" Mother Lin, regaining her senses, lunged at Wei Lan. "I'll kill you, you little bitch."
"Get lost, old hag. You mess around in the martial world, and if your son doesn't understand the rules, someone will teach him. Daring to trick me, Wei Lan, this is his fate!" Wei Lan sneered. A man behind her stepped forward and slapped Mother Lin fiercely.
Mother Lin lost a tooth from the blow, falling to the ground in pieces, unable to get up.
"Useless old hag, get out of the way and die!" Wei Lan said with disdain.
"Do you really think you can hurt me?" Fu Wenwen looked at Wei Lan with amusement. Wei Lan sneered.
"I know you're skilled, but these people are different from those others. These are the strongest men I've carefully selected for you."
"I'll let you truly feel what I felt back then!" Wei Lan waved her hand, and several men immediately rushed towards Fu Wenwen.
Fu Wenwen sneered. Even while holding Lu Xiyue, she had never been afraid.
Nine men surrounded Fu Wenwen. They took turns trying to subdue her, but Fu Wenwen was undeterred.
One by one, she disabled them.
Her strikes were fierce and merciless.
Wei Lan hadn't expected that the men she had paid such a price to find would still be useless.
"Fu Wenwen, die!" Wei Lan pulled out a pistol from her embrace and fired at Fu Wenwen.
"Mom, to your left," Lu Xiyue cried out.
Fu Wenwen immediately dodged to the right, evading Wei Lan's bullet.
She glanced at her daughter, who had her eyes closed. "I told you not to look, but you used your powers to see anyway! Disobedient."
"...Mom, the bad guy is shooting you again," Lu Xiyue quickly reminded her, not wanting Fu Wenwen to dwell on her scolding.
The nine men, under Fu Wenwen's hands, were all defeated in just a few moves.
"What other tricks do you have?" Fu Wenwen looked at Wei Lan, who gritted her teeth.
"Die!! Die! Die! Die!" Wei Lan shouted, her bullets relentlessly flying towards Fu Wenwen.
However, to Fu Wenwen, the trajectory of the bullets was as clear as day. She calmly dodged all of them and reached Wei Lan.
With one hand, she lifted Wei Lan, about to silence her, when she saw Lu Xiyue in her arms.
"..." Lu Xiyue was at a sensitive stage of developing her powers. Fu Wenwen was silent for a long moment before lowering Wei Lan.
"You can go." Fu Wenwen glanced at Wei Lan, who looked at her in disbelief.
She wanted to kill her, yet Fu Wenwen was letting her go?
"Hmph." Wei Lan gritted her teeth, got up, and fled.
"Mom, why did you let her go? What if she hurts you again next time?" Lu Xiyue looked at Fu Wenwen, confused as to why her mother had suddenly gone soft.
"Because this is a society ruled by law, and we are all law-abiding citizens!" Fu Wenwen said righteously, looking at Lu Xiyue.
Lu Xiyue blinked her large eyes, not quite understanding Fu Wenwen's meaning.
However, she silently remembered this sentence.
Lin Yu had been chopped into eight pieces. When Fu Wenwen took Lu Xiyue to report the crime, the police arrived to find Mother Lin had gone mad.
Clutching Lin Yu's head, she sobbed uncontrollably.
The nine large men were all captured, each with shattered, crippled legs that couldn't even be saved.
As for Wei Lan, she fled to another city as a fugitive, planning to make a comeback when the opportunity arose.
The incident with Fu Wenwen and Lu Xiyue had greatly frightened Lu Chengsen and Lu Ze'an, who were at work. By the time they rushed over, everything had already been handled.
The moment Lu Xiyue saw Lu Ze'an, she had been calmly chatting and laughing with Fu Wenwen.
The next second, she burst into tears.
"Waaah... Brother!!!"
Lu Ze'an quickly rushed forward and held Lu Xiyue, comforting her. "It's okay, it's okay, brother is here."
