I emptied my family's possessions to join the army, and my abstinent superior doted on me.

Chapter 76 Money or nothing?
Jiang Yunshu smiled at Qian Lai and Hua Rui: "I'm really sorry. I can't say who he is."

But he was a military officer. I am truly grateful to him.

Otherwise, I might still be stubbornly clinging to my delusions, destined to continue down this dark path for the rest of my life.

He's a military officer!

Could it really be someone arranged by Gu Hanchuan?

"Teacher Jiang, please let me see your manuscript. If our Deputy Editor-in-Chief Jiang approves it, I will arrange for it to be published as soon as possible."

Jiang Yunshu deftly took out a thick stack of manuscript paper from her bag and handed it to Hua Rui: "I guess I've been holding back for too long."

I've already written this much as soon as I decided to get back on track. Which parts do you think are usable?
If revisions are needed, I'm ready to assist at any time.

Hua Rui enthusiastically took Jiang Yunshu to meet the editor-in-chief and Teacher Jiang. The results came out quickly.

After several years without picking up a pen, I've returned, and my skills are still sharp.

"No wonder we always had such a pleasant conversation when we met, but she would change her mind the very next day after we got home. It turns out Liu Shifan was behind it all." Hua Rui sighed repeatedly as she watched Jiang Yunshu's retreating figure as she went downstairs.

"I really can't understand how such a wonderful person could be burdened by emotions and lose themselves in life."

This must be what it means to be love-struck!
The more artistic a woman is, the more easily she is deceived by a man who is worldly-wise.

Fortunately, she has now come to her senses, and it's not too late. She should thank the person who enlightened her.

Who exactly is he?
Qian Lai submitted the manuscript and planned to visit Sister Mi to discuss the results of the previous research and the next steps.

There were no bicycles or jeeps available today, so it was her first time taking a bus to the outskirts of the city.

The bus stop is located at the intersection of two alleys, and you have to pass through a narrow, uninhabited alley.

Qian Lai wasn't in a hurry; it was just past noon, and the sun was at its strongest. She had to walk slowly along the wall, seeking refuge in the shade.

Perhaps because it was the height of the sun, few people passed through the alley. Only cicadas chirped incessantly in the trees, emitting their annoying calls.

Qian Lai strolled leisurely and turned into a narrow alley.

Along the narrow alley, lush branches and colorful flowers peek out from the mottled walls, forming a natural canopy for the alley.

Qian Lai slowed down, admiring the beautiful flowers on both sides as she walked, and temporarily escaping the scorching sun.

Suddenly, he inadvertently noticed several figures appearing on the ground diagonally below, slowly following behind him.
She instinctively turned around and saw four men grinning maliciously at her.

Oh no! We've run into a thug!

Qian Lai turned around and was about to run away, but the people behind her quickly split into two groups and surrounded her from the front and back.

"What are you going to do?" she screamed.

This must be the time when everyone is most tired during their lunch break.

In such a remote and narrow alley, without any "reinforcements," facing four opponents alone would likely be extremely dangerous.

"What are you shouting for?"

"Hmm~"

The man with a long scar on his face quickly covered her mouth from behind and forced her against the wall.

Immediately afterwards, someone came up and tied her hands behind her back.

"Oh, you are indeed quite good-looking. No wonder so many people are captivated by you."

The two thugs quickly moved aside, and a man who looked like a boss walked out from behind them.

The man's pair of "bitch eyes" scurried restlessly up and down Qian Lai, as if his mere gaze was enough to make one feel disgusted and violated.

Why are there female dog eyes again?
Qian Lai had a very vivid memory of those eyes.

The man grabbed her cheeks and shoved her against the wall. He spewed foul odors from his mouth, and Qian Lai nearly suffocated.

"Who is Liu Shifan to you?" She quickly realized.

"You still have the nerve to mention Liu Shifan. You've ruined his whole life, you bastard."

The mother dog's eyes were filled with a vicious glint that seemed to spit fire. "You were sent by Liu Shifan?" Qian Lai forcefully shook off his filthy hands that were holding her, showing some fear but trying to appear calm.

All she can do now is try to stall for time, hoping someone will pass by and lend a helping hand.

"You weren't hurt at all, you didn't suffer any damage, so why did you have to drive my brother to the police station? You're just a wicked woman.

A loud slap landed on her fair cheek, and a metallic taste of blood instantly filled her mouth.

Qian Lai stared stubbornly at the other person.

The man became even angrier: "Since you sent my brother in, you can't just stay out there unscathed, can you? Today, we're here to send you down the path of prostitution."

With a wink from "Bitch Eyes," several men quickly surrounded them.

Qian Lai shouted, "Stop!"

"Let's talk this out. There's a misunderstanding between us."

"Pah, you son of a bitch, there's a misunderstanding. When you were running around getting my brother arrested, why didn't you say there was a misunderstanding? What, are you scared now?"

Haha, don't worry. Your brothers won't do anything to you easily. They'll just slowly, little by little, make you feel amazing.

"Brother, Liu Shifan is already in jail. He brought it on himself. It wasn't just about drugging women; he also engaged in bribery and corruption. We're not wronging him, are we?"
Besides, you were fine to begin with. Now, because you stood up for him and did something illegal, you'll have to go to jail too.

"Brothers, please, please let me go. I'll give you whatever money you want."

Aside from "Bitch Eyes," the other three exchanged glances. Qian Lai keenly seized the opportunity.

"If you want to avenge Liu Shifan, the worst that can happen is that I die. But what good will that do you?"

There's absolutely no benefit to it. All this fighting and killing is just a matter for the underworld; you won't get any real advantage from it, right, brothers?

She looked at the three men with expectant eyes.

"I can give you money."

Her voice rose another eight octaves.

"Bitch Eyes" ignored her reasoning and directly brandished a dagger in front of her, asking, "You have money? How much money do you have?"

"How much money do you want?" Qian Lai began his delaying tactics.

"Do you even know how much money our family spent raising Liu Shifan? Huh?"

How much money did it cost to get Liu Shifan a wife?
Our whole family depended on Liu Shifan's monthly salary, and now that's gone too. Now, our Liu family is even stigmatized as the family of a death row inmate.

Do you know what my parents are like now?

The man grew angrier as he spoke, and pressed the dagger directly against Qian Lai's cheek.

"If I don't teach you a lesson, I won't swallow this insult."

"Brother, put the knife away. Let's talk this out."

"Speak properly?"

"We can't reason with them! We want the money, but we also want you."

"Take her away." The female dog gave her henchman a look.

The two men understood each other perfectly and came up, dragging Qian Lai towards the alley entrance.

"Let me go, calm down!" Qian Lai knew that if they really took him away, he might really have no chance.

She started screaming.

Just then, I heard someone scream as they flew out from behind me.

With a "thud," the scarred man landed heavily in front of her.
