Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Yu Ru left without a trace, presumably because they forbade her from contacting the outside world to prevent her from revealing anything she shouldn't. Yun Jixing was injured and could finally rest openly. Without Yu Ru by his side, he felt restless and wanted to do something for her to make up for what he owed her.

Yu Ru recorded the classmates who had bullied her in her diary, a fact Yun Jixing knew, and she had given him access to see it. In truth, compared to the oppression of the powerful later on, the bullying from her classmates was like child's play. It was like a rat dropping in your bowl while eating, accidentally swallowing it without noticing, only realizing something was wrong after tasting it. What followed was a wave of nausea, making one feel extremely uncomfortable, but the dropping itself wasn't fatal, merely disgusting; the memory of it would still make one feel nauseous.

However, when the powerful and wealthy bully others, they do so with deadly cruelty. It's like having a decayed tooth that's affecting the nerves, causing constant pain and leaving you helpless. You want it pulled, but the dentist tells you the decay is too deep, and pulling it would require removing all the surrounding teeth. More importantly, the surgery is too risky; no doctor is willing to perform it, and even if they were, they couldn't afford the exorbitant fees. So, you end up living a miserable life with that decayed tooth, unable to eat or sleep, constantly in a daze, mentally unstable.

Therefore, as Yu Ru grew up, the hatred between her and her classmates gradually fell off the list of revenge in her heart. It wasn't that she forgot the pain of the past or stopped thinking about teaching those classmates who bullied her a lesson, but rather that she was too busy and didn't have time to deal with those troublemakers; she had more important things to do.

She kept thinking she should wait until she had some free time, then she would settle scores with each of the classmates who had bullied her. But as she waited, new unexpected events always came her way, and her revenge plan to "kill" her classmates was repeatedly delayed.

Yun Jixing was also aware of her revenge list and plans. Because he was usually very busy with work, he spent his free time either looking for remedies to help Yu Ru improve her health or being affectionate with her, so he rarely had time to help Yu Ru take revenge.

He could easily have those classmates killed; it was just a matter of a word, and his subordinates could have done it. However, he felt that killing them would be too lenient for them. Besides, Yu Ru was soft-hearted; she didn't want them to die, she only wanted to teach them a lesson.

He went along with her wishes and prevented those classmates from dying unexpectedly. That was for the best; death would end everything, how blissful that would be. Living and suffering was true revenge, and that was what brought real satisfaction.

Although he couldn't help with revenge, Yun Jixing wasn't completely indifferent. He had been keeping an eye on the current movements of Yu Ru's classmates and collecting all the information about them. By now, he had gathered complete information on everyone, even more comprehensive than Yu Ru herself.

Heaven has taken pity on him. Now that he is injured, he can put aside all his work and rest properly. He has plenty of time to kill, so he can use this time to help Yu Ru complete her revenge.

Half a month has passed since the substitution technique was performed, and Yun Jixing is now able to walk normally. During his recuperation, he has been constantly thinking about the grievances suffered by Yu Ru. The thought of her being taken away and her fate unknown, while he has not yet completed his revenge plan, fills him with uncontrollable sorrow.

Having confirmed with the witch doctor yesterday that he could move around freely, he couldn't wait to find his first target for revenge today.

The first target was He Zhuye, who used to say that Yu Ru was pretentious, and mocked Yu Ru's upright and dignified posture as the work of a pretentious and affected person. He also secretly belittled Yu Ru to others, implying that Yu Ru was pretentious, and deliberately brainwashed people to think that Yu Ru was indeed pretentious.

This narrow-minded woman comes from a reasonably well-off family; her father is a photographer with some local fame, and now, following in his footsteps, she has also become a photographer. Thanks to her father's shared resources, she is doing quite well, running a photography studio in Shenzhen.

Yun Jixing departed for Shenzhen today. Sitting in the back seat, he scrolled through information about He Zhuye on his tablet, his eyes gleaming coldly. This woman's mockery of Yu Ru's dignified hypocrisy had caused Yu Ru to be gossiped about behind her back; she would suffer the same pain. His punishment for her was to remove her spine, so she would never be able to stand upright again!

A few days before departure, Yun Jixing had made preparations, having his family's bodyguards pose as guests to take photos with He Zhuye, while he pretended to be a friend accompanying her and watching the show from the sidelines. During this photo shoot, an accident would occur, leaving He Zhuye unable to stand upright for the rest of her life.

Yunji Xing watched the tablet for a while, his thoughts gradually became muddled, and he fell asleep leaning back in his chair.

When he opened his eyes again, they had arrived at their destination. Yanzi, Changtui, and Xiaoguang were standing by the car waiting for him. He looked up at the three people outside the car, blinked, then tidied himself up and got out.

"Young Master." The three of them went to greet him.

Yun Jixing nodded slightly, pulling his mask up a little with one hand. "Don't call me Young Master when we're out. Just call me... Xiao Xin."

"Understood, Shin-chan." The three saluted.

Yun Jixing scanned the three of them, finally fixing his gaze on Xiao Guang. "Xiao Guang, you're a key technical member of our team, with less experience in bloodshed and a softer heart. You've seen the photo of the person we're dealing with this time; she has a rather pretty face, looking like a bright and cheerful angel, but behind her back, she's an extremely jealous and petty person, quite adept at spreading rumors and slander. She and Madam were classmates before, and she maliciously spread rumors about Madam, causing her to be vilified and unable to stand up straight for the rest of her life. You're an expert in human anatomy and acupoints, I believe you can handle this, provided that you absolutely cannot show any compassion."

"Understood, young master. This mission must succeed; failure is not an option. I will make this woman pay the price." Xiao Guang nodded.

"very good."

The group waited for a while before He Zhuye arrived on time with her two assistants. A tall, slender young woman walked towards them, wearing a white shirt with a black vest, cargo pants, and boots. She had chestnut-brown, slightly wavy, collarbone-length hair, and her attire suggested a capable and efficient person. Upon closer inspection, her eyes were small, double-lidded, and somewhat rat-like. Her eyebrows were high and imposing. Her face wasn't perfectly smooth, and her cheeks were slightly sunken. Appropriate contouring had been done to give her otherwise unremarkable features a Western look, making her appear quite elegant.

He Zhuye approached the group and said with a smile, "Sorry to keep you all waiting."

Aside from Yun Jixing, the other men all secretly sized her up. Those who could work for the Yun family were all of dignified appearance; they wouldn't be unattractive. However, among the three, Long Legs was the one who loved taking photos the most, so he was chosen to be the model this time. He and He Zhuye walked ahead, chatting about the details of the shoot. Xiao Guang and Yanzi followed behind them, whispering amongst themselves, their eyes occasionally glancing at He Zhuye.

Yanzi put her arm around Xiaoguang's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "Xiaoguang, this woman looks petty. She makes me uncomfortable."

Xiao Guang nodded, "Yes, I don't like it either."
