From cannon fodder villain to superpowered queen

Bi Yao suddenly remembered that Liu Ermazi was the vendor who used to set up a stall near her house.

It is said that he witnessed firsthand how the Chiang family framed her father!

"Jiang Ruiyuan, let's go." Bi Yao's tone was firm, and her eyes shone with hope.

Based on clues provided in the anonymous letter, Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan arrived at an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city.

The place was overgrown with weeds, and the rusty iron gate creaked so loudly it made your teeth ache. A musty smell filled the air, making you feel depressed and uneasy.

"Does anyone really live here?" Jiang Ruiyuan looked around, his brows furrowed.

Bi Yao also felt a little uneasy. This place was gloomy and terrifying, and it really didn't look like anyone lived there.

She was worried that Liu Ermazi had met with some misfortune.

"Liu Ermazi!" Bi Yao called out tentatively, her voice echoing in the empty factory, but no one responded.

Just then, a series of chaotic footsteps broke the surrounding silence.

A group of men in black walked over menacingly, led by Sun Fu, the Jiang family's steward.

He wore a sinister smile, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Oh, isn't this Miss Bi? What, you've come to a place like this to experience life?" Sun Fu said sarcastically.

Bi Yao recognized Sun Fu at a glance. This guy who had mocked and humiliated her back then was still the same smug and arrogant person he was now.

“Sun Fu, stop pretending! I know Liu Ermazi is here, tell him to come out!” Bi Yao met Sun Fu’s gaze without fear.

Sun Fu sneered, "Liu Ermazi? You think he'll testify for you? Don't dream! This is Jiang family territory. You'd better be smart and leave now, or else..."

"What else?" Bi Yao retorted without backing down.

"Otherwise, you'll never return!" A murderous glint flashed in Sun Fu's eyes.

"Hmph, you think I'm afraid of you?" Bi Yao sneered, her eyes resolute. "I'm here today to take Liu Ermazi away, and no one can stop me!"

"If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences!" Sun Fu's face darkened, and he waved his hand, "Get them! Arrest them!"

The men in black swarmed forward, surrounding Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan.

The atmosphere instantly became extremely tense.

Bi Yao was not intimidated by Sun Fu's threat. Instead, she calmly walked towards him, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

She took out a heavy silver ingot from her sleeve and waved it in front of Sun Fu: "Steward Sun, it's been a long time. This is a gift for you to see each other, a way to catch up."

Sun Fu's eyes lit up, his greedy gaze fixed on the silver.

He thought Bi Yao was scared and wanted to buy her safety with money, which made him even more smug.

He reached out to take it, his face plastered with a fawning smile: "Miss Bi, you're too kind. Since you're so considerate, then..."

Before she could finish speaking, Bi Yao flicked her wrist, quickly retrieved the silver, and put it back into her sleeve pocket.

She looked at Sun Fu with a half-smile, her tone suddenly turning cold: "I advise you to think carefully about whether you want to accept this 'gift'. If you don't cooperate today, you will definitely regret it later."

Sun Fu's smile froze instantly, looking as if he had swallowed a fly.

Enraged, he pointed at Bi Yao and yelled, "You won't listen to reason! Who do you think you are, daring to threaten me? Get her! Take this arrogant little brat down!"

Upon receiving the order, the men in black immediately pounced on Bi Yao with menacing expressions.

Just as the first man in black was about to punch Bi Yao in the face, she calmly dodged to the side, deftly avoiding the attack.

Immediately afterwards, a strange energy fluctuation emanated from her body, like an invisible suction force, absorbing all the wind from the punch thrown by the man in black.

The next second, a shocking scene unfolded.

Bi Yao raised her slender hand and gently pushed, and a powerful energy wave rebounded back, hitting the man in black squarely in the chest.

The man in black flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground with a scream.

The men in black around them were all stunned, staring in disbelief at what was happening before their eyes.

They had never seen such bizarre kung fu before, and for a moment they dared not go forward.

Sun Fu was dumbfounded, his face turning deathly pale.

Bi Yao's icy gaze swept over everyone, her tone chilling: "I'll say it again, let Liu Ermazi come out. Otherwise..." She didn't finish her sentence, but the coldness in her eyes sent shivers down the spines of everyone present.

"Yao Yao, be careful!" Jiang Ruiyuan was worried that Bi Yao would get hurt, so he tightly shielded her in front of him...

Jiang Ruiyuan was worried that Bi Yao would get hurt, so he instinctively stood in front of her, showing his strong boyfriend qualities.

Bi Yao felt Jiang Ruiyuan's warmth and strength. The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with ambiguity.

Bi Yao's cheeks flushed slightly, while Jiang Ruiyuan held her hand tightly, as if to say, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Seeing this, Sun Fu cursed inwardly, "How sweet! Don't they know where they are?" He smiled sinisterly, "Trying to be a hero and save the beauty? Don't they know how much they're capable of?" At his command, the men in black attacked again.

Just at this critical moment, a ragged little boy suddenly darted out from the crowd, grabbed Bi Yao's sleeve, and said in his childish voice, "Sister, I know where Liu Ermazi is, I'll take you there!"

Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan exchanged a glance, a glimmer of hope igniting in their hearts.

This is absolutely brilliant!

Seizing the opportunity, the two nimbly weaved among the men in black, following the little boy deeper into the factory.

Seeing this, Sun Fu was furious: "Damn it! Chase them! Don't let them get away!" The men in black pursued them relentlessly like vicious dogs, and the scene became chaotic.

The little boy led Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan through a maze of turns until they arrived at a hidden basement entrance.

He pointed to the entrance and said, "Liu Ermazi is inside." After saying that, the little boy ran off in a flash, disappearing instantly as if he were an NPC who had completed a mission.

Bi Yao and Jiang Ruiyuan exchanged a glance, both seeing determination in each other's eyes.

Jiang Ruiyuan drew the dagger he was carrying and pried open the lock on the basement.

A musty smell hit her, and Bi Yao covered her nose before cautiously entering.

The basement was pitch black; you couldn't see anything.

"Liu Ermazi?" Bi Yao called out tentatively.

"Who? Who's there?" a trembling voice came from the darkness.

Bi Yao was overjoyed and quickly said, "We're here to help you!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than the basement door was slammed shut with a loud bang, making Bi Yao's heart skip a beat.

Sun Fu's chilling voice came from outside the door: "Want to find Liu Ermazi? Dream on! You can just wait here to die!"

Bi Yao: ...This plot development is a bit exciting!
