Wen Zhi had not expected that shortly after her return, one by one, members of the He Family all sought private meetings with her.
It seemed that her presence had already made a certain impact on them.
Otherwise, why would they start paying attention to her when they had once treated her as if she were invisible?
When He Wenyan invited her for a meeting, she hadn't arranged a specific location but had only sent a precise position, which happened to require crossing a street.
Wen Zhi looked up at the traffic light and, seeing that there were still more than ten seconds left before the next red light, decided not to wait and started walking toward the road.
The other passersby didn't seem in any hurry to get anywhere and didn't compete for the green light.
It turned out that Wen Zhi was the only person crossing the road.
As she was looking down at her phone and following the route, suddenly a large truck bore down on her without any intention of honking its horn.
"Quick, move! There's a car coming!"
A kind-hearted passerby shouted out.
Upon hearing this, Wen Zhi stopped in her tracks and as she lifted her head, she saw the truck barreling towards her at an abnormally high speed.
Her pupils constricted sharply, her brain momentarily froze, and her blood seemed to flow backward.
The appearance of the truck was too sudden, leaving Wen Zhi with no time to react,
In the face of impending death, it is natural to feel fear, and even Wen Zhi, who had already died once, felt fear when she felt death approaching again.
She did not want to die in vain.
She hadn't even begun to carry out her plan for revenge!
As the truck swiftly approached, Wen Zhi's mind was flooded with memories of the past, and, as a result of overwhelming stress, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
Wen Zhi slowly came to after an indeterminate amount of time.
She still had the memories from before she lost consciousness, and the thought of the truck caused Wen Zhi to look around, only to find herself in a large warehouse. Her originally tense heart instantly relaxed a bit.
Thankfully, she hadn't died.
As long as she was alive, everything could be discussed.
Wen Zhi wanted to check if there was anything wrong with her body, but as she tried to move her arm, she felt a resistance preventing her.
Looking down, she saw that her wrists and ankles were tied to a chair and she was momentarily stunned.
She hadn't been hit by the truck, but she had been tied up?
Which group of people was it?
Wen Zhi was puzzled for a moment.
After all, she had only just returned and it seemed unlikely she would have made enemies so quickly, unless it was someone she knew, someone who would harm her.
Thinking this way, the range of suspects narrowed considerably.
She mentally ran through any suspicious individuals, feeling that anyone could be a potential suspect, yet she had no evidence and couldn't prove who was responsible.
Just as Wen Zhi was pondering over who it might be, the tightly closed doors of the warehouse were pushed open from the outside, and a figure appeared in her line of sight.
Because the figure was far away and somewhat backlit, she couldn't see clearly at first and could only squint to try to make out the newcomer.
The person made no attempts to hide and stood boldly in front of Wen Zhi, a mocking expression on their face.
"With such petty tricks, you really think you can come between my brother and my sister-in-law? You clearly haven't weighed your own worth."
Wen Zhi looked up, returning He Wenyan's condescending gaze with one full of contempt, not taking her seriously at all.
So it was her.
Seeing a familiar face, Wen Zhi didn't feel much tension; instead, she let out a relaxed laugh.
"You really are a good sister, so considerate of your brother."
He Wenyan failed to detect the sarcasm, responding arrogantly with a snort, her head raised slightly, "Of course, my brother has achieved so much today after enduring hardships. Marrying Bai Yuewan will take his power to the next level. How could we let someone like you, who can't even present herself properly, get involved with them?"
"You're nothing but a toy for us in the He Family to amuse ourselves with when we're bored. And yet, you delusionally dream of becoming a part of our He Family? I think you're daydreaming!"
Become a part of the He Family?
She had never thought of that.
She wished she could wipe them all out!
The smile on Wen Zhi's face didn't diminish, but however you looked at it, the smile seemed a bit unsettling.
He Wenyan thought that after being kidnapped, Wen Zhi would be panicked, scared, or even beg for mercy, but none of what she expected happened, which was somewhat infuriating.
"What are you laughing at! You are at my mercy now, aren't you afraid?"
Faced with He Wenyan's interrogation, Wen Zhi didn't respond but retorted with a question, "Does your brother know about this?"
He Wenyan's expression suddenly stiffened.
Clearly, her actions were kept secret from He Hanjin.
If He Hanjin knew that she had kidnapped Wen Zhi, he would definitely not let her off easily; at the very least, she would be confined for several days.
She couldn't understand what was so captivating about the woman before her that made her own brother constantly lower his standards.
"He will understand my good intentions sooner or later! We are siblings!"
"Even close siblings should settle accounts clearly, He Wenyan. You should have some idea about where I stand in his heart. If something really happened to me, are you truly confident that you can withstand his fury?"
He Hanjin was hopelessly devoted to her; how could he easily let go?
He Wenyan was naturally aware of this and knew just how much her brother currently cared about Wen Zhi.
But the more it was so, the more she wanted to personally sever this connection that should never have existed!
Bai Yuewan was the one who should marry her brother! Only then could the He Family ascend to even greater heights!
Wen Zhi saw the expression on He Wenyan's face and understood her thoughts. With a light chuckle she said, "Do you think if you ruin me, He Hanjin would completely give up on me? Don't forget, I've been abroad for so many years, everything I've been through, none of it bothered him."
"Oh, right, you might not know this, but I've not only slept with him once. He desired me insatiably, over and over—I must say, his stamina is quite commendable, barely enough to satisfy my needs."
Wen Zhi's lips curled slightly, exuding charm.
Even in this moment of being kidnapped, there was not a trace of panic, like a dazzling red rose blooming in a quagmire.
He Wenyan didn't like her flamboyant demeanor, grinding her teeth with a grating sound.
"You are nothing but a plaything for my brother! You don't deserve to be by his side! I will completely destroy you, so you no longer have the courage to appear before him!"
With that, she clapped her hands, and immediately two tall men walked into the warehouse from outside, standing on either side of He Wenyan.
