"Heh, you only deleted the copy on your phone, but I still have hundreds of copies on my computer."
Boom—
Chen Yun felt as if something had struck her head, all color draining from her face.
She stared at the man before her, trembling all over. Seven years! After seven years of love, she never imagined that the person who once professed his love for her had now transformed into a monster.
It turns out that when someone shows their true colors, it can be utterly terrifying!
"Aren't you afraid I'll call the police?!" Chen Yun managed to squeeze out these words through gritted teeth, fighting against her fear and anger.
Hearing this, the scumbag across from her burst into laughter.
Shaking his head, he spoke mockingly: "Hahaha, Chen Yun, oh Chen Yun, who the hell do you think you're threatening? Call the police? Do you dare?!"
"You women, isn't this the only thing of value you have? Do you have any evidence? Have I actually distributed anything? Have I broken any laws? No, right?"
"What can you do by calling the police? At most, they'll give me a warning and tell us to resolve it ourselves! Before anything actually happens, the law is useless!"
"You're such a slut, imagine if I sent these photos to your friends, colleagues, tsk tsk tsk, and then to your relatives, wouldn't that be interesting?"
"Chen Yun, blame yourself for being so heartless to me. If you keep pushing me, I'll have no choice but to..."
The scumbag approached Chen Yun step by step. Chen Yun was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes. She wanted nothing more than to grab him and end it all right there.
But she couldn't!
She still had her parents, her friends, her future!
Chen Yun glared at the scumbag with bloodshot eyes, her body tense and on guard.
The scumbag, like a born demon in power, cast a contemptuous and disdainful look at Chen Yun, convinced that women always cower and retreat when faced with such situations!
This Chen Yun was still as stupid as ever!
The scumbag's gaze dropped, noticing the two large bags of groceries in Chen Yun's hands: "How long has it been since you left me, and you've already found someone new?"
"You've been tired of my poverty for a while, haven't you? Been fooling around with other men?"
"Just like your friend Lin Lin, nothing but a gold digger!"
Chen Yun felt a chill run through her body, experiencing an indescribable sense of despair. She spat back bitterly, "It's Gu Sang and her friend. If you don't leave now, when Gu Sang gets here, she won't let you off easy."
"We'll discuss the money later. I'm warning you, don't come to my place again, or I'll fight you to the bitter end!"
Chen Yun knew that Gu Sang was loyal and would stand up for her.
But she absolutely couldn't let her friend know about this dirty business!
She didn't want to appear so wretched and embarrassed in front of her friends.
She knew that given Gu Sang's personality, she would immediately take her to report to the police, but what could the police do in this situation?
The scumbag hadn't taken any action yet, hadn't actually broken any laws, so the police couldn't do anything even if they wanted to.
Only when real harm was done could he be convicted, but if that harm was done, she... she wouldn't be able to face anyone. How could she face her relatives, friends, and colleagues... She couldn't report to the police, and she didn't dare to.
Some things, you only truly understand how helpless and painful they are when they happen to you. She couldn't bring herself to disregard what others would think of her and fight the scumbag to the bitter end!
"Gu Sang is coming?" The scumbag's face changed instantly upon hearing that Gu Sang was on her way.
Gu Sang wasn't as easy to fool as Chen Yun.
Gu Sang had never liked him, and her family was wealthy and influential. If she saw him here, she definitely wouldn't let him off easy.
"Fine! I'll leave for now. Chen Yun, you'd better think this through carefully, or I'll make sure your reputation is ruined!" The scumbag warned Chen Yun a few more times before hurriedly leaving.
Just his luck.
As he was leaving the building, the scumbag ran into Gu Sang, who was getting out of Lu Mufei's car.
Gu Sang immediately frowned in disgust: "What are you doing here?"
The scumbag quickly made up an excuse: "Nothing, just discussing money matters with Chen Yun."
He didn't dare say more, fearing Gu Sang might become suspicious, and quickly left.
Gu Sang and Lu Mufei arrived at Chen Yun's rented apartment. The room was simply furnished, showing that Chen Yun was a person of few desires, caring only that the room was clean and tidy, not needing it to be particularly cozy.
After all, this was just a rental, not her real home.
Gu Sang went to the kitchen to help prepare vegetables, and casually asked:
"Why did that scumbag come to find you? How did he know where you live?"
Chen Yun kept her head down as she washed the vegetables, showing no emotion.
"I never told him. I don't know how he found out I live here."
Gu Sang warned, "Maybe one of your friends told him. You need to be careful in the future. Getting entangled with a man like that will ruin your life."
"Don't give in either. Giving in will only make him more aggressive."
Chen Yun kept her head down, responding with a soft murmur.
A tear fell from Chen Yun's face into the running water.
It was too late.
Everything was too late.
Life really is a series of mistakes, one leading to another.
She was just an ordinary person. In a situation like this, what options did she have to save herself other than calling the police...
-
Ancient plague-ridden city.
Now, with the imperial troops terrified by the cannons, they wouldn't dare to invade again in the short term.
The Princess appointed Counselor Fang and Scholar Xu to manage the plague city, and after Zhou Qichen was stationed to guard it, she took the specially trained soldiers and traveled day and night to reach Fujian.
Several days later, they arrived in Fujian.
A man who looked like a storyteller was already waiting respectfully at the city gate.
Seeing the Princess enter the city, he stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, this humble servant has already booked an inn. Please rest there for the night."
The Princess immediately rejected his decision: "It's still early. Take me to the village you mentioned in your letter, where the potatoes were discovered."
The storyteller dared not delay and immediately led everyone to Yang Family Village.
Upon entering the village, the storyteller spoke, "Your Highness, in all of Fujian, only Yang Family Village grows a large quantity of potatoes. It took this humble servant a long time to find this place."
"Once the matter is settled, you will be rewarded."
"Thank you, Your Highness. It is my honor to serve you."
After the Princess mentioned the reward, the smile on the storyteller's face seemed even more genuine.
An hour later.
The Princess and her party arrived at the village chief's house. The storyteller went ahead to explain the Princess's intentions to the village chief.
"This humble servant pays respects to Your Highness," the village chief said, bowing deeply.
The village chief, frightened, hurriedly welcomed the Princess into the house. His face was filled with reverence and trepidation, and he spoke with extreme caution: "Princess, so this thing is called a potato!"
"Your timing is impeccable, as it's currently the potato harvesting season."
"We've just cooked some potatoes at home. Let me bring you a few to taste."
Seeing that the Princess didn't object, the village chief immediately asked his wife to bring over a bowl of potatoes. The bowl contained three golden-brown baked potatoes.
The Princess peeled the skin off a potato and took a small bite.
It was sweet and soft, and after eating less than half, she already felt satisfied.
It was indeed far better than drinking porridge.
Now that the sweet potatoes in the plague-stricken city had entered their mature phase, if potatoes were added to the mix, there would truly be no worries about food for the soldiers and civilians!
