Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 823 - 818: Encountering an Enemy

In this situation, Zhou Yunmei decided to use the money she had and live in the city for now. She planned to rent a place temporarily, settle down first, and then find something to do to earn a living, just to get by for now.

As for Luo Dashan, as long as she didn't divorce, she was still Luo Dashan's wife, and she had the right to do what a wife should do.

Anyway, she wouldn't ask Luo Dashan to do anything for her when she had nothing to do. But once she had something on her mind, she would definitely come back to him. They've been married for a lifetime, and there's no way Luo Dashan could just shake her off like that.

Moreover, she felt that Luo Dashan was so determined to divorce this time because of another factor—Xiutao. Luo Dashan was probably thinking he could rekindle their relationship, so he was so resolute this time.

She remembered that in the past, no matter what mistakes she made, Luo Dashan was never this determined.

Even that time with Xu He, which almost cost him his life, ended without a divorce; they merely lived apart.

Based on Zhou Yunmei's temperament, she would never allow Luo Dashan to abandon her and be with Xiutao. If she wasn't happy, she would ensure that no one else would be happy either. Even if she had to die, she would drag Luo Dashan along for life.

However, she knew that the reason Luo Dashan had Luo Zhiming take her to the hostel was actually to monitor her, preventing her from doing anything else during the night. Thus, she acted as if she didn't oppose it, merely nodding her head, pretending to agree to go home and divorce the next morning, and obediently followed Luo Zhiming to the hostel.

After Zhou Yunmei and Luo Zhiming arrived at the hostel, she didn't ask him to plead for her. Instead, she cried for a while in front of Luo Zhiming, said goodbye, instructed him to take care of himself if she went home. Then, as night approached, she mentioned being tired and wanting to sleep for a while.

Luo Zhiming saw Zhou Yunmei didn't seem to have any other ideas, so he didn't guard against her much. Seeing Zhou Yunmei lying on the bed as if asleep, he also lay down on the other bed, intending to nap for a bit. He planned to go buy something for them to eat later and then take Zhou Yunmei to the train station early the next morning.

However, after Zhou Yunmei pretended to sleep for a while, she waited until Luo Zhiming fell asleep and then quietly flipped over, got up, grabbed two small bags she carried, and silently opened the door to leave.

Zhou Yunmei thought, why should she go back just because Luo Dashan asked her to, and why should she divorce just because he wanted to? She didn't believe she couldn't make it alone in the city.

She had money now; what couldn't she do? Besides, she could even live comfortably.

However, perhaps Zhou Yunmei had done too many bad things in her life, and even the heavens didn't want her to live comfortably. Shortly after she left the hotel, planning to find another hostel for the night and then look for a rented room during the day, she was spotted by her biggest enemy.

That enemy was Xu He, whom Zhou Yunmei had brutally beaten and robbed of money not long ago.

Xu He originally wanted to seek revenge on Fang Pingying, so she stayed near Fang Pingying's old house. Moreover, the place where Luo Dashan lived was near Fang Pingying's old house. With Xu He being wanted by the police, she usually dared not go out during the day, only buying essentials at night.

She truly didn't expect her luck to be this good today. While she planned to buy something, she unexpectedly ran into Zhou Yunmei.

In Xu He's heart, besides feeling Fang Pingying was her nemesis, the person she hated the most was Zhou Yunmei.

For Fang Pingying, Xu He merely felt jealous and unwilling, thinking the heavens unfairly gave everything good to Fang Pingying. Her heart was unbalanced and wanted Fang Pingying to fall or have a miserable life so she could feel at ease; but she didn't have many direct confrontations with Fang Pingying. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

However, Zhou Yunmei!

Thinking about how Zhou Yunmei harshly abused her and stole her money, leaving her in such a miserable state, Xu He wished she could bite Zhou Yunmei to pieces.

These days, besides plotting revenge against Fang Pingying, Xu He kept wondering how to deal with Zhou Yunmei, only assuming Zhou Yunmei had gone back, delaying her plans for revenge.

Today, her luck was just incredible.

Initially, Xu He, worried about the crowd, kept following Zhou Yunmei secretly without taking any action. Then, when Zhou Yunmei walked alone past a less populated alley carrying a bag, Xu He forcefully pulled Zhou Yunmei into the alley.

Xu He had prepared well, immediately started beating Zhou Yunmei without hesitation, then pressed down on Zhou Yunmei, searching her body for money.

Knowing Zhou Yunmei, Xu He was aware she liked keeping money in a small bag close to her body.

Due to being quickly pulled into the alley and hit several times without responding or understanding what was happening, Zhou Yunmei was dazed. Only upon feeling someone reaching for her money and not seeing who it was in the dark alley did she panic, but she firmly held her inner pocket and shouted, "Who are you, and why are you hitting me?"

Xu He kept silent; she didn't intend for Zhou Yunmei to know who she was yet.

But Zhou Yunmei suddenly yelled loudly, "Help! Someone is robbing me, help!"

Worried Zhou Yunmei's shouts might attract someone, Xu He suddenly stopped searching Zhou Yunmei and reached for the discarded wooden stick nearby, glaring angrily at Zhou Yunmei, then fiercely struck her.

This strike was with full force, almost knocking Zhou Yunmei unconscious instantly.

After Zhou Yunmei fainted, Xu He easily found the money. But, strangely enough, after thoroughly searching Zhou Yunmei, she only found tens of dollars in her outer pocket and US$ 200 in her inner pocket, without any other money in her belongings.

Enraged, Xu He almost wanted to beat Zhou Yunmei to death but remembered the money and didn't want to let Zhou Yunmei off easily. How Zhou Yunmei tormented her before, she intended to return in kind.

If Zhou Yunmei's attitude was poor, she wouldn't hesitate to torment Zhou Yunmei to death. Anyway, having fallen this far, with either a lifetime in prison if caught by the police or wandering around forever, she feared nothing and didn't mind killing an enemy.
