The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 1423 - 1436: Days Favored by the Escape Boss (37)

Chapter 1423: Chapter 1436: Days Favored by the Escape Boss (37)

As someone came in, all around, either openly or with hidden malice, eyes instantly fell on Cai Tianxin and Cai Hong.

They bore an aura of hostility, much like Lan Xiaotian; indeed, they were the same kind of people.

Cai Tianxin pulled Cai Hong to quicken their pace. Just at the corner, his gaze was caught by a woman.

Compared to everyone else he saw, although she was expressionless, neither hysterical nor pleading, and just quietly sat there, she felt to him much crazier and more dangerous.

The others were like caged beasts in a struggle, even if reluctant, they seemed resigned to their fate.

But she was different; Cai Tianxin couldn’t tell what made her different, but he was somewhat intrigued.

After he and his sister came out from the room where Lan Xiaotian was held, Cai Hong finally showed a long-lost, cheerful smile.

Recalling the first sight of Lan Xiaotian just now, they could hardly believe the person before them was someone they knew.

Lan Xiaotian had swollen red pimples on his forehead, his cheeks pitted like the surface of the moon, dressed in hospital garb, his sleazy demeanor was unmistakable.

Lan Xiaotian was clearly flustered too. At the first sight of Cai Hong, he instinctively turned his back to hide the appearance he was ashamed of.

"It’s pitiful to see a mouse beaten back to its original form," Cai Tianxin coldly mocked.

Lan Xiaotian glared back with bloodshot eyes, ferociously frightening, and said, "Cai Tianxin, do you want to die? Even if you’re Xiaohong’s real brother, don’t think I won’t do anything to you."

"Go on, do something to me then, only too bad... now might be your last moments of happiness, enjoy it while you can."

"You, what do you mean?" Lan Xiaotian panicked, as if realizing something, he fell to his knees with a thud, "Xiao Hong, we at least shared a bed, please help me, help me get out of here."

"In your dreams, I wish you were dead already."

...

After thoroughly mocking his enemy, as they left, Cai Tianxin subconsciously sought the trail of that woman earlier.

He learned that her name was Xu Qingqing, merely a peripheral member of the Infinite Horror organization, with a powerful mother outside exerting influence, so she was quickly taken out.

As for someone special like Lan Xiaotian, when they left, Cai Tianxin keen-eyed saw several research cars drive in.

After coming out, Cai Tianxin never forgot that woman.

Don’t misunderstand, it wasn’t love at first sight, but rather apprehension, inexplicable, deep apprehension.

He found out that the woman named Xu Qingqing was the stepdaughter brought over by the former chairman of the Su Family’s second wife, now the stepdaughter of the current chairman.

Anyway, the relationship was very complicated.

Cai Tianxin couldn’t quite grasp his own feelings, just arranged for people to monitor her vicinity, ready to collect evidence to report if she stepped out of line.

He sincerely hoped that people like Lan Xiaotian would never appear again.

Their so-called uniqueness represented the suffering of the surrounding ordinary citizens, whether subjectively or objectively caused by them.

However, even after decades without relaxing, Xu Qingqing never did anything dangerous, but witnessed several dramatic, dog-blood family dramas.

Indeed, art originates from life.

It’s not that Xu Qingqing didn’t have a desire to stir things up, but she had the idea without the capacity or ambition to support it.

Cai Tianxin knew Xu Qingqing was hoarding magazines of strange tales, researching the way of gods and ghosts, but besides spending money, achieved nothing.

Moreover, the man her mother newly bonded with was unlike the former chairman of the Su Group, who cherished her tenderly.

He didn’t even consider marrying Mrs. Xu, they maintained a middle-aged dating relationship, no matter how hard Mrs. Xu tried, she couldn’t climb her way up.

Later, Mrs. Xu conceived a child in old age, earning entry into the family.

The new stepfather wasn’t like the previous one either; he was openly biased, yet logically so, but he favored his own biological daughter.

Facing Mrs. Xu’s tearful complaints, he blatantly said, if I don’t favor my own child, am I supposed to raise someone else’s child? I’m not crazy.

And Mr. Su, who was once considered crazy, remained a laughing stock in the circle for a long time.

For someone else’s daughter, he estranged his own daughter to the point of enmity, yet... they left, patting their buttocks, even getting pregnant with a second child.

The new stepfather wasn’t a fool, naturally, Xu Qingqing couldn’t gain too many extra benefits from him.

Only after truly losing what she once disdained did she realize that her previous arrogance and pride were because she never lacked those material things.

Though she and her mother were genuinely poor, they never suffered; there was always someone offering wealth and power, urging them to accept it.

Xu Qingqing had never thought anything amiss before, even internally sneering at Su Li.

It wasn’t until others no longer gave that she discovered... the only things in this world that won’t truly disappear are those created by oneself.

What others give can be taken back at any time, and then she’d be left with nothing.

Just like... now.

In life as in games.

The days of wielding non-human powers were like a fleeting epiphyllum, appearing and vanishing quickly, but bringing endless trouble and desire.

Cai Tianxin simply watched Xu Qingqing, her life a mess.

Yet he never had the thought of lending a hand.

Well into his old age, he even used Xu Qingqing as a model, a template to educate future generations, warning them: one must be down-to-earth, never immersing in illusory phantoms, nor expect pie from the sky, as it might just be a poisonous pie.

--------------

Su Li, upon leaving the small world, took the opportunity to repair the weakened barrier that had been damaged.

Many ordinary people like Xu Qingqing had been pulled into a different world, shuttling back and forth; sooner or later, this small world would face a great calamity.

"Found you," as the voice fell, accompanied by the blinding sword light slashing down from the sky dome.

Su Li swiftly evaded, and only when the light receded did he notice an old acquaintance had arrived.

Haojun God, clutching his chest, hadn’t actually thought his sword would harm Su Li.

Floating in the air, spirit light suddenly flared, Haojun God looked down coldly at Su Li like a luminous being with immortal energy, "You’re quite good."

Su Li flicked his sleeve, smiled, "You’re not bad either."

"Found me so quickly, I thought I could drag you for a bit more time."

Haojun God: "Are you being sarcastic?"
