The boss was called Sunzhi. As he was rather skilled in fighting, he had over a dozen lackeys under him. They were all originally security guards who received some professional training, which explained their ability to fight. In the east, they were figures who nobody dared to offend.

Wen Xinya and Zhong Rufeng were brought to a small bar by Sunzhi. The air in the bar was shrouded in smoke, and all the hooligans were either gathered to smoke or drinking together. It was an extremely unpleasant environment.

Sunzhi led Wen Xinya to the basement. “When will she get here?” Wen Xinya asked.

Sunzhi pondered and replied, “I think around half an hour!”

Wen Xinya then turned away and stood silently. Who knew what she was thinking at this moment?

Zhong Rufeng frowned. Looking at Wen Xinya, he felt really uneasy. “Xinya, what are you going to do? Why are you luring that person to a place like this?”

Wen Xinya replied, “I’ve always been one to take revenge. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”

Zhong Rufeng thought she was taking things too far. Yet, he had no idea how to convince her to stop.

Wen Xinya understood the expression on Zhong Rufeng’s face. Her expression turned dark as she continued, “I’ll not let anyone who tries to hurt me get off easily. She may have failed this time around, but what about the next time? Or the time after that? It’s not my nature to remain passive when I clearly know that somebody is trying to cause me harm.”

Zhong Rufeng couldn’t utter a single word. He knew that Wen Xinya would have been badly hurt if he had not reached in time just now. “I may not know if you are doing the right thing or not, but I will not get in your way.”

Zhong Rufeng was not naive. He knew better than anybody else the hidden corruption that existed within the circle. As such, although he was unsure of Wen Xinya’s course of action, he would not easily judge her for it.

“I’ll only attack when I’m being attacked. And when I do so, I’ll make sure to hit back a hundred times harder. I’m going to teach that person an unforgettable lesson so that she’ll never dare to come after me again.”

After hearing Zhong Rufeng’s words earlier, Wen Xinya saw him in a new light. The bad feeling she had of him was completely gone. Zhong Rufeng was not only a righteous man but also a fair judge. A person like him had a strong set of values that would not be swayed by any law, yet knew to follow certain rules as was proper. Such a person was worthy to make connections with. It was no wonder he could achieve such a great position in the previous life.

Zhong Rufeng nodded and did not say anything further.

After waiting for a while, one of Sunzhi’s underlings led the black cad Jiang Ruoyin into the basement. “Can I really watch Wen Xinya getting raped in this basement?”

In a swift movement, the underling bolted out of the room and locked the door.

Feeling that something was not right, Jiang Ruoyin rushed to the door and began knocking furiously. “What are you doing? Why have you locked me in the basement? Let me go! I’m Jiang Ruoyin of the Jiang family, you can’t do this to me!”

“Miss Jiang, nobody’s going to care about you no matter how hard you hit the door.” Wen Xinya slowly emerged from the shadows of the basement. There was a glint of mischief in her eyes.
