After making all those arrangements, she finally settled down to grind her professional experience, stopping only after both Alchemy and Engineering had reached their current maximum experience.
She placed the cat bed in the yard before the villa entrance and put a serving of lightly seasoned meat beside it every day. Starting today, she was going to build a relationship with this cat bed.
At the beginning of April, Su Yitong and Yu Xunhuan's marriage was finalized. The two families had a meal together, and as Yu Xunhuan's older sister, Yu Xunge naturally attended as well, maintaining a polite smile throughout.
The Su Family's upbringing could not exactly be called good, but it could not be called bad either. They had basic manners, but no respect.
After all, he was just a live-in son-in-law. To put it bluntly, all Su Yitong wanted were the genes behind Yu Xunhuan's face. It did not matter if her children were stupid, but they could not be ugly. The two of them would have to sign all sorts of prenuptial agreements. The Su Family was enormous; even if the old Su couple and all three of their children died, Yu Xunhuan could never control the Su Family as a live-in son-in-law.
Yu Xunge had attended this meal in her previous life too. Back then, the Su Family had been cold toward him, and she had even felt sorry for Yu Xunhuan. Now, though, she simply focused on eating and kept smiling. After the meal, the Su Family left, with only Su Yitong staying behind. Yu Xunge wanted to leave as well, but Yu Xunhuan grabbed her.
Yu Xunhuan looked at Yu Xunge with concern and probed, "Sis, are you unhappy that I'm getting married?"
Catching Su Yitong's strange expression from the corner of her eye, Yu Xunge nearly asked Yu Xunhuan whether she had some sort of grudge against him. Or did he think female rivalry made him more charming? Made Su Yitong feel threatened? Why was he being so petty?
She looked at that bastard Yu Xunhuan with surprise. "How could I be? Of course I'm happy."
Yu Xunhuan looked as if to say, Stop pretending. "Then why have you lately..."
Yu Xunge gave a bitter smile. "I really am happy for you and Yitong. It's just that my company has run into some problems recently. I may lose my job."
Yu Xunhuan still did not quite believe her, but Yu Xunge directly opened her banking app and held up the thirty million in savings before them. "There. Wouldn't you be anxious if you saw that number?"
Yu Xunhuan's smile nearly cracked. He wanted to say, You're just saying that in anger. I don't believe you. But Yu Xunge's expression was far too sincere.
Su Yitong, however, truly believed her. This amount of money was only a month's allowance to her. If Yu Xunge only had this much left, then she really should be anxious. The suspicion that had just risen in Su Yitong's heart completely vanished.
Yu Xunhuan saw Su Yitong's expression too. He knew he could not stir up her sympathy today. Forget it; there would be other chances. Smiling, he took out his phone and prepared to transfer money to Yu Xunge. "Sis, it's okay. I'll support you."
Yu Xunge was just about to smile when, in the next instant, Su Yitong pressed down Yu Xunhuan's hand. She took out her own phone, asked for Yu Xunge's bank account, and transferred twenty million to her. "This is spending money from Xunhuan and me for Sis."
Yu Xunge immediately withdrew the smile she had been giving Yu Xunhuan and smiled at Su Yitong instead. "I have photos of Yu Xunhuan from childhood to now on my phone. I'll send them all to you later. Don't worry, after I send them, I'll delete them from my end. From then on, you'll be the only person in the world who has these photos!"
Su Yitong's smile became several degrees more sincere.
Possessiveness, huh? Female rivalry, huh? You're making me part of your little PLAY, huh?
Watching Yu Xunhuan's smile grow increasingly stiff, Yu Xunge greeted Yu Qingshan and Yi Qiuguo, then waved goodbye in high spirits.
Only after maxing out the most important professions at their current level did Yu Xunge begin stirring things up again.
She had heard no news about the House Liang. After all, she and the Liang family were not in the same social class. Even if the Su Family knew something, they would not tell the Yu Family.
She was not going to wait any longer either. Yu Xunhuan's little scheme today had genuinely disgusted her.
Yu Xunhuan had not been without work these past few years. If he had no job at all, Su Yitong would not have taken a fancy to him. He was a gaming streamer. He was handsome, skilled, and had many fans. He earned hundreds of thousands a month from donations alone.
He also had a small apartment specifically used as a studio.
She did not intend to handle someone like Yu Xunhuan personally. During her escape in her previous life, she had met many fellow fugitives. Following a method one of them had told her, she used her disguise skill to find the city's darker side. Fifty jin of gold in exchange for someone shooting a man's dick apart without killing him was an extremely worthwhile deal.
The gold was from the batch she had taken from Yu Qingshan's study. Using Yu Qingshan's money to end Yu Qingshan's bloodline—wonderful.
Worried that the person she hired might not be able to overcome the protagonist's plot armor, Yu Xunge also set the time of the attack when she paid: the morning of April 5, after Yu Xunhuan left home. Ideally, not many people would see it. She was still counting on Yu Xunhuan marrying into the Su Family.
On the night of April 4, Yu Xunge got up at six in the morning and returned to the Yu Family home to take three luxury handbags she had bought before. She also drank a bottle of Basic Invisibility Potion and Basic Phasing Potion, passed through the wall into Yu Xunhuan's room, and used [Wheel of Fortune] on the person in bed, changing his luck value to 1.
Almost no one in the house knew she had returned, but anyone who bothered to check the surveillance footage in the compound or elevator would see her arrive at six and leave less than half an hour later carrying three designer bags.
At eight in the morning, just after she sold the three handbags to a secondhand store near her home, she heard seven consecutive gunshots from across the street. Yu Xunge's hand froze. No way. His luck was already at 1, and they still couldn't hit him?
A while later, she received word that the job had failed.
"Goddamn it, seven shots! Not one hit! He was just running around blindly, yet he still dodged every single one. It's too damn weird. Is this a movie or something? I'm the Gun King, do you understand what Gun King means?"
Was it too cruel? So even with luck at 1, the protagonist's plot armor would still do everything possible to protect him? After all, the protagonist could escape death, suffer severe injuries, and endure hardships, but he couldn't exactly become a eunuch...
Yu Xunge sent another message. "Try a knife. Don't be too cruel. Just cut off half."
"?"
"Don't worry. The price stays the same even if you only cut off half."
"How did he offend you?" Gun King asked respectfully.
"Hurry up! Otherwise, I won't pay the balance. Remember to take the cut-off piece away and destroy it."
Half an hour later, Yu Xunge received a call from Yi Qiuguo. The woman hysterically told her to hurry to the hospital, saying something had happened to her brother.
Yu Xunge's face beneath her mask remained expressionless, but her voice was worried and panicked. "What happened?! What happened? Hello? Mom?"
Yu Qingshan took the phone. His voice was thick with exhaustion as he gave her an address.
This time, Yu Xunge was truly surprised. It was the underground clinic run by another fellow fugitive she had known back then!
By the time she arrived at the clinic, Yu Xunhuan had already been out of surgery for quite a while.
In the dim, cramped hospital room, Yu Qingshan sat by the bed smoking. Yi Qiuguo was still crying. Upon seeing Yu Xunge enter, she wanted to blame her, but after thinking for a long time, she could not figure out how her son having half his dick cut off could possibly be blamed on Yu Xunge.
After babbling incoherently for a while, she only managed to squeeze out, "Why did you take so long to get here?!"
Then she collapsed over the bed and began crying again.
Yu Xunge's expression was heavy with grief, disbelief within that grief, and even a trace of dazed refusal to accept reality. She was putting her entire life's acting skill into this. "That's impossible! Did he offend someone?"
Yu Qingshan's thoughts had long since drifted elsewhere. The cigarette butt was nearly burning his fingers, yet he had not taken a single drag.
Yi Qiuguo shook her head through her sobs. "He's such a good boy. Who could he possibly have offended?"
Yu Xunge said, "Can it still be reattached?!"
Yi Qiuguo said, "That person had a gun. What kind of grudge was this? He missed at first, then fired another seven shots right after! Later, he even used a knife! He's utterly heartless! A beast..."
Nice!! Those fifty jin of gold weren't wasted!!!
