She reclaimed her family property and broke off her engagement to go to the countryside.

Chapter 23: Has Space Been Discovered?
"Shh, don't talk, come with me."

The man didn't stand on ceremony; he grabbed her hand and started running.

There are people standing guard at the gate, so in case of any unexpected situations, someone will notify you in advance.

This time, things must have been caught off guard, which is why there was such chaos.

Ji Shuyin followed the man for six blocks until they arrived at a dilapidated house. The man opened the door deftly.

She hesitated, after all, their relationship wasn't that good.

"Come in, it's not safe here right now."

Don't worry, I won't hurt you, otherwise I wouldn't have saved you.

Hmm, that makes sense.

Ji Shuyin braced herself, looked around, and then entered the courtyard.

Jiang Shi'an, familiar with the place, entered the main room, sat down at the table, and poured her a glass of water.

The yard was overgrown with weeds, and it didn't look like anyone lived there.

However, the room was very clean. Although there was not much furniture, it was tidied up very carefully.

"where is this place?"

"My home~"

"your home?"

"Yes, my own home."

The conversation between the two was somewhat pointless, so she decided to change the subject.

Why did you end up on the black market?

When this was mentioned, Jiang Shi'an didn't react much and took a sip of the water in front of him.

"I'm going to buy something."

"And you, I saw you take something just now."

What?!

Could it be that Jiang Shi'an has been paying attention to her for a long time, but she just hasn't noticed?

Did he see the tofu being placed in his spatial dimension?
I tried to read something from his face, but he still maintained a faint sense of detachment. I wondered if he had noticed anything.

"It probably ran too fast and got lost. What a pity."

Ji Shuyin, without blushing or skipping a beat, directly said something.

Fortunately, the other party didn't hold a grudge.

"So what did you buy? Did you manage to buy anything?"

"No, I ordered some grain."

Her eyes lit up when she heard there was food.

"How did you order the grain?"

To be honest, I didn't see a single person selling grain when I went there today.

Jiang Shi'an nodded, indicating that it was not surprising.

"You need to go early to buy from retail investors."

If you need a lot, you can order from them.

So, he does have this approach.

However, Jiang Shi'an receives a fixed amount of food every month, which is enough for him, so why does he need to buy more?

A suspicious look was given, and the other person immediately understood, without looking away, and met the gaze directly.

“What you said to me last time really touched me.”

Um, why are we suddenly bringing this up?

"You mean you want to bring Gu Yuncheng down?"

Jiang Shi'an twirled the water glass in his hand, his eyes fixed on the water.

It was as if the water possessed some kind of magic, and I dared not relax for even a second.

No, it wasn't him.

Most importantly, it was my second uncle and aunt.

They took my father's pension, but they didn't treat me well.

My job was sold, and I was forced to work in a chemical plant, where I had to hand over all my earnings.

Ji Shuyin felt a little embarrassed. Why was this aloof and academically gifted student suddenly saying these things to her? The two of them weren't very familiar with each other, so it was somewhat inappropriate.

"So, what are your thoughts now?"

Upon hearing this, the other person raised their head.

Although Jiang Shi'an is very aloof, he has a handsome face.

He's not without his own merits to be considered the school's heartthrob.

"Ji Shuyin, if you don't want Gu Yuncheng to have a good life, I can help you. You're right, people should live for themselves and not dwell on the past."

Those who harm us should not be allowed to get away with it.

So, this person wants to form an alliance with me?
"how do you want to do it?"

She was somewhat tempted, but she couldn't show it; in the current situation, she couldn't trust anyone.

“I want to take back everything that belongs to me. My second uncle and aunt have emptied our family’s coffers and brainwashed me for so many years. I don’t want to tolerate it anymore.”

They used my job back then to exchange for money and a lot of convenience, and I will take all of those things back.

By the way, I can teach Gu Yuncheng a lesson for you.

Well, if that's the case, then it makes sense.

"Gu Yuncheng was often late or left early during his work hours."

Moreover, his personal conduct was also poor, and he had an improper relationship with Tang Weiyu.

All it takes to handle these matters is a whistleblower letter.

The surrounding neighbors can all testify to this.

Jiang Shi'an nodded, without much change in emotion.

"So, even if I don't help, you have your own solutions."

That's right, she doesn't fight unprepared battles.

"of course."

"You've offended the Gu family, so your situation is in grave danger. Do you have any countermeasures?"

Surprisingly, this person actually cared about her.

Ji Shuyin sneered, completely unconcerned.

"It doesn't matter, at worst I'll go to the countryside."

"I'll have to leave that den of wolves and tigers in the Gu family sooner or later."

The other party astutely grasped the key words, and this time, their usually cold gaze sharpened.

"You're going to the countryside?"

Um, she just said she'd go if things didn't work out, and this person actually guessed it?
Never mind then, it won't hurt to tell him.

"I guess so. Until I find a better way out, this is my only option."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Jiang Shian stared at her for a few seconds before reverting to his previous indifferent demeanor.

"In that case, you should indeed stockpile more supplies."

Life in the countryside is tough; having extra food and clothing on hand will make things a little easier.

"Ah."

That's just how it is, and she has no reason to deny it.

"By the way, since you're going to deal with Gu Yuncheng, I hope you can do it sooner rather than later."

But we can't do it too early, that's my previous plan..."

Over the next half hour, Ji Shuyin told him her previous thoughts.

However, it only concerns the report against Gu Yuncheng.

This also allows them enough time to collect evidence.

When that time comes, the two of them will fall from heaven to hell, and they will be just as helpless as she dreamed.

She wasn't just after revenge; there was something more important: she wanted to keep these two people tied down.

They have lost their money and their freedom, so it's estimated that they won't affect their parents, brothers, or sisters-in-law anymore.

She now had more favorable conditions to clear her family's name.

"No problem, leave this to me."

Also, if you need any help, just come here to find me.

I've already moved back.

"OK, no problem."

……

The two worked together happily, and a smile appeared on her face.

When they returned to the Gu family home, Tang Weiyu was indeed there, along with the three Gu siblings.

That's right, the eldest sister of the Gu family, Gu Qingshuang, has also returned, along with her chubby son.

"Shuyin, you're back?"

What did they say over there? Will it work out this time?

Tang Weiyu was very anxious; those things were probably her last trump card.
