Deng Wei nodded. "Zhou Zhiqing did see them talking together!"

Wen Li recalled Shu Yun's every move after she went to the countryside. Many of Shu Yun's actions seemed silly, and she seemed to be used by Tang Shi several times. In the end, although she did not gain any benefits, Tang Shi did not get any good either.

Given that she likes Jiang Chen, it's not impossible for her to do something like this!

"I suspect it's Shu Yun!"

Wen Li shared her guess with everyone, and they all thought it was unlikely.

Qi Jun: "If Shu Zhiqing could ambush Tang Shi and Guo Caixia, what about Zhang Mazi?"

"Although Zhang Mazi is a bit short, he's still a man, and he's quite strong!"

"Could it be that she has accomplices?"

"It's not impossible!"

With a suspect in mind, Wen Li and Chen Yan would occasionally keep an eye on Shu Yun's every move, but she seemed to be doing nothing, going about her business as usual without any abnormalities.

Wen Li sighed inwardly. If it really was her, then her mentality was truly extraordinary.

Wang Gong'an came to the village several more times. Guo Caixia herself had done many bad things and dared not implicate Jiang Chenpan. In the end, no matter how much they investigated, they found no clues.

For the next two weeks or so, no one else in the village was injured, and the matter was pretty much over.

Guo Caixia suffered only external injuries, while Zhang Mazi, due to excessive blood loss, has been recuperating at home since being discharged from the hospital.

When Wen Li started work, she noticed that someone was watching her. She looked up and saw Guo Caixia looking at her with a complicated expression.

Guo Caixia did not shy away at all, but instead stepped forward calmly.

"Can we talk?"

Wen Li didn't think it would be a good thing for Guo Caixia to find her, but she still wanted to hear what Guo Caixia wanted to do, so she followed her to the cowshed.

"Speak!"

"I've gotten what I deserved, now that I'm like this. You should feel better now, right?"

Wen Li shook her finger. "Of course...it's not enough!"

Guo Caixia couldn't understand why Wen Li hated her so much. After all, although she had used her, Wen Li hadn't suffered any losses in their several encounters. Hadn't she also ruined her like this?

Ultimately, this led her to make one wrong step after another!

"I'm actually very curious about how you escaped that day. It was only two or three minutes; you shouldn't have been able to get away!"

Guo Caixia initially thought that Da Niu had failed to deceive the person. After returning home, she questioned Da Niu carefully, and Da Niu confirmed that she had seen her go there.

But when she arrived with her people, Wen Li had vanished.

Wen Li looked at Guo Caixia with a half-smile, "I did fall for it at the time, but after thinking about it carefully, I realized something was wrong. I knew it was a trap, so of course I wouldn't step into it!"

"Something's not right?"

"Ever since Chen Yan encountered the wild boar in the back mountain, she hasn't dared to go there alone again, so it's impossible that Da Niu said Chen Yan got injured alone in the back mountain!"

Guo Caixia smiled bitterly. She hadn't expected that Wen Li would escape because of this detail. She also knew that Chen Yan was afraid to go to the back mountain alone, but she had just overlooked it.

"Hahaha—I see, hahaha, it turns out my supposedly foolproof plan was actually full of flaws!"

As Guo Caixia smiled, tears began to stream down her face.

"I admit defeat this time, Wen Li. I won't let you off the hook. I won't hold back next time. You'd better watch yourself!"

Wen Li's mocking gaze swept over Guo Caixia's face. "Looks like you haven't learned your lesson yet!"

Guo Caixia couldn't stand the way Wen Li looked at her, as if she were a lowly ant. Why should she?

Seeing the surging hatred in her eyes, Wen Li lost all desire to speak to her and turned to leave.

Behind her, the hatred in Guo Caixia's eyes was almost tangible!

If it weren't for Wen Li, she wouldn't have panicked enough to drug Jiang Chen, and none of what followed would have happened.

It was wrong of her to take advantage of Wen Li, but Wen Li completely ruined her own life.

Thinking of the crisscrossing scars on her face and the pain of being unable to have children, she felt an urge to tear Wen Li to pieces.

She won't let Jiang Yue'er and Jiang Chen get away with it. Since there's no hope left in her life, those who have harmed her to this point shouldn't get away with it either!

And... her!

Shu Yun seemed to sense something and raised her head, only to meet Guo Caixia's bloodshot eyes. She slightly curved her lips and then continued to pull up the weeds on the ground as if nothing had happened!

Lu Zechuan took two days off. When he returned, Wen Li noticed that he was very pale and had a faint smell of blood on him.

Wen Li quickly led the person into her house. "Are you injured?"

Lu Zechuan squeezed her hand back, smiling as he looked at Wen Li, "It's just a minor injury. Those human traffickers have been caught. From now on, you can do whatever you want without any more worries!"

Wen Li's expression was tense. Lu Zechuan already had enough wounds. Just thinking about the crisscrossing scars on his body made Wen Li's heart ache inexplicably.

"Did you take your wound to the hospital for treatment?"

"I've already taken care of it myself; it's just a minor injury!"

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Wen Li's expression changed immediately, and she raised her hand to press on his arm.

"Ouch!" Lu Zechuan's face turned pale with pain, but his face still wore that playful grin. "Are you trying to murder your husband?!"

"A minor injury?" Wen Li's face hardened, her tone serious. "Does a minor injury hurt this much?"

Lu Zechuan knew Wen Li was worried about him, and seeing her angry, his tone softened, "It's really not serious, just a small cut!"

While they were talking, bloodstains began to seep from his clothes. Wen Li hadn't expected that her wound would bleed again after she had only pinched it lightly.

"Take off your clothes, I'll treat your wound!"

Lu Zechuan obediently took off his clothes, leaving only an old-fashioned vest underneath. This kind of vest is very selective in terms of who can wear it, but on Lu Zechuan, it gave off a feeling that made people's blood boil.

It's even more embarrassing and heart-pounding than when he's naked.

However, Wen Li didn't have time to admire his physique right now, and reached out to remove the gauze from his arm.

All that could be seen was the 'minor injury' he was talking about, with flesh and blood flying everywhere, covered with a layer of white hemostatic powder.

Wen Li frowned, poured some hot water from the kettle, mixed it with the spiritual spring water, and carefully cleaned his wound. The bleeding gradually stopped, and Wen Li applied medicine and wrapped it with gauze.

Lu Zechuan didn't even flinch the entire time, as if he couldn't feel any pain.

His gaze remained fixed on Wen Li's worried little face.

After treating the wound, Wen Li poured him a glass of cooled boiled water mixed with spiritual spring water and made him drink it.

After he finished drinking the water, his complexion finally looked a little better, and the fatigue on his face lessened.

"Go back and rest! Don't move around too much if you're injured. I'll ask the captain for leave tomorrow. Take good care of yourself!"
