A young boy from the 1970s, separated from his family, fled famine and led his younger brother into

"Quick! Go and call Deputy Commander Wan! His wife has fainted at the supply and marketing cooperative!"

"He's gone mad! I think he's really gone mad! He did something wrong, and a few words from a child made him faint!"

"Now the whole compound knows what kind of person Wu Xiuli is!"

The supply and marketing cooperative was in complete chaos.

Wu Xiuli was quickly taken home by her husband, Wan Guoqiang, who rushed over after hearing the news, with a dark expression.

The news that "Deputy Commander Wan's wife failed to spread rumors and was instead frightened unconscious by a five-year-old prodigy" spread like wildfire throughout every corner of the military compound within an hour.

This time, no one sympathized with Wu Xiuli anymore; everyone looked at her with nothing but contempt and mockery.

Ten thousand families.

"Snapped!"

A loud slap landed hard on Wu Xiuli's face, who had just woken up from having her philtrum pinched.

"You idiot! You crazy woman!"

Wan Guoqiang was so angry that he trembled all over and pointed at her nose, cursing loudly.

"My face! My face, Wan Guoqiang's face! You've completely disgraced me, you gossipy woman!"

"I'm telling you, from today onwards, you're staying home obediently and aren't allowed to go out even once! If you dare to go out and cause trouble again, we're getting a divorce!"

The word "divorce" was like a bucket of ice water, chilling Wu Xiuli to the bone.

She covered her burning face, finally feeling afraid.

But what frightened her even more than her husband's anger was Lu Nianci's innocent yet eerie face.

She always felt that the child was like a ghost, able to see through all the dark corners of her heart.

In the following days, Wu Xiuli indeed stayed indoors and never left the compound, becoming a laughing stock in the neighborhood.

The Lu family's life has completely returned to peace.

Lu Nianci's counterattack was bloodless, yet it was a hundred times more effective than Lu Xingzhou's thunderous rage.

What she wanted was not just to shut people up, but to destroy their spirit!

The goal is to completely destroy Wu Xiuli's spirit!

Lu Nianci knew that someone as jealous as Wu Xiuli wouldn't easily admit defeat.

She's just a venomous snake lying in wait; she'll still jump out and bite given the chance.

Therefore, we must add fuel to the fire so that she can never recover.

Over the weekend, the military region's auditorium screened the internal film "Heroes and Daughters".

Almost all the families in the compound came out, and the Lu family was no exception.

Wu Xiuli, who had been locked up for several days, was also forcibly dragged out of her home by Wan Guoqiang, who ordered her to "interact with more people, so you don't really go crazy from being cooped up."

The movie theater was dimly lit and crowded with people.

Holding her brother Lu Xingzhou's hand, Lu Nianci watched the big screen with excitement, just like an ordinary little girl.

Just as the movie reached its most intense battle scene, Lu Nianci suddenly leaned close to Zhou Yayun's ear and whispered:

"Mom, I need to go to the toilet."

"Okay, Mom will go with you."

"No need, brother can come with me." Lu Nianci said, pulling Lu Xingzhou's hand.

Lu Xingzhou glanced down at her, a knowing smile flashing in his deep eyes.

His younger sister is up to her old tricks again.

He didn't say anything, stood up, took her small hand, and walked out of the screening room.

However, instead of going to the restroom, they stopped at a corner at the end of the corridor.

From here, you can see people coming out of another emergency exit to get some fresh air.

Sure enough, a familiar figure appeared there not long after.

It was Wu Xiuli.

She was clearly reminded of unpleasant memories by the fighting scenes in the movie; she walked out pale-faced, wanting to get some fresh air.

Aunt Wu.

Lu Nianci's voice rang out again, softly.

Wu Xiuli's body trembled violently, and she turned her head as if she had seen a ghost.

When she saw Lu Nianci, and Lu Xingzhou behind her who stood expressionless like a door god, she was so frightened that she almost sat down on the ground.

"What...what do you want to do?!" she screamed, her voice trembling with fear.

"Aunt Wu, don't be afraid." Lu Nianci's face still had that harmless expression.

"I just want to tell you something."

She took two steps forward and lowered her voice in a very mysterious tone.

"I had another dream last night."

Wu Xiuli's heart skipped a beat!

"This time, I dreamed about Brother Wan Chao."

Upon hearing her son's name, Wu Xiuli's pupils instantly contracted!

Wan Chao, her son, is her greatest hope in this life, and also her deepest pain!

"Why are you dreaming about my son?! You little vixen, stay away from my son!" she roared hysterically.

"I don't want to dream about him either," Lu Nianci said, looking innocent and aggrieved.

"But he cried so sadly in his dream, so very sadly."

He said... he hates you.

"Hate me?" Wu Xiuli's expression twisted instantly, as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, or as if her most painful spot had been hit. "He's my son! How could he hate me!"

"He said you never really cared about him." Lu Nianci's eyes seemed to see right through people.

"You only care whether he can outperform my brother in the exam, and whether he can make you look good."

"He said that he didn't do well on the college entrance exam this time, and when you got home you scolded him severely, calling him a good-for-nothing and a hopeless case."

He said he felt like he was just a tool to make you save face.

He said... "You're so scary."

Lu Nianci's every word was like a knife, slowly torturing Wu Xiuli's heart!

Because all of these words were actually things she had said when scolding her son!

How could that little devil know?!

Could it be... could she really be a psychic? Could she see what's happening in other people's homes?

"You...you're talking nonsense! You're lying!" Wu Xiuli's lips were completely bloodless.

"I didn't lie to you," Lu Nianci sighed.

"In his dream, Wan Chao said that he didn't want to go to that ordinary military academy anymore, because he thought it was meaningless."

He said he wanted to... repeat a year of high school.

He said that if he still can't get into the National University of Defense Technology next year, he won't live anymore.

These last words struck Wu Xiuli like a bolt from the blue!

Repeat a grade? Or do you want to die?

This is exactly what she fears most!

She looked at the little girl in front of her with deep, unfathomable eyes and a frighteningly calm expression, and an unprecedented chill ran from the soles of her feet straight to her head!

She felt that all her secrets and all her fears were clearly seen through by this child!

In front of this child, she was like a naked clown stripped bare!

"ah--!"

Wu Xiuli let out a scream that sounded inhuman, clutched her head, and squatted down like a madwoman!

"You devil! You're a devil! Stay away from me! Stay away from my son!"

She completely broke down.

Lu Nianci looked at her coldly, having achieved her goal.

She tugged at Lu Xingzhou's hand and whispered, "Brother, let's go back. The movie is almost over."

Lu Xingzhou gave her a deep look, then bent down and picked her up in his arms.

In the instant they turned around, no one noticed.

In the shadows at the other end of the corridor, a tall figure stood silently.

It's Wan Chao.

He took in everything that had just happened, his mother's breakdown, and Lu Nianci's devilish words.

He looked at Lu Nianci, who was being held in Lu Xingzhou's arms like a princess, and then at his mother, who was curled up on the ground like a mad dog.

In the dim light, his young face was expressionless.

But those eyes, hidden in the shadows, were churning a complex and dangerous storm that no one could understand.
