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

"A bad guy? Wang Bei, don't be afraid, tell your sister, what kind of bad guy is he?"

Lu Nianci snatched the phone, her voice trembling slightly with urgency.

"I...I don't know..." Wang Bei's voice was filled with fear on the other end of the phone. "They were wearing the same clothes as Grandpa, but...but their eyes were so scary, like wolves!"

"As soon as they arrived, Grandpa and Grandma's faces turned really ugly..."

Wearing the same clothes?

They're from the military!

The "Water Ghost" organization has indeed infiltrated the highest levels of the military!

"Look north! Listen to me..."

Lu Nianci wanted to ask something more, but the phone was suddenly taken by someone else.

It was Gu Wanjun.

His voice was extremely heavy and weary.

"Niannian, don't worry, everything's fine at home."

"With Grandpa around, no one can touch a hair on Wang Bei's head."

"Right now, don't think about anything, don't worry about anything. Your only task is to do well on the exam!"

"Remember, the exam hall is your battlefield! You must win this battle!"

After saying that, Old Master Gu hurriedly hung up the phone, clearly not wanting them to get too involved in the mess in Beijing.

But this deliberate concealment only made the atmosphere in the Lu family even more tense.

The enemy has already begun their operation.

They chose to disturb Lu Nianci's mind by provoking Wang Bei on the eve of the college entrance examination.

How malicious their intentions are!

"Brother, I'm worried about Wang Bei..." Lu Nianci's face was full of worry.

"Don't worry." Lu Xingzhou placed his hand heavily on her shoulder, his eyes sharp as knives.

"The Gu family is not to be trifled with. Since they dared to target Wang Bei, they should be prepared to be uprooted."

"Now, don't think about anything."

He stared into her eyes and said, slowly and deliberately, "Go to sleep. Get plenty of rest. Tomorrow, in the exam hall, crush them!"

Under Lu Xingzhou's powerful aura, Lu Nianci finally suppressed her anxiety and obediently went back to her room to sleep.

Lu Xingzhou, however, did not sleep.

He moved a chair and quietly stood guard at his sister's door.

Like a silent guardian, it sheltered her from all the storms and dangers of the outside world.

This night appeared calm on the surface, but undercurrents were surging beneath.

Meanwhile, in a dark corner of Harbin.

Another conspiracy targeting Lu Nianci is also brewing.

Wan Chao.

The boy who was suppressed by the Lu and Gu families for writing a letter of denunciation, resulting in his father being demoted and his own file being tainted, is now gathering a group of idle thugs.

"Brother Chao, that girl's taking the college entrance exam tomorrow. What can we do now? We can't just rush into the exam hall and beat her up, can we?" A blond thug handed Wan Chao a cigarette.

Wan Chao took the cigarette, but instead of lighting it, he squeezed it tightly in his hand and broke it into two pieces.

His face bore an almost morbid grotesque and gleeful expression.

"Enter the examination room? No."

He sneered, his eyes flashing with venom.

"I want to ensure she doesn't even have the chance to enter the exam hall!"

"That little bitch from the Lu family ruined my mother, ruined my father, ruined my whole family!"

"Tomorrow, I will utterly disgrace her in front of the entire city of Harbin!"

"I'll send her and her damned brother to hell together!"

……

The next morning.

The sun is shining brightly.

The entire Lu family came out to see Lu Nianci off to the exam.

Lu Xingzhou drove himself in a military jeep, smoothly making his way to the examination site.

Zhou Yayun and Lu Zhenguo sat in the back seat, even more nervous than the examinee himself.

Lu Nianci sat in the passenger seat, her eyes closed, adjusting her breathing and mindset according to the method her brother had taught her.

Everything seemed so peaceful and full of hope.

However, just as the jeep turned into a narrow alley leading to the examination center...

An accident occurred.

The alleyway was suddenly blocked by several dilapidated tricycles!

Immediately afterwards, a dozen or so young men wielding sticks and steel pipes poured out from both sides of the alley!

Leading the group was none other than Wan Chao, whose face was filled with resentment and malice!

"squeak--!"

Lu Xingzhou slammed on the brakes and brought the car to a steady stop.

He looked at the group of thugs with ill intentions in front of him, and his dark eyes instantly turned cold.

"Lu Nianci! You little monster! Today, let's see how you go about your exam!"

Wan Chao arrogantly pointed at the jeep with a steel pipe, a triumphant laugh on his face.

"And you! Lu Xingzhou! You think you're so tough? Today, I'll see whether you alone are stronger, or the sticks of my twenty-odd brothers are stronger!"

Inside the car, Zhou Yayun and Lu Zhenguo were both terrified and turned pale.

They never expected that the Wan family's revenge would come so quickly and so fiercely!

"Niannian, don't be afraid!"

Lu Xingzhou turned around and said something to Lu Nianci.

His voice remained calm, but beneath that calm lay a volcanic rage about to erupt!

He slowly pushed open the car door.

"Stay in the car, don't come out."

"Don't look."

After saying his last words to Lu Nianci, he closed the car door and walked alone towards the pack of menacing wolves.

The morning sunlight stretched his tall figure long.

As he walked, he unbuttoned his military uniform jacket, revealing his well-defined muscles.

He flexed his wrist, producing a series of sharp, teeth-grinding cracking sounds.

The sound echoed in the quiet alley, like the scythe of death, a proclamation before the harvest.
