From humble beginnings to the pinnacle of life

He stared intently at me, his eyes sinister, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Kid, you really think you're nothing? Don't think I can't do anything to you! If I really want to target you, you won't have a single chance to fight back in Jiangcheng!"

I remained fearless, meeting his icy gaze directly, and slowly said, "In the end, it's because you've lost control of me, so you're resorting to these underhanded money-spending tactics, right?"

He narrowed his eyes, his gaze becoming even colder and more stern.

He stared at me intently, his eyes filled with contempt.

"I really don't understand, what are you after?"

"You and Su Qing are not even in the same league. Don't you know your own limitations? Are you really delusional enough to think you can have a future with her?"

"I have never had such a thought. I am well aware of my situation." I said calmly, without the slightest panic.

"That's more like it. I'll give you a million. It's like finding a treasure for you. You'll lose nothing. Why not?"

I frowned slightly and retorted coldly, "Free money? Is there such a good thing in the world?"

I paused for a moment, then said, "If I take this million from you, you can sue me for extortion. I'll be left speechless, and who will I turn to for help?"

"If you don't trust me, we can sign an agreement."

I sneered and said, "Forget it! Don't even mention an agreement, I don't trust you even if it's a notarized contract."

Fang Heng's face turned completely ashen, his eyes filled with a fierce look as if he were about to punish me on the spot, radiating malice.

He spoke slowly and deliberately, his voice low and threatening: "You insist on going against me, is that it?"

I kept looking him in the eye and said, slowly and deliberately, "I didn't mean to go against you. I was just doing what I had to do, nothing more."

"Of course, if you insist on messing with me, then I'll play along to the very end."

Upon hearing my words, Fang Heng burst into laughter.

He looked down at me with a sidelong glance, as if I were a joke about someone who overestimated themselves.

"Where do you get the audacity to say such harsh things to me?"

"I'm just an ordinary person, a lowly errand runner trying to make a living. I've been very polite to you, giving you plenty of face. And you still dare to talk to me about playing along to the end?"

"Believe it or not, I can cut off your livelihood with a flick of my finger and leave you starving in Jiangcheng!"

I found his words laughable. Enduring the dull pain in my wound, I coldly replied, "The same old tricks again? This time, are you going to report me to my company headquarters to cause trouble, or threaten and intimidate the bosses I deal with, or try to ostracize the people around me?"

Before he could speak, I clicked my tongue twice and continued, "That's all you know, these underhanded tricks. To be honest, you're not even as good as those young thugs last night; at least they dared to confront me head-on!"

"If you've got the guts, stab me right now! If not, get out of my room right now!"

These words were particularly harsh, and I knew they would anger him, but I didn't want to talk to him politely and humbly.

I also know that he will become even more unscrupulous in targeting me.

But I don't care. As I always say: those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose.

Fang Heng's face was so dark it looked like it could be wrung out of water; I could feel his anger.

Those eyes were fixed on me, brimming with anger, as if they were about to burst into flames.

But in the end, he didn't dare to actually lay a hand on me.

If he dares to stab me in the back, whether I live or die, he and his family's business will be finished.

What good is money and power?

If things really get out of hand, even if his family has some connections with higher-ups, I don't believe Su Qing wouldn't hold him accountable once she finds out.

That's right, my confidence comes from Su Qing.

If it were when I first met Su Qing, I definitely wouldn't have dared to take the gamble.

But I'm not gambling now, based on my current understanding of Su Qing.

If Fang Heng does anything to me, he will definitely not let me off the hook.

It's not that I'm that important to Su Qing, but Su Qing dislikes him. If he really does something to me, Su Qing will naturally hold a grudge.

Fang Heng had nothing to say and could only stare at me with a gloomy expression.

After a long silence, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "Fine, very well. It seems you really are going to refuse a polite offer and have to suffer the consequences."

After uttering this threatening remark, Fang Heng could no longer stay and stormed out, slamming the door behind him.

As the door slammed shut, my tense nerves instantly relaxed, and I leaned softly against the headboard.

To be honest, it's impossible for me not to be afraid of a top-tier rich second-generation like Fang Heng who has access to resources.

I'm just an ordinary nobody. Going head-on with someone of his level is like throwing an egg against a rock.

But I absolutely cannot back down.

If I back down even once today, he will take advantage of my weakness and bully me without restraint.

I knew in my heart that the days to come would be anything but easy, and that he would definitely try every means to get revenge on me.

But I still stand by my words: those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose!

If he wants to play, I'll gladly accompany him to the very end!

Of course, I can no longer just passively take the beating.

The little tricks I took against his company last time seemed to have an impact, but with his large and powerful family, that little loss was just a drop in the ocean for him.

The only way to truly control him is through his family.

The only ones who could truly control the lawless Fang Heng were probably his parents.

I took a deep breath, suppressed the turmoil in my heart, and slowly calmed my emotions.

The most urgent task is to find out the details of the Fang family and understand their specific situation. I know almost nothing about their background right now.

Time passed slowly, the sky gradually darkened, and night quietly descended.

Just as I was pondering a solution, the ward door was gently pushed open, and my cousin and Luo Peng walked in one after the other.

My cousin's face was full of gloom and worry. He quickly walked to the bedside and asked with concern:

"Yoko, how are you feeling? Is your injury any better? Does it still hurt?"

I forced a smile and nodded gently: "It's okay, bro, I'm much better. Don't worry, it's just superficial injuries."

My cousin sighed heavily, his tone tinged with reproach: "Luckily, no vital organs were damaged. She's a lucky escape. You were too reckless. Knowing that urban villages are full of all sorts of people at night, why did you take Su Qing to such a secluded alley in the middle of the night?"

I feel guilty; it was indeed my oversight.

I've been driving errands in that area for years, and I'm used to coming and going freely. I've never encountered such a serious incident before.

A moment of carelessness led to a major disaster.

I sincerely nodded and admitted my mistake: "I know I was wrong. I was careless this time, and the price I paid was too high. I will not make this mistake again in the future."

My cousin sighed again, softening his tone as he said, "It's good that you're alright. Being safe and sound is the most important thing. Just focus on recovering at the hospital. I'll keep an eye on the courier station; you don't need to worry about it."

"Thank you for your hard work, brother. I'm sorry to trouble you so much these next few days." I said sincerely.

Luo Peng, standing nearby, immediately chimed in, indignantly saying, "Brother Lin, what do you mean by trouble! Just focus on recovering! Those bastards are truly lawless. Don't let me run into them again, or even if I can't kill them, I'll skin them alive!"
