Thinking of this, Xu He reached out to support the unconscious Zhou Yuni, grabbed the two small bags she had brought, and took her to the room she temporarily rented.
After bringing her back, Xu He feared that once Zhou Yuni woke up, she wouldn't be able to handle her alone, given the trouble Zhou Yuni had caused her before. So, Xu He decided to tie Zhou Yuni tightly to a chair in the house, ensuring she couldn't move at all, only feeling at ease once certain that even if Zhou Yuni had incredible skills, she wouldn't be able to escape.
However, after returning to the house, Xu He thoroughly searched Zhou Yuni's belongings, hoping to find that money, but in the end, she found nothing and had to give up. She thought she'd wait for Zhou Yuni to wake up and then slowly interrogate her; after all, with her tied up, there was plenty of ti.
Zhou Yuni, having been knocked out ruthlessly by Xu He, remained unconscious until the following morning, still showing no signs of waking up. Xu He, growing impatient, simply poured a basin of cold water over her, forcibly waking her.
Zhou Yuni woke up groggily, looked around, and couldn't understand where she was. Only after seeing Xu He's ferocious face did she get startled. Instinctively, she wanted to stand up, but Xu He had tied her so tightly to the chair that she couldn't move.
Soon, mories of last night's situation began to surface in Zhou Yuni's mind. She looked up at Xu He and glared, asking, "Was it you who knocked out last night?"
"Who else did you think it would be?" Xu He replied, then gave a mocking smile and looked at Zhou Yuni, saying, "But then again, for soone like you, Zhou Yuni, who knows how many enemies you've made in your life. It's hard to figure out when soone might seek revenge on you."
Zhou Yuni hadn't fully grasped the situation yet; she didn't realize she was now at a disadvantage, subject to Xu He's whims. Hearing Xu He speak this way, she angrily spat at her and cursed, "Bah, stop talking nonsense. My luck turned bad after eting soone as lowly as you."
While Zhou Yuni was unclear about the situation, Xu He was very clear. Once Zhou Yuni finished speaking, Xu He coldly laughed and slapped her across the face, looking down at her, "Who are you calling lowly?"
Zhou Yuni was stunned by the blow, taking a long ti to react. Her body twisted violently, trying to stand up and fight Xu He desperately. She gritted her teeth and cursed, "You hit ? How dare you hit ?"
But being bound tightly, there was no way she could stand up.
Before she could get up, Xu He delivered several more slaps, "Smack."
Xu He still felt unsatisfied even after hitting her like that. Rembering how Zhou Yuni treated her when she left, Xu He didn't discriminate, venting her anger by hitting and scratching Zhou Yuni's head and face with all her might. It seed like she was trying to repay every bit of the grievances from the past.
Only when she got tired did Xu He finally stop and then pointed at Zhou Yuni, saying, "Zhou Yuni, who do you think you are? Why wouldn't I dare hit you? Before, I might have hesitated because you were my mother-in-law, but why would I fear you now?"
Pausing for a breath, Xu He pointed at Zhou Yuni again, "Let tell you, when I left in such despair back then, you should have prayed never to fall into my hands again. Otherwise, I won't spare you. If you behave, I might let you live, but if you provoke , killing you is a small matter."
Already dazed by Xu He's relentless attack, Zhou Yuni, with her hands and feet bound, started to panic, realizing she's truly trapped in Xu He's hands and likely won't have a good end.
Hearing Xu He say she'd kill her, Zhou Yuni turned pale with fright. After a long while, she looked at Xu He and stamred, "You... you... dare?"
Seeing Zhou Yuni so frightened, Xu He felt quite satisfied. She always believed that to truly tornt soone, both their body and mind must be tortured together for it to be effective.
With a sinister smile, Xu He raised an eyebrow at Zhou Yuni, "You know what my status is now. Do you think I dare or not? If you don't believe it, you can try it."
Zhou Yuni was completely terrified by Xu He's deanor, not daring to speak again for fear of angering Xu He, who might really kill her.
After a long wait, sensing Xu He seed less terrifying than before, Zhou Yuni cautiously probed, "If you kidnapped just for revenge, I've been beaten by you already. That's enough, let go."
"Hmph, it's not that simple." Xu He sneered. She had no intention of letting Zhou Yuni off easily, but after thinking it over, she realized there was sothing else that needed handling first. Xu He deliberately coaxed, "However, if you really want to leave, that's possible. Hand over all the money you've got on you."
"Money?" Zhou Yuni's expression shifted upon hearing the word. She knew Xu He was referring to certain money, which she intended for her retirent. No way was she planning on handing it over, even if it ant facing death. So she imdiately said, "I have no money—only the tens of dollars in my pocket. You can take that if you want."
Xu He smiled faintly at Zhou Yuni, "Do you think I'm stupid? Let's not even talk about how much you might have taken from Fang Pingying and them recently. Just the sum you took from before wasn't small. Hand over that money first."
"I..." Zhou Yuni's eyes darted around as she glanced at her bag, noting signs of rummaging. Knowing Xu He likely searched everything, Zhou Yuni decided to say, "I gave that money to Zhiming, it's with him."
Xu He knew Zhou Yuni's nature. It was obvious her words didn't align with the facts. Zhou Yuni said she only had tens of dollars, but aside from that, Xu He found US$ 200 hidden in Zhou Yuni's bra. Zhou Yuni probably didn't know Xu He discovered the US$ 200 and even tried to hide it. If Xu He didn't think she was lying, how could she?
But Xu He didn't directly expose her lies. Instead, she coldly laughed and asked, "Are you saying I should also capture Luo Zhiming and treat him like you?"
"No, no, no," Zhou Yuni, still cherishing Luo Zhiming, imdiately shook her head.
