Chapter 256 Someone Wants to Kill Me, So I'll Kill Back

Yu Guosheng sighed softly and nodded. He felt a lingering fear when he thought about the news he received afterward. It was their oversight.

Yu Guosheng stopped hiding it and openly admitted their plan: "He will take you away and send you to Hong Kong as soon as you recover. Arrangements have already been made in Hong Kong."

Bai Nuo smiled and nodded, then continued, "And I know that there have always been people protecting me in that family compound. No matter how many times I was taken out by the Ma family kids and left in the alley, someone would immediately appear and lead me back safely. The next day, the person who left me would definitely show up with a bruised and swollen face."

I was driven to the storage room by the Ma family. That room should have been very damp, but my bedding was always dry. I guess that neighbor must have a dozen or so sets of identical bedding.

When I had no food at the Ma family's house, kind neighbors would always bring me food, and Mrs. Ma would always be sleeping in her room.

If the Ma family's kid bullies me, that kid will definitely encounter a series of unlucky things the next day when he goes out. In severe cases, he might break his arm or leg.

If the Ma family goes out to cook for me behind my back, leaving me at home to go hungry, then either they'll find flies or rats in their food, or all sorts of accidents will happen on their way back. In short, they'll definitely vomit up what they ate.

During those two years, they spent a lot of money and suffered a lot.

They were all fat and bloated, not because they ate too much, but because every time they secretly had special meals, they would smuggle drugs into their food. They looked fat, but their bodies were actually very weak. Over time, this would lead to anything from mild malnutrition to serious, incurable diseases.

Bai Nuo looked at Yu Guosheng's increasingly guilty expression with amusement, chuckled, and continued, "I remember that the Wei family has a cousin who is very talented in medicine and is best at making some strange poisons."

"Cough, he did make the medicine, but we came up with those unethical methods." Yu Guosheng would never allow his upright image to crumble in his beloved granddaughter's eyes.

Who is that?

Bai Nuo was somewhat surprised; she had thought these underhanded tricks were all the ideas of her great-uncle.

After all, her maternal grandfather had secretly complained to her that her maternal aunt's grandfather was the most sarcastic in their family.

"It's all because of you, you heartless bastard..."

"Um?"

Bai Nuo tilted her head and looked curiously at the old man who was only halfway through speaking, but she had already caught the key point with her sharp ears.

Yu Guosheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly sighed softly, saying with a face full of self-reproach, "Even if the Ma family is punished, the harm you suffered is real. In the end, it is still our dereliction of duty as elders. We did not protect you well."

Look at what we've done to you these past two years! You've become malnourished, a perfectly healthy child. We should have sent you to Hong Kong directly. If you had gone there, you would have been the rightful heiress of the Wei family, instead of having to suffer here with us."

That was such an awkward way of changing the subject; it made her feel embarrassed to be the smart one.

“Grandpa, if I go to Hong Kong, it will be even harder for me to come back. You know I don’t want to leave home, and I don’t want to leave you. Shanghai was the bottom line I could accept back then.”

Moreover, it took her grandparents a full two weeks of coaxing before she finally agreed. Even though she wasn't quite right in the head back then, she was actually capable of jumping off a train.

"Alright, alright, it's all in the past. Let's not talk about that anymore. Let's talk about your trip to the city!" Yu Guosheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the girl wasn't continuing to discuss his slip of the tongue with "shameless grandpa." He quickly changed the subject again.

Bai Nuo curled her lips. If she didn't want to say, then so be it. She would find out sooner or later anyway.

"Grandpa, Cousin An and I have made up our minds. We're going to the city, we're going to take on the work, and we're going to claim the credit. Being passively beaten is not our style; taking the initiative is our principle."

Bai Nuo looked at Yu Guosheng quietly, composed herself, and spoke solemnly and firmly.

“Grandpa, if others treat me with courtesy, I will return the courtesy and sincerity. But if others attack or kill me, I will retaliate with my own death and eliminate them completely. This is what you and Grandma taught me.”
