He Wen sensed Liu Ming''an''s intentions, wrestled free from him, and pointed usatorily. "You''re looking down on me, aren''t you? Acting all superior, right? Pretending to be so impressive just because you know a few words, huh? Daring to kick me out!"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Liu Ming''an sighed helplessly, contemting how to handle the situation at hand.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
However, before he could formte a n, an emotional He Wen suddenly spun around, seemingly intending to enter the house.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"He Wen, what are you doing?" Liu Ming''an, towering a head taller than He Wen, ced a firm hand on his shoulder, demanding an answer.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
He Wen quickly shook off Liu Ming''an''s hand and cast him a malicious grin. "What am I doing? I''m going to see that ugly wench you bought. Let''s see how hideous she really is so I can tell the guys back home."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z css-x61atf"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">4

<span ss="content">Dude''s about to get a reality check. Never judge a book by its cover... or a wife by vige gossip!
Inside the house, Jiang Ning squinted at He Wen, her eyes showing open hostility.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Liu Ming''an''s hands pressed against He Wen''s chest, preventing him from advancing. Indeed, this drunken brawler was tantly disregarding all manners, hell-bent on entering the house. Finding Liu Ming''an in his way, He Wen grabbed his cor and violently shoved him back.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Unprepared for this sudden burst of force, Liu Ming''an lost his footing. He fell uncontrobly backward, his head heavily smacking against a stone by the doorstep. Intense pain surged through him, his vision ckening. He felt as if his head would explode. Then he lost consciousness, slipping into a world of endless darkness.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"Hey!" The scene startled He Wen. He hurriedly gave the copsed Liu Ming''an a nudge with his foot and began to yell. "Hey! Hey, hey! Liu Ming''an, wake up. Don''t y dead on me, you hear? Get up!"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Liu Ming''an remained motionless on the ground, causing He Wen to start feeling guilty. He had only intended to shove him aside, not kill him!<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
He Wen gave Liu Ming''an a few more kicks. The man stayed motionless with his eyes shut, looking entirely dead. This effectively woke He Wen up from his drunken stupor. Shaking, he crouched down and held his finger under Liu Ming''an''s nose to check for breathing. Relieved to find Liu Ming''an alive, he exhaled deeply.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"You scared the hell out of me!" He Wen patted his chest, spat contemptuously at the unconscious Liu Ming''an, then staggered away.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
The door creaked open from inside. Jiang Ning, her face pale with anger, red fiercely at He Wen’s retreating figure. It wasn''t until he disappeared from sight that she averted her gaze, going over to help Liu Ming''an.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Jiang Ning had watched everything from inside the house; she knew Liu Ming''an''s head had hit a stone. So she reached out to feel the back of his head.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Thankfully, there wasn’t any blood, just a swelling bump.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
She continued to check <span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
The ears, mouth, nose – no bleeding. His breathing was reasonably steady. He should wake up in a few hours.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Jiang Ning sighed with relief. One arm slipping under Liu Ming''an''s knees and the other around his shoulders, she lifted him on her side with effort. This body was weakerpared to her assassin days, and her arm felt slightly sore carrying a grown man. Fortunately, it was just a few steps, so she managed to safely tuck Liu Ming''an into bed.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z css-x61atf"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">4

<span ss="content">Jiang Ning''s workout routine: 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and carry one unconscious man every day.
Jiang Ning arranged the quilt over a seemingly unconscious Liu Ming''an, whispering softly, "Don''t worry, I''ll help you im your justice." <span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
After leaving Liu Ming''an''s house, He Wen walked through uneven paths towards his own residence. There lied a copse and a pond between He''s and Liu''s houses, and at the time of noon, vigers were usually seen resting at home, leading to a deserted path. <span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
He Wen aimlessly chewed on foxtail grass, finding his journey quite mundane. He kicked at a tree branch thaty at his feet when he noticed a figure by the pond washing something. On closer inspection, it was He Zhao''s mute wife, washing sweet potatoes.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Thud! A stone,unched from afar, plummeted into the water. The ssh it created soaked the nearby woman''s hair and clothing.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
He Wen erupted intoughter, clearly amused, "Deaf-mute, isn''t it fun? Hahaha..."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
The woman turned around, her small melon-shaped face apanied by a pair of scared, watery eyes looking at He Wen. The woman, overwhelmed with anxiety, intended to leave the pond with her unwashed sweet potatoes.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
"nning to depart? Heading back home to your man?" Catching sight of her attempting to leave, He Wen briskly approached to block her way, "No wait, isn''t your man out carrying rice in the town?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Her face turned paler, her body quaked slightly. Keeping her head down, she tried to move away.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
He Wen caught her arm, pulled her forcefully towards him and growled threateningly, "You deaf-mute, dare to ignore me? Last time I had a few words with you, your cursed husband knocked out one of my teeth. That''s a grudge I''ve had ever since." <span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
The painful grip inflicted on her arm made her struggle as her eyes welled up with tears, making her look pitiful.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
The sight seemed to stir unfamiliar desires in He Wen.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
Always attracted to the mute woman''s beauty and seeming vulnerability, he once took the liberty of making unwee advances, which her husband, He Zhao, happened upon quite timely andshed out at him. His warning for He Wen to stay away still lingered. <span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
This incident was an insult to He Wen and the memory of it made his blood boil every time. But He Zhao was a brute, tall and strong, hence He Wen knew better than to seek revenge directly. However, the grudge was remembered waiting for the right opportunity which presented itself quite fortuitously now. <span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
He Wen chuckledsciviously, grabbing the mute woman and throwing her on the ground, attempting to strip her clothes while he muttered rotten words of lust, "Deaf-mute, now that your man is gone, serve me and satisfy my needs..."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z css-x61atf"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">4

<span ss="content">I hope Jiang Ning''s about to unleash some epic assassin moves on this creep. Popcorn, anyone?
As Jiang Ning approached, the sight that greeted her was this appalling scene. <span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">0
He Wen was on top of a woman, spouting dirty words, while beneath him, the woman was crying helplessly, eyes filled with desperation and pleading.

Indifference is a fundamental quality of a killer, Jiang Ning looks on silently, unmoved. Her only focus is on He Wen, she doesn''t want to expose herself in order to avoid unnecessary troubles.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z css-x61atf"><span ss="bg css-i073lf"><span ss="num css-0">4
