Chapter 625: Chapter 612: No Martial Virtue

She had silently switched the lamp oil with water, which meant that Zhuang Qingning had noticed his abnormal behavior long before, hence she made preparations early on.

“When did you realize that something was wrong with me?” Ge Wu ground his teeth.

He had planned this for a long time, from the moment he entered the workshop, had been recognized for his good work, and even in normal days, he was loved by many people because of his sweet talk. Ge Wu felt that he had done everything perfectly, and there should not be any loopholes.

“You’ve played it very well, very efficient at work, very honest in your speech, very like a man working hard to earn money for marriage.” Zhuang Qingning laughed, “But it’s because you talk too well, it makes people feel suspicious.”

It was normal for ordinary working people to have clumsy speech, but if one spoke too carefully, it might make people suspicious.

Ge Wu’s face subtly changed, and he argued gritting his teeth, “So many people were working, why would you specifically talk to me?”

“When I passed by you, I smelled lamp oil on you.” Zhuang Qingning said, “And the smell was very strong, probably because you accidentally got it on your body while checking the lamp oil stored in the workshop.”

“There is cotton everywhere in this textile workshop, the yarn spun, the fabric woven, even the spinning wheel and loom are made of wood. These things are most afraid of fire. Lamp oil can burn, which naturally caught my attention.”

Zhuang Qingning raised her eyebrows, “Tell me, why do you want to destroy this textile workshop? Is it because you are dissatisfied with your wages, or someone is instructing you from behind?”

“Today you’ve seen through me girl, I admit I capsized in the ditch, I admit defeat.”

As for wanting to know more, that was wishful thinking.

Ge Wu sneered at Zhuang Qingning’s arrogance. In the middle of the night, she dared to rely on herself to catch him. He sneered, raised his foot, and walked outward.

Zhuang Qingning also let out a cold laugh, “You want to leave just like that? That’s too easy for you.”

With that, Zhuang Qingning reached out to stop him.

“I want to come, I want to go, I…”

Before the word “go” could be said, Ge Wu flew out like a sandbag, and only stopped when he hit a tung tree in the courtyard.

The pain in his chest came immediately, tearing at his lungs. Judging from this situation, his ribs should have been broken.

Ge Wu endured the severe pain and struggled to get up from the ground. He looked at Zhuang Qingning who was slowly retracting her leg back with disbelief, a gradual horror surfacing on his face.

That Zhuang Qingning, who usually looked like a lady and scholar, was actually a martial artist with immense strength, and also very ruthless.

Ge Wu felt that his fighting skills were nothing in front of Zhuang Qingning. A frontal confrontation with her was simply a dead end. Seeing that the door of the workshop was wide open, an idea suddenly came to him.

“What are you standing there for? Why don’t you deal with this bitch?” Ge Wu shouted at Zhuang Qingning, acting in a state of rage.

It seemed that he wasn’t the only one there, but he had an accomplice.

Hearing this, Zhuang Qingning looked up and looked around.

And Ge Wu took advantage of this moment when Zhuang Qingning was distracted, endured the pain, and run toward the door.
