Chapter 115 - Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Too Impulsive (2/2)

Angered by their filthy language, Su Wenyue’s face turned beet red. She realized today would not end well. Although she wasn’t exactly a paragon of chastity, the harsh lessons of her previous life ensured she wouldn’t let these men succeed. Otherwise, her end in this life would be worse than before. She’d rather die than live scorned and looked down upon again.

“Don’t come any closer, or I’ll kill myself right in front of you! Don’t think what you’re doing today is so secretive. If I can guess it so easily, so can others. If I die today, my husband won’t let you off, nor will the Su Family, and the government will decapitate you murderers,” Su Wenyue declared fiercely, pressing the hairpin against her neck, her face set with determination. The young men, previously dismissive, now showed worry and fear on their faces.

“You dare scare us, you wretched woman? Die, try to scare someone else. I don’t believe you have the guts; show me by dying!” said one of the young men, his face more ruthless than the others, clearly not giving much credit to women, and with disdain, he began to approach Su Wenyue.

Clutching to a sliver of hope, Su Wenyue had hoped to scare the men off with her act. But, driven to desperation, she gripped the hairpin harder, plunging it a few millimeters into her neck. Fresh blood flowed instantly. The ruthless young man was startled by Su Wenyue’s actions, never expecting her to actually dare!

They had embarked on this act not without fear of Han Yu or the Su Family, but with the intention of coercing Su Wenyue. Now that things weren’t going as planned, with Su Wenyue showing such fierce resolve, preferring death over submission, they would all be in serious trouble if she truly got hurt.

“Wait, please, don’t do this. We’re not coming any closer. Please don’t think so rashly. We were just joking with you; we wouldn’t actually harm you. Put down the thing in your hand, and let’s talk this out properly!”

“All of you back off, don’t come any closer!” Su Wenyue’s face was deathly pale, not from too much blood loss since the hairpin had just pierced her skin a tiny bit, but from the pain. Most women fear pain, and Su Wenyue was no exception. She hadn’t genuinely desired death; after all, she had been lucky enough to be reborn and hadn’t fully lived out her life yet. She wasn’t willing to die unless absolutely necessary.

Su Wenyue’s demeanor truly frightened the young men who, fearing more drastic actions from her, instinctively retreated. They no longer cared about anything else, all blaming Jiang Chunlan for landing them in such trouble. This was not a woman to be trifled with; they could see her own harshness toward herself.

“Boss, should we pull out? If Su Wenyue really dies, neither the Han Family nor the Su Family will let us off. Han Yu is a tough character, and poking the Su Family is asking for trouble. After what happened today, we better get out of here and hide,” suggested one of the men.

“This…” The leader hesitated, not yet decided, but the men, spotting someone in the distance, didn’t wait for others and took off running—if Han Yu caught them, it would be the end for them.

“Boss, Han Yu is here. Run!” One of the more conscientious young men gave the heads up, but likewise dashed off without a further thought.

Han Yu was returning from hunting in the mountains when he learned that Su Wenyue had not yet returned. Growing increasingly anxious with an inexplicable sense of alarm, he feared for his wife’s safety and went to meet her without even changing his clothes. What he arrived to find was a heart-wrenching scene.
