  Qiao Wenjuan rolled on the ground twice before crying out in pain, “Qiao Mu, you disrespectful cur! You dare to treat me like this?”


  Qiao Mu did not allow for any objections and punched her in the stomach twice in succession. Qiao Wenjuan felt her innards boiling in pain and spat out a mouthful of blood.

  Her face turned more twisted, and she shakily pointed at Qiao Mu as she shrilly screamed, “You-you little cu—”


  Bang! Qiao Mu swung another punch at Qiao Wenjuan’s chin.

  Qiao Wenjuan could hear her chin cracking, and she was sent flying back by an enormous force, heavily landing on the ground and tumbling. She could hardly get up as she teetered on the brink of death.

  “I am risking my life outside with the zombies, but you are holding my sister hostage and stabbing me in the back!” She wagered no team had the guts to take on such trash!

  Qiao Mu’s voice was extremely cold, and actual ice daggers nearly shot out of her eyes.

  Qiao Wenjuan’s actions reminded her of her so-called friends in her previous life.

  When they betrayed their teammates without any hesitation, they did not feel any guilt because their hearts had already been chewed raw by greed and envy. They lost whatever conscience they had long ago.

  “Ao’ye,” Qiao Mu coldly called as she stiffly stood there with her fists clenched by her sides.

  A black figure appeared next to her like a phantom. “Little Master, your order, please.”


  “Throw this woman farther away. Don’t let me see her ever again!”


  “Yes!” Ao’ye walked forward and grabbed Qiao Wenjuan by the back of her collar and picked her up with ease.

  Qiao Wenjuan’s eyes turned wide with shock. Her figure was shuddering as she furiously roared, “You dare! You dare to treat me like this! You dare! Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Mother! Eldest Brother, save me!!! Save me! Qiao Mu wants to kill me! Mother! Mother!!!”


  It was not that Elderly Lady Qiao did not hear her daughter’s panicked screams, but she could not move at all due to her broken leg.

  She laid flat in the carriage, and her eyes were somewhat dazed as she looked up, unable to regain her senses from the shock even now.

  Qiao Wenjuan’s legs kept kicking the ground as she screamed. Her eyes were glaring at Qiao Mu, as though she wanted to bore holes into her.

  Ao’ye decisively hit the back of her neck.

  Qiao Wenjuan’s head hung limply, and she finally ceased her ear-piercing screams.

  Qiao Mu did not look away until Ao’ye picked Qiao Wenjuan up and shot into the distance with a few jumps. When she turned around, she happened to clash into her father’s turmoiled expression.

  “I can tolerate naivety and stupidity, even a cold treatment. They are nothing.” Because she did care about them, so she could ignore all of it.

  Qiao Mu was speaking with a calm expression, but Qiao Zhongbang felt like his daughter was far away in time and looking at somewhere else.

  “My bottom line is that I won’t get stabbed in the back by my own people while we are teammates.”


  “It’s that simple.” When Qiao Mu finished speaking, she glanced at the opened carriage.

  Second Uncle hurriedly stated, “Xiangyang Town is just up ahead. It won’t be a problem to find some materials to build a simple cover for the carriage.”


  “Then let’s go.”


  Qiao Zhongbang also jumped onto the carriage and sat next to Qiao Zhongxing without a word.

  When Qiao Zhongxing clapped him on his shoulders, Qiao Zhongbang explained with a forced smile, “Second Brother, this time, I understand that Little Sister brought it on herself.”


  In his mind, he was well aware that Qiao Wenjuan’s life would have been lost on the spot if his daughter had not kept him in mind.
