Upon learning that Yuan Xu was acquainted with her brother, Pan Minjun felt more at ease.
“Are you a friend of my brother?” Pan Minjun asked curiously.
“Sort of,” Yuan Xu replied.
“What kind of work do my brother and the others do? Are they tired?” She was very curious about her brother’s affairs and kept asking Yuan Xu, who, in turn, almost forgot about the incident with Liu Bao due to her inquiries.
Helplessly, Yuan Xu looked at Pan Minjun. Shouldn’t she be thinking about how to deal with this person? Her carefree demeanor made him wonder who she took after.
“Shouldn’t you be thinking about how to deal with this person and the trouble that’s coming?” Yuan Xu suggested.
Frowning at Liu Bao, Pan Minjun said, “I want him to go to jail, but…”
If this matter got out, her reputation would be ruined. What would she do in the future?
If she did nothing, she would feel aggrieved, but she was also unwilling to endure it. It was clearly Liu Bao’s fault, and she had to endure and yield?
“Don’t worry, if you need, I can help you,” Yuan Xu assured her, deeply understanding that she was also going through a difficult time.
She was alone at home, enduring such mistreatment without anyone to confide in, and still had to find a way to handle the situation. She was truly remarkable.
Most people would have been scared and only cried in such a situation.
“Do you know why he came?” Yuan Xu asked.
“I do. It’s probably Liu’s idea. Since she can’t be with my brother and doesn’t want to let go of our family’s belongings, she came up with this plan. They thought that if I had a relationship with Liu Bao, I would obediently marry him. But they have underestimated me,” Pan Minjun explained. If such a thing really happened today, she would rather die than marry Liu Bao, a useless person.
Frowning, Yuan Xu realized that Liu was still causing trouble. They had just driven him away in the morning, and now he was back to cause more problems.
Seeing her determined look, Yuan Xu knew that if he hadn’t saved her today, Pan Minjun’s fate would have been death.
Simple interactions had shown Yuan Xu that Pan Minjun was not someone who could be easily manipulated.
Pan Minjun heard the noisy commotion outside and turned to look. “They’re here.”
Yuan Xu also turned to listen and recognized one of the voices as belonging to Liu.
She was so eager to bring people over so quickly.
Pan Minjun frowned, her expression grim. Liu was indeed persistent.
“I really saw someone go in just now. If you don’t believe me, go and see for yourself,” she said.
The door was quickly pushed open, and the expression on Liu’s face froze as she saw Liu Bao, tied up and thrown on the ground, and then looked at Pan Minjun, unharmed, sitting there.
How was she unharmed? Pan Minjun had actually survived this ordeal?
Looking at Yuan Xu beside her, Liu’s eyes filled with anger. It was this man who had ruined her plans.
“What’s going on?” the village chief of Pan’s village asked, frowning.
“This man ran to my house to steal money, and when my brother’s friend came to bring us something, we caught him,” Pan Minjun explained, speaking first.
Liu angrily retorted, “You’re making it up.”
“Who’s making it up? Liu, I know you hold a grudge against our family, but you can’t treat me like this,” Pan Minjun cried, covering her face. Seeing her like this, Yuan Xu’s mouth twitched. She was quite the actress.
If he didn’t know the situation, he might have believed that something had really happened.
Liu trembled with anger. How could this have happened? She had failed.
Liu looked at Liu Bao and demanded, “How are you? What happened? Tell me.”
Liu Bao, who had just recovered from being kicked several times by Pan Minjun, was furious. If he hadn’t been restrained, he would have slapped her.
“You get out of here. What kind of rotten ideas have you come up with?” he snapped.
“What are you talking about, little brother?” Liu’s expression stiffened. She was more trouble than she was worth.
Leaning in close to Liu Bao, Liu gritted her teeth and said, “If you want to get the money from the Pan family, and have endless wealth in the future, you better talk to me nicely.”
Liu Bao frowned and glanced at Liu. Why did his sister seem so strange today?
“Pan Minjun is lying. Things didn’t happen that way.”
“How did they happen then? Why were you tied up and thrown here again?”
Liu Bao became even angrier upon hearing this, and he glared at Pan Minjun, saying viciously, “You despicable woman, if that jerk hadn’t barged in, you would have been mine by now. You better release me quickly. It seems the two slaps I gave you earlier didn’t make you realize the reality.”
Pan Minjun felt a pang of panic as she looked at the person eyeing her strangely, but upon seeing Yuan Xu beside her, she quickly regained her composure.
“You said you hit me? I don’t see any marks on my face,” she retorted.
“Of course, it’s on your face. Anyone with eyes can see what a mess you look right now,” Liu Bao angrily retorted.
“You better release your man. After I marry you, I’ll show you who’s in charge.”
“Liu Bao, what’s your intention in coming here to slander my name after failing to steal? Village chief, do I look like I’ve been beaten?” Pan Minjun pointed to her face.
While chatting with Yuan Xu, she had sensed that her face wasn’t as painful and didn’t feel swollen.
Yuan Xu smiled, impressed by her quick thinking.
The village chief observed for a moment but couldn’t discern anything. He shook his head and said, “No, you don’t.”
“This is impossible,” Liu Bao looked at Pan Minjun, his eyes filled with disbelief when he saw her unscathed face.
“How… how is this possible?”
Pan Minjun’s face was completely unharmed? How was that possible?
Just a short while ago, it was swollen and marked with handprints. How could it have healed so quickly?
Even if that man had given her ointment, it wouldn’t have healed so fast.
“Liu Bao, I will sue you for breaking and entering,” Pan Minjun said coldly, looking at Liu Bao.
Liu was completely dumbfounded, staring at Pan Minjun and laughing nervously. “You’re all in this together to report to the authorities.”
“Who said we’re all in this together? Liu, I’m telling you, you can’t escape from this,” Pan Minjun knew that Liu was always up to no good.
She couldn’t let this slide.
This matter was far from over.
“Then let’s go to the authorities.” As long as they weren’t from their village, going to the authorities wouldn’t pose a big threat to them. The village chief immediately agreed.
Liu finally realized the gravity of the situation. Once Pan Minjun reported to the authorities, she wouldn’t be able to escape either.
