Rotting Land: Survive

Chapter 716 - 703: A Woman’s Heart Is as Deep as the Ocean (Part 1)

"Huiru, what do you mean by that? Ever since you disappeared, both Yunpeng and I have been very worried about your safety!" Liu Fugui’s face was full of innocence, appearing extremely calm.

"Heh, Liu Fugui, you truly are a cunning old fox, pretending to be oblivious while being fully aware, huh? Heaven’s watching, your murder plan didn’t succeed, and now you have to pay for your actions!"

After leaving the villa, Li Huiru wandered aimlessly on the streets until she bumped into Spring Xiu. He was undoubtedly attracted to her appearance at first sight, and at this moment, Li Huiru, through her painful experiences, understood that in this apocalypse, to live well, she had to attach herself to a capable man, regardless of his intentions.

So, quite naturally, she cooperated fully to satisfy him without waiting for him to act.

After that, Li Huiru naturally became Spring Xiu’s woman.

As time went by, Li Huiru was pleasantly surprised to discover that the man she recently attached to turned out to be the leader of a gang, reigniting the hope in her once despairing heart. She also realized for the first time that she had gained the strength to contend with that bastard Liu Fugui, planting the seeds of revenge.

"Dad, is what Huiru said true? Was it you who wanted Huiru dead?" Liu Yunpeng, unable to accept it, avoided Liu Fugui’s shoulder, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Yunpeng, do you not trust your father as well? Would your father do such a thing?" Despite Liu Fugui’s calm demeanor, his mind was in turmoil. Li Huiru’s appearance was truly a headache; his greatest fear had always been the exposure of the matter he orchestrated of eliminating the latter.

It seems that paper can’t hold fire in the end. Besides blaming Huang Yong for his incompetence, he had no better excuse to deflect.

"Hmph, whether you admit it or not is no longer important!" Li Huiru suddenly laughed and seductively walked toward Spring Xiu, sweetly calling out, "Darling!"

Spring Xiu felt a tingle inside and pulled Li Huiru into his arms, not caring about the onlookers around. He pinched her with one hand, prompting Li Huiru to coquettishly remind him, "Darling, don’t forget about him, what you promised me!"

"Huiru, you..." Seeing Li Huiru’s flirtation with another, Liu Yunpeng felt as if he were being toyed with, and he was furious: "How could you behave like this?"

Li Huiru disdainfully responded without even looking at him directly, "What did I do? Who the hell are you, a useless and idiotic kid, to talk to adults?" Having said that, she provocatively rubbed herself against Spring Xiu while glancing at Liu Yunpeng, as if saying, "See? This is the man I’m fascinated by, and you were just a toy boy to me in the past."

Liu Yunpeng, who had always been surrounded by admiration from an early age, never encountered a woman he couldn’t conquer. At this moment, his self-esteem was completely shattered. He didn’t even have the energy for anger, his eyes were blank, and his head felt like a slurry of muddled thoughts.

Liu Fugui felt a deep itch of hatred; he underestimated Li Huiru’s ability. In his perception, Li Huiru was just a vain woman without much brain. But now...

"Alright, Huiru, I have some discussions to finish with them. Once it’s over, we can have a good time!" Reluctantly, Spring Xiu gave Li Huiru a firm squeeze on her hip.

Fortunately, he understood that this was not the time for such antics; the big picture was important. After everything was settled, it wouldn’t be too late to enjoy.

Li Huiru leaned in to plant a parting kiss on Spring Xiu’s lips, her eyes flashing with allure, "Darling, don’t forget what you promised me!"

A sense of impending doom loomed in Liu Fugui’s mind. The promise Li Huiru extracted from Spring Xiu could only be one thing: his life.

"Mr. Liu, I don’t care about your past grievances with Li Huiru. However, she is now my woman, and I have made certain promises to her that I cannot break. I think you are wise and should know what those matters are. As a man, failing a woman is quite disgraceful. But having the honor of meeting you today, Mr. Liu, I’m truly reluctant to do those things, so I still hope you will properly consider my previous proposal to hand over the Factory. This way, I can give everyone an explanation, otherwise, don’t blame me, Spring Xiu, for being ruthless. Moreover, let me remind you, Mr. Liu, that wealth is just material, but you only have one son. See, your son is barely over 20 and has a long life ahead of him; it would indeed be a shame if he couldn’t enjoy it. You can rest assured that after relinquishing the Factory, if you’re willing, you can still live there; I guarantee that your treatment will not fall below your past standards. What do you think?"

Liu Fugui smirked coldly inside, "What do you take me for? A naive kid? Making promises about benefits, once I hand over the Factory, what else awaits me but death?"

However, the respondent said one truth: you only have one son. For his son’s sake, Liu Fugui had no choice but to weigh his options carefully. Besides, under the current circumstances, the opposition’s intentions were already clear—they wanted Liu Fugui to hand over the Factory; on this point, even without Li Huiru’s participation, this group would have soon set their sights on the Factory.

As the saying goes, "A lamb in a tiger’s mouth," although Liu Fugui was no lamb, at this moment, aside from agreeing, he seemed to have no better way to extricate himself.

Liu Fugui now only hoped that the opposing force’s manpower and weaponry would be weaker than he anticipated. Only then, once at the Factory, would he still have a chance to fight back; otherwise...

Liu Fugui disliked thinking about dispiriting matters that hadn’t happened yet. After weighing the pros and cons, he decisively nodded, "Alright, Mr. Chun, I agree to your terms. But I also need you to make promises."

Spring Xiu, very pleased with Liu Fugui’s straightforwardness, felt a sense of pride in persuading such a big figure to bow down to him. He immediately thumped his chest, "Mr. Liu, just say what’s needed; as long as I, Spring Xiu, can do it, I’ll certainly agree."

Liu Fugui raised his hand, showing three fingers, indicating three requests: "First, after I hand over the Factory as per your request, I need you to find me a place to stay outside the Factory and provide my son and me with daily necessities. Second, I hope you treat my subordinates in the Factory well and ensure their safety. Third, I hope you fulfill what you promised!"

Spring Xiu lowered his head, picking at the dirt under his nails—an extremely rude behavior, "Is that all?"

"That’s all!"

"Heh, it’s surprising, Mr. Liu, that you still care so much about your subordinates. I’m truly impressed, no wonder you’ve built such a large enterprise, Liu Fugui."

"Hmm." Liu Fugui let out a cynical chuckle; what he’d said was mere politeness. He couldn’t care less about his subordinates’ lives at the moment. His words were just to avoid suspicion, making them believe he was sincerely relinquishing the Factory.

This way, he could smoothly return to the Factory with this group. Only then would he have a chance for a counterattack. (To be continued.
