Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Chapter 423 No Interference

Yu Ru left her dormitory intending to buy a sandwich and milk from the convenience store. After buying her things, she hurried back, only to encounter two people blocking her way.

Li Shuangshuang gave Deng Huairou a look, and Deng Huairou immediately understood and walked to Yu Ru's side, intending to grab her. Yu Ru had a leg brace on and couldn't run; running would injure her leg, so she didn't move and just stood quietly in place, watching the two of them operate it.

"They're quite cooperative." Li Shuangshuang laughed out loud, but the next second, her expression suddenly turned cold, and she reached out to remove Yu Ru's mask.

She tossed the mask aside and leaned closer to Yu Ru to examine her face closely. "Huh? There's a scar. It doesn't look good with that."

"Hey, how did you get this scar?" Li Shuangshuang asked.

Yu Ru remained silent, simply watching her quietly.

"Is he mute?" Li Shuangshuang frowned.

Deng Huairou chuckled. "Li Shuangshuang, why didn't you do a background check beforehand? She's really mute, she can't speak."

"Huh?" Li Shuangshuang was a little surprised. "She won't say anything no matter what we say?"

"You can also try saying something else to see if you can unleash her potential and get her to speak," Deng Huairou said with a smile.

They stopped Yuru for a while, saying many unpleasant things to her, but Yuru ignored them all, remaining indifferent. Finding it pointless, the two women stopped bothering her and let her leave.

Recalling the past, Li Shuangshuang froze, her breath caught in her throat, and cold sweat instantly soaked her back. The image of her first meeting with Yu Ru flooded her mind. What happened next slowly became clearer. What she did to Yu Ru included, but was not limited to: forcing her to apply poisonous face cream, spreading rumors, putting garbage in her food, slapping her…

She was particularly enthusiastic about disfiguring her. Because her features and face shape weren't considered attractive, she was self-aware enough to know she wasn't pretty, and that she was only passable because her family was wealthy and she had taken good care of her skin and teeth. Therefore, she especially disliked good-looking people. The moment she saw Yu Ru's face, she hated her, because that face didn't belong to her.

Seeing Li Shuangshuang like this, Yu Ru knew that she had remembered everything.

"You remember everything now, right? Then I don't need to tell you the answer anymore. Everything you have today is something you owe me."

"Why? You're standing right in front of me now, aren't you? Why are you coming to take revenge on me? Why are you trying to destroy me? I finally got everything I have now. Don't you think you've gone too far? Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

The two bodyguards standing next to her couldn't help but roll their eyes and whisper among themselves as they listened to her.

"How can this woman be so shameless? She bullies people and still thinks she's right. If Madam is really in trouble, she should be killed too."

"Exactly, how can they be so shameless?"

……

"Then why aren't you standing properly in front of me now? When you bullied me back then, didn't you ever think about whether you would suffer retribution?" Yu Ru retorted.

Li Shuangshuang didn't speak, only staring intently at Yu Ru. She wasn't stupid; judging from Zhang Jingxiang's attitude towards Yu Ru, she knew that this person she had once teased had now climbed to an unattainable position, and she could no longer act as recklessly as before.

After much deliberation, she suppressed her anger and tried to speak calmly, "So what do you mean by coming to see me today? What else do you want?"

"I've come to see how anxious and angry you are. I don't consider poverty my destiny, and you shouldn't consider wealth your lifelong fate. Things change, just like the sky won't rain forever. Every drop of the filth you threw at me before, I will pour back at you," Yu Ru said with a slight smile.

Li Shuangshuang gripped the bag tightly, her fingertips turning white. "Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to dictate my life? It's not certain who will win or lose between us yet. Just you wait and see."

"Fine, I'll wait and see. I'm also telling you in advance, I'm giving you one week to go abroad and never come back. If you choose to stay in the country, I'll make your life very colorful. You're welcome to try. Also, Zhang Jingxiang is my subordinate. You're unhappy that he broke up with you and want to cause a scene at his workplace. You can try that too, and see what dirty tricks I can come up with to deal with you. Maybe I'll send you to a mental hospital and lock you up for life, maybe I'll cut out your tongue so you can stop talking nonsense, or maybe I'll imprison you and torture you myself."

Li Shuangshuang scoffed, offered no response, and strode away.

Yanzi took a few steps forward, instinctively wanting to grab her back, but didn't. He turned to look at Yuru and asked, "Madam, should we grab her back and give her a beating?"

Yu Ru shook her head. "No need, she will come to me on her own."

……

Li Shuangshuang's family's largest tea factory recently replaced its tea-drying machines with a batch of highly efficient and intelligent new machines. Yu Ru discovered that she could hack into these machines. So, while the machines were running at their most intense, she rewrote the pre-set program, slightly increasing the actual tea-drying temperature, although the displayed temperature remained normal. Initially, no one noticed anything amiss. It wasn't until the tea was finished that the workers realized the temperature was wrong, wasting hundreds of kilograms of tea.

Because this batch of tea consisted of the most tender leaves, carefully selected, it was almost impossible to get another batch in a short period of time. As a result, the factory was unable to deliver the tea on time, causing the Li family to suffer heavy losses.

Because of this matter, the day when Li Shuangshuang took the initiative to find Yu Ru came very quickly. She didn't have Yu Ru's contact information, so she contacted her through Zhang Jingxiang.

Zhang Jingxiang made a phone call to Yu Ru.

"Master Yu, Li Shuangshuang said... she wants to meet with you. What do you think is the best way for me to handle this?"

"I won't see her. I've already told her that once she goes abroad, she'll never come back, and I don't care whether she's doing well or badly abroad. If she continues to stay in China, she can forget about having a peaceful life. Just tell her that."

"it is good."

When Li Shuangshuang received the message relayed by Zhang Jingxiang, she was so angry that she smashed everything she could pick up in her room, accidentally cutting her finger in the process. Ignoring her bleeding finger, she finished smashing things and collapsed weakly to the ground.

After sitting quietly amidst the mess for a long time, she picked up her phone and found Deng Huairou, whom she hadn't contacted in a long time, and sent her a message: "Deng Huairou, if you've run into any trouble lately, it's probably because of Yu Rugan."

A few minutes later, the other party replied with a question mark.
