Chapter 3: Initial Encounter

After Xiong Yufang suffered Xiao Xue's public humiliation, the anger in her heart burned like a blazing fire, and she was by no means willing to be suppressed by Xiao Xue. She knows that Xiao Xue is determined to fight against her, and she herself is not the kind of person who will sit back and wait for death. So, she began to carefully plan how to deal with Xiao Xue's revenge, determined to give Xiao Xue a hard counterattack, let her know their own power.

Xiong Yufang's first thought was to utilize her connections in the social circle. She frequented various social occasions, and those so-called celebrities and noblewomen to play hot, in their ears to add oil and vinegar to tell the bad words of Xiao Xue. She made up all sorts of lies, claiming how Xiao Xue used to snatch other people's things by any means necessary, how she slandered others behind their backs, and tried to portray Xiao Xue as an unforgivable woman. These rumors spread quickly in the social circle as if they had wings, and soon, Xiao Xue's reputation was severely damaged.

Many people who had once crossed paths with Xiao Xue began to shun her after hearing these rumors, and some even pointed their fingers at her in public, putting Xiao Xue in an extremely awkward situation. When Xiao Xue walked on the street, she could feel the strange gazes of the people around her, and those gazes seemed like a sharp blade, piercing her heart. But the hatred in her heart makes her more determined to revenge, she knows clearly, these are just Xiong Yufang's plotting and scheming, she will not be easily defeated by these.

At the same time, Xiong Yufang also secretly hired a group of thugs, Xiao Xue personal threats. These thugs were ruthless and fearless people who, according to Xiong Yufang's instructions, began to loiter around Xiao Xue's residence, now and then intentionally making some noise in an attempt to make Xiao Xue feel fearful.

One night, Xiao Xue went home alone. When she reached the door of her house, several black shadows suddenly sprang out of the darkness and surrounded her. These beaters were full of cross-flesh and fierce eyes, they waved the sticks in their hands and said viciously to Xiao Xue, "Stinking woman, be honest from now on, or you'll have a good time!" Xiao Xue was shocked in her heart, but she quickly calmed down. She knew that she couldn't show the slightest bit of weakness at this time, otherwise it would only make these people more arrogant.

A hint of determination flashed in Xiao Xue's eyes as she coldly looked at these thugs and said, "Do you guys think you can scare me like this? Tell Xiong Yufang that these little tricks of hers are useless to me!" After saying that, she charged towards one of the beaters without fear. Although Xiao Xue had gone through a period of training, she still looked a little out of her depth when facing these professional beaters. Soon, she was knocked down to the ground, with multiple injuries on her body. However, she always clenched her teeth tightly and did not utter a single plea for mercy.

When these fighters saw how tenacious Xiao Xue was, they were also a little frightened in their hearts. Worried about making a big deal out of it, they hurriedly left after kicking Xiao Xue a few more times. Xiao Xue struggled to get up from the ground, looking at the back of those thugs leaving, the hatred in her heart intensified. She knows that the contradiction between herself and Xiong Yufang has reached an irreconcilable point, this battle will only end when one side completely falls.

Xiao Xue returned home and simply treated her wounds. She looked at her bruised self in the mirror, and a strong unwillingness welled up in her heart. She realized that she could no longer respond to Xiong Yufang's attacks in such a passive manner, she had to take the initiative and catch her off guard.

Thus, Xiao Xue began to re-examine her revenge plan. She understands that to really break Xiong Yufang, just rely on violence is not enough, but also need to start from her weaknesses. Xiao Xue through many inquiries, learned that Xiong Yufang has an illegitimate child, this child has been secretly raised by her, is the most caring person in her heart. Xiao Xue decides to look for a breakthrough from this child.

Xiao Xue began to send people to secretly follow Xiong Yufang, trying to find the opportunity for her to meet with her illegitimate son. After a period of observation, Xiao Xue finally grasped their whereabouts. She carefully planned an operation and prepared to deal a heavy blow to Xiong Yufang when she met with the child.

One day, Xiong Yufang traveled to a remote villa to meet her child as usual. She was so full of joy thinking about the time she was going to spend with her child that she didn't realize the danger that was approaching step by step. Xiao Xue and her men ambushed around the villa in advance, waiting for the best time.

When Xiong Yufang walked into the villa and embraced her child, Xiao Xue rushed in with her men. When Xiong Yufang saw Xiao Xue, her face instantly turned white, and she subconsciously shielded the child behind her. "How did you find this place? What do you want?" Xiong Yufang asked in horror.

Xiao Xue looked at her coldly and said, "Xiong Yufang, today is the day you die. You took away everything from me, and now I'm going to let you taste the pain of losing your loved ones as well!" After saying that, she signaled her men to take the child away.

Xiong Yufang went crazy and rushed towards Xiao Xue, trying to stop her. But Xiao Xue's men easily subdued her, and she could only watch the child being taken away, her heart filled with despair and anger. "Xiao Xue, if you dare to harm my child, I will definitely not let you go!" Xiong Yufang shouted frantically.

Xiao Xue took the child and left the villa, she didn't intend to really hurt this innocent child, she just wanted to use this to threaten Xiong Yufang and make her behave. Xiao Xue brought the child to a safe place, sent someone to take good care of him, and sent a text message to Xiong Yufang, telling her that if she wanted the child to be safe and sound, she had to do what she asked.

Xiong Yufang was in a dilemma after receiving the text message. She knew Xiao Xue's methods, if she did not agree to her request, the child will certainly be in danger; but if she agreed, she did not know what kind of harsh conditions Xiao Xue will put forward. After a painful struggle, Xiong Yufang finally decided to compromise for the sake of her child.

She followed Xiao Xue's request and came to a designated place. Xiao Xue had already been waiting there for a long time, and as she looked at Xiong Yufang's wretched appearance, she felt a hint of pleasure in her heart. "Xiong Yufang, you also have today!" Xiao Xue mocked.

Xiong Yufang gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Xue, what exactly do you want?"

Xiao Xue coldly said, "It's very simple, I want you to hand over all the properties that you have obtained through improper means over the years, and apologize to my family and admit all the crimes that you have committed."

Xiong Yufang's eyes widened, she didn't expect Xiao Xue to put forward such harsh conditions. "You are dreaming! I will never agree to this!" Xiong Yufang said angrily.

Xiao Xue sneered and said, "If you don't agree, you don't want to see your child again. I'll give you a day to think about it, and by this time tomorrow, if you haven't made a decision, you'll be waiting to collect your child's corpse!" After saying that, Xiao Xue turned around and left.

Xiong Yufang looked at Xiao Xue's departing back, her heart filled with hatred and helplessness. She knew that she was now in a desperate situation, but she would never give up easily. She began to look around for people who could help her, hoping to be able to save her child without meeting Xiao Xue's conditions.

On Xiao Xue's side, she also knew deep down that Xiong Yufang wouldn't give in easily, and she was already prepared to deal with everything. She knows that this battle with Xiong Yufang has just begun, and there are more challenges waiting for her behind. But the hatred in her heart made her fearless, she must make Xiong Yufang pay a heavy price for everything she did.

Just as Xiao Xue was waiting for Xiong Yufang's reply, she suddenly received a call from Zhang Long. Zhang Long told her on the phone that their criminal behavior had attracted the attention of the police, and told her to be careful during this recent period of time and try not to expose her whereabouts.

Xiao Xue was shocked in her heart, she did not expect things to develop so quickly. She knew that if she was caught by the police, then the revenge plan would be completely lost. She had to solve Xiong Yufang before the police found her, and then find a way to get out in one piece.

Xiao Xue began to act more cautiously, she reduced her direct contact with her men and communicated everything through secret channels. At the same time, she also accelerated her pressing of Xiong Yufang, she knew that time was running out and she could not give Xiong Yufang any more chance to breathe.

The next day, Xiong Yufang arrived at the meeting place as agreed. Her eyes were filled with exhaustion and despair, but her attitude remained resolute. "Xiao Xue, I won't agree to your conditions. You can kill or die as you like, but you don't want to get a single penny from me!" Xiong Yufang said.

Xiao Xue looked at Xiong Yufang and the anger in her heart burned again. "Do you really think I don't dare?" Xiao Xue said, taking out her cell phone and preparing to call the henchmen guarding the child.

Just at this moment, there was a sudden burst of sirens. Xiao Xue and Xiong Yufang both froze, they didn't know why the police would appear at this time. Before they could react, a group of police had already rushed over and surrounded them.

"Freeze! You are all under arrest!" The police shouted.

Xiao Xue's heart was filled with despair, she knew that her revenge plan had completely failed. She looked at Xiong Yufang with hatred in her eyes. "It's all you, it's all because of you! If it wasn't for you, how would I end up in this situation today!" Xiao Xue said angrily.

Xiong Yufang also had a look of horror on her face, she didn't expect things to turn out like this. "I didn't want this either, Xiao Xue. We've all been caught by fate." Xiong Yufang said helplessly.

Just like that, Xiao Xue and Xiong Yufang were taken away by the police. Their fates were rewritten from then on, and the grudge between them also drew a temporary end at this moment. But they do not know is that all this is just a beginning, a bigger storm is still waiting for them.
