Chapter 663: Chapter 632: Siege, Brawling_1

He Tiantian bought a watch for her mother-in-law, as the one her mother-in-law had was old. It was the perfect new replacement and a birthday gift.

Every year on her birthday, Jiang Lifang always prepared a birthday gift for her, so she wanted to reciprocate for her mother-in-law.

Huang Jingli and Cui Ying had also made their purchases.

The two of them walked back to school while He Tiantian rode her bicycle home.

He Tiantian took a shortcut, hoping to get home quickly. As she passed through a dilapidated alley, she got trapped by people at both ends.

He Tiantian furrowed her brows and looked around; the newcomers were up to no good!

Without hesitation, He Tiantian stopped her bicycle and climbed onto it, then scaled the nearby wall.

Initially wanting to call for help, He Tiantian realized given the dilapidated courtyard, there would likely be no one to hear her. Now, escaping was of the utmost importance.

As for the new bicycle, it didn’t matter anymore. The most important thing was not to let these ruffians bully her.

The Little Rotating Turtle was stunned, not expecting its mistress to move so quickly!

Seeing that its mistress had disappeared, the Little Rotating Turtle swiftly cast a spell, plunging the people into chaos, causing them to claw at each other and become entangled in a fight.

He Tiantian, who had intended to flee, was startled by the sounds of fighting and cursing coming from the alley entrance.

Could someone have come to her rescue?

Filled with curiosity, He Tiantian peered over the wall to look down and was flabbergasted.

The thugs were really amusing, now starting to fight among themselves.

He Tiantian looked around and, not seeing Huo Yingjie, whispered cautiously, "Little Rotating Turtle..."

The first person He Tiantian thought of was the Snake King, but the Snake King had already left.

The only ones left with magical powers were Huo Yingjie and the Little Rotating Turtle.

With Huo Yingjie at home watching the kids, that left only the Little Rotating Turtle.

Seeing that He Tiantian had discovered its presence, the Little Rotating Turtle showed its true form and said, "Mistress..."

"Thank you for this time. Quickly now, get my bicycle out, and let’s hurry away," He Tiantian said, regretting her decision to take the shortcut.

Not only did it not save her time, but it also made her a target for thugs.

Luckily, the Little Rotating Turtle was there; otherwise, she would have suffered.

"Yes, mistress," said the Little Rotating Turtle. It promptly got He Tiantian’s bicycle to the mouth of the alley.

With the Little Rotating Turtle’s help, He Tiantian escaped from the decrepit alley and hurried toward the main road, no longer daring to take shortcuts.

Finally free from danger, He Tiantian looked back to find that the Little Rotating Turtle had vanished.

"Little Rotating Turtle?" He Tiantian called out softly, "Did you follow me?"

"I did," the Little Rotating Turtle said. "There are many people on the road, so I became invisible to avoid causing trouble."

"Have you been following me all this time?" He Tiantian inquired.

"Yes, it was master’s orders," the Little Rotating Turtle replied. "Master is worried about your safety. Please, mistress, do not take offense."

He Tiantian then realized and chuckled, "Little Rotating Turtle, you used to call me Tiantian. You can call me by my name in the future. Hearing you call me mistress all the time feels quite awkward."

"You are the master’s wife, hence mistress," the Little Rotating Turtle insisted, tears streaming down its cheeks!

It too wished to call her Tiantian, but that was the master’s privilege. If it dared to do so, the master would surely take its life!

"If you insist, then have it your way." He Tiantian did not force the issue and stopped persuading, "Let’s hurry home then. I’m never going out alone again, it’s too scary."

"Madam, those people have been following you for a while, as if they already knew where you were going," Little Rotating Turtle said. "Moreover, I’ve extracted the memory of their leader and will transfer it to the master when we get back for him to decide."

He Tiantian was stunned and said, "Are you suggesting that those people were premeditated?"

"Definitely!" Little Rotating Turtle said, "Madam, let’s hurry back."

"Okay!" He Tiantian said. She was no longer just a sent-down youth or a student; she was Huo Yingjie’s wife, a daughter-in-law of the Huo family, and the mother of two children.

She had no enemies in Nan City. If someone was deliberately following her, it might be to target the Huo family.

He Tiantian picked up the pace, and within twenty minutes, she was home.

Seeing He Tiantian return, Huo Yingjie, especially noticing her panicked expression, asked, "What happened?"

"Master, I’ll transfer the memory to you," Little Rotating Turtle said. This was much faster than recounting it sentence by sentence.

Huo Yingjie accessed the memory and immediately knew everything.

"It was her!" Huo Yingjie narrowed his eyes. That woman had flirted with him several times, but he ignored her, not wanting to disturb his peaceful life.

He had avoided the situation on his end, but that Wang Bing had actually gone after Tiantian.

That woman was audacious.

If you’re bold, then I’ll make you bolder until your courage breaks.

Upon hearing this, He Tiantian grew curious and asked, "Who is it?"

"Wang Bing!" Huo Yingjie didn’t hide it from He Tiantian; there was no point in trying since it couldn’t be hidden anyway.

Rather than having He Tiantian hear it from someone else, it was better for Huo Yingjie to tell her himself.

"Wang Bing?" He Tiantian frowned, and then remembered, "Qin Li’s cousin?"

"Yes, that woman is unquiet. She tried to seduce me several times, but I ignored her. Now, emboldened, she actually hired someone to deal with you," Huo Yingjie said coldly, his honesty clear. He hadn’t harbored any improper intentions.

He Tiantian trusted Huo Yingjie; if he really had been unfaithful, she would have been the first to sense it.

"If that woman didn’t succeed this time, what if there’s a next time? What should we do?" He Tiantian asked, worried. Why did some people, knowing full well that Huo Yingjie was married, still shamelessly throw themselves at him?

With so many men in the world, why fixate on hers?

"Leave this matter to me. I will ensure you are not harmed," Huo Yingjie said. Hiring thugs cost money.

Wang Bing was just a school doctor—how much could she have?

It wasn’t even her own money, but her family’s!

So, Huo Yingjie would start by having Wang Bing’s father lose his position, cutting off the economic source; then, Wang Bing would reap what she sowed. She liked to associate with thugs, so let her become the wife of one.

When you’re in the underworld, there’s always payback.

One should be prepared for revenge if they commit bad deeds.

"Okay, I trust Brother Yingjie," He Tiantian said, gently embracing Huo Yingjie.

Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "Alright, leave such matters to me. But you need to be careful in the future and avoid going to places where there are few people."

"I’ll remember that," He Tiantian said, never again daring to take shortcuts alone.

"Mm, good, be obedient..." Huo Yingjie said softly. As for those people, he would not be lenient; he would make them pay the price.

His woman—no one was allowed to touch!

Nor could anyone harm her!
