Bai Ruoqi felt something explode in her mind.
She trembled and said, "What do you mean by Young Master Bai? Who is he, and what did he tell you?"
The man angrily replied, "What business is it of yours? I'm going to kill you today, no matter who comes!"
"You slut, you deserve to die!"
Wu Tian frowned, then instantly appeared before the man.
He punched the man, making him dizzy and disoriented, then directly crushed his kneecaps!
"Like to talk nonsense, do you?"
Wu Tian said coldly, "Do you want me to cut off your tongue too?"
The man let out a piercing scream.
At this moment, the two bodyguards also heard the commotion and ran over.
Upon seeing this scene, they were naturally stunned.
Wu Tian squatted down, patted the man's cheek, and then said, "Answer her question, or do you believe I'll cut off your tongue?"
The man was frightened by Wu Tian's ferocity, and his anger instantly vanished like smoke.
Fearing what Wu Tian might do to him, he quickly said, "No, no, I'll tell you everything you want to know!"
"The one who invested in me is Young Master Bai from the Bai family, but I don't know his name either!"
"He sent people to tell me that if I wanted his investment, I had to kill you, Miss Bai!"
"He also told me that it wouldn't matter even if I killed her, and I wouldn't be punished."
"I was blinded by greed, so I did it!"
"So that's how it is," Wu Tian said coldly, then turned to the bodyguards and said, "Take him away."
The two bodyguards hesitated and glanced at Bai Ruoqi. Seeing that Bai Ruoqi had nothing more to say, they immediately took the man away.
Wu Tian walked to Bai Ruoqi's side and said in a low voice, "How do you plan to deal with this matter?"
Bai Ruoqi was still trying to process everything.
After a while, she said with disbelief, "Why is this happening? I haven't done anything, why would he want to kill me?"
Wu Tian patted her shoulder and said, "This is just how the world is. The saying that it takes two to clap is just empty talk. Some people will attack, and it has nothing to do with you."
"From my guess, that guy is just testing the waters now. If it succeeds, great, and if not, it doesn't matter."
"But what's certain is that he indeed has ill intentions towards you."
"So in the days to come, you must be extremely careful. After all, who knows how many more such tests there will be?"
Bai Ruoqi said, "This is too detestable, he's truly too detestable. Will he only be satisfied if he forces me to death?"
"I can't accept this, I really... can't accept it!"
Wu Tian said solemnly, "So we can't tolerate it any longer. If we keep enduring, in the end, only we will be hurt. Therefore, we must fight back."
"If we resist, we might have a chance to turn the tables, but if we don't, the final outcome will be to be slaughtered."
"Fight back?" Bai Ruoqi looked at Wu Tian blankly.
"But how can we resist? My cousin now controls seventy percent of the family's power, and our family doesn't even have ten percent."
"Do we really have a hope of turning things around? I doubt it myself, I think it's impossible."
"Nothing is impossible, it's just a matter of whether you do it or not," Wu Tian said. "However, I can't think of any effective methods right now, but you should still keep what I said in your heart."
"Although I said I would protect you, no matter what, you must become stronger yourself!"
Wu Tian's words had a huge impact on Bai Ruoqi.
She understood. Yes, she had been living in her cousin's shadow all along, but how could this continue?
Against such a person, the only way was to resist. Fighting might offer a chance, but if she didn't fight, there would be no hope at all!
Thinking of this, Bai Ruoqi's eyes became resolute.
She nodded and said, "I understand, I will work hard."
Seeing that she had finally cheered up, Wu Tian was also very happy.
He smiled and stroked Bai Ruoqi's head, saying, "This is the you I know. You are so outstanding, how can you be defeated by such a small difficulty?"
Bai Ruoqi really wished Wu Tian would touch her like this; it made her feel a sense of warmth.
She smiled and said, "Wu Tian, it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what to do!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "You don't need to thank me, we're friends, aren't we? This is what I should do."
"Friends?" Bai Ruoqi's eyes suddenly became hopeful again.
"But Wu Tian, if I don't want our relationship to remain just at the level of friends, what will you do?"
"Ah, this..." Wu Tian naturally understood what Bai Ruoqi meant.
But he always didn't know how to answer such questions.
So he changed the subject and said, "Oh no, my friend is still waiting outside, let's go quickly!"
After saying that, Wu Tian quickly walked forward.
Looking at Wu Tian's retreating back, Bai Ruoqi paused for two seconds, then suddenly broke into a charming smile.
Back in the hall, Wu Tian couldn't find Tang Qi.
He quickly called her and only then found out that Tang Qi had noticed he was gone and was waiting for him in the lobby.
He and Bai Ruoqi walked into the lobby and indeed saw Tang Qi standing there alone. She alone formed a stunningly beautiful scene.
He quickly walked over and said, "Tang Qi! I'm sorry, I had something to do, so I left without saying goodbye."
As soon as Tang Qi saw Wu Tian, anger immediately appeared on her face.
She said angrily, "Good for you. If you wanted to leave, why didn't you tell me? Do you know how worried I was about you?"
Wu Tian smiled sheepishly, "Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's my fault this time, I apologize to you, will you forgive me?"
"Hmph!" Tang Qi pouted. At this moment, she noticed Bai Ruoqi following behind Wu Tian.
Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief, and she said, "Miss Bai, why are you here?"
Bai Ruoqi was also startled to see Tang Qi, then showed a subtle smile and said to Wu Tian, "Wu Tian, so this is your friend? She's really beautiful!"
