Era: After foreseeing the future, I changed my fate using spatial abilities.

Chapter 117 Follow-up
The sound of fingertips tapping on the table created a tense atmosphere throughout the room.

Even Jin Biao, who was his most trusted subordinate and had seen many big scenes, couldn't help but break out in a fine sweat.

Don't be fooled by his name into thinking he's a polite, refined scholar before his disfigurement. Anyone who has witnessed his ruthless methods and knows his character will be terrified.
Just when he thought that, as usual, the more silent he remained, the more raging his anger would eventually erupt, Yan Bin, the leader, unexpectedly spoke up.

"Biaozi, we're probably being watched."

From his home to his old hideout, he had to go back to the abandoned house and cellar he had checked beforehand, but these successive events forced him to go again, and sure enough... as expected.

The initial, escalating anger reached its peak, but a moment of blankness suddenly calmed him down.

Who exactly is it that has such powerful connections and influence in Gushi, besides their own family?

Is all this fuss just for money?
No, absolutely impossible!

Thinking of what was recorded in that booklet, Yan Bin stopped what he was doing, took a deep breath, and said, "Biaozi, send someone to the contact point to meet with Master Feng as soon as possible. Also, take care to sell off the rest of the items, take inventory, and make preparations."

He didn't explicitly say what he was preparing, but Jin Biao understood the implication.

She looked at him in shock, "Brother Bin, you mean... we're just giving up all the territory we fought so hard to build?"

Yan Bin did not give a direct answer, but waved his hand to indicate that he should do as he was told, leaving no room for further discussion.

Looking at Jin Biao's indignant, almost murderous expression, he only said one sentence.

"The prerequisite is that you have to be alive to enjoy it!"

If that thing were to be reported to the authorities, not only would those behind him be willing to do so, but even those behind his back would have to find a way to kill him.

When he can truly give up these things, his black market territory?

But what are these things compared to fate? What else can we do if we don't give up? As long as we're alive, we can always start over with our brothers.

Don't give him a chance to expose the group behind the scenes!

He will make them know what it means to regret their actions and be unable to escape death, and let them witness the ten most cruel tortures of the Qing Dynasty.

"By the way, Brother Bin."

After struggling with his inner conflict, Jin Biao had no choice but to obey his orders. But just as he was about to leave the study, he suddenly remembered something and immediately turned around.

"Sanzi and the others have been taken to the station. Should we ask Boss Feng to help get them out?"

After all, this little matter is just a phone call for Master Feng, much faster than them handling it themselves.

Since the goal is to take inventory or even leave, the more people the better.

"What happened? Didn't Tian Tian say she was just a girl? She went to teach someone a lesson and ended up getting herself into trouble?"

This day wasn't chaotic enough already!

"The underlings outside sent word that it seems the eldest young master of the Qiao family suddenly got involved."

"The Qiao family?"

Yan Bin pinched his brow hard, suddenly feeling utterly exhausted. "If it's not a big deal, try to handle things through our own connections. As for the Qiao family and Master Feng, don't worry about them for now. Just get what I asked you to do as soon as possible."

They're almost homeless, and they're still shamelessly acting like subservient people everywhere. Humph.

"I understand, Brother Bin."

……

Peach Blossom Spring, inside the courtyard.

"Hello!"

After sneezing loudly, Suning rubbed his slightly sore and itchy nose back and forth with his index finger.

The only people who could stay up late and curse her like this are Yan Bin and his gang, right?

"Get to work, let's get started!"

The sudden sneeze shook away any drowsiness I felt. I glanced at the time, got up, and washed my face with cold water.

The icy water splashing on her face sent a shiver down her spine.

She quickly changed into a plain-colored outfit that looked a bit dowdy. When braiding her hair, she didn't use hair clips anymore, but instead deliberately grabbed a few strands of hair to cover her eyebrows and eyes.

As for her radiant white skin, it was treated with a non-toxic and harmless herbal ointment, turning it a dull yellow. Small freckles were then added to the sides of her nose. Seeing herself in the small glass mirror, so different from usual, even familiar people would only vaguely recognize her without any particular association.

Nodding in satisfaction, he picked up the things he had worked on all night from his desk and slipped out of the space.

The moment she came out, Su Ning glanced around warily, and only left quickly and lightly after confirming that no one was around.

The moon had completely disappeared behind the clouds, leaving only a sliver of gray on the horizon. Occasionally, the sounds of roosters crowing and dogs barking could be heard in the quiet alleyway.

Without the lights of every household to guide her, she could only grope her way out of the alley in the dark, relying on her sense of smell.

When we reached the main street and saw the streetlights, my anxiety eased a little.

He took the bicycle out of his spatial storage and sped off towards the city government.

Just before dawn, I finally managed to slip the complaint letter into the mailbox.

To be on the safe side, she also secretly slipped into several other important departments and left the same letters.

Of course, the copy left for Uncle Luo was the most comprehensive, the original handwritten booklet by Yan Bin.

She trusted Luo Fusen's character; she felt most at ease entrusting this matter to him.

After putting things away and cleaning up any traces, Su Ning climbed down the long ladder, put the ladder back into her spatial storage, and did not choose to leave immediately.

Instead, they chose a spot with a relatively good view, where they could see the Z City Building at a glance, to wait.

As dawn broke, the streets were first filled with the busy figures of sanitation workers, and gradually more elderly people and women who got up early to go buy groceries appeared.

She patiently waited until she saw the city's Z staff arriving for work one after another, including that familiar figure, before she finally felt relieved and got up to leave.

She hid in the public restroom to change back into her everyday clothes, washed off the medicine on her face, and then rode her bicycle home in a joyful mood.

……

"Ning Ning!"

"Sister-in-law? Where are you headed?"

"I was just worried about you. You've only just gotten back?"

Tian Xiang couldn't sleep all night, tossing and turning, just worrying and being scared. She thought that if she went to check again early in the morning and the person still hadn't returned, she would have to go to the police station to report the case.

When they arrived at the gate of the small courtyard, the same big lock was still on and could not be opened. Tian Xiang, whose heart sank completely, dared not delay any longer and turned around and ran out of the alley.

Unexpectedly, he bumped into Suning, who had just returned on his bicycle.

She was both relieved and angry, and her voice was inevitably a little loud and agitated, "Why aren't you home so late at night? You scared me to death! Did something happen?"

Without saying a word, Tian Xiang stepped forward and grabbed her hand. Only then did she notice that there were fresh scabs on her exposed arms, calves, and even face.

The worry and anxiety in her eyes were almost overflowing. "What, what's wrong, Ningning?"

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I just ran into a group of thugs. Luckily, my colleagues at the factory helped me, and a kind person called the police in time, so it's nothing serious."

Since the Yan family and Yan Bin's affairs couldn't be mentioned, Su Ning could only downplay what had happened before and tell a white lie.

"I went to the hospital and gave a statement while waiting for the comrade who was implicated to wake up. That's why I didn't come back or tell you. I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I made you worry."

"What are these thugs up to? Didn't your brother Zhang teach them a lesson last time? They're bastards!"

Tian Xiang didn't suspect anything, after all, there was red medicine left on the wound after the hospital treatment.

She felt both heartache and lingering fear. Why did her husband have to go on this long-distance trip and run into this?

"I'll listen to your brother Zhang. Starting today, your sister-in-law will accompany you to and from get off work. This is terrifying!"

"No need, sister-in-law. Those people are all handcuffed and won't be out for a while, so don't worry."

"Come on, go home and rest. Your sister-in-law will check if you have any more injuries. There's medicine at home that your brother Zhang prepared. I'll go get it for you and also take Xiao Yuanquan back to you."

The two walked side by side toward home, their conversation punctuated by the occasional curses from Tian Xiang and the gentle soothing words of Su Ning.

Meanwhile, on the same day, as the letters of complaint she left behind were opened and examined one after another, the entire Z Building in the city was thrown into unprecedented activity.

One by one, the inspectors wearing hats began to quickly arrange for the suspects to come to the station for questioning based on the information provided in the report.
