Reborn back to the time before I sold my blood to support my scumbag boyfriend's college educat

Xia Yichu quickly stood up, nimbly dodging his attack. She looked around, searching for something she could use as a weapon. Just then, she saw a teapot on the table and reached out to pick it up.

As the greyhound approached again, Xia Yichu seized the opportunity and smashed the teapot hard against his head. With a "bang," the vase shattered, and the greyhound, dizzy from the impact, staggered a few times before collapsing to the ground.

Xia Yichu didn't dare linger. Taking advantage of the moment when the dog fell to the ground, she quickly ran towards the door. As soon as she opened the door, she bumped into Bai Mei and Hua Ge, who had just returned.

"Bai Mei, tie her up."

Hua Ge looked at Xia Yichu with a gloomy expression and said, "Bai Mei pulled Xia Yichu inside and saw Xi Gou lying on the ground with blood all over his head."

"Little Greyhound, Little Greyhound, how are you?"

Hua touched the dog's nose and found it was still breathing, calling out to it twice. It gradually woke up, while Bai Mei retied Xia Yichu's hands and feet.

"I'm going to kill her, that bitch dared to throw things at me."

The greyhound touched his head and found his hands covered in blood. He sat up and said angrily.

"Alright, stop fooling around. Bai Mei, go get the first-aid kit and bandage his wound."

"No, I must teach her a lesson today."

After speaking, he stood up to fight Xia Yichu, but was caught by the agent called Brother Hua.

"Are you ever going to stop? You're such a loser. You got beaten up by a girl and you still dare to brag about it. You're not ashamed, but I am."

"I was caught off guard, that's why she attacked me."

As Xigou spoke, his voice grew softer and softer. Who knew that Xia Yichu, a young girl, could be so ruthless, yet her movements were so smooth?

"Go sit over there and let Bai Mei treat your wound first."

Bai Mei brought over a first-aid kit. Although Xi Gou was unwilling, he could only give up for the time being and let Bai Mei clean and bandage his wounds. Xia Yichu was tied to the bed and sat there, looking at them indifferently.

"Xia Yichu, I'm warning you, if you hit someone again I'll kill you."

Hua Ge looked sharply at Xia Yichu. On his turf, Xia Yichu dared to hit his people. He must have some nerve.

Xia Yichu, unfazed by his threats, mocked, "Really? Xia Guoan isn't here, so are you willing to kill me?"

"To be honest, kidnapping me won't do any good. I've only known him for a little over a year. We've barely spent any time together, and he doesn't show me any affection. He won't come to rescue me."

"But that's not what I heard. I heard he gave you all his assets, and didn't keep any of the house or money for himself."

They had already investigated these matters thoroughly; don't even think about lying to them. With relatives in the Yang family involved, Xia Yichu wasn't surprised at all that the spies knew about her and the Xia family's situation.

"He felt guilty towards my mother and wanted to make up for it with material possessions. But it's absolutely impossible for him to exchange his scientific research achievements and state secrets for my safety."

Xia Yichu was not deceiving himself; Xia Guoan would rather die than betray the interests of the country.

"You're wrong. Our man just said he'd agree to any conditions, his only request is that they don't lay a finger on you. How about that? Aren't you incredibly touched?"

Xia Yichu was stunned. She wasn't surprised at all that Xia Guoan had come to Pengcheng. But the fact that the spy said these things was from Xia Guoan himself made her somewhat disbelieving. Wu Mingli had told her that he came to Pengcheng for the country, and rescuing her was just a side matter.

In her past life, Xia Yichu longed for the love of her biological father, while simultaneously harboring resentment towards Xia Guoan. Despite the numerous troubles she caused, he would only ever apologize to her.

He said it was all his fault, urging Xia Yichu to vent her anger on him and beg her to let the others go. Xia Guoan didn't realize that his words would only make Xia Yichu angrier, making her think that he only cared about the Xia family and only felt responsibility and guilt towards her.

When she was first reborn, Xia Yichu didn't have much money. She didn't need her father's love; she wanted Xia Guoan's money and house—only real money was reliable. Later, after receiving some unexpected wealth, she didn't want Xia Guoan's things as much anymore.

She has two uncles and two aunts, as well as cousins. She doesn't lack love; she lacks money. With money, she can do many things and make life better for herself and those she cares about.

So, to her, Xia Guoan was just a stranger who was a tool for her cousin to realize his dream and who also gave her a lot of money.

As for the Xia family, they can bring her more benefits. For example, Xia Zhiheng is the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau. As long as she has contact with the Xia family, she can use Xia Zhiheng's influence when needed.

Or if others knew she had a cousin who was the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, they would definitely have to think twice before trying to make things difficult for her. Saving Su Qingyan was both an act of atonement and a form of exploitation for Xia Yichu; saving her only brought him benefits.

But things are different now; she's slowly opening her heart to Su Qingyan. She doesn't have the same idea about Xia Guoan for the time being; maintaining the status quo is best.

"Xigou, you're coming out with me. Bai Mei, keep a close eye on her. If Xia Yichu dares to cause trouble again, teach her a lesson."

Bai Mei nodded, and Xi Gou followed Hua Ge, grumbling and cursing.

"Xia Yichu, be honest. We are all spies, and we have all sorts of ways to deal with people. You definitely don't want to experience those things."

Xia Yichu closed her eyes to rest and didn't reply. Bai Mei's words weren't meant to scare Xia Yichu, but rather to encourage her to behave herself.

Bai Mei didn't care whether Xia Yichu listened or not, and picked up a broom to clean up the broken pieces on the ground.

Evening arrived quickly. The spy nicknamed "Big Head," perhaps because of Xia Yichu's assault, instructed Bai Mei not to give her any food at noon or in the evening, only half a bowl of water.

Xia Yichu didn't drink the half bowl of water, and he didn't say anything either, only telling Bai Mei to keep an eye on her.

"Xia Guoan asked us where we were going to meet? He also wanted to see Xia Yichu or hear her speak to confirm that she was still alive."

Another spy, whom Xia Yichu had never seen before, arrived. He was responsible for contacting Xia Guoan. Xia Yichu had just spoken to him on the phone and was now here to report to Brother Hua.

"Er Mao, go to Da Tou's place again and call Xia Guoan at 12:30 tonight. Also, go buy a voice recorder now and have Xia Yichu say a few words into it."

"Just play it for Xia Guoan then, and leave immediately after the call. No one can live in Da Tou's place."

Hua Ge came up with this idea in such a short time, which greatly impressed Er Mao.

"Okay, I'll go buy a voice recorder right away. Once we catch Xia Guoan, everyone can go back home. We've done a great service this time, and the country won't let us down."

Er Mao's mind was filled with thoughts of returning to China so he could live openly and honestly, no longer having to live like a rat in the gutter, unable to sleep soundly at night.

"Alright, stop talking and get to work."

Hua Ge's mood visibly improved; he had had enough of living in hiding.

Xia Yichu listened intently to their conversation, planning to find a chance to hide in her spatial dimension that night. She definitely couldn't let Xia Guoan risk his life to save her.
