It doesn't matter if your souls are scattered, as long as you die.

"Ahhh..."

"Stop, stop..."

"Ahhh..."

"Please let me go...please let me go..."

"I have money, I'll give you money, just let me go."

He thought to himself that even if she had a grudge against Jiazigou, she shouldn't have come looking for him.

But knowing that this person was completely unreasonable, it would be better to bribe him and beg him to save his life.

Yun Li stopped. In the darkness, the man couldn't see Yun Li's face at all. He gritted his teeth and showed a hint of relief, thinking that she had stopped because she heard that she was being paid.

There is hope. As long as I can live, money and such are not important at all.

"Well, um, I have a lot of money hidden away, all in a small courtyard in B City. It's all yours, all yours!"

Yun Li didn't respond, and the man didn't know what she was thinking, so he gritted his teeth and kept quiet, waiting for her reply.

The hammer dripped blood, its soft sound echoing as it struck the ground, standing out sharply in the silence broken only by a few breaths.

"Do you know Yunxuan?"

She spoke up, and the man was pleased. As long as there was something to talk about, anything was possible.

"I don't know him." He really didn't know him; at that moment, all he wanted was to survive, and he dared not lie for a second.

"Do you know San Niu?"

The man looked thoughtful. The name sounded familiar. After thinking for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"I know him/her, no, I don't know him/her, I've just heard of him/her."

Yun Li: "Where did you hear that?"

The ground was wet and cold, and the pain from his leg injury made the man shiver.

However, this did not prevent him from answering Yun Li's question.

"It was a woman from Jiazigou who contacted me. She claimed to be my third aunt. During our casual conversation, she exclaimed: 'Tianzhu's third daughter is so lucky to have been chosen by the guardian spirit.'"

Yun Li: "Do you know any people from Jiazigou who were switched at birth?"

"Two!" the man answered quickly, afraid that if he hesitated even for a second, things would change.

"Who are they, where do they live, and what do they do?"

"One is named Ou Wei, in his forties, who is the workshop director of a wool textile factory in City A. The other is named Tian Xia, in her twenties, who is a sales clerk at a department store in City A."

Yun Li secretly memorized the information about the two people and asked in a cold voice, "What other information do you know about Jiazigou? Tell me all of it."

The man racked his brains, trying to recall what else he could say to try and satisfy her.

After thinking for no more than three seconds, he said, "The newspaper says that you can find the replaced Jiazigou bloodline. There must be quite a few replaced or hidden Jiazigou people who are afraid of being found by you."

Most of them went into hiding, though some may have revealed their identities and begged for protection from the police.

Upon hearing this, Yunli understood immediately; no wonder the people she had recently found were all in the mountains.

So they ran away out of fear.

If everyone hides in the mountains, her revenge timeline will be stretched out.

It seems I need to buy a detailed map of the whole country to see exactly which mountains there are.

"Is there anything else to add?"

The man was jolted awake, his brain starting to work again, but the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and he couldn't think of anything.

Despite the freezing weather, he was so anxious that he was covered in sweat.

"No, that's all..."

"Please spare me, I've told you everything I know."

In the darkness, Yun Li glanced at him regretfully, then the large iron hammer was raised and lowered again.

"what……"

"You bitch, you broke your promise! You'll die a horrible death!"

"what……"

"..."

With curses and hammer blows, the man fell dead half an hour later.

Yun Li looked at his two intact arms, thought for three seconds, and then continued smashing them.

After smashing all four limbs, Yun Li's gaze fell on the two youths.

Two and a half hours later, she entered the space covered in blood.

She was very happy to have solved three problems at once. After taking a nice bath and having a delicious meal, she rested.

……

In the nameless mountains

In front of a wooden house, a young man dressed in an ancient robe is knocking on the door.

The door was opened quickly.

The woman who opened the door was in her twenties with a braided hairstyle. If Yun Li were here, she would recognize her as Yun Xuan.

Upon seeing the young man, Yunxuan casually invited him into the house.

The young man entered the room, lifted the corner of his robe, and sat down on the only chair. Yunxuan sat on the bed, watching the young man warily.

"Who are you?!"

More than a month ago, she woke up and suddenly found herself in this place.

Based on the climate, she concluded that this place was at least a thousand miles away from the north.

At first, she thought it was that little bastard who did it, but later someone brought her food, which included meat and eggs, a rather lavish meal for that era.

Therefore, she could conclude that it was absolutely not that little bastard who brought her here.

She asked the person who delivered the food who brought her there, only to discover that the woman who delivered the food was mute.

Not getting an answer didn't frighten her too much. Being treated to good food and drink meant that the person behind the scenes wouldn't want her dead.

Having lived through many lifetimes in the same world as Yun Jiaoyue, she learned a lesson from Yun Jiaoyue: no matter what you have experienced, as long as you are alive, anything is possible.

The person in front of me came once half a month ago. When he came, he only said one sentence coldly: "Write down the knowledge in your mind. That is the only value of your life."

When her secret was discovered, she panicked for a brief moment, but quickly came to terms with it. Since the other party had something to ask for, they certainly wouldn't kill her easily.

This is not a bad thing, but a good thing.

However, she didn't want to give people what they wanted so easily, so she didn't write a single word for the past two weeks.

The young man did not answer immediately, but tapped the armrest of the chair with one finger, his expression calm as if he was thinking about something.

After a long while, he finally turned his gaze to Yunxuan. "You don't need to know who I am. The only thing you need to do is write down the knowledge of other worlds from your memories."

"Besides, your child is safe now, so don't worry."

When the topic of her child came up, Yunxuan became very agitated and angry. "You took my child!"

The young man's gaze was indifferent. "Arrest? You're joking. It's protection!"

"Nonsense! My child lives with his father in the military compound. He is in no danger and doesn't need your protection at all."

The young man stood up, leaning on the armrest of the chair, one hand behind his back, his gaze towards Yunxuan filled with mockery. "Don't you know who killed the people of Jiazigou?"

"If she wants, entering a military compound is almost like going home."

Even if a person with memories of ninety-nine lifetimes is a useless person in every lifetime, she is by no means a useless mortal.

Yunxuan didn't quite believe it, but she had no choice but to believe it, since even Dahuang had broken.

The young man then reminded him, "Remember, write down what we need as soon as possible. As long as your contribution is significant enough, we will always protect you and your child."

After saying that, he walked out, but stopped at the door and said something without turning back:

"A barrier has been set up here, so no matter what methods that person uses, they won't be able to find you. Therefore, you'd better not even think about leaving this place."

A woman with painted designs on her face ran towards them from a distance. The young man went to meet her, but the woman stopped immediately upon seeing him.

"Huang Gui, the bureau has assigned us a mission."

The young man nodded. "Wu Jiu, pack up and get ready to leave. We'll talk on the way."

Wu Jiu glanced at the hut. "Huang Gui, shouldn't we report that she's of Jiazigou blood?"

The young man frowned and shook his head slightly. "Let's keep it a secret for now."

If her identity is exposed now, the higher-ups will know that Yun Jiaoyue was deliberately sent to Jiazigou.

Even if such a villain were capable of producing something beneficial to the country, it would likely be unpleasant to use.

Of course, there was another reason why he didn't report it: he had to give Mu Qian face.

Although Mu Qian didn't explain anything, he helped prove that Yun Li was Yun Jiaoyue's daughter.

This shows that he knew Yun Li was the murderer in the bone-crushing case.

He knew but didn't report it, which meant he was intentionally hiding it; he didn't want to be the bad guy.

Wu Jiu shrugged. Whether she kept it a secret or told others, she didn't care.

"I'm leaving!" the young man said, and strode away.
