After Awakening, She Tore Apart Her Enemies and Joined the Army on an Island - Chapter 3

Su Meng let out a light scoff and raised her hand as if to strike.

She swung her hand as if to slap, but it was a feint, instead, she struck back with the back of her hand.

Calmly, she said, “Remember? When I was little, you used to hit me just like this, saying it was for my own good, to make me behave. Now, you behave!”

With a sharp smack, Zhong Cuilin had no time to dodge and took the slap squarely. Instantly, half her face was throbbing and numb.

She was furious!

She wanted to kill… kill this bitch. Right now, immediately!

The murderous intent in her eyes felt almost tangible, enveloping Su Meng.

Su Meng scoffed lightly, “Some people just need a beating!”

Daring to show murderous intent? Then she’d beat her down first.

Her movements were swift as lightning, striking Zhong Cuilin until she was dizzy and disoriented, spinning before collapsing to the ground.

The sudden turn of events shocked everyone, stunning the doctor and intimidating the petty thieves in the room.

Second Grandma’s dizziness vanished. Trembling, she walked back, picked up the fallen jewelry, and carefully returned it to its place.

A few other daughters-in-law exchanged glances, stepping back in fear as they quietly returned the items they had hidden in their pockets or small bags.

Only Zhong Wanrou remained frozen in place, a look of sheer horror on her face, a red velvet box peeking out from her sleeve.

Meeting Su Meng’s icy gaze, she shivered involuntarily, thinking, How dare this bitch fight back?

Usually, when we take her things, she just hides in a corner crying and drawing circles, doesn’t she?

“Put it down now!” Su Meng snapped impatiently.

Zhong Wanrou instinctively took a step back.

Then, as if remembering something, she straightened up and moved closer to Su Meng, taunting her provocatively, “What’s mine is mine. Shut your mouth and stop yelling!”

Su Meng curled her lips, rolled up her sleeves, and raised her hand to strike.

Hmph!

She really was asking for a beating!

Su Meng recalled how, in the book, Zhong Wanrou had plundered the Su family’s wealth and ruthlessly eliminated everyone connected to them.

Putting all her strength into it, her palm cut through the air with force, sending the contemptuous and provocative Zhong Wanrou flying.

She landed right on top of Zhong Cuilin.

“Ah! You hit me? How dare you hit me? I’ll kill you, you unwanted fool!”

Before her scream faded, Zhong Cuilin shoved her away, sending her crashing into the nearby bedpost.

Zhong Cuilin didn’t even glance at the suddenly silent Zhong Wanrou. Clutching her ringing head, she tried to stand up but failed again and again.

Doctor Zheng Yunting stepped forward to support her, his voice harsh as he accused Su Meng, “Comrade Su, how can you be so violent? Beating your elders and bullying your sisters, is this how you were raised?”

Su Meng shot him a disdainful look, her gaze fixed on the arm wrapped around Zhong Cuilin’s waist.

She sneered, “Who do you think you are? What are you to Zhong Cuilin? Her husband or her lover?”

As soon as she spoke, the room fell so silent that only the sound of breathing remained.

Second Grandma and her two daughters-in-law were no longer in a hurry to leave. Crowded by the door, their eyes shifted between Zhong Cuilin and Zheng Yunting, their expressions strange and excited.

Zheng Yunting’s face flushed red, but he didn’t remove his hand from the woman’s waist. He roared, “Shut up! You’re slandering me!”

Just as Su Meng was about to retort, she saw Zhong Wanrou stagger to her feet.

Then, clutching her head in pain, she crouched down again.

Sweat poured from her body, her face as pale as a ghost’s, radiating shock, fury, grief, and madness.

Su Meng’s heart jolted. An inexplicable feeling told her that Zhong Wanrou must have been reborn.

She walked over and slapped her on the shoulder, “Zhong Wanrou, what’s wrong with you?”

By now, Zhong Wanrou had fully absorbed the memories of her past life.

She glared at Su Meng and said weakly, “None of your damn business!”

She distinctly remembered that in her previous life, they had caught Su Meng and that soldier in bed together on this very day.

Why was it different now?

Not only was the soldier not in the room, but Su Meng had also just returned from outside.

What on earth was going on?

Before she could sort out her thoughts, she heard Su Meng speak, “Zhong Wanrou, do you know whose seed you are? His? Or that man your mother mentioned? Or…”

She deliberately said this to disrupt Zhong Wanrou’s thoughts and muddy the waters.

Zhong Wanrou was stunned and shocked!

Zhong Cuilin finally snapped!

She lunged at Su Meng like a demon, screaming, “I’ll tear your mouth apart!”

Su Meng sneered and dodged Zhong Cuilin’s attack.

But she never expected that Zheng Yunting, a grown man, would attack her.

Just as she was about to be caught by Zheng Yunting.

The syringe in his hand was about to plunge into her arm.

In a desperate struggle, Su Meng mustered all her strength and delivered a vicious kick to his groin. Zheng Yunting grunted in pain.

In just a second, he stubbornly teamed up with Zhong Cuilin to attack again.

“Stop!”

Shen Wuyang’s voice rang out at the door.

Huo Zhenhua had also entered at some point and restrained Zheng Yunting.

The tip of the syringe hung perilously just a centimeter away from her arm.

Su Meng snatched the syringe and without hesitation stabbed it back, “Take this back!”

In an instant, Zheng Yunting’s face turned pale, his lips turned blue, and he collapsed to the ground.

Panicked, he trembled and pleaded, “Save me! Quick!”

Zhong Cuilin screamed hysterically, “Quick, go call for help! Oh my god!

This is going to be a death! Hurry! Hurry up…”

Su Meng stared coldly at Zhong Cuilin, “So, you wanted me dead? With witnesses and evidence, I’m calling the police.”

“You deserve to die!”

Zhong Cuilin, her face twisted and her hair disheveled, lunged at Su Meng with bloodshot eyes, trying to snatch the syringe.

There was still a trace of pink liquid left in the syringe. If she could destroy it, she wouldn’t have to worry.

With that thought, Zhong Cuilin grew even more frantic, desperately trying to grab it.

Huo Zhenhua stepped sideways, standing like a towering mountain in front of Su Meng, and shouted, “Stop!”

Zhong Cuilin froze, staring blankly at Huo Zhenhua. Then, catching sight of the exposed syringe, she went wild again, “Xiao Rou, hurry! Help me grab it back.”

Huo Zhenhua snorted coldly, “Accomplices go to jail too.”

Zhong Wanrou, recalling how Zhong Cuilin had heartlessly abandoned her in her past life, leading to her being toyed with and killed, wished she could kill them with her own hands.

Why would she help?

Shen Wuyang glanced at the man in military uniform, his eyes darting around, then slapped Zhong Cuilin so hard she spun around, “Didn’t you say you were bringing a doctor to treat Xiao Meng?

Why did you bring a lunatic instead? Get him out of here now.”

He wanted to downplay the situation, shifting all the blame onto the mentally ill person.

Then turn a big issue into a small one, and a small issue into nothing.

Su Meng sneered, “This Doctor Zheng Yunting is no lunatic. He’s a cardiothoracic surgeon from the Third Hospital. So, I’m calling the police. Not only to accuse Zhong Cuilin and Zheng Yunting of colluding to attempt murder, but also-”

“We also want to sue the three courts for poor judgment and employing a murderer!”

“No!”

“Absolutely not!”

Shen Wuyang and Zhong Cuilin spoke in unison.

Currently, the domestic situation was growing increasingly tense, and within the city, there was an atmosphere of fear and suspicion.

Many families of similar status to the Su family, afraid of having their capitalist tendencies purged, were quietly transferring assets and fleeing the country with their entire households.

Shen Wuyang had also caught wind of this.

He and Zhong Cuilin had already sent a batch of supplies to Guangzhou and arranged for a boat to depart for Guangzhou in five days.

Originally, they had planned to take advantage of Su Meng’s happiness on her 18th birthday to coax her into retrieving the safe deposit box her mother had left at the bank.

But Su Meng remained unmoved.

So, Zhong Cuilin devised a scheme: she drugged the lowly soldier Huo Zhenhua and sent him into Su Meng’s room.

This would not only threaten Su Meng into retrieving the safe deposit box, thereby uncovering the wealth accumulated by six generations of the Su family, but also rid them of Su Meng by forcing her to marry a peasant. She would then spend the rest of her life toiling in the fields like an old ox, trapped in hardship and poverty.

Every member of the Su family deserved nothing but a miserable fate.

This was what they owed her.

But man proposes, God disposes!

Zhong Cuilin had timed it perfectly, bringing people to Su Meng’s room only to find it empty.

Instead, she was caught off guard by Su Meng, her plan backfiring spectacularly.

Humiliated and enraged, her anger fueled a surge of malice. She decided to go all the way and simply poison Su Meng to death.

After all, everyone in the Su family wished for Su Meng’s death.

No one would stand against her.

The second branch of the family had long coveted the Su Mansion, so she used it as bait. Even a fool could see they would willingly keep the secret.

However, Zhong Cuilin had miscalculated Huo Zhenhua and overlooked the usually submissive Su Meng.

She…
