When a Blade of Grass Wants to Become Immortal

Chapter 85: Chapter 84: The Overbearing CEO’s Little Wildcat 25 (Finale)

”Madam, Wang Zheng has gone abroad.”

Qin Fang handed several reports to Ji Xiaosong.

After reading them, Ji Xiaosong was speechless for a moment.

”So, Wang Zheng got a scam call about a high-paying job abroad, followed them to a transit country, and then was taken by boat to an online scam compound?”

”Yes. I also have some videos of Wang Zheng. Would you like to take a look, Madam?”

Ji Xiaosong nodded and took the tablet.

On the screen, Wang Zheng was in a Water Prison, his limbs tightly bound with iron chains. His head hung low as a group of people stood by, jeering at him.

”I heard he’s the Liu Family’s live-in son-in-law. If we’ve kidnapped him, won’t the Liu Family come after us?”

”What’s there to be afraid of? I spent almost half a month chatting with him before I reeled him in. That young lady from the Liu Family never even got a marriage certificate with him. The Lius pay for everything he eats and drinks; he has no money of his own. If it weren’t for that, how could he have believed a story about a high-paying job overseas and run off with me?”

”How did you trick him with the high-paying job story in the first place?”

”I posed as a legitimate headhunter and posted a listing on a recruitment platform, and he just happened to submit his resume. When he actually showed up for an interview, I told him he was hired. Monthly salary of tens of thousands, maybe even more, plus generous benefits like room and board and project bonuses.”

”And he just believed you?”

”Of course he did. After he’d been ’working’ for a few days, I organized a team-building trip to Country T for this group. Once everyone arrived, I arranged a ’water activity,’ and we just brought the whole boatload over. It was so easy. How could any of them have been on their guard?”

”Our main goal in bringing him here is to get money out of his family. Making him work like an animal is secondary. Do you think we can squeeze some money out of the Liu Family?”

”It doesn’t matter if we can trick them or not. If we can’t, we’ll just extort it. If neither the Wang Family nor the Liu Family pays up, we’ll just sell him. The Liu Family has kept him pampered all these years, so he’s pretty soft. His organs must be in great condition. He’s exactly the kind of ’piglet’ everyone’s fighting over.”

”Bro, you’re really experienced. I’ll stick with you. What now?”

”Film some videos of us torturing him. Then, send them to the Liu Family and the Wang Family and tell them to pay the ransom.”

As the two discussed this, Wang Zheng struggled to lift his head, his eyes wide with terror.

Before he could open his mouth to speak, a whip cracked down on him.

His agonized screams echoed for a while. When it looked like he couldn’t take any more, they stopped.

”Come on, talk to your kid’s mother. Tell her to send the money. One million. Not a penny less.”

Wang Zheng was now sobbing uncontrollably. He faced the camera and began to speak. ”Wanru, save me! Wanru, I’m our child’s father! I’ve taken good care of him these past two years. Even if I haven’t done anything outstanding, I’ve still put in the hard work!”

Liu Wanru’s disgusted voice came from the phone. ”Who is this beggar, pretending to be Wang Zheng?”

”Wanru, it really is me, Wang Zheng! Please, give them the million. If you just pay them, I can come back alive.”

”Heh. A million? In your dreams.”

”Wanru, I’m begging you! A million is just the price of one of your bottles of wine! Please, save me! Our child can’t grow up without a father!”

”You’re not as good at taking care of the child as a professional nanny, and as a father, you’re no role model. What use are you to me? Seeing you like this, you’ve most likely been scammed and sent abroad. Who can you blame for being so stupid?”

Before he could say another word, Liu Wanru hung up.

The two men who had been wielding the whips then called the Wang Family. Mrs. Wang answered. The moment she saw Wang Zheng’s state, she burst into tears.

”Oh, Zheng! How did you end up like this?”

”Mom, please, help me think of something! They want money! They’ll let me go if you just pay them! Mom, it hurts so much here, it really hurts so much! Mom, save me!”

”Zheng, how much money do they want? Mom will pay, I’ll pay right away!”

”A million, Mom! They want a million!”

At the mention of that amount, Wang Zheng burst into tears again.

He knew full well his parents couldn’t afford it, but he was truly out of options.

”Zheng... Mom... can’t afford that.”

The man standing beside him sneered when he heard this. ”Can’t afford it? Heh. Then pay in installments. Send over three hundred thousand first, and he can leave the Water Prison.”

”Mom, did you hear that? Just get three hundred thousand! If you give them three hundred thousand, I won’t be in so much pain!”

As if he’d found a ray of hope, Wang Zheng kept begging Mrs. Wang.

”I’ll figure something out right away! Just don’t hurt him!”

Mrs. Wang sounded like she was about to choke on her sobs before she finally hung up.

Ji Xiaosong had seen enough and had no intention of watching any further.

She could already guess the outcome. How could anyone who ended up in a place like that possibly escape?

Even if they got out by some stroke of luck, they would have been bled dry.

”Put the tablet away. Wang Zheng won’t live for more than a few days. Just let me know when he’s dead.”

”Yes, Madam.”

Now, only Liu Wanru was left.

In her previous life, the original owner of this body’s death was disguised as a suicide. Without Liu Wanru’s help, Wang Zheng would never have succeeded so easily.

A few days later, Qin Fang brought news about Wang Zheng.

The crematorium had already processed Wang Zheng’s body. Mrs. Wang had borrowed three hundred thousand from everyone she could and sent the money, only to receive an urn of Wang Zheng’s ashes in return.

The moment she received the urn, Mrs. Wang fainted.

Ji Xiaosong kept a close watch on Liu Wanru. After giving birth to her own quadruplets, she found an opportunity and prepared to deal with Liu Wanru.

’My body feels so much lighter now that the babies are born.’

Liu Wanru loved to party and was always jetting around, both at home and abroad.

To avoid leaving any evidence, Ji Xiaosong waited until Liu Wanru went abroad again to meet up with some young starlet, then followed her, riding on Rongrong.

The flight from her country to the other took only an hour.

At this moment, Liu Wanru was lying in bed in her large villa.

”Song, what’s your plan? I’ve checked. There are security cameras around the villa, but none in the bedroom.”

”I’ll see if I can find a medicine cabinet in her bedroom. In my last life, she made my predecessor die by ’suicide.’ In this life, she can have a taste of her own medicine.”

Ji Xiaosong scanned the area with her Divine Sense and finally located the medicine cabinet inside a bedroom closet.

As someone with medical training, she knew better than anyone which combination of drugs would cause a quiet, traceless death.

Using her Spiritual Power, she remotely administered the drugs into Liu Wanru’s stomach. In less than ten minutes, the medication began to take effect.

Ji Xiaosong set up a Barrier to ensure Liu Wanru couldn’t use her phone or contact the outside world.

A few minutes later, Liu Wanru’s face turned ashen, and she fell silent.

”Let’s go. Time to go home.”

Ji Xiaosong lived in the penthouse of the tallest building in Qingming City.

Since the top of the building was the highest point in the city, Lu Youheng hadn’t installed any security cameras.

This gave Ji Xiaosong the perfect opportunity. She could leave and return, completely undetected.

In the years that followed, Ji Xiaosong’s seven children all grew up to become leaders in their respective fields.

The triplets all achieved their goals. Among the quadruplets, there were two sons and two daughters.

Fourth Lu became a painter.

Lu the Fifth became the first author to win the world’s most prestigious literary award.

Lu the Sixth devoted himself to the aerospace industry, making immense contributions to the nation.

And Lu the Seventh, possessing a strong sense of mission to punish the wicked, ultimately became a military officer.

Eldest Lu eventually inherited the Lu Family’s enterprise, and together, the siblings led the Lu Family to even greater heights.

Ji Xiaosong, for her part, fulfilled her wish and became a world-renowned physician.

In their later years, a white-haired Lu Youheng rested in a rocking chair, holding Ji Xiaosong’s hand, unable to bear closing his eyes.

”In the next life... can we still be together?”

”Perhaps...”

”Don’t answer.”

Afraid of an answer he didn’t want to hear, Lu Youheng stopped her, then closed his eyes.

Ji Xiaosong, lying in the rocking chair beside him, also prepared to depart.

Their wills had been drawn up long ago, and there was no question of their seven children fighting over the inheritance.

They had all turned out well. Ji Xiaosong felt there was nothing more she needed to tell them.

Just as she was about to close her eyes, Second Lu suddenly rushed over.

”Mom, this is the Universal Trading System! Take it with you!”

After speaking, he pressed a ball of light from his hand into Ji Xiaosong’s, and she closed her eyes.
