Rebirth: Once Again With You

Li Chunhua cringed at the sound of the rusty door being opened. She looked inside the room and found a medium-size office.

There was a working desk and chair behind it, with a pile of documents on top of the desk. Aside from that, the couch looked old and shabby, and empty cup noodles scattered haphazardly on top of the table. Looking at the flies hovered around it, she suspected the trash had been there for some time. There was a glass fridge on the corner of the room with lots of alcohol and beer in it.

"Get in." The burly man said to her. As soon as they arrived in this place, the man called upon his follower, and now there are four other men aside from the burly man and Li Chunhua.

She knew following this man was very risky. However, she had faith in Meng Renshu. If she could stall for time until he came to find her, everything would be okay.

Li Chunhua took a deep breath and stepped into the room. The room reeked of alcohol, and there was also this weird smell, like a combination of men's odor and vomit. The pungent smell immediately assaulted her nose, and she frowned in disgust. She stared at the couch suspiciously, thinking that she didn't want to sit on that couch ever.

"Aren't you going to sit?" The burly man asked while making himself comfortable on the couch.

"I'm fine standing here. Thank you."

The burly man shrugged his shoulders as he made a sign to his subordinate behind him. The subordinate handed over a piece of paper to him.

"The reason I bring you here is to talk about the damage you caused us the other day. I'm sure you haven't forgotten about it yet?"

Li Chunhua's frown deepened, and she made no move to look at the paper. She already knew it was just a scam, anyway. These people didn't look like good people at all. Anything that came out of their mouth must be lies or truth with some lies in it.

However, she had to go along with them unless she wanted to get hurt before Meng Renshu got there. Li Chunhua had an inkling of what happened here, but she followed them anyway. The less she struggles, the less possibility of them harming her.

"Are you trying to get some kind of compensation from me?"

"That's right," the man puffed out smoke from his mouth before he continued. "Didn't you say last time that your family is super strong or something? Then why don't you use your family's power to take responsibility for what you have done?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't seem to remember. Care to remind me just what kind of damage I have done to you?" Li Chunhua asked in a mocking tone.

"You are interrupting our business the other day and even calling the police under false charges. My subordinates experience a traumatic experience in jail because of you."

Li Chunhua's eyes twitched when she heard that.

'Xiaoyi, what in the world did you do?' She thought inwardly. Li Caiyi even dared to mess with these kinds of people now. How could she suddenly become so fearless after recovering from her cold?

Li Chunhua chose her words carefully before she replied sharply, "Well, you sound like a good boss, but considering how you don't look upset at all. I assume it doesn't matter to you as long as you're not the one getting caught. Using your subordinate as a stepping stone, what an excellent leader you are."

The man chuckled, "Your mouth has become spicier since the last time I saw you. Is every kid around your age always acting disrespectfully to the older people?"

"It depends on who these 'older' people are. I don't respect those who don't deserve it."

The man's smile faded as if he had lost interest in exchanging words. "It seems you still haven't fully understood this situation, so let me make this clear for you. Come here and sign this agreement. Unless you sign this agreement, don't even hope of coming out here unscathed." He smirked evilly. "My subordinate was really looking forward to playing with you last time. It's a shame we couldn't do that the other day."

Li Chunhua could feel her blood pressure rise when she heard that. She wasn't a naïve young girl who didn't know what 'play' meant for these people. These nasty people, they'd better not do anything to her sister!

She gritted her teeth hard, trying to hold herself back from lashing out. They could never find out that she wasn't Li Caiyi, or who knows what kind of threat they could pose to her sister. Thinking back, it was kind of lucky Li Chunhua was the one who wandered around the alley behind the school today. If it were Li Caiyi, she would get caught immediately and even get hurt from resisting recklessly.

Li Chunhua narrowed her eyes and stared coldly at those men standing behind their boss with a lecherous smile eyeing her body. A sense of disgust bubbled inside her, and she just wanted to poke their eyes with her fingers. However, when she thought that these men also leered at Li Caiyi with the same perverted gaze, she wanted to gouge their eyes out.

After making up her mind, Li Chunhua sat on the couch and snatched the paper from the table. The bossman grinned widely at her, revealing golden teeth hidden inside his mouth.

Li Chunhua scanned the document in her hand with lightning speed.

The content used many roundabout words, but the summary was simple: she had to pay a hefty sum as compensation for the bossman's loss, which Li Chunhua didn't know the details of.

She assumed that these guys probably harassed Li Caiyi first, forcing her to report them to the police. Now, they wanted to get back at her.

The sum of money was quite a lot. Li Chunhua had some savings, and she could always sell her expensive jewelry or dresses, but she wasn't sure if even that was enough to cover it. The quickest way to settle this matter was to pay with money. If she didn't pay, these people might look for Li Caiyi again in the future.

Agreeing with these low and revolting people made her irritated, but there was no way around it. As long as she signed this agreement, they would only have business with her and not bother her sister anymore.

"According to this agreement, you will stop bothering me for good if I pay you the money. You'd better keep that promise, or you will see your subordinate in jail sooner than you thought." Li Chunhua glared resentfully.

The bossman laughed hard in amusement. "What a fiery young woman. It's a shame you are too young, or I will take you for myself!"

"Disgusting." Li Chunhua squinted her eyes and looked at him as if he was the most abominable creature on the earth.

"Kekeke. If you have grown up and have nowhere else to go, you can go to my place anytime."

Li Chunhua rolled her eyes and ignored his words. She stared down at the agreement once again before picking up the pen. She would make sure Li Caiyi would never meet these people again in her whole life.

"HEY! STOP THERE!"

There was suddenly a loud yell coming from the outside. Li Chunhua glanced at the door with a hopeful look.

'Did Brother Renshu finally come here with some help?'

In the next second, the door was forced open with a bang.
