46: She is a master at manipulating people's hearts!

Meng Suisui and Meng Qibao watched, dumbfounded.

They stared at the spoils Bai Wanning had “confiscated” from the thugs, then watched her stuff jade pendants and gold rings into her pockets. She even went so far as to knock out one of the thugs’ gold teeth!

They were speechless.

Only Meng Anzhi remained unconvinced. She stared at Bai Wanning, who was still stuffing money, and sneered, “I’ve recorded everything. Just wait, I’ll post it on social media.”

Meng Anzhi was certain that as soon as the video was released, Bai Wanning would be finished.

But before she could finish speaking, Bai Wanning, who was bending down to pick up the last gold necklace, suddenly looked up.

Only then did Meng Anzhi realize something was wrong, and she hastily turned to flee.

But how could she outrun Bai Wanning? In less than three seconds, Bai Wanning caught her.

In another five seconds, Bai Wanning snatched her phone and directly deleted the video.

With that, Bai Wanning pushed away Meng Anzhi, who was still hitting her, and threw the phone at her face.

“You’re going too far!” Meng Anzhi rubbed her wrist, touched her swollen face, and gritted her teeth in anger, threatening, “What you’re doing is illegal! You can’t just hit people; I’m going to sue you!”

“Then sue me,” Bai Wanning retorted without backing down, her eyebrow slightly raised, a cold sneer on her face. “But if you sue me, I’ll sue you too. Even if I’m an eighteenth-tier actress on the fringes of the industry, I’m still not a public figure. You secretly filmed me and then used the video to threaten me. I have every right to sue you.”

“I absolutely did not threaten you…” At most, I just wanted to expose you.

“Where’s the evidence?” Bai Wanning’s smile didn’t falter, her tone sarcastic.

Meng Anzhi was so angry she wanted to slap the smile off Bai Wanning’s face, but she knew in her heart that she couldn’t produce any evidence.

However, seeing Bai Wanning single-handedly take down a group of thugs, Meng Anzhi felt intimidated. Her own strength was not even half of those thugs. If Bai Wanning hit her, lying in the hospital for half a month would be a light outcome.

Meng Suisui also sensed the tense atmosphere. Although she was displeased that Meng Anzhi had brought people to cause trouble for her and Qibao, Meng Anzhi was her cousin after all, and she couldn't just watch her get beaten.

She said to Meng Anzhi, “You go wait in the car first.”

Now that the thugs were dealt with, Meng Anzhi was no longer in danger.

Hearing Meng Suisui speak up for her, Meng Anzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, but remembering the humiliation she had just faced, she turned to Meng Qibao and said in a cold tone, “Qibao, let’s go.”

Meng Qibao actually didn't want to leave with Meng Anzhi, but under his sister's angry glare, he could only reluctantly follow her towards the parking lot.

After they left, Meng Suisui turned to Bai Wanning and asked with concern, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine,” Bai Wanning said, taking off the brass knuckles from her hand and putting them back into her jacket pocket.

Ignoring Meng Suisui’s frown at the blood on her hands and clothes, she then asked, “How is Chen Xiaoya?”

“She’s fine.” Meng Suisui recalled Chen Xiaoya running to the prison every day to visit Su Hu and Bai Xue. Although she always claimed to be injured and still recovering, Meng Suisui knew that those minor injuries had long since healed.

“Is that so?” Bai Wanning pouted slightly. In a few days, this city would be plunged into complete chaos, and she had no intention of letting Chen Xiaoya hide in the hospital and live a peaceful life.

Thinking of this, her mood lightened a little, and she asked with a smile, “Is she still bringing them food?”

“Yes, yes! But how did you know?”

How did she know? Hehe, it was all taught to her by her experiences in her previous life.

Bai Xue was Bai Qingshi's daughter, and she also had half the blood of a woman like Chu Xia. She was naturally skilled at manipulation and brainwashing, even more so than Bai Qingshi.

She instilled those lies about being “closer than sisters” into Chen Xiaoya, making Chen Xiaoya devotedly care for Su Hu, even believing that one day Su Hu would become her brother-in-law.

That foolish woman didn't understand that the reason she was so good to Su Hu was simply because she had fallen in love with him.

Bai Xue, truly formidable!

In the past, every time Bai Wanning saw Chen Xiaoya feigning obedience and trying to please Bai Xue, she couldn't help but sneer.

She had given away those resources little by little, all of them falling into Bai Xue's hands. Chen Xiaoya never realized that in Bai Xue's eyes, she was no nobler than Bai Wanning.

If Bai Xue truly considered her a close person, why would she watch her sell her body while she herself remained pure, enjoying the protection of men?

“What are you thinking about?” Meng Suisui noticed Bai Wanning’s strange expression and couldn’t help but ask, “You look… quite happy, but Chen Xiaoya bringing food to Bai Xue and Su Hu, shouldn’t you be angry?”

“Nothing.” Bai Wanning collected her thoughts, a faint smile gracing her lips. She was indeed very happy, so happy that she even hoped Chen Xiaoya would bring more food to Bai Xue and Su Hu.

If she hadn’t used everything she bought on those two, how could she have seen Chen Xiaoya’s pathetic and laughable appearance?

She glanced at Meng Suisui, remembering how this woman had helped her block an attack earlier, allowing her to escape in the chaos.

Bai Wanning always repaid favors and grievances clearly, so she kindly reminded her, “Try to stock up on more food these next few days. Also, keep a close eye on your foolish cousin; don’t let her take advantage.”

Her tone shifted, suddenly becoming stern: “Otherwise, you’ll be the one regretting it in the future.”

“Miss Bai, do you know…” Meng Suisui hesitated. Although she was unwilling to believe that the world would suddenly change, this rain had felt off from the very beginning!

Bai Wanning didn't explain, only gave her a meaningful look, then turned and left.

Meng Suisui stood rooted to the spot, watching Bai Wanning’s retreating figure.

That slender figure seemed a little frail, but somehow, after talking to her, the anxiety in her heart had quietly subsided a lot.

Although she still had doubts, her intuition told her… Bai Wanning would not harm her.

This woman might be dangerous, but she had never shown hostility towards her. Bai Wanning clearly had the ability to escape alone, yet she still saved the siblings. This thoughtfulness alone spoke volumes… Bai Wanning returned home after buying things. As soon as she entered the door, she saw her second brother staring at her with an angry expression.

“What’s wrong?” She took off her shoes, walked into the house, and asked calmly.

“Wanning, you’re back?” Mother Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her daughter.

“Nothing,” she said, glancing at her son with a hint of helplessness in her eyes.

Bai Zhan’s face was somewhat contorted with anger. He suppressed his temper and said, “Just now, I saw Xiao Qian return and wanted to talk to him, but Lei Qian’s assistant stopped me. The assistant said Xiao Qian was seriously injured.”

Upon hearing “Lei Qian was seriously injured,” Bai Wanning frowned slightly.

She wasn't surprised. Knowing Lei Qian, if he wanted to leave Y City, he would inevitably have to break through many checkpoints… His injury was inevitable.

But even so, Bai Wanning still admired Lei Qian. In just a few hours, he was able to fight his way back. It was no wonder such a person could become the strongest Ability User in the Apocalypse in her previous life.
