Even After My Death-Chapter 640 - 543: The Imprisoned Female College Student

The System’s urgent and icy voice echoed in Jiang Ning’s mind.

At the same time, personal information about Li Fu also surfaced in Jiang Ning’s mind.

[Name: Li Fu]

[Age: 53]

[Illegal detention, forced female college student.]

[Task Reward: Life value 10 days, Merit 50 points!]

[Task Partner Reward: Merit 5.]

This was the real person Jiang Ning had come to Anyang Town to catch.

She looked at Li Fu with cold eyes.

Unaware, Li Fu had no idea that the dark deeds he had done in secret were exposed at just one glance.

After he came out of his yard, he stood under his own wall, frowning at everyone, obviously feeling that so many people standing near his doorstep disturbed his peace.

"Li Fu, aren’t you being a bit too meddlesome?" Old Man Zhang responded.

"Exactly, we’re not even standing at your doorstep; we’re standing at Li Zhiguo’s house, does that bother you too?" Another aunt chimed in.

If someone were to ask them who the most disliked person in Li Family Village was, nine out of ten villagers would probably answer: Li Fu!

Everyone in Li Family Village shared the surname Li, descendants of three brothers. Although hundreds of years had passed, the entire village still claimed one ancestor, and most had some blood relation or familial ties.

As fellow villagers and neighbors, everyone should have been getting along amicably, helping each other out, but Li Fu was such an exception.

Any lively event in the village, Li Fu and his wife never participated.

They would avoid both funerals and weddings alike.

The couple rarely interacted with other villagers, treating even casual encounters on the road as if with a stranger, never chatting or striking up conversation.

As for asking for his help, that was even more out of the question, even lingering at his doorstep was not allowed.

The aunt who spoke up was scolded by Li Fu just a few days earlier for simply resting with her heavy load of sweet potatoes outside Li Fu’s house.

Most people in the village were simple and honest; it wasn’t unusual to invite someone inside for a drink of water, let alone resting outside someone’s house.

But Li Fu and his wife were different!

It felt as if they treated everyone like enemies!

Absolutely nonsensical.

The villagers disliked Li Fu, and naturally, no one wanted to leave now.

Seeing this, Li Fu spoke in an annoyed tone, "Is this your house? Just stand here! It’s so noisy! Move along, move along!"

"This is Zhiguo’s house! We called him! What, we can’t even stand at Zhiguo’s door now?"

"That’s right, Li Fu, you usually don’t let us near your house, but now you want to control Zhiguo’s house too?"

Everyone spoke one after another, voices tinged with discontent, as if long-standing emotions were finally erupting.

"You’re disturbing me with your noise!" Li Fu didn’t care what everyone was saying; he picked up a bamboo stick used for fencing and approached, trying to drive the people away.

The live streaming viewers who saw this began to liven up the previously quiet comment section again:

[No way, what kind of person is this??]

[??? What is this move,]

[Outrageous behavior, if this wasn’t Jiang Ning’s live stream, I’d have thought it was a scripted drama.]

[I know the world is full of all sorts, but this is just too unreasonable!]

[...]

Li Fu not only showed hostility toward other people in the village, but he also detested Li Zhiguo’s family next door; he never had a kind look for the brothers Li Hao and Li Mai, and would often regard them in private with a disdainful gaze, causing both Li Hao and Li Mai to be deeply afraid of Li Fu.

Seeing Li Fu approaching unhappily, the brothers shuddered in fear, suddenly realizing they had been standing outside the door without entering!

Li Hao reached out, plucked the twig from the latch, and pushed the courtyard door open, "Let’s go in, we should..."

Before he could finish, Li Fu had charged over, waving a bamboo pole to chase people away.

When faced with danger, avoiding it is an instinctive human response.

The villagers, originally there to watch the excitement, hadn’t expected Li Fu, who was known to be difficult, to act so crazily in front of outsiders!

Everyone instinctively scattered, retreating in panic.

The viewers in the live stream also grew worried.

Qi Xingzhou saw this scenario, his brows slightly furrowing. He stuffed his phone into his pocket and whispered quickly, "Hide yourself, I’ll stop him."

Jiang Ning remained unfazed from beginning to end, even waiting for Li Fu to make a move towards her so she could promptly pin him to the ground.

Hearing Qi Xingzhou’s words, Jiang Ning also whispered just loudly enough for the two of them to hear, "Grab him, the villain."

Qi Xingzhou paused, then nodded in understanding.

His tall figure moved swiftly, confronting Li Fu.

As Qi Xingzhou caught Li Fu’s bamboo pole barehanded, Jiang Ning was not idle.

She casually picked up a piece of firewood drying under the wall in the Li Family courtyard and started hitting Li Fu with it.

She intentionally targeted the painful pressure points, causing Li Fu to cry out in pain, "Ah!"

Yet Jiang Ning didn’t stop, pretending not to hear and continuing to strike harshly.

Li Fu was furious, glaring viciously at Jiang Ning, "You’re looking for death!"

He even ignored Qi Xingzhou, who was bothering him, tossing aside the bamboo pole Qi Xingzhou was gripping and prepared to fight Jiang Ning with bare hands.

He believed that even without the bamboo pole, he could subdue the young girl before him.

Yet... expectations are plump, reality is meager.

Scream after scream came from his mouth; not only had he failed to touch her, but he was also beaten without a chance to fight back!

The villagers, who had been retreating to avoid getting involved, were stunned by this sight.

In the live stream, the viewers, seeing only darkness on the screen and barely hearing noises, were dying of curiosity:

[What in the world is going on?!]

[It must be Jiang Ning pinning someone down and beating them! Tsk, Qi Xingzhou, what are you doing! You’re such an incompetent live stream assistant! (finger-pointing.jpg)]

[Exactly! It’s been calm the whole way, and we finally get a chance to see Jiang Ning in action, and you you you! Why won’t you take the phone out of your pocket! (accusatory gaze.jpg)]

[...]

Jiang Ning’s movement was fluid and graceful; although she was only holding an ordinary piece of firewood, she seemed like a peerless master wielding a spear, easily knocking Li Fu to the ground.

Li Hao and Li Mai, hidden behind the door, were astounded by her skill and finally realized that the videos they had seen online were real—Jiang Ning was truly formidable and never backed down in the face of adversity!

In an instant, admiration for Jiang Ning, along with the guilt of having done wrong, filled the brothers’ hearts.

"I’m wrong! I was wrong! Stop hitting, please stop!" Li Fu couldn’t help but scream, clutching his head.

Jiang Ning turned a deaf ear, continuing her strikes.

Only after Li Fu had pleaded several times did Jiang Ning put down the firewood, standing to the side, "Do you really realize your mistake?"

Li Fu, drained of energy, replied, "I know, I know."

Jiang Ning asked again, "Why didn’t you want us to stand at Li Zhiguo’s door? What does our standing at Li Zhiguo’s door have to do with you?"

The fierceness on Li Fu’s face was gone, and his tone was no longer aggressive, "There were too many of you, talking loudly, disturbing my sleep..."

Before he could finish, everyone heard a noise coming from Li Fu’s house—a weak female voice:

"Help me! Please, save me!"
