Green Tea Villainess Fails 37

Chapter 37

【Warning, warning, Host! I’ve detected a few cannon fodder characters who are planning to kidnap you and threaten Qin Ai.】

‘Who are they?’

【Let me see… We’ve entered a plot point, so I have access to more information now. Oh, they’re Qin Ai’s distant relatives. They’ve been colluding with the Wang family, greedily trying to extort benefits from Qin Ai. They were the reason Qin Ai was late for your shopping trip before.】

【Now they’re targeting you. They think you’re Qin Ai’s beloved woman, and that she’ll listen to them if they kidnap you.】

Zuo Bian blushed upon hearing 555 call her Qin Ai’s beloved woman. ‘That’s a bit embarrassing.’

【This is not the time to be embarrassed! They want to kidnap you!】

‘But I can knock someone out with one punch.’

555: …

【Sorry, I think I should be worried about those kidnappers now. I’ll light a candle for them in advance.】

[They’re just small fry, ribbit. Ambition level: 100, combat power: 80, intelligence: 55, action power: 1000, overall score: 5, ribbit.]

【Did I hear correctly? Their action power is over a thousand, but why is their overall score so low? Even Lin Qingqing has a score of 30!】

Little Frog croaked, [Because Xiao Bianbian’s combat power is 10000000, ribbit, so their combined score is only 5, ribbit.]

Zuo Bian couldn’t help but smile. So their combined score was only 5.

There was no need to hide. Zuo Bian asked the driver to drop her off near where those people were waiting, deliberately letting them follow her.

To make it easier to deal with them, Zuo Bian didn’t let her bodyguards follow her and even walked towards a secluded area.

It wasn’t good to fight people. If she had to fight, she had to make sure no one saw her.

‘555, is there a hidden place nearby without surveillance cameras?’ Zuo Bian strolled down the street, the five men tailing her at a distance. At first glance, it looked perfectly normal, not like they were intentionally following her.

【Detected. There’s an abandoned factory nearby. It’s currently empty, and the surveillance cameras are broken. It’s perfect for you to fight, Host.】

‘Okay, then navigate me there.’

【Sexy 555 is here to guide you. Turn left in a hundred meters. Good, after passing through this alley, you’ll see a three-way intersection. Now take the first right…】

The men following Zuo Bian noticed that she was walking faster and faster towards a more secluded area. Two of them exchanged glances, whispering, “This woman is really stupid. It seems like she realized she’s being followed, but instead of going to a crowded place, she’s going somewhere secluded.”

“The more foolish she is, the better for us.”

Zuo Bian was walking so fast that the men had to jog to keep up.

One of the men, with center-parted hair, said as he ran, “I heard this Zuo Bian is the daughter of the Zuo family.”

Another man, with a more impulsive personality, said, “I don’t care about the Zuo family. I just want to know, do you guys want money?”

“Yes!”

“Then follow me. Can’t five grown men beat one woman?”

Only two of the five men were Qin Ai’s shameless distant relatives. The other three were hired thugs. At that moment, they had no idea what kind of beating they were about to receive. They were still fantasizing about a bright future filled with extorted money.

When they saw Zuo Bian enter the abandoned factory, they were overjoyed.

“It seems like luck is on our side today. We don’t even need the chloroform.” The leader wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The man with the center-parted hair hesitated. “But don’t you find it strange? What mentally sound woman would come to a place like this after realizing she’s being followed? I have a bad feeling about this.”

The leader, Qin Da, slapped the back of the man’s head. “Qin Er, do you want the money or not? Stop whining so much. Don’t tell me you’re afraid of a woman? I can break her skinny arms and legs with one hand!”

Qin Er, rubbing his aching head, didn’t dare to speak. He silently followed the others into the abandoned factory.

The factory was eerily quiet. All they could hear was their own breathing and the occasional creaking of rusty metal under their feet. It was unsettling.

Zuo Bian, who had just entered, seemed to have vanished into thin air. The wind howled through the broken windows, sending shivers down their spines.

“Where is she?” Qin Da kicked everything in his path, scattering the rotten tables and chairs.

“I know you’re following me. I want to know why.” A woman’s voice echoed through the factory, bouncing off the walls, making it impossible to pinpoint her location.

Qin Da heard Zuo Bian’s voice and instinctively looked around, trying to find her.

“Miss Zuo, we don’t want to kidnap you. It’s Qin Ai’s fault for being so stubborn and refusing to give us money. We’re all part of the Qin family, why can’t we have some of her money? To make her yield, we had no choice but to resort to this tactic, kidnapping the woman she loves.” Qin Da spoke as he walked forward, pulling open a cabinet, but it was empty.

“Okay, I understand.” Zuo Bian crouched down, hiding a smile, then slowly emerged from a corner on the second floor.

【Host, I highly doubt you just wanted to hear him say that.】

[Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit, Xiao Bianbian is Qin Ai’s most beloved woman, ribbit! I want milk! ] Little Frog started flattering Zuo Bian again.

Zuo Bian walked onto the suspended metal walkway on the second floor, saying to Little Frog in her mind, ‘I’ll give you three bottles, any flavor you want.’

The five men downstairs finally saw Zuo Bian. They looked up, and all except Qin Er had confident smiles on their faces.

Zuo Bian had come out on her own. All they had to do was catch her.

Qin Da waved his hand. “Let’s go! Follow me upstairs!”

Qin Er reluctantly followed behind. His intuition told him they should run out of this place as fast as they could, as far away as possible, preferably to a place with surveillance cameras and people.

The moment Qin Da stepped onto the stairs, he felt a strong gust of wind and instinctively closed his eyes.

Zuo Bian, like a bird taking flight, jumped down from the four-meter-high metal walkway, landing behind the men, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The men turned around instinctively, confused as to how Zuo Bian had suddenly appeared behind them.

“Why should Qin Ai’s money be spent on you? You have perfectly good limbs, can’t you work?” As a person with a strong sense of justice, Zuo Bian highly disapproved of this kind of unearned income.

One of the men sneered and threw a punch at Zuo Bian. “Isn’t this work?”

With a crack, Zuo Bian effortlessly broke the man’s arm with one hand. She tilted her head and said, “Begging on the streets with a broken arm or leg should also earn you some money, right?”

The other men were too shocked to move. They seemed to have messed with the wrong person. Last time, Qin Da and Qin Er’s sister had hired someone to kidnap Qin Ai, and it had failed. They were still in jail. Were they going to fail again this time?

Zuo Bian tossed the man to the ground and approached the remaining men, taking one step at a time. “Do you prefer a broken arm or a broken leg? I’ll be gentle.”

She gave them a pure and innocent smile, but to them, it was terrifying.

This woman was too scary!

But the men still held onto a sliver of hope. Could they beat her if they all attacked together?

Qin Da gave them a look, and the men understood, charging at Zuo Bian simultaneously.

“Ah—”

“Ah—”

“Ah—”

Three screams rang out as Zuo Bian sent them flying with a single punch. They crashed against the wall, landing several meters away.

Just as Zuo Bian had said, she knocked them out with one punch.

Qin Er, who was trembling in fear, immediately knelt before Zuo Bian. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry! I won’t do it again!”

Zuo Bian grabbed Qin Er’s hair and gave him a Mediterranean hairstyle. “This is your punishment. As a healthy adult, if you want money, you should earn it through your own labor, not through these shady means.”

The man whose arm had been broken tried to attack Zuo Bian from behind, but she seemed to have eyes on the back of her head and punched him before he could even get close. The man opened his mouth, and a few broken teeth fell out.

“Ughhhhhhh—ah—!”

Qin Da and the others, who had just entertained the thought of fighting back, gave up completely and agreed with Zuo Bian’s words, their faces covered in dirt.

“You’re right, Boss.”

Zuo Bian corrected him. “Don’t use such gangster terms. You should call me Miss Zuo. I see that you’re all physically fit. There are many suitable jobs for you in society…”

Then Zuo Bian launched into a long lecture, trying to use her words (and fists) to inspire them to reform and become upstanding citizens.

The five men didn’t care what Zuo Bian was saying. They nodded along to everything she said.

When Zuo Bian got tired of talking, she took out a drink from her bag. At that moment, she heard 555 say, 【It was Qin Da and Qin Er’s sister who instructed someone to attack Qin Ai at the parking lot last time. Although they failed both times, their persistence is truly touching. I’m so moved that I want to send them to jail.】

Zuo Bian pondered for a moment and made a phone call. The men watched her nervously, afraid that she would call the police. They all had criminal records and were terrified of the police.

“Hello, Brother, can you help me deal with a few people?” Zuo Bian paused for a moment. “These people tried to kidnap me, but I taught them a little lesson. I want to invite them to live in prison.”

Zuo Yuan on the other end of the line: “Xiao Bian, are you alright? You should have called me immediately! Don’t worry, I’ll make sure those who dared to hurt my sister know why flowers are so red!”

Man A, who had been “slightly” taught a lesson, had a broken arm and five broken teeth. Man B had three broken ribs and two black eyes. Man C had both arms dislocated and extensive abrasions on his back. Qin Da had a sprained waist, a broken leg, and two slap marks on his face.

The least injured was Qin Er, who had only lost his hair. Zuo Bian had even kindly left a circle of hair around the sides, giving the young Qin Er some dignity.

In fact, having a circle of hair left was even uglier than being completely bald! Qin Er covered his face and cried, regretting not stopping his brother sooner.

For Zuo Yuan, it was a piece of cake to send these men with criminal records to jail. He arrived with the police.

Although the five men were seriously injured, it was ultimately ruled that Zuo Bian acted in self-defense. They were sent to prison for their previous crimes.

As they were being escorted into the police car, Zuo Bian waved at them with a infuriating smile. “You don’t have to worry about finding a job in prison! And there’s no need to spend money either. Stop thinking about extorting money from Qin Ai!”
