Chapter 167: Dragon's Lair and Tiger's Den

　　Zhu Xiangfeng had never been so embarrassed. He started to become rich in 1983 in his previous life. Since then, he had no shortage of money to spend. Similarly, he had no shortage of women.

　　It was true that Xu Aixin was his wife, and it was true that he relied on and trusted her, but a successful man could not have only one woman. In places that Xu Aixin didn't know, he had always had many women.

　　It's a pity that the investment failed later and Xu Aixin lost her foresight and vision.

　　He had no money, and the women who had been with him no longer wanted to follow him, so he was left without women.

　　Later, he owed too much debt. He didn't want to pay it back, and he couldn't accept his failure, so he jumped from a tall building. In the end, when he opened his eyes, he found that he was back in the dormitory of his student days.

　　Zhu Xiangfeng was overjoyed that he could start his life over again. He vowed that he would live a good life. As for Xu Aixin, he would never marry her again. He couldn't just keep doing the same thing as before if he could start his life over again.

　　Which man who got promoted and became rich didn't change his wife? He was reborn, so what's the point of rebirth if he didn't change his wife?

　　Moreover, the capital is full of talented people and there is never a shortage of beautiful women, and all of them are very promising. For example, Cheng Linfang, who just sat next to him, was a famous iron lady in the business world in her previous life! When he was forced to jump off the building, he still looked for Cheng Linfang, but unfortunately he didn't even see Cheng Linfang, and she didn't care about their friendship from the same school at all.

　　When Zhu Xiangfeng saw her at first sight after his rebirth, he secretly hated her but also wanted to take her into his harem. In this way, Cheng Linfang would become his military advisor like Xu Aixin.

　　Isn't there a saying that goes, behind every successful man, there must be a woman who silently supports him? He is so successful, so it's not a big deal if he has a few more women supporting him.

　　However, Zhu Xiangfeng never expected that he would be scolded by Jiang Youtao before his journey to the harem even began, and now he was beaten by Fu Shaohua.

　　Fu Shaohua snorted and let go of Zhu Xiangfeng: "Keep your eyes clear. If you look at my girlfriend like this again next time, you will get more than a beating."

　　Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhu Xiangfeng could no longer stay here, no matter how thick-skinned he was. He fled in panic.

　　A few girls watched him run out, pouted, and called him a jerk.

　　After he left, Fu Shaohua looked at Jiang Youtao and said, "Zhu Xiangfeng didn't have this problem before. He looked quite decent, otherwise I wouldn't have brought her to meet you. Who would have thought he was such a person? He's like a completely different person."

　　Having lived in the same dormitory for more than half a year, Fu Shaohua really didn't know Zhu Xiangfeng was so wretched. He was in the philosophy department, and he was very hardworking and a nice person. He got along well with everyone in the dormitory, otherwise Fu Shaohua wouldn't have called him in when he saw him at the door.

　　Jiang Youtao patted his hands and said, "Don't worry about him. Eat the ice cream. Eat the ice cream. It will melt if you don't eat it now."

　　The milk ice cream of this era has a particularly strong milky flavor and a crunchy texture. It is especially refreshing to eat in the summer.

　　In the library, quiet is needed, so no one said anything. After eating the ice cream, everyone opened their books and started studying.

　　Jiang Youtao opened the small world panel and looked at a small book behind the book in the main world No. 18. The cover of the book was a man standing in the wind under the blue sky and white clouds.

　　Jiang Youtao clicked in to read. This is a stud novel.

　　Zhu Xiangfeng was forced to jump off a building by debt collectors, and was reborn in 1878. This time, God favored him especially. He had the experience of his previous life, his career was prosperous, and emotionally, women who admired him came one after another.

　　There are innocent female students in school, mature beauties, rich girls, and pretty and hardworking farm girls.

　　These women knew of each other's existence, but they still wanted to be with Zhu Xiangfeng and live in peace with him. Not only that, after another woman gave birth, these women would actually take care of that woman's children without batting an eyelid, and the family lived in harmony.

　　The heroine Xu Aixin is also a member of the hero's harem. The same is true for Cheng Linfang.

　　Jiang Youtao was about to vomit before she finished reading a book.

　　There was a time when stallion literature was all the rage in the novel world, and although Jiang Youtao had never read any of them, she had heard of their contents.

　　After reading it today, Jiang Youtao found that this novel is indeed as disgusting as she imagined.

　　How many dishes did the author of this kind of novel eat and how many glasses of wine did he drink? How could he write such a dramatic novel?

　　As long as people are human, there will be struggles. It doesn't make sense that the male protagonist's harem is so generous, right?

　　Even if we take a step back, except for Xu Aixin, who is just there to make up the number, the other women in this book are either capable or have good family backgrounds, and each has their own distinctive looks.

　　Zhu Xiangfeng is good-looking, but that's just good-looking. There are many men in the world who are better looking, more capable, and more talented than him.

　　If these women were not influenced by the consciousness of the wild little world of No. 18, would they be willing to be with such a man? And for the love of this man, would they live in peace with other women? You can just dream on.

　　Even sisters in the same family can stab each other in the back. Aren't the reborn fake Xu Aixin and her sister the best example?

　　The main world No. 18 is disgusting enough, and this derived small world No. 18 is even more smelly.

　　[ Why did the No. 18 small world create a derivative small world? ] Jiang Youtao asked the melon-eating system.

　　Melon-eating system: [ To save itself. ]

　　Jiang Youtao's disgust for Little World No. 18 reached a new level: [ It's actually for saving itself, but Little World No. 18 is really vile and vicious. ]

　　Jiang Youtao has also encountered small worlds that are also trying to save themselves, such as the small world of No. 8 He Shuli. That small world is so wonderful. The reborn He Shuli is a good person in every sense of the word.

　　What about number 18? It also has the number 8. What kind of things does it make people reborn?

　　[ I'll give you two-thirds of the melon coins in my system, and you'll kill these two bastards. ]

　　In the derivative world of No. 18, Jiang Youtao did not dare to assert that Zhu Xiangfeng had other women, but she knew Cheng Linfang and could guarantee that with her personality, it was impossible for her to be another man's mistress.

　　This is the job that the melon-eating system loves to do the most, and it even doesn't ask for any reward.

　　It grunted and went towards the two small world consciousnesses of No. 18.

　　The derived small world consciousness of No. 18 is tightly attached to the small world consciousness of No. 18, and the derived small world consciousness of No. 18 is two circles smaller than No. 18.

　　The two small world consciousnesses stuck together, just like a father and his son. They looked at the melon-eating system walking towards them and trembled.

　　The melon-eating system that can beat up small worlds has now frightened many small world consciousnesses.

　　When Jiang Youtao and the others didn't know, the melon-eating system and its host became civilized in the small world circle because they could beat the consciousness of the small world.

　　No. 18 never dreamed that he would fall into the hands of the melon-eating system.

　　After studying at school for more than two hours, the canteen opened for lunch and everyone went to the canteen together.

　　When they returned to the dormitory, Xu Aixin was still sleeping soundly.

　　Everyone does different things in the dormitory.

　　Jiang Youtao went downstairs.

　　This semester, several new people came to the school security department, and Gu Hanshen and others have already left.

　　Jiang Youtao also knew the head of the Security Department, whose name was Lu Feng. Like Gu Hanshen, he was also from the Special Research Institute.

　　Jiang Youtao wrote everything about Xu Aixin and Zhu Xiangfeng in the letter.

　　Lu Feng was a soldier in his thirties. After receiving Jiang Youtao's letter, he went out of the school.

　　Opposite the Capital Square, there is a special contact point that the military has just built. Lu Feng handed the letter to the soldiers stationed there.

　　After a while, a man in black clothes came out of the contact point, walked around the vegetable market, and then went out of the city.

　　Since this matter concerns a special research institute, everyone, from the No. 1 leader to the soldiers below, feels that it cannot be too cautious when dealing with this matter.

　　Three hours later, the letter arrived in the hands of Captain Xu. After opening the letter and reading it, Captain Xu immediately sent someone to Xu Aixin's home.

　　At the same time, he reported to his superiors.

　　The college entrance examination has just been resumed, and the facilities and measures in all aspects are not yet complete. There must be many cases of impersonation like this. It would be fine if they didn't know about it, but now that they know about it, they have to check it out.

　　It would be best if no problems were found, but if any were found, this unhealthy trend must be nipped in the bud.

　　After all, the college entrance examination is so important to a country. The same is true for individuals. It can be said that if you are admitted to a university, your whole life will change.

　　The next morning, when Jiang Youtao and her classmates were starting their new semester, an inspection team dressed as soldiers entered a small town in Xun'an County, southern Henan Province.

　　After two days of haggling with local officials, the group finally arrived at their destination.

　　Huangxu Village, Hongjiang Commune, Fuping Town, Xun'an County.

　　When the team leader and the village party secretary of Huangxu Village learned that an inspection team was coming to their village, they hurried out to greet them.

　　The group was walking towards the captain's house. When they passed by Xu Aixin's house, the leading soldier asked, "This fruit tree is growing well."

　　There is a persimmon tree in front of Xu Aixin's house, and the branches are now full of heavy green fruits.

　　The team leader said quickly, "This is our Xu family. This fruit tree was planted by their eldest daughter when she was a child. It must be more than ten years old. She has taken good care of it. Her persimmon trees are the best in our village."

　　The women's director next to the team leader also said: "Her eldest daughter is the first college student in our village. The child is a good student and has a promising future. She has only been gone for a few days, and we all miss her."

　　"She is a student of Capital University." The director of women's affairs was a little proud.

　　During this period of time when they went out, everyone was asking about Xu Aixin. Even the leading cadres of the commune praised Xu Aixin when they mentioned her.

　　The soldiers who had been silent all this time looked at each other and all of them looked towards the Xu family.

　　"The capital is big, this is a good school. This student from your village is really amazing. Most people can't get into this university."

　　"That's right." The captain was also very proud.

　　Once he start talking, he can't stop.

　　After just a few words, the members of the scientific expedition team had a clear understanding of the Xu family's situation.

　　The Xu family is planning to marry off their second daughter to a man in town. Although the man doesn't have a formal job, he has a city hukou!

　　Moreover, the man is the only son in the family. The man's side said that once Xu Aiyu, the second daughter of the Xu family, marries him, she will be the head of the family.

　　As soon as she get married, she will be the head of the family. This is something many young ladies cannot wish for!

　　At this moment, who in Huangxu Village is not praising Xu Aiyu for her good fortune?

　　The scientific expedition team stayed in the wing of the captain's house. Late at night, two soldiers came out of the captain's house and went straight to the Xu family.

　　After some reconnaissance, one of them came to the firewood shed converted from a pigsty and opened the locked door.

　　He walked in quietly.

　　At the innermost part of the firewood shed, there was an open space about one meter wide covered with wheat straw, where a girl was lying with her hands and feet tied and her mouth sealed.

　　She curled up against the wall, and when she heard some movement she struggled to move her body to turn around.

　　The soldier immediately walked over to help her up, took out his ID and showed it to her, then explained in a low voice: "I am from the Chinese People's Liberation Army. You can trust me completely."

　　"Now I'm going to untie your hands and feet and tear off the cotton cloth. Please don't scream or shout, okay?"

　　The real Xu Aixin looked at the certificate for a long time and then nodded.

　　The soldier immediately put away the certificate, took the cloth stuffed in her mouth, and untied the ropes on her feet and hands.

　　A tear fell on the soldier's hand.

　　He kept moving and squatted in front of Xu Aixin: "Get on my back and I'll carry you. Of course, if you don't want to leave, I'll leave immediately."

　　Xu Aixin wiped her tears and said in a weak and dry voice: "I will go with you."

　　She lay on the soldier's back, and he carried her away from her home.

　　Before leaving, she turned and looked back at her home in the dark.

　　Xu Aixin had never hated them so much before.

　　These days, her life has changed dramatically.

　　Her twin sister seemed like a different person after waking up from a good sleep. She said she wanted to go to college and asked her to give up her place.

　　She refused, and was tied up by her parents, who were partial to her sister but were bad to her.

　　In order to prevent her from making trouble, she was left in the woodshed these days, and they announced to others that she had returned to her grandmother's house.

　　After Xu Aiyu took her place in university, they quickly found a husband for her. He was Zhang Liangyou, the brother of Zhang Liangcai, the town's film projectionist who had always been chasing after Xu Aiyu.

　　He was a lazy hooligans, a hooligans who even beat his own parents for doing something wrong.

　　Others may not know his name, but would her parents not know it? After all, Zhang Liangcai had discussed marriage with her sister Xu Aiyu, and they had gone to inquire about Zhang Liangcai's family and even cursed Zhang Liangyou when they came back!

　　In order to prevent her from escaping, she had not had a full meal for a week. Her daily meal was just a bowl of clear porridge and two slices of salty pickles.

　　She was so hungry that she felt dizzy and could not even run. Even if she moved a little, she would feel dizzy.

　　And the blackening lasted longer and longer. Many times, Xu Aixin felt that she might die in the woodshed.

　　Xu Aixin couldn't understand why her parents treated her like this. Xu Aiyu was their child, but wasn't she also?

　　Sometimes Xu Aixin thought that she might be a child adopted by the Xu family, but she looked so much like Xu Aiyu that she couldn't even deceive herself.

　　Xu Aixin also wondered if it was because her parents had no sons and she was the one to stay at home as a son-in-law to support the family, so they were extra strict with her.

　　But this time, their actions made Xu Aixin realize that they were not strict with her, they just didn't like her.

　　It's so hard to admit that her parents don't like her.

　　She was so angry that she wanted to go back and ask them face to face why they gave birth to her when they clearly didn't like her.

　　If they didn't like her so much, why didn't they strangle her to death after giving birth to her? It would be much better if they strangled her to death, or even gave her away.

　　In this way, she won't have to suffer the pain caused by her parents' favoritism over the years.

　　Those efforts to prove that girls are no worse than boys will no longer be made.

　　Over the years, in order to prove this and to reassure her parents, she has been taking care of both housework and outside the home, racing against time to study and not falling behind in work. How hard her life must have been.

　　She didn't dare to rest at all. As soon as she rested, the words that once mocked her parents for not having a son would play in her ears on a loop.

　　Xu Aixin cried silently. She knew she couldn't go back, even if she wasn't sure whether the person who rescued her was a soldier or not.

　　They saved her, and that was a favor. As for what would happen in the future, Xu Aixin didn't know, and didn't want to think about it.

　　She just wanted to escape from the Xu family so that she could take a deep breath.

　　She was tired, so tired, she had been so tired since she was five years old, without even a day's rest. She wanted to have a good rest.

　　In the days ahead, she'll take it one step at a time.

　　Even though she had just escaped from the dragon's den and entered the tiger's den, Xu Aixin accepted it.
