Chapter 237: She Will Definitely Take Revenge

~7 min read 1,327 words

Old Madam Jiang listened, unable to help but feel her eyes well up with tears, and she agreed repeatedly: "Good... Grandma will listen to you. Whatever you say to do, I will do. It's just that it's been so hard on your uncle... You say he has never done a single bad thing, so why would someone want to harm him!"

As the old woman spoke, her tone carried a distinct, tearful tremor.

Jiang Baobao also felt a sense of heartache, but she could only comfort her in a low voice: "Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely make the person who did this get the retribution they deserve! I will take back everything that originally belonged to our family!"

"Mm... Grandma believes in you..." Old Madam Jiang hurriedly agreed, as if she had grasped the last piece of driftwood that could save her life in the middle of a storm.

The two of them spoke for a few more moments before Jiang Baobao hung up the phone, though her mood remained somewhat heavy.

When she found out about this last night, she had been completely distraught...

People always say that if you don't do anything to feel guilty about, you don't fear a ghost knocking at your door.

But the most terrifying thing in this world is not ghosts at all, but the human hearts that want to harm others!

In Jiang Baobao's mind, the smug faces of the Lu Family couldn't help but surface, and in an instant, she clenched her palms tightly in hatred!

Xia Huiya, Lu Guohui, Lu Qing'er!

Whatever they have taken from the Jiang Family, she will make them spit it all back out!

And then pay the price they deserve!

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Baobao's eyes, and after calming herself down alone for a while, she pushed open the door and got out of the car.

At the Base.

As soon as Jiang Baobao entered the door, she went straight to the training room on the first floor.

This place was originally an open, large living room, and Jiang Baobao had specifically had it renovated into a place for the team members to train.

Jiang Baobao sat down at her own spot, wanting to make a simple training plan.

But no matter what, she couldn't calm her mind, and her head was a mess.

Suddenly—

"Boss? Why did you come so early?"

Outside the training room door, Ke Hao's voice suddenly came through.

Jiang Baobao snapped back to reality, only then seeing several team members walking over and sitting down at their respective spots.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly pulled herself together, pretending to be nonchalant as she greeted them: "I had nothing to do, so I came a bit early..."

As she spoke, she looked at a young man walking at the end of the group and took the initiative to greet him: "Mumu, you had some small issues in the matches over the last two days; I want to talk to you alone."

"Mm." The boy named Mumu responded, silently putting on his headphones, and instantly lost all sense of presence.

The others immediately showed expressions of being used to it.

Xiao Ding couldn't help but tease: "I really don't know what in this world could make our Mumu say a few more words. Even when he met the 'gold-daddy' sponsor that day, he didn't say a single word! He basically keeps his sense of presence to the absolute minimum!"

"Tsk, don't you know our Brother Mu by now? He's just naturally this calm!"

Ano took over the conversation, and everyone burst into laughter together.

Listening to the laughter in her ears, Jiang Baobao finally felt the gloom in her heart clear up quite a bit.

She forced herself to perk up, stood up, and casually grabbed her usual notebook.

"Alright, before you start training, I have something to say to you all!"

As Jiang Baobao spoke, her expression became somewhat serious.

The team members immediately reined in their laughter, nodded seriously one after another, and watched Jiang Baobao with rapt attention.

"The new season is starting soon, so I won't waste words. We must win the Preliminary Tournament."

Jiang Baobao said as she turned on the projector.

The three large characters "Dream Island" instantly appeared on the background screen of the desktop; it was the logo for this game.

This is an online game that has been on the rise in recent years.

After players choose their race and profession, they can do whatever they want in the game.

Looking at the scenery, building houses, farming and fishing, chatting, making friends, and even intense PK and dungeons—all can be realized.

Beyond that, there are 5v5 teams composed of ten major professions.

Originally just entertainment matches between players, it slowly developed into formal e-sports competitions.

And that is why there are so many teams now.

Jiang Baobao took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, and clicked twice; a video of a map with an ancient architectural style instantly appeared on the screen.

Two teams of five stood on opposite sides of the map, ready for action.

"This is the recording of the Friendly Match you played two days ago. I have already watched it several times..."

Jiang Baobao said unhurriedly and pressed the play button.

The next second, the ten game characters on the screen moved simultaneously, running toward the center of the map together.

"Look here, Mumu's initial position was too far forward..."

Jiang Baobao had already committed this match to memory, analyzing it for everyone bit by bit, and she knew every detail of the game like the back of her hand.

Half an hour later—

She had gone over almost all the small mistakes everyone had made before turning off the screen.

"Did you all remember what I just said? I know you all have a competitive spirit, but matches require strategy. If you charge too recklessly, you will only be caught by the opponent's flaws."

Jiang Baobao said as she casually turned off the computer, effectively ending today's small meeting.

Immediately after, she heard Lao K say helplessly: "Boss, don't you wish you were a man? If that were the case, we'd have one more powerful teammate..."

"You think I don't want to?" Jiang Baobao smiled, feeling somewhat helpless, and then suddenly thinking of something, she deliberately "instigated": "Come to think of it, if I really were a man, which one of you would plan to give up your spot to me?"

"Of course it would be Xiao Ding! He talks way too much on the team voice chat during every match; my ears are about to explode!"

Ano spoke up instantly, betraying his good brother without hesitation.

Xiao Ding immediately retorted, unconvinced: "You're the one who should give up your spot! You're the one who charges in recklessly every time! Ke Hao has had to save you several times, only to get controlled by the enemy!"

"Eh? Don't let your war drag me into it! I didn't say anything!"

Ke Hao immediately waved his hands and sat further away, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

Listening to this, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but shake her head with a smile; knowing that the few of them often joked like this, she couldn't be bothered to stop them.

Just as she was listening happily, she suddenly heard a "Bang!" sound from outside the door!

The training room door was not closed, and the group's attention was immediately drawn.

The next second, they saw a figure rushing in from outside in a flurry!

"Sister Xiao Tang? Is there a dog chasing you?"

Seeing Cai Xiaotang rush in panting, Xiao Ding couldn't help but tease her.

Cai Xiaotang waved her hand, and the next second, as if she had seen a life-saving straw, she grabbed Jiang Baobao's hand!

"Baobao! I knew you were here! Let's go, let's go, let's go to your room first!"
