"I'll leave this to you first. I'll go take a look with Butler Chen."

Jiang Xue frowned, thinking that this matter might not be simple, so she decided to go and check the situation out herself.

"I'll send someone to go with you to take a look." Zhou Yisheng said to Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue shook her head gently and said, "It's okay. I'll go check it out myself."

"Okay..." Zhou Yisheng hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

Jiang Xue turned and left, taking Chen Yuxi and Butler Chen with her on the road to their destination.

On the way back to Yunwu Town, Jiang Xue's thoughts were like entangled vines, unable to break free.

When her figure finally appeared at the entrance of Yunwu Town, the originally peaceful town seemed to be stirred by an invisible force.

People's eyes were focused on her, with mixed emotions and whispers.

"Look, that's Jiang Xue, the woman the city people call 'sucking human blood for business.'" A voice sounded quietly in the crowd, like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples.

"Yeah, how dare she come out? I heard that her business is all about fraud and deception, and many people have suffered." Another person took over the conversation, his tone full of anger and dissatisfaction.

Jiang Xue listened to the discussions silently, without any emotion in her heart.

She understood that these people had a deep misunderstanding of her, but she didn't want to explain anything.

She believes that time will prove everything, and as long as she sticks to her beliefs, she will be recognized by everyone one day.

Jiang Xue took a deep breath and continued walking towards the town center.

"What a female bully! She's a real local scourge to our town!" Someone else echoed in a loud voice, full of resentment and condemnation towards Jiang Xue.

These words were like extremely sharp knives, ruthlessly piercing into the depths of Jiang Xue's soft heart.

Jiang Xue stared at the middle-aged woman who threw vegetable leaves at her, her eyes revealing a trace of confusion and deep doubt. She raised her voice and asked loudly: "What on earth are you doing? What did I do wrong to make you so angry?"

"You vampire! Damn local bully!" the woman yelled in anger, "Go back to where you belong and don't come out to harm innocent people again!" Her roar echoed in the empty streets, attracting more and more curious onlookers to stop and watch.

"It's all because of you. Now I can't even sell my vegetables. It's all because of you!" The vegetable vendor on the street was extremely emotional. Her originally pretty face was now filled with hatred for Jiang Xue.

In the crowd, a middle-aged woman pointed at Jiang Xue and said in a sharp and piercing voice: "You are such a young girl, but you have grown your business so big in less than a year. You are either sucking the blood of our people or using some dirty tricks. Bah! Shameless!"

Her words swept through like a gust of wind, instantly igniting the emotions of the onlookers. They echoed her words one after another, accusing and scolding her, interweaving into a noisy and harsh sound wave.

"That's right! How could this little vixen, an unmarried girl, run such a prosperous business!" Someone said sarcastically, with an indescribable ambiguity in the tone, as if implying that there were some unknown secrets hidden behind Jiang Xue.

As time went by, more and more people gathered around. They seemed to have found a common vent and threw the rotten vegetable leaves and fruits in their hands at Jiang Xue without mercy.

Jiang Xue was trapped in the center of the crowd. Her petite body seemed so helpless that she could only silently endure this sudden attack.

Her eyes were lost and confused, with endless grievance and confusion flashing in them. "I haven't done anything to let you down! I built my business entirely through my own hard work and ability!"

Jiang Xue shouted as loudly as she could, trying to clear herself of the injustice. However, her voice was like a stone sinking into the sea, and was quickly drowned out by the noise of the crowd.

Seeing wave after wave of attacks coming at her like a surging tide, Jiang Xue's heart was filled with deep helplessness and anger.

An egg flew towards her head at an astonishing speed, hitting the target like a cannonball.

In an instant, the eggshell broke, and the yolk and egg white poured out like a waterfall, sliding down her forehead, forming a strange and disgusting mark.

The sticky, fishy feeling made her stomach churn and she almost vomited.

She instinctively reached out and tried to wipe the egg liquid off her face, but this action only made her hands, face and body covered with sticky liquid, making her look even more miserable.

The strong smell filled the air, making it difficult for her to breathe and almost suffocating. Her eyes gradually turned red, tears rolled in the corners of her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall. She clenched her teeth tightly, her heart filled with indomitable and angry.

"Look, she's scared! She doesn't even dare to speak!" Seeing this, the crowd mistakenly thought that she was weak and could be bullied, so their attacks became more and more wanton.

What’s even more abominable is that some young and ignorant children actually joined in this senseless violence.

They picked up stones from the ground and threw them at Jiang Xue with all their strength. The stones hit her body with heavy thuds, and each hit brought bursts of stinging pain.

"Ah!" Jiang Xue suddenly screamed, and saw the flying leaves coming towards her like raindrops, making it almost impossible for her to open her eyes, not to mention the stones mixed in them. These things came overwhelmingly, leaving her with no escape.

"Are you sick? Why are you hitting me?" Jiang Xue finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted with all her strength. She really couldn't understand why she became the target of everyone's attack. However, her voice was instantly drowned out by the noisy voices around her, and no one cared about what she said.

Every time she tried to explain, a bunch of rotten vegetable leaves would be forced into her mouth, choking her so much that she could hardly breathe, let alone express herself clearly.

"Hey! Don't go too far. What did I do wrong to deserve you to treat me like this!" She yelled again, hoping to attract their attention. However, her weak voice seemed so pale and powerless in the chaotic crowd.

"Stop hitting me. If you continue I won't be polite..." Facing the endless attacks, Jiang Xue could only protect her face with her arms and lowered her head to warn.
