“I have bodyguards with me. We can beat them if they come.” Yi Ke didn’t care at all. She always felt that those villagers had evil intentions but didn’t have the guts to do so.

Besides, the bodyguards she brought with her were not to be trifled with. They were all armed with electric batons, tear gas, and other weapons.

Yu Heng couldn’t take it anymore. Yi Ke was like a proud peacock. He reached out and pinched Yi Ke’s fair face.

It was soft and smooth, like a pinch of cotton.

Yi Ke was stunned. Soon, red and swollen finger marks appeared where she had been pinched. She covered her face in pain and punched Yu Heng.

“You dare to pinch me? You’re finished! Wan Shi, beat him to death!”

Yi Ke didn’t have much strength in her hands. Even if she punched Yu Heng with all her might, Yu Heng didn’t feel any pain. On the contrary, Yi Ke was hitting Yu Heng’s arm. The long period of labor had made Yu Heng’s body filled with firm muscles. This punch made Yi Ke swing her hand and cry out in pain.

Seeing her like this, Yu Heng’s mood finally improved. He smiled at Yi Ke. “I’ve wanted to deal with you for a long time!”

Wan Shi looked at the furious Eldest Miss and then at the fearless young man in front of him. He fell into deep thought.

Yu Heng was right. Just because he had no evil intentions for Yi Ke didn’t mean that the other villagers didn’t.

The small mountain village was at least 40 years behind the city. The main source of income for the villagers was farming, using their physical strength to exchange for some meager income. When most of the food needed to be sold for money, the villagers naturally left behind those inferior goods that did not look good or had other flaws.

According to Wan Shi’s observations over the past few days, most of the villagers in this place were still struggling with poverty. Most of them could only be considered ‘full’, and some of them could not even reach the standard of ‘full’.

On the other hand, Yi Ke, the young lady from the city, had brought two chefs with her. Every meal had to have meat, vegetables, and soup. The ingredients were all fresh and formed a sharp contrast with the villagers.

Moreover, his young lady had a bossy and domineering personality. She dressed up gorgeously every day, and the words “I’m very rich, come and rob me” were clearly written on her face.

Wan Shi looked at the surrounding gazes and suddenly shivered. Those gazes did not seem to be directed at humans. They were more like a pack of wolves sizing up the fat meat that was about to reach their mouths. They were greedy and cruel.

Wan Shi suddenly realized that even if they brought bodyguards and used electric batons and other self-defense items, there were only six of them. Even if two chefs were barely counted as combat power, there were only eight of them.

The villagers were still afraid of them now, but what if one day, someone really took the risk and did something? Wan Shi did not dare to imagine it.

Yi Ke didn’t seem to realize the seriousness of the problem. She was still glaring at Yu Heng angrily, occasionally shouting for Wan Shi to beat him up.

Wan Shi walked over and whispered into Yi Ke’s ear, “Miss, what he said makes sense. It’s better for us to keep a low profile when we’re outside.”

Yi Ke looked at Wan Shi in disbelief. She did not understand why the person who had always been on her side would suddenly speak up for an outsider. Yi Ke was almost dizzy with anger. She glared at Wan Shi and turned around to ignore him.

All of them were bullying her! How annoying!

Wan Shi sighed and silently brought the porridge to Yi Ke. “Missy, quickly finish your breakfast and go home. Have a good sleep. I’ll get someone to send some mosquito repellent.”

After a long time of persuasion, Yi Ke was finally willing to finish the breakfast. Wan Shi cleared the dishes and asked all the bodyguards to follow Yi Ke to ensure her safety.

Yu Heng also waited for Yu Yu, who came to deliver food. He picked up a white biscuit and said to Wan Shi as he ate, “If you still want to stay here, I suggest that you call more people over. There are more than 300 villagers in total. With just these few bodyguards, if someone really causes trouble, your little combat strength is completely insufficient. However, it’s better to leave as soon as possible. During this period of time, you should be able to see that we’re too poor here. There’s nothing fun here, no hospital and no signal. You’ve already stayed for almost a week. There’s no point in staying any longer.”

Hearing this, Wan Shi nodded. “Thank you for your reminder, Little Brother. I’ll ask for the young lady’s opinion.”

“I heard it. Wan Shi, call more people over. I don’t want to leave yet.” Yi Ke heard their conversation, but if she went back now, wouldn’t all her previous efforts be in vain?

In the future, Yi Shi would still be close to Yu Heng. It might still be the same as in her previous life.
