Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 858: Chapter 769: Dislocated Lives 57

Wen Zhijin wiped the tears from her face, her eyes coldly watching the faintly smiling face of Wen Shuangshuang being interviewed on TV. In her mind, one crazy thought after another swirled. Finally, Wen Zhijin thought of the Fang Family, her long-forgotten foster parents who had always been reluctant to let go of her as their daughter.

These past few days, Wen Shuangshuang had constantly felt her eyelids twitching, as if something bad was about to happen. Wen Shuangshuang wasn’t an ordinary person; her premonitions were alarms and would invariably come true, meaning something bad was definitely going to happen soon.

Massaging her temples, Wen Shuangshuang calculated that if she were in danger, it would surely stem from human malice. She just didn’t know exactly who wanted to harm her. If it were before, Wen Shuangshuang would have unhesitatingly said her only enemy was Wen Zhijin.

But now Wen Shuangshuang couldn’t be so sure. It wasn’t that she was conceited; it’s just that with her current status, even foreign spies were eyeing her, not to mention those who had sought to win her over and, failing that, recently began to resent her and Chengfeng Wanli Company’s rival companies.

Although Wen Shuangshuang herself made no enemies, there were indeed plenty who wanted her dead. Especially since her recent dividend came in—a whopping 1.8 billion! Many looked on with envy and pounding hearts.

The reason she could get so much money was due to the game’s ”Ascension to God” being extremely popular. As the game’s creator, Wen Shuangshuang was under constant scrutiny, and her dividend was undoubtedly the most watched.

This kind of money in Wen Shuangshuang’s hands made countless people green with envy and left others lamenting how a girl in her teens had earned so much money while they had lived as if their years had gone to the dogs.

Even the Fang Family who had always been lukewarm towards Wen Shuangshuang called several times, hinting that their current house was too old and cramped, suggesting she should buy a bigger one, with the implication that Wen Shuangshuang should pay.

Wen Shuangshuang was too lazy to haggle with the Fang Family, so she directly sent over a million. No matter how much the Fang Family nagged, she didn’t agree to give more. She didn’t like the Fang Family much, even though she didn’t care about the money for a house.

Still, Wen Shuangshuang, despite having a lot of money, didn’t want to spend it on the Fang Family. She gave them a million just to have some peace and quiet, sparing herself from their constant nagging. However, the Fang Family didn’t actually go buy a house with the money.

The main reason was that, because of Wen Shuangshuang, their neighbors all benefited from her goodwill. Every time she sent gifts, she would remind the gift-givers to tell everyone to look after her parents.

Now, with Wen Shuangshuang’s enormous energy, befriending her naturally brought many advantages. Life being long, who didn’t need a favor now and then? In anticipation of needing Wen Shuangshuang someday, people made sure to keep her in good graces. Helping take care of her parents was simple enough.

After all, the Fang Family were adults. It wasn’t like they had to constantly take care of them like infants. They just needed to keep an eye on the Fang Family, report to Wen Shuangshuang about any goings-on, and treat them with kindness when they encountered them. It wasn’t like they were treating them like emperors, so it was easy enough.

Because of this mindset, the Fang Family now enjoyed the flattery of all their neighbors, which greatly satisfied their vanity. Although the house was small, being fussed over every day made life sweet, something they wouldn’t enjoy elsewhere, hence their reluctance to move.

Aside from the burden of the Fang Family, in the two weeks since receiving her dividend, Wen Shuangshuang encountered three groups attempting to kidnap her. Though Wen Shuangshuang was now remarkably skilled, ensuring the kidnappers couldn’t succeed but instead ended up in jail, facing a lengthy sentence.

Even though Wen Shuangshuang’s skills allowed her to single-handedly subdue her would-be kidnappers, the incidents left Wen Jianyun, Liu Yun, and Zhu Wanpeng greatly shaken. Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun worried for their precious daughter’s safety, while Zhu Wanpeng fretted about anything happening to his cash cow.

To ensure Wen Shuangshuang’s safety and prevent further kidnapping attempts, she was now surrounded by ten bodyguards wherever she went. Six were found by Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun, all retired special forces soldiers, and four were provided by Zhu Wanpeng.

The six special forces soldiers found by Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun were skilled, but their backgrounds were easy to trace. The bodyguards hired by Zhu Wanpeng were shrouded in mystery. First off, one of them was so impossibly skilled that he could easily defeat all six of the bodyguards hired by Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun.

Additionally, Wen Shuangshuang discovered these four bodyguards carried guns. Although they kept them well-hidden, they couldn’t escape her notice. Regular bodyguards wouldn’t be permitted to carry firearms, signaling these bodyguards had an extraordinary background.

As for the origins of these formidable bodyguards, Wen Shuangshuang had some guesses. She was certain they weren’t malicious. Having these ferocious individuals protect her ensured safety, so she didn’t plan to dig deeper. Besides, the other party made no efforts to hide, and they both silently understood each other’s intentions.

With these ten unavoidable bodyguards—some with mysterious origins, some prompted by the love of Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun for their daughter—Wen Shuangshuang couldn’t refuse them.

Now, wherever Wen Shuangshuang went, she was accompanied by a large entourage, which was a burden. Every outing required a significant fuss, with bodyguards and drivers needing three cars just to accommodate everyone. So, Wen Shuangshuang found it troublesome and rarely went out, becoming an involuntary homebody.

On the third day after Wen Shuangshuang had a bad premonition, she unexpectedly received a call from Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao. They were overly sentimental on the phone, with the single goal of missing their biological daughter and wanting her to visit for a family reunion.

The first thing Wen Shuangshuang thought was that it was like a weasel wishing a chicken a happy new year—never with good intentions. It’s not that Wen Shuangshuang was paranoid; she knew that Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao had never shown any familial love toward her as their biological daughter. Their sudden display of affection was highly suspicious.

In the past, Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao were indifferent to Wen Shuangshuang, while the rest of the Fang Family were hostile. Once Wen Shuangshuang became wealthy, the Fang Family’s attitude turned to greed. They stayed in close contact, but it always revolved around money. Their sudden claim of missing her was something only an idiot would believe.

Wen Shuangshuang, of course, wasn’t an idiot. She had no desire to visit the Fang Family to be treated like a fool. She wasn’t masochistic, enjoying being coldly dismissed after putting in the effort.
