Gu Tianfeng's original plan was to carry out some destructive actions targeting the Zhao family, especially Zhao Yunhai.
Having learned from past experiences, Gu Tianfeng knew that Zhao Yunhai himself was difficult to deal with, but everyone else besides Zhao Yunhai was easy to handle.
As far as he knew, Zhao Yunhai had several close friends in Yanjing.
In Gu Tianfeng's view, these friends of Zhao Yunhai were social dregs and should have died in the garbage heap of society.
If Gu Tianfeng remembered correctly, a phone call would come soon; he remembered it was today.
However, Gu Tianfeng himself had forgotten whether it was in the morning or afternoon.
In fact, Gu Tianfeng had another option: if this call was answered, it would mean confronting Zhao Yunhai; if it wasn't, would it mean the Gu family could escape their original fate?
But Gu Tianfeng had a trace of pride in his heart and would never admit defeat just like that. Moreover, he possessed such a powerful revenge system.
He had failed before, but now he wanted to succeed and protect his parents' safety, not entrust their safety to a mortal enemy.
Soon, a phone call came through.
Gu Tianfeng looked at the caller ID on his phone and, without the slightest hesitation, pressed the answer button.
This was exactly the same as in his memory, a call that had left a deep impression on him.
The sobbing from his memory soon came through.
"Tianfeng, I really can't hold on anymore. If it weren't for the trouble at home, I would never have called you proactively."
"Please, help me, just this once."
The caller was actually Gu Tianfeng's confidante, Yao Lin. Their relationship was one where they knew about each other's feelings but never spoke of it.
I know you like me, and you know I like you, but neither of us says anything, which has caused their relationship to drift further and further apart.
Gu Tianfeng had always had her in his heart, and it was because of her that he stepped forward to help her, which indirectly offended Zhao Yunhai.
As for why he didn't help her immediately after rebirth, it was because Gu Tianfeng knew that him actively seeking her out was far less effective than her actively reaching out to him.
This wasn't a scheme; it was merely an opportunity for the two of them to break through their unspoken bond.
"I'll be right there, wait for me."
Gu Tianfeng hung up the phone and took out the prepared Misfortune Talisman.
He directly wrote Cao Pengtian's name on the Misfortune Talisman. This person was Zhao Yunhai's friend and the young master of the Cao family.
In Yanjing, the Cao family's influence was less than the Gu family's, but it was still not to be underestimated.
And Yao Lin's family, the Yao family, had an even lower status, being merely a newly rising family.
Now, Yao Lin had caught Cao Pengtian's eye, and he wanted to force her to comply. Thus, he framed Yao Lin's father, and they were now in court.
Drunk driving, hitting someone, and then fleeing the scene.
Such charges were a minor matter for Yao Lin's father.
However, if this matter were amplified, a small matter could become a big one.
Cao Pengtian, relying on his family's power and his relationship with Zhao Yunhai, the heir of the Zhao Corporation, was accustomed to being arrogant and overbearing in Yanjing. Almost no one dared to provoke this jinx.
However, it was common knowledge that Cao Pengtian had always disliked single women.
Therefore, Gu Tianfeng had always been curious as to why Cao Pengtian had suddenly changed his preference.
Even though he already knew the outcome, Gu Tianfeng felt very uncomfortable thinking about Cao Pengtian coveting Lin'er.
When Gu Tianfeng drove to Lin'er's house, he saw Lin'er sitting on the sofa, weeping silently.
"Lin'er."
Even going through it again, Gu Tianfeng couldn't help but feel heartbroken and rushed to hug her.
"You're finally here. I thought you didn't want me anymore."
Yao Lin threw herself into Gu Tianfeng's arms and cried out loudly.
"Cry, cry, it's okay now, I'm back."
Gu Tianfeng gently comforted her, stroking her back to reassure her.
"I know about your father's situation. Don't worry, Cao Pengtian won't be arrogant for much longer."
"And your father was framed. I will find evidence to prove his innocence."
Gu Tianfeng knew of a witness who possessed a complete video, and that person happened to be filming at the time and captured this scene.
It was precisely because of the exposure of this video online that Cao Pengtian's misdeeds were revealed one by one, arousing public outrage, and almost leading to the Cao family's ruin.
But in the end, Zhao Yunhai intervened with a decisive blow. As soon as Zhao Yunhai spoke, all news about Cao Pengtian online was suppressed.
Instead, news that netizens enjoyed seeing, such as a certain celebrity's infidelity or a certain company going bankrupt due to tax evasion, filled the internet.
...
Cao Pengtian was still gloating about his framing scheme, thinking he would soon have this beauty throwing herself into his arms.
However, Cao Pengtian didn't like this type; he preferred married women.
It was always consensual, although most were somewhat unwilling, but in the end, power and money would make them cooperate obediently.
This woman was discovered by Cao Pengtian and intended to be given to Zhao Yunhai.
Cao Pengtian's main reason was that Zhao Yunhai was always busy with his career and had no time for women, so he, as his brother, had to help.
But just as Cao Pengtian was gloating, he got into a car accident while driving to see Yao Lin to "reason" with her.
Fortunately, Cao Pengtian was unharmed. As his bodyguards pulled him out of the car, a motorcycle crashed into them, grazing Cao Pengtian's arm and causing profuse bleeding.
"Ah!!!"
Cao Pengtian screamed in pain, "Quick, take me to the hospital!"
At this moment, Cao Pengtian had no thoughts of women, only the thought of whether he was going to die, the pain was unbearable.
But the road ahead was blocked, making Cao Pengtian incredibly unlucky.
His bodyguard quickly performed a simple bandage. Just as Cao Pengtian was breathing a sigh of relief, his stomach growled, and his pants were soiled.
"Quick, take me back to the car."
Cao Pengtian cared about his reputation. Seeing the onlookers holding up their phones, he immediately berated his bodyguard.
However, the car door that had just been closed refused to open. Thus, Cao Pengtian could only stand there rigidly, surrounded by his bodyguards shielding him from being photographed.
"Why am I so unlucky? Is someone targeting me?"
Cao Pengtian felt something was very wrong, even suspecting that he was being punished by heaven for indulging in married women.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yunhai didn't find out about Cao Pengtian's misfortune until a day later. He had been unlucky all day, experiencing humiliation and near-death experiences, but he just wouldn't die.
For a whole day, Cao Pengtian was on the verge of collapse.
Now hospitalized, Cao Pengtian's parents sat by his bedside, looking at their son, who had become somewhat erratic, with great concern.
"How could this happen? Is he possessed by some evil spirit?"
Cao Pengtian's mother said with some worry.
"Don't talk nonsense. What evil spirit?" Cao Pengtian's father frowned, looking at his son, and said slowly, "I suspect he's being targeted by someone."
This was the power of the Misfortune Talisman. As for why it wasn't used on Zhao Yunhai, it was because that would make Zhao Yunhai vigilant.
Most importantly, there was more than one Misfortune Talisman.
