Chapter 29 -29: Revenge
Gu Pan curiously wondered what it was, hurriedly opened the door, and followed Lu Ruisheng home.
Once home, they opened the bag and, lo and behold, it was full of family planning supplies. What was this kid thinking?
Before, they had only felt that the kid from apartment 901 must be from a wealthy family, as he was so young yet had bought such a big house and wore branded clothes, especially those shoes, all limited editions. But they hadn’t expected him to have such an interesting soul.
Gu Pan looked at the items and laughed, “These will become more and more valuable in another half a year, because no one will dare to have children by then. Giving birth is a life-threatening matter, so contraceptive measures are going to be particularly important.”
Lu Ruisheng laughed too, “Then we should remind him when we get the chance, to get more of it. We might even live a good life thanks to these in the future.”
Gu Pan nodded, “You’re not wrong, you’re really not wrong.”
The two joked while they changed their clothes. The house was warm and cozy, a completely different world from outside.
The following morning, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng finished breakfast and got dressed to go out, as these few days were the best time to collect supplies.
But just as they stepped out of the building, they saw two people running towards them, shouting, “Brother Lu, sister-in-law.”
Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng were all too familiar with these voices, it was Zhuang Jie and his wife Dai Lan.
This was the first time Gu Pan had seen Dai Lan since her rebirth. But right now, their attire didn’t reveal much, as both were bundled up tightly.
The others recognized them by their figures and movements. With Lu Ruisheng’s height of 186cm and his military background, he was hard to miss.
A murderous intent arose in Gu Pan’s heart. Since murder was no longer managed or illegal, and as the couple came together, weren’t they just delivering themselves to her door? And if they came together, wasn’t it for the Space pendant? If they stole the item, they’d likely kill for it too. After all, who hadn’t killed someone in their previous lives?
Since it was a matter of either her life or theirs, she naturally decided to strike first. She had thought to collect supplies these few days before going to find them, but since they had come on their own, they might as well deal with them while they were out.
She stepped forward and said to them, “You’ve come at the right time; Ruisheng and I were just about to go looking for you.”
Zhuang Jie seemed very pleased, “Then let’s go upstairs to talk, it’s cold outside.”
They had come prepared, carrying their tools of the trade, but they needed a closed space, away from people to kill. Even though murder was no longer punishable, they couldn’t just kill in broad daylight. Of course, the most important reason was that they couldn’t defeat Lu Ruisheng, so they had to resort to vile methods, like poisoning.
Lu Ruisheng whispered to Zhuang Jie, “No need to go upstairs, we got a lot of food yesterday; it’s hidden outside. You can take half of it back for your family.”
He knew too well that it was time to take action, but he didn’t want to kill in his home, not in the place he shared with his wife. It was better to settle it outside.

Gu Pan loved this about her husband. There was no need for discussion between them, they had a tacit understanding and were on the same page. It was better to resolve it outside.
At this moment, Zhuang Jie wanted to go to their house, but he couldn’t find a good reason to insist on it given the situation.
Dai Lan said to Zhuang Jie, “Brother Lu and sister-in-law are so considerate of us; we’re really lucky. Let’s not stand on ceremony then.”
She thought of first checking out the hiding place for the supplies. If it was an enclosed space, there might be an opportunity there, and they could take their stuff as well.
Zhuang Jie thought the same and was prepared to not succeed today. As long as he understood their movements, he could find another opportunity, so he agreed.
Lu Ruisheng led them outside. He and Gu Pan were more than familiar with the surroundings; they took them straight to a restaurant not far from the residential complex. Since many believed there might still be food in there, it had been frequently ransacked over the past couple of days. The windows and doors were nearly ruined, and the front door was open. There was upstairs too, an excellent avenue to escape. After all, they were worried that Zhuang Jie and his wife might try something underhanded. That’s why they chose this place. Any window would serve as an escape route to prevent them from being trapped in danger.
As they entered, Zhuang Jie asked Lu Ruisheng with confusion, “Brother Lu, this place seems to have been visited by quite a few people. Why would you choose to hide things here?”
Lu Ruisheng said, “The most dangerous place is often the safest.”
That made some sense, it seemed.
Inside, Lu Ruisheng led them to a secluded corner. Gu Pan followed at an angle that allowed her to watch the couple’s movements closely, also ensuring that neither could run away. Today, they were after both of their lives, not just one.
When they stopped, Gu Pan didn’t wait for them to act; her hand suddenly produced a hammer, and she brought it down on Dai Lan’s head. Dai Lan was the controller; striking first would give her the advantage.
Using a gun would be too loud, and a knife wouldn’t be suitable either. They were wearing too much clothing, making a one-hit victory uncertain, and getting into a desperate struggle would be too risky. A hammer was safest; even if it didn’t kill, it would definitely knock the person out. Then, they could finish it with a knife later.
Zhuang Jie turned just in time to see Gu Pan’s operations and, terrified, he spun around to run.
Lu Ruisheng skillfully twisted Zhuang Jie’s arms behind his back and then took out a rope from his pocket to tie him up.
Zhuang Jie, of course, couldn’t admit the truth to death: “Brother, Brother Lu, is there some misunderstanding? What are you doing?”
Gu Pan smiled: “What are we doing, you really don’t know? Right after you were reborn, you came to borrow my pendant, don’t you remember?” As she spoke, she also tied up Dai Lan’s hands and feet.
When he heard Gu Pan mention rebirth, Zhuang Jie’s body shuddered. One thing became clear to him: he wasn’t the only one who had been reborn. This explained why everything in this life was different from the last.
Now panicked, he said: “Sister-in-law, I’m sorry, my past mistakes were due to fear. I was afraid you hated me, afraid you’d take back Space. I really had no choice.”
Gu Pan, listening to his nonsensical pleas, laughed: “You stole my ancestral Space, lived off my resources, and didn’t even leave us a chance to survive, and now you play the victim?”
“No, no, I actually regret it. Otherwise, why would we both be reborn? This is my chance to make amends,” Zhuang Jie desperately explained.
Lu Ruisheng said, “You certainly did make amends. We’ve taken everything from your warehouse—collected it before the blizzard, not a bit was wasted, which is even more than what we prepared. I’m very satisfied.”
Zhuang Jie’s breath grew rapid: “You, you’ve taken everything from the warehouse, gotten Space?”
Gu Pan smiled: “We’ve had it for a while. I planned to have you stockpile resources for my use. Come to think of it, I have to thank you. Before you killed us in our previous lives, you spilled this secret. Otherwise, I might have never known.”
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Jie’s spirit was crushed. Without Space, he had nothing. His rebirth might really have been just to gather resources and repay past debts.
He said, “So you lured us here today just to kill us, right?”
Lu Ruisheng nodded: “Your visit to our place today was also with intentions to kill us, wasn’t it?”
Zhuang Jie couldn’t deny it. He tried to find an excuse, but no words came to him as he opened his mouth.
