Chapter 253: Taking Action
Chapter 253: Taking Action
In Fucheng, at Jiangnan University, someone was about to make a move, almost simultaneously with the actions at the Demon Cavern.
However, unlike the grand display at the Demon Cavern, the plan at Jiangnan University was more subtle.
Firstly, they couldn't create a big scene within the university grounds. Any significant display of power would immediately attract the attention of Overlord-level experts within the university.
Therefore, they didn't involve any Overlord-level entities in their plan. There was no need for it.
After all, their target was just a foolish young woman.
The one taking action was Wu Mei, a high-level schemer.
Moreover, this schemer had already gained the trust of Dudu, making it even easier to capture such a naive girl.
Inside Li Wu's research institute, Wu Mei held her head in pain, "Dudu, my head hurts!"
Dudu was immediately worried. "What should we do if your head hurts?"
"Can you take me to the medical room?" Wu Mei asked.
With just a few words, Wu Mei had given Dudu, who was at a loss, a sense of relief.
"Okay, okay, okay," Dudu agreed, nodding her head without a hint of suspicion. She naively supported Wu Mei and headed towards the medical room at Jiangnan University.
As she watched her prey fall into her trap so easily, Wu Mei felt no sense of accomplishment, only bitterness and jealousy.
She couldn't understand why she was any less than this dumb woman. She was more attractive and smarter, yet her life was so much worse than this stupid woman's.
The only reason she had caught Li Wu's attention was that she was his childhood friend, and even then, he had taken a liking to her.
Despite being useless, this woman had soared with Li Wu's help. At just 19 years old, she had become a Professional Breeder and even had a King-Class Bloodline, a Summoned Beast baby that Wu Mei could only dream of.
Every time she thought about this, Wu Mei was consumed by jealousy and discomfort, feeling that life was terribly unfair to her.
However, today, Wu Mei suddenly felt that life was fair after all.
Although she didn't have everything that this dumb woman had, she didn't have to suffer the same fate as her.
'Poor thing, she's only 19. I wonder if I'll get the chance to torment her,' Wu Mei thought.
"Sister Mei Mei, what's wrong?" Dudu asked, her concern for Wu Mei evident even as she thought about tormenting her.
"Yes, my head hurts a lot," Wu Mei replied with a meaningful tone.
Dudu didn't understand, and she couldn't have. But seeing Wu Mei in such pain, she became anxious and even carried her on her back, rushing towards the medical room.
Soon, Wu Mei was brought to the medical room.
As soon as they arrived, someone came to greet them.
Without much thought, Dudu pleaded, "Teacher, Sister Mei Mei's head hurts. Please take a look at her."
"This way!" the woman in a lab coat directed Dudu into an adjacent room.
As soon as they entered, the door was locked.
Wu Mei, still on Dudu's back, quickly injected the liquid from the syringe the woman had secretly given her into Dudu's neck.
"Oh, Sister Mei Mei, what are you doing?" Dudu asked, still clueless even in that moment.
Seeing Dudu's innocent expression, Wu Mei couldn't help but laugh. She patted Dudu's face and said, "Silly girl, of course I'm doing this to you!"
"Huh!" Dudu's eyes widened in surprise, and it took her a while to react, "You're a bad person?"
"You're planning to capture me to threaten Li Wu, right?"
Her mind was quick to jump to conclusions, instantly shifting from Wu Mei being the villain to threatening Li Wu.
However, at this moment, Wu Mei ignored her.
Instead, she turned to the woman in the lab coat beside her, "Hey, your medicine isn't very effective, is it?"
The woman in the lab coat didn't respond but started counting down, "Three, two, one, pour!"
As the word 'pour' left her mouth, a loud 'smack' was heard.
Dudu was fine.
However, Wu Mei, who was standing beside her, collapsed.
Witnessing this sudden turn of events, Dudu, who already had limited brainpower, froze.
It wasn't just Dudu who was stunned; the woman in the lab coat was also bewildered.
What just happened? Was Dudu the one who was drugged? How did Wu Mei faint?
As she stood there, confused, the tightly locked door opened, and Zhang Wentao entered with a group of people.
In the midst of this chaos, a single book caught their attention.
"How could this be?"
The woman in the lab coat's face paled, and without hesitation, she lunged towards Dudu.
Intending to take Dudu hostage, but as soon as she pounced, Dudu slapped her, knocking her to the ground.
...
The disturbance at Jiangnan University was easily quelled.
But things weren't as simple in the Demon Cavern.
A wind blade over ten meters long slashed towards them, and Zhao Kai Ming immediately summoned his creature.
A ten-meter-tall gorilla appeared out of thin air, punching the wind blade to pieces.
Just as the wind blade shattered, a burning meteorite fell from the sky, heading straight for Li Wu and his group. However, the gorilla forcefully deflected it.
Despite its success, the gorilla didn't escape unscathed.
Li Wu noticed its palms were cut, and a large portion of its fur was scorched.
It was even panting heavily.
At that moment, the man who had spoken earlier emerged.
Above Li Wu's head, a bird hovered, with three people standing on its back.
Li Wu recognized all three, having met them briefly at the Coastal Defense Tower, but they weren't well-acquainted.
However, Zhao Kai Ming seemed to be on familiar terms with them.
As soon as he saw them, he burst into a tirade, "Jin Li Hai, Wang Ma, Li Yi, you three old bastards, are you crazy? Playing these kinds of jokes?"
Hearing this, Li Wu couldn't help but shake his head.
Was this old man foolish?
Were they joking around in this situation?
As Li Wu mocked them, he heard Zhao Kai Ming's voice in his mind.
"I'll hold them off. You run!"
At the same time, Li Wu noticed that Zhao Kai Ming and the gorilla were gathering energy.
Seeing this, Li Wu gained a bit more faith in Old Zhao's intelligence.
However, Li Wu didn't plan to run. There was no need; he had already lured them out, so running would be pointless.
"The one who should be running is not me but them!"
Li Wu said confidently, reaching into his pocket and crushing a small item.
At that moment, an incredibly powerful aura rose into the sky.
This sudden outburst startled Jin Li Hai and his companions, and two of them were even ready to flee on the spot.
Li Wu smirked, "Run? Isn't it a bit late to think of running now?"
Just then, another aura appeared, directly intercepting the aura belonging to the rich woman.
Well, the situation became quite awkward for a moment.
