I started out with seven husbands, and I worked hard to support my family while crying.

Chapter 192: My Savior

"No, the Giant Whale Gang has a huge influence in the area and has many connections with some people in the government. The government may not be able to control them."

"We can't just sit here and wait to die, can we?" Xiaoman said anxiously, her hands clenched into fists.

"If all else fails, I'll sell the factory and give the money to them."

Fang Xiaoxiao said helplessly, a hint of despair flashing in her eyes.

"No way! This factory is your life's work, how can you just sell it like that!" Xiaoman firmly objected, raising her voice several decibels.

Just when they were at their wits' end, Old Zhang walked in.

"Wife, I have an idea," Old Zhang said, a hint of mystery on his face.

"Tell me quickly!" Fang Xiaoxiao asked anxiously, as if she had grasped at a straw.

"I heard that the leader of the Giant Whale Gang dotes on his youngest daughter. If we can capture her and use her to blackmail them, maybe we can get them to let us go."

Old Zhang said cautiously.

"Will this work? What if it backfires and we end up in even more danger?" Fang Xiaoxiao hesitated, her beautiful face full of worry.

"There's no other way right now, we can only give it a try," Old Zhang said, a resolute glint in his eyes.

Xiaoman said.

“I think we can give it a try, but we need to plan carefully.” Her eyes were firm, as if she had already made all the preparations.

After a detailed discussion, they decided to follow Old Zhang's idea.

The next day, Xiaoman went out early to inquire about the news.

She wandered through the streets and alleys, talking to all sorts of people, and finally learned that the youngest daughter of the leader of the Giant Whale Gang would be going to the temple to burn incense today.

So, Fang Xiaoxiao and Xiaoman lay in ambush near the temple early on.

They hid behind a large tree, nervously watching the commotion at the temple entrance.

At midday, with the sun high in the sky, a magnificent carriage slowly drove up and stopped at the temple gate.

A beautifully dressed young woman stepped down from the carriage, accompanied by several maids and guards.

The girl was beautiful and elegant, clearly from a wealthy family.

Xiaoman seized the opportunity and leaped out like a bolt of lightning.

Her movements were light and swift; she subdued the guards in a few moves and abducted the girl onto the carriage.

"Giddy up!" Xiaoman cracked her whip, and the carriage quickly left the temple, heading towards the brown sugar factory.

Back at the factory, Fang Xiaoxiao locked the girl in a room and assigned Old Zhang to guard the door.

"Sister Fang, what should we do next?" Xiaoman asked, her forehead covered in sweat.

"Let's wait until the Giant Whale Gang comes knocking on our door," Fang Xiaoxiao said, feeling quite nervous herself.

Sure enough, not long after, the Giant Whale Gang received the news and surrounded the brown sugar factory with great force.

"Listen up, you people inside! Release the young lady right now, or you'll all die a horrible death!"

A furious roar came from outside, the voice like thunder, which made people tremble with fear.

Fang Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, walked to the door, and called out.

"We'll release them as long as you promise to stop collecting protection money." Her voice wasn't loud, but it was full of determination.

"Don't even think about it! If you dare touch a hair on my daughter's head, I'll make you wish you were dead!" the gang leader said, his voice full of threat.

The two sides were deadlocked, and the atmosphere was extremely tense, as if a single spark could ignite the entire situation.

Just then, the kidnapped girl suddenly shouted, "Dad, save me!"

Fang Xiaoxiao quickly covered her mouth, but it was too late.

Upon hearing his daughter's cries, the leader of the Giant Whale Gang became even more anxious.

"Don't hurt her, let's talk this out!" His voice held a hint of pleading.

After a difficult negotiation, the leader of the Giant Whale Gang finally agreed to stop collecting protection fees, and Fang Xiaoxiao then had the door opened and the people released.

However, just as Fang Xiaoxiao was about to release the person, a vice leader of the Giant Whale Gang suddenly spoke up.

"Boss, we can't just let them get away with this. If word gets out, what will become of the Giant Whale Gang's reputation?"

The gang leader hesitated for a moment, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes, and then nodded.

Having received instructions, the deputy leader suddenly ordered, "Charge in and kill them!"

The Giant Whale Gang members immediately surged into the factory like a tidal wave, engaging in a fierce battle with Fang Xiaoxiao and her group.

Fang Xiaoxiao and Xiaoman fought back fiercely, but the enemy outnumbered them and were all highly skilled in martial arts, so they gradually found themselves at a disadvantage.

Suddenly, a burly man brandished a large knife and slashed at Fang Xiaoxiao. Xiaoman reacted quickly and blocked in front of him without hesitation. Her arm was slashed, and blood instantly stained her sleeve.

"Xiaoman, how are you?"

Fang Xiao said with heartache, her eyes filled with tears.

"I'm fine, Sister Fang, be careful!"

Xiaoman said, gritting her teeth, she continued to fight the enemy.

Just then, government officials suddenly appeared. It turned out that Old Zhang, seeing the situation was dire, had secretly gone to report it to the authorities.

When the Giant Whale Gang saw the government officials arrive, they panicked. Some tried to run away, while others knelt down and begged for mercy.

Ultimately, the Giant Whale Gang was wiped out by the government, and Fang Xiaoxiao's brown sugar factory was saved.

After this incident, Fang Xiaoxiao and Xiaoman's relationship deepened even further.

Together they took great care of the brown sugar factory, and the business flourished.

But their good fortune didn't last long. The remnants of the Giant Whale Gang, unwilling to accept defeat, began plotting revenge.

One night, the moon was covered by dark clouds, and the sky was pitch black.

Fang Xiaoxiao and Xiaoman were doing accounts at the factory. Suddenly, a group of men in black jumped over the wall and rushed into the house.

"Fang Xiaoxiao, today is your death day!"

"It is," said the leader of the men in black, his voice hoarse and sinister.

Fang Xiaoxiao and Xiaoman were terrified. They immediately stood up, grabbed the sticks beside them, and fought back.

But the men in black were all highly skilled in martial arts and their moves were ruthless, and they gradually found it difficult to defend themselves.

Just as Fang Xiaoxiao was about to be captured by the men in black, Xiaoman stepped forward and engaged in a life-or-death struggle with them.

"Sister Fang, you have to go!"

Xiaoman shouted, her voice firm and resolute.

Fang Xiaoxiao refused to abandon Xiaoman and flee alone, "No, we'll go together!"

She held Xiaoman's hand tightly, refusing to let go.

Taking advantage of their distraction, the men in black launched an even fiercer attack.

Xiaoman was seriously injured again while protecting Fang Xiaoxiao, and her clothes were stained with blood.

"Xiaoman!" Fang Xiaoxiao hugged Xiaoman, tears streaming down her face, her voice shrill and sorrowful.

The man in black pressed closer, and it looked like he was about to put Fang Xiaoxiao at a disadvantage.

At this critical moment, a flash of sword light appeared, and the leader of the men in black instantly fell to the ground.

It turned out to be a mysterious swordsman who appeared. He was dressed in a black cloak, with a cold face, sharp eyes, and superb swordsmanship. He subdued all the men in black in just a few moves.
