Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As Yun Xi was on her way to the laboratories, a black figure suddenly appeared before her and blocked her path in the corridor.

Stopping in her tracks, Yun Xi studied the figure that had blocked her path with raised brows. She smiled innocently as she looked at Liang Xinyi, who was standing as an obstacle in her path.

She had known that Liang Xinyi would come and look for her. It was only a matter of time. However, for Liang Xinyi to appear in front of Yun Xi almost instantly after the incident broke gave her a valuable insight into how important Han Wanling was to Liang Xinyi.

More important, Yun Xi could finally understand what had made Liang Xinyi such a useful pawn for Han Wanling and others.

“You were behind Miss Han’s arrest, weren’t you, Yun Xi?”

The interrogating tone of her voice and her beastly and frightening expression demonstrated the resentment that was within Liang Xinyi’s heart. She was like a wild animal that was prepared to tear Yun Xi into shreds.

Han Wanling was the only person aside from Han Zhongteng who had ever served as a dependable source of support for Liang Xinyi, and Han Wanling had been the only one who had actually acted humanely toward Liang Xinyi. Yet now Yun Xi had ruthlessly made sure that she was sent to jail.

Without Han Wanling, Liang Xinyi had only Han Zhongteng to depend on in the future.

The thought of using her body in exchange for the things she wanted to accomplish in life once again made her skin crawl with disgust.

“If you’re convinced it was me, do you have any proof? The whole of Jingdu knows that she was arrested because she kidnapped Qiao Ximin. She did this to herself. Besides, all you are is a lackey to her. Who are you to come after me?”

“You...” Yun Xi’s honest and humiliating words sent Liang Xinyi into a fit of fury. The anger boiling within her had almost obscured whatever logical thinking she had.

However, she could not let her emotions get the best of her before she had accomplished what she had intended to do.

The girl who Liang Xinyi had had under her feet now had her feet on top of Liang Xinyi’s head. The tables had turned against Liang Xinyi, and she was unwilling to swallow this fact.

The more her resentment accumulated, the more she had to hold in her resentment. She believed she would be able to pay the humiliation Yun Xi had given her back tenfold when the opportunity was right for her to rise again.

“I don’t believe that. If you weren’t plotting against her, why would she kidnap Qiao Ximin? And why would this have been broadcast to all of Jingdu? You must have planned this.”

The accusing words stood out to Yun Xi. Particularly those that directly framed her as the individual responsible for the plight of Han Wanling. Yun Xi frowned and gave Liang Xinyi another look. Liang Xinyi had approached her intending to have her admit that she was the one who had set Han Wanling up and had her arrested.

Liang Xinyi’s goal was for her to admit her involvement, and Yun Xi was naturally going to go against her wishes.

Yun Xi could deduce that Liang Xinyi had a voice-recording pen on her as she questioned her. She had wanted a voice recording of her confession as evidence to prove Han Wanling’s innocence. Yun Xi laughed to herself at the absurdity of Liang Xinyi’s plan.

“This is slander. You need more than lies to free Han Wanling, Liang Xinyi, and I don’t think you are capable of that. Don’t drag others into your muddy waters. But this is all you know, isn’t it? Move out of my way if you have nothing else to add.”

Yun Xi took a step forward and shoved Liang Xinyi to the side. The momentum caused Liang Xinyi to stumble backward, and her expression was full of the humiliation she had suffered.

“You...wait and see. I will prove that you are behind this.”

In response, Yun Xi sneered and replied, “I think you had better find a way to hold onto the Han family. Since Han Wanling has been arrested, maybe you should change your target? I heard Han Hongbin has been released, why not go to see him? He’s the head of the Han family, after all. He might free Han Wanling if you ask him to.”

Yun Xi reached out and patted Liang Xinyi’s shoulders as she continued, “You better hold it tightly,” she added with a chilling chuckle, “...or you will never have the chance to do it again.”

Liang Xinyi gripped the voice-recording pen in her pocket tightly, her teeth grinding hard against each other in fury as she watched Yun Xi’s figure move farther and farther away from her. It took her several deep breaths to swallow the raging emotions within her.

We will wait and see, she thought. We will wait and see, Yun Xi!

Liang Xinyi had had Yun Xi under her feet before, and she believed that she could do that again with the right methods and the right support behind her.

She had had no expectations about the Su family from the beginning, and she had placed all of her hopes and faith into the Han family. There was no way she was going to let it go easily.

With this thought in mind, Liang Xinyi turned and headed for the school gates.
