Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Murong Qiao’s low fever didn’t completely subside after she woke up. Fortunately, she was fine. Waking up was more important than anything else. However, after waking up, Murong Qiao continued to rest in the hospital and only returned home the next day.

“It smells like disinfectant here,” she commented.

It was obvious that she despised staying in the hospital.

After Third Brother Murong Chuan confirmed that his Little Sister was really fine, he nodded and didn’t stop her from getting discharged.

But when it came to the matter of being locked in the swimming pool…

“Since your body is fine, then…” Murong Chuan stopped her. It was obvious from his expression that he had something to say.

Murong Qiao instantly understood what Third Brother meant.

Murong Qiao couldn’t look more serious. “Third Brother, I’ll settle this myself.” She addressed him with a single sentence, and her tone was extremely serious. “Also, this matter…” Murong Qiao hesitated for a moment. “Please help me hide it from Big Brother and the others for a while.”

Third Brother Murong Chuan knew that Murong Qiao wanted to resolve it herself, so he nodded and agreed.

“Alright, but 1 can’t hide it for too long.” He sighed.

Murong Qiao smiled. “It’s enough.”

Hence, Murong Qiao returned to school unscathed, as if nothing had happened. She went to cla.s.s as usual and ate as usual. Everything was no different from usual.

However, this reaction made Feng Xinyao, who was secretly observing her, heave a sigh of relief.

It seemed like this matter wasn’t found to be related to her.

Feng Xinyao comforted herself silently in her heart. At the same time, she could not help but feel a little happy and unrestrained.

She even vaguely felt that Murong Qiao was nothing much. Since she could lock her up the first time, there would naturally be a second and third time. She would torture her in the future and let her have a taste of breaking down.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon.

At this time, there was a sea of students at the entrance of the school building.

They were all rushing towards the canteen.

“I’m not going to eat today. You guys go first. Don’t wait for me.” Murong Qiao waved her hand.

Seeing this, Yang Xin and Leng Yan also left first. They wouldn’t be able to s.n.a.t.c.h the best sweet and sour pork ribs if they arrived any later.

Murong Qiao sat in her seat and packed her things unhurriedly. Seeing that everyone in the cla.s.sroom had left, she had no intention of getting up and leaving.

She was waiting for someone.

Murong Qiao held the phone with one hand and scrolled through it in boredom.

Then, she heard a knock on the door.

The person walked in cautiously and slowly, as if she was very timid.

“Come in.” Murong Qiao was used to it.

She had already been used to giving instructions when she was the boss of CG.

Now, she didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with sitting in the cla.s.sroom and using this tone.

She had a calm expression on her face. When she heard the knock, she put down her cell phone and supported her chin with one hand and glanced at the door casually.

It was as if everything was under control.

Following her words, a girl slowly pushed open the door and walked in.

She seemed to have done something wrong and was afraid that she would be discovered. As soon as she entered, she reached out and closed the door.

She and Murong Qiao were the only ones in the cla.s.sroom now.

“W-What are you trying to do?” the girl asked with a trembling voice.

The person who spoke first was undoubtedly pa.s.sive, but the girl did not dare to not ask.

Because she was the one who called away the other student on duty that day and left Murong Qiao to clean up alone.

Her name was Lian Ran. She used to be Feng Xinyao’s sidekick, the kind that was especially obedient.

It was said that after Feng Xinyao’s scandal spread in school, Lian Ran followed the wind and left Feng Xinyao with the others.

Murong Qiao got someone to investigate and found out about this without much effort.

At this moment, when she saw how scared Lian Ran was and how her body was trembling, she could not help but smile “kindly and amiably”.

She gestured for her to sit down. “What kind of evil spirit am I to make you so afraid?”

Murong Qiao’s tone was thought-provoking, but in Lian Ran’s ears, it was like a death warrant. There was no need to exert any pressure at ail. She felt guilty and told her everything she had done.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” She suddenly apologized with a sobbing voice. “I really know my mistake for making you stay in the swimming pool for so long.”

“It was Feng Xinyao who threatened me to call Momo away. She said that if I don’t do it, 1 won’t even be able to graduate. I… I’m sorry, Student Murong. I’m really sorry.”

Towards the end, there were only repeated apologies and panic after being discovered.

She didn’t know that Murong Qiao had escaped that day and thought that she had been locked up for an entire day. This made Lian Ran feel even more tormented, so when she heard that Murong Qiao was looking for her after cla.s.s, she was already terrified.

Murong Qiao narrowed her eyes and tapped her finger on the table. She couldn’t be surprised by Lian Ran’s words.

“I’ll let it go since you’re sorry,” Murong Qiao suddenly said.

Lian Ran was stunned. Hearing her say that, she thought that Murong Qiao was going to let her off.

Then, Lian Ran heard, “I didn’t intend to forgive you anyway.”

Such straightforward words made Lian Ran choke. It actually made her forget to cry. Her expression was stunned and comical.

After all, she felt that Murong Qiao didn’t look like a bad person. If she cried and pretended to be pitiful, she would let her go and pretend that nothing had happened.

But Murong Qiao obviously didn’t follow her plan.

“From the past until now, I have all the evidence of you helping Feng Xinyao do evil.” Murong Qiao went straight to the point.

Lian Ran subconsciously wanted to explain, “I—”

“I’m not interested in that.” Murong Qiao chuckled.

She looked at Lian Ran, whose face had suddenly turned pale. “As long as you help me do something, I won’t hold it against you.”

The conditions were there, but Lian Ran knew that she only had one path to take.

“…Tell me.” Lian Ran pursed her lips and had to accept the fact that she was being manipulated.

She had done too many bad things and her heart was already numb. At most, she would just have to continue being bad.

“Simple. Do what Feng Xinyao asked you to do again.”

Murong Qiao and Lian Ran’s conversation didn’t last long before Lian Ran walked out of the cla.s.sroom.

At this moment, the sun was shining brightly outside. The sky was so clear that it made one feel comfortable. Lian Ran’s restless heart calmed down.

She was still thinking about what Murong Qiao said at the end. After standing by the window for a while, she slowly took out her phone, as if she was sending a message.

[She found out.]

Lian Ran had deliberately sent this message to Feng Xinyao.

For the past two days, Feng Xinyao had been quiet, but when she saw the message from Lian Ran, she panicked.

[What do you mean? Did she look for you?]

[We were merely watching a movie together on that day. You should understand what I mean, right?]

[If you dare to expose me, you’re dead!]

She sent several messages in a row, her words filled with guilt and panic, but she did not forget to threaten Lian Ran at this time.

[Where are you? Let’s meet and talk. ]

It wasn’t until the last request to meet that Lian Ran was moved.

She slowly typed a line and sent it.

[Okay, in the laboratory building.]

After sending the message successfully, Lian Ran turned off her phone and did not look at the rest of Feng Xinyao’s words.

Regardless of whether she was dissatisfied or not, Lian Ran was certain that she would definitely come.

In less than ten minutes, Lian Ran stood by the window on the fourth floor and saw a familiar figure appear at the entrance of the laboratory building.

It was Feng Xinyao, who was wearing a mask and a hat. She looked like a thief, afraid that she would be seen by others. She endured until noon before coming over.

Feng Xinyao followed the location that Lian Ran had sent her. The moment she saw her, she could not suppress the panic and anger in her heart.

“If you want to talk, just talk. Why did you call me to such a scary place?” She couldn’t stop complaining.

Lian Ran was silent and didn’t answer. Rather, it was Murong Qiao who picked it for Feng Xinyao—

It was a good place..
