"So that's why she called Zhu Yingying over, to have Zhu Yingying use her Quantum Optical Brain to contact you. I didn't expect Zhu Yingying to betray you; instead, she told you not to come, saying Fen Tai Ni wanted to harm you... Fen Tai Ni was furious, saying she was ruining her plans. Then her fiancé found five men and had them... they gang-raped Zhu Yingying..."
Jia Zhen's eyes began to dart around as she said this.
Xia Chujian's expression remained calm, but her aura began to build.
Like the eve of a storm, dark clouds loomed over the city.
Her expression became even calmer, and her voice even softer.
The
Jia Zhen was tied up by her, with her wrists behind her back, unable to show her the Quantum Optical Brain.
Xia Chujian untied the ropes on her hands.
Knowing she couldn't beat Xia Chujian, Jia Zhen didn't dare to cause any trouble and obediently brought up the photos in her Quantum Optical Brain.
"Enlarge it with the virtual display screen."
After Jia Zhen enlarged the photos, Xia Chujian used her own Quantum Optical Brain to copy them.
Trying not to leave any traces.
Then, she repeatedly interrogated Zhuang Jie and Jia Zhen separately several times, making sure they had said everything they remembered, before warning them, "If you still want to live, keep your mouths shut! If anyone finds out you've been blabbing about Wang Yixiao and Fen Tai Ni, I won't be the one to deal with you. The people behind Wang Yixiao will definitely take care of you. Think about Fen Tai Ni's death!"
This was exactly what Zhuang Jie and Jia Zhen were worried about, and why they hadn't been able to eat or sleep well.
Now, warned by Xia Chujian, the two of them trembled, their faces devoid of color.
Zhuang Jie and Jia Zhen exchanged a look, then knelt down in front of Xia Chujian, pleading, "Xia Chujian, we were bad before, we were villains! We shouldn't have done so many bad things! We repent! We can compensate! But please help us! Save us! Please?"
Xia Chujian didn't expect to hear these words.
She had tied up and scared these two, making her no different from those bullies.
But bullies are bullied in turn.
Yet these two not only weren't afraid of her to the point of avoiding her, but actually wanted to seek her protection…
There are strange people every year, but this year there are especially many.
Xia Chujian calmly looked at them, and asked steadily, "You already took Yingying's life, and you once wanted my life. Do you think a simple apology can make up for all your wrongdoings?"
She untied the ropes on their hands and feet, and said, "But since you've knelt down to beg me, I'll spare you this time. As for whether the people behind Fen Tai Ni will spare you, that's up to your own fate."
...
Back in the classroom, Xia Chujian continued her class with composure.
Anyway, the teachers were all three-dimensional holographic video projections, so she could openly slack off.
She had wondered before, how did the form teacher Wang Yixiao seem to know what happened back then? After interrogating Fen Tai Ni's two followers, her guess was confirmed.
It turned out that Wang Yixiao not only orchestrated the event, but Fen Tai Ni had also sent the photos from that time to Wang Yixiao!
Xia Chujian became even angrier when she thought of the photos she had just copied.
Everyone has the right to punish scum who do inhuman things! Fortunately, she had already carried out justice. She didn't know how many innocent women this group of beasts had harmed…
Also, she had previously thought that Wang Yixiao's expression had changed significantly when she mentioned her aunt Su Xing being discharged from the hospital.
Her aunt had been hospitalized for three years and had never been to the school. Wang Yixiao had never even met her aunt.
Why did she react so strongly to the news of her aunt's recovery and discharge?
It turned out that there really were people behind Wang Yixiao!
First, they harmed her aunt, and then they wanted to harm her, all for the sake of cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots.
In the eyes of others, the lives of commoners like her were as worthless as grass.
Xia Chujian's hand involuntarily caressed the Other Shore Flower Necklace on her neck.
...
In the afternoon, after school, Xia Chujian returned home, and her aunt was already in the kitchen cooking dinner.
She greeted her and slipped into her bedroom, quickly took off her mask, and sprayed the wound spray she had received from the Association on her face.
Although the fingerprints were gone, her face was still a little swollen.
She didn't want her aunt to see it.
This kind of wound spray was very effective.
In just five minutes, the remaining swelling on her face disappeared.
Xia Chujian tied her hair up with a rubber band, changed her clothes, picked up her Quantum Optical Brain, and video-called Zhu Yingying.
Soon, Zhu Yingying's Smart Bracelet received Xia Chujian's invitation.
The two began a video chat.
[Chujian]: Yingying, can you tell me, how did you meet Fen Tai Ni?
[Yingying]: How did we meet? Let me think... Oh, right, it was during those days you were absent, and I had to go to and from school alone.
[Yingying]: That day, the class teacher asked me to go to her office to get homework, and I happened to meet Fen Tai Ni there. The class teacher introduced us.
[Yingying]: Then Fen Tai Ni was especially nice to me... Sigh, I really didn't know she was that kind of person back then...
As she spoke, Zhu Yingying's mood dropped again.
Xia Chujian's expression was subtle.
As expected, it was Wang Yixiao who allowed the simple and needy Zhu Yingying to meet Fen Tai Ni, leading to the tragedy that followed.
Xia Chujian felt from the beginning that with Fen Tai Ni's intelligence and experience, she couldn't cast such a long line, nor could she catch any big fish.
Moreover, Fen Tai Ni's real target was not Zhu Yingying, but her, Xia Chujian.
Zhu Yingying knew this at the time.
But Zhu Yingying did not resent or alienate Xia Chujian because of this.
Even when threatened by Fen Tai Ni, she still warned Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian also felt more responsible for Zhu Yingying's safety because of this.
After the chat, Xia Chujian didn't turn on the lights, sitting alone in the darkness of her bedroom, silently sorting out the whole matter.
First of all, why did Fen Tai Ni want to harm her?
If it weren't for Zhu Yingying, Xia Chujian wouldn't even know who Fen Tai Ni was.
Now it was clear that Wang Yixiao colluded with Fen Tai Ni, instructing her to come forward as a thug.
Secondly, Wang Yixiao insisted that Zhu Yingying's accident must be related to Xia Chujian, and even said that Zhu Yingying had asked Xia Chujian to go to that Private Club together.
Why was Wang Yixiao so sure?
Xia Chujian knew very well that she went there wearing the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha, and the surveillance cameras throughout Mulan City could not have captured her figure.
Therefore, Wang Yixiao shouldn't know that she had actually been to that Private Club.
But why was Wang Yixiao so sure? She learned from Zhuang Jie and Jia Zhen that Wang Yixiao had received the news from Fen Tai Ni.
Wang Yixiao even had photos of Zhu Yingying being molested and humiliated at the time.
Wang Yixiao thought that she was the kind of person who would get hot-headed and fly into a rage for a beauty.
...She was actually quite accurate in her assessment.
The poor Zhu Yingying was just a small fish being used.
This was indeed a hidden danger.
At the beginning, Xia Chujian thought that Fen Tai Ni wanted to harm her because of her fiancé surnamed Fan.
She had just formed a life-and-death feud with a noble also surnamed Fan.
That Fan was named Fan Chengcai, who was from the main branch of the Fan Family of Da Fu Prefecture.
Fen Tai Ni's fiancé surnamed Fan was a collateral branch of the Fan Family, and must be related to that Fan Chengcai.
She once speculated, was it possible that Fen Tai Ni called Xia Chujian over through Zhu Yingying, and then sought revenge for that Fan Chengcai? Now that she knew more, this assumption was questionable.
Perhaps this Fan's appearance here was just a coincidence.
Perhaps, it wasn't a coincidence, and it was related to that Fan Chengcai.
It was impossible to prove now.
If it was just this coincidence, it was also a perfect coincidence.
Because if she hadn't known that he happened to be surnamed Fan, and was a descendant of the Fan Family of Da Fu Prefecture, Xia Chujian would not have paid attention to this matter.
Or when Zhu Yingying sent a message to remind her, she would have gone, but if she had gone then, it would most likely have been too late...
Summarizing all of this, and based on the answers from Jia Zhen and Zhuang Jie, there was only one possibility left.
Fen Tai Ni's backer is Wang Yixiao.
And the person behind Wang Yixiao is actually targeting her aunt.
As for Xia Chujian, she's just an innocent victim caught in the crossfire, collateral damage in their attempt to eliminate the root of the problem.
That's why Wang Yixiao showed such unusual interest in her aunt's recovery and discharge from the hospital.
Wang Yixiao's scheme was actually set up before her aunt Su Xing even woke up.
Today, when she said her aunt was being discharged and she was going home to take care of her, Wang Yixiao's surprised, even horrified, expression wasn't fake.
The other party thought that by getting rid of Xia Chujian, they would be eliminating the root of the problem.
But they discovered that the grass had awakened, and the root hadn't been removed either.
Anyone would be shocked.
Xia Chujian narrowed her eyes.
If she continued to reason this way, then her aunt's sudden collapse three years ago wasn't just a simple Genetic Disease.
It was attempted murder.
Very well, she must find the person who tried to harm her aunt three years ago.
Anyone who threatens her aunt's safety should be eliminated.
Xia Chujian felt that her Large Sniper Rifle was itching for action again.
...
Xia Yuanfang finished making dinner and called Xia Chujian to come and eat.
Today, she made home-style dishes: Wild Green Pepper stir-fried with Wild Rhinoceros Pig meat, and a bowl of vegetable and egg drop soup.
Her aunt only ate one bowl of rice and drank a tube of Advanced Nutrient Solution.
Xia Chujian especially loved her aunt's soup.
With ordinary ingredients, she didn't know what seasonings her aunt added.
It was not only fragrant and delicious, but also particularly beautiful.
The soup was clear with a hint of golden yellow threads, which Xia Yuanfang said were egg threads.
Xia Chujian was extremely envious.
She couldn't achieve this level of skill, which involved drizzling egg liquid into boiling soup.
The egg drop soup she made always had chunks of egg floating in it, not these golden yellow egg threads that were finer than hair.
After taking a few sips of soup, Xia Chujian casually asked, "Aunt, didn't you say you were going to school to see my homeroom teacher, Ms. Wang Yixiao?"
Second update at one o'clock this afternoon.
