Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Wen Xin’s expression suddenly darkened, the smile vanishing from her face. She now looked like a devil emerging from hell, making everyone feel a chill.

Su Shan’s pupils contracted as she stared at Wen Xin, terrified by her transformation. She had always been proud and arrogant, but she hadn’t expected to encounter such a formidable opponent.

Wen Xin stood up, regaining her usual cool demeanor, looking no different from before.

She turned to Diwu Qixian with a gentle smile, “Let’s go back and rest.”

After Wen Xin left, the crowd gradually dispersed. Mrs. Su pulled Su Shan up from the ground, her face grim and unable to speak a word.

She had come prepared to confront Wen Xin, but seeing Wen Xin’s actions, she realized how terrifying this girl was. Her eyes conveyed that she wasn’t joking.

Once everyone had left, Jiang Linfei approached Su Shan, but before she could say anything, Su Shan slapped her hard.

“It’s all because of you. Don’t worry, I won’t expose you, but do you think the Su family is finished just because of this? Mu Chengxi won’t let anyone who wronged Wen Xin off the hook.”

Before coming to school, Su Shan had called Jiang Linfei, who had completely absolved herself of any responsibility and had no intention of helping her.

That’s why Su Shan had come to apologize to Wen Xin, but it was too late. The damage was done.

The Mu family and the Jiang family—the Su family could not afford to offend either. Su Shan believed Wen Xin’s words, but even if she exposed Jiang Linfei, she would become an enemy of the Jiang family, leading to a fate worse than death.

Jiang Linfei, clutching her cheek, glared angrily at Su Shan. She wanted to retaliate, but Su Shan’s mother coldly intervened.

“Miss Jiang, Su Shan is already at her wit’s end. If you lay a hand on her again, she might do something drastic that you can’t control. If you don’t help us, we’ll all go down together!”

Young Su Shan didn’t understand the power of threats, but her mother, having lived for over forty years, knew that big families feared scandals the most.

No matter how small, if the label of being a scheming woman stuck, the title of a noble lady would be tarnished, and her future would be forever tainted.

“Miss Jiang, you may not care about the Su family’s fate, but surely you care about your reputation? My Su Shan never bought Hualou’s limited-edition bracelet. We can check the purchase records to find out who did.”

“If you help the Su family, we’ll keep this secret forever. If not, we’ll all go down together.”

Mrs. Su’s gaze was cold as she looked at Jiang Linfei, her heart completely calm. Knowing the worst outcome, she was no longer afraid. Nothing could be worse than their current situation.

“Are you threatening me?” Jiang Linfei hadn’t expected a bracelet to cause so much trouble, and she was now panicking.

“Interpret it as you wish. We’ll wait for your response.”

Mrs. Su took the devastated Su Shan and left the dorm area. Jiang Linfei and her companions stood there in a daze.

They all knew about this. When Jiang Linfei suggested the plan to Su Shan, they flattered her for her cleverness, never expecting it to backfire so badly.

After watching Su Shan leave, Jiang Linfei’s first reaction was to call Jiang Linyan. The bracelet was a gift from Jiang Linyan, implicating her as well.

At that moment, Jiang Linyan was at the military training base, designing the training program for the day after tomorrow. She planned to target Wen Xin specifically, hoping to make her suffer.

Her phone suddenly buzzed. Seeing the caller ID, she answered, curious about why Linfei was calling.

She put down her pen, leaned back in her chair, and propped her legs on the table, answering the call.

“What’s up, Feifei? Why the call? Checking on your training program? Don’t worry; the music department’s program is lighter to accommodate the girls.”

“That’s not it, Sis. I’ve caused you trouble!”

Jiang Linfei’s voice was weak. She didn’t dare admit her actions, fearing Jiang Linyan’s wrath. However, it was too late to hide it, so she explained everything to Jiang Linyan.

By the end, Jiang Linyan was furious with Jiang Linfei.

“You mean you gave Su Shan the bracelet I gave you to frame Wen Xin, and now the Su family is turning against us?”

“Yes… Sis, will the bracelet really have a purchase record? If the Su family gets desperate, they’ll expose us… We…”

Jiang Linfei couldn’t help but cry. She had only wanted to cause trouble for Wen Xin after feeling humiliated at the private dining club, not expecting it to escalate so badly.

“Linfei, Mu Chengxi is handling this. You know I can’t afford any blemishes on my record… I’ll take care of this. Stay low and don’t cause any more trouble at school. I’ll handle Wen Xin myself.”

Jiang Linyan realized she had underestimated Wen Xin. She had thought Wen Xin was just a bird hiding under Mu Chengxi’s wing, but this bird was proving difficult to control. She needed to devise a new plan.

After hanging up, Jiang Linyan opened her browser, logged into the Dark Web website, and posted a bounty, seeking to confirm if the bracelet’s purchase record could be deleted.

After posting the bounty, Jiang Linyan was no longer in the mood to plan training exercises. Her mind was filled with thoughts of how much Mu Chengxi knew and how he viewed her.

The last time, Mu Chengxi’s attitude had already made her anxious. If he found out the bracelet was hers, she wouldn’t be able to explain.

As Jiang Linyan pondered how to resolve this, her phone buzzed with a notification that her bounty had been accepted.

She opened the Dark Web’s homepage and saw a red dot in the message interface. She clicked it and saw a picture.
