Other than this, there was no other reason. However, there must be soone behind this. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the people at the Public Security Bureau to believe whatever Auntie Zhuang said.
“l… This matter had nothing to do with to begin with.” Li Qiaong evaded, not daring to look at Ye Lengan. “The Public Security Bureau investigated everything clearly, which is why I was able to get out.”
“l don’t care how you ca out, and I don’t want to care.” Ye Lengan looked at Li Qiaong, her gaze piercing. “But now, you’ve appeared before again to disgust – that is my business. So…”
“What are you going to do?” Ye Lengan had not even finished when Li Qiaong was already afraid. “I’m telling you, I’m really innocent. You can’t wrongly accuse .”
At this mont, she was truly a little frightened. Hearing Ye Leng’an’s words reminded her of those days spent in the police station’s detention center. She dreaded having to return there. It had not been easy for her to leave recently, and getting sent back now, if it left a mark on her record, her future would be ruined.
Right then, she regretted being tempted by that 1.5 million to offend Ye
Lengan! Although Ye Xiyuan had said Ye Lengan was background-less, how could soone without connections live in such a villa? She genuinely feared Ye Lengan might send her back into custody.
Ye Leng’an stepped towards Li Qiaong, an icy smile on her lips.
By now the crowd had distanced themselves from Li Qiaong entirely, even the boy who had helped her stand moving far away to rejoin them.
Soon, only Ye Lengan and Li Qiaong remained standing in the circle’s center.
Seeing Ye Lengan right before her amplified Li Qiaongs fright – she even felt breathing becoming difficult. All she wanted was to escape, but her legs were as though filled with lead, too heavy to lift.
“Li Qiaong, exactly who got you out?” Ye Lengan asked, looking straight at her. “Did she not tell you, after getting you released, to keep your head down and not provoke again?”
Hearing this, Li Qiaongs lips quivered. “1… I didn’t, I only wanted to…”
“l don’t care what you want,” Ye Lengan interjected. “But you really should not have shown yourself to again.” She sighed, as if in regret. “If you hadn’t co today, you could have still enjoyed peaceful days. But now, you’ve ruined your own life with your own hands – you’ve no one to bla but yourself.”
“What exactly do you want to do?” Li Qiaong raised her head upon hearing this, voice shaking. “You can’t…”
“I can.” Ye Lengan nodded firmly. “Everyone must pay for their mistakes. Your first wrong deed sent you to lockup. You finally got out yet committed another folly – appearing at Shengan High School today.”
“l just wanted to apologize, I truly don’t intend anything else,” pleaded Li Qiaong, now genuinely afraid. She felt subsequent developnts were no longer within her control.
“You know your own intentions, just like the people behind you know theirs.” Ye Lengan shook her head. “The only one to shoulder consequences is you. Do you know why your backer refuses to show herself? Because she doesn’t dare confront directly – she rely pushed you forward, fool that you are.”
“No, please let go. I truly didn’t an it,” Li Qiaong swiftly responded.
“Yes, soone instructed .’
At this point, inspiration seed to strike Li Qiaong, her eyes shining brighter. She reached out wanting to grab Ye Lengan’s hand but was dodged.
She cared not one whit, continuing, “I can tell you who ordered around.
But you must release . If not, you’ll never know who wanted to harm you.”
Unsure of what Ye Lengan planned for her but sensing nothing good,
resentnt and hatred towards Ye Xiyuan also arose in Li Qiaong’s heart. When getting Li Qiaong to do all this Ye Xiyuan hadn’t warned her of Ye Leng’an’s fearso nature at all.
Thus, with the other party heartless, Li Qiaong felt it reasonable to betray Ye Xiyuan for her own safety.
She had assud Ye Lengan would surely agree. But instead, her reaction went completely beyond expectations.
“No need to tell, I’ve no wish to know.” Ye Lengan shrugged, wholly unconcerned. “In any case, it’s only a few people holding grudges against . Even without you confessing I can investigate. Besides, I feel those acting against typically et unpleasant ends – look at you now.”
Li Qiaong instantly felt as if plunged into icy waters, chilled to the bone.
Ye Lengan reached out tapping Li Qiaongs shoulder lightly, a aningful smile on her lips. “You don’t have many peaceful days left. Treasure what little tranquility remains yours.”
Having said this, Ye Lengan walked past Li Qiaong, the crowd automatically opening a path at her approach.
With Ye Leng’an’s departure, only the disheveled Li Qiaong remained, wearing a look the onlookers regarded with scorn before dispersing themselves.
Li Qiaong stood rooted in place, pallid. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to leave – she simply hadn’t the strength to take a step.
Only after a long while did Li Qiaong finally depart.
Making her way back to the dorms in a daze, she collapsed upon her bed.
After release from detention, she returned to school, still living on campus.
News of her misadventures had already spread through campus. Dong Qiuyi, whom Li Qiaong constantly quarreled with, already knew of the matter after all..
