57: save5 Sister's Call
Hanging up the phone, the corner of Lu Lele's mouth remained curled in an arc.
At this mont, Lu Lele felt a pleasure beyond words.
It was as if she were sitting on a magnificent throne, looking down from high above at the masses groveling below.
With a single sentence, she could make those below tremble with fear.
More precious than money, more alluring than beauty.
It was that damn power and status.
When wielding it, it felt as though the entire world was beneath her feet.
Lu Lele felt that this substance was like a drug; once tasted, one beca deeply addicted and unable to break free.
Lu Lele knew she had done sothing less than glorious. One could even say her actions deserved criticism.
Using her status as a second-generation rich kid and leveraging her sister's social influence to oppress commoners from the bottom of society was undoubtedly villainous behavior, though the civilian in question wasn't exactly a good person herself, to be fair.
However, Lu Lele quickly shifted her mindset.
She patted her cheeks, shook her head, and forced herself to calm down.
She couldn't forget her original intention.
Only Liu Lili was the driving force behind everything Lu Lele did.
For Liu Lili, Lu Lele could beco a villain, a haughty and tyrannical wealthy young miss, or the antagonist who wouldn't survive a few chapters in other novels.
For Liu Lili, Lu Lele could play any role required of her.
For Liu Lili, Lu Lele was willing to beco the enemy of the entire world.
Lu Lele had once encountered a famous [Trolley Problem] on Blue Star. The content was roughly this: an innocent person was tied to a tram track, and an out-of-control tram was speeding toward them, about to crush them in monts.
However, there was a lever that could switch the tram to another track. Yet, on that other track, there were five equally innocent people. Pulling the lever would cause those five people to be crushed into at paste.
In the past, Lu Lele would have leaned toward the view of [causing the fewest casualties] and would not have chosen to pull the lever.
But if the current Lu Lele were to make the choice, assuming the person tied to the tracks was Liu Lili, then Lu Lele would pull the lever without hesitation.
As for what would happen to the people on the other track, Lu Lele didn't care.
It would be the sa with fifty people. The sa with five hundred.
Even if all of humanity were tied to the tracks, Lu Lele wouldn't hesitate for a second.
Even if Lu Yanyan were tied there, it would be the sa.
She cared only about Liu Lili, and no one else.
Yanderes are not heartless.
It is simply that this affection belongs to only one person; not a single drop spills over. It belongs wholly and completely to that poor unfortunate soul whom the yandere loves.
...
After hanging up, Lu Lele didn't go back on her word. She did as she promised, imdiately transferring the money to Liu Lili's mother without a word, and didn't forget to add a mocking warning in the transfer note.
Over a hundred thousand yuan was rely pocket change to Lu Lele. She had no reason to break her word, and this was also an act for Lu Lele to establish her persona and authority in front of Liu Lili's parents.
Otherwise, if the other party kicked up a fuss, it would be very troubleso for both Lu Lele and Liu Lili.
Moreover, just now, after coming back to her senses, Lu Lele suddenly discovered that she had seemingly, without realizing it, found a thod to [deal with Liu Lili's parents].
That's right. Lu Lele had grasped the vital weakness of Liu Lili's parents. Relying on the intimidation provided by her sister, she could force them to obey her.
Although, Lu Lele's sister knew nothing about this matter, and Lu Lele didn't actually know if the boss's wife of the XX Cannery was truly her sister's best friend.
In other words, those threats Lu Lele made on the phone earlier were actually just bluffs.
But that didn't stop Lu Lele from using her silver tongue to make Liu Lili's parents believe that she could effortlessly destroy their family.
She had just successfully used this intimidation to force Liu Lili's mother to apologize to Liu Lili and say those words that damaged her own dignity.
So, it was obvious that Lu Lele could use this intimidation, which didn't actually exist, to continue making Liu Lili's parents bow their heads until she openly and righteously snatched Liu Lili away from them.
Although the act of forcibly abducting a civilian girl sounded fantastical in the modern setting of the White Lily Republic, Lu Lele felt it wasn't impossible.
Through gradual oppression, combined with the tactics of the stick and the carrot, Lu Lele had hope of making Liu Lili's parents voluntarily "give" Liu Lili to her.
Given their greedy nature, a little handout of money might be enough to solve it.
Since she was going to be a villain, she might as well see it through to the end.
Lu Lele made a decision. She intended to follow this line of thinking, finding excuses to call Liu Lili's parents at regular intervals, constantly reinforcing her image in their minds until they obeyed her every command.
After making her decision, Lu Lele opened her phone again and brought up the dialing interface, but her finger stopped.
Lu Lele began to hesitate over whether to call her sister after all.
Her purpose in calling her sister had been to see if she had any ans to help her possess Liu Lili.
But now, Lu Lele had found a feasible plan herself.
In that case, calling her sister seed sowhat redundant.
And just as Lu Lele hesitated, the phone suddenly rang.
Lu Lele looked and discovered it was actually Lu Yanyan calling her.
Good grief, was it really such a coincidence? She had just been thinking about calling her, and here she was calling?
Lu Lele didn't know why her sister was calling suddenly and felt a little nervous.
However, naturally, she couldn't refuse to answer.
"Hello, it's Sister~"
Lu Lele answered the phone, sweetly greeting her cheap sister:
"Good morning, Sister~ Did you call for sothing?"
The other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds. Then, Lu Yanyan's cold voice sounded through the receiver:
"Don't try to curry favor with . Speak, my dear sister. What exactly did you just do?"
"What exactly did I just do?"
Hearing this sentence, Lu Lele couldn't help but freeze.
Imdiately, Lu Lele realized the aning behind her sister's words and the information hidden within that aning.
Lu Yanyan's aning was very clear: she already knew Lu Lele had done sothing bad and wanted her to confess herself.
And the reason her sister knew was very simple.
Because just monts ago, Liu Lili's parents had undoubtedly called Lu Yanyan.
It was obvious that Liu Lili's parents weren't idiots, nor would they be so easily toyed with by a middle schooler.
Although on the phone just now, Lu Lele had bluffed Liu Lili's mother by citing precise intelligence, managing to make her obey and apologize submissively in a short ti.
But after Liu Lili's mother hung up and cald down, choosing to call Lu Yanyan to confirm, or to complain was a very normal thing to do.
Lu Lele had been completely imrsed in her presud victory just now and hadn't considered this.
This resulted in Lu Lele being completely unprepared for her sister's call.
