It was not long after Liang Xinyi had left that Yun Xi made a call to Team Leader A and instructed him to have the team monitor Liang Xinyi’s daily activities for the next two days and report any abnormalities.

"It’s not like you to zone out in Professor Fang’s class, Yun Xi," Lan Jing commented as she gave Yun Xi’s elbow a small jab. "What’s wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Yun Xi stopped her wandering thoughts and turned her attention back to the class. She smiled awkwardly as her eyes met with Professor Fang’s, who was staring in her direction. She began to scramble and take down the lesson’s notes.

There were pros and cons to being the top scholar in three subjects. The pros were that she was favored by her professors, and the cons were that everyone else in school had declared her as the competitor who they wanted to take down.

Once her lesson had ended, Yun Xi was joined by Zhao Yumo during her break time. The two had memorized each other’s timetables, and since their departments were not too far apart, they spent most of their break times together.

"I saw Liang Xinyi stopping you by the school gates this morning. What did she want? She had classes too, and she skipped them. What’s she plotting?"

If this incident had not occurred right before Zhao Yumo’s class, she would have joined the two to find out what Liang Xinyi had wanted from Yun Xi.

Han Wanling’s arrest had become infamous in Jingdu, and Liang Xinyi had lost her key pillar of support in the process. There was no doubt she would have been in a state of panic.

"She’s lost Han Wanling, and she’s panicking. She tried to force me to admit that I had something to do with her arrest. Even if I had, I wouldn’t simply tell her about it. Who knew if she had a voice-recording pen in her pocket? Why would any culprit go through all the trouble if someone else could obtain an admission of guilt that easily?"

"Considering what Han Wanling did, it will not be easy for

The live broadcast had shown the world Han Wanling’s true character and intentions. Even if she said she had been set up by others, the public had already witnessed the ugly side of her.

"Liang Xinyi thought if she could squeeze a false confession out of me, she could free Han Wanling. How foolish."

"Personally, I feel that Han Hongbin won’t be able to salvage the reputation of the Han family and free Han Wanling. Han Wanling is already proof positive of the Han family’s poor character. No matter what he does, the impression has been set. But Han Hongbin will definitely try to free his daughter. What do you think he will do?"

"Qiao Ximin was the victim, and Han Hongbin needs the Qiao family’s pardon first to free her."

Yun Xi squinted her eyes, and her pupils became ice-cold as she continued in a meaningful tone, "I have been waiting for this. If the Qiao family ascends, the tension between these two families will never be resolved."

"But once they do, their economic powers will be publicly disclosed. The Qiao family has kept themselves well hidden. Do you think they have the appropriate economic power to enter into the big four?"

"The Qiao family do not need to have it if the Han family has them covered. If Han Hongbin wants a pardon from the Qiao family, he will have to share some assets with them. Nothing is too hard for him."

"Ah, I see. So the Han family will push the Qiao family up to take their place by bringing themselves down. D*mn, this is pretty cruel. Han Hongbin must be seething with hatred for you and the Qiao family right now."

Yun Xi shrugged. She retained her innocent demeanor as she continued, "Well, we can look forward to that!"

The mention of Han Wanling had brought up another topic in Zhao Yumo’s mind—the socialite ball was a hot topic within Jingdu recently.

"Seems that Han Wanling won’t be able to attend the socialite ball anymore now that she has been detained," she commented, propping her chin on a hand. "Too bad, she returned from overseas and then sabotaged herself. She will lose her chance for another three years. This might be the biggest regret of her life. Knowing her, she will definitely not let you off the hook. You better watch out for her, Yun Xi."

"Don’t worry. My attendance at the ball will only be revealed at the start of the ball. She won’t find out beforehand that I will be attending. Even if she has something planned, it would be for after the start of the competition, and I doubt there would be much she can do. I’ll be fine."

"Still, you have to be careful."
