"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Tang Xiaomin insisted repeatedly, and the others couldn't do anything about her.
After everyone left, Tang Xiaomin returned to Lu Sisi's side.
Most of the onlookers had already dispersed, leaving only Lu Sisi still sitting on the ground, weeping in despair.
Tang Xiaomin walked up and adjusted the bath towel around her.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know the person you liked was Ye Lingyun. Otherwise, I wouldn't have told you about my experience chasing Yan Jue. Sisi, if you want to blame someone, blame me."
Tang Xiaomin's expression was unreadable as she took off her own coat and draped it over Lu Sisi.
Everyone else looked at Lu Sisi with disdain and mockery, yet only Tang Xiaomin was willing to extend a helping hand.
This help, this timely kindness, was something Lu Sisi couldn't refuse.
She put on Tang Xiaomin's coat and said gratefully, "Xiaomin, thank you."
Tang Xiaomin didn't reply, silently helping Lu Sisi up from the ground.
Lu Sisi was trembling uncontrollably from what had just happened.
"Xiaomin, it's not your fault. Ye Lingyun doesn't care about me at all. He deliberately did this to humiliate me."
"After tonight, my reputation is ruined, and I can't face anyone. Woo woo..."
Lu Sisi cried sadly, filled with dread for the future.
Tang Xiaomin watched her, a cold glint in her eyes.
This was too easy for Lu Sisi.
Since she had approached her in the first place and then schemed against her in secret.
Now, it was time to let her taste what it was like to be ruthlessly betrayed by someone she trusted the most.
Tang Xiaomin vowed inwardly that she would not rest until Lu Sisi was utterly destroyed.
"This is also my fault. If I had told you about my experience back then, perhaps this wouldn't have happened to you."
"Don't worry, with me here, I won't let Ye Lingyun do anything to you. Believe me."
Lu Sisi looked at Tang Xiaomin with gratitude, her heart melting with emotion.
"Xiaomin, thank you. You're too good to me."
"If you hadn't helped me, I don't know what I would have done. I might not even dare to go to school."
"Sigh, let's not stand here. Let's go."
Tang Xiaomin took Lu Sisi away from the hotel and personally sent her home.
Before parting, she didn't forget to instruct Lu Sisi.
"Don't worry, with me here, no one at school will dare to mess with you."
"I'll wait for you at the school gate tomorrow. You should get some rest tonight."
"Xiaomin, thank you. But I'm still very worried. You know Ye Lingyun's red cards, I'll definitely be tormented to death."
Lu Sisi was truly terrified now.
"Unless... unless I drop out of school and leave Modu, I won't have a good life."
Seeing Lu Sisi's dejected appearance, Tang Xiaomin frowned.
The game had just begun, how could Lu Sisi lose heart?
Absolutely not.
"Sisi, running away is not a solution. Look at me. In my freshman year, I confronted F2 head-on, and I managed to get through it."
"As long as you resist fiercely and let everyone know you're not to be trifled with, they won't dare to provoke you. Now, Ye Lingyun and Liu Feng don't dare to mess with me. What do you say, isn't that the truth?"
Lu Sisi recalled Tang Xiaomin's past experiences, how she had clashed fiercely with F2.
Now, not only had they become friends, but Ye Lingyun was also infatuated with Tang Xiaomin because of it.
Could it be that it was Tang Xiaomin's unyielding spirit that fascinated Ye Lingyun?
It must be. For a man of Ye Lingyun's status, how could an ordinary woman catch his eye?
The thought reignited Lu Sisi's courage.
"Okay, Xiaomin, you must wait for me at school tomorrow morning. Otherwise, I really don't dare to enter the school alone."
Tang Xiaomin readily nodded.
"Alright, it's a deal."
Tang Xiaomin drove away.
The moment her car turned, a sinister curve graced her lips.
...
At Xianfu Group, Lu Xing and Zhong Li hurried into Yan Jue's office, their faces grim.
"President Yan, the mission to encircle and suppress Yan Jun has failed," Lu Xing reported.
They had planned meticulously, dividing their forces into three prongs.
Lu Xing and Zhong Li were to lead two undead legions to attack Yan Jun from the flanks, while Yan Jue would single-handedly guard Yan Jun's escape route. This was supposed to be foolproof.
However, despite all their calculations, Yan Jue had failed them at the critical moment, disappearing without a trace.
As a result, Yan Jun had escaped.
Letting the tiger return to the mountain would bring endless trouble.
Yan Jue remained silent, smoking a cigarette, his emotions hidden.
Zhong Li, unable to bear the failure, asked, "President Yan, why didn't you follow the plan and ambush Yan Jun there?"
"If you hadn't left, we would have definitely captured Yan Jun."
Yan Jue lazily flicked the ash from his cigarette.
"If you still consider me your boss, don't ask about this matter."
When it came to matters between men, this relationship served as the best shield.
"Sigh."
Zhong Li let out a deep sigh.
"What a shame, it's such a pity. With Yan Jun escaping, he's definitely going to seek reinforcements. Our peaceful days are numbered."
"Our ventures in the human world will surely be exposed. This is trouble, real trouble. The Nine Underworld Kings are all formidable opponents."
Zhong Li rambled on about the dire consequences, his mood extremely dejected.
Lu Xing didn't dwell on the matter further.
"President Yan, I'll be going now to attend to my duties."
"Zhong Li, you shouldn't disturb President Yan here either."
"Oh."
...
Outside the office, Zhong Li couldn't help but feel curious.
"Lu Xing, why do you think President Yan abandoned his post?"
Why?
Besides that one person, who else could make Yan Jue lose his composure and act so recklessly?
"Besides the person who drives him mad, who else could it be?"
Zhong Li's eyes suddenly lit up with understanding.
"You mean, Miss Tang, she prevented President Yan from acting?"
Lu Xing nodded thoughtfully.
"Something like that."
...
The next day.
Tang Xiaomin waited for Lu Sisi at the school gate.
To Tang Xiaomin's surprise, Lu Sisi arrived, appearing full of fighting spirit, as if ready for a major battle.
"Xiaomin."
Lu Sisi excitedly ran to Tang Xiaomin's side.
Tang Xiaomin looked Lu Sisi up and down and nodded with satisfaction.
This kind of tenacity made the game more interesting.
"Let's go in."
As Lu Sisi and Tang Xiaomin appeared before everyone, they were met with peculiar glances.
Early that morning, Ye Lingyun had already issued a red card to Lu Sisi, and the news had spread like wildfire.
At this moment, countless people had devised various ways to deal with Lu Sisi, waiting for her to walk into their trap.
But no one expected her to be standing with Tang Xiaomin.
With Tang Xiaomin's ability to take on the entire arena alone, who would dare to provoke her?
