One Hundred and Twentieth Page: A Single Vengeful Punch!
Everyone except for Qiaojue and Junior Shaojie were air-dropped to the document room by the “Jumping Prism.”
“The surveillance has been cut off, you can move freely now.”
Upon receiving Qiaojue’s notification, we left the room.
Sister Qian and Sister Miamao went to tie up the people outside who were stumbling around, while Sister Tao also removed the eye mask and gag from Mi Hongqu.
“Ugh!”
This senior sister took a deep breath, looking at us with fear and confusion.
“It was you… how did you get here?”
Xiao Hai Tang twirled her side hair and replied, “We came to save you, right?”
“Save me?”
Mi Hongqu tried to stand up with the help of a document cabinet but had been tied up for so long that she felt dizzy when she suddenly stood up. She staggered forward, and Xiao Hai Tang quickly stepped forward to support her.
“Thank you… Did you come by train? How did you know where I was?”
I still didn’t fully trust her, so I couldn’t mention the Spatial Jewel. With just a glance, Xiao Hai Tang understood my thoughts. She introduced herself, “Cough, cough, I will explain everything in detail. But first, please allow me to introduce myself.”
Xiao Hai Tang puffed out her flat yet proud chest.
“My name is Chen Hai Tang, and I am the student council president of Biyang Academy. Everyone here today is a student of Biyang Academy.”
Mi Hongqu calmly accepted Xiao Hai Tang’s identity and asked, “Then why did the student council president come to help me?”
Xiao Hai Tang countered, “Because you helped us first. The emergency call made at noon was yours, wasn’t it?”
Ah? So it wasn’t Queen?
“Why did you know it was me when I used a public phone?”
This is an indirect admission, isn’t it?
“At first, we suspected you might be behind this.”
Behind her, Lin Hua leaned against a file cabinet and added, “The only person who knew about AJ’s address and had connections with the Glorious Family was you. But thinking it through, the only one who knew about this revenge operation was also you. By calling the police, you indicated that you didn’t want this attack to happen… Although I confirmed it after seeing you tied up and left here.”
“That’s right. I was caught because I leaked information… But the address wasn’t intentionally disclosed.”
“I know.”
Cherry Sauce took over, saying, “Running out to make a public call indicates you didn’t have your phone on you. It’s not hard to guess where it went… You were forcibly investigated by those people outside. Now, phones are unlocked by fingerprints or facial recognition. Once someone is subdued, their phone is defenseless.”
Cherry Sauce explained a lot, and inside, I could only think, “Ah! That makes sense!”
Xiao Hai Tang, Lin Hua, and Cherry Sauce had already figured it out, but I hadn’t thought of it at all, feeling rather foolish.
“…Are high school students these days so clear-headed?”
“Please don’t underestimate high school students! For most people, the three years of high school are when they use their brains the most!”
Lin Hua’s half-joking words made Mi Hongqu smile slightly. She took off her dirty coat and hung it on her arm.
“So, clever high school girls, how did you find me here? This place isn’t the registered address of the Glorious Family, so it shouldn’t be easy to locate. And I don’t remember telling AJ.”
A difficult question came up.
But perfect Xiao Hai Tang wouldn’t be troubled by this.
She answered, “After resolving the gang at Dragon Strategy’s home, we cooperated with the police to conduct counter-surveillance. Using the area code of the public phone you used to call the police, we locked down this area and formed a special task force to take the train.”
“You came to this city before figuring everything out?”
“Our main goal was to help Dragon Strategy avenge his friend.”
When the topic turned to revenge, Mi Hongqu looked somewhat guilty.
“I’m sorry, I heard that AJ’s boyfriend was beaten beyond recognition by the hired thugs and might not even survive the hospital.”
“…What?”
Although he was bruised and swollen, it was all external injuries. How did such exaggerated rumors spread?
Taojie herself provided the answer, “It’s not that serious. Although he looks badly injured on the outside, internal injuries can’t be photographed. Those thugs exaggerate the results to get their final payment faster.”
So they were just boasting.
“That’s good.”
AJ was safe, and Mi Hongqu breathed a sigh of relief.
“Speaking of which, I heard fighting sounds outside… Is that you?”
She walked out of the document room and was startled by what she saw.
Unconscious men were bound by Sister Miamao and Sister Qian and thrown into the corner of the office.
Xiao Hai Tang shook her head and said, “No, they were already knocked down when we arrived. As for the attacker’s identity, our companions are retrieving surveillance footage from the monitoring room… Qiaojue, how’s the investigation going?”
She hadn’t hung up on Qiaojue and was using it as a walkie-talkie.
“The previous surveillance records were manually deleted, possibly by the attacker or the Glorious Family to cover up their crimes. I’ll contact Cangyu to see if we can restore them…”
Qiaojue paused, “Oh, Cangyu is busy right now.”
Xiao Cangyu was currently controlled by Qianxia, who sent her home after school and needed to explain the reason to Fengwu.
I planned to bring her to the ward after finishing the action here. After finally coming out, she must see her grandmother.
Junior Shaojie’s voice came from the phone again.
“Don’t worry, I’ve asked Queen to help recover the data. She despises the Glorious Family too, so she agreed readily, though she’ll ask for a commission afterward.”
I became alert, “Let me make this clear! I won’t pay for that!”
“Tsk…” A sound of disapproval came from the phone.
Sister Qian brought a clean wet towel from the restroom and handed it to Mi Hongqu, who wiped her face and found her phone on a man she had tied up.
Then she kicked the man.
“The mastermind behind this is him, the market and operations director of the Glorious Family. He decides the company’s strategic direction… In short, all the dirty tricks you know were designed and executed by him.”
Only then did I look at the man Mi Hongqu mentioned. At first glance, he didn’t seem remarkable, lying in a corner like a lackey, with a seemingly kind face, but he had a coiled dragon tattoo on his arm and wore black clothes.
Such a social appearance certainly didn’t fit a company leader.
Xiao Hai Tang asked, “What’s his name?”
“Ju Wanshou.”
Goodness, what a common name.
“Junior Shaojie, do you have time to check his information?”
“No problem! I might as well say I’m already doing it!”
Mi Hongqu asked, “What are you checking for?”
“When he wakes up, I plan to talk to him, so I need to understand his information and weaknesses… If you know anything, tell me.”
“Do you really have to wait until he wakes up? Don’t you plan to leave now?”
Mi Hongqu seemed to think we should run.
But Xiao Hai Tang still shook her head.
“How can we just leave? After traveling so far, leaving now would be a waste of the train ticket.”
Actually, no one bought any train tickets.
“We came today to solve the problem once and for all. Otherwise, they might continue to retaliate against AJ and Senior Dragon Strategy, or even against you.”
Mi Hongqu still advised, “But you’re currently illegally entering. If they report you, you’ll be in trouble.”
“Hmph, locking you up here is illegal confinement too. Don’t worry, they won’t dare report it. Even if they do, there’s nothing to fear. Just a few small fry, I can handle it.”
Xiao Hai Tang’s arrogance and maturity drew attention. Seeing she couldn’t persuade her, Mi Hongqu sighed and moved aside.
“I won’t stop you, do as you wish.”
Seeing this, I whispered to her, “Miss Mi, if you feel unsafe, you can leave first.”
“You don’t need to worry about me. Let me watch you.”
Not only did Xiao Hai Tang not plan to leave, she pulled a chair to sit facing the corner. She propped her chin up and watched the unconscious men.
“Trouble waking them up,” she said.
“Sure thing!”
Sister Miamao responded. She and Sister Qian each took out a glass bottle from their bags. The bottles were beautiful, and the brown liquid inside looked like perfume or some kind of medicine. Sister Qian unscrewed the cap and brought the bottle close to the noses of the unconscious people…
“Ugh!”
They woke up in response to the intense breathing reaction.
Sister Tao frowned and asked, “What is that? Such a strong effect?”
Sister Miamao explained, “Ammonium chloride, it revives and boosts the body. We use it for fitness, so it has fragrance components. It doesn’t smell bad, but fundamentally, it’s ammonia water or concentrated… urine?”
Oh, that sounds quite unpleasant.
Just as Sister Qian was about to put the bottle under Ju Wanshou’s nose, he struggled awake.
He probably heard Sister Miamao’s introduction.
After all, no one wants to smell concentrated urine.
He tried to push away Sister Qian but was punched in the face by Sister Tao, a vengeful punch that nearly broke his nose, causing blood to gush out.
“Since you’re awake, don’t pretend to be dead!”
He asked in a low voice, “Who are you?”
Sister Tao squatted in front of him.
“Look closely at my face! Don’t you know who I am?”
“…The Glorious Family has gone bankrupt and dissolved.”
“But you still planned this revenge.”
“What evidence do you have that it was us?”
“Oh? Trying to play games with me?”
Hiring thugs online and covering their tracks meticulously, thinking they wouldn’t be caught.

“Miss Mi Hongqu is the evidence. The前提条件没有完全翻译。以下是完整的翻译：
“Miss Mi Hongqu is the evidence. The premise for you to act recklessly online is that you believe you won’t be caught in real life. Now, all the evidence is here… That could be your phone or your personal computer. As long as we prove that the communication accounts linked to contacting the thugs are associated with you.”
Despite the unstoppable nosebleed, Ju Wanshou smiled.
Although this man was malicious, his appearance was rather kind.
“There’s no point in wasting effort. None of the things you mentioned exist, and you won’t find any evidence.”
He was indeed confident, but Xiao Hai Tang smiled even more confidently.
“It’s fine~ I never intended to find real evidence anyway. Whether or not it exists isn’t up to you. Do you understand what I mean?”
Ju Wanshou slowly realized the meaning behind her words and stopped smiling.
“You want to fabricate evidence?”
