The Ling family is a leading force in the Federation.
Xiao Ya remained silent. Although he had just looked at Ling Yichen and seemed somewhat concerned about her, he might have been enraged by the energy guns, or simply couldn't bear to see a young girl being bullied like that—after all, what Shui Xinyan had just said would be illegal even in an ordinary family…
"Then pack your things right away and leave tonight!" Shui Xinyan has always been a decisive and efficient girl.
"Also, now that you're gone, don't keep the villa, understand?" She couldn't let what her mother left her fall into other people's hands.
Xiaoya nodded, "Okay, I'll take care of it later."
Shui Xinyan turned and went upstairs, knocking on Luo Xuan's door. "Miss?"
"Tonight, we're leaving here and not coming back, understand?"
Luo Xian was somewhat surprised, then nodded, "I'll pack as soon as possible."
Surprised that he hadn't asked anything, Shui Xinyan was also relieved that she didn't need to bother explaining to this person anymore, and turned to go to her room. She still needed to bring some clothes and things, as well as the things she had bought privately, and those energy guns; perhaps she could take a few apart and use them later.
As for suing Shui Yiyue, Shui Xinyan had completely forgotten about it. The hit-and-run record on Xingwang was enough to annoy her to death. As for anything else—revenge is a dish best served cold.
When Shui Xinyan received Ye Qianling's video call, she was pressuring Xiao Ya to book those anonymous starship tickets.
"What's up?"
"I've finally come back, why don't we get together?"
Shui Xinyan curled her lips, "If I hadn't known you were coming back, would I have gone to Yulin Pavilion so early in the morning? And look what happened. Tsk tsk, you've forgotten your old love now that you have a new one."
"Pfft!" Forgive Feng Yao for his lack of tact in spitting out water next to Ye Qianling.
"Do you have someone over there?" Shui Xinyan squinted.
"Um, I'd like to introduce you to a few friends, they're all from outer space. When are you free?"
"Aliens, huh? Then let's wait until tomorrow. I need to choose another car now, the more expensive and prettier the better."
Ye Qianling's eyelids twitched. "You're just going to keep ripping off the Shui family. But isn't your car a new model?"
Shui Xinyan shrugged. "Don't even mention it. Someone else hit me. The perpetrator even ran away. I hope I never run into him!"
A car accident? In the interstellar age, that's as rare as getting a terminal illness!
Ye Qianling wanted to ask something more, but then Shui Xinyan said, "My cousin Yiyue just came by. I'm tired right now, let's talk about it tomorrow."
“Okay. I’ll pick you up tomorrow.” Ye Qianling nodded.
After hanging up the call, Shui Xinyan continued with her work. As for tomorrow, if the villa was still there...
That night, two figures quietly left the Yulin Villa area one after the other, but the surveillance equipment there malfunctioned and failed to capture any trace of them...
Early in the morning, Ye Qianling had just woken up when he received news of an explosion in his family's villa area. He immediately went to the Ye family's council hall. Now that he was back, he couldn't just sit idly by.
After the meeting, having ruled out the possibility of sabotage by criminals and a malfunction in the villa's defense system, Ye Qianling was pulled away by Feng Yao before she could even catch her breath.
"What's going on?" Ye Qianling looked bewildered as he looked at the three friends he had invited, as well as a certain Young Master Ling.
"An explosion has occurred in the Yulin Villa District," Feng Yao said.
"Yes, I know that. But the villa's security system is updated and maintained every year, so it couldn't be a malfunction. Our initial assessment is that it was caused by human error."
"Any other news?"
"This—our Ye family has signed a confidentiality agreement regarding this villa, and there are some things we cannot disclose. However, it is absolutely impossible that it was vandalized by outsiders."
"Anything else? What about the owner of the villa?" Feng Zhaoxue pressed.
"We checked the surrounding surveillance footage, but we didn't see them leave. Why are you all focusing on this?"
Feng Yao was surprised. "You didn't know? Shui Xinyan lives in that villa." If you didn't know, why did you say you were going to pick her up today?
Ye Qianling: "...I guess I'm still not fully awake today."
"It's true. I just went there yesterday." Ling Yichen's face was grim.
Ye Qianling paused for a moment, then asked, "Who could have done it?"
"Is it the Shui family?" Ling Yichen narrowed his eyes.
"Impossible. That girl is too clever for her own good. If the Shui family had ill intentions, she wouldn't still be there." Ye Qianling tapped on her smart bracelet and tried to contact Shui Xinyan, but as expected, there was no response.
Feng Yao questioned, "But besides the Shui family, who else could it be? She promised you yesterday that she would get together with you today, it can't be just her..."
“It’s quite possible!” Thinking of something, Ye Qianling interrupted him, “Shui Xinyan has stood me up more than once or twice. She might actually do it.”
"Blow up the villa? And then evaporate on its own?" Junyu raised an eyebrow.
His words made Ye Qianling uncertain again. She scratched her head and said, "I'll have someone search the city first. Let's wait a little longer. If she left on her own, she couldn't have left nothing behind."
But they all felt it was almost impossible. They exchanged glances, but no one spoke; they decided to wait and see. Shui Xinyan wasn't just a young lady from the Shui family…
Around noon, Ye Qianling's smart bracelet lit up, finally receiving a message—a recorded video.
After clicking, Shui Xinyan appeared before everyone's eyes, and behind her, a villa and a small garden could be seen.
"Was it pre-recorded? She really is..." Feng Zhaoxue was surprised.
The girl chuckled, "Qianling, were you scared? But you probably don't think I'm dead, do you?"
