I had nearly forgotten about Bai Weiwei, who was far away abroad, as I wrapped up matters at home. This sister had been "recovering" overseas for a while, and now that the storm had passed, she was back to her old tricks.
On a small Instagram account, she began to play the victim. She posted serene photos of peaceful moments and sincere prayers, accompanied by words dripping with green tea vibes: "Everything in the past was a misunderstanding. Time will prove everything. I just wish everyone well."
She even hired some online trolls to flood the comments with sympathy, saying things like "Feeling sorry for Weiwei," "The innocent will clear their name," and "Support your comeback."
A comeback? Dream on.
Did she think that hiding abroad would shield her from consequences? I had Qin Lang contact a team specializing in international public relations to handle crises. We packaged all the dirt we had collected on Bai Weiwei—campus bullying, plagiarized works, stealing someone’s boyfriend—along with more concrete evidence, and sent it off to several gossip media outlets abroad that loved exposing celebrity scandals.
I even came up with a catchy title for them: "From Rich Friend to Backstabbing Queen: The Dark Epic of Bai Weiwei's Rise."
Sure enough, foreign media thrived on such sensational gossip. Once the reports were out, Bai Weiwei's reputation abroad was completely ruined. The art academy where she was supposedly "recovering" expelled her. The socialite circle she longed to be part of now avoided her like the plague.
Rumor had it that the Shen Family was so furious they cut off her financial support, leaving her to fend for herself. Later, I heard she had to work as a "life assistant" for a greasy coal tycoon just to make ends meet, enduring daily torment.
Even from afar, I would ensure she faced her reckoning. Bai Weiwei, this is what you deserve. Perhaps in your next life, you’ll be wiser.
...
Gu Chen and Lin Jianshan received heavy sentences, and Bai Weiwei was thoroughly finished. The Lin Family Group was thriving, and I was so busy building my career that I nearly forgot I had been reborn.
Just when I thought my main quest for revenge in this life was complete, an unexpected discovery jolted my nerves again.
While sorting through my father's belongings one day, I found a rolled-up Micro SD card hidden inside the cap of an old fountain pen he used frequently. This pen was one of his most treasured possessions, said to have been gifted by an old friend in his youth.
My heart skipped a beat. My father's habit of hiding things was still... unique.
I immediately had Qin Lang bring the equipment to read the data. The Micro SD Card contained only one encrypted audio file. I tried several passwords, and finally opened it with my grandmother's nickname.
Inside was a recording of a conversation between my father and another man! The recording was from just a few days before his incident.
“...Old Lin, they’ve made their move. They’re coming for you, and for that ‘List’ as well,” a strange voice, hoarse and weary, said.
“I know,” my father’s voice replied, unusually calm. “What’s meant to happen will happen. I’ve arranged everything. It’s just Yao Yao… she’s still too young…”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already made arrangements. Even if something happens to me, there will be someone to protect her.” The strange voice paused. “The key is that ‘List’; it absolutely cannot fall into their hands! It concerns the lives and fortunes of too many people!”
“I understand. I’ve already placed it… in the safest location.”
“That’s good. You take care of yourself…”
The recording ended there.
A chill ran down my spine as I listened. Who were “they”? What was the “List”? Where was the safest place? My father’s death was indeed not just a simple matter of Gu Chen and Lin Jianshan fighting for inheritance! There was a larger conspiracy at play!
Who was that strange man? Was he one of the people my father arranged to protect me? Could it be… Pei Jin?
A series of questions exploded in my mind. It felt like I had just defeated the beginner village boss, only to discover there was a hidden, hellishly difficult world boss waiting behind it.
