Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Have Her Wait for Me

No one present expected Jiang Lingxi to suddenly take action, no, take a kick.

The carpet in the corridor was thick, and Li Fei stumbled back several steps from the force of the kick before plopping down on the carpet, clutching his chest in pain and crying out, his face pale as a sheet.

Lin Chan screamed in fright, and upon seeing the phone being held up, she abruptly fell silent, like a duck suddenly grabbed by the neck.

Jiang Lingxi initially wanted to ask whose phone it was, but from Lin Chan’s reaction in her peripheral vision, there was no need to ask anymore.

Mr. Tang looked at the three students who fell silent like cicadas in winter, then at the door of the room that was shut again, and immediately understood something was amiss, his face turning ghastly pale.

"I’m really sorry. As their teacher, I failed to notice Xu Ling’an’s... "

Shen Yunqing interrupted him, his tone calm with an almost imperceptible coldness, "It’s almost half-past ten. Please gather the students and have them go home now."

"Oh, okay, I’ll do that right away." Mr. Tang glanced at the stiffly standing Han Ye, then at the slightly flustered expression on Lin Chan, and finally at Li Fei sitting on the ground clutching his chest, struggling to recover. Hesitating, he said nothing more and turned to leave.

As Li Fei struggled to sit up, Jiang Lingxi stepped on him again, "Have you sobered up?"

Li Fei almost coughed up a mouthful of blood, "Yes, I’ve sobered up."

For the first time, Jiang Lingxi showed no restraint, "You should feel lucky."

Lucky for what? Li Fei didn’t hear the rest, but the pressure of meeting Jiang Lingxi’s daunting gaze was so overwhelming it made him forget to breathe.

Until the combined pain of his chest injury and lack of oxygen jolted him out of his fear, "I, I know I was wrong."

That gaze, he would never forget!

Outside, the quietness returned, increasing the tension among the three left inside.

Lin Chan stared intently at the phone held in Jiang Lingxi’s hand, watching her walk towards herself after releasing Li Fei; she even thought about just turning and running.

"Unlock it."

"No!" Lin Chan instinctively shook her head, gritted her teeth, and went for it, trying to grab the phone.

Having seen Li Fei get kicked, she guessed that the video on the phone had likely been seen, and Li Fei probably...

But the video must not fall into anyone else’s hands, especially not into those of the person in front of her, not when Xuefei’s cousin awaited it.

Jiang Lingxi wouldn’t let her snatch it that easily. Judging by the video and the phone’s position in the room, not to mention Lin Chan’s track record with her,

If this crude setup wasn’t engineered by Lin Chan, she’d eat the phone for sure.

"Why are you panicking?"

"It’s my phone!" Lin Chan, sweating profusely from the struggle, still couldn’t touch the phone, and shouted in frustration.

"Why was your phone in the room behind me?"

Faced with Li Fei and Han Ye’s eyes fixed on her, "I, I left the phone to charge there. Is that not okay?"

"Oh, charging while recording?"

The little alcohol left in Li Fei’s system was gone after the kick, and overhearing this conversation, he understood everything.

He didn’t dare glare at Jiang Lingxi, who had kicked him, nor at the man guarding the corridor entrance who hadn’t let anyone through. Instead, he gave a vicious glare at Lin Chan, who was no better off than him at this moment.

"You f**king set me up!"

Lin Chan had no time for him, her mind was fixated on her phone.

Just as Jiang Lingxi was about to press Lin Chan’s hand to unlock the phone, it suddenly rang.

Lin Chan’s heart sank instantly, and as Jiang Lingxi looked at the phone screen, she couldn’t help but shout, "Don’t answer it!"

"Cousin Xuefei, Lin Xuefei is your cousin?"

Jiang Lingxi didn’t expect an honest answer from Lin Chan; she just needed to see her reaction to know.

"I wondered how a little girl who just graduated from high school could come up with such a plan, turns out there was someone advising you from behind." Jiang Lingxi said as she casually pressed to answer the call and turned on the speakerphone.

A woman’s voice came through, "How’s it going, did everything go smoothly?"

Lin Chan wanted to scream for her cousin to hang up, but just as she opened her mouth, Han Ye, who stood silently beside her, covered it.

If such intimate contact took place elsewhere, she’d be thrilled, but here and now, it spelled only despair.

In the silence, Jiang Lingxi gave a light affirmative over the phone.

The voice continued, "It’s so quiet, the gathering over? Did you get the video? If so, send it to me quickly, and delete it from your phone. That way, even if Xu Ling’an suspects you, she’ll have no evidence. She has to suffer in silence."

"Well planned, seems like you’ve had a lot of free time after leaving the film crew." Jiang Lingxi didn’t disguise her voice this time, and a few seconds later, the call ended.

"You really are quite the sisters." Jiang Lingxi looked at Lin Chan, who collapsed on the floor after being released by Han Ye, mocking softly, then turned to glance at the door behind her.

She had initially thought it was just a bout of jealousy and impulsiveness among school girls, not realizing Lin Xuefei was involved.

Lin Xuefei was so unwilling to leave the crew, surely she’d keep an eye on who replaced her as an actress; it’s just unclear how she found this opportunity.

But regardless, Xu Ling’an’s undeserved ordeal partly had Lin Xuefei to blame.

"The other students have all left." Mr. Tang, collaborating with Lin Qiuyuan, sent all the students away under the pretense that the courtyard needed temporary maintenance. After hesitating, he entered with her.

Seeing Lin Chan also slumped on the floor, the last bit of hope in his heart vanished.

Furious and upset, "You all, how could you be so foolish!"

Lin Qiuyuan maintained her composure seeing the scene in the corridor. She had seen much more than Mr. Tang, being a homeroom teacher, and could pretty much guess the story without needing to ask much.

She looked at the guest at the corridor’s entrance, who orchestrated the scene while helping direct the evacuation of students, "Mr. Shen, everything is prepared from this courtyard to the gate. All surveillance is off; within the next half-hour, no one will pass through. Is there anything else you require, just let us know."

Hearing this, Han Ye couldn’t help but look over, noticing a flash of shock on his face upon seeing the badge pinned to Lin Qiuyuan’s chest.

He only just realized he might have bumped into big trouble, and now, given the cooperation with Minghe Courtyard, this must be someone quite powerful, perhaps a super heavyweight!

He wanted to defend himself by saying he did nothing wrong, but the words wouldn’t come.

Any defense was useless unless these two chose to let him go.

Shen Yunqing first looked at Jiang Lingxi.

Jiang Lingxi nodded lightly to him.

Only then did Shen Yunqing enter the adjacent room, coming back out with the sleeping Xu Ling’an in his arms.

Seeing this, Lin Qiuyuan thought, ’As expected,’ and said, "I’ll lead the way for Mr. Shen."

Jiang Lingxi waved her off, "You go back to the car and wait for me."

As Shen Yunqing walked some distance away, he could still hear the three kids confessing their remorse behind him, just as he anticipated.

After all, ensuring there’s no trouble left is always His Majesty’s way.

In the corridor, Jiang Lingxi put away the phone that recorded three continuous videos and looked at the three who were subdued by her force, finally fixing her gaze on Han Ye, "Go get a basin of water."

Although puzzled, Han Ye got up and complied obediently.

He didn’t dare sneak away, knowing that if even the woman in the cheongsam said such, he wouldn’t dare believe he could exit the courtyard’s gates.

He filled a basin with water and set it on the ground. Jiang Lingxi, in front of all three, put Lin Chan’s phone directly into the water. Watching it bubble a few times before sinking into the bottom, she said, "When a phone falls in water, it can’t be used anymore, right?"

Lin Chan, seeing her newly bought phone, purchased with New Year’s money, turn black-screen due to water, controlled her teeth from chattering with anger. Just as she thought to shake her head, she remembered the forced confession she just made in front of the camera and reluctantly nodded, "Yes, no, it can’t be used."

"Then I’ll take it off you, no need to thank me. Oh, you should also remind your cousin to wait for me."

This time, she was truly angry!

Regarding the three here, especially Lin Chan, who nearly succeeded in her scheme, she would make this girl learn that the consequences of such actions would cost far more than just a phone.

This lesson would remain unforgettable for them!
