After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 350: A Retribution Worse Than Death

Chapter 350: Chapter 350: A Retribution Worse Than Death

For some reason, when Shi Yaoguang mentioned she had a better way to verify things, Shi Yiqing felt a knot in her stomach.

A better way...

Shi Yiqing really had no confidence in it.

She didn’t believe for a second that the woman in front of her would be so kindhearted.

As she wavered, Shi Yaoguang spoke up, "Don’t worry. Even though you’ve wronged me, shown no sense of sportsmanship, I am not like you. I value evidence. Without sufficient evidence, I wouldn’t accuse you, so rest assured."

Of course.

The meaning of her words could also be taken the other way around.

With just a hint of insufficient evidence, the punishment for an accusation could be less severe.

The best approach would be...

To add insult to injury.

Isn’t there a saying?

It is not that grievances won’t be redressed; the time just hasn’t come yet.

She was just waiting for Shi Yiqing’s halo to fade before delivering the crushing blow.

But Shi Yiqing was unaware of Shi Yaoguang’s malicious thoughts. She was on guard against Shi Yaoguang, fearing she might fall into a trap if she wasn’t careful.

What a pity.

No matter how careful she was, she would still fall for it.

"Don’t look at me like that," Shi Yaoguang said, smiling as she saw the other’s gaze. "I’m a reasonable person. You staring at me like this makes it seem like I’m not."

"Hmph," Shi Yiqing scoffed with a cold laugh. "Don’t think you can talk your way out of this."

Shi Yaoguang fell silent, "Don’t worry, I won’t argue."

"Really?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded and took a step towards the door.

Shi Yiqing, puzzled, asked, "Where are you going?"

Shi Yaoguang: "Didn’t I say I have a better way to verify it?"

Shi Yiqing muttered under her breath, "What could your method possibly be?"

"You’ll know if you wait and see, won’t you?" Shi Yaoguang replied, quickening her pace.

Shi Yiqing, not daring to dally, hurried to follow.

After a moment’s hesitation, the surrounding students followed suit.

Shi Yaoguang was pleased to see this, while Shi Yiqing grew more hesitant upon noticing.

This won’t do.

She must stay composed.

What could Shi Yaoguang possibly do?

She’s probably just trying to scare people.

Shi Yiqing mentally psyched herself up.

Yet, when facing Shi Yaoguang, she still felt a bit guilty.

"Don’t be scared. I’m not going to do anything to you," Shi Yaoguang said, her face beaming with a warm smile.

Shi Yiqing’s anxiety deepened, still in the dark about what Shi Yaoguang was plotting.

The group followed Shi Yaoguang in a grand procession for over ten minutes and finally stopped somewhere on the school grounds.

"We’ve arrived."

Shi Yiqing asked, "Where is this?"

Shi Yaoguang: "A secret base."

Saying that, she snapped her fingers, and the door in front of her opened automatically.

She led the way inside.

Quan Jinbei maneuvered his wheelchair to follow, then came Shi Yiqing and Mu Tiantian.

The group moved in an orderly fashion.

It was only once they entered that everyone realized how large the space was, almost as big as the outdoor soccer field.

No one knew what Shi Yaoguang intended to do here.

As they wondered, they saw Shi Yaoguang stop, take something that looked like a pen out of her pocket, and press a button.

Soon, darkness enveloped the surroundings.

Then, a voice rang out.

"Do you really want to do this?"

This voice sounded very anxious, and none of the people present could identify its owner.

Including Shi Yiqing.

Even though she did not know whose voice it was, Shi Yiqing still felt some fear.

For some reason, she had a bad premonition.

As it turned out, her premonition was correct.

In the dark space, another voice soon came.

"I must do this!"

It was the voice of a woman, filled with urgency, as well as some hoarseness and madness.

Just by listening to the voice, one could tell that the woman was not in good condition.

"It’s all that bitch Wei Lan’s fault; I wouldn’t have divorced my husband if it weren’t for her!"

"She owes me, and I will have her daughter pay it back, hahaha, does she think she has cause to be proud? What does she have to be proud of?"

"I will surely make her regret it; no one can stop me, hahaha..."

In the pitch-black space, the woman’s wild laughter echoed in everyone’s ears.

The people present might not know whose voice it was.

But, the information revealed by the owner of this voice, they could understand.

Wei Lan was indeed Shi Rusong’s wife.

That is, she was Shi Yaoguang’s... biological mother.

This woman, sounding like a mad person, said she wanted Wei Lan’s daughter to pay back the debt, clearly intending to do something to Wei Lan’s daughter.

As everyone was thinking this, the woman spoke again, "Wei Lan ruined my marriage, I must spend the rest of my life to repay myself; I must live well, for a long, long time, I want her to raise my daughter, and at her moment of greatest pride, tell her the daughter she painstakingly raised is mine."

"I want her to live her whole life in vexation and regret, I want her to wish she were dead!"

The last four words were like the forceful stab of a pen piercing paper, producing a grating tone.

After this speech, most of the people present understood what was happening.

This was probably the cause of the Shi Family’s true and false heiresses incident.

Some time ago, the Shi Family’s heiress matter caused quite an uproar.

However, no one had mentioned how exactly the switch of the true and false heiresses had occurred.

Rather suddenly, everyone realized.

This was an outright conspiracy.

This was...

A premeditated revenge!

Looking at the current situation, this person’s revenge was undoubtedly very successful.

The Shi Family indeed treated Shi Yiqing, the false heiress, like a treasure, casting aside Shi Yaoguang, the true heiress, like an old shoe.

If what the voice’s owner said was true, then...

Wei Lan was too miserable.

It wasn’t just that her child had been switched by her enemy.

She personally raised her enemy’s child and even grew estranged from her own biological daughter for the sake of her enemy’s child.

Everyone, thinking about it, couldn’t help but feel sympathy for her.

However, the most pitiable in this affair was still Shi Yaoguang.

When she was switched, she was just a newborn baby.

What does a baby understand?

Without any memories, she was switched, and while everyone was unclear about the process, her upbringing in a village could give some insight into her circumstances.

If the mistake of taking the wrong baby had merely been an accident, that would be one thing, but...

Mu Tiantian couldn’t help but whisper to Shi Yaoguang, "Yaoguang, do you know the woman who was speaking?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded, "Of course."

Mu Tiantian continued to ask, "Is she... is she Shi Yiqing’s biological mother?"

"Yes," after Shi Yaoguang finished speaking, the lights around them came back on, and she smiled at Shi Yiqing, "So, how do you like my method of verification? How effective was it for you?"

Shi Yiqing’s face had turned pale the moment she heard the woman in the audio mention the name "Wei Lan," and now, being pressed by Shi Yaoguang, she was so scared that she took several steps back.
