Chapter 43: Chapter 43 Such a Pervert_1

Her mind endlessly replayed the Contract Document, searching for a Spell that could freeze time. If such a spell existed, she would halt time, steady the apple on the wall, and then release the time Spell.

Regrettably, the Contract Document was complete only in the first part. The latter part was blank; it didn’t contain the spell she desired.

"Miss, please go ahead." Zhong Mingyang watched her moment of distraction and gently reminded her.

As she channeled Spiritual Energy into both hands, a loud THUD was heard, followed by a glimpse of golden light flashing on both sides. The bullet had firmly lodged in the apple, which now sat still atop Li Lan’s head.

A collective gasp filled the hall. Zhong Mingyang’s usually lazy expression instantly turned solemn, his gaze locked onto the steady apple. He swiftly stepped forward, plucked the apple from Li Lan’s head, and scrutinized the bullet embedded in it and the Golden Needles on both sides, as if trying to bore a hole through it with his stare.

"What a masterful move, Miss. Zhong Mingyang is impressed." After a pause, Zhong Mingyang spoke up, his voice filling the hall. "From then on, the Qing Gang officially came under the ownership of Miss Shangguan You." With the Loyalty Curse in place, all those who were dissatisfied or were undercover agents would submit to Shangguan You.

「On the same night」

The Zhongyi Gang was completely wiped out from B City’s records. The Zhongyi Gang had been a significant Mafia Gang, and all its territories and nightclubs were taken over by the Qing Gang. As for the Zhongyi Gang’s boss and all its members, their whereabouts became unknown. This unsolved mystery turned into a major case for the B City police force.

Because it merged with the Zhongyi Gang and Yang Hu’s forces, and with Shangguan You fanning the flames from within, the Qing Gang transformed. It jumped from an obscure little gang to one of the top three Mafia Gangs in B City. Its power and reputation began to challenge the dominance of the city’s two major local powers.

「The next day, before dawn broke」

Zhu Li arrived early at the door, pulling Shangguan You from her bed. With Zhang Ma’s smiling eyes watching them, Zhu Li dragged Shangguan You out of the villa and towards the school.

Today was the day exam results were posted. Youyou should arrive at school early. If her grades weren’t ranked first in the entire school, she could then leave quietly, and no one would know. If that happened, Youyou wouldn’t have to honor the bet with Yang Liwen and Shen Jia. She also wouldn’t have to face humiliation in front of the whole school. Zhu Li’s idea was good, but many shared the same thought. Many students, believing they should be early for such an exciting event, had already crowded the school while it was still dark.

"Shangguan You, why are you so late?" Just as she entered the school, Li An’s voice reached her from afar. Li An was holding Feng Shaomei’s hand and smilingly greeting her. Feng Shao’an stood behind them. His gaze at Shangguan You was somewhat odd, as was Feng Shaomei’s.

The bets between Shangguan You, Shen Jia, Li Ruo, Liao Sisi, and Gao Yuanyuan were common knowledge. Additionally, Shangguan You had also bet with Yang Liwen, a senior student. This bet involved either her expulsion from school or his resignation, with Principal Han as a witness. With such excitement at stake, they couldn’t miss the opportunity to join in.

"Are the results posted already?" Shangguan You asked indifferently. Many students had gathered in groups, but the results hadn’t been distributed yet. She didn’t feel late; in fact, she felt she was too early.

Rather than stand here in this cold wind, she would prefer to be back in her space, sleeping a few more minutes.

"Not yet. But don’t you feel nervous on such a day?"

Feng Shao’an was behaving oddly today. He initiated conversation with Shangguan You, and the depth in his eyes was something even Shangguan You couldn’t decipher.

Shangguan You arched an eyebrow and leaned against a tree by the walkway, lazily closing her eyes. What use was being nervous? The outcome was what mattered most.

"Feng Shao’an, your father is the Deputy Director of the Education Bureau. You two should know Youyou’s grades," Zhu Li said tensely, watching the Feng siblings as if she were the one who had made the bet.

"I don’t know," replied Feng Shao’an coolly.

"If I were you, I wouldn’t be able to sleep or eat. You know, if you don’t rank first in the entire school, you’ll be expelled and blacklisted by other schools. No school would take in a student like you. You’d also have to apologize to Shen Jia and the others in front of all the teachers and students. Then, whenever you see them, you’d have to take a detour, like a mouse avoiding a cat."

"I’m not you," Shangguan You interrupted Feng Shao’an with her icy voice, successfully turning his expression cold and dark. "So that kind of thing only happens to stupid pigs."

"Shangguan You, you..." Feng Shao’an pointed at Shangguan You, about to shout angrily. His sister had been terrified by her just the other day.

"I hate it when people point at me," the cold voice rang out again. Simultaneously, a small pebble shot toward Feng Shao’an’s pointing finger.

Feng Shao’an’s sharp cry of pain echoed within the school. Feng Shaomei looked at Shangguan You in horror. The scene from a few days prior flashed through her mind, and her body couldn’t help but tremble.

"Brother, let’s go." Feng Shaomei pulled the howling Feng Shao’an, and they quickly vanished from Shangguan You’s sight.

Shen Jia and her group entered the school amid strange looks from other students. Having been thoroughly frightened by Shangguan You that day, all four harbored a fear of her and had been recuperating at home. But today was the day results would be released. As long as Shangguan You didn’t achieve the top rank, she would have to apologize to them in front of the entire school.

Such a chance to publicly humiliate Shangguan You was not something the four of them would forsake. Although their reputation within the school was already ruined, making Shangguan You bow her head to them would be a way to vent their pent-up frustration.

"The results are out! Everyone, come and see!" someone shouted. The students surged forward like a tide, completely blocking the area.

"Youyou, hurry, hurry!"

"Youyou!" Zhu Li called out to Shangguan You as she squeezed into the crowd.

"Zhu Li, let others look first. We don’t need to push," Shangguan You said softly, pulling Zhu Li out from the crowd.
