Chapter 97: Change

Translator: Lonelytree

With my insistence and Jing Ni’s apology, the servant finally took a bite of the peach. Then I picked up the tea before me and took a sip. Nanyang’s expression changed so much in that few minutes. When she believed her job was done, she picked up her own cup and drank from it. I looked at Jing Ni and smiled.

Bai Rui who didn’t know better wanted us to have more but using the need to use the toilet as an excuse, we escaped.

There were always some people who thought they were cleverer than others, that they could control other people’s lives. But I was there to make sure that these people would pay.

After the morning exam, I heard crying coming from outside the exam hall. It was Nanyang! Apparently, she didn’t have the time to finish her paper because she needed to run to the bathroom many times.

Jing Ni looked at me in fear. I chuckled internally.. This was truly their own fault!

When we came out, we noticed the servant from the Jing Family had disappeared too. Bai Rui told us rather confusedly that the servant had diarrhea too. “In the past 2 hours, she has gone to the bathroom for 6 times already.” Jing Ni’s face paled as she grabbed my hands. We both knew who was behind this, but we didn’t expose her because what was the point. Our focus was the exam. Jing Ni and I safely completed the most important exam of our lives. 

Nanyang couldn’t finish half of her papers because she was trapped inside the toilet. This showed how ruthless they were.

After the exam, Jing Ni and I stayed at our homes obediently using the excuse that we needed to de-stress after the exam. I didn’t go and disturb Jing Ni because I knew she had her own planning to do. And I had my own plans to arrange too but something unexpected happened. 

That night, I was woken up by the sounds outside the door. I ran out from my bedroom barefooted and ran into the intruders. It was Gao Jing and Ah Hu. They were carrying an unconscious little uncle between them.


“Little uncle!” I cried out as I rushed over.

Gao Jin extended his hand to stop me. “Young miss, we need to get to Master Si’s room!”

My little uncle was placed in bed. I couldn’t see the wound on him but his face was pale as paper and his eyes were shut.

I turned my head to ask Gao Jing, “Why didn’t you send him to the hospital?”

Gao Jing was deftly installing all sorts of medical equipment. He attached them to my little uncle. He said, “The operation has already been done. The hospital isn’t as safe as the home. Young Miss, please move aside. I need to prepare the drip for Master Si.”

I stepped back. Gao Jing moved skillfully, I was so nervous that I didn’t even have time to wipe away my tears. “Brother Jing, is there anything I can do?”


After the drip was set up, Gao Jing stood up and comforted me, “Young miss, it’s okay now. Just stay here and watch over Master Si. Su Qian and Su Shen will come to accompany you soon. Don’t be afraid.”

Gao Jing’s words made my heart skip a beat. “Brother Jing, what happened? Where is he injured?”

I looked at my uncle who was lying in the bed.

Gao Jing turned to my uncle as well. “Master Si has been shot in his abdomen. The bullet has been removed but I’m afraid Master Si will be unconscious for a while. Young miss, please watch over him. I’ve sent a team to guard over this place. If anything happens, have Su Qian contact me.”

I grabbed him. “Where are you going?”

Gao Jing looked at me and forced a smile. “Young miss. I have some matters to attend to. There are some loose ends to tie up. Young miss, I’ll leave Master Si in your care, okay?”

I promised seriously. “Okay. Brother Jing, be careful! I’ll take good care of little uncle!”

Gao Jing left with Ah Hu. I wanted to ask Ah Hu what happened but he avoided my gaze. My heart sank and a bad feeling blossomed within me.

I sent Jing Tian messages asking him where he was but there was no reply. I sent it multiple times but there was still nothing.

My little uncle moaned and I quickly ran over. He didn’t wake up but his forehead was burning. I ran to grab a towel and warm water. I tried to cool him down. I prayed that he’d be safe.
