"Hey, where did this pretty girl come from? What are you doing all alone in a place like this?" Dai Dong said, moving closer to Ling Xue with a lewd glint in his eyes. He even leaned in to sniff her, smirking, "Hmm, you smell nice."
Ling Xue felt a wave of disgust wash over her and instinctively took a few steps back, frowning as she said, "Stay away from me!"
Dai Dong, unfazed, continued with his playful demeanor. "Oh come on, sister, don't be so cold! I saw you here alone and thought you might be scared. I just wanted to keep you company."
Ling Xue shot him a cold glare, thinking to herself that Dai Dong was truly incorrigible. Even in such dire circumstances, he was still trying to hit on girls. What a complete scumbag. "You're Dai Dong, right? I've heard about the terrible things you've done. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Dai Dong's smile faltered slightly at her words but quickly returned to his usual facade. He shrugged innocently and replied, "What are you talking about? I can't understand you at all. I'm just a warm-hearted guy; how could I have any bad intentions?"
Ling Xue scoffed. "Warm-hearted? You trick girls into taking out loans and then push them into desperate situations. Is that your idea of being warm-hearted? People like you belong in prison!"
Dai Dong's expression darkened slightly, a flicker of malice flashing in his eyes before he masked it with feigned innocence. "Oh dear sister, someone must have been spreading rumors about me. I'm not like that at all! Those girls willingly chose to be with me; the loans were their own decisions and have nothing to do with me."
Ling Xue had no intention of wasting more words on him. She was here to find evidence and expose the dealings behind Dai Dong and the club. "Stop trying to wriggle out of this. I'm here to reveal your true colors and ensure you get the punishment you deserve."
At her words, Dai Dong dropped his pretense of friendliness, his eyes turning cold and menacing. "You think you can do that? Little girl, you're asking for trouble by provoking me. Do you know who I have backing me?"
Ling Xue met his gaze without flinching. "No matter who is behind you, if you've done wrong, you won't escape justice."
Dai Dong was enraged by Ling Xue's defiance. He spat on the ground and growled, "Fine! If you want to play hardball, don't blame me for being rude!" With that, he lunged toward her.
Ling Xue had anticipated this move; she deftly sidestepped his grasp and thought quickly about how to escape while also gathering evidence—she had to act fast before things got dangerous.
As Dai Dong charged at her again, a flash of determination crossed Ling Xue's face. She silently communicated with her system: "System, activate Charm Skill!"
"Skill activated; please issue your command within five seconds," the system's voice echoed in her mind.
Ling Xue locked her gaze onto Dai Dong's eyes as if casting an invisible spell upon him. With an authoritative tone, she commanded, "Dai Dong, right now your hands are no longer under your control; they will strike your own head until you knock yourself out."
Dai Dong's previously fierce expression turned vacant as if his soul had been drained away. His hands slowly lifted as he began to follow Ling Xue's instructions, hitting his own head with increasing force. The sound of his blows echoed through the abandoned factory.
At first, there was a hint of struggle on Dai Dong's face, but under the overwhelming power of the Charm Skill, he could do nothing but mechanically repeat the action.
Before long, his movements became sluggish and his gaze increasingly dazed. Finally, after one last heavy blow, Dai Dong staggered and collapsed to the ground, completely unconscious.
Ling Xue looked down at the fallen Dai Dong and let out a sigh of relief. She knew she had temporarily averted danger but time was running short—she needed to seize this opportunity to gather more evidence and call for help.
Quickly searching through Dai Dong's belongings, she found his phone. With practiced ease, she unlocked it—thankfully he hadn't set a password—and began sifting through messages and call logs.
She discovered numerous pieces of evidence linking Dai Dong to individuals associated with the club—messages detailing coercion of girls into joining the club and sharing profits from unspeakable transactions. Ling Xue hurriedly snapped photos of these crucial pieces of information with her own phone.
Afterward, she swiftly activated her disguise skill and transformed back into Ling Yu's appearance.
Her features and physique changed completely; now she looked like an ordinary university student—completely different from the Ling Xue who had been maneuvering through the club earlier.
