Lin Yao's face was cold, but her words carried deep meaning.
Ma Yan could no longer endure the torment and hurriedly said, "I’ll tell you everything."
"What will you say?" Lin Yao's tone was icy, yet it inexplicably held a hint of pressure.
"It’s the ability user Bai Youyou who came to find me. She said you two are cousins, and her parents kindly took care of you while you were growing up. Yet, you are filled with dissatisfaction towards her and her family. Not only do you bully her at home, but you also often speak ambiguous words outside, tarnishing her reputation."
"Oh, is that what she said? What else?"
"She also mentioned that she doesn’t want to hurt you; she just wants to ruin your reputation so that in the future, no one will believe what you say."
As soon as those words were spoken, Lin Yao remained still, but Yao Beiluo could no longer contain himself.
He rushed forward and grabbed Ma Yan by the collar, speaking passionately, "It’s easy for you to say that. But don’t you know how damaging such rumors can be for a girl? If someone is a bit weaker in spirit and cannot clear their name, they might even consider suicide!"
Yao Beiluo's eyes turned red with anger as he turned to look at the onlookers.
"With such a hot topic, there must be quite a few people here participating, right? You should know that rumors can be a weapon that kills without leaving a trace!"
Zhang Hongyi quickly stepped forward to support him. "I’m sure some of you recognize me as the head of the news team. If you’re going to spread this story outside, think carefully before you do. The campus network is a place for relaxation, not for recklessness. And remember, the First Middle School is a military preparatory school; we are future soldiers. You’d better keep that in mind and not tarnish this name!"
The subtle threats from both men made those present quiet down.
However, there were still some who remained unconvinced.
Lin Yao didn’t mind and continued to ask Ma Yan, "You must have chat records; send them to me."
Ma Yan moved his hands and feet bound by vines, signaling her to untie him.
With a flick of her hand, the vines disappeared.
Yao Beiluo remained on guard, fearing Ma Yan might suddenly turn against them. To his surprise, Ma Yan honestly sent the chat records to Lin Yao.
Having obtained what she wanted, Lin Yao didn’t linger and led Yao Beiluo and Zhang Hongyi towards the ability users' area.
At that moment, the campus security team arrived but only found the dispersing crowd.
Seeing Ma Yan looking dejected, they asked, "Did someone hit you?"
"No!" Ma Yan's face was grim as he denied it firmly.
Since the involved party denied it, the campus security team had no reason to press further and prepared to leave.
As they were about to go, Ma Yan ominously remarked, "You might want to check out the ability users; perhaps you'll catch a fight."
The Security Team:
Although Lin Yue was a freshman, she was a healer. Therefore, her reputation among those with abilities was quite significant. After all, healing not only allowed for instant recovery from injuries but could also soothe mental strain to a certain extent. It could be said that as long as there was a healer nearby using their abilities, even the most chaotic mental state would not lead to a complete breakdown.
Having such a healer around provided an extra layer of security for life. When Lin Yao arrived at the ability training center, she casually inquired about Lin Yue's whereabouts.
"Lin Yue, I really envy you for awakening such a wonderful ability as healing. I bet all the ability users on Yunmeng Star want to marry you!"
Upon entering the classroom for abilities, Lin Yao saw several boys and girls gathered around Lin Yue. One girl seemed to be speaking with a mix of envy and jealousy.
"Marrying such a venomous woman might not be a good thing!" Lin Yao interjected.
Hearing her voice, the group finally noticed her arrival. A boy stepped forward, wanting to show off, but Lin Yao pushed him aside.
"This is none of your business; I'm here to find Lin Yue."
Seeing Lin Yao's imposing demeanor, Lin Yue seemed to recall something she had done, and for a brief moment, she appeared flustered but quickly regained her composure.
"Sister, what do you need me for?"
Lin Yao didn't engage in small talk; she got straight to the point. "The trending post on the campus network—did you have someone create it?"
"Sister, what are you talking about? How could I do something like that?" Lin Yue denied it.
"Are you sure you didn't get involved?"
Lin Yue blinked twice, and tears began to fall. "I..."
This display made her seem quite pitiful and turned Lin Yao into the aggressive villain of the situation. Those around who were about to speak up in defense were silenced by a single glance from Lin Yao, combined with the pressure of her mental abilities. "Everyone who isn’t involved, keep your mouths shut."
The moment she released her mental pressure, those outside its range—Yao Beiluo, Zhang Hongyi, and the crowd behind them—felt an overwhelming force. However, at this moment, Lin Yao was focused on her business, and no one dared to speak further.
After threatening everyone present, Lin Yao slowly said, "Now that no one is interrupting, you can cry and explain things clearly. Did you or did you not interfere with the campus trending post?"
"Sister," she said, glancing around in search of someone to help her.
Unfortunately, everyone was immobilized by Lin Yao and could not move at all.
"Stop looking; there’s no one here who can help you. Now tell me, did you have any involvement in the campus hot topic?"
"I didn’t, sister." Lin Yue gritted her teeth and denied it.
"Are you sure? Are you absolutely certain that you didn’t recruit anyone to comment on the campus hot topic and tarnish my reputation?"
"I’m sure—"
Lin Yao chuckled lightly, interrupting her. "Don’t be so hasty. I want to make a bet with you. If you’re certain, I’ll have someone investigate. If it turns out you’re not involved, I’ll transfer all the assets left by my parents to you without any conditions; but if it’s found that you are involved, then you’ll have to drink this potion."
Lin Yao's parents had passed away, leaving behind a family business that was managed by the family, but the shares were under her name.
Aside from the business shares, there were also properties, jewelry, and other real estate. Although it was unclear how much had been embezzled, if she could inherit what remained smoothly, Lin Yao would become a genuine wealthy woman.
When Lin Yao mentioned transferring all her parents' assets to her without conditions, Lin Yue’s eyes lit up instantly.
However, upon seeing the potion Lin Yao produced, she began to hesitate again.
"What is this potion?"
"This is a truth serum. Once you drink it, I will ask you questions. Of course, you can choose not to answer. But if you do answer, what comes out will definitely be the truth."
As she spoke, Lin Yao’s fingers tapped rapidly on her holographic interface.
