Don’t be fooled by Zhuang Xiyue’s seemingly gentle and obedient appearance; her strength was formidable among women. She came from the Hundred-Year Literary Family, where, despite an emphasis on literature and culture, physical strength and health were also valued. Therefore, girls in the family were trained by professional martial arts instructors from the age of five until adulthood. Though her luxurious life over the years had made her somewhat out of practice, her strikes remained swift and decisive, certainly beyond what a frail woman like Lau Nana could withstand. Lau Nana was slapped to the ground, sitting with a thud, her mind completely dazed by the strike. "This slap is on behalf of Yun Ya. Just because of a verbal dispute, harboring a heart to harm others, you are the dregs of society," she said. Lau Nana covered her face, feeling a burning pain, with a metallic taste in her mouth and a trickle of blood running down the corner of her lips... "Why do you have the right to slap me...?" Lau Nana mumbled unclearly. Zhuang Xiyue looked down at her with cold disdain and said, "People like you, I’ve seen plenty. Petty-minded and vengeful, prone to envy—you’re simply bitter that Yun Ya is more beautiful than you, holding a grudge in your heart. People as vile as you are truly a waste of air." Zhuang Xiyue’s mocking words pierced Lau Nana’s heart like a sharp dagger, causing her face to turn instantly pale. Zhuang Xiyue continued to berate her, "Unfortunately, Yun Ya is superior to you in every aspect by hundreds, even thousands of times. You aren’t even fit to carry her shoes. You might as well admit it." Zhuang Xiyue’s soft voice echoed repeatedly in her ears, prompting Lau Nana to cover her ears and scream, "I don’t want to listen, I won’t listen." Zhuang Xiyue glanced at her dismissively, as if even sparing another look would dirty her eyes, and turned to look at Su Zhiyuan. "Director Su, there’s no need for more words for such a person, just send her directly to the police station." As she spoke, her brows slightly furrowed, "The current Director is Director Lou, right? I hope this Director Lou is a wise man." With a single sentence, she had determined this woman’s fate for the rest of her life. Director Su was shocked to his core. It seemed Lau Nana had truly enraged Mrs. Yan, who was not averse to exerting pressure to ensure that Lau Nana would end up in prison. But he felt not the slightest sympathy in his heart. Lau Nana had brought this upon herself by harming others, and ultimately harming herself. Such an end was the most fitting for her. Lau Nana failed to understand what was happening. Police station? Why should she be taken to the police station when she hadn’t killed or set fires? A sneer passed quietly in the eyes of Wen Xiu, who had her head lowered. Serves you right for always being domineering and tyrannical; this is retribution. Zhuang Xiyue hadn’t forgotten about her, turning her head to look at Wen Xiu, who quickly bowed her head with her hands clenched tightly into fists beneath her sleeves. "Although you didn’t harbor malicious intentions, your failure to report the crime and protect the perpetrator means there’s no luck to be had in this world. Wouldn’t you agree?" Wen Xiu knelt down hastily, crying, "Madam, I really know I was wrong. Please give me one more chance, I beg of you... " Zhuang Xiyue spoke indifferently, "Too late." Despair washed over Wen Xiu as she slumped to the ground. Zhuang Xiyue chuckled coldly. These women still fancied they could compare with her Yun Ya—it was nothing but a fool’s dream. The police soon arrived, and when Wen Xiu and Lau Nana had handcuffs clicked on their wrists, they finally realized this was no dream. Lau Nana screamed like a mad person, "My dad is Lau Weiming; you can’t arrest me...." The police officer said coldly, "Even if your dad were the King Father of Heaven, it wouldn’t help." "Director Su, Director Su, please save me, my dad has d a lot of medical equipment to your hospital, you can’t leave me to die...." Su Zhiyuan’s face was dark as a storm cloud. In front of many onlookers, the police officers led the two women away to the police station. Zhuang Xiyue made a concise, clear phone call to Director Lou, who quickly understood and agreed to everything. Being a smart man made things straightforward. Evidence and witnesses, including the nurse present during the incident and Wei Qing, went to the hospital. To classify the case as a criminal one required ample evidence. Lau Nana’s father was merely a second-rate businessman dealing in fur trafficking, far from matching the true elites. He was, at best, a nouveau riche, and such people were easy to deal with; it took almost no effort to quash them. Follow current novels on novelFire.net Zhuang Xiyue understood women well. She would never allow Lau Nana to harm Yun Ya. From the moment she decided to harm Yun Ya, she should have anticipated today’s outcome. Yun Ya was fortunate to escape this calamity; otherwise, ten Lau Nanas would not be able to compensate. This life, you might as well rot in prison. Su Zhiyuan escorted Zhuang Xiyue out of the director’s office respectfully. As he watched her receding figure disappear, his face immediately turned dark.
