Soon, a betting agreement appeared before Lin Yue.
By signing this agreement, if you win, you will instantly possess a fortune of billions and step onto the peak of your life; if you lose, drinking the truth serum would only force you to utter a few honest words! Lin Yao's voice carried a hint of temptation.
Lin Yue listened, biting her lip in silence, but Lin Yao knew she was tempted. She and her family all wanted the wealth under Lin Yue's name, but they were not united with the Lin family. The two sides monitored and restrained each other, which allowed Lin Yao to survive until now.
When the opportunity of a practical exam presented itself, Lin Yue couldn't wait to eliminate Lin Yao. If it weren't for Lin Yao's rebirth from the Guangxing System, Lin Yue's family would likely be embroiled in a fierce struggle with the Lin family over the assets under Lin Yao's name!
The chance to gain my wealth is only now. You must understand that I will soon turn eighteen. Once I reach eighteen, even if I am weak and cannot compete with you, I can still donate my shares to a powerful force just to disgust you. At that point, it will be up to you whether you can compete with them.
Lin Yao's uncle would definitely not be able to compete. If he could have, he wouldn't have only secured the right to live in the Lin family's villa at that time and ended up with a mere idle position in the company.
Lin Yue was well aware of her father's strength and knew that Lin Yao was speaking the truth. However, she still hesitated; if she lost the bet, her current situation would likely be ruined.
But what if she won?
In fact, healing abilities were quite advantageous. As long as one did not commit heinous crimes, they could generally live well. Hearing this, Lin Yue recalled her healing ability. Due to its special nature, as long as one did not commit particularly evil acts, they would typically not face the death penalty directly.
Lin Yue had done many bad things, but she had not committed any truly heinous acts. Healing abilities were her strongest trump card!
With this thought in mind, Lin Yue made her decision: "Alright, I’ll bet with you!"
"Good, then let’s sign the agreement!"
The agreement verified by Xingwang was recognized by the judiciary. Lin Yue glanced at the terms and confirmed there were no traps before decisively signing it.
Once the agreement was signed and submitted, a large notification appeared: Agreement Successfully Signed.
"Alright, Lin Yue, I'll ask you one more time. Are you absolutely sure you didn't go on the campus forum to find someone to comment and tarnish my reputation?"
"Absolutely!"
"Good, I knew you'd deny it."
Lin Yao directly revealed her chat history with Ma Yan.
Seeing the chat records, Lin Yue's pupils constricted slightly. "Sister, you can't just pull up any random record and claim it's a conversation I had with someone else. That's ridiculous!"
Lin Yao had anticipated her reaction and presented a video next. It showed Ma Yan admitting that Lin Yue had approached him, suggesting he smear Lin Yao's reputation.
"Of course, you can continue to deny this, but Ma Yan even secretly recorded the moments when you were being coy with him. Do you want to see it?"
Ma Yan was a sleazy guy; whether he recorded it for documentation or something else was unclear, but he did capture footage of Lin Yue. However, it wasn't the scene where Lin Yue asked him for help.
Lin Yue didn't dare to look; she was afraid that this sleazy guy might have caught some compromising angles that would embarrass her later.
Thus, she decisively admitted, "Fine, I did mention to him that our relationship wasn't great. But I never directly asked him to help tarnish your reputation in our chats."
Though she was manipulative, she was also somewhat clever.
In situations where evidence could be left behind, she naturally wouldn't say anything incriminating in their conversations; she'd only hint at it indirectly.
That way, even if it were eventually exposed, there would be no proof of her wrongdoing. She had done this countless times without ever slipping up.
Lin Yue's confidence made Lin Yao unable to resist clapping her hands. "I must say, I admire your confidence. However, you've underestimated Ma Yan."
In a male-dominated preparatory military academy, Ma Yan had accumulated a wealth of experience after numerous failures as a seasoned sycophant.
If Lin Yue wanted him to do something bad without offering any benefits in return, why would he agree?
After being coaxed and cajoled without receiving any rewards, he became furious and sought evidence to threaten her.
He possessed a little-known ability called "Attraction," which could be classified as a mental control type.
It allowed him to subtly guide others into revealing their innermost thoughts without them realizing it.
However, this ability was pitifully weak; he found it difficult to use effectively—yet somehow that time it worked perfectly.
Ma Yan left this piece of evidence to manipulate Lin Yue. However, Lin Yao's mental abilities were incredibly powerful. Due to her physical limitations, she could only exert a level four strength, but her past experiences quickly allowed her to recognize Ma Yan's mental abilities.
She secretly used her mental powers to suggest that he hand over all the evidence against Lin Yue. It was then that Lin Yao discovered a surprising revelation within that evidence. If she hadn't had solid proof in her hands, how could she have dared to take such a gamble? She had other options available to her.
However, those alternatives would only expose Lin Yue's true nature without allowing Lin Yao to directly crush their family as she desired. When Lin Yue was confidently swearing her innocence, Lin Yao revealed the video recording of Ma Yan.
This evidence should be enough to nail you down, right?
"No, that's impossible! I never said such a thing!"
