If you think the video is fake or edited, I can upload it for verification. However, once the verification confirms the video is genuine, the Star Network will directly rule that you have lost the bet, and this matter will be made public. So tell me, do you want to admit defeat voluntarily, or let the Star Network declare your loss?
Lin Yao placed the truth serum in front of her. "Admit defeat, and you can drink this."
"No!" Lin Yue attempted to swat away Lin Yao's vial but was easily evaded.
Lin Yue was unwilling to concede defeat and shouted, "You did this on purpose! You and Ma Yan set me up to frame me. I never said that!"
Your ability to turn things around is still as strong as ever.
Lin Yao shook her head disapprovingly at her.
"Since your family moved into my villa, you've treated me like this. You abuse me at home, make me act like a servant, force me to live in a storage room, deny me food, and often hit me. Yet outside, you claim to treat me like a master and say I'm too willful, that I refuse to be disciplined and always bully you siblings."
Lin Yao paused, seemingly feeling sentimental or reminiscing.
"You not only abused me but also tried to ruin my reputation and trample me into the mud. For the sake of my assets, you even resorted to dark tactics during the practical exam to kill me. After I barely survived and returned, I didn't want anything to do with your family and tried to avoid you. But you didn't give up; you kept pressing. Since that's the case, I'll send your family away!"
After saying this, Lin Yao decisively poured the truth serum into Lin Yue's mouth.
Of course, Lin Yue wanted to resist; she was no match for Lin Yao.
Once the truth serum was downed, Lin Yao activated the recording mode and began asking her questions about various incidents from their childhood, recording every detail.
Lin Yue could choose to remain silent, but Lin Yao would not allow it.
She had planted small traps during the practical exam just for this opportunity—to completely avenge herself.
Whenever Lin Yue tried to shut her mouth, Lin Yao would poke her with her mental ability.
Eventually, as Lin Yue spoke more and more freely, she gave in completely and started spilling everything like bamboo shoots falling from a tube—answering every question asked.
With Lin Yue's testimony, it could be proven that Uncle Lin's family had been abusing her since childhood.
Lin Yao submitted the evidence directly to the school's legal department and applied for legal assistance to free herself from Uncle Lin's guardianship.
Previously, Lin Yao had secretly collected some evidence as well. Combined with Lin Yue's testimony, they had solid proof.
The powerful legal department of First Middle School not only relieved Lin Yao of Uncle Lin's guardianship but also expelled Uncle Lin's family from the main family's villa.
Even properties and valuable items that had been usurped by Uncle Lin's family were recovered where possible; where recovery wasn't feasible, they demanded compensation in cash.
The good reputation that Uncle Lin's family had built up and their attempts to tarnish Lin Yao’s image were completely reversed after the lawsuit.
Although Lin Yue was still attending First Middle School, due to her character issues and being ostracized by others, she had no choice but to temporarily withdraw from school.
Lin Yao, you have successfully completed your application for legal aid at school. Do you have any other needs?
I have inherited property from my parents, and I have decided to donate it all to the school to support students from impoverished remote planets. I kindly ask the legal department to assist me with this matter again.
The staff at the legal department were somewhat surprised. "Miss Lin, aren't you keeping anything for yourself?"
As for shares and similar assets, given the extensive operations of the Lin family, it would be difficult for Lin Yao to reclaim them on her own. Even if she could, it would come with numerous complications.
"This donation is quite meaningful," she explained. The jewelry and real estate are fixed assets that cannot be taken without Lin Yao's signature. Those can still be reclaimed, and doing so wouldn't pose much trouble.
"No need," she replied. "There’s already so much, and I don't even know how it has been mishandled by others. Reclaiming it wouldn’t hold much significance."
Lin Yao believed that these were remnants left by her parents. For her, it felt undeserved; donating them would be a way for her family to contribute to the Yunmeng Star System. She also hoped that those who benefit from the donation would remember her family kindly.
Upon hearing Lin Yao's explanation, the legal department staff expressed their understanding. The First Middle Court is directly affiliated with the First Military Academy, representing the military.
With the military involved, even the prominent Lin family of Yunmeng Star would find it impossible to contend. Not only would Lin Yao have to relinquish her shares without any discounts, but she would also need to return all income derived from those shares.
Of course, those matters could be discussed later.
After dealing with Lin Yue, Lin Yao asked Zhang Hongyi to edit and release a news article about this situation. The news spread quickly.
Within a day, everyone learned about the fabricated rumors regarding Lin Yao, the only female in the Command Department, which were instigated by Lin Yue from the Ability Department. Although some people didn’t even know who Lin Yao was, that didn’t stop them from discussing the incident fervently.
After learning about the entire situation, several members of the Mingguang Squad rushed over to comfort her.
"Boss, why didn’t you involve me in this? I came all this way just to give you a heads-up!" Meng Xingchen complained discontentedly.
Bai Zhenzhen smacked his head twice and retorted, "What could you have done? You're super strong—could you beat up your opponent without them fighting back? Or are you an eloquent speaker who can outshine a green tea b*tch?"
"I can cheer for the boss and boost our morale!"
"Come on, with Yao Beiluo standing next to the captain, her presence alone can overshadow you tenfold."
As the two were bickering like novices, Zhang Feng wore a serious expression on his honest face. "Captain, even though we might not be able to help you much right now, we will definitely work hard to improve and catch up with your pace as soon as possible!"
"Alright then, military training is just around the corner. I hope all three of you can deliver good results!"
"I will do my best, Captain!"
"Don't worry, boss!"
"Rest assured, I've already passed the special recruitment exam. A little military training is nothing I can't handle!"
