The sky outside had completely darkened, and the moon rose slowly like a silver disc, casting a cold, luminous glow.
Tang An'an walked alone on the pitch-black mountain path, the trees around her casting eerie shadows in the moonlight. Her anxiety grew with each step, and her pace quickened.
As she walked, she suddenly felt her foot give way, as if she had stepped into a trap. Instantly, a large net fell from above, wrapping her tightly within its grasp.
A shadow darted out from behind a tree. Although she couldn't see the person's face clearly, Tang An'an sensed a chilling glint in their eyes that mirrored that of the woman from earlier as she struggled desperately.
"Little girl, let go of your worries about Lu Ziqi. She's dead and gone, but you know too much," the woman said leisurely, her voice slipping out like it was forced through clenched teeth.
Then she pulled out a syringe from her sleeve and expertly filled it with air—Tang An'an remembered hearing in chemistry class that injecting air into a vein could cause a fatal embolism!
Tang An'an became hysterical with fear and shouted, "Your daughter is dead! Don't you want to take revenge for her?"
"Little girl, you've guessed wrong this time. Lu Ziqi is not my daughter; she's the child of my bitch sister," the woman replied, her voice trembling at the mention of that name, as if years of suppressed hatred had suddenly erupted. "She took everything that rightfully belonged to me, so she deserves to die. They all deserve to die!"
"She really is dead." Tang An'an felt a strange calm wash over her as she grasped the truth and tried to keep her voice steady. "Then who is sitting in the classroom now?"
"Since you asked, I don't mind telling you." The woman lowered the syringe, a strange smile creeping onto her face. "That is my daughter, Lu Ziying. They are half-sisters; Ziying is the child of me and Lu Yuancheng. Now we have reclaimed everything that belongs to us!"
"You killed Lu Ziqi?" Tang An'an gasped in shock, her mouth agape as she stared at her with wide eyes filled with disbelief and anger. "You wicked stepmother!"
"Am I heartless? What do you know? Why didn't you call her heartless when my sister took away my first love? When Lu Ziqi squandered money at school, leaving my daughter unable to afford her education, why didn't you say she was heartless?"
The woman's emotions seemed to reach a boiling point, her voice sharp as a blade slicing through the night sky. "Let me tell you, not only did I and my daughter kill Lu Ziqi, but I also pushed my sister off the cliff. They made us wait in vain for ten years; they deserved to die!"
Ten years? The deep-seated hatred must have fermented and twisted over this decade, brewing into a brutality and malice that ordinary people could hardly comprehend.
"Ziying... is indeed much more capable than Lu Ziqi," Tang An'an murmured, her voice tinged with helplessness and a sigh. "But... you could have used other methods..."
"You wouldn't understand." The woman slowly inserted the syringe into Tang An'an's arm, her gaze as cold as an icy pond. "We waited; they should have paid with their lives."
As the woman pushed the plunger, her expression suddenly froze, as if struck by a spell.
Tang An'an watched in horror as the woman's eyes widened, filled with terror and disbelief, before she collapsed straight down in front of her.
Behind the woman appeared Ma Lili's face, holding a bloodied dagger that glinted coldly in the moonlight.
Ma Lili skillfully wielded the dagger, quickly cutting through the ropes and freeing Tang An'an. "An'an, hurry! We need to go; they want to kill Zhu Mingxuan!"
With no time to ask questions, upon hearing Zhu Mingxuan's name, Tang An'an felt a surge of urgency and immediately followed her as they sprinted toward the school.
Their footsteps echoed loudly in the quiet night, like a frantic drumbeat.
By the time they reached the school, it was already late at night. The campus was eerily silent, a dead calm that felt like an abandoned ghost town.
Without saying a word, Ma Lili led Tang An'an straight to the Small Auditorium next to the Administrative Building.
