Chapter 883: The Image Stone
Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation
Though Ye Wanwan appeared composed on the outside, her heart was already in turmoil. She kept replaying the scene in the restroom, wondering if she had left behind any incriminating evidence.
However, the more she panicked, the less she could remember. She even began to doubt if there had been anyone else in the restroom with her.
Regardless, at this point, she had no choice but to stick to her story. If she didnt, all the efforts her parents had made to protect her that day would be in vain.
Observing Ye Wanwans silent demeanor, Ye Lengan suddenly chuckled not a cold smirk, but a bright, albeit malicious, smile. Ye Wanwan, you see, I have a peculiar habit. Whenever I find myself in a compromising situation, I always leave behind a little evidence. From the moment I saw you in the restroom, I sensed trouble, so I immediately took out the Image Stone. How about this? Ill reveal everything that happened in the restroom and let everyone judge for themselves. What do you say?
While speaking, Ye Lengan produced a stone the Image Stone.
Similar to mortal world video recorders, the Image Stone could capture images. However, unlike video recorders, it required spiritual energy to function, making it somewhat impractical.
Given the convenience of devices like video recorders and smartphones, the use of Image Stones was rare. It was unexpected that Ye Lengan would employ one.
Ye Wanwans eyes fixated on the Image Stone in Ye Lengans hand, her body trembling involuntarily. She hadnt antic.i.p.ated Ye Lengans cunning move to secretly record everything.
Yet, what terrified her most wasnt her fabricated act but the words she had exchanged with Ye Lengan in the restroom.
If her parents and Murong Xingrui witnessed her state, their image of her would shatter. They would all despise her.
If anyone understood Ye Wanwans current state, it was Murong Xingrui. Sensing her trembling in his embrace, he felt her fear.
With Ye Lengan producing the Image Stone, revealing its contents would provide the best evidence. What was Ye Wanwan afraid of?
Was everything Ye Lengan said true? Was her injury merely a staged act? Was that why she feared being exposed?
Ye Lengan continued to smile brightly. Ye Wanwan, tell me. Shall I reveal everything that happened in the restroom and let everyone see who caused your injury?
No! Ye Wanwan instinctively protested.
Her voice was piercing, her forehead drenched in sweat, her complexion even paler than when she was injured. She was on the verge of collapse, supported only by Murong Xingrui.
Her sharp cry drew everyones attention. Seeing her condition, suspicions arose.
Hehe, whats wrong with you? Ye Lengans mischievous grin widened. Are you afraid to reveal your true self, hence opposing the release of the recording?
Ye Wanwans gaze remained fixed on the Image Stone, panic and tension evident. She wanted to destroy it but knew she lacked the strength. Even if she succeeded, everyone would see her guilt.
She was at a loss, trapped in a dilemma.
Wanwan, whats happening? Zhongyu Jiarui looked at her with concern. Has your injury worsened?
Shut up. Master Zhongyu silenced Zhongyu Jiarui, glaring at her like a fool. From now on, if you utter another word, youll be confined to the family estate. Youll need my permission to leave.
Could this fool not see Ye Wanwans guilt? No one present was nave. They all noticed Ye Wanwans unease since Ye Lengan revealed the Image Stone.
Clearly, the stones contents were d.a.m.ning for Ye Wanwan. Thats why she was nervous and opposed its release.
Regardless of whether Ye Lengan shared the recording, everyone could tell Ye Wanwan had orchestrated her injury.
Only Zhongyu Jiarui, that fool, still believed Ye Wanwan was the victim.
Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhus gazes held disappointment when they looked at Ye Wanwan. They had reached the same conclusion as others.
However, Lian Mengzhu was still reluctant to believe Ye Wanwans actions. She turned to Ye Wanwan. Wanwan, tell me what happened.
Ye Wanwan remained silent, afraid to speak. Everything she said would be wrong.
At this moment, she wished she could faint and escape everything.
But before she could act on this thought, Ye Lengan shattered her reverie. Dont faint, Ye Wanwan. If you do, Ill release all the Image Stone recordings.
Ye Wanwan immediately snapped back to reality, determined not to faint.
