79: Being Followed

Being Followed

"Even if you lose the lawsuit, you don't have to go to jail." Mrs. Zhao said unhappily, "Under normal circumstances, you won't be sentenced to jail for defamation. At most, we will compensate for her loss and apologize publicly."0

"That's good." Zhao Yanran let out a sigh of relief, but she was very dissatisfied. "You still want me to apologize to Ye Leng'an! I don't want to."

"What are you thinking about?" Mrs. Zhao couldn't help but poke Zhao Yanran's forehead with her finger. "Although you're still underage, you're already 16 years old. If you're really convicted, you'll have a criminal record. What are you going to do in the future with this in your file?"

"What?" Zhao Yanran became visibly nervous. She pulled on Mrs. Zhao's arm and said anxiously, "Mom, what should we do now? I definitely can't lose the lawsuit. I don't want to have a criminal record."

"Now you are afraid." Mrs. Zhao snapped, "Then why were you so arrogant at Ye Leng'an's house just now? I wanted to persuade her to drop the case, but you ruined everything."

"Mom, don't scold me anymore. I didn't do it on purpose." Zhao Yanran pursed her lips and said aggrievedly, "You saw it just now. Ye Leng'an clearly didn't plan to let me off. No matter how good my attitude is today, she won't be willing to give up! Since that's the case, why should I lower my head?"

"There's no other way now." Mrs. Zhao sighed, and a dark light flashed in her eyes. "There's only one way left now. If it doesn't work, I'm afraid you'll really be doomed this time."

"What is it?" Hearing Mrs. Zhao's words, Zhao Yanran's eyes lit up.

"She can reject us, but there's always someone she can't reject!"

On the other side, after Ye Leng'an sent them away, she went straight into the alchemy room and started concocting the antidote to the toxin in Chen Hailan's body.

Although the toxin that Chen Hailan was poisoned with was rare, it was not that complicated. Therefore, in less than half a day, Ye Leng'an had already developed the antidote.

However, after developing the antidote, she did not rush to inform Chen Kang and the others. Instead, she calmed down and took out her book.

She had told the principal before that she wanted to study at home. She was not all talk, but she really planned to take advantage of this time to do the Mathematical Olympiad questions. Although she was very confident in herself, it had been a long time since she was a student. To be honest, it was two lifetimes apart. Therefore, she felt that she still needed to brush up.

Unlike others, Ye Leng'an only picked up her book and flipped through it casually. If someone saw this, they would definitely not think that the person in front of them was studying. After all, no one studied in such a superficial way.

In fact, Ye Leng'an remembered everything at just one glance. Furthermore, she was able to draw inferences immediately. This was also thanks to her current abundant spiritual energy. She was really able to get better results with less effort in her studies.

It was already evening. Ye Leng'an stretched her body and looked at her watch. Then she decided to go out and buy some food.

Although she had refined quite a number of Fasting Pills, even if she did not eat anything, she could still use Fasting Pills to replenish herself. This was what she had done in the cultivation world. However, after she was back in the 21st century, she did not like this method anymore. She still wanted all kinds of delicacies, not only to appease her hunger but also to satisfy her appetite.

Not long after she left the neighborhood, Ye Leng'an felt someone following behind her.

Her lips curled into a cold smile and there was a gleam in her eyes. Apparently, the people behind her only treated her as an ordinary high school student! Otherwise, those lousy people wouldn't have been sent over. They didn't even know how to hide.

But they only followed her and did not do anything else. It seemed that she still had to give them a chance! Otherwise, how would she know the person behind them?

The smile on Ye Leng'an's face widened when she thought about it. She walked into an isolated alley.

The people who had been following her looked at each other when they saw that she was moving toward a quieter area. Then, they speed up to follow behind her.

After turning into a small alley, the two people who had been following Ye Leng'an quickly stepped forward and blocked her path.

Ye Leng'an didn't scream or run when she was suddenly stopped. Instead, she calmly turned around to find there were another three people behind her. Right now, she was surrounded by five people.

She couldn't help but feel a little puzzled when staring at them. Did the person behind them think highly of or look down on her? If the person thought highly of her, why these lousy people were sent here? However, if that person looked down on her, she was now sieged by five men. There was no need to send so many people here to deal with an ordinary high school girl.
