Wei Lai, assuming that Wen Nian was about to plead for mercy, remained unaware of the fear etched on Wen Nian’s face. Nonetheless, she responded with a sense of magnanimity, saying, “Go ahead, speak your mind.”

Wen Nian’s expression remained devoid of emotion as she spoke, “This sentence is…”

Both Wei Lai and Jiang Ning were engrossed in anticipation of Wen Nian’s words. However, in a sudden burst of action, Wen Nian forcefully yanked Wei Lai’s hand free, revealing her wrist. With a surge of determination, she rose to her feet and exerted all her strength to lift the door, causing audible cracks to echo through the air.

Despite having a multitude of tasks to accomplish, Wen Nian swiftly executed them all within a mere second, catching both herself and others off guard by the speed of her actions.

A startled cry of “Ah!” escaped Wei Lai’s lips, reverberating throughout the bathroom.

The cleaning lady, upon witnessing the commotion, shook her head in disappointment. “Sigh, 1 don’t know who managed to upset the higher-ups. It’s such a pity. All I can do is make sure to come in early tomorrow to clean up the mess.”

Reacting swiftly to the situation, Jiang Ning hastily splashed the water towards Wen Nian. Despite Wen Nian’s quick reflexes, she couldn’t entirely avoid it, resulting in some water splashing onto the door and staining her clothes.

Wen Nian’s gaze shifted from the marks left by the water droplets to Jiang Ning, and a slight frown formed on her face. As she lifted her gaze, a glimmer of anger and resentment filled her eyes, giving Jiang Ning a chilling, murderous stare.

Under Wen Nian’s intense and menacing gaze, Jiang Ning’s nerves tightened, and she swallowed nervously. The sudden realization of the pain in her waist resurfaced, causing discomfort and a sense of unease to course through her body once again.

Wen Nian, harboring a composed demeanor, retrieved their phone discreetly from behind a small green plant on the sink and paused the recording. Speaking in a hushed tone, she called out to Wei Lai inside the restroom, “Come out here.”

Having witnessed Wen Nian’s formidable martial prowess, Wei Lai, aware of her own injuries, cautiously lowered her injured right hand and pressed her back against the door. She defiantly declared, “Dream on. I know exactly what you’re planning. You want to attack me, don’t you? I’m not naive. I won’t step outside!”

Wen Nian clicked on the video and started playing the footage of the recent events. The audio clearly captured the conversation that had taken place inside the bathroom.

After playing the video once, Wen Nian spoke calmly but with an underlying threat, “If you refuse to come out, I will upload this video online for everyone to see how the daughters of the Jiang and Wei families bully others. Furthermore, 1 will expose the poor security measures at Wei Corporation’s high-end department store. It’s ironic that despite my substantial spending here, my personal safety cannot be ensured. Once this video is posted, I’m confident that people will reassess the strength of the Wei Corporation. It would be wise for shareholders to divest their stocks promptly.”

Upon hearing Wen Nian’s words, a cold sweat broke out on Wei Lai’s forehead. The realization dawned on her that the entire Wei family was well aware of their actions. Her grandfather, in particular, held numerous methods to deal with anyone who dared to compromise the company’s interests.

Wei Feng’s authority and power within the Wei family were unparalleled, and no one dared to challenge him. As Wei Lai contemplated her options, she realized that opening the door was the only choice she had in order to avoid the severe consequences that awaited her if she continued to defy Wen Nian’s demands.

Wen Nian’s face lit up with a satisfied smile and she nodded approvingly. “It would have been much easier if you had cooperated from the beginning. Now, throw your phones on the ground behind you.”

Jiang Ning regarded Wen Nian warily, her voice tinged with caution. “What do you want from us? Can you guarantee that you’ll delete the video once we comply with your demands?”

Wen Nian’s gaze turned cold as she stared at both of them. She spoke with an air of authority, “Understand the power dynamics in this current situation. Not only have I informed certain reporters about the previous incident, but I also have the ability to get them to release the news immediately. Trust me, they would be more than eager to report such explosive information.”

Upon realizing that Wei Lai held the upper hand in this situation, she promptly made a decision. Without hesitation, she threw her phone over as requested by Wen Nian.

Jiang Ning’s anger simmered within her, questioning why she always felt so oppressed when confronted by Wen Nian. However, her concerns for her family’s business weighed heavily on her mind, fueling her worry about the potential repercussions.

Her parents doted on her and would undoubtedly go to great lengths to protect her. However, Jiang Ning couldn’t bear the thought of her parents’ hard-earned career being jeopardized because of her actions.

Wen Nian showed no urgency in picking up the phone. Instead, he observed both of them closely and remarked, “You two seemed prepared to confront me, considering the way you splashed water on each other with a basin. The result? You ended up soaking yourselves.”

Wen Nian came to a realization that those who engaged in wrongdoing often exhibited double standards. Today, this person had provoked her twice in a row, yet each time, they were outmatched and defeated by her. In the end, they even tried to shift the blame onto her.

Since the other party remained unyielding and unreasonable, Wen Nian decided to let the matter go. After all, she had her own priorities, including completing her test papers, unlike the seemingly carefree lives of these privileged daughters.

Wen Nian clenched her fist, feeling the tension in her fingers, and retrieved an all-purpose baton from her bag.

Jiang Ning shouted in fear, “Murder is against the law!”

Wen Nian took two steps forward and hit Jiang Ning in the neck. The other party fainted and fell to the ground. “1 gave you a chance.”

Wen Nian’s voice was so soft that it sounded like she was talking to herself.

When Wei Lai caught sight of Wen Nian’s presence, it felt as if a harbinger from the netherworld had descended upon her, intent on taking her life.

Overwhelmed by fear, she hastily grabbed the hand sanitizer from the sink and recklessly hurled it at Wen Nian, without concern for the consequences..
