The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress

He had just finished his work, passing along rows of tall machinery on his way out. Approaching a steel door, he swiped his fingerprint and the doors opened from both sides.

He stepped out while taking off the blue radiation suit.

His hands, defined by distinct knuckles, casually carried the garment.

The lights in the lab were always on, casting a cold hue on his skin, making his complexion even paler.

The smartphone in his pocket rang.

It was Chi Yundai.

He glanced down, swiped to answer.

“Mr. Jiang,” even through the phone, Chi Yundai couldn’t help but stand up from his chair, he put down his pen, “There’s something happening online.”

He went through the events, reporting everything to Jiang Fulai.

Jiang Fulai paused mid-step, his focus always different from ordinary people, “Netizens are saying that question is hard?”

Chi Yundai: “…Yes.”

“I got it.” Jiang Fulai arrived at his rest room, pushed the door open carelessly, switched on the lights, and turned on the computer to check the messages online—not caring about the issue with Xingyi Martial Arts School or Chi Yundai.

But concerning Bai Lian, his light-colored eyes fixated on one comment—

[Miss Bai sure knows how to put on a show with Student Ning.]

Jiang Fulai, with an indifferent look in his eyes, typed out a string of code and deleted that comment; then he messaged Bai Lian—

[What are you doing?]

Bai Lian replied succinctly, sending him a picture: [Picture]

She was writing a cipher.

Bai Student: [You type so coldly.]

Feeling his anger even through the text, Jiang Fulai stopped for a moment. He didn’t mention the situation online, only replied—

[The people at the institute are fools.]

Bai Student: [Try to understand them.]

Jiang Fulai replied to her: [Oh.]

He finished typing lazily, his gaze at the computer screen was exceptionally cold as he clicked open Zhao Lu’s WeChat.

The next day, seven in the morning.

Most people had just woken up, preparing for work.

Lou Yang donned his mask, surrounded by a group of assistants as he stepped out.

The agent hung up the phone, smiling at him, “The crew of ‘The Ballad of the Green Hills’ sent a message last night, they want you to audition next week.”

Lou Yang’s side had communicated with ‘The Ballad of the Green Hills’ before, but they hadn’t agreed; they preferred Mei Yi’s acting and popularity.

Their agreement today was only due to Valuing Lou Yang’s current popularity.

It was just then that Lou Yang’s phone rang—it was his boss.

Lou Yang answered immediately, and without waiting for him to speak, the boss exploded with curses, “Lou Yang, have you lost your mind, riding the wave of any trend? I’ve told you not to provoke the people from ‘Come Here Friend,’ didn’t you listen? What are you going to do now?”

Lou Yang faltered; he had tacitly approved of last night’s event.

Upon hearing his boss’s words, he sensed trouble and stopped to check his phone.

“What happened?” The agent looked at him puzzled.

Lou Yang shook his head without speaking and just opened Weibo. The app was slow to respond, so he waited a moment before proceeding, “Check what Yan Lu’s side has done…”

The trending searches had changed to “Zhao Jingzhou” and “Jingjiang Preparatory Camp.”

As the larger online community continued to indulge in the spectacle, Yan Lu’s fans mourned in their groups, saying they didn’t believe it and awaited Yan Lu’s denial.

But the night passed without any word from Yan Lu.

Even at six in the morning, she posted a Weibo of the sun, driving her fans to despair.

It was only then that Yan Lu retweeted three posts, and her fans, with a doomsday mentality, clicked in.

The first post she retweeted—

was ‘Come Here Friend’ official account reposting and commenting on Strawberry Ice Cream’s post: [Picture] Let’s congratulate Master Xu He on joining Xingyi Martial Arts School.

The picture showed Xu He’s sixth dan certificate.

The second post—

Zhao Jingzhou reposted and commented on Strawberry Ice Cream’s post: [Chi Lu is my teacher.]

He was always succinct.

The third post—

Jiangjing Research Institute reposted and commented on Strawberry Ice Cream’s post: [Screenshot] Let’s introduce to everyone, this is the app for the Jiangjing University Preparatory Camp.

Jiangjing University Preparatory Camp?

What’s that?

Ordinary people had never even heard of this app.
