Chapter 117: Feeling Slightly Targeted

Ruan Cha considered for a few seconds, then smiled, "Alright."

Li Junmei’s expression shifted from fear to sheer terror. Her eyes bulged, "Ruan Cha, you are so cruel!"

Before she could finish shouting, Ling Jiu grabbed her chin and forced a bottle of medicine down her throat.

The burning liquid slid down Li Junmei’s throat.

She struggled and cried out a few times at first.

Then her voice began to grow hoarse.

Before long, she lost her voice entirely.

Ruan Cha’s lips curled into a smile devoid of any warmth.

She waved her hand.

Ling Jiu and the others quickly disappeared into the alley with Li Junmei.

Watching the scene unfold, Yun Zhe’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. His face turned ashen, and his hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.

"You… Ruan… Ruan Cha, did you really make Teacher Li mute?"

Ruan Cha cast a cold glance at the trembling Yun Zhe, her eyes filled with a silent, "So what if I did?"

"How could you do such a thing? She’s a person—a living human being! If she can never speak again, it’s like she’s been crippled!" Yun Zhe felt as if his blood vessels were about to burst.

He could never have imagined that this seemingly innocent and naive girl could be so ruthless and merciless.

Ruan Cha sneered upon hearing his words.

"None of your business."

Yun Zhe was relentless. "Even if Teacher Li scolded you and wronged you on this exam, she never caused you any real harm. But you destroyed her voice. Ruan Cha, how can your heart be so wicked?"

"Get lost." Annoyed by Yun Zhe’s nagging, Ruan Cha’s patience snapped.

Her eyes turned icy as she glared at him. "Appearance unknown, no comment."

With that, she turned and walked away.

Yun Zhe hurried after her. "Ruan Cha, you’ve truly disappointed me!"

Ruan Cha’s expression remained calm as she walked ahead.

If she were soft-hearted, she would have been the one dead long ago.

In this world, kindness does not earn you mercy.

The second live broadcast of "Falling for You" arrived in the blink of an eye.

This time, Ruan Cha effortlessly convinced Gu Zhenzhi to join her for the recording.

To prevent Gu Jiayan from sabotaging things behind the scenes and harming Gu Zhenzhi, Ruan Cha learned that the production team planned to replace the internet celebrity couple.

Immediately, she arranged for the burly man who wept and battered himself for her, still loyal despite all the pain she caused him, to step in.

---

The burly man’s name was Shirik.

He was a European with half Asian blood.

After Ruan Cha, Gu Zhenzhi, Ruan Wei, and Gu Jiayan arrived at the filming site, the director came over to greet Ruan Cha.

"Miss Ruan Cha, I didn’t expect your results to be so outstanding. To top the hellish exam at Mo City No. 2 Middle School is truly astounding! You must have worked incredibly hard for this."

Ruan Cha blinked her bright eyes. "Not really. I learned all this a long time ago. It’s too easy, so I didn’t even review."

Ruan Wei and Gu Jiayan, standing not far away, exchanged glances: "…"

They felt personally criticized.

Shortly after, the official filming began, and the director introduced two new guests.

"These two new guests came individually and were paired by the production team as a mock couple. Let’s give a warm welcome to Shirik and Sheng He!"

Everyone’s eyes turned toward the entrance.

Before long, Shirik and Sheng He stepped into view.

Shirik was tall and strong, standing at one hundred eighty-five centimeters, with striking, bold features.

Sheng He exuded an outstanding aura, her face that of a cool international supermodel, slender and graceful.
