After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 57: Physical Evidence

An Siqi didn’t react immediately, her eyes betraying a hint of fear, and even guilt.

How did she know?

Shi Yaoguang reached out and patted her shoulder, speaking earnestly, "Siqi, considering our friendship, I advise you... to turn back before it’s too late."

An Siqi hesitated, "What do you mean?"

"Are you dumb? My brother Shi’s advising you to turn yourself in."

Cheng Lingdang showed a look of disdain, "Can’t even understand plain speech, and you still want to scheme against my brother Shi? Dream on!"

An Siqi: "..."

Is this person a troublemaker or what?

Shi Yiqing wasn’t sure if Shi Yaoguang actually knew something or was just bluffing as she declared righteously, "Sister, we must speak with evidence!"

"Justice is not free from human feelings." Shi Yaoguang suddenly said something that seemed out of context.

To An Siqi, those words meant that she had no evidence.

An Siqi immediately got carried away, her spine straightened, and her gaze at Shi became even more haughty, "You better explain yourself clearly, why are you slandering me on purpose! If you don’t clarify, I won’t forgive you easily."

Shi Yaoguang slowly curved her lips into a smile, "Siqi, what do you want for you to forgive me?"

Seeing her so humble, An Siqi felt even more triumphant.

Not caring about the presence of others, she demanded outright, "Just give me one million, and I’ll forgive you."

"One million?" Shi Yaoguang appeared troubled.

An Siqi let out a snort, "Is that too much?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded, playing the part of the aggrieved little wife to perfection.

An Siqi sneered, "Don’t tell me you can’t even come up with one million. You might fool others with that, but I won’t believe you."

"I really don’t have any money..." Shi Yaoguang remained the apparently weaker party.

An Siqi became more aggressive, "Don’t give me those excuses, you know whether you have money or not."

Cheng Lingdang couldn’t stand it anymore, "Who are you trying to intimidate with that arrogance?"

An Siqi shot her a glare, "What business is this of yours?"

"Anything concerning my brother Shi is my business!" Cheng Lingdang decisively positioned herself in front of Shi Yaoguang.

Shi Yaoguang looked at her, a hint of amusement in her eyes.

She was indeed a promising asset she’d had her eyes on, not bad at all.

Cheng Lingdang noticed her smiling and couldn’t help but smile too.

An Siqi thought she was a fool, "What’s so funny?"

Having said that, she adopted an even more condescending attitude towards Shi Yaoguang, "One million, not a penny less!"

Shi Yaoguang nodded, took out her phone, and displayed her balance.

"When I said I had no money, I was actually lying to you."

An Siqi nodded furiously, she saw it, there were eight zeros!

Such an amount was rare in a lifetime!

No, she had never even seen that much!

Just thinking about Shi Yaoguang having so much money and only asking for one million made her feel uncomfortable.

Seeing her greedy expression, Shi Yaoguang knew what she was thinking, "What’s the matter, you think one million is too little?"

An Siqi nodded vigorously, her tone filled with resentment, "I’m supposed to be your best friend. You have so much money, and you only give me one million, do you still consider me a friend?"

"No, I don’t."

An Siqi was startled, "What?"

"You are my best friend, how could I possibly give you one million?"

As soon as Shi Yaoguang finished speaking, a look of joy crossed An Siqi’s face.

If not one million, then how much?

Thinking about how she was about to get rich, her gaze at Shi Yaoguang transformed.

Shi Yaoguang curled her lip, her tone laced with a hint of seduction, "Siqi, why are you looking at me like that?"

An Siqi, thinking about her impending wealth, began to breathe rapidly, her lips dry, yearning to declare to the entire world that she was going to be rich any second now.

However.

Just one sentence from Shi Yaoguang shattered her daydream back to reality.

"I have money, but I won’t give you a penny."

Upon hearing this, An Siqi’s eyes reddened.

She was angry and annoyed.

She had already pictured her rich life, so why did Shi Yaoguang say she wouldn’t give her anything?

"Do you think just because I have money, I should give some to you?"

An Siqi nodded, feigning a close friendship, "I am your best friend after all!"

"Yes, you’re my best friend, who pushed all the problems onto me after the live broadcast incident."

"That’s because I thought you were a wealthy heiress! Such a small matter, you could solve it with just a few words..."

Cheng Lingdang couldn’t stand her sense of entitlement, "How can you be so shameless? You create a problem and don’t think about solving it, but know only to pass the blame?"

"My sister Yaoguang is amazing, what’s that got to do with you? She could easily solve these issues, but why should she clean up your mess?"

Unable to resist retorting, An Siqi said, "We are best friends! Isn’t it what best friends do, to help each other out?"

"Best friends? You?"

With a look of disdain, Cheng Lingdang scanned her from head to toe, "A ’best friend’ like you is really more than the average person can handle."

As she spoke, she turned to Shi Yaoguang with hopeful eyes, "Yaoguang, don’t be fooled by her, it’s obvious she’s not a good person!"

An Siqi didn’t dare to mess with Shi Yaoguang, but she wasn’t so courteous with Cheng Lingdang.

Just as she was about to teach her a lesson, she heard Shi Yaoguang say, "Lingdang comes from a prestigious Capital City household. Siqi, you might want to check your finances before you lay a hand on her, in case she gets hurt and you can’t afford the medical bills."

An Siqi immediately backed down.

The hand she’d extended quietly retracted.

Shi Yiqing, however, was skeptical, "How could someone from a prestigious Capital City household end up here?"

Cheng Lingdang replied, "This miss just loves to go undercover incognito. Is it any of your business?"

Taken aback, Shi Yiqing couldn’t quite determine if she was telling the truth.

"Ding dong—"

The phone in Shi Yaoguang’s hand suddenly rang.

Only then did Shi Yiqing remember her phone was still with the other party.

She reached out to take back her phone, but Shi Yaoguang deftly dodged.

"Give me back my phone!"

Shi Yaoguang tilted her head, refusing, "I can’t do that."

Shi Yiqing was very dissatisfied, "On what grounds are you taking my phone?"

"On the grounds that... it’s evidence."

"Evidence?"

"Yes."

She said, taking the lead towards the principal’s office.

Reluctantly, Shi Yiqing and the others followed.

People in the principal’s office were still investigating the destruction of the examination papers in the archives room.

Seeing Shi Yaoguang, the principal felt a premature sense of hair loss.

Fearing that she would stir up more trouble.

As he hesitated whether to find an excuse to slip away, he heard Shi Yaoguang’s resounding declaration, "Principal, I’ve found evidence of the destroyed test papers."
