Chapter 230 “Daisy, are you just going to let this go?”

Although Mona saw that Lu Xiaoyao had been smiling and enduring everything earlier, she understood that it was only temporary.

Someone who could still smile under those circumstances didn’t mean they were willing to just let it go.

So, on the way back to the dorm after school, Mona, with her round, clear blue eyes, couldn't wait to ask her.

Lu Xiaoyao turned her head to look at Mona and said, "Since there's no evidence to prove they did anything wrong, at least I can't get caught, right?"

"You mean?" Mona's eyes lit up, looking at Lu Xiaoyao with excitement, as if encouraging her to say more.

Lu Xiaoyao lived up to her expectations, a triumphant smile on her face, and said, "Who doesn't secretly do bad things? I'm definitely going to make them pay the price."

"What price?"

"Of course, the most precious one." Lu Xiaoyao deliberately spoke ambiguously, but it still made Mona excited.

She thought Lu Xiaoyao's counterattack was especially cool! She even added, "The most precious thing is life!"

"That's right~"

A greasy, sinister smile made Mingmei, who was watching the live broadcast, unconsciously make the expression of a subway grandpa looking at his phone.

"Lu Xiaoyao's acting… only Mona believes it!"

Mingmei closed up shop this evening and returned to her own house to rest. She didn't go out to find the Enforcers tonight, but sat on the balcony on the second floor, with Mu Chen accompanying her, listening to Mingmei's "broadcast."

"What's wrong? Do you think Lu Xiaoyao is lying?"

"Yeah, maybe it's because Lu Xiaoyao hasn't shown herself to be very smart before, but Mona didn't even suspect it."

After all, Mona didn't really know Lu Xiaoyao.

But Mingmei knew that although Lu Xiaoyao usually acted cute and silly with her friends, her IQ gradually came online when it came to serious matters.

Like the time she teamed up with Julian in *Basilisk Train*, if Mu Chen hadn't been there, they might have actually won.

When Lu Xiaoyao became smart, her cute and silly face was actually very deceptive.

It's just that her acting in certain areas needed polishing.

For example, the domineering CEO_(：3」∠)_ If you didn't know better, you'd think Lu Xiaoyao's CEO persona came from a family with oil wells.

"Honestly, if I didn't know Lu Xiaoyao's true nature, I would also think Lu Xiaoyao was being a bit of a psycho in this state. Is she… maybe learning from her brother?"

After Mingmei said this, Mu Chen couldn't help but laugh beside her.

"Are you saying she's imitating Lu Gui?"

"Yeah."

Mingmei nodded, but she became curious again. What was Lu Xiaoyao going to do?

She couldn't really go down a dark path of evil like Mona thought, could she?

So that night, Mingmei deliberately stayed up late, not sleeping, just to see Lu Xiaoyao really get up and leave the room.

Lu Xiaoyao got out of bed and directly picked up the fruit knife from the fruit plate on the table, her face expressionless, her eyes glancing at Mona's bed, then quickly looking away, and tiptoeing out of the room.

[Guigui, switch the perspective for me, I want to see what's happening in Lu Xiaoyao's blind spot.] Mingmei vaguely felt that the direction Lu Xiaoyao was going wasn't right.

Lu Xiaoyao might be able to sense something based on her own feeling, but Mingmei, who was seeing things through Lu Xiaoyao's eyes, didn't have Lu Xiaoyao's intuition to feel for danger in the surroundings.

So, just a second before she slipped into the bathroom, Mingmei saw someone standing in the darkness in the direction she came from behind Lu Xiaoyao's head.

Mona had actually woken up at some point, and she was standing in the middle of the hallway, watching Lu Xiaoyao!

Lu Xiaoyao turned into the women's restroom next door, locked the door, and immediately stuffed the fruit knife she had taken out back into her arms.

She looked up at the ceiling, and just as Mingmei was wondering what Lu Xiaoyao was going to do, she stepped on the sink, dismantled the vent above her head, and climbed in.

In the pitch black, Mingmei discovered that Lu Xiaoyao had actually returned to her own room.

Mingmei: ???

"I knew it…"

When Lu Xiaoyao came out of the bathroom, she saw that the bed next door was empty, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

"She really has bad intentions."

Thinking this, Lu Xiaoyao put the fruit knife under her pillow again, and closed her eyes to sleep as if nothing had happened.

Mingmei didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Guigui, I'm going to sleep now, you help me watch the live broadcast, okay?"

Seeing that Lu Xiaoyao had finished her business for tonight, a wave of sleepiness washed over Mingmei's eyes. Unable to resist the drowsiness, she worried about the second half of the night, so she asked Guigui to stay in the live broadcast room alone.

Guigui: [??!]

Did its AI not have any human rights?

One blink later, it was dawn…

"Ah! Good heavens! Mona, what are you doing? You scared me to death!" As soon as Lu Xiaoyao opened her eyes, she saw Mona standing expressionlessly at the head of her bed. Was this a horror movie come to life?!

"I want to ask you what you're doing… didn't you say you were going to get revenge on those who hurt you last night?"

Mona hesitated, her eyes resentful.

She clearly saw her leave with a fruit knife last night!

Why did… nothing happen?

"Ah, a gentleman takes revenge ten years late. It's only been one night, no rush." Hearing this, Lu Xiaoyao calmly felt for the alarm clock on her bedside and looked at the time. There were still two hours before their class.

It was only seven o'clock. Had Mona not slept all night?

Lu Xiaoyao only dared to think about it in her heart, not asking.

She had gotten up last night and pretended to go out, and it was impossible for her not to notice Mona's staring eyes behind her.

She didn't really think she could take a fruit knife, climb out of the public restroom, and go to the next room to stab someone to death, did she?

No way, no way, no way?

Lu Xiaoyao pulled her blanket over her face again, glancing guiltily at Mona, who had already left her bedside. Seeing that she looked depressed, she asked, "Mona, are you unhappy?"

Mona: ???

Wasn't it obvious?

She had never seen anything like this!

All talk and no action!

Then… what was with the "big show" in the middle of the night, only to come back to sleep quietly?

She hadn't waited for anything.

"Hey, I just think that yesterday's plan was a bit incomplete. If something went wrong, wouldn't I be the one in trouble? I have to think more carefully." Lu Xiaoyao spoke as if in serious consideration, then added sinisterly, "Killing them directly would be too easy for them."

"So, what do you want to do?" Hearing Lu Xiaoyao's words, Mona turned to look at her, her expression much better than before.

"Well, I must make them feel fear, terror, and die in despair…" Lu Xiaoyao racked her brains, thinking about the lines that villains loved to say, "Make them wish they were dead!"

"Sounds pretty good~"

"Right?"

Lu Xiaoyao looked at Mona, who was nodding in agreement, and couldn't help but ask, "Mona, aren't you scared? By me like this…"

Lu Xiaoyao already felt that her lines had crossed her threshold of shame, but no matter how embarrassing they were, they couldn't hide the fact that the content was very criminal. It was also because of this that Lu Xiaoyao understood where Mona's previous sense of disharmony came from.

She didn't seem to have any concept of good or evil.
