Chapter 74: Return

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Even Tingting was taken aback by Song Yin’s emotional outburst. Everyone simply watched as she cried. This time, Song Yin’s tears were not as restrained as before; her sorrow was evident.

Song Kai approached and said, “Yinyin, you did make a mistake this time, but if you can change, you’re still a good person.”

She fell into Song Kai’s embrace, sobbing loudly as if she had endured a great injustice.

The boys refrained from saying anything further, realizing they had gone too far earlier.

Only Tingting continued to stare at Song Yin with a mocking expression. She believed that this was a calculated move on Song Yin’s part. After spending so much time with her, Tingting had seen through her actions.

Student A approached and said, “Song Yin, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that to you.”

“We didn’t understand what you were going through. Don’t lie again next time, and we’ll take care of you,” Student B added.

Song Yin nodded earnestly. “It’s my fault. Thank you for forgiving me.”

This melodrama concluded with mutual apologies, and for a brief moment, Song Yin felt the warmth of everyone’s forgiveness. Everyone thought that she might have been living in misery all along.

However, when she returned home from school, Song Yin’s smile disappeared, and she scoffed, “What kind of lousy game needs to make an announcement like that? I doubt it’ll last long.”

She had a habit of blaming others and rarely sought to reflect on her own actions.

Recalling all the discomfort she had experienced in class that day, she clenched her teeth in anger and muttered, “It’s all Song Fan’s fault. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t be in this predicament.”

At that very moment, Song Fan inexplicably sneezed repeatedly. An eerie feeling washed over her. Could it be that someone is badmouthing me behind my back?

She shook her head, realizing that dwelling on such thoughts was futile, as there were likely many people criticizing her.

Song Fan rode a bicycle towards the MD building. It was a bicycle she had purchased from a junkyard, intended for single use and disposal, leaving no trace behind.

Before heading out, she had spent considerable time applying makeup to her face. Now, even if Song Kai were to stand right in front of her, he wouldn’t recognize her.

To outsiders, she appeared as a dark, slender boy riding a bicycle. It was a

testament to Song Fan’s exceptional disguise skills.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the MD building, Song Fan concealed the bicycle in the grass, donned a helmet, and prepared to sneak inside. During her previous visit, she had left something behind in the transformer. She gently pressed a switch in her hand, granting her control over the building’s power supply.

When the staff in the control room noticed the screen going blank, they immediately exclaimed, “Quick, inform Mr. Xu that the building has malfunctioned again!”

Ever since the theft of the Tears of the Ocean, these employees remained on high alert, fearful of any potential intrusions into the MD building.

Xu Yuan had attended a bachelor party the previous night and had remained asleep until now. When he was abruptly awakened by his assistant, he was on the verge of losing his temper. “What’s so crucial that you had to disturb my rest?”

“Mr. Xu, there’s a malfunction at the MD building. There’s a voltage issue affecting the entire structure, especially the monitors in the control room,” the assistant reported with a hint of horror in his voice.

Xu Yuan, who had been on the verge of lying back down, immediately sat up and began hurriedly dressing. “When did this issue begin?”

“I just received a report from the building.”

“Tell the driver to hurry over,” Xu Yuan ordered.

As Xu Yuan rushed to the MD building, Song Fan had already infiltrated the core of the facility. Surveying the magnificent collection of treasures, she couldn’t help but sigh, “If any of this goes missing, the people at the MD building might just despair.”

However, Song Fan had no intentions of pilfering anything. She had come here to return the Tears of the Ocean.

If it weren’t for the challenge she had received, she wouldn’t have engaged in theft. Now that she had completed the challenge, there was no need to retain it.

Song Fan made her way to the location where the Tears of the Ocean had originally been placed, only to discover a sizable ruby in its stead. Left with no other option, she carefully positioned the Tears of the Ocean on a glass surface, confident that the MD building’s staff would eventually find it.

Then, she turned and leaped out of the building’s tenth-floor window. Utilizing a rock climbing rope, she safely descended to the ground. This sequence of actions was executed in a matter of moments, nearly as swiftly as a highly trained special forces operative.

Inside the MD building, nobody even caught sight of her. When Xu Yuan arrived, he encountered only disheartened staff.

“Hurry up and conduct an inventory check to see if anything is missing from the building,” Xu Yuan urged, recognizing that this was not the time for reprimands..
