Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1080: Chapter 637: Beginning to Unravel the Cocoon

Luo Ye picked up the bowl of soup, sniffed it, then put it down, looking playfully at Ouyang Zijing: "From your earlier demeanor, you seemed determined to carry out a hunger strike to the end. So, what happened? Did you change your mind because you saw Xing Nong was going to drink it, and it scared you that much?"

Ouyang Zijing stared at Luo Ye expressionlessly: "That’s right, it’s because Yan Xingnong was going to drink it that I got scared like this. So, are you going to feed me or not?"

"Technically, feeding you wouldn’t be a problem, but from the looks of it, you’re clearly picking a fight with me..." Luo Ye blinked playfully, "Do you think I’ll let you have your way?"

"As a member of the Fierce Tiger squad, you’re on a mission now. Shouldn’t the requirements related to the mission target be executed? Otherwise, wouldn’t it be against the squad’s rules?"

"Tsk tsk, you do know a lot..." Luo Ye leaned forward, staring directly into Ouyang Zijing’s eyes, "However, you seem to overlook some facts. First, you’re not a hostage I’m supposed to protect. Second, you’re currently guilty. Do I still need to abide by the squad’s rules for you?"

"Don’t you want to exonerate Feng Tianzhi?" Ouyang Zijing scrutinized Luo Ye’s expression, speaking slowly, "If it weren’t for you, he wouldn’t have treated me that way. Or do you want to bear the reputation of being heartless and unjust?"

"What’s false can’t become true, and what’s true can’t be false. There are some things you can’t gamble on." Luo Ye gently tapped the table, "Guess why I scheduled myself to take care of you?"

"Could you not come?"

Luo Ye nodded affirmatively: "Of course!"

"Why can you?" Ouyang Zijing’s eyes were full of doubt.

"Is there a need to ask? Do you really consider yourself someone important?" Luo Ye looked at her amusingly, "Given your status, the logistics of Fierce Tiger could take care of you..."

Ouyang Zijing quickly interrupted her: "If that’s truly the case, why not just send the logistics?" As she spoke, a mocking smile appeared at the corners of her lips, "Do you really think I’m an idiot?"

"I don’t think you’re an idiot; I just want to tell you that doing it this way is to keep this matter contained within a small circle to avoid affecting the Ouyang family’s reputation." Luo Ye glanced at her belly, "For instance, who is the father of the child in your belly? I believe many would be interested in this question, and then... do I need to spell out the outcome?"

"Trying to get information out of me?" Ouyang Zijing snorted coldly, looking at Xing Nong, "I want to drink the soup!"

"Too late..." Xing Nong picked up the bowl, touched it to her hand, quickly brought it to her own mouth, and gulped it all down, "It’s already cold, you can’t drink it. To avoid waste, I’ll have to finish it." She glanced at the clock on the wall, "Dinner will be ready soon, so don’t act up again, or you’ll just keep being hungry."

There’s still three hours and forty-five minutes until dinner, yet she says dinner time is coming soon? And the soup was still a bit warm when the bowl touched her fingers earlier. Now she claims it’s completely cold... Ouyang Zijing, with her stomach empty, was almost about to faint from anger, pointing at Yan Xingnong, her lips trembling, unable to utter a word for a long time.

"Don’t worry, I won’t get sick from drinking cold soup, no need for concern..." Xing Nong tucked her hand back under the bed covers, "This sort of thing is commonly known as a ’small confinement,’ and it’s quite hard on the body. You should rest well; Luoluo and I will be just outside the door, so call us if you need anything."

The Fierce Tiger’s infirmary differs from a hospital’s, with monitoring from outside the door. Regardless of whether Ouyang Zijing was willing or not, Xing Nong pulled Luo Ye outside, muttering, "Trying to act up with me? You’re too green for that."

Luo Ye’s lips curved into a beautiful smile: "True, acting up is usually Hu Qiu’s job."

Xing Nong shot her a glance, "Annoying!"

"Alright, I’m annoying." Luo Ye glanced at the time, "You keep watch first, I’m going to make a call."

Xing Nong puckered her lips in displeasure: "Go ahead, always being so secretive. Who knows what you’re up to."

"I’m planning to call Zhan Hao and the others to ask how the investigation is going." Luo Ye smiled and pinched her nose jokingly, "Jealous? Even Nuonuo can’t compare with you."

Xing Nong laughed like a blooming flower: "Go on then, I thought you were going to entertain the night school scams again. I’m just disappointed you don’t reach your potential, what does that have to do with being a vinegar jar?"

"You..." Luo Ye shook her head helplessly, turned around to leave, and almost collided with Zhao Qianqian who rushed over, quickly stepping aside, "Luo Ye, Captain Feng has been demoted and put on probation, what should we do?" Zhao Qianqian’s voice was quavering with sobs.

Luo Ye frowned: "The notice came?"

"Yes..." Zhao Qianqian lowered her head, "I’m really sorry, I know I was wrong..."

"Did you go to Director Lei to take responsibility?"

"Yes." Zhao Qianqian bowed her head even lower, "As a result, today the notification came, do you think it’s my fault that Captain Feng was punished so quickly?"

"Do you really think that’s possible?" Luo Ye retorted.

Zhao Qianqian hesitated: "It doesn’t seem likely."

"Then it’s settled." Luo Ye sighed softly, "I know you mean well for Captain Feng, but this matter absolutely isn’t as simple as it appears on the surface.

That day, I didn’t stop you because I knew that even if I did, it would be useless. Some things need to be done, and you need to see the results before you can truly give up."

"I’m sorry..." Zhao Qianqian cried softly, "Actually, I regretted it as soon as I left Director Lei. I could tell from his eyes that he didn’t believe what I said at all.

Moreover, by doing that, Director Lei would surely think that Captain Feng sent me, and that’s why the punishment decision came so quickly. It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault for messing things up..."

Ouyang Family Study Room.

"Dad, the way you’re handling things, you’re obviously making enemies of our family with the Ye Family, the Feng Family, and the Wen Family. Dad, you said... you... sigh!" Ouyang Qingfeng looked at Mr. Ouyang, who was happily sipping from a small teapot, feeling utterly helpless.

That day, Mr. Ouyang came home and was in high spirits. Indeed, the news came that Feng Tianzhi was suspended. With the temper of the Feng family elder, unless the sun rises from the west, they will certainly make trouble for the Ouyang family.

Mr. Ouyang put down the teapot: "Why so anxious? Zijing is our family’s lucky star. If we don’t save her, how can we manage?"

"Lucky star? I can’t see where the luck is; more like a disaster star." Ouyang Qingfeng muttered quietly.

"What did you say?"

Ouyang Qingfeng raised his voice: "I said, next we’ll be waiting for the revenge of the major families. Dad, who are you asking for help? Can you give a hint?"

"Don’t worry about it so much. If they’re bold enough, let those families go ahead." Mr. Ouyang leaned back comfortably and began to hum "Shajia Bin."

Ouyang Qingfeng shook his head helplessly and left, realizing that measuring Mr. Ouyang’s thoughts with normal standards was impossible. You could say he’s confused, but some things he handles are well-planned. But say he’s clear-headed, he disregards the survival of the Ouyang family for Ouyang Zijing.

No matter who he’s seeking help from, the stance is set, and the enmity is established... It’s evident that the other party knows Mr. Ouyang’s temperament very well, deliberately bringing the news of Ouyang Zijing’s mishap to him... And those who know about Mr. Ouyang falling ill... actually quite a few, making it feel impossible to know where to start...

...

Luo Ye arrived at Feng Tianzhi’s office when he was packing up. Seeing her enter, he put down his things and pointed to the sofa: "Just in time, I was going to find you." Then, he handed her a piece of paper, "This is the notice appointing you as acting captain, let’s hand over."

"There’s not much to hand over, what you know, I basically know too..." After a pause, Luo Ye looked at him seriously, "Captain Feng should know, this appointment paper isn’t exactly good news. Clearly, someone is waiting to catch my mistake and join forces with you."

"Then you need to pull yourself together and not let the opponent succeed." Feng Tianzhi leaned back comfortably on the sofa, "I happen to be a bit tired and want to rest, it’s like a dream come true."

Luo Ye hesitated for a moment: "And school, also suspended?"

Feng Tianzhi nodded, "Yes."

"Got it." Luo Ye stood up, "I have something to do, I’m leaving first."

"Wait..." Feng Tianzhi suddenly got serious, "Luo Ye, don’t run around being busy for me, I won’t appreciate it. I’m still saying what I said: I’m tired and want to rest. This time, it’s what I’ve wanted. So, you just need to do a good job as captain and seize the opportunity."

"I didn’t plan to be busy for you; I honestly have things to do..." Luo Ye’s lips curled into a perfect arc, "Captain Feng seems to be overconfident." After taking a few steps, she turned back with a light laugh, "I guess Ouyang Zijing will keep accusing me because I didn’t give her lunch, haha..."

Feng Tianzhi rubbed his head, suddenly feeling uncertain if this was the right move. Not contesting or questioning and letting the opponent succeed, hoping to give Little Ye’er a chance to experience. But, seeing the current situation, he suddenly felt a bit regretful...

...

Ouyang Family Side Hall.

"Brother, what should we do?" Ouyang Qingyue looked worriedly at her elder brother, "Dad caused such a mess, should we follow suit or find another way? Do you have a plan?"

"Let me think about it more."

Ouyang Qingyue furrowed her brows: "If you think more, there will be no way out."

"Knock knock knock..."

"Come in!"

Nanny Li walked in, "Good day, eldest master, fourth young lady, a girl is seeking audience. She said her name is Luo Ye, and instructed me to inform the eldest master."
