Phoenix A has Gone Viral Across the Entire Internet! - Chapter 12

Yu Mengning let out a smile of relief and whispered to herself, “Old man, I have finally avenged you.”

She did not want to hide or run. Even if the price of avenging her father was losing her freedom for the rest of her life, she would not feel any regret.

Later, Jiang Zhiwan learned that Yu Mengning’s extreme behavior at that time was closely tied to Li Yilin’s long-term psychological manipulation. She had desperately wanted to be free. Intense hatred and physical stress intertwined, driving her actions beyond control.

“Wanwan? Wanwan! Wanwan!”

“Hmm?” When Jiang Zhiwan snapped back to reality, she realized Yu Mengning was leaning right in front of her.

The contrast between the lifeless eyes in her memories and the bright, spirited ones looking at her now was striking. Yu Mengning asked curiously, “Goodness, what were you thinking about so deeply? I called you several times.”

Jiang Zhiwan naturally did not tell her the truth and skillfully brushed it off. As her phone chimed with a notification, she knew the file she had been waiting for had finally arrived.

Before proceeding, Jiang Zhiwan decided to ask, “Ning, what do you think of the Alpha we met tonight?”

Yu Mengning thought for a moment and quickly gave her answer. “He is mediocre. I feel like he has a lot of little schemes. Once you see through them, they seem rather clumsy.”

For example, he had tried every possible way to show off earlier and kept making deliberate attempts to catch her attention. These behaviors were not obvious at first, but after hearing Jiang Zhiwan’s “Heh” as an evaluation, Yu Mengning had paid closer attention and observed him specially.

Hearing this assessment, Jiang Zhiwan nodded and handed the newly received file to her. “You are right. This Alpha indeed has too many schemes.”

Back at the original table, Li Yilin had been waiting for a long time. Seeing that Yu Mengning and the other woman had not returned, he was still pondering his next move. Reality was not following his plan; if this continued, she likely would not give him a second chance.

Where did it go wrong?

Li Yilin narrowed his eyes and shifted his gaze to the ink-colored bird by the table. When Jiang Zhiwan left, she wanted to take the bird with her, but Shen Nian was busy eating dessert and refused to go. Jiang Zhiwan did not want to force her, so she left her there temporarily.

Seeing how smart the little thing had acted earlier, he wondered if it had been specially trained. Feeling a rare sense of curiosity, Li Yilin reached out his hand, wanting to grab it for a closer look.

Shen Nian naturally did not want to be touched by this scumbag Alpha. She immediately flapped her wings and nimbly evaded his hand. Seeing the bird’s clear rejection, a surge of violence rose within Li Yilin. He cursed the little beast in his mind for being ungrateful, and his desire to catch it only grew stronger.

Seeing that Li Yilin had dropped his hypocritical mask and stopped pretending, Shen Nian let out several “Chirp chirp chirp” cries of protest while mentally complaining. Yu Mengning really had poor taste; how could she have taken a liking to such a piece of trash?

According to the original plot of the book, Yu Mengning would be deceived by this Alpha’s refined exterior, only discovering his true cruel and twisted nature after marriage. Not only did he enjoy domestic violence, but he also wantonly abused animals.

Wait, abusing animals? A flash of inspiration hit Shen Nian. She suddenly knew how to ruin this blind date. Calculating the time, the two Omegas should be returning soon. She might as well play the victim to let them see this bastard Alpha’s true colors.

Having made up her mind, Shen Nian acted immediately. Spotting the two empty plates in front of Li Yilin, she charged forward and flipped them over with a clean movement.

This act undoubtedly further enraged Li Yilin, causing his expression to become distorted. Shen Nian estimated that she had provoked him enough and deliberately left an opening, luring the violent Alpha into successfully catching her.

“Ha! Finally caught you, you little beast!”

Li Yilin gripped the bird with one hand while irritably loosening his tie with the other. He thought to himself that this damn bird had opposed him repeatedly tonight and deserved a lesson. He glanced at the boiling hot pot on the table, listening to it bubble, and an idea instantly formed.

He raised the hand holding the parrot high, making a move as if to throw it in. He sneered, “Perfect. I was just thinking about tasting spicy poached live bird.”

Tch, spicy poached live bird? Who are you trying to scare?

Shen Nian thought to herself that although she looked like a lively ink-colored bird to the world, it did not mean she actually was one. Would a dignified Phoenix care about water at this temperature? To her, even if she fell in, it would just be a warm bath. There was nothing to fear. She even planned to turn into a small ball of flame before being released, making sure to burn this scumbag.

Li Yilin was always calculating, so while preparing to teach this mutt of a bird a lesson, he had already thought of an explanation. If a bird likes to fly around wildly, a person naturally cannot control it. Even if it accidentally fell into the hot pot, no one could blame him.

However, his “perfect” crime was halted by the suddenly returning Yu Mengning, who shouted, “Stop!”

Jiang Zhiwan was a step faster. She decisively pressed two pressure points on his wrist, instantly making his arm feel numb and painful. His strength vanished. She then safely caught the dazed little bird.

Everything happened so fast that the bird, once back in safe hands, instinctively let out two chirps.

Shen Nian: Whoa! Nice moves, hero!

Jiang Zhiwan, who understood the nonsensical praise: “…”

Good. It seemed the bird was fine; there was no need to worry about her being frightened.

After confirming the bird was unharmed, Jiang Zhiwan carefully placed her back on her shoulder. She then looked up, staring coldly at the culprit. Even through her sunglasses, the Alpha felt a palpable sense of pressure from her gaze.

However, due to his professional background, Li Yilin had excellent psychological resilience. Even after being caught red-handed, he managed to feign composure. “You two must have misunderstood. I was just playing with the bird.”

Yu Mengning was shocked by his thick skin and interrupted him directly. “Mr. Li Yilin, given what you just did, do you even believe the words coming out of your own mouth?”

Being exposed so mercilessly made Li Yilin’s face turn ugly. When Yu Mengning first saw him, she thought he looked decent, but now the more she looked at him, the more nauseous she felt. She stated plainly, “I do not have any special hobbies, but I truly cannot appreciate an Alpha who wantonly abuses small animals.”

Moreover, according to the information Jiang Zhiwan had just handed her, the man was actually a criminal. Yu Mengning picked up her bag, not wanting to stay a moment longer. “I do not see any point in continuing this blind date.”

Seeing her turn to leave, Li Yilin desperately tried to stop her. “Miss Yu, this really is just a misunderstanding. I had no intention of hurting your friend’s bird.”

He instinctively took a step forward to chase her but was blocked by Jiang Zhiwan, who still had not revealed her full face. Li Yilin looked at her and unconsciously stopped his pace, feeling a lingering ache in the arm where his pressure points had been pressed earlier.
