The Host Has Fallen for the Second Female Lead Again - Chapter 57

When Xiao Ye left, he was covered in injuries, but he didn’t get too angry. He just glared at Ji Mingxiao a few times.

“Looks like you won’t be able to tear my mouth off in the future.” Ji Mingxiao stood to the side, raising an eyebrow.

“We’ll meet again.” Xiao Ye said before getting into the car.

Ji Mingxiao estimated that this person wouldn’t be coming out again for the next few days.

After Zhao Yuan entered the detention center, a number of other people were successively arrested and brought in.

He looked at the younger generations with a calm expression on his face.

He felt that he wouldn’t just fall from grace like this, and neither would the Zhao family. There must be another way.

Zhao Yuan leaned against the wall.

He and Country Yi chose to cooperate on Yunxing because Yunxing hated the Alliance to the bone and would definitely not report any unusual movements to the Alliance.

It was very safe, but who knew… Xiao Ye, short on manpower, would go and kidnap students from the Alliance, and just so happened to capture Ji Mingxiao.

If it weren’t for Ji Mingxiao, he felt that things wouldn’t have turned out this way.

Those students would have disappeared in the interstellar space.

Zhao Yuan took a deep breath, feeling a little irritated.

The Lin family was indeed their nemesis.

He still felt that something was not right. Some things had clearly been hidden and dealt with, and shouldn’t have been uncovered.

Zhao Yuan’s eyes narrowed.

There were also traitors within the Zhao family.

When the Zhao family members were being taken away, Zhao Kou stood not far away, leaning against a tree, with a look of schadenfreude in his eyes.

His mother was thrown out of the house like an animal, and now these people were being arrested and taken away like animals.

Zhao Kou smirked. Evil begets evil.

Ever since the incident broke out, people around him would look at him with a look of pity, but he didn’t care at all, and he wished that the Zhao family would fall even faster.

When Ji Mingxiao returned to the villa, she immediately saw a large box at the entrance.

The words “Lin Yuan” were written on it.

She probably guessed what it was.

Ji Mingxiao kicked it with her foot, then called a robot to move the box to the basement.

She suddenly had the feeling of doing something mischievous.

Since the crisis had been resolved, Xi Ruan also arrived quickly and opened the box with Ji Mingxiao.

“He’s not dead, is he?” Xi Ruan stood behind Ji Mingxiao, looking disgusted.

“He shouldn’t be that fragile.” Ji Mingxiao controlled the robot to open the box.

Inside, a person was tied up—Xue Qingran.

His hair had been shaved off, and the words “beast” were written on the back of his head, seemingly tattooed.

Ji Mingxiao frowned. “This Xiao Ye is really a pervert.”

Xue Qingran turned his head and glanced at Ji Mingxiao. One of his eyes also seemed to be blind. He wanted to speak, but couldn’t.

Ji Mingxiao didn’t feel much, only a sense of horror and disgust.

She didn’t have a hobby of torturing others.

“He looks like this, it’ll be troublesome to deal with. We might as well just give him back to Xiao Ye.” Xi Ruan took one look and didn’t dare to look again.

Ji Mingxiao looked at her coldly. “Xue Qingran, do you regret it?”

“If you hadn’t conspired with the Zhao family to frame me, you should be about to graduate just like me now.”

“I liked you so much. How could I not help you if you wanted to join the Eleventh Army?”

“Why did you lie to me?” Ji Mingxiao crouched down in front of Xue Qingran. “Don’t hate me. This is all your own fault.”

“I already gave you a chance by letting you go to jail.” Ji Mingxiao shook her head. “If you repent, I will let you go.”

Xue Qingran was stunned for a moment, then he twitched his mouth. His expression was a little ugly and looked very painful.

Ji Mingxiao noticed that his tongue had been nailed with a nail, and a chain was attached to the nail, which was connected to the flesh of his cheeks. It was terrifying, and it would hurt a lot every time he tried to speak.

She frowned and stood up to untie the ropes on Xue Qingran’s body.

Xue Qingran fell directly to the ground, looking like he had been injected with a sedative.

“I’ll have a robot feed you.” Ji Mingxiao said.

Xue Qingran stared at Ji Mingxiao.

“This is all your fault,” Ji Mingxiao emphasized each word again, and finally said indifferently, “You’d better listen to some Buddhist scriptures recently to calm your mind.”

Ji Mingxiao adjusted the robot and walked out.

Xi Ruan listened to the sound of chanting coming from inside and deeply felt that Xue Qingran probably wouldn’t be calm at all, and would instead want to smash his head against the wall to escape.

Xue Qingran was indeed very annoyed. He was annoyed when he saw Ji Mingxiao, even more annoyed when he saw Xi Ruan, and now he was filled with annoyance listening to these Buddhist scriptures he couldn’t understand at all.

Ji Mingxiao’s voice was still swirling in his mind.

“This is all your fault.”

Why is it my fault?

Xue Qingran stared at the ground. He was weak and had no strength at all. He couldn’t move. Although Ji Mingxiao said she would let him go if he repented, where could he go in this state?

He wanted to cry, laugh, and scream, but he couldn’t say a single word.

As soon as he opened his mouth, there was a piercing pain.

Xiao Ye said this was to make him remember what he could say and what he shouldn’t say.

It was clearly this person who made him inform on them in the first place.

The Zhao family’s case had its second trial a week later. Lin’s father also sent things over, all of which were evidence of the Zhao family’s wrongdoing.

When Ji Mingxiao saw the things, she smiled. It seemed that Lin’s father was also very eager to uproot the Zhao family.

When the Zhao family members came out of the detention center, they had all lost a lot of weight.

Ji Mingxiao watched for a while and then left early, no longer having much interest. The Zhao family was completely unable to make a comeback.

“A family that has lasted for so many years is gone just like that,” Ji Mingxiao and Xi Ruan walked side by side on the road.

“What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.” Ji Mingxiao shook her head. She raised her hand and tucked Xi Ruan’s hair behind her ear.

Noticing that someone was looking at them, she looked over in a certain direction.

Zhao Kou.

Zhao Kou stood on the opposite side of the street and waved at the two of them.

Ji Mingxiao also smiled. She naturally knew what a big role Zhao Kou had played in this.

“I don’t know what the Zhao family did to make him hate them to this extent,” Xi Ruan said on the side. Although the other person was smiling, she always felt that his smile was chilling and a little terrifying. She clutched Ji Mingxiao’s sleeve.

“Who knows?” Ji Mingxiao withdrew her gaze. After saying hello, the other person went to the military court, probably wanting to see Zhao Yuan’s sentencing.

Xi Ruan looked at Zhao Kou’s direction again.

“You care about him a lot?”

“Huh?” Xi Ruan was stunned for a moment. “Care about who?”

Ji Mingxiao gestured.

Xi Ruan: …

“I’m just looking, it’s nothing.” Xi Ruan gave Ji Mingxiao an angry look.

“Oh.” Ji Mingxiao looked at Xi Ruan again.

Xi Ruan was a little helpless.

The two had nothing to do and were not in a hurry, so they just walked slowly on the streets.

Ji Mingxiao’s light brain beeped. She looked down.

It was from the robot at home.

There must be some movement with Xue Qingran.

Ji Mingxiao narrowed her eyes. She was originally planning to go shopping with Xi Ruan, after all, it was such a good opportunity.

“What’s wrong?” Xi Ruan leaned over.

“Xue Qingran.”

“Are you going back?” Xi Ruan looked at Ji Mingxiao with a frown.

Ji Mingxiao looked at Xi Ruan for a while. She didn’t say anything, just looked down and turned on the surveillance.

Xue Qingran was lying on the chair, staring at the surveillance, staring intently, then with difficulty, he showed a smile.

“He’s probably showing weakness.”

“Then is the mission complete?” Xi Ruan looked at Ji Mingxiao, her eyes brightening.

This world was too tiring for her. To be precise, the world had been very tiring ever since she met Ji Mingxiao.

Although she didn’t have the memories of the previous worlds, Xi Ruan felt it must be so.

Ji Mingxiao shook her head. “No.”

She didn’t go back, but only sent a message through the robot. In the surveillance, Xue Qingran’s face changed when he heard the five words “Don’t lie to me.” Then, the sound of chanting became louder.

Xue Qingran’s face turned gloomy again. He hammered the bed twice, not having much strength.

Ji Mingxiao smirked and put away her light brain. “Let’s go, let’s eat.”

“Are you just going to keep doing this?”

“It’s fine, it’ll be soon. If this person can’t repent, then the mission is mostly over.”

Xi Ruan stared at Ji Mingxiao. “Is that in the rules?”

“No, I’m guessing.” Ji Mingxiao raised her hand and rubbed Xi Ruan’s wrinkled forehead. “Let’s go eat. Why are you thinking so much?”

Xi Ruan gave Ji Mingxiao a look.

The two of them ate a lot of good food for lunch. Xi Ruan took pictures seriously, and these photos were all sent to the robot taking care of Xue Qingran.

The robot would show the photos to Xue Qingran. Recently, this person had only been eating white porridge or getting nutritional injections. He probably hadn’t had a chance to eat these delicious things for a long time.

“Nasty,” Xi Ruan glanced at Ji Mingxiao.

“What’s so nasty about this?”

After that, the photos that Ji Mingxiao and Xi Ruan took would be sent to Xue Qingran.

Xue Qingran suspected that Ji Mingxiao was crazy.

One day, Ji Mingxiao and Xi Ruan brought hot pot ingredients and ate hot pot in front of Xue Qingran while watching a variety show. The screen was facing away from Xue Qingran.

He could smell the aroma and hear the sounds, but he couldn’t see anything.

Ji Mingxiao ate a piece of fatty beef and looked at the person sitting there. “If you hadn’t made such a stupid decision, you could be eating too. What a pity.”

Xue Qingran: …

Xi Ruan discovered that Ji Mingxiao had a talent for mukbang. Her acting skills were top-notch.

Ji Mingxiao and Xi Ruan left after eating, leaving a room full of hot pot smell.

“I feel like if he could move, he would get up and hit you.”

“He can’t beat me anyway.” Ji Mingxiao glanced at Xi Ruan. She looked down at her hands and grabbed at the air. “Although I don’t really like to use force, to be honest, this feeling of being strong is not bad.”

“Then you can save money to buy a permanent skill card, but those things are too expensive,” Xi Ruan said with a sigh.

Ji Mingxiao smiled. “We’ll see. No rush.”

“The war on the front lines will be over soon. By the way, what if General Lin and the others come back and you haven’t dealt with this yet?”

Ji Mingxiao’s footsteps paused, and she smiled. “I’ll send him away. Although I’m not that rich, I can still find a place to stuff him into.”

Xi Ruan: …

Although there was no progress on Xue Qingran’s side, the progress on the Zhao family’s side was very fast.

When the wall collapses, everyone pushes it down. The Zhao family of today and the Zhao family of the past are in stark contrast. The Zhao family will have all their property confiscated for embezzling military supplies.

Because Zhao Kou was upholding righteousness, the Alliance did not confiscate his custom mecha.

The Zhao family naturally knew what Zhao Kou had done, and for a time, many people wanted to kill him. However, Zhao Kou had been staying at school, and if he went out, he would apply for personal protection, making it impossible for those people to get to him.
