Returning to the Villain Omega's High School Days - Chapter 14

The last time Xie Ning was back at the Xiangshan villa felt like it was just yesterday.

At that time, she pulled out a gun and pointed it at Su Xingheng in the private room.

There was a room full of people, including Su Xingheng’s three wives, his children, Su’s mother Fang Lingyu, and a few people from his uncle’s family.

Except for the children, they were no longer young.

Fang Lingyu was even in a wheelchair, pushed by her eldest daughter-in-law.

Su Xingheng had become stern and unsmiling, and even in front of his children, he liked to give orders.

The scene of the Su family having a good time seemed to be right in front of her eyes.

They had climbed up by stepping on the Xie family, taken the Xie family’s assets, occupied the Xie family’s house, and were laughing and chatting on the land where Uncle Ling had bled and died to protect the Xie family.

Xie Ning couldn’t stand for that to happen again!

She was back now, and the first thing she had to do was find the book “Rongcheng.”

She couldn’t let that book fall into Jiang Qingliu’s hands.

She couldn’t let the plot in the book become a reality!

“Host, the server understands what you’re thinking, but this time, the server has fixed the bug from last time. That book has already been corrected; it no longer exists!” System 2038 said.

“You said there was no difference between now and the last life, so how can you change the past now?” Xie Ning asked, displeased.

“If you can change the past, then why don’t you just go back sixteen years and prevent Su Wan from being swapped?!”

“That can’t be changed. The only things that can be changed are the bugs in this world, like that book that shouldn’t have existed,” the system explained seriously.

“Host, my purpose is to keep this world running. If this world collapses, everything will be over for you. You must take this seriously.”

“As long as Su Xingheng doesn’t die, this world won’t collapse, right?”

“The protagonist not dying is the minimum requirement. As a server, we also have the basic requirement of correcting the plot, which is—to allow the protagonist to grow.”

“The protagonist must go through joys and sorrows, and it’s best if he has a complete change of heart, just as the villains once did. Let the protagonist have everything, then take everything away from him, make him experience great happiness and great sadness, go through a transformation, and then achieve enlightenment,” the system paused.

“These are the specific requirements of the server. As for how to achieve them, it depends on the corrector.”

“The corrector?”

“That would be you, the host,” the system said frankly.

“You are the corrector chosen by the server, the one who can change the course of history.”

Xie Ning narrowed her eyes and pondered for a moment.

“I like that way of putting it. I think that if Su Xingheng, as the protagonist, is always coddled, he won’t be able to grow at all. As a corrector, I definitely need to give him a lot of beatings, make him go through hardships that ordinary people can’t, and help him achieve enlightenment as soon as possible. Don’t you agree?”

The system was silent for a few seconds.

“…That’s not against the rules. The server doesn’t think that doing so violates the rules, but you must ensure that the corrective actions don’t create bugs. You can’t make the protagonist question the nature of the world, just like that book. Its existence would make people question the reality of the world.”

“So your next actions must be more cautious. You can no longer act as rashly as you did before.”

Xie Ning: “…”

“Also, although the book no longer exists, the server has replaced it with something else: a copy of your medical report!”

Xie Ning thought of something, and the smile on her face immediately vanished.

It was already 10:30 PM.

Xie Ning walked through the living room, heard her stepmother Jiang Qin’s faint “You’re back,” and ignored her completely, going straight upstairs.

She walked to the second bedroom door, pushed it open, and entered.

The person in the room was startled.

He sat up abruptly from the bed and looked at the figure in the doorway.

He said in disbelief, “Sis?”

Xie Ning “click”ed on the light.

The light shone on the half-naked teenage boy.

He raised a hand to block his eyes and used the other to pull the covers up to shield his body, saying in a panic, “What are you doing, Sis? I’m not wearing any clothes! Don’t come in!”

“Oh?” Xie Ning looked at him coldly.

“Jiang Qingliu, why are you so afraid of me?”

The boy trembled, his eyes widened a little as he looked at Xie Ning.

He said in a low voice, “Sis, what… what did you just call me?”

The system in Xie Ning’s mind was already blaring a warning.

“Host, spoiler alert! Be careful with what you say!”

Xie Ning had misspoke.

Jiang Qingliu only changed his name to Jiang Qingliu, following his mother’s surname, a decade later.

Saying that name out loud scared Xie Qingliu.

They looked at each other, trying to guess each other’s intentions.

At this point, whoever panicked first and showed their fear would reveal a weakness.

Xie Ning had been in the underworld for many years.

A slip of the tongue was nothing.

As long as she maintained her stance and didn’t reveal any flaws, the other person would back down, speculate wildly, and take the flaws as clues, guessing endlessly until they came to a new understanding.

She calmly looked at the naked man on the bed, hummed, and walked toward him without any hesitation, as if she was about to pull him up.

As expected, Xie Qingliu shrunk back in a panic and asked nervously, “Xie Ning, did you go through my things?”

He only referred to himself as Jiang Qingliu in his diary.

The fact that Xie Ning could say that name meant she had read his diary!

Xie Qingliu was terrified.

God knew how many dark and unspeakable things he had done!

Xie Ning ignored him.

She went into the room and began searching his drawers, including the ones under the bookshelf, the ones under the desk, and the ones in the nightstand.

Xie Qingliu put on his clothes while nervously saying, “Sis, can you stop messing with me? I need to sleep. If you keep going through my things, I’m going to call Mom!”

“You should call Dad too,” Xie Ning said.

“Let him know what bad things you’ve been doing!”

Xie Qingliu’s face turned pale.

He quietly got off the bed, his bare feet on the floor.

He followed behind Xie Ning and said in a low voice, “Stop. There’s nothing in those drawers. Look, just CDs and stuff. And that one’s nothing… just some specimens.”

Xie Ning went through everything in no time.

Xie Qingliu seemed to have a bit of OCD.

Everything had to be uniformly categorized and neatly arranged.

Even the drawer with the specimens had several sealed bags neatly placed in it, with the bodies of some insects and the bones of unknown species inside.

As expected, her little brother had been a perfect pervert since he was a child.

But this little pervert’s attitude toward Xie Ning was a mix of love and hate, reverence and fear.

It had been like this since he was very young.

Xie Ning couldn’t understand it before, but after “Rongcheng” appeared, she finally got it.

Xie Qingliu had known he would differentiate into an Alpha!

That fear was a Beta’s instinctive admiration and awe for an Alpha!

Since “Rongcheng” no longer existed, the “Medical Report” that replaced it served the same purpose.

Thinking of this, Xie Ning came to find Xie Qingliu without a second thought.

She had to find that medical report before he became suspicious and took action!

“Stop looking,” Xie Qingliu said, still pretending to be wronged.

He sighed. “Sis, if you keep doing this, I’ll never trust you again.”

Xie Ning finished going through the nightstand drawer and finally pulled out the drawer under the bed.

She found a locked metal box inside.

At this, Xie Qingliu no longer hid his intentions.

He rushed over to grab the metal box but was pushed away by Xie Ning.

She turned around and pinned him to the ground.

She could use the strength of just one arm to restrain Xie Qingliu and prevent him from resisting.

Xie Qingliu was only thirteen, five years younger than Xie Ning.

Part of the reason he couldn’t beat her was his age.

But Xie Qingliu also knew the other reason.

Even when he grew up and was the same age as Xie Ning, he couldn’t beat her in strength and speed!

He was going to differentiate into an Omega, and Xie Ning… Oh my god, she hadn’t even differentiated yet, and she was this strong?!

It was both enviable and terrifying.

In front of Xie Qingliu, Xie Ning used her bare hands to yank on the lock of the metal box twice and broke it open.

She took out a medical report that had been hidden for several years.

The system was right; it had fixed a bug.

What was supposed to be in this metal box was the book “Rongcheng,” but now it was a medical report.

Not only had the item been replaced, but people’s memories had also changed.

When Xie Qingliu saw the report, he wasn’t surprised.

In his memory, he was the one who had hidden that report there himself.

Xie Ning took out the report.

The faded A4 paper showed the year, the name of the clinic, Xie Ning’s name, and a list of her check-up results.

At the conclusion, it clearly stated:

“Xie Ning, female, 12 years old, differentiation tendency: Alpha.”

Xie Ning: “…”

As she had suspected, there was nothing wrong with the report.

Someone had colluded with the hospital to deceive the Xie family into believing that Xie Ning would differentiate into an Omega.

This way, the Xie family wouldn’t train Xie Ning to be the family’s heir!

The only person who had the motive and the ability to do this was Xie Ning’s stepmother, Jiang Qin!

She had been deceiving Xie Ning for so many years!

She knew the truth yet she allowed, and even encouraged, Xie Ning and Su Xingheng to get engaged.

Wasn’t it all so that after Xie Ning differentiated into an Alpha, she would be rejected and lose face?!

Her ambition was as ferocious as a wolf, and she was utterly vicious!

The color drained from Xie Ning’s face.

Her face and neck turned as white as paper, and her eyes turned red, like a vampire.

She stared at the report, speechless for a long time.

Seeing that things had progressed this far, Xie Qingliu couldn’t hide it any longer.

He could only plead, “Sis, it wasn’t me who was trying to hurt you. I was only seven years old when I found out about this. I didn’t know anything back then.”

“Stop playing dumb,” Xie Ning sneered.

“You and Jiang Qin, what are you plotting? What are your intentions? Do you really think I don’t know?”

Xie Qingliu smiled bitterly.

Xie Ning held the report and stood up, saying calmly, “Dad has to know about this.”

“Thump!”

Xie Qingliu scrambled up and forcefully hugged Xie Ning’s leg.

He looked up at her, begging for mercy.

“Sister, please don’t tell him. I’ll do anything you want. I’m begging you. You’re already in your differentiation period and you’re about to differentiate. This report won’t affect you much. You can use this to threaten Mom, but please, please don’t go to Dad! I’m begging you!”

Xie Ning looked down at him, wondering if this little pervert was of any use to her and if she should keep him.

What he had done in her previous life still disgusted her.

But even if she showed this report to their father, would he really hold Jiang Qin accountable?

Xie Ning didn’t really want the old man to give her justice.

In her previous life, she had done all the dirty work and tough jobs to take care of him when he was sick, and she was completely sick of it.

If this report wasn’t enough to get rid of Jiang Qin, it would only make her more powerful, and then Xie Ning would have an even harder time threatening her.

She told herself to be patient.

This was only the first day back.

The show had just begun.

Xie Qingliu knelt on the ground, hugging her leg.

He used all his charms and analyzed the pros and cons, but Xie Ning just gave him a look, took the report, and went back to her room to sleep.

The next day, on her way to school, she heard all kinds of rumors about the Su family and was delighted.

It turned out that the news about the more than one thousand employees looking for someone by the Sanliu Bridge had spread like wildfire the night before.

Everyone in WeChat groups was talking about it, and videos and photos were being shared in different groups.

Soon, someone claimed to be the girl’s classmate and knew the inside story.

So overnight, almost everyone at Shihai High School knew about Su Jin’s situation, and the rumors became more and more outrageous:

“Su Jin was so ashamed of being a fake daughter that she went to the river to commit suicide!”

“Impossible! It must have been a suicide for love! She had someone she liked, but now there’s such a huge gap in their social status. They’re not a good match, so she couldn’t take it!”

“I heard it’s because she’s pregnant, and her family is forcing her to get an abortion, so she had to threaten to kill herself…”

“Ew.”

“Actually, the truth is that Su Jin knows about her identity, and she’s part of an organized conspiracy! Her real mission was to seduce the Su family’s young master, but she couldn’t beat the beautiful school queen. After failing her mission, she was being hunted by her organization and was chased to the river. At that moment, a large group of people came looking for her, and in order not to expose her organization, she had to fake a suicide!”

“…”

The most ironic thing was that even though everyone was talking about it, the protagonist of the story might have been completely unaware.
