In his previous life, Ling Yi had always suspected one thing.
Are all the screenwriters of those short dramas legally illiterate and have never studied law?
Do they really think Uncle Hat is just for show?
Beating people in the street, imprisoning them in the basement, harassing them at their door, falsely accusing them, and forcing them to kneel as punishment.
One zero from Yaoyao and her uncle will show up at her door in no time, not only giving her a free silver bracelet but also providing her with food and lodging.
This family of three.
Jiang Yuanyuan is a fraudster, Jiang Tang is an accomplice, and Huang Mao Li Liang, although not an accomplice, is also a beneficiary and cannot escape punishment either.
How dare they come to our door and provoke us?
"How dare you come here to provoke us?" This is what Ling Yi thought, and this is what he asked.
"A fraud exceeding 500,000 yuan is considered a major case. If our family refuses mediation and doesn't provide a letter of understanding, you will face at least ten years in prison."
"Three million, it's highly likely the verdict will be finalized."
"You have fifteen years, you have ten!" Ling Yi pointed at Jiang Yuanyuan, then at Jiang Tang.
Finally, he pointed at Li Liang: "You..."
"Damn it, what does this have to do with me? I didn't cheat anyone out of the money." Li Liang swallowed hard, waved his hands frantically, and backed away.
"You think you can escape?" Ling Yi sneered.
"You knew about it but didn't report it, isn't that a crime?"
"No, no, I don't know!"
"No, you know." Ling Yi sneered.
She glanced at the pale-faced mother and daughter, then looked back at Li Liang.
" Bai Duo'er, Li Xinran, Gao Xiao Qing, Zhang Yumei, Li Liang —do these names sound familiar?"
Every time Ling Yi uttered a name, Li Liang's body trembled.
"How... how did you know?"
Li Liang exclaimed in surprise and turned to run.
But Ling Yi touched him with a finger, causing his whole body to go numb and he collapsed to the ground.
" Bai Duo'er, after being tormented by you for half a year, finally drank Pesticide. Although she was saved, her brain was damaged, and she became a vegetable."
" Li Xinran got pregnant because of you, but she didn't dare tell her family. She could only secretly go to an unlicensed clinic for treatment, which resulted in an infection. She will never be able to have children again."
" Gao Xiao Qing... Zhang Yumei..."
With each name Ling Yi uttered, Li Liang's face grew paler.
He may be a scoundrel, but he's also a smart man.
Of course, they know what the consequences will be if these things are all found out.
It's either the death penalty or life imprisonment.
"You're talking nonsense. You have no evidence. I'm going to sue you for defamation," Li Liang retorted stubbornly.
"No way, no way, you don't actually think that just because those things are stored on a cloud drive and have multiple layers of passwords, they won't be found out, do you?"
"You..."
"By the way, I also had your information compiled by the lawyer, but yours is different from theirs."
"They need to go through a few more procedures; you can just hand it over to Uncle Hat."
Just then, the elevator in the corridor chimed.
Two groups of people walked in one after the other.
A group of people, dressed in suits and ties, wearing glasses, and carrying briefcases.
The other group was my uncle.
The three men in suits were court staff.
The other five were Ling Yi's uncles who rushed over after receiving Ling Yi's emergency call.
Unexpectedly, we ran into each other.
"That's incredibly efficient," Ling Yi grinned.
" Ling Yi, how dare you?" Jiang Tang stammered in a panic.
"At this point, you're not still thinking of never talking to me again, are you?"
Twenty minutes later, Li Liang received a pair of silver bracelets and was taken away.
Li Liang's case is quite serious, and the evidence is conclusive, so it's being handled quickly.
My uncle will handle the procedures with the court.
As for Jiang Yuanyuan and her daughter, they only received a court summons today.
It will probably take some time, going through a major process.
"Oh, by the way, I have something to tell you. Our family's compensation for the demolition wasn't a few million, it was forty million."
"Put it in the bank to earn interest; you'll get hundreds of thousands every year."
Just as Jiang Tang and her daughter were about to leave, Ling Yi suddenly spoke again.
"Actually, if you just behaved yourself and didn't cause any trouble, would our Bai Clan ever mistreat you and your daughter?"
"But ironically, all my sincere efforts over the years couldn't compare to a mere hair."
"How could I accept this? I harbored hatred because of love, which is why I had someone investigate Li Liang and you all."
"I never expected to find out such a wonderful surprise."
Why did Ling Yi say that? He wanted to strike at someone's heart.
The goal is to complete the Heartache Level Jiang Tang candy quest as quickly as possible.
Sure enough, as soon as Ling Yi said that, the heartbreaking progress above Jiang Tang's head jumped to 70%!
Heartache Points the 700 points!
The Jiang Tang in this world is worth a little more than Liu Ruyan in the previous world, but only a little.
" Bai Hang, I was wrong, I was really wrong."
"I was also fooled by that scumbag Li Liang!" Jiang Tang wailed.
"It's too late. I'm moving tomorrow, leaving this place of heartbreak forever."
" Jiang Tang, you've disappointed me so much." Ling Yi shook his head, looking heartbroken.
Then, with a bang, the door slammed shut.
Jiang Tang cried and shouted outside the door for a long time before Jiang Yuanyuan forcibly took her away.
[Ding! The Heartache Level of Jiang Tang has increased to 85%, gaining 150 Heartache Points!]
Yes, I hear a familiar voice.
Ling Yi couldn't help but laugh.
"Have you finished upgrading?"
Water Ball flew out from Ling Yi's forehead.
"Upgrade complete! This time the gains are enormous!" The Water Ball floated excitedly in front of Ling Yi.
"Tell me first, what new features have been added?"
"The ways to obtain 'Heartache Points' have increased, no longer limited to mission objectives." With a flick of the Water Ball's body, two arms actually grew out.
Raise one arm and extend two fingers.
" The Damage Transfer function has been retained. With reflection and Damage Transfer, host, from now on, you no longer need to worry about getting injured!"
Yes, these are all good news.
"Anything else?"
Finally, capturing mission targets will be easier and consume less energy in the future.
Ling Yi and the system want to travel to another world, but they need to lock onto that world first.
To lock down the world, you must first lock down the mission objective.
To pinpoint the mission objective, you must first identify the unfortunate individuals in the target world.
For example, Lin Feng, and Bai Hang.
Ling Yi had no idea how difficult it was for the system to lock onto targets before, nor did he know how easy it actually was now that the system was saying it was easy.
Anyway, it's a good thing.
Is there anything else?
"I've partially recovered my database, so I can provide even more assistance to the host in the future!"
"Excellent, excellent!"
"First, let's check if anyone in this world has a system."
There's no way around it; completing the task will only result in a few hundred or even a thousand points of Heartache Points.
However, consuming a system can yield hundreds of thousands of "Heartache Points".
Compared to completing tasks, it's definitely faster to devour other people's systems.
"Host, the plot of this world is very simple; it's impossible for a system to appear."
"Unless, there are other time travelers."
Ling Yi narrowed his eyes. "For example, your classmates?"
"That's impossible. The worlds I've locked onto all bypass the world coordinates recorded in the school's database."
"My classmates are almost certainly not going to exist in the same world as this system."
Where is Zhao Yun?
Zhao Yun is the transmigrator who possessed Liu Ruyan's Soul Transmigration; her system, Little Jin, is Water Ball's classmate.
That was an accident.
An accident? Ha!
Ling Yi's lips curled into a smile. This little thing, as expected, was hiding something from him.
