Villain: Starting as a Corrupt Tycoon's Wife

However, Tong Rui still chose to believe the more scientific explanation, concluding that this was a deliberate act by Lü Jipei's team, aimed at generating traffic.

These streamers are willing to do anything for traffic, and it's very likely that the person who went to the dressing room during the day to film these scenes was Lü Jipei's alternate account.

Even if you don't believe in ghosts and spirits, walking in an alley without streetlights late at night is still a bit scary.

He clutched the bottle tightly in his hands, and because he was walking in a hurry, the unknown liquid inside rattled as it moved.

Suddenly, his foot slipped and he fell.

He could only watch helplessly as the bottle shattered in front of him, followed by a pungent odor!

"Ahhhh!"

He clutched his eyes in pain, writhing on the ground in agony.

The liquid in the bottle evaporated rapidly, and soon there was no trace of smell left.

A passerby heard his screams and, upon discovering that he couldn't open his eyes, immediately called for emergency medical assistance.

After a doctor's examination, Tong Rui's eyes were found to be fine, and he should be fine after a few days of rest.

[Due to the trap set by his brother, the protagonist Tong Rui's "Treasure Appraisal Eye" has been severely affected, resulting in a 2500-point reduction in his luck, currently standing at 1000/4000!]

[The protagonist, Tong Rui, has less than half his luck, and his talent attributes have been weakened!]

Tong Rui's "Appraisal Eye (Purple)" has changed to "Fade Glow of a Broken Mirror (White)".

[A Faint Glimmer of Light from a Broken Mirror: The eye's perception of antiquities becomes extremely weak, making it difficult to clearly distinguish the age and authenticity.]

Ling Yun's actions almost ruined Tong Rui's talent, and without the ability to appraise treasures with his spiritual eyes, Tong Rui would not achieve much in the future.

But that's not enough. As long as he has good fortune, he still has a chance to turn things around.

The man this morning, the stall owner at the antique market, and the "kind" passerby are all the same person.

Fox, the master of disguise in Paw Patrol!

Ling Yun also had him learn from Fu Xiang, the "Broken Wolf" in prison, for a while, which helped him improve his disguise skills to a higher level.

Tong Rui, who was lying in the hospital, also discovered the problem with his eyes.

His eyesight hasn't deteriorated, but now even the hospital can't determine the exact year of the cup he drinks from.

He comforted himself, thinking it was probably due to overuse of his eyes and being exposed to irritating fumes; a good night's sleep would do the trick.

The passerby who brought him there even kindly paid his fees and arranged a personal caregiver for him.

When Tong Rui saw the round-faced, bearded male caregiver walk in with a smile, he instinctively sensed a hint of danger.

Strange, why do I have this feeling?

Chapter 130 Her Dream

Do ghosts dream?

Before this, Ling Yun wasn't even sure if ghosts existed. Although he had taken in two little female ghosts, he hadn't discussed related topics with them.

He only remembers falling asleep while holding Bai Xin and Wu Qianyi, and then his consciousness gradually emptied until he "woke up" at a certain moment.

This is a school.

Lingyun stood in the corridor, surrounded by a noisy environment.

He glanced down at his clothes and realized he was wearing a sharp suit and holding a textbook.

"Teacher Ling!"

"Hello teacher!"

Several girls walked past him together, smiling, and escorted him into the classroom next door.

As soon as he entered the classroom, the previously noisy classroom fell silent, and countless pairs of girls' eyes were fixed on him.

Ling Yun was about to speak when he discovered that his body had started moving on its own, and he began to teach them.

The lecture was vague and unclear, which made him realize that he was dreaming, rather than having traveled to some other place.

Is it a lucid dream?

Ling Yun's lips curled up, his consciousness sank, and he regained control of his body in no time.

"Okay, shall we watch a movie next?"

He winked at the girls, and a cheer erupted from below. Even those who were playing on their phones or sleeping looked up.

Ling Yun filled in a familiar website address and looked at the movie titles on it; every single one of them was one he had seen before.

However, they are all horror movies.

He frowned slightly, trying to search for comedy, but found nothing.

Left with no other option, he chose to watch Final Destination. Compared to other horror movies, this film was more like a safety education film, so he wouldn't be afraid of someone hiding under his bed afterward.

The long class passed by amidst the girls' screams.

Ling Yun was also secretly observing them, trying to find a familiar face among them, but to no avail.

He flipped through his textbooks and phone but couldn't find any information about the school. Even when he asked the female student, she couldn't answer the question.

This must be an all-girls school, or a school with a predominantly female student population. At least, he hadn't seen a single person of the same sex as he walked from the corridor to the classroom.

Having a party in his dreams isn't so bad, but the girls here are all rather average-looking, and he, used to fine food, really has no appetite for it.

After class, he closed his laptop and strolled around the school.

He wanted to leave the school, but as soon as he got close to the school gate, he would be transported back by an irresistible force.

This made him realize that perhaps he wasn't in his own dream, but had mistakenly entered someone else's dream.

Did I steal a dream?

He shook his head and chuckled. Since he was already here, he might as well make the best of it. He was curious to see where he was.

When he passed by a teaching building and saw its familiar architectural style, he immediately stopped.

A tall, slender girl walked out of the teaching building.

The girl was about 165 cm tall, with a chest that was only average for China. She had a very straight back, and you could tell from her walking posture that she was probably a dancer.

"Zhang Xiaoya!"

He called out the girl's name, and when she heard his voice, she just glanced at him curiously, then lowered her head and quickened her pace.

He stepped forward and blocked the girl's path, and Zhang Xiaoya showed a surprised expression.

"I'm sorry, I don't know you."

"you do not know me?"

"Yes, please move aside, or I'll call security!"

Seeing that the security guard was already coming over with a riot fork, Ling Yun stepped aside.

Zhang Xiaoya took a few steps back and then quickly ran towards the dormitory.

"Was this her dream?"

Ling Yun touched his chin, as if she didn't recognize him in his dream.

If this is her dream, then this must be the old campus of Beijing Normal University.

He secretly followed Zhang Xiaoya and sneaked into the dormitory under the cover of darkness.

Along the way, the other girls ignored him, as if he were invisible. Later, Ling Yun even openly wandered around the dormitory building and even went to the bathroom to take a look.

To his great disappointment, there was nothing interesting in the bathroom.

Although they were all girls, he couldn't find a single one who was pleasing to the eye out of a thousand. Actually, it was because his standards were too high; he was aiming for the level of a campus beauty, someone you might not even find in an entire school.

After it got completely dark, he found Zhang Xiaoya's dormitory.

The girl was sitting at the table, lost in thought.

A short while later, she gently rubbed her arm, but a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips that she didn't even notice.

boom!

The dormitory door was violently kicked open, and a girl with her nostrils practically pointing to the sky led a group of people in.

"Zhang Xiaoya".

The girl seemed to be suppressing her anger, and her roommates all cowered in fear, no one daring to utter a sound.

"What are you doing?" the girl asked, somewhat annoyed. "This is my dormitory."

Did you talk to Teacher Ling today?

"Teacher Ling?"

"Stop pretending!"

The girl grabbed her arm, and the other girls quickly surrounded her.

"Our school only has one male teacher, who do you think it is?"

"I don't know him." Zhang Xiaoya was a little scared, but she didn't back down. "Please let me go!"

"You only dare to seduce Teacher Ling because you have a pretty face!"

When the girl saw that she dared to resist, she went up and slapped Zhang Xiaoya across the pretty face.

Ling Yun wanted to stop it, but found that his figure had become completely transparent, as if he were observing everything from a god-like perspective, floating in mid-air.

They didn't really hurt the girl; they threatened her for a while and then left.

"Xiaoya, are you alright?"

After they left, one of the girls asked a question timidly.

Zhang Xiaoya wiped her mouth with a wet wipe, looking at the bright red bloodstains, her voice trembling slightly: "It's nothing."

"They're bullying us so much!" another roommate exclaimed indignantly.

Lingyun could tell that they only dared to gossip behind people's backs, and wouldn't dare to utter a single word in front of others.

"got used to."

The girl tried her best to appear calm, but there was still a hint of grievance in her words.

She had experienced this many times since she was a child. Because she was gentle and beautiful, she was often isolated and bullied.

I thought things would be better in college, but it turns out it's still the same.

She and that girl had a falling out during their freshman year military training. It was because she performed a dance during lunch break and received unanimous praise from the female teacher and instructor, overshadowing the other girl. After that, the other girl would cause her trouble every few days.

At first, the other party only verbally bullied her, but when they saw that she didn't resist much, they started to physically assault her.

She did tell her counselor, but instead received even harsher retaliation.

Ling Yun sighed. He could hear the girl's inner thoughts and knew the resentment in her heart.

This kind of school violence can happen in any school.

Being fat will get you bullied; being ugly will get you bullied; being beautiful will also get you bullied.

Those who are bullied all have one thing in common: they are gentle and dislike fighting.

If it's that kind of crazy criticism, then it's not bullying anymore, but rather it turns into isolation and passive-aggressive behavior.

In dreams, time doesn't flow at a constant pace; in the blink of an eye, ten days have passed.

Chapter 131 No One Can Escape

In the past few days, Lingyun has witnessed the girl being bullied in various ways.

They dumped trash into her food, threw dead rats into her dorm room, and even deliberately splashed cold water on her while she was showering.

Zhang Xiaoya endured it all, but what she got in return was the other party's escalating aggression.

When her mother called, Zhang Xiaoya cleaned up the trash on the ground while smiling and saying that everything was fine and her classmates were getting along well.

When Ling Yun saw Zhang Xiaoya walking into the dance studio at night in her familiar sportswear, he realized something.

The girl danced in front of the old mirror again and again, immersed in her own dance. Perhaps only in this way could she feel happy.
