“What are you doing?”

“Let me check if you’re injured!” Ignoring Wen Xin’s protests, Mu Chengxi pulled open her collar. Seeing the bruises, his face darkened. He carefully removed her gear.

Holding Wen Xin’s hand, he coldly instructed Liang Luoyu, “Take care of the rest. I’m taking her to the infirmary to apply some medicine.”

“Oh, there’s no need. I have ointment in my backpack. Just a quick application will do.”

Wen Xin tugged on Mu Chengxi’s arm, not moving from her spot. She had won, achieved her goal, and had no intention of leaving just yet. She wanted to see Jiang Linyan leave in defeat.

Mu Chengxi, seeing her determination, helplessly asked Liang Luoyu to fetch Wen Xin’s backpack from the office. Applying medicine couldn’t be delayed.

Jiang Linyan watched forlornly as Mu Chengxi tended to Wen Xin with such care. Her frustration peaked, and she angrily threw down her sniper rifle, slapped her hat back on, and turned to leave.

“Wait, Miss Jiang, I hope you remember what I said. Put away those inappropriate thoughts and behave yourself!”

Wen Xin’s voice was loud enough for everyone around to hear, especially the students from Class 12 who had gathered. They looked at Wen Xin with admiration.

They had no fondness for an instructor who had ordered them to run five kilometers. In contrast, they felt grateful to Wen Xin.

They believed that they would have been put through unbearable torment without Wen Xin.

Jiang Linyan turned back to look at Wen Xin’s triumphant expression and scoffed. “Wen Xin, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because the Mu family backs you. If one day…”

“There won’t be such a day. I, Mu Chengxi, will always be Wen Xin’s shield. The Mu family will support Wen Xin for a lifetime. Jiang Linyan, there won’t be a next time. Not even Old Jiang can protect you.”

Mu Chengxi’s tone was calm, but to Jiang Linyan, it was both hurtful and humiliating, shattering her last bit of hope.

She had no more face to stay and immediately turned and ran off.

After the commotion, the scores for Jiang Linyan and Wen Xin were displayed on the shooting range’s big screen.

Wen Xin: Moving Target 100, Fixed Target 100.

Jiang Linyan: Moving Target 95, Fixed Target 80.

Everyone present fell into deep thought upon seeing these scores. They pondered a serious question, suspecting Wen Xin’s previous low score was intentional, just to humiliate Jiang Linyan.

Jiang Linyan drove straight back to the Jiang residence. She went directly to her courtyard and locked herself in, not even letting her mother in.

“Linyan, what’s wrong? Did something happen outside? If you’ve been wronged, you can tell me, and I’ll have your grandfather take care of it for you!”

Grandfather? Thinking of her grandfather’s attitude towards Wen Xin, Jiang Linyan’s hands clenched tightly. Asking her grandfather for help was futile; she might as well take matters into her own hands.

“Don’t tell my grandfather I came back. I’m fine; I just need some time alone.”

Jiang Linyan wouldn’t admit to such a humiliating defeat. Her grandfather wouldn’t help her and might even scold her for targeting Wen Xin.

In the Jiang family, Wen Huai’s status was higher than hers. If her grandfather had to choose between her and Wen Xin, he’d probably choose Wen Xin without hesitation.

She didn’t want to feel hurt again. She decided to handle this herself. If they wouldn’t treat her well, she wouldn’t hold back.

Jiang Linyan suddenly had an idea. She stood up, opened the door, and saw her worried mother standing outside.

“Mom, when I went to the training base, Ou Jinzhi didn’t take care of me and even targeted me. Because I caused trouble at the base, he sent me back. You must stand up for me!”

Jiang Linyan hugged her mother, acting like she had been wronged. She thought that her mother would definitely vent her anger on Song Linman.

Song Linman was weak and easily bullied. She wouldn’t complain to Ou Jinzhi. No matter what, Jiang Linyan wouldn’t let them off the hook easily.

Jiang’s mother comforted Jiang Linyan for a while, telling her to take a bath and change clothes, then go for a beauty treatment. Her pale skin was slightly red from the sun, making her mother feel distressed.

“Sweetheart, go do a repair mask, then head to the beauty salon. Your skin is damaged from the sun. Don’t do silly things like this again. I’ll call Song Linman to go with you.”

“Thank you, Mom. You’re the best!”

Jiang Linyan felt better, having achieved part of her goal. If she couldn’t vent on Wen Xin, she could still take it out on Song Linman. She wouldn’t let any of them off.

While Jiang’s mother was on the phone, Song Linman was still at the training base. She answered, saying she couldn’t return, and Jiang’s mother instantly lost her temper.

“Song Linman, don’t you know why Ou Jinzhi is in his position today? If you don’t come, I can make sure he loses everything. Think carefully. Don’t wait until it’s too late…”

Before she could finish, Ou Jinzhi took the phone from Song Linman, his face dark. It was the first time he heard that his position was thanks to the Jiang family. He found it laughable.

“Mrs. Hou, if you want to complain to Mr. Jiang, go ahead. Maybe you should also tell him how you’ve been mistreating Linman all these years.”

“Linman may not be your daughter, but she’s still a Jiang family member. Furthermore, she is the granddaughter-in-law of the Ou family. My wife. I don’t need your family’s help.”

As Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi entered, they overheard Ou Jinzhi’s words. Mu Chengxi glanced at Wen Xin, who looked amused and excited by the unfolding drama.

Mu Chengxi smiled indulgently. Wen Xin always got excited when there was drama to watch, which he found incredibly endearing.

“Mrs. Hou, since you said that, please inform Grandfather that we won’t be attending his birthday banquet next month.”

Ou Jinzhi had no patience for the Jiang family. He had long disliked that woman, but for Song Linman, he had tolerated her.
