I transmigrated into the villain's white moonlight, but the protagonist is my brother.

Chapter 122 Someone is deliberately retaliating

On Sunday evening, it was already past seven o'clock when Xie Yan took Xiaobaicai home.

As autumn progresses, it gets dark earlier and earlier.

The Bai family's residence can no longer be called a villa; it's more like an entire estate. The butler has to drive to the estate gate to pick them up, and even after entering the estate, it's still another ten minutes or so to get home.

Xie Yan originally thought that the Gu family's super big villa was already very luxurious, but now it seems that the Gu family is actually quite low-key.

Despite politely declining Xiaobaicai's adorable invitation to stay overnight, the Bai family still sent a driver to kindly take Xie Yan home.

Actually, Xie Yan originally planned to scan a shared bike and pedal back, but taking a car is also fine.

Xie Yan has been staying at Yang Huiyun's place for the past two days, eating and sleeping. This morning, she even took Xiao Baicai to experience digging for wild vegetables. Although the little girl was a bit reluctant at first, she was quite happy to eat the vegetables she dug herself at noon.

Xie Yan felt an unprecedented sense of peace and security.

If she could, she wished time could stand still for those two days.

Around 8 o'clock, Xie Yan got off the car at the entrance of the residential area and walked for a few minutes before arriving at her building.

From a distance, Xie Yan saw several young girls standing downstairs, but she didn't pay them any attention. The next second, her phone rang.

Looking down, I saw it was Bai Xiao calling.

Xie Yan answered the phone, "Bai Xiao? I just took Xiao Baicai home. Don't worry, we had a lot of fun."

Bai Xiao's voice on the other end wasn't clear, but it sounded urgent. "Sister Xie, don't go home yet. You've been exposed. The other day when we went out with Xiaobaicai, the paparazzi took pictures and posted your face online. I'm afraid some brainless fans will come after you—"

Bai Xiao was really anxious. He knew that his group of young fans were always irrational and had a sharp tongue, but he didn't expect them to be able to find out where Xie Yan was living now.

He had just finished a magazine photoshoot when he discovered that his face had been exposed in the photos taken that day, and Xie Yan's current address was also revealed, making it known to everyone online.

Just a few minutes ago, Xiaobaicai called him to say that she and Sister Xieyan were back, so Bai Xiao hurriedly called back.

Xie Yan fell silent after hearing Bai Xiao's words.

She looked at the girls who suddenly turned to look at her, and sighed, "...It seems it's too late."

The moment she answered the phone and called out Bai Xiao's name, the girls had already locked onto their target and were eyeing her menacingly as they approached.

There were about five or six of them, all with youthful faces. The oldest looked no more than twenty, and the youngest looked like they might still be in junior high school.

The girl in the lead looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. She had long hair, a slender build, and her eyes were filled with astonishing resentment as she looked at Xie Yan, as if the person standing in front of her was her father's killer.

"You fucking bitch, you seduced my Bai Xiao, didn't you! You were just talking to him on the phone?! How shameless are you?!"

"Yeah, you're just a prostitute who only wants to create hype and climb the ladder! Now you're happy that my brother is trending at number one!! You're shameless enough to try and get attention!"

"Stop wasting time talking to her, sisters, grab your weapons!"

The group pulled out pepper spray or paint from their bags and splashed it in Xie Yan's direction.

Xie Yan nimbly jumped aside and turned on the speakerphone for her phone call.

"Hey ladies, I haven't hung up yet. Bai Xiao heard everything you just said."

Upon hearing this, the girls were immediately taken aback.

Bai Xiao's hysterical voice came from two meters away, "Aren't you all ashamed? This is illegal, you know? I don't have brain-dead fans like you. I've already called the police!"

When the group heard that it was indeed their idol's voice, they exchanged glances and actually felt aggrieved.

"Brother Bai, this shameless woman is trying to ride your coattails, we—"

"Fuck your mother!!"

Bai Xiao, on the other end, was clearly furious. "Sister Xie saved my life! If it weren't for her, I would have drowned in the swamp!! If you guys keep this up, I'm quitting the industry!!!"

Xie Yan, holding her phone, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, thinking that it wouldn't necessarily ruin her career.

However, the girls were clearly intimidated. After exchanging glances, they gritted their teeth and said to Xie Yan.

"Fine, consider it good luck. Stay away from Brother Bai from now on!"

"let's go!"

The group glared at Xie Yan resentfully, then prepared to leave with unsatisfied expressions.

Xie Yan, however, smiled and blocked their way.

Under the streetlights, the girl's beautiful face smiled with exceptional gentleness.

"You think you can just leave after insulting someone? You wish."

Ten minutes later, Xie Yan had easily subdued all the girls until the police car took them away.

Xie Yan needed to go along to give a statement, so she also got into the police car.

Even after getting into the police car, the girls remained unruly, shouting loudly, "I am a minor," as if it were some kind of get-out-of-jail-free card, displaying an exceptionally arrogant attitude.

At the police station, the girls were taken in for questioning, and their attitude was that of someone who was completely unfazed.

The police first checked the group's bags and found dangerous liquid, then questioned them about how they obtained Xie Yan's private information.

The girls gave different answers. Some said that these kinds of things are everywhere online now, while one girl nonchalantly said that someone else sent them to her and that it had nothing to do with her.

Xie Yan gave a brief statement and listened to the police explain the current situation to her.

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Could I see the phone of the girl who first leaked my address? I want to see who told her."

"sure."

Xie Yan took the person's phone and opened Weibo, discovering that she was indeed a die-hard fan of Bai Xiao's fan club, even a sasaeng fan, with her Weibo homepage filled with videos of her following Bai Xiao to the airport.

She would even post on Weibo to scold Bai Xiao for driving too fast and not greeting them. She said that they had finally skipped school to chase after their idols, and this was how she treated them. She called Bai Xiao cold-blooded.

Xie Yan couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. This wasn't a fan; it was an enemy!

It seems that being a top celebrity like Bai Xiao must be quite tiring.

I saw the latest post, and judging from the posting time, she was indeed the first person to expose Xie Yan's address.

Xie Yan clicked into her chat box and found that a small, anonymous account had messaged her a few hours earlier, sending her all of Xie Yan's information at once.

This information included not only Xie Yan's address, but also her ID number and university major, revealing extremely detailed details. It even claimed that Xie Yan was involved with several men at the same time and had a chaotic private life.

Xie Yan frowned and secretly memorized this person's Weibo ID.

After all that trouble, it was already past midnight.

The parents of several underage girls were called over. Adults are generally more rational and spoke kindly to Xie Yan, hoping to reconcile, since Xie Yan hadn't suffered any real harm.

Xie Yan was moved but refused.

Reconciliation is impossible.

If pepper spray or paint got into her eyes, it would be no joke. If Xie Yan hadn't reacted quickly, she might already be in the hospital.

Xie Yan was determined to teach these kids a lesson through the law, even if it meant being detained for a few days or being disciplined by the school.

At 1 a.m., Xie Yan was finally able to go home again, but by then the door of her house was already crowded with live streamers who came to ride the wave of her popularity.

A large group of men and women were holding up their phones, shouting things like, "Everyone, send me some 'big health care' messages and I'll ring Xie Yan's doorbell for the guys in the live stream," or "Top star Bai Xiao's mysterious female companion has finally been revealed! I'm downstairs at Xie Yan's house right now, and I'll take you all to see her today."

"..."

Xie Yan was speechless.

Don't these streamers sleep at night? Are they that free?

They come here just by the smell; they're more annoying than flies.

It seems like we can't live here anymore, and we'll have to move again.

After another half hour of trouble, Xie Yan finally arrived at an e-sports hotel. The standard double room even came with a decent computer.

Xie Yan stretched, sat down in front of the computer, sighed expressionlessly, but her eyes flashed with a sharp light.

[Tongtong, actually I've always been a model citizen.]

The system was confused. "So, you're now becoming a bad citizen?"

Xie Yan logged onto Weibo on her computer and replied, "I've always disdained prying into other people's privacy, but now I have no choice. I've clearly been set up."

She hasn't been living in her current apartment for very long, and she hasn't even bought anything online. There are only two ways her apartment address was leaked.

It's either the landlord or someone she knows; someone is deliberately trying to get revenge on her.

But Xie Yan felt that it was probably unrelated to the landlord, who was just a retired aunt and had no grudge against her.

In that case, that anonymous account is a potential breakthrough point.

Xie Yan's fingers moved fluently across the keyboard, returning to her absolute domain at this moment.

She was originally a cybersecurity professional, so checking an account without any protection was easier than adding one to one.

Soon, a string of IP addresses appeared on the screen.

Although this account was not linked to any identity information or registered under a real name, Xie Yan tracked it down and found that the other party's IP address was in a certain hospital.

Xie Yan stared at the computer screen, lost in thought.

Her slender, pale fingers tapped idly back and forth on the table, her eyes filled with thought.

"Li Chuan."

The magnetic female voice was somewhat deep, carrying a certain rational certainty.

"I almost forgot about you, kid."

Li Chuan is that greasy senior from the School of Intelligent Systems who, while leading other students to boycott Xie Yan's transfer to another department and posting negative posts about her, also lusts after Xie Yan's beauty and publicly asks her to spend the night with him.

Then Shen Yan cracked his skull open and sent him to the hospital.

Caught off guard, Xie Yan thought of Shen Yan and pursed her lips.

[Master, how is Shen Yan doing lately?]

Ever since she kicked him out late at night that day, she has been deliberately avoiding Shen Yan in her mind these past few days, unwilling to think about anything related to him, and has not asked the system about it.

Xie Yan has been strong-willed since childhood and simply cannot accept being forcibly kissed. She was genuinely furious that day.

But after visiting Yang Huiyun these past two days, when she saw her feeding Zhuangzhuang leftovers, Shen Yan's question echoed clearly in her mind.

He asked her if she treated him like a dog.

Xie Yan felt indignant at the time, thinking that even if she lived alone, she would still bring back uneaten food to eat by herself, and it had nothing to do with Shen Yan.

However, putting myself in Shen Yan's shoes, he is more sensitive than the average person, so she might have indeed overlooked a little bit.

Humans are not machines; there will always be times when they can't attend to everything. Xie Yan is not a saint either; she's not all-powerful.

The system's voice suddenly rang out, "[You haven't asked for days. I thought you didn't care whether Shen Yan lived or died.]"

Xie Yan clicked aimlessly on the mouse, pretending to browse the news, her brows slightly furrowed. [Can't I even ask casually? Fine, don't tell me if you don't want to, I'm not really interested anyway.]

System: [Fine, if you don't care, then I won't say anything.]

Xie Yan: [...]

After a moment of silence, the system finally broke the slightly awkward deadlock.

Although the system had previously been biased against Shen Yan for the sake of the plot, Shen Yan has recently clearly taken a different approach to the plot, which can be considered a roundabout way to achieve his goal.

The system felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

Therefore, it was happy to mention Shen Yan a few more times at this point.

Okay, then I'll tell you. Shen Yan has been doing well lately. He's been working very hard since joining the company, and his mental state is relatively stable; he hasn't had any episodes of illness.

Xie Yan nodded expressionlessly, said "oh," and didn't react in any special way.

She stared at the screen for a long time, then her fingers started typing again, intruding into a restricted area.

City Center Hospital.

In the VIP ward.

Li Chuan was lying in bed eating a late-night snack.

He suffered multiple fractures from Xie Qingyu's beating and hasn't been able to get out of bed for a month now.

Compared to him, Wang Zhiyuan, who was standing next to him, was only slightly injured and was already able to get out of bed and walk around with crutches.

With one arm in a cast, Wang Zhiyuan sat by Li Chuan's bedside, reading him some negative comments about Xie Yan from Weibo.

Bai Xiao is a top celebrity, so this matter has generated a lot of buzz, and there are quite a few voices criticizing Xie Yan.

However, the internet is not without memory. Xie Yan did save Bai Xiao before, so a large number of netizens are still relatively rational.

Knowing that Li Chuan was indignant, Wang Zhiyuan naturally chose to read the most unpleasant words.

Li Chuan ate his kebabs while listening to the online criticism, and he felt extremely satisfied.

"What's going on at Xie Yan's home? Have any brainless fans gone over there and thrown acid at her? That slut's face is just a menace."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhiyuan silently scrolled through the trending topics, and photos of Xie Yan escorting fans to police cars in the middle of the night had surfaced.

Xie Yan in the photo looks like she could take on ten men at once, and is clearly not in the terrible state that Li Chuan imagined.

So Wang Zhiyuan showed Li Chuan a short video of a streamer broadcasting downstairs, "Brother Chuan, look, Xie Yan is so scared she's afraid to even turn on the lights at home. Serves her right! Who told her to flirt with men everywhere!"

Hearing this, Li Chuan curled his lip in dissatisfaction, his lips still glistening with the oil from the kebabs. "These brainless fans are no good. I even asked my buddy to sneak into the director's office to look at her transfer registration information, and she's nothing."

Although Xie Qingyu made a threatening statement before leaving on the day he was beaten, forbidding Li Chuan from doing anything bad to Xie Yan, Li Chuan completely took advantage of the brainless fans today. Moreover, he specifically changed to a different account, and he was very confident that no matter what, the investigation would not trace it back to him.

Li Chuan has been lying around eating all sorts of supplements lately, without any exercise. He looks much more bloated than last month, and his eyes are almost squeezed out by the fat on his face.

He grew angrier the more he thought about it. "No way, what was Xie Yan thinking? She hooked up with two members of the Gu family, and now she's all entangled with some gigolo. Such a promiscuous woman, why did she give me the cold shoulder the other day? It's not like I'm broke!!"

His extremely loud voice was filled with anger.

Wang Zhiyuan remained silent.

He glanced at Li Chuan's oily face, and then recalled the faces of the three people Li Chuan had mentioned.

how to say.

It's hard to judge.

Although he usually gets his food and drinks by flattering Li Chuan, it doesn't mean he's blind.

But Li Chuan seemed to have gotten angry and kept nagging at Xie Yan.

"First place in the provincial competition? Her? She must have cheated! She definitely cheated!"

The thought of being unable to participate due to injury made Li Chuan furious.

Upon learning that Xie Yan had won first place, Li Chuan was completely overwhelmed.

Xie Yan is a girl, and a new transfer student at that. How could she possibly surpass so many boys to get first place?

"If I hadn't gone this year, would she have gotten first place? Dream on!!"

Li Chuan lay in bed for a whole month, unable to go out to eat, drink, gamble, and whore, and he was going crazy from being cooped up.

His face was contorted, and Wang Zhiyuan was so frightened by his state that he dared not speak.

"Wang Zhiyuan, once I've recovered, I'm going to pull off a big heist. Are you willing to let this go?"

Having witnessed the ruthlessness of the two members of the Gu family, Wang Zhiyuan knew all too well that he couldn't get involved in the affairs of wealthy families, and he was already having second thoughts.

But he didn't show it on his face, instead asking with feigned curiosity, "Brother Chuan, how do you plan to vent your anger?"

A cold smile flashed in Li Chuan's beady eyes.

"She loves flirting with men, right? I'll let her flirt to her heart's content!"
