She didn’t provoke the other side, yet the other side infuriated the military.

This maneuver was not sophisticated, and could even be described as sinister, yet it was an overt strategy nonetheless.

The reason it’s an overt strategy is that even if you suffer a setback, you can’t accuse her of being morally flawed, nor can you say she deliberately set a trap.

If you can control your damned hands and mouth, there wouldn’t be any lawsuits following.

As soon as this little shrimp got into trouble, the big ones and little ones all fell silent.

Even those criticizing Admiral Bai disappeared completely, and the world became quiet again.

Su Xiaocai felt that honor seemed useless, but at crucial moments it did come in handy.

Her efforts were not in vain.

After defusing this storm, Su Xiaocai hurried to the next battleground, as Xue Huiyi was going to court.

She wanted to witness the excitement firsthand, to see her sentencing with her own eyes.

The trial of Xue Huiyi was not open to the public, but Su Xiaocai and other victims could attend.

Yu Haoming acted as her assistant secretary, Ji Li as her family doctor, along with two bodyguards, who were unrelated but allowed entry due to Su Xiaocai’s special status.

The courtroom’s style was primitive and unadorned.

The solid wood chairs were richly patinaed, surrounded by solemn signs, making everyone naturally lower their voice while speaking.

There were already several shadows in the audience, projections of victims who applied to use the simulation pods to attend the trial, their forms indistinct, likely wishing to stay out of the Xue Family’s sight.

Su Xiaocai sat on the victim’s side of the seating, and shortly after, the representatives and relatives of the suspect appeared.

Those present were Xue Feiqun, Xue Feiting and Yi Xue, the two lawyers from the Xue Family, and Xue Zhiyi.

It was Su Xiaocai’s first time seeing Xue Zhiyi in person, and she couldn’t help but stare.

With snow-white skin and large eyes, his expression was dazed, like a lifeless porcelain doll.

Photos do not capture even half of his beauty, truly stunning.

"The Xue Family’s genes are really quite good." Su Xiaocai appraised Xue Zhiyi with an appreciative gaze. He had many similarities with Yi Xue, with gentle features, making it hard to distinguish gender if in a dress.

Ji Li: "Very good-looking?"

"Hmm, in the future, I want a child this good-looking. Remember to train well, and if we break up, please leave behind a healthy sperm frozen for me." Conceiving through an instrument without suffering through ten months of pregnancy, quite nice.

Su Xiaocai didn’t mind having a child, if they looked good, they could even be forgiven a bit.

But she was just talking nonsense, teasing him, while also trying to dispel someone’s jealousy.

Ji Li silently gritted his teeth, this person’s thinking process was just abnormal, completely shameless.

Not even seriously dating, yet already thinking about having kids, wishful thinking.

If she had a child, what would it achieve, except to play?

The Vegetable Farmer Team was also a product of her playful nature, she grandly claimed it was to cultivate the next generation of Admirals.

But even if a normal person had such thoughts, they would certainly cast a wide net, who would invest so much just to nurture ten people with uncertain futures?

Only if it’s driven by interest and play, can cost be disregarded.

Su Xiaocai was excitedly observing others, her gaze never stopping, like a country girl, finding everything novel.

Some victims also came to the scene. Seeing Su Xiaocai, they were equally excited, came to shake hands and quietly greeted her.

Su Xiaocai knew wherever she went, she was a "star," and very naturally shook hands back, greeted them, and chatted quietly, observing their current living conditions.

Yi Xue turned her head, seeing Su Xiaocai’s face full of joy, surrounded by people who all hoped for this trial.

She already knew that both Xue Huiyi and Su Xiaocai were once children from that orphanage.

Xue Huiyi was the one who mainly said this; the Xue Family wanted to investigate, but couldn’t find out, as Su Xiaocai’s files were sealed, making it difficult even with money to dig out information.

They simply let the lawyer uncover the deep-seated reasons for the enmity.

Su Xiaocai, the child they initially considered adopting.

Yi Xue felt guilty, it was because Xue Huiyi was more likable and presented herself more perfectly, thus she unguardedly embraced Xue Huiyi, excluding the option of Su Xiaocai.

At that time, Xue Feiting had advised her to choose younger children, but she didn’t listen.

In hindsight, how could a young child, without pretense, achieve "perfection"?

Even at such a young age, she was full of schemes to represent her cousin, Xue Huiyi would indeed never get Su Xiaocai’s forgiveness.

She enjoyed the good life, yet at the sight of Su Xiaocai, she still feared being replaced by her. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

A classic case of paranoid delusion.

Actually, it’s not Xue Huiyi’s paranoid delusion, because in her "past life" she thought this way, projecting onto others, she too believed Su Xiaocai threatened her status and coveted her identity.
