Chapter 47 - Playing dirty tricks

The girl running the final leg for Class S had long, straight blue hair and a dazzling gemstone lip piercing on her lower lip.

This single gemstone is worth three billion star coins.

She is the daughter of the jewelry tycoon of the Imperial Star, Lin Yiyao.

The store's prized possession was taken out for the daughter to play with, which clearly showed the family's indulgence towards her.

Lin Yiyao glanced at Wen Meng, just some obscure minor character.

You still dare to compete with her on the same stage?

Wen Meng felt the hostile gaze from beside her, which was understandable.

After all, once on the field, everyone becomes an enemy.

Everyone wants to win.

The third runner for the girls in Class A was Jiang Shishi, who had just lost to Wen Meng.

Because the speed of the first two runners was slightly slower than Class S, even though she tried her best to catch up after receiving the baton, she was still a step behind.

The other party completed the handover first.

Lin Yiyao started running.

Jiang Shishi wished her arm could fly out, directly passing the baton into Wen Meng's hand.

It's a bit late, but that's okay

When Wen Meng started running, an uncontrollable excitement surged in Jiang Shishi's chest!

Even though in the past three years, he had hardly spoken to this girl.

But at this moment, she truly believed that Wen Meng could create a miracle!

As she had anticipated, even though the baton was passed late during the fourth leg,

Wen Meng also chased after in an instant!

The students of Class S, who had originally thought victory was in their grasp, all deflated like balloons at the sight of this scene.

The cheers and shouts of encouragement were gone, replaced by the howling wind in my ears.

In the corner of Lin Yiyao's vision, a stunningly beautiful girl's profile appeared.

It was only for a moment, and then she could only see the back of her head.

How is that possible?!

For a moment, whether it was shock or anger, the surging emotions overwhelmed Lin Yiyao's reason

She wished she could tear apart anyone who stood in her way.

She was used to others watching her back; she would never allow anyone to run ahead of her!!

Swish—

Several vine tendrils as thick as an arm shot out of nowhere, growing and spreading wildly forward

Entwined around the girl's slender ankle.

When a person moving at high speed is obstructed by an external force, they are bound to fall.

Wen Meng was caught off guard and lost control of her body, falling heavily to the ground.

What's going on?

But before she could react.

The thorny vines extended their branches, like coarse ropes, wrapping her tightly.

Then, with a sudden burst, she was catapulted into the sky.

In the air, all the branches instantly spread apart.

When Li Yuan went to buy some water, he returned to see Wen Meng falling from mid-air.

Like a broken rag doll, it landed lightly on the plastic track.

The four bottles of peach soda in my hand scattered.

To avoid suspicion, Li Yuan bought gifts for the other three girls participating in the relay race as well.

Lin Yiyao's fingers moved, and the vines silently retreated

Those criminals returned to her fingertips.

And she had already reached the finish line.

Class S won!

There were no cheers; everyone was stunned by the sudden turn of events.

Even though they knew that their classmates might have supernatural abilities, using such powers was strictly forbidden at school.

Unless it is an inconspicuous superpower,

For example, moving objects.

When getting food in the cafeteria, the lady serving the food would scoop, and as she scooped, you would move the meat she scooped away back onto your plate

Let the old lady be left in solitude.

Using this special ability, no one would care.

However, Lin Yiyao's vine ability was directly unleashed in full view of everyone.

To win the competition, resorting to such despicable means is truly disgraceful.

Moreover, from her actions in the latter half, it was clear that she wasn't merely aiming to win

Otherwise, the story could have come to an abrupt end when Wen Meng tripped.

She clearly wanted Wen Meng's life!

After Wen Meng fell, she lost consciousness on the spot.

Blood flowed from her nostrils, eyes, and the corners of her mouth, streaming down into her collar

Against her fair skin, it appeared even more shocking.

She had suffered a severe internal injury, and her hand finally lost its strength and released, causing Class A's relay baton to roll onto the rubber track.

She had been holding on tightly all along, never letting go.

All the students present had never witnessed such a scene

No one dared to step forward to check Wen Meng's injuries.

Injured like this, she's probably dead, right?

A pair of strong arms lifted Wen Meng up. In the crook of that person's embrace, she was like a sleeping kitten.

If you ignore her shattered face and the blood.

Blood stained the man's limited edition white jersey, leaving specks of crimson.

Li Yuan held Wen Meng in his arms and stopped when they passed by the blue-haired girl

He clearly saw the place where those vines returned.

Li Yuan turned his head, his face devoid of any extra expression

The tone was as cold as the Grim Reaper

"Tell me your name."

Holy Spirit Hospital.

The highest-ranking noble hospital in the Imperial Star for medical care,

Skilled at snatching people from the hands of death, it is said that even a freshly unearthed corpse, as long as there is still a breath left, can be saved.

Just after getting on the ambulance, Li Yuan realized that Wen Meng's condition was not as simple as just falling from a high altitude and being unconscious.

There was a bloody hole in her back.

Blood kept seeping out, staining the pristine ambulance bed with crimson.

In no time, a misty red edge enveloped her entire being.

The medical staff acted swiftly, administering a potent healing injection to her

The bleeding had barely stopped.

Based on their previous experiences, if it were merely a fall from a high altitude, it would never have caused such severe injuries.

It was evident that the vines did not merely entangle her; secretly, they had also sprouted sharp black thorns like steel needles, piercing through her heart

The attack of a superhuman is lethal to ordinary people.

These vines, through their sharp black thorns, injected neurotoxins into Wen Meng's body.

Melted her flesh and blood.

The two medical staff exchanged a glance.

She seems... to have stopped breathing.

They had seen too many examples like this.

However, in front of this man, no one dared to say those words.

Only those from the prominent families who fund the Holy Spirit Hospital can summon the hospital's ambulance aircar.

Even the ordinary nobility had no power.

It is evident that this girl must be very important to him

Even though she no longer breathed, and her heart had stopped beating,

Basically, it was no different from being dead

He still had to save her.
