Chapter 12422

Chapter 12422

Left with no other choice, Yang Qing'er had to step in herself.

With her abilities, she could certainly make Sima Bozhong suffer a setback. After all, she was able to organize such a large-scale event from scratch, and her abilities were already evident to all.

Unfortunately, Sima Bozhong was reckless and didn't care about suffering a few minor setbacks. He turned around and continued to cause trouble.

To put it bluntly, as the stone that Lin Yi threw out to test the waters, its mission was to conduct reconnaissance with firepower.

I joined the Termination Society with the intention of causing trouble.

With the Sima family's prestige protecting him, Yang Qing'er, unless she's completely out of her mind, wouldn't actually try to kill him.

Yang Qing'er certainly didn't have the guts.

Otherwise, if the Sima family seizes the opportunity to make trouble, not only her, but even the person behind her might not be able to cover it up.

That would be a huge problem.

Yang Qing'er was filled with remorse. If she had known this would happen, she shouldn't have accepted Sima Bozhong into the society.

Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.

It is easy to ask God but difficult to send Him away.

Now, the difficulty of expelling Sima Bozhong has increased exponentially. Sima Bozhong has received Lin Yi's orders, so even if he is to fail, he will fail at the end of the meeting. How could he possibly leave?

Furthermore, Sima Bozhong's status as one of the first second-generation members of a prominent family to join the association carries significant symbolic meaning.

If we openly expel him, will we still be able to take in the other second-generation members of aristocratic families?
However, Yang Qing'er was not someone to be trifled with.

Since sweet talk is useless, then we'll resort to extreme measures. After all, she's not a good person anyway.

Sima Bozhong was quickly taken into custody and completely cut off from the outside world.

Seeing himself trapped inside the secret barrier, Sima Bozhong sneered, "You actually dare to imprison me? You've got some nerve. Have you thought about how to deal with the Sima family's retaliation?"

Yang Qing'er asked calmly, "Revenge? Revenge for what?"

"You joined our Termination Society voluntarily, and you participated in our internal activities voluntarily. Everything is normal, right?"

"Don't worry, I've already had someone inform your family that you're going to participate in an internal closed-door training program. It's uncertain when you'll be able to leave."

"The Sima family reacted calmly to this, and did not even send anyone to confirm it."

“Young Master Sima, it seems your position in the Sima family isn’t that important after all. I was really worried before, but now it seems I was just overthinking it.”

Sima Bozhong: "..."

The Sima family has always been indifferent to human relationships, so their reaction was entirely expected.

However, he was certain of one thing: the other party would never dare to actually kill him.

It's not that I believe in blood ties, but rather in human nature.

The Sima family certainly wouldn't care about his life or death, but if they could use this as an excuse to seize some benefits, they would be more eager than anyone else.

Even without wind, waves can be stirred up, let alone when there is a legitimate reason for the attack.
If the Sima family were to let such an opportunity slip by, would they still be the Sima family?
Sima Bozhong sneered and replied, "You don't dare to kill me, so you plan to keep me locked up forever?"

Yang Qing'er smiled slightly and said, "As I just said, Young Master Sima, you are in seclusion for further study. We'll talk about going into seclusion when you've finished your studies."

"They have guts."

Sima Bozhong was secretly worried.

If the other party is really determined to keep him locked up like this, then the task Lin Yi gave him will not be completed.

However, not responding is itself a response.

Lin Yi has other plans for the future.

His concern was that his delay in sending the message might jeopardize Lin Yi's plans.

"Young Master Sima, you should stay here and cultivate in seclusion."

Yang Qing'er was about to leave when she was blocked by Li Tianguo and the other two.

Yang Qing'er's eyelids twitched: "Young Master Li, Young Master Cao, Miss Zhao."

These three are far more important than Sima Bozhong.

The three of them are genuine top-tier second-generation rich kids. If she dares to treat them the same way she treated Sima Bozhong, she will face annihilation in no time!

She was well aware of the little tricks Li Tianguo and his two companions had been up to all this time.

Fortunately, it wasn't too excessive, so they chose to turn a blind eye.

In fact, even if things went too far, she wouldn't dare to act rashly.

Li Tianguo glanced at Sima Bozhong: "He's a member of our circle after all. It's not fair for the vice president to just imprison him like this."

Zhao Ning raised an eyebrow: "He doesn't seem to have done anything out of line, does he?"

Cao Luoshen did not speak. He looked down on Sima Bozhong to the core, but since they had come forward together, it naturally showed his attitude.

"..."

Yang Qing'er was at a loss for words.

Sima Bozhong, who was directly involved, was even more bewildered than she was at this moment.

Sima Bozhong was well aware of his own popularity within the second-generation elite circle.

Even if we don't say he's universally disliked, he's definitely not popular. Especially in the top-tier second-generation circle where Li Tianguo and his two friends are, they wouldn't even give him a second glance.

If it were just Li Tianguo alone, it wouldn't be so bad, since he's known for being good at making friends. But the fact that Cao Luoshen and Zhao Ning also came along really baffled him.

He truly hadn't expected that these three would actually stand up for him!

Li Tianguo said in a low voice, "Imprisoning core members of aristocratic families—what kind of thing is that in Tianjun? The vice president shouldn't be unaware of that, right?"

“Once this matter is exposed, all the aristocratic families in Tianjun will be alarmed.”

"At that time, the Heavenly Palace will definitely intervene personally."

There's no need to say anything more.

Admittedly, Yang Qing'er is backed by a powerful figure from the Heavenly Palace. Without the Heavenly Palace's tacit approval, the Termination Society would never have existed.

But it's one thing to have someone behind the scenes stirring things up, but it's quite another to make it public.

Some things should absolutely not be weighed.

Otherwise, Yang Qing'er's white gloves would have no purpose whatsoever.

Cao Luoshen said playfully, "Actually, I'm quite looking forward to seeing what it will be like."

He had an expression that clearly showed he was enjoying the spectacle.

Ultimately, most of the people who snuck in were just there to watch the show.

Yang Qing'er's expression shifted several times before she could only lower her head and say, "I can release him, but on one condition: he must leave the Termination Society."

Sima Bozhong shouted directly, "That's impossible! I've already paid the membership fee, why should I withdraw?"

Yang Qing'er said in a deep voice, "I can refund your membership fee."

Sima Bozhong crossed his arms: "How much should I refund?"

Yang Qing'er frowned: "Twice."

For her, this was simply a case of losing money to avoid disaster.

Sima Bozhong remained unmoved.

Yang Qing'er had no choice but to raise the price: "Three times!"

Sima Bozhong looked at her like she was an idiot: "Nothing is possible without ten times the return."

Yang Qing'er was furious: "Don't push your luck!"
