Chapter 160: Incitement

Corbin looked at Song Chen, "It’s the Burles family. I don’t want the power of the Burles family, I just want the Burles family... gone!"The current Burles family is like a building infested with termites: it looks luxurious, but inside it’s already decayed and rotten. He has no desire for it.

Every extra minute spent there disgusts him.

Corbin’s eyes flashed with a hint of cold light.

"I’m the illegitimate son of the Burles family, and each day there is like living in deep water and fire!"

"I originally had a good mother... but because of them, my mother..."

Expelled, forced, turned into a breeding tool, until she died!

Corbin clenched his fists, steadied his emotions, and then said, "Esie is bound to be a hidden threat sooner or later. Both Song Chen and I know very well how crazy he is. Even if he escapes trouble for a while, he’ll do something even crazier."

Like hurting Yu Man, and Yu Manman.

The best way is to eliminate this hidden threat.

"I made a deal with Lai. I provide information to Lai, and he will help me fight the Burles family."

"Rest assured, he will be fine." Corbin said, "Esie’s father isn’t unaware of what he’s up to, but you have the Rest Pod, so he won’t let Esie go too far." For more chapters visıt novelhall.com

After all, they plan to use Lai as a bargaining chip.

Corbin’s words seemed light, as if they were inconsequential.

However, seeing the wound on his forehead, Song Chen knew that since Lai was captured by Esie, things wouldn’t go smoothly...

"Our brothers’ wife Freya is also on my side. She is now by Esie’s side and will pass the information to me."

Yu Man recalled the females who were initially by Esie’s side and didn’t trust Corbin much.

They are actually in a precarious situation themselves, how can they protect Lai?

"I came over tonight just to tell you about this so you wouldn’t worry."

"I hope you can trust us." Corbin didn’t say much more and got up to leave.

It wasn’t easy coming over.

Yu Man frowned slightly, "Did he come over just to tell us this?"

"He’s trying to win us over," Song Chen pondered, "but... there’s definitely someone behind him."

How can a monitored person confuse Jenkins? Who’s tampering with and disabling the monitoring system?

Even if it’s nighttime now, he could pretend to be asleep, but how can he guarantee nothing will go wrong?

If he’s only by himself, without any backing, why would Freya favor the weakest and least noticeable Corbin and be willing to risk being his insider?

Meeting with them, even befriending Lai, maybe there’s someone behind him pulling the strings too.

But Song Chen was still unclear whether the person behind Corbin bore any malice towards them and what their intentions were.

As things are unclear now, they can only wait and see.

"We have to trust Lai." Song Chen hugged Yu Man’s shoulder.

"I know."

Yu Man’s face was slightly downcast.

...

"Mom!"

Yu Manman returned from Lu’an Primary School, eagerly calling for Yu Man.

"What is it, Manman?"

"Mom, look!" Yu Manman secretly transferred the file from her Light Brain to Yu Man’s.

Yu Man opened it and was stunned.

...

Today while at school, Yu Manman received a task.

A few days ago, a teacher needed rest due to injury and was soon replaced by another teacher.

"Hello everyone, I’m your new teacher. My name is Rock, and from today onwards, I’ll be your foreign language teacher."

Yu Manman didn’t pay much attention.

However, this Rock teacher seemed to have a peculiar focus on her, often calling her name in class, praising her frequently, while quietly criticizing those children who were slower in response.

After a few days, the kids in the class seemed no longer friendly towards Yu Manman.

When Yu Manman wanted to help, other kids avoided her.

"We don’t need your help!"

"But I don’t mind? Why are you all avoiding me?"

Previously, many liked asking for her help?

"The teacher said we should be independent and not constantly bother you!"

He turned his head and left.

Yu Manman pressed his lips.

Teacher?

Yu Manman immediately thought of Rock.

Could it be him?

"Manman..." Around the corner in the hallway, Wen Jin beckoned to her.

Yu Manman only learned a few days ago that Wen Jin was at the same school! And he was just in the next class!

"What’s up, Wen Jin brother?"

Wen Jin pulled Yu Manman over and said, "Do you know who’s speaking ill of you?"

Yu Manman shook her head.

"Our foreign language teacher is the same person. He often praises you here too." Wen Jin whispered, "That teacher secretly told others that we’ve entered primary school and need to be independent. Always asking for help will only make others helping you think you’re stupid!"

Yu Manman’s eyes widened, she never thought so!

Obviously, that teacher’s maligning me!

She always thought that teacher was a bit off!

"I also heard that teacher whisper to others about how powerful your family is, advising us to play with you more and not offend you..."

Yu Manman’s mind was full of questions.

Why does it feel like this teacher is inviting hate for her?

Although Lu’an Primary School holds an egalitarian teaching philosophy, it could be considered an aristocratic school, where none of the students come from poor backgrounds?

Her family... doesn’t seem impressive either?

"Manman, he’s definitely not a good person!" Wen Jin said, "Don’t listen to him. If he truly cared for you, he wouldn’t treat you differently than others!"

Yu Manman nodded, "I understand, Wen Jin brother!"

After separating from Wen Jin, Yu Manman contemplated whether to explain to her classmates, but suddenly she saw Rock.

"Manman..."

"Good afternoon, teacher." Despite his immorality, she couldn’t entirely forgo politeness.

"Manman, I noticed your uncle has been picking you up from school recently?"

"Yes." Yu Manman nodded.

"I recall your mom is pregnant, right? With the new baby, why is she neglecting you? You’re a female cub, your parents should cater to you."

"..." Yu Manman sensed something, placing her hand behind her.

"You’re the eldest child in the family, and it’s only right to make room for your future siblings. But don’t worry, although your parents might focus more on the new child, they’re still your family..."

Hearing this, Yu Manman fully realized the malice Rock concealed.

In her previous life, she’d heard such words countless times.

Rock seemed to offer comfort, but was really sowing discord!

She’s not actually a five-year-old child; how could she be deceived by him?

Wait...

What if the book’s original protagonist was manipulated like this from a young age?
