Chapter 146: Pay Grudges on the Spot, Slap Faces on the Spot—Letting It Wait Overnight Is Your Incompetence

“Shameless.” Sui Xuan Chu practically vibrated with rage. “Lang Xin Rui, Lang Xin Chong, Lang Xin Ping—those three trash wolves. No decency, no shame, stealing my roommate’s credit.”

Cheng Xiao Ting’s mouth twisted. He was related to them so distantly it barely counted, but when Sui Xuan Chu cursed them, it still felt like splash damage.

He snarled, joining in. “They’re disgusting. That white wolf clan—man or woman, they’re selfish, cowardly, calculating. White-eyed wolves.”

“Forget you not believing they killed five bugs. I don’t believe it either, and I’m their so-called ‘relative.’”

Ju Que and Zhang Ting Zhou nodded, faces dark.

“Insect clan that go undercover in another country as spies—those are elites among elites,” Zhang Ting Zhou said. “If it was really five of them, and those three were up against them… that wouldn’t be a fight. That would be them offering themselves as dinner.”

Huang Da Zhuang slammed in the final nail. “Exactly. Those five bugs were killed by Sister Tea. They used the dead angle, ran in, injured themselves, smeared bug blood all over, dragged the corpses out, and claimed the credit.”

“They can say whatever they want—no cameras, no witnesses, and they did walk in and walk out with bodies.”

They were all so angry it was hard to breathe.

Jiang Tea Tea, who’d stayed silent the whole time, said calmly, “You’re wrong.”

Everyone froze and stared at her.

Jiang Tea Tea lifted her chin a fraction. “Those five bugs really were killed by them.”

The group’s eyes went wide as if they’d been struck.

Sui Xuan Chu blurted, “How is that possible? I was fighting other dragon clan in the air. I watched you chase those bugs.”

“After that you came back to save me, and you told me you put seven bugs down. Now you’re telling me those five weren’t killed by you? Roommate, are you messing with me?”

“I’m not.” Jiang Tea Tea nodded once. “They didn’t steal the kill credit.”

She paused. Then her lips curved into a cold, mocking smile.

“They just picked up my scraps.”

“I shot those five bugs full of tranquilizers. At least five shots each. They were unconscious. They couldn’t fight back.”

“My three bargain-bin brothers and sister walked in and finished them off. Then they dragged the bodies out and claimed they killed them.”

“Technically? They did.”

The air exploded.

Huang Da Zhuang, Ju Que, Zhang Ting Zhou—everyone cursed at once.

“Damn! I’ve seen shameless, but I’ve never seen shameless like this.”

“Beast God above, that’s disgusting.”

Cheng Xiao Ting’s face went dark. His so-called clan’s face was being ground into the mud.

He was already thinking about biting them to death at midnight and ripping their fur out.

The group’s anger surged—then slammed into a wall.

Because Jiang Tea Tea was right.

They could investigate all they wanted. On paper, the fact would stand:

Those three had killed five bugs.

They just wouldn’t mention the bugs had been sedated and helpless.

“We have to go to the school leadership!” Huang Da Zhuang said fiercely. “We can’t just swallow this.”

“Even if they finished the kills, the first credit belongs to Sister Tea. It has to belong to Sister Tea.”

“Yeah! Let’s go—”

Huang Da Zhuang and the others turned, only to see Jiang Tea Tea tilt her chin toward the path ahead.

“Look.”

They followed her gaze.

Lang Xin Rui, Lang Xin Ping, and Lang Xin Chong were walking toward them, smiling and waving.

“Good morning, Classmate Jiang Tea Tea, Classmate Sui Xuan Chu, and everyone,” Lang Xin Rui called brightly. “Are you heading to the principal’s office, or the director’s office?”

“Perfect. We’re going too. Let’s walk together. We can chat about last night’s thrilling fight.”

Lang Xin Ping stepped up smoothly, eyes gleaming. “Yeah. After midnight, the whole academy didn’t sleep. Everyone was checked. But the three of you disappeared.”

“Where did you go? Tell us on the way.”

Huang Da Zhuang and the others couldn’t hold it anymore. They surged forward, voices sharp.

“Shameless trash. Who gave you the courage to walk over here with your faces intact?”

“Where we went is none of your damn business!”

“You call yourselves role models? You know exactly how you got that praise.”

“No cameras, so you think you can say anything?”

“You even have the nerve to go to the principal’s office? I’m embarrassed for you.”

The volume drew attention.

Students nearby slowed, then stopped, eyes glittering with gossip.

The triplets didn’t look flustered at all. Lang Xin Rui’s smile only widened. “Is there some misunderstanding? Why are you so angry?”

“We all know what happened last night. The insect clan infiltrated the academy and released aberrant beasts. Your eight-person squad protected the school, protected the property, saved many classmates.”

“The school intranet put us on the banner front page, and your eight-person squad on the second page. Your deeds are worthy of learning from.”

“The Police Bureau, Special Operations Bureau, the military, even Commander-in-Chief Chong Ming’s bodyguard unit—everyone knows your names. You’ll get rewards later.”

She spread her hands as if she were the reasonable one. “We killed five bugs. That’s different from what you did.”

“Your credit is credit. Our credit is credit.”

“There’s no need to treat us like enemies, like we have no strength just because we’re seniors.”

They were confident because, at the end of the day, they had truly killed five bugs. No one could erase that.

And in their minds, that meant they deserved the bonus—and deserved future rewards too.

Sui Xuan Chu and the others stared, stunned by how shamelessly they said it.

They were about to explode again—

When Jiang Tea Tea stepped in front of them.

Her voice was crisp and cold. “Calm down. I’ll handle it.”

The seven behind her fell silent instantly, lining up behind her like an unbreakable wall.

Jiang Tea Tea looked at the triplets. “I have one question.”

Lang Xin Rui beamed. “Junior, ask. As seniors, we’ll answer anything we can.”

Jiang Tea Tea said, “Those five bugs in Jin Garden Zone—did you kill them the way the forum claims? A fierce fight, a life-and-death struggle, and then victory?”

“Of course.” Lang Xin Rui didn’t hesitate. “We were badly wounded before we—”

Lang Xin Ping cut in too fast, stuffing the gap. “We fought them fiercely. We seized their tranquilizer gun during the struggle. When we tried to sedate them, they fought back violently. We were in mortal danger. We used everything we had to kill them.”

Lang Xin Chong nodded hard. “Exactly. We already told the teachers and school leadership everything.”

Lang Xin Rui rushed to echo, “Yes, yes. That’s the process. If you don’t understand, go read the intranet post again, Junior.”

They’d almost slipped.

But they’d rehearsed. They had a story.

Jiang Tea Tea nodded slowly. “I understand.”

Then, without warning, she raised her hand.

“Now we fight.”
