Pair A? No Thanks! [Transmigration] - Chapter 23

The first video Su Wanxing clicked on was the surveillance footage from the Yi Nian coffee shop, sent by Shi Ning’s subordinate. The video showed Su Wanxing and Jiang Ningran after they entered the café.

At first, the two people in the video looked normal. They chose a booth behind some plants, which was quite secluded.

First, Jiang Ningran handed something to Su Wanxing, and Su Wanxing nodded.

The surveillance didn’t record sound, so one could only tell what was happening from the people’s actions.

Su Wanxing explained: “I forgot my class notes, and she brought them to me, which is why she asked me to get coffee.”

Shi Ning’s thumb was on her jaw, rubbing it gently, but she didn’t respond.

The video continued. Su Wanxing got up and went to the restroom. Coincidentally, the coffee arrived. Jiang Ningran nodded at the employee who brought the coffee, seemingly saying thank you, and then took something out of her bag. She held it tightly in her hand, and the camera couldn’t capture it.

This could be considered a blind spot for surveillance.

Seeing this, Shi Ning had reason to suspect that Jiang Ningran had deliberately chosen this blind spot. She had a plan, which was why she acted this way.

However, thankfully, there had been a theft at this coffee shop before, and the police had come to investigate. To prevent a similar situation, the manager had added hidden cameras in many places.

For example, behind Jiang Ningran, a small camera recorded what she was doing.

The employee had even thoughtfully edited the different views from the two cameras together to make it easier for Shi Ning, the CEO, to watch.

In the video, Jiang Ningran took a small bottle, similar to a laboratory reagent bottle, out of her bag. She then opened the stopper and poured a transparent liquid into Su Wanxing’s coffee cup. After doing all this, Jiang Ningran even used a spoon to stir Su Wanxing’s coffee gently.

Upon seeing this, both Su Wanxing and Shi Ning had confirmed the truth.

Jiang Ningran’s actions perfectly proved Shi Ning’s previous theory.

She had drugged the coffee.

The employee even thoughtfully sent a message to explain: “Ms. Shi, we checked. This is the most popular drug on the black market right now, called ‘Sleep for Three Days.’ After use, regardless of gender, a person will enter a heat cycle and may also experience drowsiness and a memory gap… They become a puppet to be manipulated.”

Seeing this, Su Wanxing covered her eyes with her hands, and tears flowed through the gaps between her fingers. Her cries, which had been small at first, grew louder, as if she were desperately suppressing something. Finally, she couldn’t hold it back anymore and let everything out.

Su Wanxing asked in a pained voice: “How could this happen?”

She didn’t even have the courage to continue watching.

In the video, Su Wanxing returned, completely unaware of what Jiang Ningran had just done.

Su Wanxing sat back down and held the coffee, taking small sips. She didn’t actually like coffee, but since Jiang Ningran had ordered it, she reluctantly took a few sips. Even though she hadn’t drunk enough…

It was clear that what Jiang Ningran had put in it was effective.

Soon, Su Wanxing became agitated. She lowered her head and kept grabbing at her skirt. In the video, Jiang Ningran seemed very concerned. She moved from her seat across from Su Wanxing and sat next to her, asking how she was. Su Wanxing moved away a bit but still didn’t put enough distance between herself and Jiang Ningran.

There were only so many small couches in the coffee shop, and Su Wanxing was almost pressed against the wall. Jiang Ningran kept moving closer to her.

You could see from the surveillance footage that there was some commotion in the entire coffee shop. Many people were looking around, and some had already gotten up, seemingly walking toward Su Wanxing. Jiang Ningran helped Su Wanxing up, held her in her arms, and walked outside. The video then cut to a black screen.

Su Wanxing probably couldn’t accept this.

Her crying had stopped, but the tears were still falling, almost forming a small pool. The pool contained all of her pain.

Shi Ning silently clicked on the next video. This video was the surveillance footage from the hotel lobby and elevator. You could see that Su Wanxing was almost completely unconscious, being helped by Jiang Ningran. Jiang Ningran reached into Su Wanxing’s clothes, took out her ID, and checked them in.

In the elevator, Jiang Ningran held Su Wanxing and even turned back to deliberately look at the camera. The elevator surveillance had a narrow range and could record sound, so Jiang Ningran’s voice came through: “Wanxing, are you okay?”

Shi Ning completely understood her trick.

This sentence was meant to show that she knew Su Wanxing and was concerned about her.

Jiang Ningran also said: “Don’t worry, we’re almost at the hotel you mentioned.”

This was meant to imply that going to the hotel was Su Wanxing’s idea.

Su Wanxing nodded softly and said docilely: “Okay.” She was hazy, pulling on Jiang Ningran’s clothes and saying: “Thank you.”

Hearing this, the corners of Jiang Ningran’s lips slightly curled up. Before getting out of the elevator, she looked at the camera again.

She just wanted to leave a record with this surveillance.

In the hallway, Su Wanxing’s steps were unsteady, and she relied entirely on Jiang Ningran to support her. Then, the video showed them opening the door with the room card and closing it behind them.

All the videos ended there.

What happened in the room was now a mystery to both Shi Ning and Su Wanxing, as hotels would never have cameras in the rooms. But according to Su Wanxing’s account, she and Jiang Ningran had likely had s3x.

Likely.

She said she slept and didn’t remember anything after waking up, so anything could have happened during that time.

The only person who knew the truth was Jiang Ningran, whom Shi Ning had just knocked out.

Shi Ning could think of this, and Su Wanxing wasn’t that stupid either. She could now understand this, and her face turned pale.

Often, things are scary because of the unknown.

And the time that was missing from Su Wanxing’s memory was the time that scared her the most. She was now sitting on the sofa, trembling all over, like a scared little rabbit with her long ears drooped down. Shi Ning picked up her phone, turned off the screen, and asked Su Wanxing: “Now, what do you want to do?”

There was no color on Su Wanxing’s face. The only colors were her red, teary eyes and her lips, which were almost swollen from biting them.

Su Wanxing thought for a long time and asked: “Sister Shi, can I… can I talk to Jiang Ningran?”

Shi Ning looked at Jiang Ningran, who had been knocked out, then at Su Wanxing’s persistent eyes. She sighed and walked over to Jiang Ningran. She assumed a martial arts stance, raising her hands from her abdomen to her jaw and then lowering them to her dantian. As she channeled her energy with her breathing, she went slap! Slap!

Two slaps landed on Jiang Ningran’s face.

Su Wanxing was dumbfounded, but the slaps were effective. After a few slaps, Jiang Ningran slowly woke up, her face completely red from Shi Ning’s blows.

She had probably just woken up and was still a little dazed. When she finally came to her senses, her tied-up wrists began to struggle non-stop, as if she wanted to get rid of the belt Shi Ning had tied on her.

Shi Ning held a cup of water out to Jiang Ningran: “My apologies, I hit a little too hard just now. Why don’t you have a sip of water and rest?”

Jiang Ningran glared at her, refusing to speak.

Shi Ning smiled and said: “Don’t worry, unlike you, I didn’t add anything.”

As soon as she said this, Jiang Ningran’s face changed drastically. “What do you mean?”

Shi Ning’s lips curved slightly, and her tone was dismissive. “Jiang Ningran, you’re a smart person. Don’t you understand what I mean? I’m waking you up just because Su Wanxing has something to say to you.”

She took a step back to allow Jiang Ningran to make eye contact with Su Wanxing, who was sitting on the sofa. Su Wanxing looked at Jiang Ningran, and after a long time, she clenched her fists and asked in a hoarse, tearful voice: “Jiang Ningran, why did you do that?”

She really didn’t understand.

Jiang Ningran sneered when she heard Su Wanxing’s words: “Do what? Everything with you, Su Wanxing, was consensual, wasn’t it?”

Su Wanxing argued loudly: “I didn’t want any of it! You didn’t even ask me!”

Jiang Ningran scoffed: “Su Wanxing, you and I both know. Some things, with seven women. Huh? Don’t act innocent. Since you were willing to be on top of them, why not me?”

Su Wanxing was shaking with anger. She walked over to Jiang Ningran and slapped her without a second thought: “Jiang Ningran, I’m telling you, I am not her.”

Jiang Ningran laughed maniacally: “You’re not her?” She was almost completely insane. “Su Wanxing, even you don’t dare to admit that that b1tch is you, do you?”

“Why did you drug my coffee?” Su Wanxing was so angry that she reached out and pushed Jiang Ningran, who fell to the floor.

Even in this state, Jiang Ningran was confident: “You agreed to get coffee with me, doesn’t that mean you agreed to have s3x with me? I had just temporarily marked you. If you didn’t want to, why did you even come with me?”

Su Wanxing’s voice was hoarse from screaming: “Because you said you’d give me my notes! Because you said we’d go to the coffee shop to talk things over!! Because! Because I wanted to tell you I don’t like you and that I wanted you to forget about that!”

“Su Wanxing!” Jiang Ningran’s eyes widened when she heard the words “I don’t like you.”

She pleaded: “Su Wanxing, you do like me, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have pleaded with me the first time, would you? You only go into heat when you’re around me, right?”

Listening to Jiang Ningran’s words, Shi Ning thought of a question. She looked at Su Wanxing, who was so angry she couldn’t speak, and asked her: “Su Wanxing, do you remember the pattern of your heat cycles?”

Su Wanxing shook her head: “My… my cycle is very unstable. Sometimes it’s thirty days, and sometimes it’s twenty-something. It’s not a fixed time.”

Shi Ning: “Do you always carry a suppressor with you?”

Su Wanxing said with certainty: “Of course. It’s something I’ve carried with me ever since I came of age. It’s something every Omega carries to protect themselves from an emergency. So, of course, I had it with me, Sister Shi. I even have more at home.”

Seeing this, Shi Ning smiled, the light in her eyes as cold as snow on a high mountain.

“Then that’s very strange. When you went camping with Jiang Ningran and were in the tent, where was your suppressor?”

Hearing Shi Ning’s question, Jiang Ningran looked up at Shi Ning, her eyes fierce, filled with a hatred that was as if it had been poisoned.

Shi Ning didn’t care at all.

As for her, some people liked her, and some hated her.

When she used to handle commercial lawsuits, some people called her a watchdog for the rich, only caring about money. When she handled legal aid cases, some people cursed her, saying she disregarded the truth, protected criminals, and only wanted to win.

So, she had seen this kind of look many times.

Shi Ning asked Su Wanxing: “Do you remember preparing a suppressor before you went camping with her?”

Su Wanxing nodded. “I did. And I even ordered more online that day because I didn’t have enough.”

She showed Shi Ning the purchase history on her phone.

“I definitely had it with me.”

Shi Ning turned to look at Jiang Ningran: “Then that’s very strange. Why would you have a suppressor with you, and yet when you were with Jiang Ningran that day, that kind of situation happened?”

Jiang Ningran said coldly: “I don’t know what you’re talking about, Shi Ning. Even if what you said is true, I couldn’t have predicted Su Wanxing’s heat cycle. She can’t even remember when her own heat cycle is, so how would I know?”

Bingo.

Shi Ning snapped her fingers.

“Jiang Ningran, I didn’t say what happened, so why did you confess everything yourself? And, Jiang Ningran, how could you not remember? Didn’t you say you’ve always been by her side and that you love her the most? I thought that remembering her monthly abnormal times wouldn’t be a difficult thing for you.”

Jiang Ningran was a little ashamed and irritated that her secret had been exposed. She did have a small notebook that recorded everything about Su Wanxing. Her height each year, her weight, her pheromone scent, her hair fragrance, and her unstable heat cycles.

Shi Ning knew about this because, as a transmigrator, she had a bird’s-eye view and a comprehensive understanding of the situation.

The information Jiang Ningran knew was only what she had witnessed or heard in her previous life.

As for Su Wanxing, it was even worse. The information she got was all vague, like she only had the outline of a book.

Therefore, Shi Ning, the real transmigrator who had hidden her identity and was seen as a native by Jiang Ningran and Su Wanxing, was actually the one who knew the most.

Because of this, she could see through everything. Jiang Ningran must have calculated and tampered with Su Wanxing’s first unexpected heat.

This entire situation was already under Shi Ning’s control.
