The Big-Shot is Pampered after She Becomes the Villainness

68 The Culprit

“That’s right, Dad. Sister must be the most upset.” Shi He walked over and hugged Shi Man’s shoulder, speaking up for her with heartache.

“Found it!” Shi Yu had been working with the technical team at the law firm for almost the entire afternoon to break through the dark web. He had finally found the real address where the post was posted.

“Where is it?” Shi Ke’s face was dark as he asked in a cold tone.

“It’s…” Shi Yu looked at the location displayed on the computer screen. After confirming it repeatedly, he said in shock, “It’s at our house!”

“Unfilial daughter! How dare you say that it’s not you!” When Shi Zhong heard the result, his hope was completely extinguished. He pointed at Shi Man and cursed.

Shen Xian hurriedly walked over to protect her daughter and said pitifully, “Does it have to be my baby who did it in our family?! Why don’t you believe Manman?! If you can’t stand my baby, I’ll just take my daughter and run away from home!”

“Honey, do you have to protect her?!” Shi Zhong sat back on the sofa helplessly and sighed. He glared at Shi Man and made his final judgment. “Go back to your room and reflect on yourself! Don’t go to school for the next few days!”

“Dad! Wait!”

Shi Yu frowned and interrupted his father. It was rare for him to be so unstable, but this matter concerned his sister, so he could not help but be angry.

After getting his subordinates to confirm the address, he turned the screen to everyone and said, “Although the location is at our house, it wasn’t sent using Manman’s phone. I’ll try to connect to the mobile end of the registered account now. I’ll be able to find the culprit soon.”

Shi Yu stared at the screen solemnly. After entering a string of codes, he finally clicked on the enter key. Suddenly, the ear-piercing ringtone of a phone rang in the Shi family’s villa.

“Let me see who harmed my sister!” Shi Mu followed the ringtone and found Shi Jing, who was hiding at the corner of the stairs. He dragged her downstairs and threw her on the carpet in the living room. He said angrily, “So it’s you!”

“How could this be?!” Shi Jing threw away her phone anxiously as if she had thrown a hot potato. She covered her head and cried in disbelief. “Why did my handphone ring? I don’t know what the dark web is!”

Shi Jing crawled to Shi Zhong’s legs on her knees and grabbed his pants pitifully. “Uncle, it really wasn’t me. How could I have harmed Manman? I went to Cassel Academy to protect her. Someone must have framed me and wanted to sow discord between us!”

Shen Xian had already started to detest Shi Jing the last time. Seeing that she was desperately grabbing her husband’s pants and refusing to let go, she immediately pushed her away angrily and said, “How dare you quibble! Other than you, who else has tried to harm Manman time and time again!”

“I really didn’t!” Shi Jing cried pitifully. If someone didn’t know the truth, they might really believe her.

However, no one knew Shi Jing’s true colors better than Shi Mu. He thought that she would be quieter after that incident, but he did not expect her to become worse.

He really did not dare to imagine that if his sister was really harmed by her post, he would probably go crazy now!

“Nonsense!” He rushed forward angrily and grabbed Shi Jing’s collar. He said fiercely, “Do you dare to say that you didn’t do it? Then explain to everyone why you only scored zero in this exam!”

Shi Zhong’s originally shaken heart completely sank when he heard this. He looked at Shi Jing coldly and said word by word, “You scored zero? Why?”

“Uncle, I… I just wanted your approval so badly that I couldn’t think straight. I… cheated in the exam, but I promise that I will work hard next time. This will never happen again!” Shi Jing broke free from Shi Mu’s restraint and rushed forward to hug Shi Zhong’s arm.

“Shameless!” Shi He knew what his mother hated the most. He stepped forward and forcefully pushed Shi Jing’s hand away, forcing her into a corner.

Shi Ke had been watching this farce coldly. Now that he saw that his father was willing to trust Shi Man, he slowly explained his guess. “You’ve been in our family for so long, and rich people like us have never lacked food, clothing, and schooling. Although you’re only a distant relative, Dad and Mom still treat you well like you are their own niece. But now, you say that you want our approval. Let me ask you, what kind of approval do you need from us?”

This question struck Shi Jing’s heart. What she wanted was far more than being a distant relative of the Shi family. What she wanted was to be the true eldest daughter of the Shi family!

When she was young, she often heard from her family that the richest man in the Shi family lived in G City. The most powerful man in the entire family was Shi Zhong, and he had four handsome sons but only one daughter.

At that time, Shi Jing often fantasized about how good it would be if she was their only daughter. However, all of this belonged to Shi Man. How could she be willing?!
