Zhang Lifang was so frightened that her whole body was shivering uncontrollably, yet she clutched her phone tightly, refusing to let Lin Xueyi see, her plump face so red it seemed about to drip blood.

Yang Fei and Lin Xueyi looked at each other, puzzled.

Both of them didn't understand what was wrong with this woman who looked as bright and tantalizing as a cherry.

"Sister, what's wrong? Tell us, so we can discuss a solution together."

Lin Xueyi walked over to Zhang Lifang's side, supporting her trembling body, and gently comforted her.

Zhang Lifang's body went limp, leaning on Lin Xueyi, and after hesitating for a moment, she finally handed her phone to Lin Xueyi.

Yang Fei was also very curious.

However, just as he leaned in, Zhang Lifang let out a terrified scream, covering the phone screen with her hand: "Brother Fei, you must not look."

Yang Fei shook his head and had to walk away, his eyes darting around, observing Lin Xueyi's expression.

Lin Xueyi only glanced at the phone screen and was startled too, her cheeks immediately feeling searingly hot.

On the phone screen, there was a nude photo of a woman, with a bathroom as the background.

The woman in the photo was wearing nothing, her figure so incredibly stunning that even Lin Xueyi felt inferior.

The photo was so explicit that even Lin Xueyi felt an urge to throw away the phone and cover her face and run away.

It was too embarrassing.

The woman in the photo was unmistakably Zhang Lifang!

Lin Xueyi's heart pounded wildly, and Zhang Lifang had already covered her face, crouching on the ground.

She started to sob, her shoulders heaving, appearing extremely pitiful.

The photo had been sent via a stranger's WeChat, and besides that one, there were five or six others of the same kind.

The backgrounds of these photos were either the bedroom bed or the bathroom, and all were very explicit.

And the woman in these nude photos was all Zhang Lifang.

Lin Xueyi flipped through them casually, suppressing her panic, and couldn't help but glance at Yang Fei.

He was standing in the distance, smoking, but his eyes were wandering restlessly, looking in their direction.

Clearly, he was just as confused about this sudden incident.

Lin Xueyi helped Zhang Lifang to stand and said, "Who is the other party, and what do they want?"

Zhang Lifang sobbed, saying, "This morning, I got a stranger's phone call, telling me to transfer twenty million to him, or he would make me regret it."

"Sob sob, I didn't take it seriously, but now…"

Lin Xueyi glanced at Yang Fei and then at Li Hong and Axiang, who were also clueless.

She supported Zhang Lifang: "Let's talk about this in a room."

Zhang Lifang nodded her head, and Lin Xueyi, supporting her, headed towards the hotel rooms, turning back to call out: "Yang Fei, come up too."

Yang Fei didn't know what had happened and was itching with curiosity.

When he heard Lin Xueyi's call, he responded and followed behind the two women, rushing upstairs.

After such an incident, Zhang Lifang dared not return to her own room.

Thus, Lin Xueyi, with the support of Zhang Lifang and accompanied by Yang Fei, went to her own room.

She brewed a cup of tea for Zhang Lifang and said, "It's okay, since the other side has sent these photos, there must be more to come."

Zhang Lifang nodded her head, and Lin Xueyi turned back to briefly tell Yang Fei about the situation.

The boy immediately started to exclaim exaggeratedly: "Broad daylight, clear skies, and such things happen? Where are those photos?"

Zhang Lifang's body trembled, clutching her phone tightly.

Her delicate cheeks flushed a deep red as she looked at Lin Xueyi with pleading eyes.

Lin Xueyi glared at Yang Fei, "What are you looking at other girls' photos for? Speak up, how are we going to deal with this?"

Yang Fei spread his hands, saying earnestly, "Sister Xueyi, are you misunderstanding me again?"

"If I don't look at the photos, how would I know under what circumstances they were taken or how they were leaked?"

"This is a pure case study process, I don't have any other intentions."

"I'm not trying to scare you, but if we don't get this cleared up, even your room and Su Yinxue's room might not be safe to stay in," he cautioned.

Upon hearing about her own room, Lin Xueyi also got a shock.

She looked around suspiciously at the walls, "Are you saying that someone has installed cameras in our rooms?"

Yang Fei shook his head, "Not necessarily, it depends on the individual's living habits..."

"For example, whether you close the curtains when you sleep or if you shut the doors and windows when you take a shower, and so on."

He walked outside the window to observe the surrounding buildings and said seriously, "All of this depends on the angle of the photos taken. We can't rule out the possibility of being photographed from afar with high-powered cameras."

Lin Xueyi, finding Yang Fei's explanation logical, glanced again at Zhang Lifang, "Girl, how about letting this bastard take a look, if you trust him that is..."

Zhang Lifang's face was round and lustrous, flushed as if bleeding, and she shrank like an ostrich into a corner of the sofa, remaining silent.

Lin Xueyi quite understood Zhang Lifang's feelings.

A woman, especially when it came to such private imagery, how could she be willing to let another man see?

Truth be told, even Lin Xueyi felt tense and her cheeks burned.

She cursed under her breath, "This woman is really..."

Yang Fei sighed helplessly, "You women really are troublesome."

"If it really won't work, edit the photos and pixelate the key parts; I promise I won't think anything untoward."

Lin Xueyi's eyes lit up, she nudged Zhang Lifang, saying, "This should be okay, right?"

Zhang Lifang hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded her head.

Just then, her phone suddenly rang. The abrupt ringtone was especially jarring in the quiet room.

Zhang Lifang took one look at the phone, and her flushed face instantly turned pale, saying, "It was this phone number that called this morning, what now?"

Yang Fei made a silencing gesture, signaling Zhang Lifang to turn on the speaker and then he answered the phone.

"Heh heh, Miss Zhang, I presume you must have received those photos. My photography skills are top-notch. How do you like them?"

From the speaker of the phone, a sinister voice oozed with lewdness, and the cold laughter felt deeply uncomfortable.

Zhang Lifang managed to contain her panic and said, "What exactly do you want?"

"I want twenty million. Transfer the money to my account, and I'll delete the photos," the voice demanded.

"Otherwise, heh heh, a wealthy person like Miss Zhang wouldn't want to be all over the headlines and various portal websites, right?"

"Nowadays, these photos can easily catch fire, heh heh..."

His voice was full of lewd insinuations, "To tell the truth, Miss Zhang, you are the most flavorful woman I've ever seen."

"Such a beauty as yourself, why bother? Whatever you need, just one call, and I can satisfy you completely, hahaha..."

"You're despicable!"

Zhang Lifang was a mix of shame and indignation, her eyes avoiding Yang Fei and Lin Xueyi as she decisively said, "Send me your account details, and I'll transfer the money."

"I hope you'll keep your word and delete those photos. Twenty million is my limit, and don't come harassing me ever again."
