Everything was finally crystal clear.
At the International Alliance.
The exceedingly sharp and beautiful Lizard Beastman folded his arms, staring at the web updates on the hover-screen.
The surrounding officers were all in a heated discussion about everything related to "Bai Su."
"Oh my god! That poor little female!"
"How could she be bullied so badly in Snow Country!"
"That’s just how cyberbullying is these days. People believe any rumor they hear. That poor female. The truth is finally out."
"She helped rescue over a hundred females! That kind of military merit would earn a first-class honor in our department, right, Boss?"
Someone nudged the expressionless Wen Lan.
His lizard tail, which usually hung languidly to the side, resembled a Bone Whip forged from rare Cold Silver Metal. Flexible mortise joints connected each vertebra, making it exceptionally nimble.
Countless people had died under this Bone Whip, and it had since acquired a murderous aura. He usually kept it coiled up, wrapped around his waistband like a decorative belt.
Wen Lan snorted, his whip lashing out and striking the ground with a powerful impact. "Got a lot of free time? Looking for some extra drills?"
Terrified, the crowd shrank back, unsure what had set the boss off this time.
The whip striking the ground was a prelude to his rage, a sign that he was in a very bad mood.
The team members exchanged glances and quickly scattered like startled birds.
Wen Lan stared at the hover-screen, at the image of Bai Su being worshiped like a goddess, and the disgust and hostility in his eyes grew heavier.
’So what if she’s innocent?’
’So what if she isn’t?’
’The damage has already been done. Even if she’s a victim, that doesn’t stop me from hating her to the bone.’
’The fact that she dares to search for her child so openly already means we are irreconcilable enemies.’
’There’s no way I’m sending the child back.’
’If she pushes me too far, I’ll just kill her without anyone ever knowing.’

Bai Su’s online reputation reversed at lightning speed, and her account gained nearly ten million followers as a result.
Besides people from the Snow Country Federation, there were also plenty of international onlookers enjoying the drama.
Upon learning that such a beautiful little Rabbit Beastman had been misunderstood and cyberbullied by the people of Snow Country, international netizens couldn’t sit still. They felt a wave of sympathy, followed her account, and rallied to her defense.
Bai Xue’s death became an internet joke. Netizens would perform a "three-lash salute" whenever her name was mentioned—a digital desecration of her memory.
When Bai Junlan saw the news online at home, she knew it was all over.
She stared blankly at the Female Protection Institution president’s brooch on her desk, her mind buzzing.
’It’s not just the Bai family that’s finished,’ she thought. ’The Female Protection Institution will become a joke, too.’
The Federation’s verdict was delivered swiftly.
Rachel was found guilty of harming the interests of females and colluding with the Medical Alliance. She was sentenced to death by firing squad, to be carried out in three days.
All members of the Bai family were arrested and imprisoned to face interrogation by both Snow Country and the International Federation, to ensure no collaborators with the Medical Alliance slipped through the cracks.
Because Bai Junlan had backed the wrong side in this incident, the Female Protection Institution was suspected of agitating females’ emotions and maliciously inciting cyberbullying. The institution’s operations were suspended, with its potential dissolution still under discussion.
The Bai family had completely fallen. Even the noble families who had once sought to curry favor with them, relying on the Bai family’s bloodline to extend their own lineages, rushed to draw a line. They stopped just short of kicking the Bai family while they were down to prove how distinct their own positions were.
But they had no time for that now, as there were more important matters to attend to. Lu Tingyan and Yelias stood around Bai Xiao Zhu, their expressions grave.
Beside them, Bai Su excitedly grabbed his hand. "You mean a little female who looks a lot like me is the one who shot you down from the helicopter? Could it be..."
’Could it be her fourth child?’
’Bai Xiao Zhu said she was a Lop-eared Rabbit, and about the same age as them.’
’But... in the original owner’s memory, the fourth, abused child was a little female lizard.’
’And in the original novel’s plot, only Bai Xiao Zhu ended up at the Medical Alliance.’
’If that’s the case, who is this mysterious little female?’
Bai Xiao Zhu shook his head. "I don’t think it was my sister..."
Bai Xiaolang also chimed in to comfort her, "Mom, don’t worry. Our sister is a little lizard."
Hearing this, Bai Su quickly calmed down.
’It’s true,’ she thought. ’The fourth child in my memories is a little lizard.’
’A fierce little lizard, at that—the only child who dared to fight back against the original owner.’
Bai Xiao Zhu thought for a moment, then said, "I heard them call her ’Boss.’ If, like you said, she came in a scarlet helicopter, then she might be the Medical Alliance’s second-in-command, Miss Leia."
"Leia?" Lu Tingyan and Yelias frowned in unison.
’The world’s most wanted female assassin, the one person no one ever wants to meet?’
’And she’s just a half-grown child?’
