We continued moving.
The earlier noise had completely disappeared, and the only sound that remained was the steady rhythm of footsteps as everyone followed in silence.
I walked at the front without slowing down, my eyes fixed ahead while my mind remained calm.
Behind me, the group stayed in order.
No one dared to cause trouble now.. everywhere was quiet.
The kind of quiet that came after people finally understood their place.
Yan Mo walked somewhere in the middle.
His gaze rested on my back for a moment, his brows slightly drawn together as if he was trying to understand something.
He had expected something else.
Everyone had.
They all knew my temper.
They knew how I used to deal with people.
He thought I would have dragged those girls out and taught them a lesson on the spot.
But I did not.
I only warned them.
And somehow—
That warning was enough.
His eyes shifted slightly.
"…She's so weird now," he muttered under his breath.
