Chapter Eight.

My heart sank suddenly. I immediately went to check the poster, who was a person with the ID "Tangxin". I didn't know her, but her account level was high, not like a fake account, but more like an old user of the forum. When I clicked on the post, the first line was a striking red text.

Will he be very disappointed in me?

This post is extremely popular, with a large number of commenters, and at least six or seven out of ten people are accusing "Junzi Studio" of wrongdoing.

The gang: Rabbit Sauce: If you still have any dignity, then leave on your own, don't wait for the leader to come back and issue a wanted order to hunt you down to death.

... ... However, fortunately, I am strong enough.

Well, you make a lot of sense. Ling Hanfeng nodded in agreement, looking very convinced. "I certainly won't easily help such an annoying guy. Moreover, that person is also cunning and treacherous, repaying kindness with enmity, constantly exploiting my value for her own profit. She's extremely wicked and insane, really too hateful."

It's like being doused with a bucket of cold water over my head, I'm chilled from head to toeーーwho on earth? How could someone come to slander and attack me like this?

I instinctively tightened the blanket on my body and remained silent with lowered eyes.

Like a bolt from the blue, I was stunned on the spot. Zhou Xiang's voice was like thunder, constantly booming in my ears.

I continue to browse, the whole article is about a player named "Tang Xin" accusing "Gentleman Studio" of rudely shirking responsibility when pursuing losses. After the exposure, the other party suddenly changed the subject, saying, "I am very angry. I only found out when complaining to friends that this studio has also harmed many innocent players. In order to prevent more victims, I decided to post here to warn all players! Also, welcome those who have been deceived by this studio to leave a message here and expose them together! Let everyone see what kind of people they are!"

Director Yan nodded and turned to look at Lu Yuxiang.

Tears welled up in the corners of the eyes and streamed down.

Well.

ーー[Industry Cancer! Digging into the "Gentleman Studio" Matters].

Luyuxiang's face became even paler. He lowered his head, clenched his fist by his side, then released it, repeating this action several times, as if he was struggling and conflicted. After a long while, he finally spoke.

The world is spinning.

Hushed whispers filled the air.

[Gang] Zi Buyu: Withdraw! Withdraw!

Chi Junjun, you don't need to speak for me. Liu Yuxiang immediately interrupted me and said, "Director, everyone should take responsibility for their own actions. Whether it's a demerit or expulsion, I am willing to accept the punishment willingly. But please do not misunderstand Chi Junjun, she is truly innocent!"

Does Linghan Feng know?

At that moment, compared to the guilty, panicked, and embarrassed feeling of being caught in the act, what first seized my mind and occupied my entire thoughts was...

But if I don't forgive her, no one else will be able to forgive her. From the moment she ran away, I understood - she couldn't forgive herself either. She's actually not as bad as she imagines herself to be - she feels guilty, ashamed, and knows she did something wrong, so she can't face it. What's more important is that she's not as strong as she imagines herself to be. She's avoiding, retreating, deceiving herself, but... .. . What's more important is that she's not as strong as she imagines herself to be. She's avoiding, retreating, deceiving herself, but... .. .

I quickly turned on my computer and rushed into the forum of the game "Flying Immortal in the Proud World". At a glance, I saw the prominent post that was pinned at the top.

However, because of my association with you, you have become the target of everyone's attack...

[Gang] Zui Meng Chi: Yes, I am from the studio.

A stone causes a thousand waves, shocking, angry, scolding, all kinds of comments have emerged. And finally, the direction of the topic directly led to -.

[Gang] Han Qing Mo Mo: Hmph, you came at the right time. Zui Meng Chi, now it's your turn to explain your identity problem.

This headmaster's surname is Yan. He has a serious and rigid personality, and he is extremely strict and demanding towards students. Privately, everyone calls him the "Yan Demon King". He looked at me deeply, expressionless, exuding an aura of authority without anger.

I didn't expect to see Lu Yuxiang in the director's office.

There are chasing footsteps behind me, I didn't turn back to look, but I could hear that more and more people were joining this "chasing game" - when the wall falls, everyone pushes; when the drum breaks, everyone hits. Among the voices shouting "catch her, don't let her run away", how many of them really know me and understand me, instead of just following the crowd and taking advantage of the situation?

When Lu Yuxiang and I left the director's office, it was already class time. The vast campus was empty, and there was not a single figure in sight, only the sound of clear reading coming from the direction of the teaching building.

But I cannot deceive myself. Compared to the troubles of being surrounded by rumors, there is one thing that hangs over my chest like a timed bomb, making me restless and unable to sleep or eat. And three days later, this emotion climbed to its peak.

Stop!

I looked puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"

While I was browsing through the comments, suddenly there was a prompt saying that the main post had been edited and modified. After refreshing, the content that appeared made me feel a sudden darkness - it turned out to be a list of IDs for the "Gentleman Studio" gaming account!

I... I really didn't expect her to do such a thing." Lu Yuxiang covered his face with his hands, his voice trembling and even incoherent. "Yesterday at lunch, she said her phone was dead and asked to use mine to make a call outside... to *Tu* Bookstore... Now thinking back, she was probably checking the records... If she really hated what I did to Ling Hanfeng, she could have come at me, scolded me, hit me, anything. But why? With *Tu* Bookstore... Now thinking back, she was probably checking the records... How could she do it this way... How could she be the kind of person who does such things?"

I have taken leave.

I refuse to accept it!

The doctor said you hit your head and have a mild concussion. Although it's not serious, you still need to rest for a few days and observe the situation.

It's not because I was surprised by this news, but because I deeply understand that for Lu Yuxiang, who has always been deeply infatuated with the goddess in his heart, this is definitely a fatal blow. It's like the most beautiful dream being cruelly torn apart, the huge sense of falling and the feeling of destruction can make a person collapse.

What's even more unscientific is that I actually ran away... ran away... ran... away...

A sleepless night.

Don't worry, I'm not so easily defeated. If you don't even have this level of determination, what kind of gold-digging lady are you?

I suddenly stopped in my tracks.

Lu Yuxiang finally lifted his head, his eyes slightly reddened: "So what are you going to do next? If Mo Qianjing intends to trouble you, your future days will definitely be difficult."

The other party turned a deaf ear and instead made eye contact with the surrounding companions, intending to push me into the corner.

Once exposed, what's the point of hiding and dodging? It's better to be bold and face reality.

The angry curses quickly turned into physical conflicts. By the time I realized something was wrong, I was already trapped in the crowd. Countless people pushed and shoved me, forcing me into a corner by the propaganda board. I had to protect my head to avoid further harm.

Ling Hanfeng is waiting at the door of our classroom.

ーーThe mission has been successfully completed! The speech manuscript has been sent to your email, please check.

Is it the one you sent to my clinic?

It was me who took the initiative to find the director. Lu Yuxiang's brows were always furrowed in pain, "At that time, the bulletin board was too chaotic, I couldn't squeeze in at all, so I had to go find the teacher immediately..."

Then came the excruciating pain from my ankle and knee. I fell heavily to the ground, surrounded by mocking and jeering voices.

Rest assured, I will find a way to handle it.

[Gang] Zibuyu: It is already very obvious that Zuimengchi is from the studio. He must have a conspiracy to join our gang! I agree with Sister Momo's suggestion to put him on the blacklist!

Since I don't know her, I'll just treat her like a stranger—glance at her expressionlessly and walk away.

However, I still underestimated my "influence" in the college. I thought I was being low-key enough, just as I walked out of the classroom with my backpack, I heard a sharp outcry.

The answer I got was a soft sigh.

I deeply remember this moment, even if it is a long time later, even if we have become strangers and gone our separate ways, I will always remember the name of a person who became so different from this moment on.

I and Lu Yuxiang both fell silent at the same time.

Hello, I'm talking to you. Why the long face? You're really disappointing, you don't even understand basic manners!

The pure are self-sufficiently pure. I comfort myself in this way.

It is obvious that this is a well-organized and premeditated smear campaign. The other party has actually hired so many internet water army, and the momentum is fierce! At the beginning, some people questioned the authenticity of "Tang Xin's" words, and even spoke a few good words for "Junzi Studio", but immediately they would be criticized by the "water army" and bitten back, saying that the other party is a "Junzi Studio" water army. As a result, many people dare not speak up. Comments from onlookers such as "I have been to his house, it feels okay, not as bad as the original poster said" gradually turned into "I didn't expect his house to be like this, it's really eye-opening, I will never go to his house again".

With a sweep of my gaze, I found myself surrounded by these few people. It was during lunch break, and there were many people coming and going around me. There were even many who stopped to watch, and without exception, they all had a look of schadenfreude on their faces.

Hello, since you're awake, please stop pretending to sleep.

I bit my lip and stared at her coldly.

From the perspective of public opinion on the forum, it is evident that the other party has made sufficient preparations. Their daring exposure of Zui Mengchi's identity must have grasped ample leverage. My denial and concealment are both meaningless.

As the crowd gathered, the pushing of my hand gradually escalated into uncontrollable anger. Just then, a stern voice suddenly approached from a distance.

Director Yan "slapped" the printed paper that was just torn off from the bulletin board onto the table. With a stern gaze, he looked back and forth between me and Lu Yuxiang, and said coldly, "Explain."

Who on earth could this person be?

【Faction】Fairy Sister: Ah! Zui Meng Chi is online!

【Faction】Patting softly: But the leader has already appointed Zui Mengchi as the deputy leader, and we don't have the authority to kick him out...

I am strong enough to no longer get angry easily because of her behavior; I am strong enough to handle whatever she does with composure; I am strong enough to have enough generosity and tolerance to forgive her mistakes. This is not sympathy or pity, but a beginning - who can claim to be perfect? Since she has realized her mistake, everything can start anew. What do you think?

If it was just Tang Xin's slander, I could still confront him directly. But now, he has created a "public outrage" momentum, and I am unable to defend myself. Even if I were to jump into the Yellow River, I wouldn't be able to wash away the accusations. Under the name of "Gentleman Studio," I have been taking on various mercenary tasks and painstakingly built up a good reputation, which has now been destroyed in a matter of hours.

How much does she really hate me, to come after me again and again?

Don't think that I'm easy to fool. The truth of the matter is clear to anyone with discernment," Director Yan's gaze fell on me, his brow furrowed. "Chen Junjun, we teachers are aware of your family situation, and we've always turned a blind eye to your behavior. But what about you? From the beginning, it was just some small gains, but now you're using despicable means to harm the interests of your classmates! School is not just a place to teach knowledge, but also a place to teach you how to be a decent human being! I declare that from today on, if you are found to be profiting in any way within the college, you will be expelled immediately, without any leniency!"

When I woke up and washed up the next day, I was still pondering this issue. Perhaps it was because I was too indulged in my own world that I didn't even notice the strange gazes from all directions when I went out to school. As I was about to reach the teaching building, an angry roar snapped me out of my thoughts.

"No, Director Yan!" Although I am touched, I do not intend to let others take the blame for me, "In fact, this matter..."

If you withdraw, it will instead make you appear guilty. Once this matter is manipulated by malicious individuals, it may become another "black history" and serve as evidence for the "Junzi Studio". Such strong statements naturally invite even more furious criticism from the public, but I have gradually learned to face it calmly.

How can this be blamed on you? Moreover, you could have easily walked away from it--your name is not on that screenshot. If you don't admit it, no one will know that you were the one who traded with me.

[Gang] Zui Meng Chi: I am still the deputy gang leader, and there is no shortage of things to do. Is there anyone who needs help with tasks or needs assistance in running dungeons today?

How should we say it?

At this moment, in the medical room at dusk, as the sunlight faded and we could no longer see each other's expressions clearly, I deeply remembered his smiling face. It was confident, encouraging, fearless, and just by being quietly observed, one could feel redeemed and warm. This feeling was so wonderful that I couldn't help but lift the corners of my mouth, slowly, gently, and also smile.

However, there was still something unexpected for me - when I went to look for her, we only met briefly and she actually ran away. In a panic, she fled without looking back, in such a sorry state. He suddenly looked at me, his gaze sharp as if he could instantly see through my most secret thoughts. "Do you know how surprised I was at that time? She is a person who prioritizes interests, but she is definitely not a cowardly and timid person. I thought that after we met, we would be at odds with each other, arguing back and forth, but she fled in disarray. Tell me, why is that?" She is a person who prioritizes interests, but she is definitely not a cowardly and timid person. I thought that after we met, we would be at odds with each other, arguing back and forth, but she fled in disarray. Tell me, why is that?

Because only the gang leader has the authority to expel the deputy gang leader, everyone can only express their anger and make me automatically leave the gang. To be honest, after my undercover identity was exposed, my mission has failed. It is meaningless to stay any longer. It is wise to leave now, hide offline, and come out after the wind has passed.

This is unscientific!

I faintly realized that perhaps something is really wrong somewhere, but I simply don't have the time or mood to explore the hidden changes in my heart. I just instinctively ran out of the teaching building and hid in the green belt until it was time for class before returning.

At this point, are you still pretending to be ignorant? Zhou Xiang was furious, "I thought you would have some remorse after joining the student council, but I didn't expect you to be such a despicable woman! Even if Ling Hanfeng had treated you badly before, you shouldn't have resorted to stealing his speech as a way of revenge! Do you still have a conscience?"

"I understand," I said.

Because, I am such a person. I said word by word, "Calculating every ounce, valuing money like life, not liked wherever I go. If it weren't for having ulterior motives, who would help such an annoying person?"

That kind of sincere and genuine smile from the bottom of his heart, he has hardly shown it to me. After all, from a standpoint, we can be considered as adversaries, even though we later had an employer-employee relationship, there was still an undercurrent of resentment in our hearts.

Make way.

I am not someone who likes to cause trouble. I couldn't bear it any longer, so I came here to post. I am just a student, and it's not easy for me to save up some pocket money. A few days ago, in order to level up, I found "Gentleman Studio" to help me with power leveling. The service attitude of the other party was extremely bad... Moreover, my precious equipment was accidentally destroyed during the power leveling, and they refused to compensate...

Hello! I'm not being unreasonable!I immediately protest, "It's clearly you who's holding onto my handle and constantly squeezing my value!"

As a well-known high-level player, the announcement of this ID immediately triggered a frenzy of comments. I had no intention of reading people's comments, so I quickly logged into the game with the ID "醉梦迟". Sure enough, the faction channel of "寒烟阁" is now in chaos.

For the entire morning, my mind was in a state of confusion, and I had no intention of listening to the class. At noon, I simply asked for leave from the teacher and planned to return to the dormitory in the afternoon to rest properly.

[Gang] Zui Meng Chi: I admit that I am a member of the studio, but I have not infringed on the interests of any of you. I have a clear conscience and will not actively withdraw from the gang.

Is it okay not to go back to class? Don't you high school seniors still have to attend evening self-study?

All along, the relationship between Lu Yuxiang and me has been somewhat delicate. After all, there is a layer of "merchant and customer" relationship between us. Even though we later became good friends, I am not sure how much "friendship" is worth in it. I never expected that this guy who usually jokes around and is not serious, and whom I teased as a "silly person", would stand up so "loyally" at this moment.

How is it him ?

He lowered his head and stood in front of the desk with a disappointed look on his face. When he heard the sound of the door opening, he immediately looked over in this direction. Especially when he saw me, the nervous and guilty expression on his face became even more apparent. His lips trembled slightly, as if he was in great pain.

However, an even greater disaster was yet to come.

I frowned and looked over. The speaker was a girl with a ponytail, looking arrogant and domineering, followed by several followers. Although she seemed important, she was just a stranger in my eyes. There have been so many people looking for trouble with me these days that I don't have time to remember each and every one of their faces!

It was probably heard about the situation here, and the head teacher with several teachers rushed over. The appearance of the teachers immediately reduced the chaos on the scene, and the crowd gradually calmed down. With a lingering fear, I breathed a sigh of relief, put down my hands covering my face, and saw the head teacher had separated the crowd and walked towards me.

He suddenly lowered his voice, his magnetic voice sounding like the rich and mellow tones of a cello, steady and composed.

Slip away quickly, catch her! I heard the leader of the girls angrily shout, "Momo said this time we must teach her a harsh lesson!"

Chi Junjun, how dare you show your face here!

Get out of the college! "Miss Gold Rush" is nothing but a selfish person who only cares about profit. You are simply a disgrace to the college!

There was never any good reputation to begin with. Under the circumstance of "conclusive evidence", my conduct was directly labeled as "vile and corrupt". Everywhere I went, there were disdainful looks, unreserved discussions, and groundless slanders. The initial "truth" was like bacteria in a petri dish, expanding and spreading at an unimaginable speed through rumors and gossip. I had no way to explain, nor could I explain--even a little explanation or argument would escalate the situation to the point of another outbreak.

[Gang]: Cute Little Package: But he is the person brought in by the boss, right...?... If the boss hasn't spoken, isn't it too arbitrary for us to draw such a conclusion?

But as a party involved, how could I not see that those chat records were clearly fabricated!

池珺珺 !

I: " ... ... ".

I patiently inquired several times, but received no requests for help from anyone. So I went to the leveling area alone to farm gold and equipment. Regardless of their clamor, even when they angrily posted "I'll cut you every time I see you" in the world channel, I just focused on doing my own thing. When it was time to sleep, as usual, I said goodbye in the guild channel and logged off openly.

I blinked my eyes and gave him a gentle smile.

I quickly closed my eyes, but the other party chuckled lightly.

If you don't want others to know, don't do it. It's posted in black and white on the bulletin board. Let's see how you can argue your way out of it this time!

ーー醉梦迟 !

And I don't want to hide it either.

I have never seen Lu Yuxiang look so painful and fragile before. I couldn't help but reach out and gently rub his hair, as if comforting a depressed little rabbit.

I have always thought that she is such a despicable person, and her actions have always shown that she is indeed such a despicable person. Not long ago, she did another very bad thing. As the person involved, I thought I would be very angry, but in fact, I was not as angry as I imagined, even with the feeling of "Ah, it is indeed something she would do" as expected.

However, it is still hard to bear in mind.

Although I said those confident words, the situation I am facing is much more severe than I imagined.

Although I know I will have to face it sooner or later, but until now I still don't know how to face him. Should I write a letter to explain, or apologize over the phone, or just ignore and avoid any contact from now on?

I'm not actually afraid of others' sarcasm, malicious slander, or the indifference of some people. I can endure even the most intense storms and pain with gritted teeth.

Ling Hanfeng pushed his glasses and looked innocent, saying, "Oh? Did I say that shameless and despicable scoundrel was you?"

[Faction] Han Qing Mo Mo: Han Tian didn't know his background when he let him in. He has been unable to go online these days, so I will be in charge of everything.

Hello, Mr. Chi. The class hasn't finished yet. Where are you going?

Because he went to another city to take the early admission exam for key universities, Ling Hanfeng has not been attending school these days. The original copy of the speech was stored in a USB drive by Lu Yuxiang on the second day of the incident and sent to the Student Union office through someone else. Since then, I have never been to the Student Union again.

He is the person I have been waiting for and looking forward to all along.

Teacher, it's my fault. His voice trembled slightly, but his tone was unusually firm. "I've always disliked Ling Hanfeng and wanted to embarrass him, so I planned to steal his report to undermine him. Coincidentally, Chi Junjun was helping in the student union, so I asked her to help me steal it. Chi Junjun has always been unwilling, but I kept pestering and forcing her to help me, so she had no choice but to do it. This has nothing to do with her, and she is also a victim."

I suddenly remembered that a while ago Yao Feifei reminded me, "Junjun, have you offended someone in the game recently? Someone is willing to pay a lot of money to investigate 'Zuimeng Chi'. It seems like they want to find something to use against you!"

Are you trying to say that I owe you a favor again? I didn't ask for your help, you took it upon yourself. I won't acknowledge it.

Power leveling? Equipment being destroyed? Impossible! Such a thing has never happened when I take orders!

I can't tell whether it's anger or sadness, all I know is that my hand keeps shaking uncontrollably while moving the mouse.

For the first time, I felt a hint of sadness and desolation. In a daze, I didn't know where a hand came from and that person pushed me hard. I happened to be passing by the stairs and fell down the stairs.

Do not learn sister? Mo Qianjing ?.

The fiery clouds on the horizon become even more brilliant, and the lingering glow of the setting sun gently covers the person's hair, their eyebrows, their cheeks, and even the faint smile that curls up at the corners of their mouth, all dyed with intoxicating and warm colors.

Sorry.

I didn't open my eyes, just quietly turned over and buried my head deep in the covers.

At this point, is this still the thing that concerns you the most?

Orange, soaking everything, dyeing everything.

I instinctively touched my forehead, where a dull pain came from.

I know, the situation is already beyond retrieval.

Of course, Ling Hanfeng is no longer here.

Another important character in this incident, Ling Hanfeng, has returned.

Without waiting for me to speak, Lu Yuxiang suddenly took a step forward.

I looked at Lu Yuxiang in surprise, feeling as if I was meeting this person for the first time.

However ... ....

If it weren't for personal experience, I would find it hard to imagine that I would actually make such a disgraceful move.

I subconsciously felt that this provocation was different from the previous ones, so I suddenly twisted my body, shook off the girl who was grabbing my school bag, and turned around to run in another direction.

But suddenly a strong force came from behind, and my backpack was grabbed by someone. The other person pulled it hard, causing me to stumble back a few steps and almost fall.

But I can no longer keep my heavy eyelids open. Finally, I closed my eyes and sank into darkness.

I rubbed my slightly aching head and looked around. I found myself lying on the bed in the school clinic. A figure was standing by the window, gazing outside. As I squinted, trying to make out who it was, the person suddenly turned their head and met my gaze.

I was stunned for a full three seconds before realizing what I had seen. I had considered the scenario of him taking the initiative to find me, but no matter how I imagined it, it should have been a scene of him coming aggressively to interrogate me, definitely not the calm and composed expression he had on his face right now. Even when he saw me walking from the other end of the corridor, he pushed his glasses up and greeted me with a smile, saying, "Good morning."

I grabbed Lu Yuxiang and shook my head at him, then looked at Director Yan.

Director Yan walked straight to his own desk and sat down. I stood by Lu Yuxiang, ready to wait with him for the outcome, when I heard the boy whisper something quietly.

Never experienced such a chaotic scene, saying not afraid is false, I stubbornly bite my lips, without responding to the accusations of the crowd.

Calmness in action does not represent inner tranquility. I tossed and turned all night, pondering who orchestrated this farce against me. While I was leveling up, Butterfly Feifei, who was online, also discussed this matter with me. The conclusion we reached was that I indeed did not offend anyone in the game, but in reality, I have made many enemies. Could it be that the mastermind behind the scenes is someone who harbors resentment towards me in real life?

The conclusion we reached was that I indeed did not offend anyone in the game, but in reality, I have made many enemies. Could it be that the mastermind behind the scenes is someone who harbors resentment towards me in real life?

Chí Jùn Jùn! The girl with the ponytail hugged her arms, with a contemptuous smile in her eyes, "I know you're in a hurry to leave, afraid that Senior Ling will come to settle the score with you, right? Stealing someone else's speech, hiding and not daring to show your face after being exposed, you're even more detestable than a rat crossing the street!"

Ling Hanfeng looked at me quietly. After a moment, he asked, "Do you think I will forgive her?"

Chi Junjun, I'm sorry. Throughout the journey, Lu Yuxiang's apologies never stopped. I smiled bitterly and shook my head.

Next, I heard footsteps approaching me. The person seemed to have dragged a chair to the bed and then sat down.

I have become the "public enemy of the whole school".

Amidst my confusion and daze, the people around me had already noticed my presence. Ling Hanfeng's immense popularity in the academy is not unfounded, and the crowd that stood up for him immediately turned their attention towards me, their voices filled with righteous indignation and condemnation.

It is ... ... Mo Qianjing. And books.

As soon as I looked up, I saw Zhou Xiang, the sports minister of the student union, rushing towards me with anger. Among the student union, Zhou Xiang has always been considered a moderate who does not target me. Sometimes we even greet each other when we meet on campus. But now, he was staring at me fiercely with a gnashing tone, as if facing a class enemy.

I gritted my teeth and tried to stand up, but the scene in front of me began to blur, and my consciousness started to dissipate. In a daze, I seemed to hear someone shout, "Stop! What are you doing?"

Similar inquiries keep coming one after another, the entire channel is filled with friends' messages, my hands are placed on the keyboard, but I haven't typed anything for a long time.

When I opened my eyes, the sight that filled them was a rich and warm color. After a moment of confusion, I realized it was the radiance of the setting sun pouring into the room through the clean glass window, igniting a brilliant and vivid display before my eyes.

Why should I forgive her? I still dare not look up, just staring at my tightly grasped blanket. And she doesn't expect your forgiveness either—what goes around, comes around. She has always understood this principle.

[Gang] Luo Lang: You must have malicious intentions joining our gang. Be sensible and leave the association immediately!

I have always felt that Ling Hanfeng has never truly smiled at me.

Never mind, what I did was indeed disgraceful. Being besieged is just a matter of time, you don't have to worry about it.

I felt a sinking feeling in my heart, and Lu Yuxiang had already anxiously called out.

Miss Taojin, how did your task of stealing the speech draft go? The student council's accountability speech day is next Friday!

I sighed and said, "So that's how it is... Thank goodness the teacher arrived in time, otherwise I can't imagine how the situation would have turned out. However, I'm curious, that picture was taken from your phone, right? Who saw your phone and posted that picture?"

On my way to the classroom in the morning, I pondered tirelessly, making countless deductions and considering numerous possibilities, until reality slapped me hard in the face.

To know someone's face but not their heart, if this matter truly allows you to completely understand a person, it can also be considered a blessing in disguise.

This is a screenshot of the text messages between me and Lu Yuxiang.

The content of the main post ends here. What really shocked me were the numerous comments below - just as "Tang Xin" said, many "victims" appeared. They passionately poured out their grievances and recounted their experiences of being deceived by the "Gentleman Studio" in the past. Some even posted chat records at the time to prove the authenticity of the matter.

Enough! Director Yan shouted angrily, "Do you think what you did was honorable? You want to talk about loyalty now? What were you doing at the beginning?"

I have many accounts, and only five or six names were extracted from this list. However, one of the names is of great significance.

Hmph, I'm really sorry. When I was labeled as "Miss Gold Rush" in real life, I was already prepared to face all kinds of criticisms and blame. This is just a crisis in the virtual network. Do you think I will give up at this level?

I: "You may continue."

When I came to my senses, I was immediately startled - how could I have such thoughts? I always thought that I wouldn't care about anyone's opinions, and I thought I had already prepared myself to bear any slander. Why, at this moment, did I suddenly care so much about that person's thoughts? I even felt a trace of regret and fear.

When I rushed to the bulletin board at the teaching building, there was already a huge crowd and a buzzing sound of boiling discussions, which made me feel suffocated. I squeezed desperately to the front of the bulletin board and saw at a glance that four entire pages of printed paper were pasted on it, all with repeated content, which was the same screenshot.

It serves you right to be a bad person, it serves you right to be criticized by thousands of people. At this moment, besides letting time dilute everything, silence is the best self-defense.

Will he hate me more because of this?

To know, just a few months ago, I secretly took photos of Ling Hanfeng for profit. When the entire student union came to my door, I could still put on a smiling face and say, "The market demand is too strong, I am also helpless." But today, I actually fled at the critical moment!

I remained silent for a moment, slowly turned around, and looked directly into the eyes of the person sitting in front of the bed - Ling Hanfeng.

But not until today, did I realize that perhaps I, too, am hoping for someone to emerge from the vast sea of people, stand by my side, and say to me, "You don't have to fight alone. You are not such a bad person, and you can start anew."

This sudden outbreak of stubborn mood is not directed at the crowd who provoked me to leave the guild, but at the black hand behind the scenes - the reputation of the corrupt workshop. They exposed my work ID number and encouraged players to drive me away. Do they want me to become a rat that everyone shouts and beats on the street?

Too despicable, how can you treat President Ling like this?

That person, it's you, Ling Hanfeng.

As for you, Lu Yuxiang... The imposing middle-aged man snorted coldly, "You are indeed at fault for this matter. Return the speech immediately to Ling Hanfeng, write a two-thousand-word self-criticism, and also have your parents come to the school tomorrow!"

Director Yan! You cannot...

You, come with me.
