They had lived through turbulent times and had had enough of vigilante justice, verbal abuse, and fabricated charges.

Even if the woman did something wrong or broke the law, they wouldn't punish her; only the police would.

This is what people think, and we hope the police will not disappoint.

He Tiantian and Cui Ying went back, just as the other students had finished class.

He Tiantian and Cui Ying went on stage to explain to everyone that those were all slanders.

The two students who were sent to the countryside with Huang Jingli said it was slander, so they couldn't insist it was true.

The students in the class searched the school and tore down and threw away all the slanderous posters.

The school also took the matter very seriously. Wu Youliang went to the nearby police station to report the case because it involved college students, and the school leaders also demanded that the case be severely punished.

Huang Jingli's cohort of college students was taking the college entrance examination for the first time after the end of the turbulent era.

Every industry needs talented people, so the country and schools place high hopes on these rare college students.

Such an incident must not be tolerated.

This is one reason. On the other hand, many teachers were deeply disgusted by the slanderous posters they received back then. This action reminded them of those dark years.

A thorough investigation into this matter seems like a way to find an outlet for their past grievances.

Tainan University is the best university in Tainan.

The local police station's primary task is to maintain public order in the area. After receiving the report, they immediately dispatched several officers to investigate the vicinity of the school.

Wu Youliang also provided information about Lin Xiaoru's constant threats against Huang Jingli, which was filed at the police station.

Since there was a suspect, the police went directly to Nanshi University of Finance and Economics, three kilometers away, to question Lin Xiaoru.

Lin Xiaoru was called to the teacher's office right after class. Because there was no evidence, Lin Xiaoru was not taken back to the police station, but was questioned in the teacher's office.

Lin Xiaoru's heart skipped a beat; she hadn't expected Huang Jingli to call the police.

She thought that, like before, Huang Jingli would silently endure it.

There must be someone else involved who's sabotaging this.

He Tiantian is no good; she's a busybody!

With both old and new grudges, Lin Xiaoru began to hate He Tiantian.

However, when facing the police, Lin Xiaoru was very cautious and denied everything. She explained that she and Huang Jingli were sent down to Qijia Village as educated youth together, but denied bullying or slandering Huang Jingli.

"It's best if there's no false accusation. We will investigate this thoroughly this time," the policeman said before leaving. "Please don't leave Nanshi for a month. We'll come back to question you again if we have any questions."

"Okay, I have nothing to hide, so please investigate." Lin Xiaoru said confidently, showing no stage fright in front of outsiders.

Seeing Lin Xiaoru so calm, the teachers around her secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that nothing bad would happen.

School is a place for learning, and we don't want these kinds of messy things to happen. Besides, those who get into university are all hardworking and diligent, and teachers don't want such things to affect their students' future.

The police officers split into two groups: one group went to investigate Lin Xiaoru, and the other group went to Nanshi University to investigate who posted the big-character poster.

After questioning the gatekeeper and some security guards, some clues were found. It was done by three young men, but whether they are university students from Nanshi is not yet certain!

Based on the clues and descriptions provided by the security guards and cleaning staff outside the gate, the police station roughly sketched out the appearances of the three people.

Based on this, a search was launched in the vicinity of the school.

Although the perpetrators have not yet been found, they have indeed cleared out some hooligans and unemployed people near Nanshi University.

Cui Ying and He Tiantian came home from school and agreed to visit Huang Jingli together.

Huang Jingli recovered somewhat under Wu's mother's care, but the school doctor said she still needed to rest in bed. So every day after school, He Tiantian would lend her notebooks to Huang Jingli, and Wu Youliang would return them to He Tiantian the next morning.

"You're here, Mom. There are still some apples at home. Take a few out and give them to the two of them," Huang Jingli said with a smile. These were apples her father-in-law bought in his hometown, and they tasted especially good.

"Okay, you two chat first, I'll go wash the apples," Wu's mother said with a smile. With He Tiantian and Cui Ying coming over these past few days, her daughter-in-law's mood had improved a lot.

"Thank you, Aunt Wu," He Tiantian said with a smile, watching Aunt Wu leave.

Cui Ying sat down next to Huang Jingli and asked, "How are you feeling today?"

"It's okay, I feel much better," Huang Jingli said. "The doctor said I can go back to school in a week. The exams are in a month, so I need to work hard."

"Actually, I didn't think there was anything important. You'll understand once you look at the notes," He Tiantian said with a smile, hoping that Huang Jingli would prioritize her health and the baby in her womb.

"By the way, Sister Jingli, you reported it to the police. Did you find out who put up the big-character poster?" Cui Ying asked. "I ran into Teacher Chen today, but he didn't say anything!"

Huang Jingli smiled wryly and said, "We've reported it to the police, but we haven't found out yet. Lin Xiaoru is always very careful, so she definitely didn't put it up herself. She must have hired someone to do it. We've found out that three men put it up, but we still haven't found out who they are."

“Don’t be afraid. We can find a way to deal with Lin Xiaoru. Sooner or later we’ll catch her red-handed,” He Tiantian said. “Anyway, we can’t show weakness when dealing with Lin Xiaoru.”

“Yes, now that a report has been filed, the police have also questioned Lin Xiaoru. I estimate that she will behave herself for a while and won’t dare to do anything.” Huang Jingli smiled bitterly. “I can have some peace and quiet for a while. After I give birth, when Lin Xiaoru is arrogant in front of me, I’ll slap her across the face. I will definitely not swallow this insult.”

The reason Huang Jingli was afraid of Lin Xiaoru in the past was not because she couldn't beat Lin Xiaoru, but because of her bad family background, which forced her to keep a low profile.

Now that the issue of ingredients is no longer a problem, what does Huang Jingli have to fear from Lin Xiaoru?

Since that's the case, let's see who's stronger and who can throw a tantrum.

“That makes sense.” He Tiantian nodded. “No matter what, you must take good care of yourself. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. As for the school and class, the school and teachers have already clarified things, so you don’t need to worry about others looking at you strangely.”

"Thank you all. I'm so grateful that I was a sent-down youth in Qijia Village with you all, and that we even got into the same university together. Without your testimony, and with Lin Xiaoru around, I would have been in deep trouble!" Huang Jingli said with emotion, having gained a deeper understanding of her friends.
