Chapter 486 The Real Rulebreaker

"I was forced into this! I was bullied! They threatened me and told me not to speak up for you!" Wang Huili said, crying bitterly.

"Just because you're being bullied doesn't mean you should turn around and help them bully others." Wen Ni wasn't swayed by Wang Huili's tears. She stared at her intently. "Tell me, who taught you to say that?"

"If I tell you, will you really help me?"

"The Dean and Hu Huai-ren are right here. If you are truly being persecuted, they will stand up for you."

Hu and Teng nodded solemnly.

“Okay, I’ll speak!” Wang Huili tried to muster up a lot of courage before saying, “It’s…it’s Zang Li, who is majoring in economics and management.”

Why did she pressure and bully you?

"Because... I witnessed her intimate relationship with their class instructor, Wang! At that time, there were already rumors in the school that instructors and students were dating. In order to avoid the scandal from being exposed and to shift the blame, Zang Li had someone threaten me, saying that I would not be able to stay at Huashang University, and made me help them frame Instructor Chen and Wen Fuxun for the scandal!"

"You mean, it's Old Wang?"

Instructor Chen's expression changed.

He never imagined that Instructor Wang was involved!

He had previously given Instructor Wang a special warning, telling him to keep his snacks in check and not to act recklessly. Who knew that Instructor Wang would not only ignore his advice but also frame him for the incident!

"Call Zang Li and Instructor Wang here." Hu Huai-ren suppressed his anger and flicked his sleeve.

When Instructor Wang and Zang Li were summoned, they had clearly guessed that their scheme had been exposed, and their faces were very grim!

"Old Wang!"

Chen Rong could hardly hide his agitated and angry emotions.

"Why did you do this? I treated you like a brother, and this is how you treated me? And you even dragged innocent people into this!"

"I don't know what you're talking about," Instructor Wang said, still trying to play dumb.

"Wang Huili has already confessed everything—that she witnessed you, and that she was coerced into framing us! Are you still going to pretend you know nothing?" Instructor Chen shouted angrily.

“I…” Instructor Wang’s eyes darted around.

"Oh dear, it's just young people dating, why have you made such a fuss?" Dean Teng couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but offer a few words of comfort, "You just need to explain things clearly, and Instructor Hu won't be so heartless as to punish you too severely!"

Hearing the dean say this

The girl was clearly wavering, but Instructor Wang stubbornly refused to utter a single word!

"Instructor Chen! I'm sorry! It was all my idea!" Zang Li was young and under too much pressure, so she finally stood up, and Instructor Wang couldn't stop her.

Seeing that she confessed without being asked,

Instructor Wang rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

“Zang Li, please continue,” Hu Huai-ren said.

“Instructor Wang and I fell in love at first sight, and it was mutual! We confirmed our relationship on the sixth day of military training and became deeply in love. However, all military schools have regulations that prohibit instructors from dating cadets! We could only meet secretly, but I never expected that Wang Huili would see us that time.” Zang Li blushed slightly as she said this. “You all know what happened after that. I didn’t care about myself, but I was afraid of affecting Instructor Wang, so I came up with this plan…”

"You really know how to come up with ideas; you almost got me and Instructor Chen into trouble." Wen Ni sneered. "You've only known him for half a month in total. How deep could your feelings be? Is it worth going to such lengths to protect him?"

“Although we’ve only known each other for a short time, our feelings for each other are really deep! It’s like a destiny we cultivated in a past life!” Zang Li was a little emotional. As if to prove how good their relationship was, she turned around and grabbed Instructor Wang’s arm.

But Instructor Wang instinctively dodged, even turning his face away from Zang Li, his disdain and speechlessness clearly seen by Wen Ni!

"Zang Li has said so much, Instructor Wang, don't you have anything to say?" Wen Ni's eyes caught his gaze.

"I want to say that there might be a misunderstanding between Zang Li and me," Instructor Wang said in a low, cold tone.

"Misunderstanding?" Zang Li looked puzzled.

"It was Zang Li who initially expressed her feelings for me, but I didn't respond explicitly because of military regulations; I couldn't break them!" Instructor Wang's words were utterly cold. "Later, Zang Li repeatedly bothered me, asking me to come out..."

"What are you saying? Wang Peng, do you know what you're saying?!" Zang Li looked incredulous, thinking she had misheard.

Instructor Wang didn't even spare her a glance.

"Colonel Hu, I've always followed discipline in the army, and the unit is about to promote me to lieutenant. How could I do something so foolish?" Instructor Wang looked at Zang Li with disdain and disgust in his eyes. "Give up your future for a woman you've only known for a few days?"

"Wang Peng!" Zang Li's heart was breaking.

Her lips trembled, her face turned pale, but she couldn't utter a single more word.

"You see him as your lover from a past life, but he treats you like a disposable pastime." Wen Ni shook her head and sighed, "Zang Li, it's better for you to see whether he's a human or a ghost as soon as possible. It's better than getting too emotionally invested and finding it hard to extricate yourself!"

"Yes... I treated him with all my heart, but he only cared about protecting himself and threw my sincerity away like trash!" Zang Li's eyes welled up with tears. She glanced at Instructor Wang one last time, then took out her phone. "I have evidence of Wang Peng and my relationship here!"

Instructor Wang initially acted as if it were none of his business.

At that moment, he suddenly looked up!

“Ever since we got together, he’s made me delete all the text messages and WeChat messages we’ve exchanged, and he even forbids me from taking any photos of us together.” Zang Li’s hand trembled as she held her phone. “But he never imagined that I had the only one here. I originally wanted to keep it for myself so I could look at it when I missed him after he went back to his unit, but now, there’s no need!”

"Zang Li, what are you doing!"

Instructor Wang reached out to stop her, but Zang Li beat him to it and turned her phone screen towards the crowd!

On the screen

It was Instructor Wang, who was fast asleep with his shirt off. Zang Li was sharing a blanket with him, her arms also bare, and she was playfully making a peace sign on his head!

She was happy at that moment, but she never imagined that happiness would be so short-lived.

"Wang Peng, what do you have to say now?!" Hu Huai-ren slammed his hand on the table, spitting in anger. He pointed at Instructor Wang's nose and yelled, "It was just young people dating, the army and the school would have just given each other verbal warnings and that would have been fine. But now you've slept with that girl... not only did you sleep with her, but you also abandoned her and didn't take any responsibility! And you still dream of being promoted to lieutenant?! I think you should just pack your bags and go back to your hometown!"
