Shen Linyue remained silent; the video, which was only a dozen seconds long, had already finished playing.

Thinking about why He Xiao was late for class and the new scratch on his chin, the answer seemed to be clear.

Back to the present, the video should have been taken by Gu Yi'an, but it's impossible for Gu Yi'an to add her on his own initiative and send her the video behind He Xiao's back.

So who is this person? Why would they send her this video? And what is their purpose?

Shen Linyue thought for a few seconds, deleted the polite greeting, and replied: Who are you?

After the message was sent, a red exclamation mark appeared on the screen: "You are no longer friends with this person. Please add them again and resend..."

Shen Linyue: ? ? ?

This person was indeed up to no good and wanted to sow discord.

Tsk, how can there be such a person?

...

Nothing happened overnight, and when Shen Linyue woke up in the morning, her mood was perfectly normal, as if she hadn't been affected by the video at all.

After saying goodbye to He Xiao, the two kids finished their meal and then took a car together to school.

He Xiao didn't notice anything until the morning class ended, and he relaxed and took a nap on the table.

Shen Linyue put down her pen, her gaze falling quietly on the dark, fuzzy head of the boy sitting next to her. After a while, she looked away, got up, and went straight out the door.

Su Xiao, who had originally wanted to hang out with her, was momentarily bewildered after watching her leave.

What is Yueyue doing? Why didn't anyone call her?

Class Two's classroom was right next door, so it would have been easy for her to find someone. However, Gu Yi'an happened to be out, so Shen Linyue thought for a moment and went downstairs to try her luck.

Just as he reached the corner on the first floor, he bumped into Gu Yi'an, who was surrounded by a group of boys.

"Good morning, Sister Yue! Why did you come down by yourself? Where's the boss?" Gu Yi'an greeted her with a smile as soon as he saw her.

Shen Linyue smiled and nodded: "Yes, I have something I wanted to ask you, is it a convenient time?"

Gu Yi'an was slightly taken aback, wondering what could Sister Yue possibly want from him.

Meeting her half-smiling eyes, he felt inexplicably uneasy, scratched his head and nodded: "Ah...of course I have time, what would you like to ask?"

Shen Linyue didn't ask directly, but turned and walked towards a less crowded area. Seeing this, Gu Yi'an felt even more uneasy and secretly sent a message to He Xiao when she turned around.

Shen Linyue stopped and waited for Gu Yi'an to come to a quiet corner where few people were around.

Gu Yi'an dawdled for a moment, then quickly walked up to her, carefully observing her expression before asking, "Sister Yue, what brings you here so mysteriously?"

Even though he was oblivious, he could sense that Sister Yue seemed to be in a bad mood.

So what exactly happened? The boss hasn't replied to him, it's really worrying.

Shen Linyue nodded and said, "It's something important. Who did you and He Xiao go to see yesterday afternoon? Why did you look for him? And was He Xiao's wound inflicted by that boy?"

Three questions in a row silenced Gu Yi'an. He tried to argue, but then met Shen Linyue's threatening eyes.

I never imagined that Sister Yue, who is always gentle, kind, and approachable, could be so fierce.

I must say, that threatening look in his eyes really does resemble Brother Xiao's.

Gu Yi'an coughed lightly: "Sister Yue, instead of making things difficult for me, you should just ask the boss. You know, I'm just a follower, and if I casually reveal this kind of thing, the boss will be angry."

Shen Linyue narrowed her eyes as she listened to his roundabout way of speaking, a half-smile playing on her lips: "You think I came here to probe your intentions because I had no evidence?"

Gu Yi'an: ...Even their tone is similar, no wonder they are siblings.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, intending to continue his bluff: "Haha, I don't understand what Sister Yue means. We didn't do anything last night, and I don't know anything about it."

Shen Linyue chuckled and immediately played the saved video for him.

"Can you guarantee that this voice isn't yours?"

Gu Yi'an's eyes widened as soon as he saw the video clearly, and he looked at her in disbelief: "Where did you get the video?"

He only sent this video to the boss, so how did it end up in Sister Yue's hands?!

Even if you beat him to death, he would never believe that Brother Xiao gave him the video, otherwise Sister Yue wouldn't be asking him now.

Shen Linyue smiled mysteriously: "There are no secrets in this world."

Gu Yi'an was shocked: "You peeked at Brother Xiao's phone?!"

"What?" Shen Linyue almost thought she had misheard. When she looked up and saw Gu Yi'an's reproachful gaze, her lips twitched violently.

"Your thought process is really... unique, hehe." Shen Linyue gave a fake laugh: "Hurry up and tell me the reason, or I'll say that you sent me this video because your hand slipped. Guess if He Xiao will get angry?"

Gu Yi'an, who was being threatened: ...

He had originally planned not to say anything, but seeing that Sister Yue was determined to tell him, Gu Yi'an sighed helplessly.

I'm so sorry, boss! He was forced into it! Sister Yue is so fierce, sob sob...

"Do you remember when you first transferred to this school, someone posted rumors about you and Xiao Ge?"

Shen Linyue asked, puzzled, "I remember, is it related to this?"

“Yes, Brother Xiao found out who posted it. It was Xu Hao.” Gu Yi’an glanced at her and then explained, “We didn’t do anything yesterday. Brother Xiao was just caught in the crossfire. We were going to find Xu Hao to ask him if anyone had guided him in this matter, but Xu Hao was too nervous and got scared. He ran away when the boss wasn’t paying attention.”

She was still a little annoyed as she spoke, saying that she hadn't even asked him anything clearly before Xu Hao ran off and didn't dare to come to class today. Heh, that cowardly bastard who dared to do something but didn't dare to admit it.

Shen Linyue fell into deep thought. She remembered Xu Hao very clearly; he was the boy who injured He Xiao's arm.

I can't believe he actually posted a rumor about her and He Xiao? Is he just bored out of his mind?

"You also think this is abnormal, right? At school, apart from Jiang Zhixing, who is our arch-enemy, no one dares to mess with Brother Xiao. But Xu Hao has offended Brother Xiao several times. I don't believe he wasn't being instructed by someone else," Gu Yi'an said angrily.

Shen Linyue pondered for a moment and asked, "So you suspect that Jiang Zhixing is the one causing trouble behind the scenes?"

"Yeah, he's the kind of person who likes to play dirty tricks."

Shen Linyue understood. Unlike Gu Yi'an, she didn't express her opinion on Jiang Zhixing. "I know everything. Go back now, class is about to start."

Gu Yi'an breathed a sigh of relief, and before leaving, he didn't forget to say a few words in defense of He Xiao: "Sister Yue, the boss really didn't do anything bad."

His eldest son is so well-behaved now that it makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

She's eager to get back to class right on time, and if she's late, she's thinking of buying something to make up for it. Tsk, this is becoming less and less like our former leader.

Shen Linyue's smile became more genuine: "I understand, I don't blame him."

Gu Yi'an breathed a sigh of relief and waved goodbye, but as soon as he turned around, he bumped into his boss who was rushing over.

Gu Yi'an froze, cold sweat pouring down his back. Fortunately, although He Xiao's eyes were cold, he didn't make things difficult for him and walked straight towards Sister Yue behind him. He breathed a sigh of relief and disappeared in a flash.

This isn't his fault! It's just that his opponent was too strong!
