When Shen Heng became unreasonable, Bai Jiaojiao bit him, which only fueled his anger.

"I will never... talk to you again."

Bai Jiaojiao was late for her appointment with her sisters the next day. She looked unwell because she hadn't rested well, but she noticed that the other two people sitting in the library looked even worse. Shu Manling looked like she had just finished crying.

In the library, Bai Jiaojiao couldn't speak loudly, so she silently mouthed, "What's wrong?"

When Xu Yue saw Bai Jiaojiao arrive, she pulled Shu Manling along and led Bai Jiaojiao to a bench outside the library.

"Jiaojiao, I'm so angry! Chen Meizhen lost the class funds herself and then accused Shu Manling of stealing them!"

As soon as Xu Yue finished speaking, Shu Manling started crying again because she felt wronged.

She wasn't a fragile person, but these days everyone values ​​their reputation more than their life. In an ivory tower like a university, if she were to be branded a thief, how could she possibly continue to be classmates with everyone?

Bai Jiaojiao knew the seriousness of the matter and asked first, "How much money was lost? What makes her suspect you?"

“All the 10.5 yuan I collected is gone,” Shu Manling said, feeling extremely wronged. “Just because I’m poor, Chen Meizhen said I must have taken it. She even told me to hand it over immediately or she would call the police.”

Shu Manling didn't have even a dollar and a half, let alone ten and a half dollars.

"You didn't steal the money, why are you crying?" Bai Jiaojiao took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to Shu Manling. "Is Chen Meizhen still in the dormitory? Let's go find her and clear things up. She's trying to frame someone without any evidence!"

Shu Manling is an honest person, while Xu Yue is usually loud and boisterous like a rooster, but when faced with this kind of situation, she was speechless after being shut down by Chen Meizhen.

“She shouldn’t be in the dorm. She came back early this morning, threw a tantrum, and then left again,” Xu Yue said.

“Let’s go, let’s go find the teacher and explain things. We can’t find Chen Meizhen, but can’t we find the teacher? If we don’t resolve this quickly, once she starts spreading rumors, Shu Manling will be in trouble.”

It's easy to spread rumors, but it's not easy to clarify them.

"Yes, let's go find Teacher Huang! We need to get this sorted out as soon as possible!"

Shu Manling was so wrongly accused this morning that her mind went blank, and all she could do was panic.

They were only thinking about how to clear their name, but didn't consider the consequences of not dealing with the matter quickly.

The three of them were lucky; it was Sunday, and Huang Shifeng was still in the lab reading literature.

Seeing the three of them, Huang Shifeng was quite surprised: "Is there something you need, classmate?"

"Teacher, it's like this..." Xu Yue blurted out, but Bai Jiaojiao stopped her: "Let Shu Manling say it herself."

It's best if the victims tell their own stories; even if they believe Shu Manling, they are still just bystanders.

Shu Manling immediately said, "Teacher, this morning Chen Meizhen came back to the dormitory and said that the class funds she left in the dormitory were missing. Because my family is not well-off, she said that I stole them, and she even ordered Zhang Mai and Hu Xiao to search my things. Teacher Huang, please believe me, I really didn't take everyone's class funds. Chen Meizhen didn't find the money here, but she still thinks I stole it. She told me to think carefully and return the money and turn myself in, but I really didn't!"

Shu Manling cried as she spoke, saying that it was understandable to be anxious. She had finally made it big and really didn't want to add any stains to her record out of thin air.

"Alright, alright, Shu Manling, don't worry, your teacher will definitely help you with this."

Huang Shifeng's job as a class teacher was actually quite easy. After all, the students were all college students who could handle their own affairs and wouldn't bother him. So when someone came to him, he wasn't impatient at all.

"Did you really not take this money?" Huang Shifeng asked again.

"Teacher, it really wasn't me. I swear on my integrity and my life, I don't believe I stole any class funds, and I absolutely haven't done anything underhanded. Teacher, please, please believe me!"

There were quite a few people in the lab on the weekend, and Shu Manling's excited tone attracted everyone's attention.

Huang Shifeng quickly calmed her down: "Classmate, don't worry. The class monitor is probably just too anxious. After all, the theft of class funds is her responsibility. If you didn't take it, she will definitely clear your name."

Huang Shifeng could sense their dissatisfaction with Chen Meizhen, but after all, Chen Meizhen's father was his colleague. Although they weren't close, Chen Meizhen's mother specially brought him some fruit after learning that he was Chen Meizhen's homeroom teacher.

“Teacher Huang, if we want to clarify that Shu Manling didn’t take the money, we need to find the real thief.”
