Undeterred, Aunt Hu searched the room thoroughly but found no one.

"What is Aunt Hu looking for?"

Gu Nanxun stared at Aunt Hu expressionlessly and said, "If voices could kill, Aunt Hu would probably be a corpse by now."

"No... I wasn't looking for anything?"

"Li Hongmei, didn't you say you heard Lin Qing calling? Why aren't you in the room?"

Seeing Gu Nanxun's gaze, Aunt Hu shrugged fearfully, then turned her head and suddenly saw Li Hongmei, who was stunned. She immediately confronted Li Hongmei with a question.

"I really heard a sound, could it be... yes, they must have escaped from the window."

Hearing Aunt Hu's words, Li Hongmei said in a panic. Suddenly, she saw the window behind the curtains and thought that Lin Qing must have heard the noise and run out of the window.

"Come and see, how do we run?"

Upon hearing Li Hongmei's words, Gu Nanxun pushed his wheelchair to the window, reached out and pulled back the curtains.

Behind the curtains was a large glass window, which was completely sealed off with iron bars, making it impossible for anyone to squeeze through.

Gu Nanxun found the iron bars in his spatial dimension, and for safety reasons, he had Chen Bin and Wang Haoran install them a couple of days ago.

Thankfully, they installed iron bars, otherwise even ten mouths wouldn't be able to explain themselves.

"I must have misheard you! I'm so sorry, Comrade Gu, I was just really worried about Lin Qing."

Seeing that she couldn't catch Lin Qing in the act, Li Hongmei had no choice but to admit that she had misjudged him.

"But where did Xiaolin, the educated youth, go?"

Suddenly an aunt asked.

"Aunties, my leg hurt again just now, and Qingqing rushed up the mountain to find medicine for me."

"I never expected to be slandered like this."

"Li Hongmei, what did my Qingqing do to offend you? What good will it do you to slander my Qingqing and ruin her reputation like this?"

"I...I...I'm sorry, I must have misheard. I was just too concerned about Qingqing, and that's why I lost my composure."

"Oh, you care about my Qingqing? So you brought a bunch of people to catch her cheating, and this is what you call caring?"

“Li Hongmei’s matter today will not be left like this. We will deal with this matter again when my Qingqing comes back.”

"As you all can see, my Qingqing isn't in the room. She just went up the mountain to find medicine for me. If you continue to spread rumors and ruin my Qingqing's reputation, don't blame me for being ruthless. We'll meet at the police station. You can ask around; defamation is a criminal offense."

"Xiao Gu is right. We were too hasty today and were fooled by Li Hongmei. Li Zhiqing, you must listen carefully before you speak in the future. Luckily we all made it here today, otherwise it would have ruined Xiao Lin's reputation."

"Yes, this girl's reputation is so important! Li Zhiqing, you can't say things like that!"

"That's right, Xiao Lin is such a good person! How could he possibly do such a thing!"

"Yes, yes, yes..."

"..."

After hearing Gu Nanxun's words, everyone started blaming Li Hongmei. It was all the fault of this young educated youth who knew nothing but talked nonsense, causing everyone such embarrassment.
