After letting out a scream, she was immediately silenced, her eyes wide with terror.

The next second, the hand went straight past her and took a piece of paper from Su Ying's hand.

"I'm being criminally detained and expelled from school? Sorry, but you're probably really spreading rumors."

As Xie Li spoke, he waved the paper in his hand, "This is a thank-you letter from the Public Security Bureau, stamped with their official seal. Oh, and in a few days they'll also send over a banner and medal for my act of bravery. Take a good look!"

The paper was indeed a type of letterhead commonly used by government agencies, and someone immediately stepped forward to read out the key points of the letter.

Just as Xie Li had said, it was indeed a letter of thanks, and Xie Li was being praised for his courageous act!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Zilan's face flushed bright red.

She couldn't understand where things had gone wrong. Jiang Baili had spoken so confidently at the time, how could she possibly be lying?

But Xie Li's letter is definitely not fake!

The people around her were giving her increasingly strange looks, and some of them were already angrily shouting at Chen Zilan for spreading rumors.

Chen Zilan said, her voice sharp but her tone weak, "What's so great about it? Humph, maybe these are two different things..." As she spoke, she tried to sneak away.

Xie Li, who was usually easy to talk to, suddenly reached out and grabbed her collar, pulling her back.

Xie Li: "By the way, teacher, I wanted to ask how the school usually handles this kind of situation?"

Chen Zilan's head buzzed. Teacher? When did the teacher arrive? How come she didn't notice?

"Chen Zilan!" A voice suddenly exploded in his ears. The head of the teaching department appeared out of nowhere, hands behind his back, roaring, "Come with me!"

Turning to Xie Li, he spoke with unusual gentleness, "Don't worry, Xie Li, the school will definitely give you a satisfactory answer to this matter!"

The head of teaching affairs was conducting a routine inspection.

Unexpectedly, Xie Li had someone call him over, saying that someone was spreading rumors and slandering classmates at school.

He was deeply impressed by Xie Li. The little girl was beautiful, well-behaved, and knew how to make hair growth serum. How amazing!

He had a premonition that Xie Li would soon become an outstanding alumnus of Linjiang No.1 Middle School and be recorded in the school's history!

So they rushed over without stopping, and just in time to witness such a wonderful show.

Moreover, he had just checked it and confirmed that Xie Li's thank-you letter was genuine and stamped with an official seal!

Then we can't just sit idly by and do nothing. We can't let a classmate do a good deed and be slandered because of their kindness, which would dampen their enthusiasm!

He will definitely handle this matter seriously and impartially!

——

Chen Zilan's punishment was announced quickly.

Jiang Baili was also given a written warning and was summoned to the dean's office for ideological education.

Although Jiang Baili repeatedly denied spreading rumors at school, Chen Zilan's evidence proved that the rumors did indeed originate from Jiang Baili.

Jiang Baili is completely implicated.

This news caused an uproar in the first-year international class.

Jiang Baili always prided herself on being a young lady from the capital and one of the goddesses of the international class. She usually had a haughty demeanor, had a fixed small group of friends, and only hung out with Chen Zilan and her group of wealthy heiresses. She seemed to have a very high status.

His generous treat during the archery class a few days ago also garnered him a lot of goodwill.

I never expected them to do something like spreading rumors and slandering others behind their backs.

Moreover, the way they were passing the buck to each other, like Chen Zilan did, didn't seem like the close sisterly relationship they usually showed.
