The girl behind him was none other than the girl Ye Linchen had been searching for, the one who had helped Zhang Tingting pack her luggage—the girl he was desperately looking for, the one he would search three feet into the ground to find!
After a few days apart, the girl looked a bit haggard and thinner.
He was wearing nothing but a plain T-shirt and shorts, his hair was disheveled and draped over his shoulders, and there were faint bluish-black tinges under his eyes, making him look very tired.
She was slightly out of breath, and fine beads of sweat glistened on her forehead, as if she had run all the way back.
The left cheek was significantly redder than the right, as if it had been slapped.
The girl was stunned for a moment when she saw Ye Linchen, then turned around and tried to leave.
Ye Linchen, of course, would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and immediately stepped forward to block her path.
"Hey! Wait a minute!"
The girl had no choice but to stop, her brows furrowed, and she stared up at her.
"Did you need something from me?"
Ye Linchen didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Yes, I have a few words I'd like to say to you. I don't know if this is a convenient time for you?"
The girl shook her head, her tone curt.
"It's inconvenient. I have something to do right now and don't have time to chat with you. You should go back."
How could Ye Linchen let her go so easily?
We finally found someone, and if we miss this opportunity, who knows when we'll get another chance.
She blocked the girl's path again, speaking earnestly.
"Hey classmate, I know you might not want anything to do with me, but I really have something important to tell you. If it's not convenient for you right now, could you tell me your name? I'll come find you when it's free."
The girl lowered her head and remained silent for a moment, seemingly hesitating about something.
Finally, she revealed her name: "My name is Su Yuqing."
She looked up at Ye Linchen with a complicated expression, her voice low.
"I know why you came to me, but... I can't help you."
"You know?"
Now it was Ye Linchen's turn to be surprised.
Before he could say anything, Su Yuqing had already guessed it?
Su Yuqing sighed softly.
“I’ve seen plenty of cases like yours. You’ve been bullied by Zhang Tingting and you want me to plead for you, but I don’t have that much power over Zhang Tingting. Even if I speak up, she won’t listen and will only make things worse for you. So, don’t waste your breath.”
Ye Linchen quickly denied it: "You misunderstood. I didn't come to you to plead for you because she bullied me."
Su Yuqing's face showed even more confusion, her delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly, and her eyes stared straight at Ye Linchen.
"Not because of this? Then why did you come to me?"
Before Ye Linchen could answer, Lin Xiaojuan, who was standing to the side, had already realized that what the two were saying was of great importance.
She looked around warily and lowered her voice, saying, "It's not convenient to talk here. How about we go to my dorm room?"
Su Yuqing didn't say anything, stepped into the dormitory building, and stood in the corridor.
"Let's talk here. I have other things to do and can't wait too long."
Ye Linchen glanced at the corridor; it was completely empty, not a soul in sight.
But it's still not very safe to talk about these things here.
She looked at Lin Xiaojuan and Feng Linlin with some embarrassment.
Lin Xiaojuan and Feng Linlin understood immediately and stood on either side of Su Yuqing, their backs to the two of them.
"You tell us, we'll keep watch for you!"
With them as cover, Ye Linchen no longer hesitated and went straight to the point.
"I heard that Zhang Tingting drove a girl to her death in high school because of bullying... Is this true?"
Su Yuqing's expression changed instantly.
She remained silent for a long time before nodding with difficulty.
"...It's true, that's exactly what happened."
Her voice was very low, as if she was afraid of being overheard.
Seeing that she admitted it, Ye Linchen immediately seized the opportunity and said urgently, "Since you followed her since high school, and your father was a soldier under her father, you must have a lot of evidence about Zhang Tingting's bullying, right?"
"If you're willing to hand over this evidence to me, I can help you bring her down and free you from Zhang Tingting's torment!"
As Ye Linchen spoke, he carefully observed Su Yuqing's expression.
She could tell that Su Yuqing was in a bad state, under a lot of stress, as if she had been tormented by Zhang Tingting.
Perhaps, deep down, she wanted Zhang Tingting to suffer more than anyone else!
The Discipline Inspection Commission is investigating the Zhang family, so I can use this opportunity to trick her.
If she's willing to hand over the evidence, I'll give it to Gu Jingran so he can pass it on to people in Beijing.
Perhaps they can even hand it over directly to the Discipline Inspection Commission and bring Zhang Tingting to justice!
What she didn't know was that Gu Jingran had directly handed it over to the Discipline Inspection Commission, which was quite an unexpected turn of events.
After hearing Ye Linchen's words, Su Yuqing lowered her eyes, a bitter smile appearing on her lips, and gently shook her head.
"It's no use. Over the years, it's not like no one has tried, but what has been the result?"
"Those who submitted evidence were all retaliated against by the Zhang family, and their fates were all more tragic than the last!"
"Otherwise, why do you think so many victims chose to remain silent and swallow their anger?"
"What good will it do you to get the evidence? You're just asking for trouble!"
Ye Linchen had anticipated that she would say that, but she was not discouraged.
She said confidently, "Don't worry, I'm different from those people! I have connections and can safely hand over this evidence, ensuring that Zhang Tingting and her family can't escape and will pay the price they deserve!"
