Ye Linchen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Su Yuqing's words.
She immediately agreed.
"Okay, it's a deal then. I'll come find you again tomorrow night at seven o'clock."
She nodded to Su Yuqing, then left with Feng Linlin and Lin Xiaojuan.
Su Yuqing stood there, biting her lip tightly, silently watching Ye Linchen's departing figure.
After leaving Lin Xiaojuan's dormitory building, Ye Linchen and Feng Linlin still had a long way to go.
Unable to contain her curiosity, Feng Linlin whispered, "Xiao Chen, will Su Yuqing really help us?"
Ye Linchen was very confident, his tone carrying a certainty.
"Highly likely. Didn't you see how she looked just now? Her left cheek was so red, it was obvious she'd been slapped. I dare say, it was Zhang Tingting! She must have been tortured to the point of collapse. Now that she finally has a chance to get rid of Zhang Tingting, she won't give up easily."
"What if... what if she doesn't show up tomorrow? Or what if she betrays us?"
Feng Linlin was still a little worried.
After all, you can't see into someone's heart, and no one knows what Su Yuqing is really thinking.
Ye Linchen smiled and comforted her, "Don't worry, if she doesn't show up tomorrow, or even betrays us, we can think of other ways. We'll deal with whatever comes our way, it's not a big deal."
Seeing Ye Linchen's calm and unhurried expression, Feng Linlin felt a little more at ease.
"Fine, this time we'll fight Zhang Tingting to the bitter end."
The two talked quietly for a while, agreeing to go to the microelectronics lab together the next day, and then parted ways at the crossroads.
Ye Linchen walked alone on the way back to the dormitory, but his heart was still unsettled.
She knew that tomorrow night's meeting was crucial, as it would determine whether they could bring down Zhang Tingting and get justice for themselves and the classmates who had been bullied by Zhang Tingting.
As soon as I arrived at the dormitory entrance, I heard Wang Lina's clear voice, as if she was reciting lines.
Ye Linchen opened the door and went in. Sure enough, he saw Wang Lina standing in front of the desk, reciting her lines with great enthusiasm.
"Your Highness, what should I do? My heart is broken, my world has collapsed, how can I face this endless darkness..."
Wang Lina covered her chest with her hand, frowned, and cried out in a tearful voice.
"Enough! Ophelia, stop talking! Your weakness only makes me suffer more!"
Wang Lina suddenly changed her tone and roared in a low voice.
She is clearly playing two roles: the gentle and pitiful Ophelia and the angry and sorrowful Hamlet.
Ye Linchen couldn't help but applaud: "Amazing! A truly excellent performance."
When Wang Lina saw her return, she smiled and said, "There's nothing I can do. Nobody's willing to help me with my lines. Xiao Chen, how about you play Hamlet and we go over the lines?"
Wang Lina's drama club is currently rehearsing "Hamlet," and she is playing the role of the female lead, Ophelia.
“Yes, Xiao Chen, can you help Lina? We burst out laughing every time we read our lines, so we can’t act with her at all.”
Li Hongying also smiled.
Ye Linchen quickly waved his hand: "I'm even less capable, I've never been exposed to this kind of thing before."
"Give it a try, maybe you have a talent for this," Lin Xuemei encouraged Ye Linchen.
"Just don't laugh out loud. Those two are laughing and joking around, and they're affecting me too."
But Ye Linchen was even more useless than them; just imagining that scene made him want to laugh.
Just as she was about to decline, she heard a "bang" as the half-closed door was kicked open.
Zhang Tingting walked in slowly, head held high.
His eyes scanned the dormitory room before finally settling on Wang Lina.
"What are they doing? Rehearsing a play?"
Zhang Tingting scoffed, "With your skill level, you're only good enough to play the Joker, let alone Ophelia? Aren't you afraid of making a fool of yourself!"
Wang Lina's face flushed red, and she was about to retort when Zhang Tingting glared at her fiercely, her words carrying a warning.
"With your family background, you dare to fight me? Don't even think about it in your next life."
After Zhang Tingting finished speaking, she smiled smugly and then turned her gaze to Ye Linchen and Li Hongying.
"And you two, don't think you can turn the world upside down just because you're a little clever!" Zhang Tingting said disdainfully. "So what if you have some tricks up your sleeves? You still can't touch me!"
"Let me tell you, if I find out who's been pulling these tricks behind my back, I'll make them pay!"
Seeing her fierce yet cowardly expression, Ye Linchen understood.
It seems that this sudden investigation has indeed frightened Zhang Tingting's family.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so impatient as to come to the dormitory to protest.
And that is indeed the case.
As soon as the disciplinary committee began its investigation, Zhang's father heard rumors about it.
He believed that he was usually careful and cautious in his actions and could not possibly leave any evidence against him.
After making inquiries, he learned that the disciplinary committee was investigating because it had received a report from the public.
So his first reaction was that his daughter had caused trouble again.
He immediately took some time to go home and interrogated Zhang Tingting's mother. Only then did he learn that Zhang Tingting had caused so much trouble in just a few days of college!
He was instantly furious.
I thought that Zhang Tingting would at least restrain herself after going to another place, but I didn't expect her to become even more outrageous and lawless.
Although Zhang's mother deliberately concealed Zhang Tingting's messy affairs during junior and senior high school, he still heard some rumors about them.
But he only had one daughter, so he naturally turned a blind eye, thinking that as long as nothing serious happened, it would be fine.
Looking back now, I realize I really spoiled her.
He immediately called Zhang Tingting, gave her a good scolding, and threatened her, saying that if she didn't want to study honestly, she should come back to the army immediately and stop embarrassing him outside.
Zhang Tingting fears nothing and no one, except her father.
In addition, she didn't want to join the army.
There are many rules there, and you can't wear nice clothes!
So she repeatedly promised that she would behave herself from now on and never cause trouble again.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Tingting grabbed Su Yuqing next to her and slapped her twice hard, telling her to find out immediately after returning to school who had reported her.
After venting her anger, she still felt unsatisfied, so she rushed back to her dormitory, wanting to teach a lesson to the people who had recently had the most conflicts with her.
She had people investigate the backgrounds of all these people, and they were all poor and destitute. How could they possibly have the ability to report her and cause her father to be investigated?
The more Zhang Tingting analyzed it, the more she felt something was wrong.
She always felt that someone was hiding in the shadows, ready to stab her when she wasn't looking.
She felt like she had a stone hanging over her heart, hoping that Su Yuqing could find out the truth as soon as possible, catch the informant, and settle the score.
