That night, the dormitory curfew was approaching, and Wang Lina rushed into the dormitory at the last second.
As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw Ye Linchen and Lin Xuemei sitting on the lower bunk, looking serious, as if they had been waiting for her for a long time.
Li Hongying also peeked out from the upper bunk, staring at her with a worried expression.
Feeling bewildered by the stares, Wang Lina put down her bag and asked with a smile, "What's wrong with you all? Why aren't you asleep yet? What happened? Are you all going to interrogate me?"
Ye Linchen stood up, looked at her, and spoke solemnly.
"Lina, there's something I must tell you."
Wang Lina was even more confused: "Why are you so serious? What happened?"
Ye Linchen took out a few crumpled but still legible pieces of paper and handed them over: "These are the flyers I found in the stadium today. There are at least thirty of them in the whole stadium, and they all have similar content, which is related to you and me."
Wang Lina took it with a puzzled look, glanced at it, her brows immediately furrowed, and when she looked down, her expression changed instantly.
She cursed loudly, "You're talking utter bullshit!"
Anger flared in her eyes, and Wang Lina abruptly looked up at Ye Linchen: "Xiao Chen, which bastard did this? Was it Liu Mingxuan? Was it that scoundrel?"
"I was too soft-hearted that day. I should have beaten him so badly he ended up in the hospital before taking him to the police station!"
She was trembling with anger, and as she spoke, she tried to rush towards the door.
"I'm going to find him right now and beat him so badly he can't take care of himself!"
Lin Xuemei was startled and quickly stopped her: "Lina, calm down! It's so late, you can't get out, the curfew just ended."
"You have no proof that he did it. If you act impulsively and actually take action, you'll be the one who suffers in the end!"
Ye Linchen quickly pulled her back: "He's just a suspect, it hasn't been verified yet. The flyers might be from him, or they might be from someone else. If you rush out now, you'll just be playing into their hands."
Wang Lina was grabbed by one of them, and after struggling a few times without breaking free, she stopped panting.
"I'm absolutely certain it was him!"
After uttering that harsh statement, she finally calmed down and gritted her teeth, asking, "So what do we do now?"
"Don't worry," Ye Linchen reassured her. "Your most important thing right now is to prepare for the performance. I'm telling you this so you don't find out at the last minute and ruin your mood. Leave the rest to me; I'll find out who's behind this!"
Ye Linchen got up very early the next morning.
Although the unsavory rumors about her and Wang Lina were rampant at school, Ye Linchen didn't want to lose her composure and become a laughingstock for those hiding in the shadows.
She changed her clothes and tiptoed out of the dormitory, trying not to wake her roommates.
She deliberately took a longer route and ran towards the stadium.
Because it was still early, the stadium gates were still locked, and several cleaning ladies were pushing carts, carrying brooms and dustpans, sweeping up fallen leaves and trash on the playground.
Ye Linchen walked to the iron gate, his gaze passing through the iron bars as he looked at the empty stands and the piles of garbage swept away, and a guess formed in his mind.
The stadium has cleaning staff who clean it every morning to keep the venue clean and tidy.
This means that the flyers she picked up yesterday were likely secretly placed there after the cleaning lady had finished cleaning the area.
If individuals from outside the university, such as Liu Mingxuan and Meng Zihan, frequently infiltrate the Jiangcheng University campus and distribute such a large number of leaflets, they will definitely attract the attention of school security guards and teachers and students, and they will soon be exposed.
Unless someone secretly assists them by helping them distribute flyers on campus.
This person is very likely a current student at Jiangcheng University, and is very familiar with her and Wang Lina's situation.
Ye Linchen frowned slightly.
It seems that after getting information from the reading club and the roller skating club, I can go back to the vicinity of the stadium and keep watch.
If we can catch the guy secretly distributing the flyers, the whole truth will come out.
With the plan settled, Ye Linchen didn't linger and turned to run towards the cafeteria.
After a quick breakfast, Ye Linchen returned to his dormitory.
Pushing open the door, she found that apart from Wang Lina, all her other roommates were still fast asleep.
Wang Lina has been extremely busy lately with the drama club's performances, often leaving early and returning late, resulting in severe sleep deprivation.
Today, she woke up earlier than usual, and there were dark circles under her eyes, indicating that she hadn't slept well last night.
As soon as Ye Linchen entered, Wang Lina looked up and said, "Xiao Chen, let's go outside and talk."
The two walked to the balcony at the end of the corridor.
Wang Lina said to Ye Linchen, "I thought about it for a long time last night. This is such a big matter, and I'm also a party involved. I can't just ignore it. I'll contact a few friends who were there that night and have them contact you so we can investigate together."
"Also, we can't always be on the defensive. I'll ask my juniors at school to help clarify the rumors, so at least our reputation won't get too bad."
Ye Linchen nodded: "That's a good idea. We should definitely take the initiative."
Speaking of this, she remembered something else.
"By the way, after I found out about this yesterday, I went to the drama club. You were rehearsing at the time, and I talked to your vice president, Shen Jiayu, about it."
Ye Linchen frowned and said carefully, "Her reaction... is a bit strange. We are investigating, and not only is she not cooperating, but she also asked me to help cover it up and not tell you. Although her reasons are very valid, they cannot convince me. I have a feeling that she may be involved."
Wang Lina did not answer immediately, but lowered her head and thought for a moment.
