Chapter 144: Redress
"Back then, I was bewildered and made a huge mistake..."
Zhang Jiejie was only willing to reveal this much and refused to discuss any specific details.
"Okay, if you don't want to say it, then let's go to the Public Security Bureau and make it clear!" Shen Sisi signaled Gu Chengfeng to take her away.
As soon as Gu Chengfeng left, Zhang Jiejie started crying.
"No, I can't go, please let me go!"
"If I let you go, who will let my father go?" Shen Sisi was so angry that she wanted to tear her apart with her own hands.
"A good teacher and principal who worked diligently, burning himself to illuminate others, was thrown into prison and became a hated rapist just because of a few words from you. Do you know what kind of life he's going through? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
Every word Shen Sisi said pierced into Zhang Jiejie's heart.
Zhang Jiejie thought of Principal Shen's gentle and jade-like smiling face, and suddenly her whole body trembled.
"I...I'm sorry for him!"
Shen Sisi couldn't bear it any longer, so she grabbed Zhang Jiejie's hair and slapped her twice.
Her movements were so fast and fierce that it was too late for Gu Chengfeng to stop her.
These two slaps actually made him sober up a little.
One of Zhang Jiejie's teeth was knocked out, and she cried even more miserably.
"Have you remembered? If not, I'll continue to think of a solution for you!"
Now, Zhang Jiejie was completely afraid of Chen Sisi. She never expected that the gentle girl back then would become so cruel now.
He really has the guts to do it!
She bit her broken teeth, really scared: "I say... I say..."
"Back then, when I first started teaching at the school, it was Principal Shen who took me under his wing. I always thought I was his most proud student, but I didn't expect that when the school evaluated professional titles and outstanding teachers, I was actually not selected!"
"I asked Director Zhou from the HR department, and he said I had a good chance of getting the award, but unfortunately I didn't have all the necessary materials."
"But I clearly remember that I had prepared my materials and showed them to Principal Shen. He must have tampered with them!"
From that day on, Zhang Jiejie hated Shen Sisi's father.
"Later, Director Zhou came to me and asked if I was willing to testify against your father, saying he had threatened and molested me. If I did, he would give me the title of First-Class Teacher and promote me to Director of the Academic Affairs Office. I was also temporarily bewildered, and then..."
The past resentment, coupled with the temptation of the future, finally made Zhang Jiejie the fatal straw that broke the camel's back for Shen Sisi's father.
"I'll always remember the day Principal Shen was arrested. The look in his eyes when he looked at me was filled with disappointment... He was utterly disappointed in me!"
"I would rather he hate and blame me than see that look in his eyes."
Hearing this, Shen Sisi burst into tears.
"What happened next?" Shen Sisi asked, "What happened to your high position and generous salary? Why did you suddenly disappear and come here?"
Zhang Jiejie shook her head. "It's my fault for being too young and trusting a villain! Without it in black and white, how can a verbal statement count? That Zhou guy turned his back on me and said that if I dared to speak out, I would be the first one to get into trouble. I was the one who gave false testimony!"
Zhang Jiejie lost more than he gained. Not only did he not get what he wanted, he also lost his reputation and teaching career.
"I didn't dare to report him, nor did I dare to confront him. I could only endure it all silently, find this place where no one knew me, and start over..."
After hearing her words, Shen Sisi was so angry that her eyes turned black.
"You can start over, but what about my father? He's been frozen in time a few years ago. He's dead... He'll never have a chance to start over again!"
"I'm sorry, I really didn't know it would be like this..."
Gu Chengfeng had a cold face. He lifted the man up from the ground and handed him to Feng Yanzhou: "I leave it to you. You know what to do..."
Feng Yanzhou nodded, took Zhang Qingjie's hand and clasped it: "Let's go, let's talk somewhere else..."
The appearance of Zhang Jiejie cleared the injustice done to Shen Sisi's father.
She immediately knelt down by the Xingzi Lake, clasped her hands together, and comforted her father's spirit in heaven.
"Dad, you've finally been vindicated..."
Gu Chengfeng stood quietly beside her, feeling very distressed.
"Father is in heaven, he will definitely hear it."
The matter was thoroughly investigated within a day.
Just as Zhang Jiejie said, Director Zhou...oh no, he should be called Principal Zhou now, was arrested and taken to the police station.
After hearing the news, Shen Sisi had already returned to Jiangcheng.
Gu Chengfeng told her this himself.
"This Zhou is a morally corrupt, vicious villain! To become the principal, he brought down your father. He used all kinds of threats and inducements to win over Zhang Jiejie and a female student, and falsely accused your father."
"Now the truth is finally out. That Zhou guy and Zhang Jiejie, neither of them can escape..."
Shen Sisi had known this would be the result, but when she heard these words with her own ears, she couldn't help but tremble all over.
"Thank you for bringing me this good news..." Shen Sisi cried with joy.
This trip to Xingzi Lake was really worthwhile. Not only did she see the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains, but she also caught the key person who framed her father.
Her father's injustice was finally redressed, and Shen Sisi finally felt relieved...
This time I’m going there to prepare some things because the oil mill is about to open!
The fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the opening day.
Shen Sisi started working early in the morning.
The new factory building of the oil mill has been built, the automated oil pressing machines have been installed, and the warehouse is neatly arranged, with a festive atmosphere everywhere.
But somehow, Shen Sisi's eyelids have been twitching wildly since morning.
She was not a superstitious person, but the panic in her heart made her feel that something was going to happen.
As the opening ceremony was approaching, Shen Sisi felt uneasy and quietly called Jinshan to the backyard.
"Jinshan, are all the arrangements ready? Have you invited the people you want?"
Jinshan nodded: "Are you still worried about me doing things?"
"I'm not doubting you, but I just feel uneasy!"
Seeing that she looked a little strange, Jinshan knew the seriousness of the matter and said, "How about this, I'll check it again."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work!" Shen Sisi gave him instructions, and she was not idle either, walking around the oil mill and taking a look.
When passing by a courtyard wall, I suddenly saw a black mark on the wall.
It's a bit like the marks left by the soles of people's shoes.
But the wall had clearly been painted before, so it was impossible to leave such a mark. And judging from the mark, it must have been stepped on the wall.
She was analyzing the black mark, wondering if it was a footprint, when a tall figure suddenly appeared beside her.
"This is... someone climbing over the wall!" Gu Chengfeng only took a look and made an immediate judgment.
Shen Sisi was hesitating, and when she heard this, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Gu Chengfeng stretched out his hand and touched the dust on the mark.
"It's new, so it must have been put on not long ago."
"Judging from the direction of the shoes, someone flipped out from inside."
"It seems that someone has entered your place..."
