Chapter 138 Catching a Turtle in a Jar



The school forum was bombarded all night, but after it was successfully repaired the next day, all the malicious posts about Fang Zhi disappeared.

Instead, some clarification documents were pushed to the top.

The above statement says that Fang Zhi's true identity is actually a relative of a powerful figure in China, whose family has connections in both political and business circles.

The content was well-reasoned and supported by evidence, and it was confirmed that Fang Zhi's classical dance skills were indeed among the best in the current competition, allowing him to take the lead.

After a few posts, public opinion was halved.

A sparsely populated corner of the campus.

"Where's the person who posted this? Let him keep posting!" Guo Shuyao yelled at Fang Zhen. "I gave him 10,000 yuan, and he's already quitting after posting so few times?"

"We haven't been able to contact that person since last night." Fang Zhen looked haggard and was deep in thought.

One reason is that they couldn't agree on the price of the baby in her womb with Chen Hengtai, and he said he wouldn't care.

Secondly, she was worried that Liu Si's side had been exposed and had been detained by Qi Shen's men.

"Can't get in touch?" Guo Shuyao repeated, then asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

"Something unexpected might happen."

"What if something unexpected happens to him?" Guo Shuyao was unwilling to give up. "We were just about to move on to the next step of the plan, and now Fang Zhi's reputation has suddenly been turned around."

Anxiety and Guo Shuyao's aggressive questioning made Fang Zhen impatient, and she said sternly, "You can send it yourself!"

"No, that would be too easy to detect."

"Why don't you just create a new account?"

"Why don't you open it? Don't forget we're in this together."

The two women's argument grew increasingly heated, until finally they both turned and stormed off.

Just as Fang Zhen reached the corner, a black minivan drove recklessly toward her.

She was so frightened that she stood there dumbfounded.

The car braked less than five steps away from her, and then the door opened and a burly man got out and strode up to her, scanning her face from head to toe.

Fang Zhen had a bad feeling.

Just as she was about to run away, the man reached out and grabbed her into the car without saying a word.

-

The afternoon sun in autumn is just right.

Lin Yisheng took Fang Zhi out to buy some clothes before sending her back to school.

Koenigsegg drove around most of the campus perimeter before finally arriving at an inconspicuous spot with high walls and white bricks.

Lin Yisheng measured the size and distance of the hole in the wall and said to Fang Zhidao, "This is it!"

She explained:

"This area connects to the small grove of trees at the school, and hardly anyone passes by on weekdays, so no one cares about this hole."

"..." Fang Zhi stared silently at the hole, which only reached her thighs, and she had to curl up to get through. She thought that Sister Lin's advice about the school's loopholes involved climbing over the wall.

I never expected it would actually be drilling a hole.

Under the woman's encouraging gaze, Fang Zhi slowly crouched down and moved forward little by little. Half a meter tall weeds provided cover in front of the cave, completely submerging the girl's head.

The rustling sounds were just the rustling of leaves in the wind. Under a large tree not far away, a young couple was kissing passionately, their hands inside each other's clothes, completely unaware of what was happening.

Afraid of getting leaves in their eyes, Fang Zhi shielded his eyes with his hand and didn't notice them either.

She froze instantly when she stood up.

"Ugh, how could you be so mean..." The girl in the couple hadn't finished speaking when she caught a glimpse of a girl staring blankly out of the corner of her eye. "Ah!"

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

There's someone there!

The calls of a pair of wild mandarin ducks erupted from the layers of bushes, with the girl's scream being particularly piercing.

Fang Zhi's eardrums almost burst, while Lin Yisheng, separated by a wall, could vaguely hear the noise.

She rubbed her ears sheepishly, her expression unsurprised.

She seemed to have forgotten to remind Fang Zhi to be careful, as this grove of trees was not only a popular spot for skipping classes, but also a popular dating spot.

Only those with thick skin (like Anno) can forge ahead on this path as if walking on flat ground.

Before the two could react, Fang Zhi covered his face and quickly fled, looking like a coward running away with his tail between his legs.

This is so embarrassing, so embarrassing.

What could be more embarrassing than stumbling upon a young couple passionately kissing, their clothes torn and half-undone? She swore she would never leave this area after school this afternoon, no matter what.

After darting out of the woods for a while, the number of students on the road increased. From being criticized during the arts festival to having his background revealed, he now seems to be a celebrity at the school.

Along the way, some people whispered behind her back, while strangers came to apologize to her.

"I just realized I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have believed everything I heard..."

The series of apologies left Fang Zhi completely bewildered.

It wasn't until she entered the classroom and someone came up to talk to her in detail that she learned why those people had apologized to her.

Looking at the latest updates on the school forum on her phone, the dance teacher confirmed through investigation that there was no embezzlement or bribery, and saw familiar scenes in her clarification post.

Fang Zhi blinked slightly, a complex look appearing in her clear, bright eyes. These clarification posts and the fact that the teacher was reinstated so quickly were clearly her brother's doing.

When he's good, he's impeccable; when he's bad, he's terrifying and disappointing. His way of controlling his emotions is like taming a beast.

After much deliberation, I decided to send him a text message to say thank you.

The message was sent and received a reply almost instantly.

[Brother: Mm.]

The man's reply was indifferent. Just as Fang Zhi was wondering what Qi Shen's mood was, the next message popped up.

[Brother: The driver will pick you up at our usual spot after school. Use your break time to think carefully about how to explain running away from home, the phone card, and not answering the phone. I'm looking forward to it.]

Upon seeing this message, Fang Zhi's initial feeling of being moved was instantly extinguished, replaced by lingering fear.

She doesn't want to go back to Nangong right now. She only stayed with Sister Lin for one day, and she could feel the comfortable and relaxed atmosphere.

The events of the past two days have all crossed her brother's bottom line. Going back now would be like a lamb entering a tiger's den.

Thinking back to how she had just described her brother's attitude towards her as a combination of giving and receiving, a harsh punishment followed by a sweet treat, she became even more convinced that she couldn't follow her brother's way of thinking.

If she chose to return to Nangong with him out of gratitude, then all her carefully crafted performance of expressing her yearning for freedom would be rendered meaningless.

Fang Zhi made up his mind to go back to Sister Lin's place to stay today.

Only a driver comes to pick her up; dealing with one driver is a piece of cake, and she can manage on her own.

Unfortunately, opportunities don't always go as planned. After class, before she had gone far, she received a phone call from Lin Yisheng.

“Zhizhi, listen to me, there’s no one at the school gate right now. They must have cleared the area. I even saw your brother with bodyguards guarding the gate, like they were catching a turtle in a jar.”
