the truth
Yu Li initially didn't connect Zheng Ruizhen to the incident. She'd simply changed so much recently. Every day during class, she'd huddle in a corner, never making a sound except when the teacher called the roll. She didn't say a word in class, didn't make friends, and after class, she'd go outside. Even during lunch break, she was practically dead silent.
The students in Class 1 almost forgot that there was a person named Zheng Ruizhen in the class. Yu Li was no exception. In her heart, Zheng Ruizhen no longer had any weight and could not hinder her in any way. If she wanted to stay in Jiutang, then let her stay. Anyway, she was burdened with debts and her life would definitely not be easy.
Connecting Zheng Ruizhen and Wen Jingkui at this time is like the intersection of two different worlds, which is too awkward.
Yu Li withdrew her gaze from the shade of the tree. She knew Zheng Ruizhen was there, but between them, it would always be Zheng Ruizhen who would come to her. If Zheng Ruizhen was smart, she wouldn't let her wait any longer.
The bell rang for the end of get out of class. Yu Li calmly packed her bag and told Song Minjing that they wouldn't be going home together today: "Let Cui Ze take you a ride."
Zheng Zhihe pricked up her ears. At this point, she should have asked why. In the past, Song Minjing always took advantage of Yu Li's car. But Song Minjing said, "Ah, Cui Ze..."
With a very disgusted tone, he finally agreed: "Then I will go with Cui Ze."
Huh? Song Minjing is already so obedient, yet she doesn't even ask? Zheng Zhihe nodded inwardly, realizing the gap between herself and Song Minjing.
Cui Ze took Song Minjing away. Before leaving the classroom, he looked back at Zheng Ruizhen in the corner and keenly guessed what Yu Li would do next.
Zheng Ruizhen is really haunting.
"Let's go, we're the only ones left." Yu Li picked up her schoolbag. Her family's car was parked at another school gate where there were not many people, which was convenient for taking Zheng Ruizhen with her.
After returning to the classroom from physical education class, she found a note stuffed in her desk that said "Let's talk after school." At this time, she didn't think of anyone else except Zheng Ruizhen, so she contacted the driver who was supposed to pick her up and changed the route.
Yu Li took the lead and walked towards the west gate, which was the farthest from the main gate and in the opposite direction, so usually not many people came. Zheng Ruizhen followed silently behind her. When they arrived at the school gate, they got in the car and closed the door.
"I can tell you now, but Ruizhen, you won't let me down again this time, right?"
Zheng Ruizhen's eyelashes trembled. The last time she heard this sentence was during the Liu Yina incident. She wanted to tell Quan Yuli Liu Yina's true identity, but Quan Yuli said she was wasting time.
Kwon Wook-ri had long noticed that something was wrong with Liu Yina, and she had also found out that her real identity was actually Yin Yancan, who was always one step behind Kwon Wook-ri.
"Not this time," Zheng Ruizhen said, "I've taken your words to heart. Only by staying here can there be hope."
After telling the board that her opening speech was actually plagiarized from Kwon Wook-ri's, Zheng Ruizhen has been worried about being expelled from the board. The college entrance examination is only half a year away, and she cannot fail here.
She wants to prove her worth.
Pulling out her phone and flipping through the video, Zheng Ruizhen handed it to Yu Li: "The answers are all here."
The video started playing, with a noisy sound of fighting and scolding. The location was on the rooftop. Gao Gaoli punched and kicked Gao Zhuyan. Even when Gao Zhuyan fell to the ground and didn't move, Gao Gaoli didn't stop.
"Brother, this is the treatment a bastard deserves. Are you competing with me? Remember to be born into a good family in your next life."
Then Wen Jingkui appeared. He must have been unable to bear it and wanted to dissuade them, but somehow he hurt Gao Duli's nerves, so Gao Duli beat Wen Jingkui as well.
After the last fierce kick, Wen Jingkui staggered a few steps and reached the edge of the rooftop, his body bent out of the rooftop like a bow. Gao Duli had already sensed something was wrong at this time, but he still didn't have time to pull Wen Jingkui.
Wen Jingkui fell directly from the roof.
After a few seconds, there seemed to be a "bang" sound.
Gao Duli and Gao Zhuyan were both stunned. Gao Duli's first reaction was to grab Gao Zhuyan by the collar and tell him not to tell anyone: "You can't bring me down without audio or video. You can't prove that I did it. Gao Zhuyan, shut up!"
"Otherwise I won't let you go!"
The video ended here, and Zheng Ruizhen put away her phone. "I was able to record this by accident. I don't know if you know Wen Jingkui, but he is actually... the only friend I have at school."
Yu Li was a little surprised, but then she thought of Wen Jingkui's good-natured personality and found it not strange.
"There are three regulars on the school rooftop: me, Ko Soo-yeon, and Moon Kyung-kyu."
Gao Zhuyan was hiding from the height management, Wen Jingkui was depressed after being rejected by Zheng Zhihe, and she was suffocating under heavy pressure. In short, the three of them loved to go to the rooftop to relax, and it was there that she and Wen Jingkui became friends.
...At least that's what Wen Jingkui said.
On the day of the incident, Zheng Ruizhen stayed after school to help set up the venue, so she bought rice balls at the convenience store and ate them on the rooftop. Wen Jingkui was probably scolded by Zheng Zhihe again, so he also went to the rooftop after class. They chatted about various things, and not long after, Gao Duli came up with Gao Zhuyan.
Wen Jingkui is really a pushover. What does Gao Zhuyan have to do with him? If he can't stand it, he can just close his eyes and not watch it. Why did he have to run out to stop it? She was busy recording the video and didn't have time to hold Wen Jingkui back. Now it's a good thing she recorded it.
Otherwise there is no evidence to reveal the truth.
Zheng Ruizhen bit her lip, perhaps grieving over Wen Jingkui's death, and her voice cracked as she spoke, "I originally just wanted to film a video that highlighted school violence. At least it would be something I could use as evidence. Maybe one day I could use it."
While Zheng Ruizhen was speaking, Yu Li kept looking at her. Zheng Ruizhen avoided her gaze and curled her lips: "Then why are you showing it to me? Gaodu Li and I have no vested interests, so I don't necessarily need your evidence."
"I know, and I want to give it a try," Zheng Ruizhen said. Kwon Wook-ri's eyes were too sharp. Even though she didn't lie, she still didn't dare to look into her eyes. "First, I want to prove to you that I'm useful. Second, whether it's Gao Li or Gao Zhuyan who inherits the Gao family in the future, this video will be their handle. It will be useful for you to have it."
"No matter what, I just want you to help me. I want to continue attending school... and I want to follow you."
Follow me? Yu Li stroked her chin. Instead of immediately mocking Zheng Ruizhen's wild ideas as she usually did, she simply asked, "Ruizhen, where do you work now?"
It is impossible to just give up such a huge debt of the club. The fact that Zheng Ruizhen can still stay in school shows that she has indeed learned some tricks.
Zheng Ruizhen paused for two seconds: "The club, I have a deal with the club. I help the club do things to reduce the debt."
Yu Li smiled and said, "Is that so? This shouldn't be an easy thing to do, right?"
Zheng Ruizhen nodded hesitantly.
"I see." Pointing at Zheng Ruizhen's phone, Yu Li glanced at the front panel. "Find a media outlet and send it out."
Zheng Ruizhen: “Ah?”
Yu Li: "It's time to prove your ability. Remember to choose a media outlet that can maximize your influence. The prosecutor's son is a murderer. You've reported such explosive news, so the media outlet that received it should at least pay you a fee."
Once the money is received, part of the club's debt can be offset.
Zheng Ruizhen could understand what Yu Li said even without her saying it. She moved her mouth but still didn't say anything. She just responded with "OK".
If she has any needs for Kwon Wook-ri, she should first let Kwon Wook-ri see her value.
The car stopped halfway to let Zheng Ruizhen out. After the door closed, Yu Li still stood straight. She knew that Zheng Ruizhen had not told the whole truth. At least from what she knew, Zheng Ruizhen and Gao Zhuyan must have reached some kind of agreement.
The surveillance video of going downstairs must have been tampered with. It is understandable to delete the parts of Gao Guoli and Gao Zhuyan. After all, the Gao family cannot lose two heirs at once. But deleting Zheng Ruizhen does not make sense. She is sure that if Gao Guoli's father sees Zheng Ruizhen in the surveillance video, Zheng Ruizhen will definitely be the one to take the blame.
Now Zheng Ruizhen is fine, which only means that the surveillance video that Gao's father saw was version 2.0. As for the person who did it... It is not difficult to guess that Gao Zhuyan benefited the most after Zheng Ruizhen exposed this matter.
Gao Zhuyan couldn't reveal the information himself. Once he did, he wouldn't be able to get past Gao's father, and Gao Lili might really fight him to the death. But it was different after Zheng Ruizhen exposed the information. Gao Zhuyan became a clean slate, and Gao Lili had no reason to cause trouble for him.
It seems that Gao Zhuyan also has hidden strength in an inconspicuous corner.
At the same time, Yin Yancan also contacted Zheng Zhihe: "Have you reconciled with Quan Yuli so soon?"
After class in the afternoon, she saw Zheng Zhihe and Song Minjing walking together. If she hadn't re-entered Kwon Woo-ri's circle, the two of them would not have been so close.
Zheng Zhihe's efficiency impressed Yin Yancan. Her request at that time was that Zheng Zhihe obtain Kwon Woo-ri's forgiveness and then help her with Kwon Woo-ri's coming-of-age ceremony.
I thought I would have to wait a long time, but Yin Yancan praised Zheng Zhihe: "Zhihe, well done."
However, there was silence on the other end of the phone.
Yin Yancan realized that something was wrong: "Jihe, don't tell me you told Quan Yuli about our agreement? You will be punished if you do something wrong."
Zheng Zhihe finally said, "Oh?"
Yin Yancan played the recording again: "Aren't you afraid that I will send it out?"
After hearing the recording again, which was just the same two sentences as before, Zheng Zhihe finally felt relieved. The crazy woman Yin Yancan was playing tricks on her again.
He hung up the phone, leaving Yin Yancan yelling into the phone: "Hey Zheng Zhihe? Ah! How dare you hang up on me!"
Throwing away his phone, Yin Yancan walked back and forth in the room. Zheng Zhihe's move was wasted too quickly. What should he do next?
Suddenly, the phone rang. Thinking that Zheng Zhihe had changed her mind, Yin Yancan quickly picked up the phone: "Have you figured it out? I——"
"Ms. Yin Yancan?" The voice on the other end of the line was a man's, and his tone was very obscene. "Are you really from an aristocratic high school? I haven't tasted anything like this before. I heard that you have a strong desire and need several people to satisfy you at once. I'll call my brothers to help..."
Before she could finish her words, Yin Yancan angrily hung up. She was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She didn't expect Zheng Zhihe to post her number on that kind of website. What a crazy woman!
A day later, CPBC, the capital's most influential television station, broke a shocking scandal:
"Suicide? Homicide? Cries of despair hidden in the darkness."
