Chapter 172 Caught in the act



Just then, the counselor hurried to the cafeteria.

"What's going on?"

Jiang Manyue glanced at the counselor and without waiting for the girl to speak, she repeated what had just happened.

"Teacher Zhang, she openly slandered me in public and destroyed my marriage, which is protected by law. I want to hold her accountable."

Seeing Jiang Manyue's firm attitude, the girl hurried to ask the counselor for help.

Although she and Jiang Manyue are not in the same major and do not have the same counselor, she hopes that the counselor will give her some leniency because she is also a student and knows nothing.

The counselor ignored her plea and simply asked, "Classmates, does anyone know this student's name and major?"

The students watching were quite enthusiastic. A girl with a ponytail immediately raised her hand and said, "Teacher, I know her. Her name is Lin Xiaoyi, and she majors in Russian."

The counselor nodded at her and looked at Lin Xiaoyi. "Lin Xiaoyi, I will explain your actions to your counselor truthfully. As for the follow-up treatment, please wait for notification from the department."

After that, the counselor said loudly, "Regarding the rumors circulating about Jiang Manyue these past few days, the department has decided to seriously investigate and handle them. We cannot wrongly accuse a good person, nor can we let a bad person go. This matter has not yet been concluded. If any students have inside information, please provide some information. Please submit it anonymously to my office, room 3, on the third floor of the office building. Thank you."

Jiang Manyue nodded to the counselor, then let go of Lin Xiaoyi's hand.

Lin Xiaoyi was still in shock, and Jiang Manyue smiled at her again, "When everything is revealed and I find the person who spread the rumors, I will not let you who spread rumors go. Just wait."

These words made Lin Xiaoyi a little overwhelmed again. She really didn't expect this kind of result. This time she had hit a wall.

Jiang Manyue was still in the mood to thank the counselor, and then pulled Cheng Nana, who was already a little stunned, to continue queuing for food.

"Man Yue, you are so powerful, can you really hold them accountable?"

Cheng Nana asked in a low voice in Jiang Manyue's ear. She didn't know why, but she felt so excited and worried. Maybe it was because she would be happy if those who spread the rumors could be punished, but she was also worried that so many people spread it and it would be difficult to hold them accountable.

Jiang Manyue smiled and said, "It's just a warning to others. With so many people spreading the news, I can't possibly catch them all. But I will catch those who try to stand out, like that clueless Lin Xiaoyi. She just picked on me after hearing a few words from others. If I don't hold her accountable, who else should I hold accountable?"

Cheng Nana nodded excitedly, "Yes! Just arrest people like her! It's so satisfying! Look how scared she was after you said those words! I could laugh for days!"

Jiang Manyue smiled and touched her head. "Are you happy now? Look how angry you are when others spread rumors about me. Anger can easily cause wrinkles."

Cheng Nana shook her head, as if she didn't really care about getting wrinkles. She was just like that and couldn't stand seeing her friends being bullied.

After the two of them finished their meal, the other roommates had already found a seat waiting for them. As soon as they saw Jiang Manyue, they gave her a thumbs up.

Jiang Manyue smiled and didn't say much, but she clearly felt that after the operation on Lin Xiaoyi, fewer people in the cafeteria looked at her.

In the afternoon, Jiang Manyue attended class as usual, as if nothing had happened.

Lin Xiaoyi was in a miserable state. She was absent-minded the whole afternoon, and kept thinking about Jiang Manyue's words that she would hold her accountable.

She knew very well that if Jiang Manyue really did that kind of thing, how could she dare to say that to her? Was she going to let others investigate?

Jiang Manyue was so sure, she must have not done it. Then I would really become the person who spread the rumor. I also embarrassed her in front of her in the cafeteria, saying that she had an improper relationship with the department leader. She would definitely not let me go!

The more Lin Xiaoyi thought about it, the more scared she became. Would the department punish her? Then her file would be ruined!

What’s even more terrifying is that if Jiang Manyue really goes to the army to report this matter, there will be an even uglier stain on her file.

She knew she would not go to jail, but if there was a major stain on her file, her life would be ruined. Which good company would be willing to hire someone like her?

Lin Xiaoyi simply wanted to slap herself to death for being so confused and rushing to take the lead just because she heard a few rumors from others.

Is she crazy? Jiang Manyue has nothing to do with her, so why is she trying to make things difficult for her?

Because of this incident, Lin Xiaoyi couldn't eat or sleep well. She fell ill before the counselor could talk to her.

He Hui and Zhang Yingjie, who majored in Russian, immediately told Jiang Manyue the news.

"Lin Xiaoyi was so scared by you that she became sick and couldn't attend classes. I heard from the people in her dormitory that she was quite sick. She was in a daze and cried from time to time."

Cheng Nana looked gloating, "Serves her right! Let her mess around!"

Jiang Manyue didn't sympathize with Lin Xiaoyi either. Wasn't that her own fault? If she hadn't embarrassed herself in public in the cafeteria, she wouldn't have been so scared.

After Lin Xiaoyi fell ill, the rumors spread even more fiercely, but no one dared to say that Jiang Manyue had an improper relationship between a man and a woman. They only said that the people who made things difficult for Jiang Manyue in the cafeteria seemed to be going to jail, and they were scared because of this and fell ill.

Of course, the instigator of the whole thing was focused on this matter all the time. After thinking about it, jealousy and hatred prevailed, and she wrote a letter of complaint against Jiang Manyue herself.

The report letter did not mention any improper relationship between her and a certain leader. It only said that Jiang Manyue's scholarship was obtained through illegal means and that she was selected into the translation team through backdoor channels.

She wanted to make this matter bigger, preferably to the point where it ended badly. Due to the pressure from public opinion, the school could only let Jiang Manyue suffer in silence.

In the end, all the students may believe that Jiang Manyue is such a person, because there is no evidence to prove her innocence and she has never done such a thing.

She had the letter of accusation in her pocket and sneaked into the office building while everyone was having lunch.

Walking to the third office on the third floor, she knocked on the door first. When she heard no response, she turned the doorknob and walked in.

As expected, there was no one inside. She put the letter of complaint on the table and just turned to leave when the counselor suddenly opened the door and stood at the door.

"Classmate Zhou Xue? What do you want to talk to me about?"

Zhou Xue panicked instantly. She thought the counselor was not there, but she didn't expect to be caught by him!
