Chapter 66 Rumors Spread
The bedroom door opened silently.
Jiang Jingyan's shoulders tensed and he looked over.
Chen Qing stood there with a pale face, and no one knew how long he had been standing there.
It was gloomy outside the window, with dark clouds covering the sky.
She seemed lower and wetter than the sky.
Lian Zhuo turned his back and reminded in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Miss Tao will arrive at Huasheng in half an hour."
He quickly finished his report and left.
Jiang Jingyan's expression was calm, "What are you getting up for?"
Chen Qing's voice was unhappy. "Before, I asked you if Tao Siran was your girlfriend, and you said you didn't admit it."
Lightning flashed and thunder exploded.
She hunched slightly, holding onto the door frame, "I'm going to ask you again today, are you acknowledging the engagement?"
The man tried his best to control his emotions and said nothing.
Chen Qing grew up in his hands and looked well-behaved. Even the Luo couple had never noticed that if she was stubborn about something, she would definitely stick to it to the end.
Whether it is about the erhu or about myself.
When he is silent, he is inexplicably frightening.
I waited for a long time, but there was no answer.
Chen Qing closed the door indifferently.
Cold and distant.
Heavy rain hit in an instant, cutting cracks on the glass.
…
On the eve of Jiang Jingyan's engagement, Chen Qing was very busy at school.
There is the sophomore year final performance, exams, and summer performance arrangements.
Fortunately, she is busy and has no time to think about random things.
During lunch break that day, Yuan Hui pulled open her bed curtains and said, "Look at the large group of people from the department."
Chen Qing was studying the key points for the exam and thought they were discussing some gossip in the circle, so he opened WeChat.
The group was in an uproar, with hundreds of messages.
She read through them one by one and sat up straight. "Who is this person?"
"I don't know. I didn't write any class information. I withdrew after sending this."
Chen Qing's fingers were clenched so tightly that they made a crackling sound.
This stranger posted a series of chat records in the group and exaggerated it, saying it was the biggest news of the year in the folk music department.
No name was mentioned, and the term "a certain woman" was used instead.
This involved the inexplicable disappearance of a "certain woman" for twenty minutes before she went on stage at the charity dinner that night.
Two photos taken from a surveillance camera angle are posted here, with the faces slightly blurred.
The man said that these 'twenty minutes' were 'twenty minutes' to bring glory to the school. A certain woman risked her life to win the qualification to host the charity music festival for the school and asked the school to give her a solo performance. However, she was taken away by the police for investigation that day and was unsuccessful. Later, the woman was unwilling to give up and could not count on the school, so she simply shifted her focus to the leader above. Last week, the leader was drugged and asked the school to cooperate with the investigation.
A curious person in the group dug out the official group photo of the charity dinner, compared it with the performance costumes, and took a screenshot of an individual photo.
Chen Qing was trembling all over.
At first glance, it seemed that the male classmate who drugged the student wanted to escape the charges, take the initiative and confuse the public, but he did not have the ability to obtain the surveillance footage of the charity dinner.
It goes without saying who did this.
While she was in a daze, people in the group kept mocking her.
"Only twenty minutes? I've found my strengths that are better than capital."
"I guess you've never had a good meal before. A bunch of old men, are you really going to lick their asses just for a performance opportunity?"
"But she's really strong professionally, patient, and always finds opportunities. What a pity..."
"You don't understand, right? This girl has no parents. If she wants to make a name for herself, she can only find a godfather. Otherwise, you'd say she's ambitious."
Yuan Hui was furious and argued with the scholars in the group.
Within five minutes, he was kicked out by the group owner.
She was so angry that she threw her phone.
Chen Qing forced himself to stay calm. Before he was kicked out of the group, he quickly saved the comments in the group and collected the class information of the people who discussed and spread the comments.
Immediately afterwards, she contacted the lawyer who handled Chen's father's case that year, transferred all the money in the card to him, and made an appointment with the other party to discuss the power of attorney procedures in the afternoon.
Seeing that she was silent, Yuan Hui stepped on the ladder to comfort her, "This group of people is like this. Don't I know whether you did it or not? The school is also a waste. They can't catch a single student!"
Chen Qing changed his clothes and got out of bed. "I'm going to the city."
"I'll accompany you!"
"No, I can do it myself."
In the afternoon, Chen Qing communicated with his lawyer about his demands for this incident, and then reported the case accompanied by his lawyer.
After doing all this, Yuan Hui sent a message saying that the department head was looking for her everywhere.
On the bus back to school, Chen Qing guessed that the school would probably persuade her to keep quiet.
Sure enough, the department head took her into his office and, briefly and concisely, suggested that she go home and rest for a while.
Chen Qing pinched his palm tightly with his fingernails, "Why do you punish me?"
"It's not a matter of handling it." The department head said earnestly, holding a cup of tea, "The school is also considering your feelings."
"Why did I participate in the charity music festival? Why was there an extra solo performance? Others don't know, but don't you? When they forced me to go on stage, they said it was for the school. Now that I've been smeared for this, the school won't even respond."
"Chen Qing, don't be ungrateful! When they let you go on stage, it was a good opportunity for the students. You're not grateful, that's fine. But now that your personal affairs have affected the school's reputation, you should actively cooperate!"
Chen Qing remained silent.
After a moment, she pulled out her phone and said, "Since you admit that the school required you to go on stage, I will use this as evidence to file a civil lawsuit against the student who spread rumors and caused trouble."
When the department head saw the recording page, his face suddenly changed, "Delete it!"
Chen Qing sent it directly to the lawyer, not giving him a chance to snatch the phone.
"Chen Qing!" The department head was furious.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
He stood up and said, "You're here."
Outside the door was the school leader with a serious expression, and three plainclothes officers stood behind him.
Chen Qing's heart skipped a beat.
Since this matter involves a charity music festival, they received an anonymous letter and came to the school to investigate.
In fact, the investigation is normal, after all, it is a public welfare activity initiated by Minister Tao.
Once bribery is involved, all departments become very sensitive.
Chen Qing didn't resist and told the truth.
The plainclothes officer sorted out the transcript and asked a final question, "At the charity dinner, you left the lounge for twenty minutes. Who did you meet? Was it someone from the theater?"
She was stunned and didn't speak for a long time.
School leaders coughed to remind.
Chen Qing rubbed the back of his hands, his throat choked with a breath, "No."
"Who is it?"
She blinked, her breathing coming in heavy, panicked steps.
The plainclothes officers looked at each other and stood up. "Since it's inconvenient for classmate Chen to talk here, please come with us."
Along the way, Chen Qing's heart was in turmoil.
If he tells the truth, he will give Jiang Jingyan away.
If I don't tell you, I'm afraid this matter won't end smoothly.
She pressed her brows, a chill sweeping through her body.
Tao Siran's move was brilliant.
Arriving at the Municipal Bureau, neon lights were just coming on.
Chen Qing walked into the interrogation room in casual clothes. Someone was already sitting at one end of the long table.
She stopped.
