Chapter 1216 A fatal blow
An hour later, Lianyi took out the film from the camera, wiped the camera clean with a cloth, and put it back into Wu Liang's bag. When putting it back, she also found a bag of white powder.
Lianyi's eyes rolled and she took out the powder and divided it into two parts. She poured them into the mouths of the two people on the bed respectively. She then asked Cheng Lei to give them half a cup of water, then she clapped her hands and asked everyone to leave.
When going downstairs, Lianyi reminded everyone:
"Act cheerfully, we are here for a dinner party."
After a few people left safely, they walked directly towards the school. Fortunately, it was still early and they could make it back to the dormitory in time.
"I'll give you a copy of the photo after it's developed, and you can help send it back to the Hu family in Lu City."
"good!"
"If the Hu family asks you to verify something, you know what to say, right?"
"Know."
"Pretend you don't know us when we meet next time. I'll give you the things outside the school. Be careful and don't let Hu Xingbang take revenge on you."
Lianyi thought Cheng Lei was a nice guy, so she mentioned it casually.
"You too."
When they arrived at the school gate, the two groups of people separated and walked away. It was only when they returned to the dormitory that Zhao Xinruo lay on the bed and began to cry. But this time no one came forward to comfort her. After all, everyone was willing to go out for dinner because they were invited by Zhao Xinruo, and they were not on guard because they trusted her. But today, reality taught them a lesson.
Lianyi waited until Zhao Xinruo had cried enough before she spoke:
"Everyone will go to class as usual tomorrow. Don't reveal anything even to Hu Xingbang. If anyone asks, just tell the truth. But in the second half, just say that you felt a little dizzy, so you borrowed an empty room from the store to rest for a while. After you recover, we will go back to school together. Don't say anything else."
All three nodded.
"When the time comes, just say that the three of you rested in one room, and Xinruo and I were in another room. Later, Xinruo and I went to find you. Remember that?"
“I remember.”
"That's good, wash up and go to bed early."
The three nodded and were about to leave when Zhao Xinruo suddenly stood up and said:
"I'm sorry everyone, this is all my fault!"
After saying this, he bowed to everyone one by one and apologized.
The four of them looked at each other and said nothing. Lianyi helped her up and said:
"Xinruo, don't be fooled by the illusion. Everyone is fine this time because Luoxi, Cheng Lei and I were alert. If Hu Xingbang really had evidence against us, do you know what we would face?"
"I know!"
Zhao Xinruo said with trembling lips.
"It's good that you know it. You must keep your eyes open in the future. You are not always so lucky, and I can't always be by your side."
Lianyi said the first half of her sentence to Zhao Xinruo, and the second half to all the girls in the dormitory.
"I've got it. If I don't learn my lesson, I'll be blinded."
Zhao Xinruo said through gritting her teeth.
That night, only Lianyi slept soundly. Zhao Xinruo had nightmares all night. In her dreams, she was bullied by Hu Xingbang and experienced miserable things after being caught.
The rest of the people also slept uneasily because Zhao Xinruo kept talking in her sleep and because of what happened at night, and they tossed and turned in their beds.
At six o'clock the next morning, Lianyi got up early as usual, washed, changed into sportswear and went for a run. However, on the way today, she used a public phone to call the police, saying that the "Garden Pavilion" restaurant was selling fake goods and allowing people to do immoral things on the third floor.
After finishing all this, Lianyi went to buy breakfast for everyone in the dormitory. After returning to the dormitory, she woke everyone up and urged them to wash up and eat. Before leaving, she also reminded them:
"Manage your expression and behave like normal."
The four of them then rubbed their faces, picked up their textbooks, and went out to attend class as usual.
When the five people arrived at the classroom, they found that Hu Xingbang had not arrived yet, so they sat in the first row as usual. Until the professor entered the classroom, they did not see Hu Xingbang. When the teacher called the roll, his roommate said that Hu Xingbang had taken two days off due to family matters.
The five of them looked at each other and understood each other's plan. Then they lowered their heads and looked at the textbooks in front of them, trying their best to conceal their expressions.
Hu Xingbang didn't come to class for the next three days, and his classmates thought that the class monitor had not yet dealt with his family affairs.
Lianyi happened to go to the contact point to pick up her developed photos, but unexpectedly ran into Zheng Ran.
"Laughing Buddha, why are you here? Do you have a mission?"
Ripple asked with a smile.
"Well, there is a mission, but I didn't expect you to have this habit."
Zheng Ran shook the photo in his hand, with a strange expression on his face.
Lianyi showed her little white teeth, explained the source of the photo, then reached out to take the photo and said:
"This is the amulet I managed to get for myself."
"I'll send the photos for you, and you keep the negatives."
Zheng Ran said with a frown.
"Thank you. If possible, it would be best if he doesn't have the ability to do bad things."
Lian Yi added another sentence.
"That's about right."
Zheng Ran said helplessly.
Lianyi frowned, then said with a sarcastic smile:
"If your daughter encountered such a thing, would you still say it so easily? It's almost enough! You should be glad that I am in the system now, otherwise I have plenty of ways to make him disappear without a trace."
Zheng Ran rubbed his forehead, knowing that Hu Xingbang had violated Lian Yi's taboo, but fortunately Lian Yi still remembered her identity and did not use any special means.
"I see. We'll take care of this. Don't get yourself involved."
Lianyi then smiled. She thought the organization should stand up and give her a sense of security at this time.
"What is the mission this time? When do we set off?"
"Once I've finished dealing with things here, I'll be ready to leave. I'll ask Jinzi to pick you up."
"What's your excuse this time?"
Ripple asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Research topic.”
After Zheng Ran finished speaking, he walked away holding the photo.
Lianyi then returned to school. After returning to the dormitory, she told the four people that the matter had been settled. They probably would never see Hu Xingbang again, which made them all feel relieved.
Lianyi went to see Cheng Lei alone again, gave him a few of the clearest photos, and told him that they could be used as leverage to restrain Hu Xingbang. She also asked someone else to send the photos to Hu's house, so that Cheng Lei would stay out of it as much as possible.
Cheng Lei glanced at the somewhat shocking photos and nodded, but he also knew that he could not stay out of it. After all, he was the only one who was fine. Everyone knew that there was a problem, but this was the only way for now. If he didn't want to bear it passively, he had to hold the handle in his hand tightly. At worst, both sides would die, and he didn't want to be controlled by others.
Two days later, no one saw Hu Xingbang. At the class meeting on the weekend, Teacher Zhou announced that Hu Xingbang had dropped out and returned to Luzhou due to family reasons and was unable to complete his studies. He asked everyone to elect a new class monitor.
Zhao Xinruo finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in her stomach for a long time and looked at her roommates happily. Everyone had been a little worried during this period, fearing that Hu Xingbang would retaliate against them. Now that he was gone, her worries were completely eliminated.
Finally, the boys elected a guy named Lu Mo as the class monitor, and the class meeting ended.
When everyone was leaving in twos and threes, a male classmate from Hu Xingbang's dormitory ran over and blocked Zhao Xinruo.
