"Just now, Dachuner from the next-door dormitory told me that someone had framed you. There was negative information about you posted on the bulletin board, saying that you were an imposter in college, and also saying... and also saying..."
Xu Lili's face turned pale instantly, and her body was shaky. She subconsciously asked: "What else did you say?"
The things written on the notice were very detailed. Xu Shuyun had known Xu Lili since childhood. They were elementary school classmates, but at that time her name was not Xu Lili, but Xu Chunfeng.
After they met again in college, Xu Shuyun asked her curiously why she changed her name. What did Lily tell her at the time? Oh, Lily said that the name Chunfeng sounded too rustic, so she changed her name to Lily when she went to the countryside.
As a result, a shocking revelation had just occurred. Xu Shuyun observed Xu Lili's expression, observing shock, fear, and worry, but not anger. This immediately gave her a bad feeling. This wasn't the normal reaction to being wronged. Perhaps what was said on the notice was true.
Thinking of this, she picked up the lunch box and pulled Xu Lili: "Let's go, take it back and eat, and by the way, go see who spread the rumor."
There are already vague gazes coming from all around. If I stay here, I will probably be pointed at and stared at. It’s better to leave first.
The three of them supported each other as they walked out of the cafeteria. There was still a large group of people gathered in front of the bulletin board at the door. Xu Shuyun was better than Wang Panpan, and she treated Xu Lili with some sincerity. She squeezed to the bulletin board and looked up. It was exactly the same as what Dachuner said.
She ripped the notice off and turned to the gathered students, sternly warning them, "Are you all bored and have nothing better to do? The Number Gang has been crushed for years, and you're still trying to pull the same tactic you used to? Don't let me know who's behind this rumor, or I'll report it to the Academic Affairs Office and have the school take serious action."
As she walked out, the crowd made way for her. She crumpled the large notice paper in her hand and said to the startled Xu Lili and Wang Panpan, "Let's go back first."
The three of them left quickly, and the crowd behind them soon erupted in even more heated discussions:
"Hey, is there anyone from the Chinese department here? Was that Xu Lili who just tore up the notice? She's quite the pusher."
"I know, I know. The one just now wasn't Xu Lili. The one walking in the middle was. But they're from the same dormitory and have a good relationship."
"Do you think what's written there is true? Was this college student stolen? Did her family kill someone?"
"No way? Can you steal this?"
"I don't know if they stole anything, but murder is an exaggeration. If they really did kill someone, the police would have arrested them long ago. I heard that Xu Lili's parents and grandfather are all leading cadres in large units. They can't break the law knowingly."
......
After returning to the dormitory, Xu Lili opened the notice and read it several times. Then, without even eating, she said to Xu Shuyun, "Shuyun, I have to go home. Please ask for leave for me this afternoon. Just say I have a stomachache."
Xu Shuyun held Xu Lili's hand with a worried look on her face and said, "This matter needs to be handled by your uncle and aunt. Lili, don't worry. The person who spread the rumor will definitely be caught."
Wang Panpan also said: "Yes, yes, don't worry, we don't believe what it says."
Xu Lili left in a hurry, feeling terrified all the way. Who leaked the news?
When she got home, she saw that her parents were not at home. Well, today was a weekday and they were both at work. After thinking about it, she picked up the phone and called her mother first.
"Hello, I'm looking for Zhang Aidang."
"I'm her daughter, and I'm looking for her urgently."
"What? She didn't come to work today?"
"Okay, I got it. Bye."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Lili felt even more uneasy, so she called her father's office again.
When they heard that she was Xu Tianfang's daughter, they asked her where she was. When they learned that she was at home, they asked her to stay where she was and not move.
Xu Lili had a hunch that something was wrong, but the call was quickly disconnected. She had no choice but to give it some thought and call her aunt's office. But she wasn't there either.
She couldn't contact any of her pillars of support. Her grandfather lived in a retirement home after retirement. Her parents told them not to disturb him, and it would be better if he didn't know about what she was experiencing.
After much deliberation, she decided to go to her father's workplace. The notice had caused a very bad impact in the school. Her father was the most capable and would definitely be able to help her restore public opinion.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he was confronted by several policemen.
"Are you Xu Chunfeng?" asked the older policeman.
"I...I am. What can I do for you?" Xu Lili took a step back and asked in a panic.
The police officer flashed his work ID and a piece of paper. "This is a search warrant. We've received a tip-off from the public and have sufficient evidence to prove that your father, Xu Tianfang, and your mother, Zhang Aidang, have committed serious dereliction of duty, violations of discipline, and corruption. We are now conducting a search of your home in accordance with the law. Please cooperate with us."
After saying that, several people filed in, and the young policeman who stayed at the end watched her closely.
"This...this is impossible! This must be a slander!" Xu Lili trembled all over, feeling as if the sky was falling. The police searched the Xu family home for less than an hour, but she felt like a century had passed.
Finally, as they were about to leave with their belongings, the older police officer said to her, "Comrade Xu Chunfeng, we are now going to seal off your home according to the law. Once the seal is affixed, no one is allowed to remove it or enter. You...should return to school first."
Xu Lili gave him a blank look and said, "I can't walk anymore. I'll sit for a while."
