Zhang Dan had already bribed Yan Ling's classmate to keep her informed of the person's whereabouts. This afternoon, after receiving news that Yan Ling had skipped class, she asked the teacher for leave and planned to go to the school gate to catch him.
She watched as Yanling climbed over the wall, preparing to call for help as soon as he landed. But the moment she saw Yanling jump down from the wall, she rushed forward and covered a woman's mouth.
Zhang Dan stood behind the fence and couldn't hear what they were saying. After a while, she saw the woman grab Yan Ling's clothes, preventing him from leaving. The two whispered a few words and then walked into a snack shop near the school.
Zhang Dan quietly followed them, entered the snack shop through the back door, and then crawled into a nearby cubicle to eavesdrop on their conversation.
When the woman mentioned Jiang Xin, Zhang Dan took out her phone to record the conversation and also took a picture of the two of them.
After the two people left, she crawled out from under the table and asked the waiter to get her some food.
The woman said she was a college student, but would a college student be so stupid? She didn't even know Yanling, yet she wanted him to do her a favor. Her thought process was truly incomprehensible.
Zhang Dan looked at the photos in the album with amusement, pondering what reward she should ask her parents for this time.
When she first transferred to this school, her parents mentioned Jiang Xin's name to her and specifically told her not to cause trouble for Jiang Xin, as the Ye family was not someone their social class could afford to offend.
Zhang Dan is very smart. Although she is mischievous by nature, she can tell who she can bully and who she can't mess with. She still needs her parents to support her, so she can't let them get into trouble that she can't handle.
If she gave the evidence on her phone to her parents, they could use it to curry favor with the Ye family. She knew very well that the reason she was able to get away unscathed after doing bad things was thanks to her parents. At that time, her parents' business would reach new heights, and she would be able to live even more freely.

Yan Ling made a solemn promise to He Wan that he would persuade Jiang Xin to wait for his good news.
When He Wan and Yan Ling exchanged phone numbers, he said that his phone had been stolen, and it was very inconvenient to communicate without a phone. He Wan had no choice but to reluctantly take him to buy a new phone.
Yanling pointed to the latest iPhone without any hesitation: "I want that one."
He Wan's pupils dilated in shock. This person really dared to ask for such an exorbitant price. He didn't hesitate to spend several thousand yuan on something that cost him nothing. He himself had never used anything that expensive!
Realizing that He Wan was unwilling to buy him such an expensive phone, Yan Ling didn't bother arguing with her and turned to leave. She had come to him asking for a favor; why should he help her if he didn't show some sincerity?
Seeing that Yanling was about to leave the mobile phone store, He Wan could only say to the owner with heartache, "I'll take this one."
Hearing the voice behind him, Yan Ling paused, then slowly walked towards the door. He knew this woman would definitely compromise; the eagerness in her eyes was too obvious when the Ye family was mentioned. Why not take advantage of such a free gift?
Once he gets back, all he needs to do is pass on a message to Jiang Xin. Whether she agrees or not is her business. Regardless of whether Jiang Xin helps or not, he won't lose anything and will even get a free phone. This deal is a sure win.
He Wan was unaware of his thoughts. Reluctantly, she handed the phone to Yan Ling, saying, "You must put in a good word for me in front of her and make sure she helps me."
"Okay, I'll tell her. I'll call you when I have news. Don't worry, you can't rush things. These things are all about mutual consent. We need to make her willingly speak well of you."
After promising He Wan a rosy picture, Yan Ling took his new phone and got a SIM card. He then happily returned to school to find Jiang Xin.
As soon as he approached the classroom of Class 3, the students inside stopped what they were doing and looked at him warily, fearing that this person might harm the class monitor.
Yan Ling chuckled at their serious demeanor and called out to Jiang Xin, "Someone claiming to be your brother's girlfriend just came to see me and asked me to pass on a message to you."
Her brother's girlfriend, that He Wan? What's she doing here? When did she get involved with Yan Ling?
Jiang Xin walked out of the classroom and stood in the corridor, asking him, "He Wan? What does she want with me?"
"Oh, she said your mother looks down on her because she came from a small town and ordered your brother to break up with her. So, she wants to come to you through me so you can put in a good word for her with your mother."
Jiang Xin looked at him suspiciously, her mind racing. Yan Ling spoke very clearly, but why couldn't she understand?
Why is He Wan contacting me through Yan Ling? When did they meet? And if she wants my help, shouldn't she come directly to me?
Why did Yanling relay the message to him?
Does she think she and Yanling have a close relationship?
"Okay, I understand."
Jiang Xin didn't want to say more to Yan Ling and turned to leave.
"Jiang Xin, don't you think your mother is going too far?"
"Yanling, my mother is an elder, and besides, it's none of your business to judge my family's affairs. Mind your own business!"
“Your brother is already in college, and he still has to put up with your mother’s attitude if he wants to have a girlfriend. Don’t you think this kind of family is very oppressive and suffocating? Do you want to end up like your brother, without freedom, and become your mother’s puppet?”
Jiang Xin was angry. What did her family's affairs have to do with him? Besides, her mother was not at all like what he said. This He Wan was actually ruining her mother's reputation everywhere!
"I'll say it again, my family's affairs are none of your business. If you dare say another bad word about my mother, you'll regret it!"
