Sister Chu Hongyu and Su Xueming had been in a relationship for so many years, exchanging countless letters, often containing words like "I miss you" and "I love you."
The poster contained cut-outs of two letters, and the handwriting suggested they were from two different people.
Chu Hongyu's wording was conservative, in a girlish tone, but Su Xueming's letter deliberately mentioned some overly private matters—
Phrases like "your slender waist is as white as jade" and "the red mole on your back is as delicate as a cherry blossom" are used to describe this.
“A normal person probably wouldn’t write it like that. He probably wanted to leave evidence from the beginning to control Chu Hongyu and her family.”
Rong Zhaonan looked at the letters that had been cut out and pasted onto the big-character posters, his eyes cold and brooding.
To go to such lengths to deal with a woman, trying to replace her with someone else, is truly despicable.
“This is still considered good. Nowadays, photos have to be developed at photo studios. Su Xueming doesn’t have the ability to own a darkroom for developing photos. Otherwise, if there were photos, Hongyu probably wouldn’t be able to stay in the country.” Ning Yuan rubbed her temples.
I'm not afraid of scumbags, I'm afraid of scumbags who are also high achievers.
To put it bluntly, Hongyu, an only child from a privileged background, is a perfect target for those who want to exploit those who have no descendants.
If parents spoil their daughters too much, these girls will only understand the value of womanhood after experiencing a major ordeal.
It's never about your husband, partner, or family, but about yourself.
Hongyu was blinded by the emotional value offered by the scumbag... she was not as clear-headed as Ding Lan, who had climbed up from the bottom and was a snob.
Because they haven't experienced hardship, they lack a proper understanding of life and the essence of human nature!
She left so much leverage in the man's hands!
At this point, the effect of the letter was similar to that of nude photos in the hands of a scumbag in later generations.
She and Rong Zhaonan had done everything together, and they were still husband and wife, yet she couldn't write this kind of thing. Character is revealed in the details.
“But…” A chilling light flashed in Ning Yuan’s eyes.
“Even if Hongyu made a mistake, she didn’t hurt anyone, so she shouldn’t be taken advantage of like this.”
Rong Zhaonan looked at the items and thought for a moment: "Don't you have someone you suspect in mind?"
"There is a range of suspicions, but the specific suspects have not yet been identified—Li Sidi was the only one who had contact with the Su family before."
"Among the student council members, only Lu Jingui recently had a conflict with Hongyu because of my brother's part-time job."
Ning Yuan didn't hesitate for long before analyzing the situation decisively.
Ning Yuan raised her head, looked at Rong Zhaonan with a determined gaze, and said, "Anan, I need your help."
"Hmm?" Rong Zhaonan raised an eyebrow slightly, signaling her to continue.
Ning Yuan pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "The first thing is to find a few people to keep an eye on things at school and see who is secretly putting up those posters. Since they've taken the money, they definitely won't do it just once, especially since they've seen that Sister Hongyu is still attending school normally and hasn't been affected. They'll definitely make another move."
She paused, then added, "Once we catch one, we can follow the trail and find the mastermind behind it all."
Rong Zhaonan frowned slightly, seemingly surprised: "Aren't you planning to let Chu Hongyu take a break from school for a while?"
He said in a deep voice, "It's best to communicate with the school first and handle this calmly. After all, public opinion can be a powerful force. If this kind of thing happened in the countryside, it could drive someone to jump into a river. Even in the city, it's definitely not a good thing."
Ning Yuan was silent for a moment, then turned her gaze to the window and said firmly, "If she chooses to run away now, her life will be over. She will be pointed at and talked about wherever she goes, and she may not even be able to get her diploma."
Rong Zhaonan pondered for a moment, then roughly understood what she meant, and asked, "And the second thing?"
A cold glint flashed in Ning Yuan's eyes, and her tone was icy: "The second thing, can you help me investigate someone's situation?"
After hearing her request, Rong Zhaonan nodded without hesitation and agreed: "No problem."
Seeing this, Ning Yuan immediately got up and put on her shoes, saying as she did so, "I'm going to find Sister Hongyu now. Anan, you should rest first!"
“I’ll go with you!” Rong Zhaonan said, standing up and taking her hand, his tone firm and leaving no room for refusal.
Ning Yuan looked at him, a warm feeling welling up in her heart, and gently nodded: "Okay!"
The two changed their shoes together and went downstairs.
Ning Yuan led Rong Zhaonan towards the dormitory building.
Ning Yuan overheard people whispering and gossiping all the way there—
"That Chu Hongyu, right... She brought her new boyfriend today! He saw the poster, cursed at her, and ran away!"
"I would also scold her. How could a young woman be so indecent and morally corrupt!"
Ning Yuan stopped in her tracks, her brows furrowing even more tightly. A new boyfriend?
Rong Zhaonan gently patted her shoulder: "Let's go, let's find Chu Hongyu first."
Before they had gone halfway, they saw Yan Yangyang looking around anxiously, followed by Jin Bianjiang and a group of law students.
Ning Yuan looked at Yan Yangyang and immediately called out, "Yangyang!"
When Yan Yangyang saw her, he was first stunned, then slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Oh my god, you're finally back! I was so worried when I couldn't find that spoiled brat!"
Ning Yuan frowned slightly: "Has Sister Hongyu gone home?"
Yan Yangyang shook her head seriously: "Impossible. We asked the gatekeeper and the students nearby. Wherever she went, her face was conspicuous. If she wanted to leave the school, someone would definitely have seen her!"
There were some things she didn't say. After this mess happened today, Chu Hongyu's spoiled brat status has become infamous throughout the school.
I'm afraid everyone knows him!
Ning Yuan took a deep breath: "Find someone first, whatever you do, make sure nothing bad happens!"
It wasn't that she looked down on Chu Hongyu's willpower, but rather that this was something that most girls couldn't handle.
Ning Yuan's words made Yan Yangyang, Jin Bianjiang, and the others feel a little uneasy.
Rong Zhaonan put his arm around Ning Yuan's shoulder and whispered to comfort her, "Don't worry, let's split up and search. The three of you are good friends. Think calmly, where is she most likely to go?"
Ning Yuan tried to calm herself down. Chu Hongyu was unfamiliar with the place and people. Where else could she go besides the school?
Suddenly, she remembered a place: "The grove of trees at school! Chu Hongyu and Su Xueming used to go there on dates. Let's go!"
After saying that, he pulled Rong Zhaonan and ran towards the small woods at school.
Yan Yangyang and Jin Bianjiang exchanged a glance and immediately followed. Jin Bianjiang hurriedly said, "Wait, grab the flashlight!"
A group of law students followed.
They are law students and won't judge right and wrong based on just one side of the story.
The grove was quiet, and no one could be seen except for the rustling of leaves in the wind. Ning Yuan and her group searched for people everywhere with flashlights.
"Sister Hongyu! Chu Hongyu?"
In the grove, many young couples were whispering sweet nothings to each other under the moonlight and reciting poetry in hushed tones.
A moment later, Yan Yangyang suddenly shouted, "There's something here! Ningning, come quick!"
Ning Yuan and Rong Zhaonan went over immediately, while the others continued searching.
Ning Yuan saw Yan Yangyang and Jin Bianjiang shining flashlights on a pile of broken photos on the ground.
Rong Zhaonan squatted down and looked around for a while, then nodded to Ning Yuan: "It seems that Chu Hongyu must have stayed here before."
"Sister Hongyu! Are you there?" Ning Yuan stood up and called out in a loud voice, which echoed in the empty woods.
