Chu Yinyin was secretly delighted, "Then my request..."
"Don't worry!" The other person's eyes were dark and unsettling, and his voice was low and reassuring: "When I return to Linghua, I will arrange for you and Xu Zhe to go abroad together as exchange students for half a year. You must seize the opportunity then so that you can easily win him over."
"But will Xu Zhe come with me?" Chu Yinyin still couldn't help but have some concerns.
The other party said with certainty, "Qin Yao is already dead. Xu Zhe must be heartbroken and unwilling to stay in this place of trouble. I will then put pressure on his family and make him willingly go with you."
"That bitch... why does Xu Zhe still have to worry about her even after she's dead?" Chu Yinyin clenched her fists in resentment.
"Don't make it so obvious. You killed Qin Yao. If you don't want to be suspected, you need to hide your true emotions." The other person comforted him in a tone of someone who had been through it all.
"I understand." Chu Yinyin nodded solemnly.
"From now on, don't come looking for me again, and don't reveal my identity to anyone. If either of us gets into trouble, the other will also go to jail. Do you understand what I mean?" The other person's tone turned cold, as if it were persuasion, but also a warning.
"I understand. Even if it means death, I won't reveal a single word. I swear!" Chu Yinyin solemnly raised four fingers.
The other person nodded in satisfaction, their eyes softening. "Alright, go back now!"
Chu Yinyin nodded, unable to contain her excitement.
Just as she turned around, a cold voice rang out in the night, "Trying to leave now? Too late!"
"!!!" Chu Yinyin stared wide-eyed in disbelief at Qin Yao's hazy, beautiful face bathed in moonlight, and for a moment wondered if she was having a nightmare.
"Are you... a human or a ghost?"
"If I were a vengeful ghost, I would be here to claim your life." Yi Tianran scoffed, her gaze turning coldly to the person beside Chu Yinyin. "Former Principal, how long are you going to hide?"
The former principal's pupils contracted sharply, his breath hitched, and a series of images flashed through his mind in a flash.
Finally, he seemed to suddenly understand the truth: "You were not drugged or bitten by a poisonous snake at all. It was all your scheme to lure me out."
"You're not too stupid!" Yi Tianran looked at him with satisfaction, which made the former principal so angry that he almost had a heart attack on the spot.
"I just don't understand why you've tried to kill me time and time again. I even saved your life once. Are you such an ungrateful wretch?" Yi Tianran asked with great interest.
The former principal's eyes widened in panic, and he quickly said, "What else could it be! If it weren't for your meddling, I wouldn't have been expelled from school, my wife would have divorced me, she would have taken my children and most of my assets. I ended up in this situation because of your meddling."
The next second, he swiftly pulled a pistol from his pocket, "I'll take your life..."
With a loud "bang".
The bullet pierced through his arm and embedded itself in his flesh.
"Aaaaaah—" A heart-wrenching scream rang out.
The former principal collapsed to his knees in agony, before he could even pull the trigger, when he was shot first and fell to the ground in a sorry state.
The gun slipped from his hand with a thud.
The well-trained police rushed out and, ignoring his pain, handcuffed his hands.
Seeing this, Chu Yinyin panicked completely. She instinctively tried to run away, but was quickly caught by the police.
"No... I was threatened! Let me go! This has nothing to do with me!" Chu Yinyin screamed hoarsely, "I didn't want to kill anyone! He forced me! I didn't do it! It was Xu Jiaying and Cheng Lu..."
Before she could finish speaking, Cheng Lu's voice suddenly rang out: "So Qin Yao was right, you really just wanted us to take the blame."
"You—" Seeing Cheng Lu walk step by step towards Qin Yao, Chu Yinyin's breath caught in her throat, her eyes widening like saucers. In an instant, she realized, "Cheng Lu, you betrayed me!!!"
That's right.
Her original plan was quite comprehensive.
However, an unexpected event occurred along the way.
One night, Yi Tianran deliberately dressed up as a ghost and sneaked into Cheng Lu's dormitory to scare her.
She was so frightened that she blurted out a lot of things, including their plot to poison her.
Yi Tianran decided to give her a chance and go along with the act so that she could catch up with the person behind Chu Yinyin.
“It’s me.” Cheng Lu lowered her eyes and said with a pained expression, “No matter how bad I am in my life, I have never thought of taking anyone’s life! It was you who kept forcing me and threatening me. I didn’t dare to do it anymore… I admit defeat. Fortunately, I woke up in time and saw your true colors. You never really considered us as friends. Instead, you thought that if things went wrong, you would make me and Xu Jiaying share the criminal responsibility for you.”
Chu Yinyin was so angry that she cursed loudly, spitting as she spoke: "You bitch, how dare you betray me? Have you forgotten what we did back then? Do you think you'll be happy if I'm not doing well?"
Unexpectedly, Cheng Lu was very honest: "I have confessed. Back then, because Su Mo was cowardly and didn't get along with others, we ganged up on her and even pushed her into the water. Later, Xu Zhe saved her, and from then on, Su Mo fell head over heels in love with Xu Zhe and clung to him like crazy. You became even more jealous and often took her to the toilet to teach her a lesson."
On one occasion, they even made us prepare cameras in advance, then stripped her clothes off and took nude photos of her as leverage, threatening to send them to Xu Zhe, which made her extremely grief-stricken.
You believed she committed suicide because she couldn't bear the torture, so you ordered everyone not to mention Su Mo.
She recounted the events without any concealment, saying, "I've burned the nude photos, and I've confessed to my crimes. Even if it means going to jail, I have no more secrets. I'm free."
A tear rolled down her cheek; it was unclear whether it was from sadness and guilt, or from relief.
Chu Yinyin's breathing became rapid; she never expected that she would be betrayed by her own people in the end.
But now everything is over.
"No... I want to see Xu Zhe, I want to see him." Even at the very last moment, she was still thinking about Xu Zhe.
Yi Tianran shrugged and said with a half-smile, "What a pity! Xu Zhe said he doesn't want to see your ugly face. Even if you go to jail, or even if you are executed, he won't want to see you when the grass on your grave grows three feet high, so as not to offend his eyes."
"You're talking nonsense!!!" Chu Yinyin roared hoarsely, the veins on her neck bulging, a sign of extreme anger, but no matter how desperate she was, it was all in vain.
