Ultimately, Chu Yinyin was taken away on charges of murder, while Xu Jiaying and Cheng Lu, as accomplices, were also arrested.
Although it was an attempted murder, their acts of bullying others, taking nude photos, and repeatedly harming people are too numerous to list.
With the Fu family exerting pressure behind the scenes, Chu Yinyin was ultimately sentenced to a full twenty years, Xu Jiaying to five years and six months, and Cheng Lu, due to her surrender and repentance and cooperation with the police in catching the criminals, was ultimately sentenced to three years and two months.
But that's a story for another time.
Currently, looking at the former principal who was handcuffed and rolling around on the ground in pain, Yi Tianran slowly walked over, leaned down and whispered in his ear: "Tell me, who told you to treat me like this?"
Despite being in excruciating pain, covered in cold sweat, and pale-faced, the former principal mustered his last strength and insisted, "No one else did it, it was all my doing! Who told you to be so hateful and cause me so much suffering? Of course I have to take revenge."
Yi Tianran sneered, not believing he had such ability.
Putting everything else aside, every time he did something wrong, the school's surveillance system would malfunction, and there would be signal jamming... These kinds of details are things that a former principal who was dismissed could do.
Someone must have delegated power to him behind the scenes, using him to harm him.
Yi Tianran's lowered voice was like a devil's whisper: "What benefits did that person give you? Let me guess, is it that as long as you get rid of me, you can be reinstated and regain power..."
The former principal's pupils contracted sharply, and he desperately tried to cover it up, saying, "I don't know what nonsense you're spouting..."
Yi Tianran persisted, continuing to speculate: "You won't say, is it because that person has something on you? Let me think, it's the safety of our children!"
The former principal's breath hitched, and the shock in his eyes spoke volumes.
Yi Tianran smiled with satisfaction, her expression playful. "Even if you don't tell me, I will find out the truth. The more that person tries to stop me from investigating the reason for Su Mo's suicide, the bigger the secret behind it will be."
The more this happens, the more it fuels her competitive spirit.
...
The matter was temporarily put to rest, but Xu Zhe couldn't relax. "Can you please stop investigating? It's very dangerous to continue like this. The people behind this won't let it go."
Yi Tianran paused, then smiled and said, "The more dangerous it is, the more challenging it is!"
Xu Zhe's face darkened, and he said sternly, "This is a matter of life and death; it's not something to joke about."
Yi Tianran also suppressed her smile, "I was never joking. I have an obligation to reveal the truth."
This is the essential difference between Xu Zhe and Fu Yunchen.
One side wants to prevent her from investigating the truth in order to protect herself, even if it is irresponsible to an innocent girl.
Fu Yunchen knew what she wanted, and despite his worries, he never stopped her from soaring.
Thinking of this, she paused slightly, suddenly longing to see Fu Yunchen.
This longing came so suddenly that it caught her completely off guard.
"Don't worry about me," she said hastily before leaving.
Xu Zhe followed her retreating figure with complicated emotions, feeling as if she was getting further and further away from him.
It felt like a piece of my heart had been hollowed out, leaving me feeling uncomfortable and suffocated.
...
Before we knew it, it was the weekend.
Yi Tianran accompanied Liu Meiling to the blind date location as promised.
She chose a seat at the next table, intending to observe first. If it was truly a good match, she wouldn't need to break up their relationship.
If that doesn't work, she'll wait for Liu Meiling to ask her for help, and then she'll come to help resolve the aftermath.
The agreed time was 2 PM.
As a result, they waited and waited until 2:30 before the other party finally arrived.
The person who came was wearing a suit and looked to be in his thirties. He wasn't particularly outstanding in appearance, but he wasn't bad-looking either. However, his height seemed... well, I don't even know if he was 1.7 meters tall.
Tsk!
She wasn't particularly good-looking to begin with, and being short ruined everything.
She wanted to go up and take Liu Meiling away, but Liu Meiling shook her head at her.
It's so impolite to leave right after meeting someone.
"Something came up on the way, I hope you're not late!" The man smelled faintly of alcohol, and when he saw Liu Meiling's face, his eyes lit up with a distinct fervor.
"Oh! So you're the niece that Aunt Liu introduced! I thought she was just exaggerating your beauty to try and marry into a better family, but I didn't expect you to actually be quite pretty!" He spoke in a lewd tone, and as he walked unsteadily to her, he sat down right next to her.
The unpleasant smell of alcohol hit her nose, and Liu Meiling looked uncomfortable: "Mr. Peng, your seat is across from me."
“Since we’re here for a blind date, we should get to know each other better.” Mr. Peng didn’t back down at all, his lecherous gaze sweeping over her proud chest, and he unconsciously swallowed.
Then she continued rambling on, "Miss Liu, I don't have high demands. My father owns a listed company, and my mother is a full-time housewife who takes care of me very hard. I hope that after you marry into the family, you will take good care of my mother and not have any unpleasantness with her. What I hate most is dealing with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships. Only incompetent shrewish women cause so much trouble."
However, my mother is not an unreasonable person. Now that the country has relaxed the three-child policy, as long as you marry into our family and give us two sons and one daughter, that will make the old lady happy.
As for your husband, I will definitely cherish and pamper you. As long as you don't covet my assets and sign a prenuptial agreement relinquishing your share of the property, I guarantee I'll give you 100,000 yuan every month to spend. With my careful nurturing, I'll surely cultivate you into the most beautiful flower..."
As he spoke, he felt a sudden urge, and his hand couldn't help but reach under the chair to touch her fair and delicate thighs...
"You—" Liu Meiling's cheeks flushed red, but she hadn't even had a chance to get angry.
The next second, a bucket of cold water was poured over Mr. Peng's head, chilling him to the bone.
"You can cut off the claws if you don't want them." Yi Tianran placed the water glass on the table with one hand, looking down at him with a mocking expression. "Mr. Peng, why don't you take a ruler and measure yourself? You're so short and ugly, you look like you have kidney deficiency from a young age. How dare you drool over beautiful women!"
You expect her to serve your elderly mother and bear you three children? Who knows what kind of deformed offspring she'd have with someone like you! Please, have some self-awareness, okay?
"You dare to splash water on me?" Mr. Peng slammed his hand on the table, stood up angrily, his hair bouncing as he sat up. "Where did this brat come from? I think you're asking for it!"
It immediately attracted many pairs of eyes in the restaurant.
Liu Meiling immediately stood up, tugged at his sleeve, and whispered, "Mr. Peng, this is in front of a large audience. Why are you making a fuss about this young lady?"
