In the cramped space, even the other person's breathing was particularly obvious.

Shen Zhao raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Siming, "Which night did it happen?"

Lu Siming now realized that the girl in front of him was not as simple and pure as he imagined. She was even cunning inside, completely beyond his impression of her. But when he looked down at those eyes as pure as glass, he couldn't get angry with her in his heart. "You clearly know, if you don't say it, then I will remind you, was it you who let Fang Cheng into Yuan Hongwei's room?"

Shen Zhao smiled when he heard the question, "I made you endure it for so long, I'm sorry you did that. Fang Cheng walked in by himself."

She did not hide it. It was indeed Fang Cheng who walked in by himself, but he was knocked unconscious by her after entering. She only told half of the story, but the other half was also true.

"Where were you then?" Lu Siming continued to ask, pressing his body against hers, leaving her no way to escape.

Shen Zhao raised his head and met his scrutinizing gaze frankly, "Since you know, if you go in and find that the person lying inside is me, what will you do? Will you also question someone as harshly as you are now?"

"I……"

Lu Siming was speechless when asked. Such an action was indeed reckless on his part. Perhaps he was stimulated by the scene of her being with that gentleman that day, or perhaps he was stimulated by the warning from the "driver", but he just wanted to confirm that Shen Zhao was even a little bit like before. And now, obviously, the facts gave him a few loud slaps in the face. Shen Zhao was not the same person as before, and he had changed because of this incident. There had never been a moment like this that made him realize so deeply that everything was out of his control and would not change according to his will.

While he was stunned, Shen Zhao pushed away his shackles with both hands. Lu Siming staggered and fell to the ground, looking particularly embarrassed.

Shen Zhao didn't care what his mental state was. He was a child of destiny, born with the support of the Lu family. He was destined to be a different kind of person from her, and the setbacks he suffered at this time were not worth mentioning. She glanced at the boy on the ground indifferently, "I advise you to study hard instead of getting involved in these things. I heard that you are going to study abroad, so I wish you a bright future in advance."

She walked past him, and just as her hand touched the door handle, she heard Lu Siming's voice from behind, "If I can return after completing my studies, will you still be willing to look at me?"

Shen Zhao didn't turn around. She chuckled and said, "Lu Siming, there will be a lot of good things in the future. Why dwell on the past? I am just the most insignificant person among the people who have passed by. You will meet someone better."

After saying that, she turned the doorknob and walked out, looking at the sky covered with dark clouds. It was not a sunny day after all.

Because the vice principal and the grade director returned empty-handed, negative news about Deyan Middle School was overwhelming. At first, only Hualuan Newspaper reported it, but later, within a few days, several well-known newspapers also began to report negative news about Deyan Middle School. Some bloggers even dug up some old stories, which caused an uproar in H City, including the corridor suicide case that shocked the city.

In the past, students were proud to be admitted to Deyan Middle School. But now, when students from Deyan Middle School pass by other schools, students from other schools will look at them with contempt when they see the Deyan school emblem.

Like a rat crossing the street, everyone wants to beat him.

The two parties at the center of public opinion certainly did not get anything good, because as the college entrance examination was approaching, Yuan Hongwei was only required to be confined to his home for two weeks, but Fang Cheng's fate was even worse. Since Fang's father and his family did not agree to the request made by the director to their family before, they would be expelled from school. The school authorities did not want to be the good guys as they saw the bad public opinion environment. Now it was more important for them to preserve the reputation of the Xu and Lu families. Keeping Fang Cheng in the school was like a time bomb, which was the choice they made after careful consideration.

However, when they made this choice, they ignored whether Fang Cheng had any other leverage in his hand.

No one saw Fang Cheng after the graduation trip, and Xu Yaoyao avoided him as much as possible and did not return to school for a week. The heat of the online gossip died down, but it was the Xu family that was reported in the newspapers. The Xu family started out in real estate, and their past crimes such as illegal occupation of land and illegal financing were all on the hot search list. Coupled with the various behaviors of Xu Yaoyao in the school bullying classmates, a chain reaction was triggered for a while, and the Xu family was suddenly busy and overwhelmed.

The head of the Xu family was detained and interrogated, which was undoubtedly a further blow to the Xu family. Xu Yaoyao didn't even dare to go back to school. When the wall falls, everyone pushes you down. When you are in glory, everyone is willing to hold on to you and praise you. When you are down, not many people are willing to reach out to catch you. When you are falling, they can't wait to pour another basin of cold water on you. Xu Yaoyao is in this situation now, and her situation is not much better than Fang Cheng's.

Fang Cheng went through the transfer procedures smoothly, and soon a public middle school accepted him. However, the teaching resources of that middle school were not as good as those of Deyan, and the students there were extremely bad. If the students of Deyan all focused on studying and their goal was to get into a prestigious university, then the students of that school were not serious about their studies and their future personal development would depend entirely on luck.

Fang Cheng had been to Deyan and looked down on that middle school, but there was still one semester before the college entrance examination, and she would not make it hard on herself, at least there would provide her with a chance to take the college entrance examination. This incident was indeed her fault. She resented Yuan Hongwei, Shen Zhao, and Lu Siming, but among those people, she hated only Xu Yaoyao from beginning to end. If it weren't for Xu Yaoyao, she wouldn't have been stuck in such a situation now. Therefore, if she was not happy, Xu Yaoyao must also be sad. As for the others, if she had the chance, she would not forget to trip them up.

After she sent the last piece of negative information about Xu Yaoyao to the newspaper, she turned off her phone, put it in her pocket, and stood at the entrance of the middle school, unable to hide the disgust in her eyes.

Compared with the majestic and solemn school gate of Deyan, the gate of this middle school only has a simple security booth and an unnecessary gate. The large gap shows that the students here can enter and exit freely. Looking up, there is an object like an archway with a few big words "No. 13 Middle School of the City" on it. There is only a number, and it is not even worthy of a name.

She walked in with her transfer documents. It seemed that she had received the news in advance. Several young men with dyed hair and casual clothes were squatting at the entrance. When they saw Fang Cheng walk in, one or two even whistled, "Hey, is this the good girl from Deyan? Why is she so ugly? She's so damn ugly. So boring!"

"Yeah, I thought she was a pretty sister."

"It's my beautiful sister's turn to come to our school?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

There was a burst of laughter and gossip that made Fang Cheng blush. She knew that she was ordinary-looking, but that was no reason for them to belittle her!

She glared at them fiercely.

"Hey, this woman looks even more disgusting when she glares at people. I can't bear to watch it anymore. I'm afraid I'll go blind. You guys continue." A golden-haired man turned around and left.

Some others wanted to follow, and someone asked, "Do you know why she transferred here?"

One of them took out his phone and said, "Let me show you this. Her figure isn't that great. Deyan's boys have heavy tastes!"

The others grabbed the phone, and the screen showed a blurred picture. The protagonists were naturally Fang Cheng and Yuan Hongwei. There was another round of laughter. "If this woman was prettier, I would be interested in her. She looks like this, so what if she can be splashed? It's too disgusting!"

A few boys also agreed and had no interest in watching, so they just dispersed.

Fang Cheng was left with tear marks on her face. She tightly grasped the transfer application and couldn't breathe for a long time.

The events that happened after the graduation trip were more or less related to Deyan. Students in the school would discuss it from time to time. Xu Ke was no exception, of course. Her ambition had always been to be a journalist.

She opened the news page on her phone and handed it to Shen Zhao. "What do you think about this? Xu Yaoyao of the Xu family is afraid that her dream will be shattered. She has always wanted to be the wife of the heir of the Lu family."

Shen Zhao nodded. "According to the information that has been revealed about the Xu family, their chances of turning things around are slim. If Xu Yaoyao herself wasn't very capable, coupled with Lu Siming's strong demands (I mean the love-brained one), then she basically wouldn't be able to turn things around."

Ma Shuyi took over the conversation, "Besides, Xu Yaoyao hasn't returned to school yet. She used to want to apply to a foreign school with Lu Siming. Now that her family has fallen into poverty, I'm afraid they don't have the resources to support her to study abroad. She has to work harder for the domestic exams."

Shen Zhao tilted his head and looked at Ma Shuyi jokingly, "Xu Yaoyao's grades in the grade are not as good as mine, who often asks for leave. Do you think she can get into a good school?"

After the graduation trip, on the first day back to school, Deyan Middle School released the results of the mid-term exam for the senior class. Shen Zhao was like a dark horse and ranked in the top 50 in the class, higher than Xu Ke. She immediately distanced herself from Ma Shuyi. The students in the class also had a different impression of her. After all, grades represent a large part of a student's life.

What they didn't know was that Shen Zhao had deliberately modified her results. She could have gotten full marks, but she couldn't do that as it would be too conspicuous, so she deliberately made mistakes within a controllable range, and she did it so secretly that even the teacher thought she was making rapid progress and praised her for it.

As a result, the biggest benefit Shen Zhao could obtain was that she no longer had to stay in school for evening self-study, which gave her a lot of precious time.

**

On the first night after the evening self-study was cancelled, she left school early and took a taxi to the Computer City in H City. She walked through the neatly decorated shops and found the small shop that looked like it was about to go bankrupt. But when she got there, she found that Guan Qi's shop had been closed for the past few days. The rolling shutter door sank to the ground, with a cold light on it. At the top was a sign saying "Popular Shop for Rent", and below it was a row of mobile phone numbers.

Shen Zhao was a little surprised, but not surprised. It had been some time since "her" body was found. She could imagine how Guan Qi felt when faced with such bad news, but where had he gone?

She walked to the store next door and looked at the aunt who was bending her elbows on the glass counter and picking her teeth with a toothpick nonchalantly. "Hello, when did the store opened by the weirdo next door close?"

The aunt curled her lips, put down the toothpick in her hand, and said proudly, "Finally you asked the right person. I was annoyed with that person for a long time. It's good that he left. I don't have to see him anymore. He's been gone for about two weeks."

"How was he when he left?"

The aunt looked Shen Zhao up and down. "Little girl, I see you are pretty, but don't let a flower stick in cow dung. For so long, I have never seen any pretty girl come to him. You are one of them, so who are you to him?"

After hearing what the aunt said, Shen Zhao was not angry. Who said Guan Qi was weird? "I am one of his buyers. Recently, there was a problem with the system and I came to him for repair. He promised to give me a three-month warranty period, but now he is gone. I have to find out where he went."

The aunt nodded in agreement. "He probably transferred the money away. You should be able to judge people by their appearance. It's not good to do business like him. Next time, come to me to buy. We have all kinds of electronic equipment. I guarantee you will be satisfied. Besides, we old businessmen value integrity the most. We are not like those young people who only want to make a quick buck!"

"You mean, what was his condition like when he left? Do you know where he moved to?"

The aunt rolled her eyes, as if thinking, "I don't know where he moved to, but he looked quite dazed when he came back to pack his things. He was holding a wooden sign with nothing written on it. I remember calling him that day, but he ignored me. How rude!"

"I see. Thank you, Auntie. I'll come and buy it from you when I need it."

"Okay, I see you're pretty, so I'll give you a discount!"

"okay!"

After Shen Zhao left, she picked up her phone and entered a number into it. It was Guan Qi's phone and she didn't know if he had changed it. She wanted to press the call button with her thumb, but in the end she resisted the urge to call.

Around eight o'clock in the evening, she returned to school and walked out of the school, looking like she had just come out of school. The driver came to pick her up as promised and parked the car in front of the school gate.

"Miss Shen, are you worried today? You don't talk much." The driver teased. Shen Zhao has always been friendly to them and never puts on airs, so they would tell her everything.

"No, the results are out today. I did very badly. I'll need you to pick me up in the future." Shen Zhao smiled indifferently. The lie came out easily. She had to establish this image among all the people she hired, otherwise Mu Yanchen would definitely know that she did not return home after school.

But why did she care so much about what he thought?
