parations. I just didn't expect you to give me a surprise."A network of wrinkles etched across Lao Dan's face, and a cryptic smile played upon his lips, indicating that he hadn't come unarmed."Is that...What else did Teacher Zhou say

Li Xingyue also asked.

"Mr. Zhou said this was the most bizarre thing he'd encountered in his teaching career, because it involved the personal actions of the two individuals, and Wu Liang wasn't even a student at our school. So, the matter was left to be handled by the parents."

The two people paid their fines and were taken away by their respective parents. They wouldn't be able to go to school anyway, and the families are bound to have a huge fight about this. After all, it's not something they'd want publicized.

"Now that this menace is gone, we can finally rest easy. We no longer have to live in fear of him seeking revenge."

"Qian Luxi also let out a sigh of relief."

"Luckily that female teacher was quite gossipy and asked pretty detailed questions, so I heard everything. To avoid alarming the teacher, I didn't even hand in my homework and dashed back to the dorm."

Zhao Xiner spoke in a low voice.

Everyone heard the firsthand gossip, satisfied while also feeling relieved. After all, the bad guy got what they deserved, which is exactly what they wanted to see.

"Alright, everyone knows the ins and outs now. From here on, this matter stays between us. None of us can tell anyone, not even our parents."

If your heart is set on it, consider yourself unlucky. Think of it as encountering an unsuitable person, and learn a lesson from this. Don't spread what I just said carelessly, lest trouble find you later.

Let's not talk about this in the dorm anymore. After all, it's a public dorm with lots of people. Be careful because walls have ears, and if someone hears us, they might come after us.

Ripple whispered.

"We know, we're not stupid, we won't look for trouble."

"Rest assured, I've already been blindsided once and learned my lesson. I won't fall for the same trick again. Next time, there might not be anyone to save me."

If Zhao Xinru really learned her lesson, she herself couldn't have imagined that simply dating someone would almost get an entire dormitory of classmates in trouble. If things had actually happened, she wouldn't want to live either.

Five girls are safe for now, but Cheng Lei was targeted by the Hu family. After all, he was present at the time when the other two people had an accident, while he remained unharmed. This doesn't seem right at all.

Cheng Lei looked at the people sent by the Hu family, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, but he still responded calmly.

"Back then, everyone had had too much to drink. I only remember being helped back to the room by Xiaoliang and XINGBANG to sober up. When I woke up, I was alone in the room. I looked at the time and was about to call everyone to go back to school."

After I knocked on each door, the several girls came out from two different rooms, but neither Xiao Liang nor Xing Bang were there. I couldn't find them, so I decided to send the girls home first. It would be too late later.

The next day, before I could find Xiao Liang and Xingbang, I discovered two photos in my textbook...

Cheng Lei paused here, still with a look of difficulty expressing himself. The people from the Hu family were getting impatient and said:

"What photo Just say it directly, don't be so hesitant."

"Oh! I can't bring myself to say it, you better see for yourselves!"

Cheng Lei frowned, wearing an expression of difficulty accepting it. He flipped out his own book and handed it directly to the person opposite him, as if he didn't even want to touch the photograph.

I respect Xingbang and Xiaoliang's choice, but my path is different from theirs. Although I don't know who put the photo in my book, I think it was a hint for me not to interfere with their relationship. So I haven't contacted them since then.

I'm telling the truth, I haven't told anyone about this, you can take the photos, except no one else has seen them.

Cheng Lei gave the impression of being uninvolved, as if he wanted nothing to do with the trouble. This left the Hu family feeling helpless, because the photo was truly awful to look at. However, the faces of the two people in it were too clear. Even if they wanted to feign ignorance, they couldn't.

Seeing that they couldn't get any information from Cheng Lei, the Hu family members took their photos and left dejectedly.

Cheng Lei looked at the somewhat embarrassed figures of the Hu family members, snorted coldly before returning to his dormitory. He probably wouldn't have any more interactions with them in the future. As long as those two dared to approach him, he would stare at them with a gaze that looked like they were perverts, and see if they really were so shameless.

Hu Jia searched around but found nothing. The two of them had taken their own medicine and messed around, resulting in being caught by the police on the spot. Wu Liang almost got beaten to death by his family, and Hu Xingbang could only live with a ** bag from then on, you can imagine how miserable he was.

Both families knew their sons weren't into that kind of thing, but the drugs were theirs. Anyone could see they intended to harm other girls, yet someone exposed them. In the end, they ended up turning on themselves and became the victims.

As for Cheng Lei's suspicion, after the other party presented those photos, Hu Jia also found it difficult to pursue further. After all, from Hu Xingbang's words, Cheng Lei was also a victim of framing by their good son, just that he wasn't successful in the end.

Things can only be found out here for now. The Hu family is currently worried about their son's health, and with no leads, they are putting this matter aside for the time being.

But LianYi knew this wasn't over. Hu Xingbang definitely wouldn't swallow this loss silently. Right now, he lacked both the ability and energy. Once he recovered, he would surely come for her again. But this time, she wouldn't show him any mercy.

Half a month later, Teacher Zhou told everyone some good news. There was a research project in the army that involved their field of expertise. He had secured two spots for the class, which were given to the top two students from the first half of the semester's exams.

And the ripple effect happens to be in second place, while the first place goes to the newly appointed class monitor Lu Mo. He was able to replace Hu Xingbang's position because of his excellent grades, while Hu Xingbang's grades were always at the bottom of the class.

After Teacher Zhou announced the list, everyone agreed without any dispute. After all, it was based on merit. If you had good grades, you got in. Everyone agreed on this point.

Ripple knew this was her mission, so she packed up simply and got into the military vehicle that came to pick them up.

After arriving, Lian Yi and Lu Mo were separated by different people. They encouraged each other and then parted ways.

The ripples were sent up on a helicopter, and waiting for her on the plane was Jin Yuanqing.

"What a big production"

After the ripples subsided, she put on her noise-canceling headphones and asked those around her.

"Time is tight, I don't want to waste it on the road. Get ready, you'll receive your mission when we get there."

Jin Yuanqing said solemnly.

Ripples made an "OK" hand gesture and began to meditate with closed eyes after the plane took off.

After the plane landed, Zheng Ran drove to pick up the two of them. The car drove along winding mountain roads and it took over an hour to reach their destination.

Lin Ri got out of the car and stretched, breathing in the humid, mossy scent unique to the forest. Then she looked at Zheng Ran:

"Leader, what mission is so mysterious"

"Put on your makeup first, and I'll explain it to you."

Zhengran looked at his watch, pointed to a green tent and said to Lianyi,

The ripples flowed like water from righteousness, and once inside the tent, she saw a simple table with a mirror on it. All of her usual makeup was laid out on the table.

Zheng Ran handed over a photo and said:

"Thousand Faces, this is your target for this assignment."rest, and you can start the new task after you're rested."The ripples nodded and then vanished before the stone mill, returning to their own space.When she opened her eyes again, the sensation was of...
