Wiping Meng Jinyang’s case had taken a lot of effort. She had even destroyed all the newspapers on the streets. Now, because of what the Ruans did, it forced Meng Jinyang to relive her past.
It would be hard to conceal the truth now that more than two thousand parents knew about it. Who could guarantee they would not speak about it in the future even if they could be kept quiet now?
Year Three would last a year. Starting from today, Meng Jinyang’s peaceful life was gone and rumors would increase. Gu Mang’s hard work over the years had been wasted!
F*ck! What a headache!
Lin Shuang had a bad temper and wanted to bomb the Ruans’ company building.
Gu Mang brought a cigarette to her pretty lips, looking like a raw gangster as she sparked the lighter. “There’s no need. The Ruans won’t let Gu Yin off like this.”
Lin Shuang laughed, “You’re right. Ruan Qingqing, as someone who can find private detectives and hackers herself, isn’t someone to mess with.”
Gu Mang took a puff without breathing into her lungs, blew the smoke out, and said, “The legend of the Sleeping Jade is true.”
Lin Shuang raised her eyebrows in surprise. “You found someone to test it on?”
“Yeah.” Gu Mang flicked the cigarette’s ash. “There are no side effects. I have put it on Jinyang. She slept well tonight.”
It was two o’clock and she hadn’t woken up from a nightmare.
Lin Shuang sighed a breath of relief.
In the past few years, Gu Mang had spent an excessive amount to invest in research on the treatment of mental illnesses, but she hadn’t made much progress. Now that she had gotten the Sleeping Jade unexpectedly, which solved Meng Jinyang’s problem, Gu Mang could relax a little.
“If that’s the case, do we still continue investing money on research?” she asked.
Gu Mang nodded. “Continue doing it. Help me to find out where the Sleeping Jade is produced. I only have one of them. I don’t want to use it for research.”
“Okay.”
After closing Lin Shuang’s video call, Gu Mang finished smoking the cigarette in her hand, got up, and went back to the room to sleep.
…
Monday.
When Gu Mang appeared in school, all the Year Three students were shocked.
“What’s the meaning of this? Gu Mang wasn’t expelled? What was the school thinking?”
“Was there a misunderstanding? Could it have been a photoshopped image? A five year old beating someone to half-paralysis? A real life kung fu kid? It’s too ridiculous.”
“I was still learning how to use chopsticks when I was five years old. You’re telling me a five year old girl beat someone to half-paralysis? Don’t ask. If you have to ask, it means you don’t believe it.”
“I still believe that the school allowed Gu Mang to stay as a result of careful consideration. Gu Mang isn’t like that kind of troublemaker.”
“But it seemed to be from pretty long ago. It didn’t look fake. Ms. Luo also mentioned how Gu Mang was expelled from her former school.”
Those who believed in Gu Mang began to waver again.
Lu Yi had just entered Class One carrying her schoolbag when she heard all the students who typically would only be busy with their schoolwork come together to discuss this matter.
Her expression turned cold. She caught a glimpse of Luo Songhua walking towards Class One from a distance through the corner of her eyes, and she said mildly, “Stop talking, the form teacher is here.”
Hearing this, they all panicked as they went back to their seats, grabbed their Chinese textbooks, and reading aloud, pretending to be serious with their work.
Gu Yin accidentally exchanged looks with Lu Yi. Lu Yi curled her lips and looked away disdainfully. Gu Yin pursed her lips slightly.
When the morning reading was about to end, Ruan Qingqing appeared at the door of Class One. Everyone thought that she was just late for class.
It wasn’t until Ruan Qingqing packed all her belongings on the table into her schoolbag and slung the bag onto her back that all the eyes in class turned to her.
The girl wasn’t in a good mood. She had dark eye bags and her lips were pale.
Ruan Qingqing walked out of the classroom carrying her schoolbag. When she passed by Gu Yin, she paused, her eyes filled with hatred, and her fists clenched.
“Bam!”
