Rong Ling immediately put down his work to find Lin Meng already tucked in bed. Xiao Yi sat beside her, watching her with concern, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.Xiao Yi came by himself....Chapter Name: 064
This new day, however, has become turbulent and unpredictable because of Xiao Yi's arrival.
Jiang Po Lang, according to his usual time, went to pick up Lin Meng. However, his face didn't look good. When Lin Zi asked with concern, Jiang Po Lang simply ignored her and just looked at Lin Meng. There was a hint of deep thought in his eyes, and he moved his lips several times, but he seemed hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong!"
Lin Meng smiled. She was a sensitive girl, too, and noticed something off about Jiang Po's mood. Her smile today was different from last night's; last night's had been forced, but this one held a hint of release. Because Xiao Yi said he'd taken care of everything. She felt she should trust him and looked forward to going back to school, where things would hopefully be the same as always - quiet, with no whispers and speculation.
Jiang Po-lang's face was a bit pale, and he shook his head. He felt that it would be better not to tell Lin Meng about this kind of thing, after all, the topic was a bit too dark.
Wu Shengnan didn't return home all night!
Wu Yong didn't initially take it to heart. When he walked out of Principal Chen's office and returned home, he found Wu Shengnan still hadn't come back, so he got angry. He tried calling her, but couldn't get through. Only then did he learn from his wife that the expensive phone he had just bought for his daughter had been crushed into pieces. This was something Wu Yong didn't know!
Wu Yonggui was busy with work, spending his days in the office and attending social events. He hardly ever went home. He didn't pay much attention to his daughter's affairs either, just hoping not to cause too much trouble.Most of Wu Shengnan's matters were handled by her wife, Wu Qi. Wu Qi was already thirty-four years old when she gave birth to Wu Shengnan, well past the ideal age for childbirth. During Wu Shengnan's delivery, she suffered a severe hemorrhage and almost died on the operating table. Although she was eventually rescued, doctors informed her that she would be unable to have any more children. Luckily, most families nowadays only had one child. Since they already had a daughter, there wasn't much regret.
As for this only daughter, Wu's wife doted on her dearly, truly raising her like a precious jewel. Coupled with their comfortable family background and wealth and influence, it naturally fostered Wu Shengnan's self-centered personality. When doing things, she often didn't consider the consequences too much. Wu Yong and Wu's wife both thought that children being playful and mischievous was normal. The couple named Wu Shengnan with the intention of raising her both as a girl and a boy. Wu Shengnan was lively and this was also the hope of this couple.
Wu Shengnan's trouble with Lin Meng, she didn't want to tell her family about it, thinking she could handle it herself just like she used to bully others. Unexpectedly, she damaged a phone in the process. That phone was something she begged her father for a long time before he agreed to buy it. The broken phone was difficult to explain, so she had to confide in her mother. She didn't hide anything too much and roughly explained what happened. Wu's wife felt that her daughter had done something wrong. A girl using her phone to take nude photos of other girls and blackmail them wasn't the style of a policeman's family. So, she scolded Wu Shengnan a few times, and considering her husband Wu Yong's hot temper, she knew this matter would likely result in him scolding their daughter, so she decided not to tell Wu Yong about it!
It's impossible to keep it hidden anymore!
Upon hearing this whole story, Wu Yong was instantly furious.
"You bitch, why didn't you tell me this sooner!"
If Wu Yong gets furious, he tends to get violent and insult his wife with vulgar language.
When his wife heard this, she frowned in displeasure. “It's just children playing around, it's not a big deal!” She still insisted on defending and making excuses for her daughter!
Wu Yongqi's anger surged again, but seeing his wife's old face, he managed to hold back. He plopped down on the sofa, feeling utterly dejected. The more he thought about it, the more agitated he became. He lit a cigarette and started puffing away.
Last night, he went to find Principal Chen, but unexpectedly received a new message. Apart from him, someone else had also contacted Principal Chen about Lin Meng's matter. Although Wu Yong was the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, his position was quite high, but Principal Chen was also the principal of No. 4 Middle School, the secretary of the Party branch, and still held a position in the Education Bureau. Moreover, many of his students are now either rich or noble, so he naturally wouldn't be much weaker than this deputy director. Wu Yong went to find Principal Wu to solve his daughter's problem, hoping to make a big deal out of a small one. It wasn't that easy, and he naturally needed to offer many compliments. Thus, Principal Chen had to weigh the situation carefully, show some respect, and only then would he give a lenient sentence.
But last night when Wu Yong brought up this matter in Principal Chen's office, Principal Chen smiled mysteriously and told him that the investigation results were out. The bra thing had nothing to do with Wu Shengnan, so Wu Yong didn't have to worry. This was great news! Anyone would be secretly happy about it. But who was Wu Yong He wasn't just a Deputy Director for nothing after all these years! He immediately felt that something was amiss.
It was clearly her daughter who did this. Wu Yong had already figured this out when he and Wu Shengnan were talking in the car. Wu Yong didn't think his face would be so effective, that he could make this principal, who was used to sitting in a high position, erase everything so quickly and pretend nothing happened!
Suddenly, Wu Yong felt that this water was very deep. Based on his years of experience as a police officer, Wu Shengnan and Principal Chen chatted for a while, subtly probing the reason behind it. Principal Chen still gave him face, finally hinting that someone important had called and instructed him not to mention it again. As for who that important person was, Principal Chen smiled mysteriously and said he couldn't disclose it!
Thus, Wu Yong walked out of Principal Chen's office. He had originally planned to pull himself together, find Lin Meng, and talk to her. He would appropriately show weakness and submissiveness, giving the young girl some face and smoothing things over. However, Principal Chen firmly stated that this matter had nothing to do with Wu Shengnan. Wu Yong couldn't bring himself to go look for Lin Meng again. He could only sit in his car, puzzled and confused, on his way home.
The more Wu Yong thought about it, the more he felt uneasy. He couldn't get a handle on the situation. He urgently needed to find Wu Shengnan, but that troublemaking girl wasn't home and was unreachable! Hearing his wife's explanation, he was stunned—the good-for-nothing had actually stripped the girl naked! This matter could be either major or minor; it all depended on Lin Meng's standing in the mysterious figure's heart.
Thinking of this, Wu Yong's ass couldn't sit still anymore.
"Go, quickly bring the men back!"
"My husband hasn't even realized how serious this is yet, she complained. "It's already so late, it's pitch black outside, where could we possibly find him Let's wait a while longer, once the boys have had enough fun outside, they'll naturally come back!"
"You understand what!" Wu Yong started to yell.
He frantically pulled his phone out of his pocket and started dialing, mobilizing almost all his available men and sending them out to search for someone.
It was only then that Wu's wife felt something was amiss. "What's wrong What happened!"
Wu Yong squinted his eyes, holding back a breath of anger, not wanting to say a word. He started smoking one cigarette after another in silence!
He got a lot of people involved, but after more than half an hour, there was still no sign of Wu Shengnan. As the clock struck twelve, Wu's wife also started to get anxious. After coaxing her husband, she finally found out what he was thinking and immediately burst into tears, sobbing and saying she wanted to ask for help from someone else. At this point in time, the best person to turn to would naturally be Jiang Po'lang's father, Wu Yong's former teammate and superior officer - Jiang Yancheng!
Wu Yong refused and puffed out a smoke ring, angrily saying: "This matter is already embarrassing enough. If we go to Lao Jiang, people will laugh at us!"
"Wu's wife wiped her tears and cried out, "I don't care if it's shameful or not, I just want my son back."
Wu Yong still insisted on not looking for Jiang Yichen, but in the end, he couldn't stand it anymore and finally called Jiang Yichen. Jiang Yichen was kind enough to specially dispatch a team to help him find someone, but unfortunately, Wu Shengnan disappeared like thin air and there was still no trace of her.
It wasn't until well past four in the morning that things began to take shape. The person was found, but their condition was terrible. They were naked and wrapped in a straw mat, thrown at the mouth of an alleyway where police officers had been searching back and forth. She was clearly unconscious, but her face revealed the flush of passion after intimacy, and her entire being emanated the distinct aroma that followed such encounters. Anyone could see at a glance what this girl had experienced. Beside her lay a sealed yellow file folder, which was also brought before Wu Yong.
Wu Yong trembled as he opened the folder. The photographs spilled out, clearly depicting what had happened that night -- photos of Wu Shengnan engaging in intercourse with an unidentified man. Each image was explicit, almost capturing Wu Shengnan’s private parts completely. The person who processed the photos was obviously skilled, concealing the man's face, making him impossible to identify. Instead, each photo clearly showed Wu Shengnan's face. She wore a dazed yet alluring smile, greedily clinging to the stranger as she sought kisses; or boldly straddling the man, swaying her hips drunkenly; or else bending her head obediently as she took the man's desire into her mouth, swallowing it…
Wu Yong looked at it after, his face turned ashen, almost had a stroke!
He took several deep breaths before he fainted from anger.
Finally, a printed piece of paper fell out, and it read:
“I’ve already given you and your daughter a lot of face, going out of my way to let her off easy. But she’s just too foolish and annoying, forcing my hand. Six hours can do many things. So, for the sake of your and your family's health, please have your daughter leave this province immediately. No later than twenty-four hours. This is my bottom line. Also, shut your mouths. Otherwise, I fear I won’t be able to control myself and might harm your daughter again!”
WARNING! This is a warning, without a doubt!!
In his rage, Wu Yong thought of who He could only think of one person -- Lin Meng. He could only think of her!
That girl's backer, to be so ruthless. Her daughter ripped Lin Meng's clothes and took her nude photos; that mysterious figure, actually found a man...to humiliate his daughter!
Six hours is a long time, you can do many things in it. Indeed, a lot of things. With Wu Yong's years of experience handling cases, he knew that the photos he received were definitely not all there were. And it was very possible that someone had filmed the entire process and recorded it onto a disc. Once this stuff got out...
Wu Yong simply couldn't imagine it!
To dare to provoke the dignity of a deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and not even put the deputy director Jiang Yancheng, who had specially dispatched a team, in his eyes, that mysterious figure must be extraordinarily powerful!
Wu's wife was clamoring there, demanding to catch the man, kill him in the photo, and execute the mastermind behind it all. She even wanted Lin Meng arrested. However, Wu Yong slapped her hard!
"Things have come to this, and you still can't see the situation clearly!"
Wu Yong's courage has been broken! If his wife hadn't hidden this from him and told him the truth from the beginning, could he have allowed his daughter to commit such an unforgivable mistake! Could he have watched helplessly as his daughter ran away! Could he bring back a daughter like that, a withered flower with broken branches!
The whole thing started because he messed with Lin Meng. To go looking for her trouble again is that he wants this family to die even faster! The letter clearly states that Wu Shengnan will be sent out of the province. Look closely, it's the province, not the city. Someone powerful enough to talk about the entire province, where could this small-time deputy director of the city bureau possibly have gotten the power!
Well, well, there's always someone better and something beyond the sky!
While unconscious, Wu Shengnan was secretly and swiftly transported out of Jiangsu province.
As an assistant in the missing person case, Jiang Yichen naturally learned about this incident from his subordinates. He also knew that Wu Shengnan was quickly sent away, while Wu Yong ordered everyone to go home and rest, and instructed those who knew the truth to keep silent. Things were not simple, and Jiang Yichen, being clever, chose to feign ignorance. This water is deep enough; even smart people wouldn't be foolish enough to wade in! However, upon learning that his two sons had a close relationship with Lin Meng, a key figure in the incident, Jiang Yichen immediately called both of them back home and recounted the events of the night in detail, making sure they learned a valuable lesson from this.
"Lin Meng, this girl, should be simple, but the people behind her are not. You guys how you used to get along with her, just keep doing that. Being neither too close nor too distant is best. Just one thing, you all need to know, that girl, don't touch!"
Jiang Chengfeng remained silent, merely giving a wry smile. He was grown now, having moved out years ago. He'd always been one with his own ideas, so he wouldn't do anything simply because someone told him to!
Jiang Po Lang's face was slightly flushed. He was still young after all, revealing some of his inner thoughts. He didn't say a word for a long time. Seeing his elder brother walk out of the study calmly, he quickly got up and followed him out. He didn't dare to stay at home. Following Jiang Cheng Feng's pace, he entered his Audi and drove straight to Jiang Cheng Feng's place.
"Big brother, what do you think kind of person would do this!" In the car, Jiang Po Lang broke the silence, asking.
Jiang Chengfeng let out a cold snort. “No matter who it is, since Wu Shengnan has the guts to commit a crime, she should be prepared to face the consequences!”
This man was a heartless one. Though the Wu and Jiang families had ties, Wu Shengnan and Jiang Po Lang were about the same age and used to follow Jiang Chengfeng around calling him "brother" when they were younger, but he clearly distinguished between relatives and outsiders. In his eyes, what happened to Wu Shengnan was entirely deserved. If anyone dared to harm his beloved woman someday, his methods would be even crueler. People said that Judge Jiang was upright and impartial, with an iron face and no private feelings, but they didn't know this man was also a ruthless character. He was fair when it didn't concern him, but if it involved him personally, he became an untouchable beast.
Compared to Jiang Chengfeng, Jiang Po浪 was still young and inexperienced. At this age, his heart wasn't as ruthless. He felt some sympathy for Wu Shengnan's situation; after all, they used to hang out together when they were younger. However, he didn't feel completely sorry for her, thinking she needed a lesson. But the person who gave her that lesson seemed to have gone a little too far.
"Brother, you wouldn't guess who it is!" Jiang PoLang pursued. Such lightning-fast action, giving no one a chance to retaliate, was admirable. The thing that made Jiang PoLang depressed now was that he let this man walk in front of him. Originally, if he had disciplined Wu Shengnan, then Lin Meng should have owed him a favor! But now, who knows where this man came from and stole his credit!
Jiang PoLang was a bit jealous, instinctively judging that it must be a man!
Jiang Cheng glanced at his younger brother, wanting to say something, such as about Lin Meng and Rong Ling's affairs. But he thought that now was a time of turmoil, so it was better to wait and see first. He didn't want his brother to get carried away and do something foolish like Wu Shengnan!
Wu Yong, Jiang Yancheng, and Jiang Chengfeng all coincidentally imagined the mastermind behind the scenes to be Rong Ling. Even if it wasn't Rong Ling, they believed it must have been his idea! Therefore, the three of them chose to avoid confrontation whenever possible and hide whenever they could!
And at this moment, Jiang Po-lang recalled what he had been thinking about all night yesterday, and he really wanted to ask Lin Meng if she knew that Wu Shengnan had been... That! But seeing Lin Meng's innocent little face, he couldn't bring himself to ask.
No way, not at all. Such a wonderful girl wouldn't let others use violence to seek revenge for her. Jiang Po Lang instinctively denied this suspicion.
He smiled at Lin Meng, and Jiang Po浪 looked at her with a refreshed face. "Let's go, don't miss the bus!"
But that's not the end of the story.
Lin Meng stumbled into school, her mind still fuzzy. The usually quiet morning was unusually bustling. Because the incident wasn't about her, she was spared the attention. Those students who knew the gossip weren't looking out for Lin Meng and were engrossed in their own chatter.
"No way, it's Zhou Xiaoyu! That Zhou Xiaoyu with a gambling-addicted father!" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
"That's right, there's no mistake. The message came from the registrar's office, saying that the bra belonged to Zhou Xiaoyu. Somehow, it was blown onto the flagpole and hung up there..."
Chatter filled the air as everyone engaged in lively conversation.
Jiang Po浪 looked at Lin Meng in astonishment, not expecting things to take such a “sudden turn”!
"Mengmeng, you go back to class first. I'll go around and ask some questions. When I have news, I'll come find you." But in his heart, he had already thought of that mysterious big shot!
Lin Meng let out an "um."
Lin Zi, however, looked at Jiang Po and Lin Meng with strange eyes, her heart also surprised by how her sister had managed to come out with someone like Zhou Xiaoyu! Could it be that the bra was really not this little rascal's!
Disappointed, Lin Zi also hurried to ask her friend what was going on.
Lin Meng and Jiang Po浪, Lin Zi went their separate ways, and she hurried towards the classroom, intending to see if Zhu Xiaomeng and Yang Haoqing were there. These two people are well-informed, let's see what's going on with Zhou Xiaoyu that others have said!
Lin Meng's heart was also filled with wonder. Could this... be the solution Xiao Yi mentioned! She was completely naive and hadn't imagined that for her, Xiao Yi had done so many ruthless things. She thought it was only this one thing! But just this one thing, in her eyes, was already incredibly difficult!
As it turned out, both Zhu Xiaomeng and Yang Haoqing weren't there. However, the table behind Lin Meng was surprisingly enthusiastic for once. As soon as Lin Meng came in and put down her schoolbag, they started chattering away, telling her everything they had heard.
It turned out that Zhou Xiaoyu had gone to the teaching office early in the morning to confess. She said that the bra was hers. It seems that the school's investigation team also found that it was her, and Zhou Xiaoyu might have heard some rumors and couldn't sit still, so she went to surrender herself. Given Zhou Xiaoyu's good attitude towards confession, the school didn't give her a heavy punishment, only planning to make a small disciplinary action. This disciplinary action should be posted on the bulletin board later. As for how Zhou Xiaoyu lost her bra and how it was blown there by the wind, no one knows. There are all kinds of speculations, but this is not what Lin Meng cares about.
"Hey, Lin Meng!" The girl from the back table blushed and averted her gaze. She stammered, as if embarrassed to speak. After a long pause, she finally mumbled, "I suspected it was you yesterday... I'm sorry!"
The girl fell silent and lowered her head. Yesterday, she had been quite indignant, gossiping with several other girls about Lin Meng. Now that the blame was on Zhou Xiaoyu, she started to feel embarrassed. After all, they were all just children of sixteen or seventeen, most didn't have truly malicious intentions. They knew they were wrong, they felt ashamed, and they knew they should apologize.
Lin Meng smiled.
Although this crime was placed on the innocent Zhou Xiaoyu, the person behind her is very happy that they could finally say sorry to her.
But Zhou Xiaoyu...
Lin Meng couldn't help but worry. She had experienced the pain of being attacked by rumors about her bra yesterday, and she knew how hurtful other people's slander and ridicule could be. Zhou Xiaoyu suffered for her, and now, would she be hiding away from people, crying sadly
Lin Meng lightly frowned, wanting to avoid looking up but saw the girl at the back table frowning at her, her face full of worry and distress. Only then did she realize that the other party was waiting for her reply. Immediately, she smiled and raised her eyebrows, gently replying, "It's nothing, I don't blame you!"
When the girl heard this, she burst out laughing. Looking at Lin Meng's smile as warm as spring breeze and her extremely delicate face, she was dumbfounded and blushed again. In fact, she really wanted to tell Lin Meng that she thought she was so beautiful, the most beautiful person she had ever seen. All the girls in class were secretly saying how pretty she was!
Her relationship with Lin Meng had always been lukewarm. It suddenly became passionate, which seemed a little off.
Luckily, Lin Meng has already turned his head away.
The girl touched her head and thought that this beauty at the desk in front of her didn't seem as hard to get along with as people said. She had spoken softly and gently, even smiled just now. And her temper wasn't bad at all! When she apologized, the other girl just laughed and said it was fine. She seemed like a really nice person! Maybe she should talk to her more often in the future!
Lin Meng didn't expect that because of this mishap, there were quite a few girls in her class who shared the same idea as the girl sitting behind her. She also didn't expect that this would become an opportunity for many people to secretly change their perception of her.
Leaving those aside, let's just talk about Zhou Xiaoyu. Lin Meng had been thinking about her all the time. Seeing that there were about ten minutes left until early self-study, she took out her phone from her schoolbag and ran to a less crowded place to secretly call Xiao Yi.
She worried about Zhou Xiaoyu. As soon as she answered the phone, she bombarded Xiao Yi with questions about how he had arranged things. She begged him not to let Zhou Xiaoyu end up like her, that perhaps Xiao Yi had also framed Zhou Xiaoyu!ngry at his uncle’s cold tone. “Daddy and Mommy love Youyou the most, so for Youyou, Daddy and Mommy definitely won’t divorce. Grandma also said that she won’t let Daddy and Mommy divorce. As long as...
