ntrol in his mind, she didn't speak up. Instead, she silently let the man make the arrangements.Thus, the little one quickly became a member of Big Wind Kindergarten's small class.As expected, once in...Thinking about it and doing it, through Lin Dong's connections with his friends, Lin Zi quickly got some aphrodisiac drugs. The next thing to do was how to coax Lin Meng out, and then how to get Zhou Xiangliang to agree.

Lin Zi believed Zhou Xiangliang was a reasonable person. After all, she had given him her purity for nothing. He had received such a great favor, he should at least do something for her. Besides, she also sensed Zhou Xiangliang's liking for her. When he touched her, she would inexplicably blush. She couldn't possibly not know! But who knew, Zhou Xiangliang simply wouldn't cooperate. Even when she threatened and tempted him, he just kept shaking his head on the phone.

“You coward!” Lin Zi angrily cursed. To not enjoy the beauty sent to your door, you’re simply not a man. Helplessly, she turned to a friend of Lin Dong's. The boy, upon hearing that he would be given a girl for free and that it was even Lin Dong's sister, whom he had long coveted, readily agreed. Besides, Lin Dong promised him several thousand yuan as payment, on the condition that he record the video, but absolutely wouldn't show his face. Such a good deal, not to take it would be foolish! A man’s nakedness is nothing special anyway. Being filmed from behind wouldn't hurt much, right So, without hesitation, the man nodded in agreement.

Then, Lin Zi excitedly started to coax Lin Meng. But Lin Meng was obviously avoiding her. No matter how Lin Zi spoke on the phone, urging her to go home, Lin Meng refused. Lin Zi even thought about blocking Lin Meng on her way home from school, but she felt it wasn't feasible. If she were seen by classmates, it would be bad. So she thought of going to Lin Meng's house in person, of course, taking that man with her. At that time, she would have the man wait outside first, and after she had seduced Lin Meng, she would let the man in. But Lin Meng refused to see Lin Zi, which made Lin Zi so angry that she stomped her feet.

At that time, Rong Ling chose a literary and quaint neighborhood for Lin Meng. Naturally, the security measures were excellent. Without a resident's guidance or a resident calling the guardhouse to allow entry, outsiders were strictly prohibited from entering the community.

"Damn girl, you actually learned how to hide!"

Lin Zi cursed under her breath, continuing to rack her brain on how to deceive Lin Meng. Just that evening, however, she received an unexpected piece of news from a friend: the Education Bureau was going to send someone to inspect No. 4 Middle School. Apparently, a rather unpleasant video had been circulating online, and the students in it were wearing the uniforms of No. 4 Middle School. The leaders of the Education Bureau took this very seriously and decided to send an inspector to assess the school's atmosphere. As a result, the school organized a whole-school cleaning session this afternoon, and just as the evening study began, the head teacher delivered a lengthy speech for over an hour on spiritual civilization. The main point was to encourage students to be self-disciplined, prioritize their studies, and absolutely avoid any other frivolous or inappropriate activities!

As soon as Lin Zi received the call, she knew something was terribly wrong. Her instinct told her that the video the Education Bureau official had seen must be about her because the timing coincided perfectly. Furthermore, the school must have found out through some channel, or perhaps even her homeroom teacher knew something.

Sure enough, just after she hung up the phone, Mrs. Lin received a call from Lin Zi's homeroom teacher, who inquired about what illness Lin Zi had and if the two-month leave of absence would truly last for two months. The teacher also subtly alluded to the video clip and lastly urged Lin Zi to take good care of herself.

Lin Wife was also a shrewd person. In order to help her child with their studies, she often gave the head teacher gifts. She immediately understood the meaning from the head teacher's words and stated that Lin Wife would indeed be recuperating at home for two months and wouldn't be going to school. That's how the call ended. After putting down the phone, Lin Wife had a talk with Lin Zi, and everything became clear. The officials from the Education Bureau were definitely here because of Lin Zi.

The head teacher revealed that the principal had summoned all class teachers to his office to identify the person. Lin Zi's teacher immediately recognized him as Lin Zi. Recalling that Lin Zi, who was always in good health, suddenly claimed to be sick and took a leave of absence, she became suspicious. As the class teacher, she dared not conceal this matter and naturally reported it to the principal. After discussion between the principal and the head teacher, they decided to let Lin Zi continue staying at home and not come back to school.

Actually, according to the principal's intention, Lin Zi was definitely going to be expelled. But right now, this is not the time to vent on Lin Zi. This video of their daytime adultery has a huge impact and has already spread online. If it's not handled well, it will have a very bad impact on the school's reputation. If parents find out about this, which one would still send their children to No. 4 Middle School So next year, and even in the following years, the enrollment rate of No. 4 Middle School would be hit devastatingly. Even, perhaps No. 4 Middle School could only become a relic!

So the principal's arrangement was to tell the homeroom teacher not to say anything outside, only instructing Lin Zi to stay out of sight. Then, to the education bureau officials who came to inspect, he claimed that the two men and women were not students of their school, but just outsiders wearing their school uniforms.

This is naturally an excuse, but Principal Chen of No. 4 Middle School has been principal for so many years, and naturally he has his connections. When something happens, it's impossible to just wait to be framed. What is needed now is a relatively reasonable explanation to face the questioning and accusations from society and the media. If everything is pushed onto outsiders, the matter will naturally be resolved! It would be even more beneficial if Lin Zhineng didn't come to school and people couldn't see her, which would further facilitate the process!

This could also be considered Lin Zi's good fortune. She happened to be caught by the person sent by the higher-ups before the school found out. Otherwise, if the school had learned about it first, they would have definitely secretly expelled her. However, after this incident was resolved, Principal Chen also made a decision to persuade Lin Zi to leave. Otherwise, keeping this girl in school would undoubtedly be a ticking time bomb, who knows when she might cause trouble again. This plan, however, Principal Chen did not mention it to anyone else. But Lin Zi's homeroom teacher probably also thought about it, but wouldn't be foolish enough to say anything at this sensitive moment, lest the Lin family retaliate and cause a stir.

Over there, Lin's wife was secretly rejoicing!

But Lin Zi didn't know gratitude, instead she hatched a poisonous scheme!

The Education Bureau people seem to be coming tomorrow, she doesn't have time to deceive Lin Meng anymore. Right now, the most important thing is to take this opportunity and destroy Lin Meng!

So, she put on a hat, glasses, and a new outfit she had never worn before. After finishing her disguise, she went out. After making some preparations outside, she waited on the path Yang Haqing and Zhu Xiaomeng usually took to return home, intercepting the two.

Yang Haoqing and Zhu Xiaomeng, being best friends, naturally went to school and home together. As close friends of Lin Meng for nearly ten years, they shared many things with Lin Zi, who knew everything about their lives, including their home addresses.

As she wished, she blocked the two of them on the road. Lin Zi and the two talked, initially they were frightened and desperately denied having framed Lin Meng for nearly ten years.

“Fine, stop acting. I'm not Lin Meng, so don't try to fool me! I don't care what you two have against Lin Meng, but you've done a lot of things these past ten years. One thing in front of people, another behind their backs. You wouldn't want me to expose all your actions, would you To make everyone despise you, hate you, and distance themselves from you And then let all your family and friends look down on you”

Both of them changed color.

Lin Zi again picked up several things and talked about them, but it was precisely the two of them who were making trouble, spreading rumors that walking made everyone distance themselves from Lin Meng.

"Do I need to say more!" Lin Zi chuckled maliciously, wearing an expression as if she knew everything. "If I were to explain it in detail, I'm afraid it would take a whole night. I don't have much going on, but your parents are all waiting for you at home. Are you just going to stand here and let me explain everything one by one!"

Zhu Xiaomeng bit her lip, she was a decisive person. As the deputy squad leader, she naturally had some courage. She immediately decided and said; “Alright, the two of us promise you, but this is just once, there will definitely be no next time!”

Lin Zi smiled and nodded, but inwardly she thought disdainfully, "How ridiculous! To dare to bargain with her when she has them both in her grasp" Once or twice was not something they could decide, it all depended on her mood.

Then, she handed them some things and instructed them on something. Yang Haoting and Zhu Xiaomeng were surprised again, nodding in response. These two people had dedicated over a decade to the "great undertaking" of discrediting Lin Meng, and they had accomplished quite a bit. They even had their own network of contacts that could quickly spread rumors. As a result, the atmosphere on campus the next morning became different, some unusual photos circulating quietly, accompanied by certain rumors.

All those things that were once suppressed are now boiling over. Little things, once they accumulate, can be like a thousand-mile dike breaking at the ant hill, completely overwhelming a person.

Such as Lin Meng instructing her brother Lin Dong to beat up the boys who tried to follow her, can be considered trivial! The matter that caused more public anger among students was the rumor spreading that Wu Shengnan from the neighboring No. 10 Middle School had been raped, and the mastermind behind it was Lin Meng. The reason for this was because Wu Shengnan offended Lin Meng...

This made everyone see at once what a snake-hearted girl she was!

Moreover, what was being spread wasn't just rumors, but also photos. Photos of Lin Meng and Jiang Po Lang kissing. Rumors smeared Lin Meng as a woman who slept around, seducing men everywhere, and even brought up the claim that she was currently living with a man!

Lin Zi was completely consumed by her desire for revenge. She was leaving the country soon anyway, so what did she have to fear She didn't even care about Rong Ling anymore. It wasn't that Lin Zi wasn't afraid of Rong Ling's power, but this woman who had no idea what was really going on saw the tabloid content and Lin Meng's miserable state and naively believed that Rong Ling no longer cared much for Lin Meng and was about to dump her.

Even, she brilliantly thought of -- stirring up trouble from the east! Originally, the Education Bureau came to the school for an inspection. Some parents among the students were teachers at this school and learned some inside information. It is said that it was because of a morally corrupt girl that they came. So, Lin Zi took action secretly, leading everyone to believe that this girl was Lin Meng, and even unconsciously hoped that those from the Education Bureau would take Lin Meng as the person in the video.

Speaking of which, Lin Zi and Lin Meng are about the same height, and their face shapes are a bit similar. However, even with a mosaic applied, if you look closely, you can still tell that Lin Meng is different from the woman in the video. The key point is whether the Education Bureau people are willing to acknowledge this blunder!

Women like Lin Zi, when they truly get angry, can be utterly ruthless. Principal Chen desperately tried to smooth things over, putting on a smile as he led the Education Bureau officials around the school, ostensibly to inspect the students' conduct. But fate had other plans: a photograph suddenly floated down from the sky and landed squarely on an Education Bureau official. The boy in the photo was wearing a basketball jersey emblazoned with the Four Middle School basketball team logo. This undeniable evidence was something Principal Chen could not possibly sweep under the rug.

Principal Chen was about to go crazy; his face turned pale at the time.

These visitors weren't all given face by Principal Chen. Some things, under the watchful eyes of everyone, had to be done and couldn't be faked. So, a few people pulled over some passing classmates and asked about the situation in the picture. The Jiang Po-lang and Lin Meng in the photo were both big names at this school, recognizable by anyone.

As for Jiang Po-lang, there's not much to say. He's on the basketball team and a good student, so he's considered an honor to the school. Most people who meet him speak highly of him. However, once it came to Lin Meng, because of the silent wave of rumors that morning, everyone had their own thoughts. So when officials from the Education Bureau politely inquired, they all spoke up, naturally with more negative comments!

Then, all the leaders' faces turned sour!

Principal Chen inwardly groaned, thinking to himself that those messy affairs hadn't he suppressed them back then How could they resurface now It was bras and Wu Shengnan again, how could they be so persistent! What troubled him even more was that at the time, it was a phone call from someone influential above asking him to resolve the matter immediately and never mention it again! This left him wondering how he would respond to the leader's questions later!

What annoyed him most was that he had just told the visiting leader that the two people in the video were outsiders, and he had just assured them they weren't from the school. Then his student leaked the information, dragging in someone from their own school, hinting at Lin Meng. How could he not be angry!

The visiting high-ranking leader was displeased. He glared angrily at Principal Chen, wondering what this man had done to him. He was ordered to lead a team for an inspection today, but it was just a formality. This was supposed to be a platform for Principal Chen, but he messed everything up. This was simply digging his own grave!

It seems like this school is going to have a new principal!

The great leader shook his head and led a group of people to the principal's office.

Then, Yang Haoqiong and Zhu Xiaomeng, classmates of Lin Meng who were considered to be close friends, were called over; at the same time, Jiang Po's two friends were also called to the office. The leaders also understood the strategy of conversation, first grasping enough information from the side before talking to the parties involved!

When Su Xue got the news, she panicked and rushed to Lin Meng's classroom.

"Mumu, something's wrong!"

As he got closer, he was stunned. On Lin Meng's desk lay several photos, each a different angle of the picture of Jiang Po Lang kissing her. These were the ones Zhu Xiao Meng had given to Lin Meng before being called to the principal's office.

At this point, Zhu Xiaomeng still wanted to fob off Lin Meng and maintain a good relationship. So before being called away, she took out the photos. This way, she could at least inform her best friend first.

"You know, right!" Su Xue mumbled.

Lin Meng raised her eyes silently, smiling. "Do you know what!" A premonition, but it was heading in the worst direction!

Su Xue suddenly yanked Lin Meng out of his seat and dragged him to the hallway, where she began to chatter incessantly.

"Hey, who the hell is spreading these damn rumors It's disgusting!" she said angrily. "This is bad, I heard those photos landed right on the heads of the leaders and they all saw them. The school isn't too fond of early romance anyway, this is going to be a disaster, ugh…"

Su Xue was a little anxious, she grasped Lin Meng's hand tightly, and suddenly discovered that Lin Meng's hand was terribly cold.

"Dreamy..."

She was astonished, yet she saw transparent water droplets falling from Lin Meng's drooping head and splattering on the ground. But they were—tears!

"It seems that even reading quietly is not allowed now!" she sighed softly.

"Dreams" Su Xue's heart tightened. She felt inexplicably uneasy, frightened by the bleak implication in Lin Meng's words.

"Mengmeng, don't scare me like that!" she whispered anxiously. "Don't be afraid, it's alright. The clear will stand clear, and the turbid will stand turbid. I believe you, you wouldn't do something like this, don't be sad..."

At this moment, the school bell rang. Su Xue hesitated, looking at the entrance of her classroom, but she didn't take a step forward. She couldn't bear to leave Lin Meng alone here!

Lin Meng quickly reached out and wiped at the drooping face. She looked up, though her eyes were slightly red, there was no tear on her face.

"Ah Xue, time for class!" she said with a smile, her lips curving gently upwards. It was such a soft smile, gentle as the spring breeze, as if nothing had ever happened, as if it never even came to be.

Su Xue frowned, but she felt a pang of sympathy for Lin Meng keeping everything bottled up inside. However, at that moment, the homeroom teacher came walking towards the classroom with a textbook in hand. There was nothing to be done, so Su Xue and Lin Meng reluctantly parted ways and went to their respective classrooms.

She sat down, Lin Meng wasn't afraid, not at all. The worst she could imagine was being expelled from school, with no place to study. It didn't matter, she felt a little disheartened. These days, vaguely, she had made up her mind to leave. That day, when Rong Ling pushed her away, she lay on the floor like a broken doll, and that's when she started feeling cold. Then stubbornly and defiantly, she cleared all of her belongings from Rong Ling's bedroom, also wanting to draw a line, letting herself slowly adapt to being separated from Rong Ling, starting with no longer sharing a room.

At that time, I still instinctively thought about doing my duty well, quietly finishing high school, and then getting into a good university. When she got to college, she could apply for student loans to complete her studies, and at the same time, she could work part-time to earn living expenses. She imagined that in two years, she could live independently. Although it would be hard, it would probably be very free and beautiful. But she didn't expect that even going to school and studying could become a luxury.

When I was deeply absorbed in thought, the classroom door was suddenly knocked twice, “dong dong,” and then Teacher Ni, our homeroom teacher, stuck her head in.

"Lin Meng, come out!"

Lin Meng stiffened suddenly, then, under the gaze of over sixty pairs of eyes in the class, quietly walked out of her seat.

The destination, of course, was the principal's office. On the way there, they ran into Jiang Po-lang. His face looked a little off. Both of them weren't stupid; they had heard some rumors and understood what was going on.

"Lin Meng, some classmates said you've been messing around with the opposite sex. I need your explanation!" The head leader sat in Principal Chen's original position, looking at Lin Meng, pointing to the photo in his hand, and asked in a deep voice, without anger but commanding. As for Principal Chen, he was sitting on the side. Now, the situation was no longer something he could decide unilaterally!

Lin Meng settled her mind, lifted her head and quietly looked at the leader in his fifties. "What did they say!"

She wasn't afraid because she had already met people who were far more imposing than this so-called leader.

The leader was surprised by the girl's calmness, but it made him even more certain that she wasn't ordinary. He must have had a lot of experience outside of school. So, he briefly told her what he knew. But everything he said was negative and harmful to Lin Meng.

Lin Meng was not unfamiliar with this kind of rhetoric. Compared to the shock she had felt when hearing it from Su Xue just now, she was quite composed at the moment.

"I'm only staying at my cousin's house to recuperate, that's what my parents arranged. As for this rumor about me messing around with someone, I can't admit to it!"

Lying, that's because she was forced to. Because, in today's society, honesty has become a kind of self-harm. When she can facetiously utter lies, it also means that she has grown up, and then the things she has to bear will increase.

"Then how do you explain this photograph!" The big leader advanced step by step.

"Oh, that was me who tempted Jiang Tong to kiss me. I had a crush on him back then. But that was several weeks ago. Now, I've come to my senses and don't have a crush on him anymore!" It sounded casual, but she had just thought it up in class. Her image was already bad enough, so she didn't mind adding one more blemish. However, Jiang Po Lang was different; he should be clean-cut from beginning to end, radiating that refreshing sunshine vibe!

"No, that's not right..." Jiang Po-lang cried weakly, but his heart was aching terribly.

Lin Meng suddenly turned her head and interrupted Jiang Po浪's defense in a sharp voice. "Jiang, I know you are a kind person who is always willing to help others. But in this matter, don't be too kind. Although I'm not great, I still have some principles. One person does the thing, one person takes responsibility. I insist on that. It was me who did it, and I wouldn't push it onto someone else. So please, just keep quiet about it!"

"Dream...dream..." Jiang Po waved whispered, but his heart ached even more. He could defend himself, he could shout and tell everyone the truth of the matter. But his father's veiled threat earlier still weighed heavily on him.

When this photo incident happened, as Jiang Po-lang's homeroom teacher, Teacher Lin immediately called Jiang Yan-cheng, Jiang Po-lang's father, and gave him a brief explanation. Jiang Yan-cheng, being a provincial-level cadre at the deputy department level, a high-ranking official with immense power, Teacher Lin, a mere middle school homeroom teacher, naturally had to report any abnormalities about Jiang Po-lang to Jiang Yan-cheng immediately. Otherwise, if something went wrong, he wouldn't be able to shoulder the responsibility.

Jiang Yichen was both brave and cunning, decisive in his actions. He immediately gave the head teacher instructions to blame everything on Lin Meng. After all, her reputation was already bad enough, and everyone would believe she was the one causing trouble. Jiang Yichen also used his connections to contact the visiting leader, subtly hinting at the same idea, and the leader readily agreed. Afterwards, he called Jiang Po浪, asking for his cooperation. Jiang Po浪 naturally refused. He wasn't the kind of man who would become a turtle when things went wrong and let a weak woman take the blame. But Jiang Yichen had dealt with difficult people before, naturally understanding how to strike at their weaknesses, and immediately seized on Jiang Po浪's vulnerability.

"If you refuse, believe me, I'll make that girl suffer tenfold worse than she is now!" Those words were not an exaggeration at all. Jiang Yichen was absolutely capable of doing so. As his son, how could Jiang Po Lang be unaware of this

He became angry. "Dad, you can't do that, that's my friend!"

“Friend, you should help others when they need it! That girl is definitely in trouble now. Let her take all the blame. Don't feel resentful or embarrassed about it, Dad won't let her help for nothing. If she agrees to do this, I'll pull some strings and get her punishment reduced so she doesn't get expelled!”

This is a perfect example of yin and yang!

But it was also Jiang Yancheng's last few words that moved Jiāo Pòlàng, made him submit, and then he shamefully agreed.

"Dad, at most just give Mengmeng a little warning, otherwise, I absolutely won't agree to this!"

Jiang Yichen was furious at that. The girl wasn't even his girlfriend now, and this kid already acted like he had a wife and forgot his mother. His father worked hard to find someone, build connections, all for this ungrateful son. He dared to negotiate with his own father, constantly seeking benefits for that girl.

"Girls' affairs are complicated, it's not a bad thing to not discourage them, and at most, just remember their little mistakes! Do you think the Education Bureau is your father's company!"

Jiang Po-lang pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and stubbornly raised her chin, shouting: "I don't care, at most just remember the minor offense, otherwise, I won't agree!"

"Hmph, now kissing in young people isn't a big deal. You think school leaders can still hold onto this. I don't care anyway, Xiaolang, don't push your luck!"

Jiang Po Lang flushed red, but he refused to yield. "Then I'll say that I got involved with Mengmeng in a romantic relationship, isn't that a big deal!"ritted her teeth and shouted. "If you don't let go, I'll kick you again!"A rude voice chimed in, "Lin Meng, stop it! Why are you hitting Rong Ling You—"She, like a haughty mistress, gestured with slen...
