Chapter 25

Such a perfect plan, I didn't expect Ren Ran, who was usually against Guo Tongwen, would come out to support her.

She was not surprised at all that others supported Guo Tongwen, only Ren Ran's support was the most unexpected and also the part she could not figure out.

She was sure that Ren Ran did not know about her plan.

The only explanation was that Ren Ran, this fool, was just a saint.

When you don't kick others when they are down, it is already benevolent and righteous. To lend a helping hand, it's absolutely saintly.

She was not defeated by the plan, but by Ren Ran's saintly attributes.

This feeling made her not know how to get angry, and it felt powerless like punching cotton.

Ren Ran noticed the slight distortion of Kong Lian's smile from the corner of her eye, and understood that she had taken the right path.

Previously, she had only guessed that perhaps her fingerprints would be left on those banknotes, and then Kong Lian would use these fingerprints to frame her, causing others to doubt her character, smear her, and isolate her.

So she wanted to take preemptive action and keep things in her own hands.

Whether or not there were her fingerprints, she had the final say.

As for how Kong Lian got her fingerprints, hum, with her father Kong Li Ji, it was easy.

Ren Ran looked at Teacher Zhao's hesitant expression, and her gaze swept across Tan Jia, Kong Lian, and Guo Tongwen's faces. A plan was born in her mind.

Ren Ran said, "Teacher Zhao, let's do this. In order not to affect the school's reputation, and not to disturb other students. We will not call the police for now, but we can find out who the mastermind is."

"I will take this piece of evidence and have professionals extract the fingerprints, then compare them with the fingerprints of everyone in our class. As for who is making trouble behind the scenes and making everyone panic, I will tell only you privately."

"I also hope here that the person will be more cautious in the future. If something like this happens again next time, we will suspect you first."

Teacher Zhao felt this was the most sensible approach. The college entrance exam was coming soon, too many troubles would be detrimental to studying, and it could also give that child a chance to repent and reform.

"Okay. I'll listen to you." Teacher Zhao nodded in agreement.

The teacher had agreed, and the other students did not object either.

Guo Tongwen said, "I am the victim, I have the right to know too."

"Sure." Ren Ran nodded.

The matter was settled like this.

Kong Lian was not flustered by this, because there were no fingerprints of hers on it at all, so she did not need to worry. She only regretted that her plan was thwarted by someone again.

As for whether she was worried that Ren Ran would splash dirty water on her, she was not worried at all.

After all, the two of them had no grudges.

They had little interaction with each other.

With Ren Ran's saintly temperament, she would not wrong anyone. She was quite reassured on this point.

While all the students thought the matter had passed, for Ren Ran, this was just the beginning.

During the afternoon break, Zhao Yi pulled Ren Ran to the school store and chattered non-stop along the way.

"How did you suddenly want to help Guo Tongwen? If I were you, I would be satisfied with not kicking others when they're down, let alone speaking for her, impossible! I have to say, I really admire your temperament and mind." Zhao Yi gave her a big thumbs up.

In fact, many people were surprised by her actions.

Ren Ran felt undeserving of her praise.

She spoke up for Guo Tongwen not purely for her sake, but for self-protection.

If she did nothing, it would play right into Kong Lian's plan.

"I'm not as noble as you say." Ren Ran said with a smile.

Zhao Yi took her words as being modest.

Just as they walked to the entrance of the teaching building, Guo Tongwen blocked their way, her gaze fixed on Ren Ran.

"Can I talk to you?"

Zhao Yi looked at both of them and tactfully left, "I'll go back to the classroom first, call me if you need anything."

After she left, the two walked towards a lawn nearby.

"What's the matter?"

Guo Tongwen said, "I'm sorry, thank you."

Ren Ran raised her eyebrows.

"I'm sorry, I always targeted you before. I used to be jealous of you, before you came I was the best among the girls, but since you appeared, I'm not as good as you in everything. I resented you in my heart, so I always targeted you. Here I apologize for the things I did before, I was narrow-minded and petty."

As she spoke, she bent down and apologized sincerely.

"There's no need for that."

They were just some verbal arguments, nothing compared to Ruan and her daughter, Kong Li Ji and the others.

If one held grudges over everything, life would be very dark.

Her generosity made Guo Tongwen feel the gap between them even more, making her past self look like a clown jumping around.

"Thank you for speaking up for me today."

If it weren't for her righteous words, she would have fallen into endless rumors. She could not guarantee that her mentality would remain the same under the rumors. Once unstable, her grades would definitely plummet.

In this important period of senior year in high school, being in this situation was tantamount to ruining her future.

Ren Ran's favor to her was very great.

"I just told the truth."

No matter what she said, Guo Tongwen remembered her kindness.

Not far away, Kong Lian watched this scene with her own eyes, and her heart felt like it was being sliced.

The one who should have been standing there accepting Guo Tongwen's gratitude was her.

She had again made wedding clothes for others, and this other person was still Ren Ran.

Hu Xiyue next to Kong Lian noticed that her face was very ugly and asked caringly, "Kong Lian, are you feeling unwell?"

Kong Lian retracted her gaze, "I'm fine, just a little stomach discomfort, a small problem."

"Take care of your health."

"Okay."

I didn't expect you to be so saintly this time, next time you won't be so lucky.

Ren Ran, let's wait and see!

On the weekend, Ren Ran was doing workbooks and had just finished the math workbook when her phone started vibrating.

A message from Xu Zhaoyin came in.

Ren Ran put down her pen and called Xu Zhaoyin back.

"What's the situation?"

Xu Zhaoyin got straight to the point without any nonsense, "I just discovered another group investigating your dad. One of them happened to be someone I know, so I used a little trick to find out who their boss was."

"How much?" Ren Ran was very efficient.

Xu Zhaoyin liked such efficient customers, "Money is a small matter..."

"You mean I don't need to pay?" Ren Ran joked.

Xu Zhaoyin: "..."

I'm just making small talk.

He cleared his throat lightly, "Not much money, 10,000 will do."

"Okay, go ahead."

"The one investigating your dad is your mom." After saying this, Xu Zhaoyin couldn't help but sigh inwardly, this family was very interesting.

The relationships in wealthy families were so complicated, truly beyond ordinary people's comprehension.

"Thanks. I'll transfer the payment to you later."

"You're welcome. My friend said he investigated for a long time but found no evidence of your dad having an affair, not even any suspects. His secretaries are all male, most of the people in the general office are male, even if there are females, they are all married and have children."
