Chapter 141: So It Was You Who Kidnapped Teacher Li?

Gu Zhenzhi’s pupils constricted abruptly.

His mind held no such memory, yet vaguely, he felt a strange sensation on his thin lips, as if the things Ruan Cha had just described had truly transpired.

But.

How could that be?

He knew himself better than anyone. Even if he had now realized his feelings for Ruan Cha, it was absolutely impossible for him to have committed such a sordid and insane act.

It was worse than beastly.

Quickly composing his expression, Gu Zhenzhi looked at her with cold indifference. "Impossible."

Ruan Cha was genuinely infuriated by this response.

Her eyes reddened, and she hopped out of Gu Zhenzhi’s embrace. Retreating to the other side of the bed, she pressed her lips into a tight line. "Gu Zhenzhi, I never imagined you were this kind of person!!!"

With that, she wrapped herself in her small quilt, turned, and ran off. She did not look back at him again. Returning to her own bedroom, she curled up at the foot of her bed.

She clearly knew what kind of person Gu Zhenzhi was, yet she couldn't help but harbor expectations. She didn't know when it had started, but she had become so concerned with how Gu Zhenzhi reacted to her.

Ruan Cha shook her head and hopped off the bed to wash her face.

In any case, she was truly angry now; she would no longer take the initiative to deal with Gu Zhenzhi. She wanted him to know: even when you’re the one taking the initiative, you can still get tired!

When Ruan Cha went to school, she didn't greet Gu Zhenzhi, nor did she let his driver take her. Since Xirui was there, she simply left with him.

Upon arriving at school, she found that their livestream had been cut off by the Gu family over the weekend. Because of the Gu family’s influence, the production team no longer dared to ask them to stream, and the program had been completely terminated.

The discussion about the incident online remained intense.

Especially the sounds from the stairwell between Ruan Cha and Gu Zhenzhi that day—they had even frequently topped the trending searches.

Ruan Cha arrived at school early, and there were only a few scattered students in the classroom.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Yun Zhe shifted his gaze from the test paper in front of him to Ruan Cha. Clutching his phone, he stood up abruptly and walked over to her.

Looking down, he saw the girl playing with her phone in a desultory manner, showing no intention of acknowledging him.

"Ruan Cha, why didn't you reply to my messages? I sent you so many..."

The noisy sound in her ears only deepened Ruan Cha’s already impatient mood. A cold curve formed at the corner of her lips. She raised her eyes, her gaze icy, her eyes filled with profound irritation. "I blocked you."

Yun Zhe’s breath hitched.

His fingers tightened around his phone as he lowered his voice. "Ruan Cha, I have evidence of what happened that day. Call Teacher Li out right now, or I will take the evidence of you making Teacher Li mute to the police!"

Ruan Cha took a deep breath, the lift of her eyelids carrying a sharp chill. "And if I refuse?"

"Ruan Cha! Stop being so stubborn! Do you know that this is attempted murder? If something happens to Teacher Li, can you bear the responsibility? This is a prison offense! Just because Teacher Li targeted you, you would go so far as to kill her?"

Yun Zhe’s words, shouted in a fit of uncontrollable rage, reached the ears of Lin Yao and Ruan Wei as they entered the classroom.

Lin Yao’s expression shifted, and she rushed over to Ruan Cha in two or three strides, her voice shrill. "Ruan Cha! Was it actually you who kidnapped Teacher Li? Teacher Li has been missing for days, and her family is going crazy looking for her. How could your heart be so vicious!"

After saying this, Lin Yao looked at the pale-faced Yun Zhe beside her. "Yun Zhe, do you have evidence that she kidnapped Teacher Li? Let's go to the police station right now. We need to get someone with such a dark heart expelled from school! So what if she ranked first in the grade? With a psychological problem like that, she’s just a ticking time bomb among us!"
