Chapter 8: Her Perfect Counterattack
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The Dean was furious.
This Ye Qingran had a bad reputation in school, but he didn’t expect him to be so vicious.
He was so young, but he had actually done such a crazy thing.
He slammed his hand heavily on the table. “So what you mean is you admit to everything?”
Ye Qingran shook her head. “I said that I have nothing to say, not because I want to admit it, but because I have a clear conscience.”
The Dean said, “Witnesses and physical evidence are present, yet you still want to defend yourself?”
Ye Qingran said, “Witnesses, these people? May I ask which of them saw me rape Si Jing with their own eyes? Where is the physical evidence? Where are the torn clothes from that day? Are you sure that they were torn by me and have been tested? You have none of those but still try to frame me. Do you really think that I don’t know the law?”
The Dean said, “You’re saying that Si Jing is framing you. She’s just a girl. What’s in it for her to risk her own reputation to frame you?”
Ye Qingran shrugged. “How would I know that? You have to ask her what she’s up to.”
As she spoke, her deep gaze fell on Si Jing.
She was extremely cold, and it was as if she could see through the filth in the deepest part of a person’s heart.
Si Jing was a little flustered from being stared at.
It wasn’t that Ye Qingran was vicious and despicable, but that he was a brainless playboy.
He was lecherous.
His private life was particularly messy, and he often couldn’t control himself from getting horny when under the influence of alcohol. That was why when Tang Xinyuan told her that he would give Ye Qingran a lesson, she agreed.
She couldn’t lose her calm.
The video from that day had been deleted, and all the evidence had been destroyed.
Even if Ye Qingran didn’t want to admit it, he had to admit everything that had happened today.
As she thought of this, Si Jing showed an aggrieved expression.
She looked at the Dean pitifully and said, “I knew it would be like this. In this kind of matter, girls will always be the one at a disadvantage, the one who will be blamed…”
She cried, and acted like she couldn’t say the rest of her words.
Mu Qingxue looked at Si Jing worriedly and sadly.
She held her hand to give her comfort and courage.
She then said to Ye Qingran, “You don’t have to force Jing Jing anymore. You don’t have to put on an act and pretend to be high-minded. Everyone in the school knows what kind of person you are.”
Si Jing took a deep breath, then she said, “Initially, there were some things that I didn’t want to say. After all, we are all classmates. I just thought that you were infatuated with me and it was your first time committing a crime. As long as you admit your mistake and repent, it will be fine. However, you are too hateful. You tried to frame me when you failed in your attempt to rape me. This is really intolerable.”
As she spoke, she opened her phone.
She tapped on an audio frequency.
Si Jing’s voice immediately came out from inside. “Ye Qingran, what are you doing?”
“Don’t you know very clearly what I’m doing?”
“I’m Tang Xinyuan’s girlfriend. If you dare to do anything to me, Tang Xinyuan will never let you off the hook. Ah, don’t…”
Just a few simple sentences could make people’s imaginations run wild.
Ye Qingran: “…”
These were the lines that the original character had said while playing the game with them.
Everything had been premeditated.
This way, the original character wouldn’t be able to clear his name no matter what.
A few of the students next to him suddenly looked indignant. “He’s really too much of a beast.”
“No matter how much he quibbles, the truth is right in front of us. That’s how it is.”
“I really don’t want to go to the same school as such a person.”
The Dean’s face was so dark that it appeared as if ink could drip from it.
He looked at Ye Qingran and said, “You said that there were no witnesses, but everyone present were witnesses. You said that there were no physical evidence, but this was the physical evidence. Everything is set in stone.”
Si Jing lowered her head and looked pitiful.
She said to the Dean, “I know that I don’t have any powerful family background, but I was very lucky. I was saved by someone so it didn’t really happen. The reason I’m standing here is because I wanted to tell the truth. I don’t want him to go crazy one day and lay his hands on other girls. I was lucky, but what about the other girls? Will they be as lucky as me? What if… their lives are ruined…”
The principal and a few school directors looked at each other.
This matter had a great impact.
If they didn’t handle it properly, it would be exposed on the internet.
The consequences would be unimaginable.
Originally, they wanted to ask Ye Qingran to apologize.
They wanted to minimize this matter.
In the end, Ye Qingran still insisted on not admitting it even though the evidence was conclusive.
Since that was the case, then they could only do things by the book.
After getting the signal from a few leaders, the Dean looked at Ye Qingran and said, “The impact of this matter is too great. We have decided…”
Just as he was about to announce that Ye Qingran would be expelled, one of the school board members suddenly shouted, “Wait.”
Everyone’s gaze immediately fell on the school board member.
The school board member directly projected the image on his phone onto the public screen in the office.
A video was playing inside.
The first to appear was Tang Xinyuan and Si Jing. The two of them muttered a few words outside the corridor.
Then, Si Jing pushed the door open and entered the room where Ye Qingran was. Less than a minute after entering, a terrified voice came from inside, and Tang Xinyuan ran in.
This video was now posted on the school’s website.
In less than two minutes, it was on the verge of blowing up the forum, since Ye Qingran caused such a huge commotion during this rape incident.
Those who had been scolding Ye Qingran were stunned.
They felt extremely shocked.
Everything they had said previously were overturned.
[ This reversal was too fast, like a tornado. I was so shocked that I jumped to the South Pole. ]
[ Is the truth of the rape incident a distortion of humanity or a loss of morality? ]
[ False rumors, right? They said that he almost raped Si Jing, and then everyone believed it. After all, no girl would use her innocence to frame him. ]
[ In the end, no one would have thought that this was more like a carefully crafted conspiracy. ]
..
In the principal’s office.
After everyone saw the video, they were all stunned.
Si Jing said that she was brought to the room by Ye Qingran, but this shows that she entered the room by herself.
Si Jing said that when Ye Qingran was listening to her explain the problem, he kept fondling her, but this shows that Tang Xinyuan entered the room less than two minutes after she entered.
Si Jing said that Tang Xinyuan rushed to the room and saw that Ye Qingran was committing a crime against her, but Tang Xinyuan was standing outside early in the morning. This really didn’t make it hard for people to feel that he had ulterior motives and that he did it on purpose.
Si Jing was shocked.
She was also confused and panicked.
Didn’t they say that the video had been deleted? Then why was it uploaded onto the internet?
What should she do?
What should she do now?
She had to look for Tang Xinyuan.
Back then, when Mu Qingxue was being harassed by Ye Qingran, she and Mu Qingxue complained a little to Tang Xinyuan.
Tang Xinyuan said that he wanted to help them teach Ye Qingran a good lesson.
At first, she didn’t agree, but Tang Xinyuan said that it was fine. He was her boyfriend and she believed that he would be able to handle everything.
Now, she wanted to look for Tang Xinyuan. Only Tang Xinyuan could save her.
