The two men were at the verge of attacking Qin Zhenzhen. Seeing that someone was defending her, Honglian relaxed and decided to make some crying sound instead.
Qin Zhenzhen was not afraid either. She believed that these two men should be working for Madame of the Marquis’ Mansion, but they would not disclose their true identities.
At that moment, Qin Silong forcefully inserted himself into the scene, his expression icy and determined.
“I will see who dares to bully my sister!”
Su Qing and Su Qing quickly followed suit, joining the commotion.
“Third Sister-in-law, what’s happening?”
The brothers had overheard the entire story, though they were still uncertain about the full picture.
However, they were well aware that if their third brother’s book was indeed found in the possession of a prostitute, it would be a highly unfavorable situation.
Realizing that Qin Zhenzhen was outnumbered, the two men exchanged glances with Honglian and motioned for her to leave. They quietly departed from the crowd.
Honglian attempted to slip away, but Qin Zhenzhen firmly pulled her back. “You’re not going anywhere until everything is clarified!”
Honglian erupted into a fit of tantrum, collapsing to the ground and sobbing. The two men who had previously left returned, compelled by a sense of justice.
“You can’t bully a defenseless girl like this!”
“She returned the book out of kindness.’
The two men had already recognized Qin Zhenzhen and her family, yet they couldn’t comprehend how this chubby girl had single-handedly unraveled the entire situation.
Was it merely a coincidence, or….
But they truly would not reveal their own identities. Their job was to help Honglian.
Qin Zhenzhen snorted in response. “Kind? She’s evil! I believe she’s trying to frame my husband! ”
The students from West Mountain College erupted into a frenzy of discussions.
“Is she Su Bin’s wife?”
“What is she doing here?”
In that moment, Honglian had a sudden realization that this chubby girl standing before her was indeed Su Bin’s wife.
Seizing the opportunity, she countered, “Ah, I see now. You knew I had Su Bin’s book, so you deliberately knocked it down and erased the name. You were afraid your husband would be involved with a woman from a brothel, jeopardizing his standing in the college…”
Qin Zhenzhen’s voice grew even louder. “Ah, I understand! You’re here to sabotage my husband’s chances of success!”
“My husband has no ill will towards you. Who put you up to this?”
“My husband’s future is at stake, and we will report this to the authorities!”
Honglian, flustered by her own mistakes and lacking the eloquence of Qin Zhenzhen, felt the secret on the verge of being exposed. Sensing this, the two men glared at Honglian and discreetly departed from the scene.
Qin Silong chose not to follow them, aware that their presence would certainly draw attention.
He and Zhenzhen maintained their facade of ignorance.
At that moment, Su Bin was summoned forward, his expression cold and composed.
He had already grasped the situation. It was clear to him that someone was deliberately orchestrating events to prevent him from taking the examination.
A realization struck him—last year, someone had likely spiked his food with laxatives, causing his diarrhea.
Who was behind these attempts to obstruct his path towards becoming a Cultivated Talent?
When Su Bin emerged, he understood the implication behind Qin Zhenzhen’s words.
Without acknowledging Qin Zhenzhen, he proceeded to examine the book in question.
The onlookers inquired, “Su Bin, is this your book?”
Su Bin carefully turned to the second page and let out a sigh of relief when he realized that his name was illegible.
“No, this book does not belong to me.”
Only a fool would confess to owning the book under these circumstances!
The teachers collectively exhaled in relief.
Su Bin, being the most exceptional student in their college, was someone they desperately wanted to protect from disqualification.
Just then, Yang Gan received the news and arrived with his guards.
After acquiring an understanding of the situation, they all headed to the county office, accompanied by the book..
