Chapter 603: Chapter 614 Chen Hao’s Discovery

Chen Hao understood Ma Xiaonan’s temperament—if she could solve the problem on her own—or even if she couldn’t—she would not seek help from others.

In addition to that, she already felt guilty that Chen Hao gave her a sum of money.

No matter what problems she encountered, she wouldn’t ask for Li Zhenguo’s help anymore.

What a silly girl.

Chen Hao drove Ma Xiaonan to Jin Ling High School.

After parking, both of them walked to the school.

“Hello, Miss Ma!” Just then, a female student who hadn’t gone home met Ma Xiaonan.

She must be her student.

Wearing a set of clean uniforms, she was quite good looking, but she lacked confidence.

She didn’t dare to raise her head even when she spoke to people.

Not just that, her school bag was quite old as well.

“Meng Xi, why haven’t you gone home?” Ma Xiaonan asked concernedly.

Meng Xi lowered her head even more.

“Teacher, I… The school management asked me to stay back to fill in a report that you have never left the school on the day before yesterday. They said it’s a form of evidence. I’m really sorry, teacher! I’m sure that you’re not the one who took the money!” Meng Xi eyes were red and puffy. When she reached the end of her little speech, her voice was as small as a mosquito buzz.

Ma Xiaonan smiled and carressed her hair. “Don’t worry, Meng Xi, what you said is true. I won’t blame you. Your results are quite unstable recently and the finals is coming soon. You have to adjust your mood and focus on the exams, okay? It’s getting late, hurry back now!”

Meng Xi nodded and left the school.

Just then, Chen Hao removed his sight on her. No one had realized that his eyes had a glint of light.

“She’s the most well-behaved student in class, and also the most hardworking. I’m willing to stay back and give her extra lessons, as she works really hard. But, since last month, she wasn’t in a really good mood, and this affected her results,” Ma Xiaonan said worriedly, “Maybe don’t focus on her results so much? If she’s a good student, as a teacher, you should care about her life too. Maybe she was in a dilemma, or maybe something happened at home?” Chen Hao smiled at Xiaonan.

“Are you well informed about the teaching profession?” Ma Xiaonan asked with a smile.

“Of course! I was a biology teacher for a short while—the kind of teacher who only read from textbooks!”

“Hah!”

Ma Xiaonan laughed at his jokes.

Both of them then reached the headmaster’s office.

Even before entering his office, they heard a woman spewing all sorts of different accusations in the office.

“It must be her, Mr. Policeman! I think you don’t even have to investigate this matter. I swear with my career, there’s no one else who would do that. Now, we even have a witness, and the evidence is the new house that she’d just bought. A while ago, I was wondering why Ma Xiaonan was willing to spend so much money to buy the house. I think she was already eyeing this sum of money at that time. She planned this in detail. You don’t have to look into it anymore—just arrest her and put her in jail! Shoot her if you have to!”

“Miss Yang Yan, please be quiet. We need evidence before convicting someone!” Both police officers looked at Yang Yan exasperatedly.

At this time, Chen Hao and Ma Xiaonan entered the headmaster’s office.

Yang Yan looked like she was in her twenties. According to Ma Xiaonan, they joined this school at the same time.

Xiaonan took the official examination, but Yang Yan got in because her husband was quite powerful.

Initially, Yang Yan was given some important tasks and positions as well.

But, after sometime, it became obvious that one was more capable than the other.

Hence, the management was more willing to give more important tasks to Ma Xiaonan as she was more capable.

Yang Yan’s jealousy was ignited.

To add fuel to fire, she heard that the boys in their school chose Ma Xiaonan as the prettiest lady in the school.

What?

Upon hearing that, Yang Yan went berserk. She felt that as long as Ma Xiaonan was alive, her life would be shrouded in total darkness, without any glimpse of light.

“Hmph, why were you late? I thought you were afraid of going to prison, and ran away in the night. Ha!

You even brought a man? What? Trying to scare people off? Look at the state he’s in!” Yang Yan said.

Ma Xiaonan ignored her and walked to the police and the headmaster to explain what had happened.

They did not draw any conclusion. The takeaway of their conversation was that the police would still come to school the next day, and Ma Xiaonan had to be prepared to meet them whenever they asked her to.

Then, they left.

“Hmph! Even if there’s no conclusion, don’t think that it’s over! Let me tell you, Ma Xiaonan, I used to think that you were quite elegant. But I never knew you’re such a hypocrite—stealing the students’

scholarship! Is your conscience dead? Someone like you even got nominated to be the most excellent teaching staff? Bleh!” Yang Yan insulted Ma Xiaonan ruthlessly.

“You know very well yourself about what’s going on. Be careful, or you might be throwing a stone at your own head!”

At this moment, Chen Hao smiled at Yang Yan coldly.

Looking into Chen Hao’s eyes, Yang Yan suddenly blanched and gulped arduously.

Ma Xiaonan was perplexed. Why did Chen Hao say something like this? Did he suspect that Yang Yan was the one who stole the money and blamed it on me?

But it’s impossible because Yang Yan went on a work trip during those few days, and she didn’t know that I'd taken the money out.

Even mom didn’t know when exactly I took the money out. I’m the only one who knew.

Yang Yan accused me only after the money was lost.

“Y-You… What do you mean by ‘throw a stone on my own feet’? You have to explain this to me today!

Or else I won’t let you leave the school!” Yang Yan said anxiously.

“I think you understood what I mean. I’ll show everyone the truth tomorrow. At that time, I hope someone won't shed any tears!” After speaking, Chen Hao left with Ma Xiaonan without another word.

A cruel look, however, flitted past Yang Yan’s eyes before she ran outside to make a call.

“Darling, I’m in trouble. I have no idea where Ma Xiaonan found such a guy. He is getting in my way.

What should I do?” Yang Yan asked.

“Don’t worry. I’ll look up his background right now!”

“Good! This time I’m going to get Ma Xiaonan for good! As for the student, you think of a way to shut her up,” Yang Yan said viciously.

“Everything is within our control!”

Yang Yan then hung up.

When Chen Hao left the school, he did not drive back to Ma Xiaonan’s house.

“Hao, where are you going?” Ma Xiaonan asked.

“I wanted to ask you about your student, Meng Xi. Where does she live?” Chen Hao asked.

“Meng Xi? You’re going to speak to her? She’s a good student. Even if she were to testify, she would speak nothing but the truth, and personally, I want her to speak the truth too. I don’t want her to spin lies for me so that her conscience will be free!” Ma Xiaonan said.

“I know she is a good student, but she’s encountered something very troublesome. If she takes another step forward, she might plunge into a deep abyss. Now, where does she live?” Chen Hao asked.
