“Yes, the information shows that Ms. Wang sold off all her assets, and a portion of the cash is currently in Huang Rui’s possession, the guy with dyed blond hair in the video,” Captain Wang said with a bitter smiledle added, “From what we can see at the moment, it is like this.”

Mei Yun didn’t catch the undertone in his words, but he understood one thing: Wang Yue had indeed used such despicable means to drive Mei Shu away!

Did she even realize that Mei Shu was the daughter left behind by the person he loved the most?

She was his own flesh and blood!

Mei Yun was so furious that he picked up a teacup from the table and hurled it at Wang Yue’s head. “Wretched woman, when you come out of prison, I won’t spare you either!”

The teacup shattered upon impact, and Wang Yue’s face was covered in cuts and bruises, with hardly any recognizable features left.

“Why go to such lengths? You’ve forced our hand, so now we have to ask you to come with us to the police station for questioning,” Captain Wang said, waving for two officers to also get Mei Yun into the car.

Wang Yue sat stiffly next to Mei Yun, her eyes fixed on the air, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

As soon as Captain Wang received the investigation results, he informed the school.

The grade director, upon learning the results, was greatly relieved and spread the news to everyone.

With his deliberate and subtle influence, it took less than half a day for all the students and teachers in the school to know that Mei Shu had been framed, and the person behind the frame-up was her stepmother, Wang Yue, Mei Mu’s mother.

In an instant, those who had previously looked down on Mei Shu were ashamed to face her.

When Wen Miao heard the news, she immediately went to find trouble with Li Zhen.

This was an opportunity she couldn’t pass up, and she had no intention of letting Li Zhen, who tried to take advantage of the situation, off the hook!

“Hold on!” Wen Miao just arrived at the entrance of their classroom and saw Li Zhen hurrying toward the restroom.

Li Zhen paused, then turned to glare at her with a displeased expression. “What is it?”

“Have you forgotten what you said before?” Wen Miao didn’t care about his cold demeanor and blocked his path, stepping up to him.”A bet is a bet.You swore up and down that Mei Shu was guilty.What do you have to say now?”

“1 didn’t lie.lt was my uncle who confirmed that the video wasn’t fake!” Li Zhen shouted hoarsely.

The noisy hallway suddenly fell silent, leaving only the echo of Li Zhen’s voice.

Mei Shu arrived in time to see the commotion and, together with Lu Yan, pushed their way through the crowd to see what was happening.

“Are you alright, Miaomiao?”

Mei Shu held her hand and assessed her from top to bottom.

Wen Miao shook her head and said, “What could happen to me? It’s this guy who’s lost his temper. He deliberately shouted at me in a loud voice, but no matter how loud he gets, it won’t change the fact that he was wrong!”

Mei Shu glanced at Li Zhen, her eyes filled with undisguised disgust. “You accused me of wrongdoing with such conviction in the past, and now that the truth has come out, you don’t even have the courage to admit your mistake.Li Zhen, you’re nothing more than a shameless coward!”

Li Zhen was infuriated and his face turned red.”Who are you calling a coward? My uncle won’t be wrong. Maybe it’s your Mei family that used some means to pull strings and get the police to clear your name. The actual truth is something only you know deep in your heart!”

Mei Shu spoke coldly, “My family doesn’t have the power to break the law and use illicit means. It’s you who, even now, refuses to admit your mistake.Li Zhen, you’re a despicable person!”

Li Zhen’s face turned bright red with anger, yet he didn’t know how to refute it.

When he obtained the video, he had it authenticated by his uncle. Upon receiving a positive confirmation, he had developed a deep hatred for Mei Shu.

He didn’t even know why he hated her, but when he saw the video of her being flirtatious with those men, he couldn’t control his jealousy, and even her face became repulsive to him.

He had begun ruthlessly suppressing her at school, making her embarrassing secrets widely known, and publicly distancing himself from her.

It was as if this was the only way his jealousy could be somewhat alleviated.

But fate seemed to be playing a cruel joke on him.

His usually infallible uncle had made a grave mistake this time. When the teachers announced the police investigation results in the classroom, he nearly snapped his pen in half.

What kind of person had he become, the one who had once publicly spread Mei Shu’s embarrassing secrets?

Was he, as Mei Shu described, a despicable coward, or just a pitiable creature consumed by love and hatred?

He didn’t want to be either.

At this moment, there was nothing he wanted more than for what happened in the video to have been real.

Only then could he criticize her from the highest moral standpoint, despise her, and avoid the accusing gaze she now cast upon him.

That gaze felt like knives, slowly and painfully tearing him apart, yet unable to bring him death.

“What do you want?” Li Zhen asked expressionlessly.

Mei Shu raised the corners of her lips slightly..”! heard that you made a bet with Wen Miao, and if you lost, you were supposed to kneel and apologize to

me?”
