Would Cheng Yu betray her?

To be exact, nothing really went out of hand. It just got slightly more exciting for Li Lanni.

A new post made its way to the top searches of the school forum.

[Freshman Li Lanni claims to want to show everyone evidence of Professor Marcus' crimes. She promises to reveal it to the students' board on Monday]

As one would expect, this post exploded in popularity. Everyone was curious about what she was trying to do and how she was planning to deal with this matter.

Who, among the students, didn't suspect that man? They were just too scared to voice it out because they did not have evidence.

However, seeing that someone was readily taking that risk, they gladly cheered for her.

They couldn't wait to see that man behind bars if it was possible to have him locked up.

However, some of them, like Nina, regarded the post scornfully. "Tsk... she'll only have herself killed."

In this world, there were people you couldn't offend... and once you offended them, you might not be able to keep your head. This Li Lanni didn't seem to be able to realize this.

And what was she doing, announcing her plan to the whole world? Wasn't she scared it might bounce back and explode in her face?

While Ji Feifei let out a bout of evil laughter.

"Oh Lanni... my dear stupid friend. Just when I was running out of ideas to eliminate you. Watch me use this case to finish you off.

Li Lanni's room.

"How?"

The girl was so shocked her eyes were about to roll right out.

"How could this be? I didn't tell anyone."

Li Lanni sat on her bed, deep in thought.

She suddenly stood up. "That's right. I told someone. Wait, I told two people.

Cheng Yu and Nina."

Of course, Jin Shanshan held a lot of hatred and bitterness. She wouldn't ruin the plan that would be the first step of her revenge. Besides, she could no longer access the school forum since she had been expelled.

Aside from her... Nina.

Wait, that wasn't half possible. Nina was too much against minding other people's business. She definitely didn't have the time.

She was only left with one possibility... Cheng Yu?

That was right. The only person who knew what she was doing from the start was Cheng Yu. She also knew every step of her plan.

Would she really betray her?

She clenched her fists, wheeling her breathing back to normal with a lot of difficulty.

Right. She didn't trust her from the start.

From the beginning, she had only included Cheng Yu in her plan so she could test her loyalty.

This only proved that she didn't trust her to start with. Why then, was she so disappointed?

The next day was Saturday, so Li Lanni would not need to go to school.

Actually, this whole matter blowing up like it did wasn't exactly a bad thing.

The only downside to it was that it gave the lurking villains, Ji Feifei and Professor Marcus, time to retaliate. It would have been better if they were simply caught unaware.

But, never mind. As long as she had witnesses and evidence, it wouldn't mater what that duo did.

While she thought about this, a phone call came through.

"Lanni, are you free? Let's go shopping together."

Li Lanni felt a wave of disgust rush into her heart. What was Cheng Yu doing, acting as though nothing had happened?

In this way, what was the difference between her and that scheming Ji Feifei?

"I'm busy."

Cheng Yu felt disheartened. As expected Li Lanni suspected her to be the one behind that post on the school forum and was angry because of that.

"Lanni, I didn't reveal your plan. Do you believe me?"

"Do I have reason to?" Li Lanni was sarcastic in her remark.

Cheng Yu bit her lip, feeling extremely wronged. "When we were talking about it, I thought I saw someone following us suspiciously."

Li Lanni gripped the phone tightly. That's right... she had felt it too. She only thought it to be one of her paranoia spells and ignored it.

But now that Cheng Yu mentioned it, it did seem possible.

Although there was nothing to prove that whoever was following them was definitely behind that post, there was nothing to prove that Cheng Yu was responsible either.

"I'm truly going to be busy tomorrow. I have to take extra lessons on the weekends to make up for what I have missed all these months as well as what I have forgotten."

Cheng Yu bit her lip, understanding this. Lanni had mentioned this in passing before. She still had an exam to pass, if she wanted to prove her ability.

Thinking about it, this friend of hers did attract a lot of trouble.

Was that promise really necessary?

"Lanni, I can help you with your studies sometimes." She offered, earning a grunt of consent from Li Lanni.

"Let's go shopping on Sunday."

In the end, she had thought it best to give Cheng Yu a chance. Perhaps she was just strange, but wasn't a bad person overall.

After all, she would also want to be given a chance if she got caught up in a misunderstanding of this sort.

Feeling more at ease, she took a book to read.
