I can't do this

At the same time, in Feng Ji International.

Behind the huge, white, curved office desk, the man typed away on his laptop, his long, slender fingers elegantly flying over the keyboard.

He frowned and, reclining in his chair, he ripped the tie off his neck and fondled open the first button of his white shirt.

At this moment, Qiao Luna walked in.

"Boss, the..."

When her eyes met the scene of her boss ripping open a button of his shirt, she paused.

She was not drawn to the sliver of his collarbone revealed by the shirt or the slender fingers hovering above the second button but to the frown on the man's face.

Jeez! Was that really her boss? He looked so scary today! Did he get dumped?

"Do you have something to say?" Ji Xiehan's tone could not conceal his annoyance.

Qiao Luna brought the documents in her hands, trembling. She placed the whole stack of them beside his computer. "Old Master Ji wants you to check through these projects and clinch the one you find most suitable."

"Hm." Ji Xiehan grunted, obviously disapproving of his father. Qiao Luna was just an assistant that had not been working in Feng Ji International for too long. Even he didn't dare to entrust her with anything slightly confidential. What was his father thinking, letting her handle such classified information?

"Do you have anything else to say?" He raised his head quizically because Qiao Luna was still standing there as though waiting for something.

"Y-yes." She gulped, knowing that she couldn't escape this. If she had a choice, she would rather not report this kind of news.

"It's about miss Li Lanni. Apparently, she's got some dirt on one of the professors in B City University and wants to expose it to the school management. The meeting should have started already."

Ji Xiehan who was already annoyed pinched his nose bridge. "Quite the troublemaker, huh. She didn't pass off to me as one to ruffle feathers when she can choose not to."

"Apparently, this professor wronged her before and it almost ended in Miss Li Lanni earning an expulsion."

"Why didn't you say this before?"

"The school forum of B City University is quite sealed off from the outside world. I couldn't get a hint of anything until I planted someone to tell me if anything happened to Miss Li Lanni." Qiao Luna explained, then brought out the main point when her boss didn't show any reaction to her words whatsoever.

"You previously asked me to follow Miss Ji and report every suspicious move, right? I... I found something."

"What is it?"

"Miss Ji... um..."

In the end, Qiao Luna couldn't find the right words. She wiped off the beads of cold sweat on her forehead using a handkerchief.

One had to admit that it was less awkward to walk into people having sex than to tell one's boss that his sister was having an illicit affair with a married professor; almost old enough to be her father.

Not only that, the kind of things she did using the Ji family as a shield were quite appaling.

She couldn't bring herself to say a word and instead pulled out the file at the bottom of those she had just given to Ji Xiehan, the one that did not contain any business matters, then opened it for him to see.

...

At this time, Li Lanni was anxious but she tried to keep calm.

She was a little scared; everyone would be if they were trying to uncover such a thing. After all, it could very well backfire and push her to the flames if she didn't handle it well enough.

But on the bright side, if she really handled it well, she would kill three birds with one stone.

In the conference room, no one wanted to waste their time. They went straight to the point.

"Li Lanni, you claim to have evidence of Professor Marcus assaulting his students. Can you present it right away?" The Chancellor spoke up, glancing at the nervous little girl.

Li Lanni expected them to be this straightforward. They didn't have time to mince on words. She didn't spare a look at the lecherous man sitted next to the dean and acting like all this had nothing to do with him. "Yes. One of the students he molested is here to bear witness." Once she spoke, she glanced in the direction of the door, making everyone follow her gaze as though instructed to do so.

A tall girl walked in. She was wearing simple clothes and her hair was combed back neatly.

Although she still looked young and delicate, it felt wrong to assume her as one of the students.

As soon as she walked in, her blazing eyes glared at a certain man sitting beside the dean. Her gaze lingered on him for a slight second before she introduced herself. "I'm Jin Shanshan, a former student of this university and in this matter, a victim."

There was nothing wrong with what she said, but Li Lanni suddenly felt her head throbbing. Why did she have a bad feeling...

Everyone was waiting to hear what Jin Shanshan had to say though they could pretty much guess what they were going to hear.

The girl finally spoke after making them wait almost to the limit of their patience.

"When I was a student here, I wasn't good with my scores. Everyone knew that.

Then a professor showed his concern and asked to speak to me in his office.

Who knew that he was too 'concerned', huh?"

Li Lanni wasn't pleased with her choice of words. However, it was already good enough that she was willing to talk so Li Lanni kept calm.

Never would she have expected...

Just as Jin Shanshan kept them wondering what she was driving at, she suddenly burst into tears, biting her lips.

She looked in Li Lanni's direction with an aggrieved expression, chocking. "Lanni, sorry. I can't do this."
