Chapter 47
“Some students at the junior department will stay after school every Friday to make up missed lessons . But I found these students are very reluctant, even scared of making up classes . Some will be terrified hearing others unintentionally speak the words ‘making up lessons . ’”

Cheng Yan led Ming Shu to the junior department . “The head of the junior department is Pan Zhiguo, who is having an affair with Shi Yaxin . I followed him several times . Before, when you saw me in the school, I was trailing him . And the two voices you heard that second time, it was Pan Zhiguo and Shi Yaxin . ”
Cheng Yan finished talking, but then found Ming Shu was eating with rapt attention, not listening to him at all .
“Stop eating, we’re about to arrive at the junior department,” Cheng Yan reminded her .
Ming Shu looked up and put away the snack . “What kind of dirty business did you find them doing?”
“… Nothing yet . ” Sometimes Pan Zhiguo and Shi Yaxin went to the old teaching building, but he found they were just having secret trysts .
Under the amused gaze of Ming Shu, Cheng Yan felt somehow a little awkward . He had been investigating this matter for some time, but failed to make any significant progress .
It was Friday and the school had been closed for the weekend holiday . All the doors in the junior department were locked . Ming Shu and Cheng Yan climbed over the wall to get in .
It seemed the security guards here were more numerous than in the senior department . Before walking further, they met two security guards patrolling around the school .
School was out now, but the security guards were still patrolling, which was too unscientific .
“It’s over there . ” Cheng Yan pointed at a teaching building . The students were all making up lessons in that building .
“Isn’t that the library?” They made up lessons in the library instead of using classrooms, were they out of their minds?
“It is . Classes are made up in the library every week . There’s only one entrance, which is guarded, so I haven’t entered,” Cheng Yan explained in a whisper .
The students were still in there when it grew dark . Ming Shu crouched in the flowers while eating the WantWant Crunchy Rice Balls . She was a little impatient as a result of hunger .

Her snacks were eaten up .
Forget about this, I’m going to look for some food .
Ming Shu stood up and was about to leave . Cheng Yan pulled her back by the wrist . “Shh!”
Some students started to come out of the library . Most of them walked toward the dormitory building in silence . The atmosphere was particularly depressed .
Following the students, Shi Yaxin left the library with a stack of textbooks in her arms . Some slow students were frightened to see her, like mice running into a cat . They hurried to catch up with the students further ahead .
“Follow her . ” Ming Shu stared at Cheng Yan’s hand which was pulling on her clothes and said, “Let go of me . ”
Cheng Yan calmly released her clothes . “I’ve followed her but didn’t find anything . ”
“That’s because you’re stupid . ”
Cheng Yan felt it was a mistake to agree to work together with Ming Shu . He thought she wanted to follow Shi Yaxin to find some clues, but it turned out—
Cheng Yan witnessed Ming Shu back Shi Yazhan into the corner of a dark alley . Was it too late for him to wear a silk stocking on his head?
“Are you students of the senior department?”

Great, it’s too late now .
“What do you want?” Shi Yaxin was fairly calm . “If the school finds out you’re harassing a teacher in the dark, do you know what the consequences will be?”
“I don’t know . ” Ming Shu studied Shi Yaxin from head to toe and answered with a smiling tone, “Teacher Shi, there’s no need to be nervous . Regardless, you are not a good person either . ”
Not a good person…
“This student… Are you the Lu Meng from the senior department?” Shi Yaxin had a small impression of this girl . She was cute and was an excellent student at the senior department . “What do you mean?”
“You know it very well in your heart, don’t you, Teacher Shi?”
The smile on Ming Shu’s face was too glaring, which made Shi Yaxin feel a bit flustered . Does she know something?
Ming Shu reached out to grab Shi Yaxin’s handbag .
“Student Lu Meng, what are you doing!” Shi Yaxin clutched her handbag tightly . “You are a good student, how can you rob someone?”
“If a teacher can do bad things, why can’t I?” Ming Shu didn’t know what Shi Yaxin did, but she was good at making up things to casually rave about .
“You…” Shi Yaxin felt even more alarmed in her heart . She unintentionally loosened her grip .
Ming Shu put more strength into her own, nabbing Shi Yaxin’s handbag .
Shi Yaxin was startled back to herself, but it was too late to take the bag back .
Ming Shu dug out the cell phone from her handbag . It was locked by fingerprint . Ming Shu then violently forced Shi Yaxin to unlock the phone
There was nothing special in the phone, but several numbers were dialed shortly after school ended .
Ming Shu called one of the numbers .
“Hello? Teacher Shi, my child has gotten home, thank you for your concern . ”
Shi Yaxin leaned against the bumpy wall behind her, her heart pounding uneasily . She didn’t know what the smiling girl in front of her wanted to do, but she had a very bad feeling right then .
Hearing the voice over the phone, Shi Yaxin relaxed a little unreasonably .
Ming Shu dialed three numbers in succession; they were all answered by parents . It seemed Shi Yaxin was confirming whether the students had gotten home .
Just as Ming Shu was about to dial the fourth number, a text message came with a ding dong sound .
“Student Lu Meng, what do you want to do!?” Shi Yaxin roared . “I’m not yourteacher, but I’m a teacher at this school . Aren’t you afraid of me going back to tell the headmaster about this?”
“Well, if so, Teacher Shi has to muster the courage to tell on us . ” Ming Shu smiled and held the phone up before Shi Yaxin .
A picture was shown on the screen, in which a little girl was standing in shadow . Below read a couple of sentences:
Today’s goods were great . Money has been transferred into the account, don’t let me down next week .
The momentum Shi Yaxin just drummed up slowed and weakened as soon as she saw the words . Her face turned pale instantly .
“I don’t know what that is . It must have been sent by mistake . ” Shi Yaxin defended herself in vain .
“Well, maybe the girl happened to be in our school’s uniform and in our school’s library as well . ” Ming Shu spoke in a gentle voice . “Teacher Shi, do you believe that?”
Dim lights shone on Shi Yaxin . With half of her face hidden in darkness, she kept silent at first . But faced with Ming Shu’s inquiry, she started to cry aloud, hands holding her head .
“Teacher Shi, are you feeling pained? You can put an end to this pain yourself . ” The gentle voice of Ming Shu seemed to be bewitching her . It lightly burrowed to the bottom of her heart, planting roots of confession .
Shi Yaxin looked up and stared at the lovely girl opposite her . Those two smiling eyes seemed to carry all of her deepest secrets .
Shi Yaxin was from the countryside . Her family was in poor financial condition . Thus, despite the fact she was admitted to a famous university, ultimately she went to a normal university for her younger brother .
After graduation, she worked in a primary school . The salary was very low . Worse yet, the headmaster was a rogue who repeatedly harassed her . Finally, at a staff gathering, he got her drunk and brutally raped her .
She wanted to eliminate the headmaster, but he had a tough background . In the end, she not only failed to punish him, but was also slandered for seducing him shamelessly . She was submerged in endless criticism .
When she was about to kill herself to prove her innocence, she met Pan Zhiguo, the man who led her onto an even more terrible road .
At first, Pan Zhiguo was good to her . He didn’t mind what happened to her and arranged for her to teach junior students . She also thought she had met a good man . She would chuckle to herself, thinking about how she’d forget the past and live a happy life with Pan Zhiguo .
However, life again chose to play a huge joke on her .
