Chapter 1439: Old Tricks Repeated, Succeeding Once More

Zichen followed her: "Yuxin, listen to my explanation. If you're still angry after I explain, I'll let you do whatever you want."

"No need. There's no need to explain. I believe what my eyes saw and what my ears heard."

What she saw and heard was that woman looking at him with pitiful eyes, and then Sheng Zichen softened his heart, even helping Lu Feifei escape at the most critical moment!

Still need an explanation?

No need.

The monk may run, but the temple cannot run away; this matter isn't over.

Gu Yuxin left the shopping mall and went to the police station to report the case!

"Why are you only coming now? You should have come the first moment something like this happened," the police officer said.

Gu Yuxin: "I was injured and suffered severe shock. I didn't dare leave the house and would tremble whenever I saw a car. I've only just gotten a little better, which is why I'm here to report it now. Are you going to handle it or not?"

"If you won't handle it, that's fine. I'll go to the media. Many people saw what happened at the time, and I don't believe there's nowhere to seek justice."

Police:...

They couldn't just ignore it.

Although traffic accidents don't have a statute of limitations, it had been many days since the incident, so gathering evidence would certainly not be easy.

Easy or not, that's for later; let's open the case first.

Upon opening the case, they discovered—someone had already reported it!

The person who reported it was named Sheng Zichen, but he had closed the case a day later.

The police asked Gu Yuxin: "Do you know this person named Sheng Zichen?"

Gu Yuxin said stubbornly: "I don't know him."

"You don't know him? But he saved you!"

That was true; at the time, Sheng Zichen had thrown himself over regardless of his own life to save her. If he hadn't thrown himself over, that car wouldn't have stopped!

Thinking of this, Gu Yuxin became even more determined to pursue the matter to the end; she absolutely could not let the bad person go unpunished.

She believed Sheng Zichen was biased toward Lu Feifei, so she insisted even more firmly: "I don't know him. I don't know this person."

"Oh, since you don't know the person who saved you, then you don't know the man and woman in the car either?"

Gu Yuxin:...

She wanted to say she knew Lu Feifei, but if she admitted to knowing Lu Feifei, the police would definitely ask how she knew her and what kind of grudge they had.

Then it would drag Sheng Zichen into it too. That scumbag, that rotten peach blossom—she didn't want to have the slightest connection with him now.

"I don't know them."

"You don't know any of them? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure. I don't know any of them."

The police said: "Since you don't know them, we'll rule out other reasons; it was just an ordinary traffic accident. Leave your contact information, and we will find the other party to compensate you for your medical expenses..."

"Wait a moment, what do you mean?"

Gu Yuxin only then realized that it wasn't as simple as just distancing herself.

Not knowing them meant that Lu Feifei could evade the responsibility she should be held accountable for.

"Officer, I do know the woman in the car, and I also know the person who saved me..." Gu Yuxin gritted her teeth and told them everything.

"Fine, go back and wait. We will give you a satisfactory answer after we investigate."

One week later.

The police station's response came out.

They would compensate Gu Yuxin with five thousand yuan for medical expenses and emotional distress.

Of course, she didn't agree. This result wasn't what she wanted; she wanted the culprit to pay the price for her viciousness!

Seeing that the other party wouldn't let it go, Young Master Qiao ratted out Lu Feifei, clearing his own name completely.

He even claimed that Lu Feifei had threatened him with a small knife, forcing him to do it, and that at the most critical moment, his conscience hadn't completely vanished, so he stepped on the brakes, preventing the worst possible outcome.

Young Master Qiao packaged himself as a good person, pushing all the blame onto Lu Feifei alone, and based on the evidence he provided and the surveillance footage, it did indeed appear that way.

The truth that Lu Feifei had tried every possible way to cover up was still exposed.

She was summoned by the police station to undergo investigation.

The school found out about this incident, and the impact was very bad; the school prepared to issue a disciplinary action of expulsion!

Lu Feifei was in total despair. Attending university was her only chance to change her life; if she were expelled by the school, she would have no chance at all.

She suddenly rushed to the window, pushed it open, and prepared to jump!

The teachers in the office were scared out of their wits.

Fortunately, someone reacted quickly and grabbed Lu Feifei, pulling her back. She didn't struggle, just wept silently.

She said to the counselor: "You can pull me back once, but you can't pull me back a second time. If I am expelled by the school, I won't live."

The threat once again achieved the result she wanted.

After the counselor reported it, the school decided to rescind the expulsion decision, issuing one serious warning and one major demerit instead, but she had to guarantee that no accidents would happen at school.

Not having accidents at school meant: go die somewhere else; why should the school pay for your mistakes?

But they couldn't say it that clearly.

Although she wasn't expelled, the major demerit and the record left at the police station would become a stain on her, one she would have to carry for the rest of her life.

Lu Feifei did not reflect on her own mistakes; instead, she harbored a grudge against Gu Yuxin. She swore that she would be at odds with Gu Yuxin for the rest of her life and would take revenge sooner or later.

Boys' dormitory.

"Zichen, there's a letter for you."

A roommate from the same dorm walked in holding a letter: "It looks like it's from the military."

"Thank you."

Zichen had been lying listlessly on the bed, but upon hearing that a letter had arrived from the military, he immediately perked up.

The letter was written by Litian.

It was a thick one.

However, the contents were not written in a single day, nor was it just one letter; it was a collection of letters written over many days and sent out all at once.

Zichen read it carefully, the corners of his mouth curling up unconsciously; for the first time in many days, a smile appeared on his face.

Litian said that he was doing very well in the military, that he was very happy, and that he had adapted well to life there.

Everyone said that the training during the recruit period was the most grueling, but he did not feel it was hard at all; to him, everything about life in the military was fresh and suited him perfectly.

There was a lot of training, and it was quite different from the military training in school.

During physical training runs, he was able to take first place every single time!

Furthermore, all recruits had to learn to swim; after practicing briefly in the swimming pool, they were taken to the sea for training, spending more than half the day in the seawater... it was exactly to his liking.

As Zichen looked at the words, he could feel Litian's jubilant mood and sense his excitement.

However, after the three-month recruit training, he would be sent to a deserted island.

Others felt resistant toward the deserted island, but he did not; just thinking about being surrounded by water, where he could swim however he pleased, made him feel as if he had returned to his childhood—not only did he have no resistance, he was actually looking forward to it.

The letter spanned over a dozen pages, filled with all sorts of fun things from his training, and also included inquiries about the recent well-being of his grandparents, parents, and siblings.

Litian asked Zichen to apologize to his parents on his behalf, as the decision to join the military was one he had made entirely on his own.

He had not consulted his parents beforehand, and he felt he had been unfilial!

On the very last page, Litian was clearly hesitant, but he still asked how things were progressing between his big brother and Lu Feifei.
