“He didn’t do anything to me yesterday, but he insisted I marry him. He even publicly announced our relationship. Anyway, Qiao Chen and I are only faking our marriage. After all, he doesn’t like me. After using me, he should let me go.”

Although her thoughts were clear, Xu Wan somehow felt a little sad when she said those words.

“What? Marry him? How can that be! I won’t let you marry him. Wan Wan, don’t worry. I’ll pick you up now. I won’t let him bully you!” As soon as Han Bing finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Xu Wan could not stop him in time.

Han Bing wouldn’t act recklessly, right? Xu Wan thought uneasily.

In the evening, Xu Wan received a call from Qiao Chen. “Go downstairs.”

It was still the same commanding tone.

Xu Wan was already used to Qiao Chen’s behavior. She packed up and left.

Qiao Chen was sitting in the front passenger seat of the car. He was still wearing the same grumpy expression.

He had gone to investigate the surveillance footage of the day of Xu Wan’s exam. He noticed a girl had collided into Xu Wan before she entered the examination hall. The scenes that followed were in the surveillance camera’s blind spot, so he could not see the girl’s face at all.

Nevertheless, Qiao Chen wasn’t an ordinary person. He got all the surveillance footage from T University’s campus that day. Then, he screened them one by one, and finally found that girl.

When the girl was brought in front of Qiao Chen, she hadn’t understood the severity of the matter. Qiao Chen didn’t waste his time on her and immediately said, “Who asked you to frame Xu Wan? You’d better answer honestly. Otherwise, you’ll be expelled immediately.”

“Li Fang, tell the truth. Don’t try to deceive Master Qiao, do you hear me!” the vice-principal standing beside Qiao Chen said sternly.

Qiao Chen’s influence spread throughout the entire capital. Even the principal of T University had to show him some face.

The girl named Li Fang was trembling all over and her face was pale. She didn’t expect Xu Wan to have such a noble person backing her up. If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have accepted the 200,000 yuan to frame Xu Wan.

“I’ll say it, I’ll say it all. Please don’t let the school expel me!” Li Fang was frightened to tears. “A few days ago, someone came up to me and asked me to do something. It was very simple. I could get 200,000 yuan from it. My family was short of money, so I agreed. I don’t even know who Xu Wan is. I didn’t want to frame her, either. I didn’t expect things to be so serious!”

Qiao Chen was not in the mood to listen to Li Fang bawl her eyes out. He asked bluntly, “Who contacted you?”

“I don’t know. The other party used a public number and a voice changer. Someone transferred the money directly to my bank account via the school bank card account.”

School bank card?

Qiao Chen frowned.

“I’ve told you everything I know. Please let me go. I won’t do it again!” Li Fang pleaded with a trembling voice as she stared at Qiao Chen’s gloomy expression.

“Go back and write a statement saying that you deliberately framed Xu Wan. Then, publicly apologize to her.” Qiao Chen said mercilessly while glancing at Li Fang coldly.

“But, I…” Li Fang did not expect to be punished like this. She was horrified. If she admitted she was the one who framed Xu Wan, wouldn’t she be the one who would be condemned?

The vice-principal standing beside Qiao Chen chided sternly, “You know fear too? When you framed her, why didn’t you think about how she would be humiliated and vilified? She can take all this, but you can’t? You should have a taste of how Xu Wan was wronged by others!”

As Li Fang walked out with a ghastly face, the vice-principal said to Qiao Chen, “I’ll check the bank account.”

Qiao Chen’s fingers tapped on the table lightly, bringing a dangerous and oppressive aura.

“If I’m not mistaken, it has something to do with that examiner.”

Qiao Chen was used to scheming in the business world. Such a small scheme then could not deceive him. He quickly thought of how the other party had framed Xu Wan.

The vice-principal came back a while later and said that there was indeed something wrong with the male examiner.

“I’ve already brought him here.”

Before the male examiner entered the room, he knew it was definitely not something good. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still frightened by Qiao Chen’s strong and terrifying aura when he saw him. His face instantly turned pale.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I didn’t frame Xu Wan. I transferred money to that girl… just because I like her!” The male examiner was much more stubborn than Li Fang. He probably knew that even if he admitted to his crime, he wouldn’t end up in a pleasant state, so he resisted desperately.

Qiao Chen sneered. “You like her, right?”

A stack of documents fell in front of the man. “I’ve already recorded what you said just now. I also have information about your wife and children. If you don’t mind letting your wife know that you’re in a relationship with your student and that you’re having an affair; if you don’t mind ruining your reputation in school, then I naturally won’t mind fulfilling your right to pursue love.”

Qiao Chen mocked..
