chapter 54

Qin Shu thought that Yang Bin would struggle for his pitiful self-esteem for at least two more days, but she didn’t expect that she had overestimated him.

The next day, Yang Bin was once again brought over to her by the two police officers.

“I accepted your first condition.” He stood in front of Qin Shu with a haggard face, like a woman from a respectable family in ancient times who had been humiliated, and Qin Shu was the villain who forced him into prostitution.

Qin Shu raised her eyebrows slightly and said leisurely, “I still have a second condition. You can listen to it first. If you can accept both of my conditions, then it’s not too late to do the first condition I put forward.”

Yang Bin clenched his fist, then relaxed it, and he said dejectedly, “I’m listening.”

He had no way out now. If he still didn’t know how to behave in such a desperate situation, there would definitely be no good end for him!

Qin Shu smiled and said, “The second condition is that from tomorrow onwards, you must keep a distance of ten meters from me.”

“What? You…” Yang Bin’s face flushed and his eyes widened round.

This was too insulting!

If he agreed to this condition, he would have to avoid Qin Shu and stay ten meters away from her in the future as long as he met her.

What did this vicious woman think of him?

Yang Bin was so angry that he gasped for breath. The more he looked at Qin Shu, the more he felt that Qin Shu’s face was extremely vicious. She was simply a base person who bullied people by taking advantage of other’s power!

Qin Shu didn’t care what he thought. Anyway, she didn’t want to see this kind of idiot again. She was annoyed every time she saw him, so she simply used this method to make him disappear.

She said in a leisurely manner, “Yang Bin, if you agree to both these conditions, I’ll sign the letter of understanding for you. If you don’t agree, I’d have to bother the two police officers and ask them to bring you back to be educated by the government.”

Being educated by the government was to detain him for three months and leave behind a criminal record for the rest of his life.

Yang Bin couldn’t stand it for even three days, not to mention three months!

He had had it enough!

Thinking of the days he was locked up in the detention center where life was worse than death, Yang Bin didn’t care about his self-esteem. He gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, I agree!”

He thought that he’d better get himself out of that place first, then explain to Tang Anru.

Tang Anru was very considerate, and she would definitely understand him.

After Yang Bin agreed to the conditions, he took over his phone from the police officer.

He had never missed his phone so much. He immediately wanted to call his family and even wanted to secretly have a sound recording. Then after he was released, he could use it as evidence to expose that Qin Shu and the police joined hands to persecute him.

However, the police officer was not an idiot. After discovering Yang Bin’s intentions, the police officer immediately warned him, “It’s best to put away your other thoughts. Otherwise, it won’t be as simple as detaining you for three months.”

Yang Bin had no choice but to obediently send the long text that Qin Shu had formerly prepared to his circle of friends on WeChat.

After sending it, the police officer quickly took away his phone.

“Where’s the letter of understanding?” Yang Bin couldn’t wait to ask Qin Shu, his eyes filled with anxiety.

Qin Shu said slowly like she was deliberately torturing him, “Don’t worry, I need to see how your friends react first.”

The long text for apology was written by Qin Shu in advance, which explained in Yang Bin’s tone about the detailed process of Yang Bin’s instigating others to insult her.

Qin Shu described Yang Bin’s motive as that he held a personal grudge against her. Finally, after being educated by the police, he deeply realized his mistake and specially sent a long apology text to Qin Shu.

Less than a minute after the apology text was sent, many people commented below and asked Yang Bin what happened. Most of these people were his classmates. They all expressed that they did not expect him to do such a thing. Was he joking?

“I heard about this matter from classmates who are interns in the military industry group. It seems that Qin Shu was chased by those women and was beaten up, then it caused a car accident.”

“Yang Bin, no matter what, you couldn’t slander Qin Shu as a mistress. How terrifying it is for a woman.”

“As a man, you actually used such an unscrupulous method to deal with Qin Shu. I don’t even dare to say that you are my classmate!”

“If it weren’t for you, Qin Shu wouldn’t have a car accident, right? I think you must bear the main responsibility.”

…

A lot of Yang Bin’s classmates commented below the long text, but Yang Bin never replied.

Everyone knew that Yang Bin and Tang Anru were very close. Seeing that Yang Bin didn’t reply, they all turned to ask Tang Anru.

During this period of time, Tang Anru was busy reviewing for the intern exam of the military industry group. Ever since she couldn’t get through to Yang Bin’s phone last time, she hadn’t paid much attention to it. At this moment, a lot of people suddenly popped out and asked her about him, she felt it very unusual.

Tang Anru didn’t answer these people in a hurry. She checked the chat notes in the school group and soon figured out the whole story.

She hurriedly called Yang Bin, and the phone was answered after three rings.

“Yang Bin, I finally got through to you. I haven’t seen you for a few days, and I can’t get through to you. I’m worried about you…”

“Hello, this is a policeman. Yang Bin is under investigation by the police. It’s not convenient for him to answer your phone.”

Tang Anru did not expect that the other end of the phone was a policeman. She was startled in her heart. Just as she was about to ask about Yang Bin’s situation, the phone was hung up.

When she called again, the warning tone sounded and said the phone had been turned off.

Tang Anru frowned slightly and finally realized that the matter was serious.

At this time, it happened to be at dusk towards the end of a day’s work, and the other interns from the same school in the office also discovered Yang Bin’s long apology text. This quickly caused a small commotion, and even the other colleagues knew about it.

Back at that time, when everyone was walking out of the military industry group’s building after work, they happened to bump into Qin Shu being insulted and beaten up by those women. They didn’t expect that someone had instigated those women to do that!

“Qin Shu is so pitiful. If Yang Bin hadn’t instigated those women to do that, she wouldn’t have been hit in a car accident.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, I saw her being hit that far and there was a big pool of blood. I don’t know how she is now.”

“Yoh, two days ago, you said that Qin Shu deserved it. You even said that she was shameless to be a mistress. Today, you’re sympathizing with her. You change your faces so quickly!”

“That’s right. Some people are proven wrong and humiliating themselves now, aren’t they?”

“Rather than being jealous of Qin Shu’s ability of work, it’s better to improve yourselves and strive for an opportunity to become the formally hired employee of the company.”

Some colleagues in the office didn’t like those interns who claimed to be very superior because they graduated from the national defense university. This time, these colleagues seized the opportunity to ruthlessly diss them without showing politeness at all.

A few of the interns were mocked so much that their faces flushed. A girl of them caught a glimpse of Tang Anru who was sitting there and keeping out of the affair, then a strange expression quickly flashed in her eyes.

She snorted, “It’s not us who said that Qin Shu was a mistress. Tang Anru, you and Qin Shu are good friends. You know her best. Didn’t you say that she was close to someone in the school two days ago?”

That someone was the president of the school’s calligraphy association who had a girlfriend. He and Qin Shu got along quite well and had much to talk about, so rumors of Qin Shu stepping in other people’s romantic relationships spread.

“That’s right,” another intern said, “Tang Anru, clearly it’s you who said those words.”

“Tang Anru, don’t tell us about the things that you don’t have evidence in the future, lest everyone thinks we’re talking nonsense.”

The seniors in the office seemed to be laughing faintly when they watched a group of interns who thought they were very smart and were having an internal strife.

They turned to look at Tang Anru then. Tang Anru slightly lowered her eyes, and a trace of apology appeared on her gentle and beautiful face. She said softly, “Sorry, I made you all misunderstand. I have never said anything like Qin Shu being a mistress. I only said that she has a free temperament and likes playing with boys. I didn’t expect that I would be misunderstood.”

“Hey, what’s going on with you guys? You gossip about everything yourselves, but you’re blaming Tang Anru now? Aren’t you embarrassed?” Little Su stood out and took the initiative to hold Tang Anru’s arm, staring at the two women who accused Tang Anru.

As for Tang Anru, she lowered her eyes obediently and gently bit her pink lips without arguing. She just smiled bitterly.

Anyone saw this would feel that she had been wronged and bullied by others. The look of her enduring something silently was truly pitiful.

Sure enough, everyone turned to go against the two women. For a time, the undercurrent in the office surged up and it didn’t stop until the Secretary General came out of the office.

“What are you arguing about? If you have the strength, you might as well work overtime!” The Secretary General’s expression was not very sunny, and he scanned his gaze over at those interns sternly. “All the interns, come to the small meeting room immediately!”

What’s wrong?

The dozen or so interns looked at each other with fear, not understanding why the Secretary General suddenly asked them to go to the meeting room. Could it be that it was a surprise exam?

Everyone was anxious. Only Tang Anru was calm and she said gently, “Perhaps Secretary General has some large files that need us two groups to finish together.”

“If only that was the case.” Everyone was cheerful again.

After entering the meeting room, the interns saw that the Secretary General sat on the wide and big rotating chair in front of them, with his body leaning against the back of the chair. He asked them coldly, “Do you know what I called you for?”

Everyone shook their heads, revealing blank expressions.

The Secretary General sneered. “Slap!” He threw the pen on the table and said, “Some time ago, someone put some vulgar things in the documents you handed in, and one of the documents was sent to the leader!”

Little Su rolled her eyes and suddenly said, “Secretary General, I know this matter. I was framed by someone! And Tang Anru, she was also set up by someone!”

The Secretary General looked at Tang Anru and said, “Tell me what the matter was.”

Tang Anru said softly, “Yes, Secretary General. No, I wasn’t set up. I was careless and made the mistake by accident.”

Little Su revealed an unsatisfactory look on her face. “Tang Anru, when will you stop defending Qin Shu? She was obviously the one who was jealous of you and plotted against you. She secretly put those porn novels in your documents, but you said you were careless, who would believe it?”

Tang Anru acted like someone had seen through her mind and her face revealed a trace of embarrassment and panic. She hurriedly said, “No, Little Su, you remember it wrong. Secretary General, Qin Shu is not this kind of person. She did not set me up. Everything is a misunderstanding. You have to believe Qin Shu.”

No matter what, in the eyes of the outsiders, she looked like she was hiding something for Qin Shu, and this made everyone not only not believe Qin Shu, but even more suspicious that Qin Shu was the one who did the wrong thing.

“It wasn’t Qin Shu,” the Secretary General said with certainty.

Little Su said suspiciously, “Secretary General, why wasn’t it her? You can’t just rely on your instincts to trust someone. Some people are very good at disguising themselves.”

The Secretary General said, “I have already found out the one who was behind these small tricks.”

Everyone was stunned with different expressions on their faces.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and no one dared to speak.

Little Su secretly glanced at Tang Anru. Cold sweat appeared in her palms. The Secretary General’s words came from above her head, “I hope that person will take the initiative to stand out and admit the mistake.”

No one spoke, nor did anyone stand out.

Everyone lowered their eyes and stared at the table with the same thought in their minds: Qin Shu was lying in the hospital, how could she stand up?

All of them firmly believed that the person was Qin Shu.
