students had already spread the news in their group chat, everyone was curious about who had such clout to draw a crowd of these bigwigs.The fighting ring became increasingly heated for a time, and m...Ripple finally smiled, and said with certainty:

"Thank you, Lao Wu, for your trust in me. No one can blame me for something I didn't do! Let them investigate if they want to."

Okay, class begins!

Yes, Headmaster! All the students return to their own positions.

After Ripples thanked them, she continued with her class.

After class, when she went back to the office, all her female colleagues knew about the news that she had almost been arrested on the spot.

"Teacher Wu, what's going on"

A somewhat gossipy middle-aged female teacher directly asked.

R ripples tossed the textbook onto the table, saying somewhat angrily:

Since the last few alumni gatherings after we returned home, that con man named Hu Qian has been sticking to me like glue, constantly finding excuses to invite me out. I haven't paid him any attention at all.

"I never expected that today, the military police would rush over and say someone was dead, saying that they saw me go to see him. I don't know what kind of grudge it is, why they would want to harm me like this!"

That's also because Teacher Wu was youthful and beautiful, and as a returning student from abroad, she naturally attracted men's attention.

A female teacher around Wu Lianyi's age, who had never studied abroad, was saying some cold words.

"Teacher Sun, you're a female teacher too. Seeing me being misunderstood, aren't you happy Did you spread rumors to the military police" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

The ripples didn't choose to remain silent, but instead bluntly expressed their doubts.

"What evidence do you have! Don't blame others just because you're unlucky yourself"

"What are you talking about Don't you mean I was flirting with men"

That kind of toad, not even worthy of tying my shoes!

The ripples said with disdain.

"You..."

"What are you on about Aren't you just jealous that I have study abroad experience and get more tuition than you!"

Why are you trying to belittle me here I haven't said anything about you making a fool of yourself by trying to impress Ms. Pan and getting rejected. Yet, you're being sarcastic and passive-aggressive here.

Today the Military Police can use fabricated charges to take me away, and tomorrow they can frame you as well!

The last thing Ripples said was to everyone in the office.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

The current situation is precarious. Several factions are vying for power in Pingbei. While the surface appears calm, undercurrents of conflict are swirling. The three sides are engaged in a fierce power struggle.

The only safe haven now is school. If, as Mr. Wu said, this precedent has been set, then who knows who will be the unlucky next one

Ripple finished her words and saw the teachers in the office with a variety of expressions on their faces. This first step of diverting attention had been successful.

She immediately got up and went straight to the teachers' office, knocking and entering. She just happened to see Mr. Pan getting up. Without shying away, she spoke in front of everyone:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"Teacher Pan, later the military police might contact you to verify the truth about switching classes with me today. I'll trouble you then."

Pan Wenbin also didn't expect that after changing classes, there would be such a troublesome thing. But this was the fact, and under everyone's watchful eyes, so he nodded and said with a smile:

"Teacher Wu, please rest assured, I will tell the truth. They haven't reached the point of calling a deer a horse."

"Thank you, Teacher Pan! I'm here to remind everyone to be careful recently. Since they can't find a breakthrough with me, they might shift their target to you all. All of you teachers should raise your vigilance."

"Okay, thanks for reminding me, Teacher Wu."

Male teachers have a higher level of political awareness, so they don't think ripples are alarmist.

After the ripples caused things to escalate, school went on as usual, even skipping extracurricular activities. This led to the wonton stall owner delivering wontons straight to the school.

The other side's gendarmerie wasn't idle either. They found the owner of the wonton stall and inquired about Mr. Wu's whereabouts.

The boss, a very down-to-earth man, was taken aback and stammered:

“Mr. Wu... is a regular customer of mine. Yesterday, his... lunch was eaten here at my... place. When paying the bill... because he didn't have any change, Mr. Wu... said that he trusted me to keep it here for him and deduct it later, so... that day I earned more than usual, so I remember very clearly.”

"Are you sure"

The captain of the gendarmerie asked relentlessly.

"Sure, I wouldn't mistake Mr. Wu for anyone else."

Pan Wenbin was also called in for questioning afterwards.

Mr. Pan described it in greater detail, even mentioning the time, place, and every word he said when he encountered the ripples.

After this, more witnesses appeared. Upon investigation, Wu Lianyi was found to have never left the school premises and it was impossible for her to have gone to the tavern two streets away. In the end, the matter simply died down.

Hu Qian wasn't an important person, so his death meant nothing. It ultimately became a cold case.

Only then did the ripples let out a sigh of relief.

That day, when the original body went to see Hu Qian, she was deliberately avoiding people. The time she merged with her body was also very clever, precisely when both parties had just met.

How could the esteemed ancestor, Tangtang Lian'yi, possibly tolerate such a vulgar touch And she clearly sensed the original owner's hatred for this man.

So she replied to the other person as quickly as possible, then quickly left through the back alley, avoiding everyone's gaze, and returned to the road where her school was located.

She didn't rush into the shop, but went during the busiest hour at the wonton stall. She didn't eat the wontons; she just paid with a silver dollar. When the boss realized he couldn't make change, she simply said not to bother and that she'd deduct it later.

Because she was a regular, the boss didn't notice if she had eaten the wontons or not. Instead, it was this silver coin that made a deep impression on him, becoming her most powerful witness.

Also because of Principal Wu's intervention, she ultimately succeeded in shaking off the first step of her tragic fate and strangled that scheme in its infancy.

Half a month later is the school anniversary, and both teachers and students of Yimin School are busy.

Because this time, Principal Wu invited many influential figures. Besides celebrating the establishment of Yimin School, it also serves to demonstrate Principal Wu's charisma and influence.

Yimin School is one of the few universities that established foreign languages, so Lao Wu also invited several foreign friends. In short, how to make a fuss about it.

As a foreign language teacher, Lian Yi naturally took charge of reception duties, keeping the student union members busy for a while.

On the anniversary day, Lao Wu was dressed in a brand new black robe and personally welcomed guests at the school gate.

The gathering included prominent figures from politics, business, and the military. And ripples also saw that Kuomintang officer - the one who had forced her to marry him as his aunt in her previous life.

"Mr. Wu, this is my former classmate Li Wenliang. Don't be fooled by his scholarly name, he's a true soldier."

Back then, when I went abroad for further studies, he chose to join the military and is now an officer.

Teacher Pan smiled and introduced to Lianyi.

Today, ripples wore a powder-white Western long dress and brown ankle boots, making her look tall and graceful with an outstanding temperament.

Upon being introduced by Teacher Pan, she nodded faintly and politely said:

"Officer Li, hello! Let Teacher Pan accompany you. Lao Wu is looking for me, so I'll leave for a while."

Li Wenliang looked at Lian Ri's slender back, licking his lips. is her last chance."The stone mill laughed and said.Then the two lost contact, and Ripple also opened her eyes."Cousin, are you awake"Tang Zijun said softly.The throbbing in her teeth, it was from he...
