When one trick fails, they switch to another. If they can’t reach Zhilan through school administrators, they’ll resort to going through the parents of the students.
"Zhilan, do you want to ask Lin Chan for help? These people are really aggressive this time!" Chen Xiting worried to death, "I really don’t understand, have these people’s brains been squashed by a door? They believe whatever others say. Where’s their own ability to judge?"
"What could Gu En not be stirring up behind the scenes?" Jiang Biyun was surprised, but didn’t find it particularly strange.
Yes, this sort of thing, at this point, Zhilan doesn’t even need to speak up. The whole dorm could guess that Gu En was the ghost behind the scenes. Otherwise, who would be bored enough to put up a banner in front of Capital University and create a scene?
"Just find Chen Yun." Zhilan had encountered so many odd things, she now dealt with these events with calmness. Anyway, everyone at school was spreading rumors about her, even the slightly nicer ones about her philandering. The accusations of abortion and offering sex were the extreme versions.
Others can say whatever they want, what could Zhilan do about it? Can she control everyone’s mouths?
Even if she were to attempt to suppress the gossip, it would only keep the surface calm while it wildly spread in secret. In a law-abiding society, it’s not like you can execute anyone who spreads rumors, right?
Even if she tried to make an example out of someone, it wasn’t the right time to do so.
If Zhilan was at school during the term and someone was beaten up for speaking ill of her, the school would definitely use this as an excuse to expel her without hesitation. Then it wouldn’t matter who she turned to for help, the school would have the final say.
But, if the incident happened during the holidays, she would have countless excuses to hit back at the people who had slighted her. This was the advice given by Lin Chan. It wasn’t that she wasn’t going to take action, she was just waiting for the right time.
"Why find Chen Yun?" Jiang Biyun queried, puzzled.
"The police usually handle public disturbances caused by disgruntled citizens, don’t they? Let Chen Yun investigate how many of those waving banners at the gate have children studying at Capital University." Zhilan threw up her hands, not even planning to leave her dorm room. "The students at Capital University come from all walks of life. Although there are many locals, would they all band together ? Are their mindsets that uniform? Do both the prestigious and the ordinary citizens all choose today to shamelessly create a ruckus at our gates?"
Upon hearing Zhilan’s analysis, Chen Xiting and the others immediately understood and had an epiphany, "That’s right! So, the people that Gu En brought in have no connection to Capital University. If this is investigated, it will turn into them causing a public disturbance and they could end up in prison."
Indeed, Gu En, backed into a corner, had resorted to whatever means necessary, disregarding the consequences as long as it made Zhilan’s life miserable.
While Gu En failed to force Zhilan out of Capital University, she was successful in tarnishing Zhilan’s reputation amongst the campus community, making her the most notorious freshman in the history of Capital University.
After taking the call, Chen Yun immediately dispatched officers to remove the troublemakers at the entrance of Capital University. However, the moment the police cars arrived, those who had previously claimed to be parents disappeared into thin air, abandoning their banners and fleeing. Where was the might they had initially demonstrated when they sought to bring someone to justice?
