A week later, there was suddenly new progress in Sheng Ning’an’s case.
Shi Yue was called to the tutor’s office for questioning once again.
The reason was that during the police investigation of another case, they traced an illegal online drug store.
During their investigation of the purchase records, they unexpectedly found that Shi Yue had purchased related drugs from the same store. Though she used a newly registered small account, deliberately went to an internet cafe, and filled in only the school as the delivery address, even using a fake name for the recipient.
But in her hundred careful steps, she missed one detail and filled in her own phone number. Follow current novels on No(ᴠ)ᴇlFire.nᴇt
In the face of evidence, even if Shi Yue wanted to argue, it was useless. She finally confessed that she just wanted to teach Sheng Ning’an a lesson. She planned to take advantage of Sheng Ning’an being "drunk," find a guy to pretend they were together, and take some photos to embarrass her, but fortunately, it didn’t succeed in the end.
However, the act of drugging first, then preparing to secretly photograph, already constituted an illegal fact. She was eventually taken away by Uncle Hat (the police) and detained for 5 days. During this time, after Shi Yue’s parents learned the news, they rushed to the school.
First, they sought the tutor to understand the situation, hoping the tutor would intercede for them.
The tutor, out of reluctance, contacted Sheng Ning’an.
As soon as Sheng Ning’an entered the tutor’s office, she saw a figure "plop" down on her knees in front of her.
Fortunately, Sheng Ning’an reacted quickly and managed to dodge in time.
She then looked in the tutor’s direction, who wore an embarrassed expression too. Hastily stepping forward to help Shi Mu up, she said, "If you have anything to say, please stand up first."
She was also pressured by Father Shi and Shi Mu, unable to resist their persistent pleading, reluctantly agreeing to call Sheng Ning’an over, not expecting Shi Mu to suddenly pull this stunt.
But Shi Mu pushed the tutor aside and directly crawled to Sheng Ning’an’s feet, grabbing onto her clothes, saying, "We heard about what that damn girl Shi Yue did. This time, she was indeed wrong. We apologize on her behalf and beg you to be lenient and forgive her this once."
"It’s hard for our family to raise a university student; her dad, brother, and I are all counting on her. What can we do if she’s put away?"
"We’ll do anything you ask, just please speak to the police and get that girl released! We’ll make sure she apologizes to you properly afterward."
Sheng Ning’an had long witnessed these two being difficult and did not want to entangle with them. As for Shi Yue, whatever punishment she received would be determined by the law.
Seeing Sheng Ning’an remain silent, clearly wanting to pursue the matter to the end, the tutor couldn’t persuade her and could only tell Shi Yue’s parents, "Rest assured, the community officer said she’d be detained for a maximum of 5 days; she’ll be released after 5 days. If you want to see her, you can go to the community police station."
Yet Shi Mu grabbed the tutor’s hand, inquiring, "We just want to know if this detention will affect her graduation and employment later?"
The tutor awkwardly forced a smile and said, "This will have some impact." And not to mention graduation and employment, the immediate issue was whether she could even retain her student status.
But looking at Father Shi and Shi Mu, the tutor worried that saying it directly might lead to a scene on the spot.
"That’s not acceptable!" Indeed, Shi Mu immediately shook her head upon hearing this.
They had worked hard to raise their daughter for so many years, counting on her to make money and support the family after graduating. What if this affected her ability to find a job in the future?
