After finishing the transcript at the police station and returning, as soon as I entered the school gate, I ran into Zhao Juan and her lackeys.

Ever since she started dating a senior from the third year, Zhao Juan had also become more active, even forming a small group.

A few people were chatting and laughing at the entrance of the teaching building.

Upon seeing me, Zhao Juan immediately stepped forward to block my way.

"Lin Ting, the first morning class is already over, why are you just arriving?"

"Did something happen on your way to school?" she hinted, but I couldn't be bothered to respond.

I glanced at her and said indifferently, "None of your business."

Seeing the dirt on my coat, Zhao Juan mocked, "Don't pretend. Some classmates saw you being dragged into an alley by several guys..."

Before she could finish, her lackeys immediately started expressing various astonishments:

"Ah? Several guys? That's not good, tsk tsk tsk..."

"If something happened, we should report it to the police!"

I furrowed my brows and looked at them:

"Did you see it? Were you there? I saw you being dragged into a dark room by a group of guys yesterday."

The other party immediately got angry, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Me: "If you have nothing better to do, go clean the windows and tidy up the classrooms for the grade. Stop spreading rumors all day long."

Unwilling to back down, Zhao Juan questioned me, "Don't act innocent. My good friends all saw it, why don't you admit it!"

I glanced at her few lackeys beside her, "Good friends? Just them?"

"Attractive girls appreciate each other, while low-class girls only gossip."

...

Seeing that a fight was about to break out, someone shouted, and the grade director came over!

Only then did Zhao Juan glare at me and lead her group back to class.

However, the matter did not end there.

Since Zhao Juan could instruct those people to cause trouble for me, she must have planned her next move.

In less than a day, the incident of me being dragged into an alley by several guys on the way to school had spread throughout the campus.

During the break, when I went to the restroom, I could see Zhao Juan standing at the entrance of our classroom gossiping with people. The key was that her gossiping voice was loud, as if afraid that passersby wouldn't hear.

Soon, the class teacher found me, looking worried as she told me:

"Now is a critical moment for the school to decide on the candidates for guaranteed admission. At this time, you must not make any mistakes!"

"Especially negative news."

I calmly nodded, "Don't worry, teacher, those are all rumors spread by others."

The class teacher looked at me with a complicated expression, "Spreading rumors is also not acceptable! Given the relationship with Chen Rui's mother, this rumor has a significant impact on you. Originally, the spot was between you and Chen Rui."

"You might want to communicate with your family, see how to dispel the rumors as soon as possible, or have your parents talk to the school leaders. Oh... you, how did you suddenly get involved in such a situation?"

At this point, I suddenly understood.

Before, I was puzzled as to why Chen Rui suddenly became interested in Zhao Juan, and why Zhao Juan was so fixated on me, trying desperately to pin these negative things on me.

Could it be for the guaranteed admission spot?

She probably had already told Chen Rui about our relationship and willingly wanted to help Chen Rui bring me down.

After all, her current blood-sucking backer was Chen Rui, not me.

I hadn't thought of this before.

Now, thinking back, Zhao Juan probably wanted to gain favor with Chen Rui by betraying me.

But she miscalculated.

This time, I will make sure her plan backfires.
