She is the most beautiful rose

Chapter 263 Three Questions
The next day, a student in Class 9 of Grade 3 who usually arrived the earliest saw the transfer student who arrived earlier than him in the classroom for the first time.

Shen Manzhi sat in the last row, lying on the table facing the window.

It is actually very simple to know the position of the person who posted the video. You just need to wait for the person who comes to the school for an interview.

Since the hot search video is blurry and the person cannot be seen clearly, and no one came to see her today and nothing happened, it means that the person was just using her to expose her to the public and did not want to drag her into the water.

But if those people suddenly found her, it means that someone deliberately exposed her identity, it could be the school or someone else.

The evidence she had collected had already been exposed, so there was no need for her to escape.

When Xiao Jingming entered the classroom, his eyes fell directly on Shen Manzhi in the last row. He pursed his lips slightly, then calmly looked away, walked to his seat, sat down and took out his book.

Until the last class in the morning, no one interrupted the class, and there was no news of anyone coming to the school to visit and investigate. In addition, the school handled the matter in a timely manner, and the popularity of the hot searches in the city dropped a lot.

Shen Manzhi felt a little doubtful and glanced at his phone. Baihu hadn't sent any message.

Did the school remove the trending search? Did it not become popular?
Although her original intention was just to deal with the school's actions privately so that students' teaching would not be affected too much.

It just calmed down like that, and I don’t know whether it was good or bad.

She walked down the stairs slowly, falling behind a few students who were not very active in eating. Thinking about this matter in her mind, she was surrounded by a group of people as soon as she walked out of the stairs of the teaching building.

"Student, is the person in the video you?"

"Are you really a classmate of this school?"

"According to the investigation, you were transferred to Huaisheng just two days ago, and then this happened. May I ask which team is specifically investigating this matter?"

"According to feedback from residents in this city, the admission rate of Huaisheng Middle School is as high as 90%. Many parents send their children here. The so-called corporal punishment in the video did not occur. Is this considered deliberate smearing and rumor-mongering?"

“Excuse me, is there a team behind you that is creating a short video account to attract traffic?”

Ten or so people surrounded him all of a sudden. Although the scene was not as scary as the ones in entertainment news, it was scary enough.

It turned out to be waiting for her here.

Shen Manzhi stood still and steadied her feet, luckily she was not pushed down. She glanced coldly at the people in front of her who were talking at once.

They were all unfamiliar faces, and her identity was not mentioned. In other words, they didn't know she was from Huaicheng? They also didn't know she was Shen Manzhi?

She glanced around again. It was lunchtime and all the students in the teaching building had left, but there shouldn't be even a teacher left.

Unless... this was intentional.

Otherwise how could these people get in.

Shen Manzhi lowered her eyes and clicked her tongue. Her nonchalant attitude made the person near her stop talking. Her voice became sharp, "Student, please give a direct answer."

Shen Manzhi's dark eyes swept over her coldly, and his cold and cruel temperament made people shudder.

She was someone who had truly waded through a river of blood, and no student, including the adults present, could match the cold and desperate aura she exuded.

Everyone was silent for a moment.

But she relaxed her brows and smiled, and the breath was suddenly subsided.

The person closest to her was actually stunned by her smile that didn't even reach her eyes.

Shen Manzhi lowered his head slightly, grabbed the neck-hanging microphone of the person in front of him and pulled it forward.

“I will answer three questions.”

Everyone was concentrating, holding recorders and taking notes.

"First of all," Shen Manzhi paused, "the person in the video is indeed me. I entered the school the day before yesterday, and was taken away by the director because of something that day."

Someone immediately asked, "Excuse me, what's the matter?"

Shen Manzhi glanced at him lightly, "Didn't you watch the video posted online carefully?"

The man was slightly stunned and said awkwardly, "It's too blurry."

Shen Manzhi continued, "The videos on the Internet are all intercepted surveillance footage, and these things are what I experienced in school these two days, so there is no rumor or slander."

Everyone then realized that she was answering the second question.

"As for the blurry video, I think maybe I can ask the person who asked you to come to me. After all, he knows it was me, so he must know the true story. He can also serve as a witness to this matter."

"So you are really risking your life to collect evidence of illegal punishment in the school, right? We have received the latest news that you are from Huaicheng. Why did you come to the school in Lincheng to make such an exposure? What is your purpose?"

She tilted her head slightly, and the sound came through the headset more clearly, crystal clear.

"I hope that innocent people can have another lifeline, because bullies will not have a good ending."

Someone squeezed to the front, holding up a recorder and asked anxiously, "Can you tell me in detail? Are you cynical, or do you have a shameful past?"

Shen Manzhi glanced at her and said slowly, "The three questions have been answered."

A middle-aged man pointed the recorder at her in a strong tone, "You are a foreign student, and you may not even be a student anymore. The incident you exposed has no credibility to parents and the public who trust the school. Are there other victims who can testify for you?"

Shen Manzhi's gaze passed over the person who asked the question and fell behind a group of people, meeting Xiao Jingming's gaze not far away. Students who came to watch the fun gradually gathered around him, but the only ones not seen were the school teachers and security guards.

She pondered for a long time.

"So you have no evidence that other students were punished? Then can I assume that you staged all this yourself?"

The question was so sarcastic that even his colleague next to him couldn't help but look at the man twice.

Shen Manzhi concentrated and said in a low voice, "As a reporter, the company gave you the right to interview, allowing you to go in and out of various news scenes under the name of a certain news agency. But once you touch the red line of not interviewing, you may disappear."

She looked at the person in front of her meaningfully, "Everyone knows this better than I do."

Those people were silent for a moment.

"Whatever we are protected by, we will naturally be restricted by it. They come here to study and learn, not to be the target of bullies and those in power. Do you want to know their names and then inform the school so that they will continue to be targeted? Bullied? Even expelled?"

The middle-aged man holding the recorder was shocked by Shen Manzhi's words and his pupils shrank. "I didn't."

Someone immediately asked, "We just got the latest news that you once bullied a classmate or were bullied at Huaicheng No. 1 Middle School. Is this true?"

Shen Manzhi's body paused slightly, and his brows drooped slightly.

She pursed her lips and said nothing. The scene was a little chaotic for a while until the school security guards arrived late to chase people away.

After the crowd was driven away, Shen Manzhi and Xiao Jingming looked at each other again.

She raised her eyebrows slightly and bumped into a girl sideways.

She was the girl who helped her on the first day, and also the girl who fell into her arms in the wall-facing room.

The girl's eyes were a little red.

Shen Manzhi put his index finger against his lips, lowered his eyes and smiled softly, "Shh."

Then they passed each other, and the girl turned around to look for her back and wiped her eyes.

Before I even reached the school gate, I saw someone familiar.

Shen Manzhi slowly stopped and waited for them to come over. "Sister Manzhi? Is it really you?"

It was auxiliary police officer Joey and his colleague. No, it was Joey who had been converted to a regular police officer not long ago.

Shen Manzhi roughly knew the purpose of their trip.

"This incident has been a hot topic online, and local citizens directly submitted a letter of complaint to the Huaicheng police, claiming that someone was slandering and spreading rumors."

Joey looked at her school uniform and frowned as she explained, looking distressed. "So we worked with the police here to come and investigate. I was shocked when I heard the news halfway through, wondering how could you be involved in this!"

She smiled and didn't respond, as if she agreed.

"Sister Manzhi, you may need to go to the police station with us to record a statement."

Shen Manzhi looked at her quietly and nodded to show his understanding.

Because Joey was busy with official business and working with his colleagues, he naturally did not talk much with Shen Manzhi. They went to the city police station together. After Shen Manzhi explained the whole story, he left his contact information and was told that he could leave.

She stood at the door of the police station and checked the time.

After all this trouble, it was almost two o'clock.

Baihu had already driven over to pick her up at the roadside. Shen Manzhi went to the mall to buy new clothes to change out of her school uniform and had lunch nearby.

"Go back?"

Shen Manzhi sat in the back seat, leaned back and closed his eyes, "Yeah."

Bai Hu glanced at her in the rearview mirror and said, "I've informed the police station that the people coming from Huaicheng are following normal procedures. They will then investigate through the relevant departments and they won't be looking for you anymore."

"Don't take too long."

"Okay, we took advantage of the situation last night to stir up the public opinion online. I guess the person who posted the video is also panicking, and now we are just waiting for him to take the bait. I have also talked to Mr. Si Qi. If the two parties cooperate, we will soon be able to expose the dirty deeds of the founder of Huaisheng Middle School."

Shen Manzhi didn't reply this time.

She fell asleep with her eyes closed.

Baihu glanced in the rearview mirror and calmed down, then turned on the heater.

In fact, she could have entrusted the matter entirely to Si Qi and achieved her goal by handling it privately.

She came to deal with the affairs of Huaisheng Middle School in person, partly because the school's founder was one of the persons involved in the case of the Zhan couple, and secondly because she was too familiar with the things that happened in the school.

Moreover, if there is no confirmation or support from other victims in the school, it will surely lead to all kinds of in-depth digging of her past on the Internet, and then...

He sighed in his heart.

I wonder how she will be evaluated by then.

It was already seven o'clock in the evening when we arrived in Huaicheng.

After getting off the highway, it was not far from the city center. Shen Manzhi slept all the way, and when he woke up, he was looking out the window in silence.

Baihu slowed down the car and turned into the ramp. "Are we going back to Jingwei?"

Shen Manzhi came back to his senses and was silent for a while, "Yeah."

Baihu felt that something was wrong with his ancestor.

When they arrived at the underground parking garage at Jingwei, Shen Manzhi asked him to go upstairs and get a room to rest.

"You're going out again?"

Shen Manzhi glanced at him indifferently.

...It's too much trouble.

Baihu shut up and got out of the car without even taking out the key.

Shen Manzhi looked at his cell phone, then sat in the car for another ten minutes before getting out and going to the driver's seat.

The cars Baihu drives are always top-of-the-line models, and this time it's a black Mercedes.

The most luxurious car is parked on the wide flat ground facing the sea at the main gate of Seaview Blue Bay, complementing each other perfectly.

Shen Manzhi gently touched the tip of his tongue to his palate, lowered the car window and looked at the tall buildings in the community.

The bedroom Qin Yanfeng reserved for her had a very beautiful sea view through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

She didn't stay there many times.

The night was getting colder and there was some drizzle.

When Shen Manzhi came to his senses, the hand he had placed outside the window was icy cold to the bone.

She started the car, glided away, rolled up the window, and passed by oncoming cars.

On a street full of bars in the city, Shen Manzhi, wearing a hoodie, turned into a shop in the corner, leaned against the bar and ordered a bottle of wine.

The bartender looked at her many times and handed her a bottle of wine and a clean glass.

Many people came to chat with him, so Shen Manzhi simply left a tip and left with the bottle of wine.

At nine o'clock in the evening, a black Mercedes arrived at Shen Ci's private residence.

This person is very particular and insists on living in a villa in the suburbs, saying it is quiet there.

When he was awakened by the knock on the door, Shen Ci looked at the person outside with anger. He was even more unhappy when he smelled the alcohol on her body. "If you have an illness, go to the hospital. Why are you looking for me?"

Among his peers, he was the only one who dared to speak to Shen Manzhi like this.

Shen Manzhi didn't care, half squinting his eyes, "I went to the hospital to find you, they said you were on leave today."

"You know what? People on vacation hate being disturbed the most..."

"Shen Ci."

Shen Manzhi interrupted him. Although the smell of alcohol on her body was so strong that it was intoxicating, she seemed unusually sober.

"Give me a sedative."

Shen Ci was half awake from his sleep and looked at her expressionlessly, "It's been less than a week since you begged me to give you a sedative. What do you want to do this time?"

"I will return to Beijing tomorrow, and if everything goes well, I will fly to Dominica for treatment the day after tomorrow."

As she spoke, she suddenly fell silent for a few seconds, "...Tonight, I want to go..."

Shen Ci interrupted her impatiently, "Don't even think about it. You might as well just soak in the barrel of alcohol. What else do you want to do?"

Shen Manzhi smiled when he heard this.

The light from the ceiling beam of the gatehouse was very dim, and when it fell into those beautiful eyes, it looked like crushed stars, soft and fragile.

Her tone was also soft, which made people feel distressed.

"I want to find someone to chat with."
