Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

"Culprit? What do you mean?", Mei Qingyang crossed her arms and squinted at Gu Layue. This girl was getting on her nerves now. But she was also aware something huge must have happened for even police to be here. And pointing the guns at them? They obviously couldn't be referring to Wang Hao, she was the only one left then.

She was still composed as she was scanning everyone. All the four groups were present here and everyone was staring at her wide eyed. A few people at the back were murmuring in hushed tones. The nurses and doctors in the compound also had an unbelievable look in their eyes.

She was fine till now but as soon as she saw horrified faces of Yu Tian and the group, even Fan Ruyi standing there with her IV drip, she knew she was in trouble. At least Fan Ruyi was fine. She was happy knowing that.

"What happened, can someone tell me?", Wang Hao raised his voice. He had authority after all.

"Nothing much, apart from the fact that the goon who attacked this girl a few days ago was found dead a few minutes ago in his room. In this very hospital. Poor guy was getting treatment here. Someone pulled out the cord to his blood transfusion tube and the guy is gone now. She is our prime suspect because she has the strongest motive to kill him.", Gu Layue shrugged her shoulders like it was just a matter of time Mei Qingyang would have done something like this.

"Is this true senior Fan? Was the guy actually being treated here?", Mei Qingyang was surprised that they had had multiple discussions after that incident and Fan Ruyi had not told this to her.

"So what? This was the nearest hospital to the school and that guy needed emergency treatment. Are you questioning my decisions?", Fan Ruyi put on her 'you arrogant brat, who are you to ask me this question' face.

Mei Qingyang understood that Fan Ruyi must not have had any choice at that time. That was fine. Now she had a new bomb to handle.

"Why are you pretending that you don't know he was here? You killed him to begin with.", shouted Gu Layue angrily.

"Shut up! There are police, our four seniors and Mr. Wang as well here. Who are you to keep accusing me again and again, that too without any proof?", Qingyang's head was literally aching now. She needed time to think and this brat would not stop her cacophony.

Gu Layue could not refute her so she harrumphed and put this humiliation in her mind, so that she could take her sweet revenge later, which did not seem very far away.

"Mr. Wang, I need a favor from you.", Mei Qingyang turned her head towards Wang Hao and spoke, shocking Yu Tian, Feng Yue, Su Lang, Fan Ruyi and Wang Hao himself silly. Who would have thought she would go for help to the one person who would never help her? Gu Layue was celebrating in her heart for the same reason. There was no way he was going to help her.

"Speak.", Wang Hao adjusted his glasses and ordered her very seriously. Now it was turn of Gu Layue to be bewildered.

"This concerns our school reputation. Regardless of whether I'm the real culprit or not, I don't think you or Principal would appreciate involving police in this matter.", she pronounced to the whole group. "Otherwise, we might as well open all the previous cases that never went out. Plus, it will reveal how Fan Ruyi's and Yu Tian's men were involved in beating those up. You would not want Principal Yu to get dragged into this, would you?", she whispered in his ears. She had monitored all the rumors that stemmed from the incident. It seemed, no one believed that a weak girl like her could deal with so many guys. So they had come up with a theory that it was Fan Ruyi's men majorly who helped her on request of Yu Tian.

"You are Principal's representative and should make a decision right now. You could, of course, ask Principal Yu as well.", she increased her volume again.

Seeing her being so confident, the Gu sisters hearts got an unsettling feeling. Wang Hao, on the other hand, went into deep thought.

"Don't listen to her. She is trying to get out of this easy Mr. Wang.", Gu Layue pleaded. Gu Jiujiu was surprisingly quiet during this time. She was calculating where she had gone wrong to get embroiled in a murder plot.

"Okay, I have come to a decision. What Mei Qingyang is saying makes sense. It is all related our school so it's an internal matter. Furthermore, we have our own laws. We need to make sure that right person gets punished.", he nodded towards Gu sisters to assure them that everything was in his control. But he did not show that he was calculating far ahead. If this matter went to police, then it might or might not be easy to pin everything on this girl. They still did not know what cards she held.

He turned to the police chief there and requested him to leave the matters to the school itself.

"Now that the police is gone, what is your next plan?", he asked Mei Qingyang. His heart was beating very fast right now because he had taken a decision by himself. But it was all so that Yu Rong didn't get dragged into this. His utmost priority was to keep his mistress as far away as possible. But he knew this girl would come up with something.

"Three days.", she held her three fingers up. "I need three days to solve this case. I am sure senior Fan was prudent enough to seal the building after the incident. On the authority of superintendent and the major suspect, I would like to work to solve this case. Of course, I would like Mr. Wang to be my supervisor in this, so that the transparency remains. Anything related to the case, I will do under your supervision. How does that sound, Mr. Wang?", she smiled. She had trapped the guy through and through.

Wang Hao realized he had just served himself on a plate to her. Now even if she comes out of this whole crime accusation, she will have his back. This is what he was worried about. Was it a bad idea to send the police back? He could not regret it now.

"Let me discuss with Principal Yu. Three days means you guys will have to spend three days here. I need to make arrangements. You guys can take a break of one hour and no one is allowed to go outside. Fan Ruyi, I need your help.", Wang Hao was worried now. This trap that they had set up for this girl might not work out the way he had thought. He needed urgent solution. But he was also the brains behind Yu Rong, so he had absolute confidence in his ability.

A devious smile appeared on Mei Qingyang's face. She had cleared the first stage of this game.
