The Overnight Chosen Wife: Darling, Kiss Me Deeper

"I just realized something." One of the students said, catching everyone's attention all over again. "Dean Felix kept taking the side of Professor Marcus and even admonished Li Lanni. He even insisted that she should be expelled!"

This statement gave them a light bulb moment and the other students immediately started to chime in.

"That's right. Now that you mention it, it's too creepy."

"Could it be that they are accomplices and he knew that Professor Marcus was wrong from the start?"

Li Lanni's eyes squinted.

He couldn't have known. From the little she had seen and heard about him, he didn't seem capable of taking a bribe to hide a demon. He was simply too self righteous and believed that everything he thought was true was true.

It wouldn't be bad to let him learn a little lesson, though. After all his words almost earned her an expulsion just now.

Following the huge reaction from the students, the police had to be called to take Professor Marcus away. Li Lanni handed over the USB flash drive for that video to be used as evidence. Only then did things start to cool off.

As for Jin Shanshan, Li Lanni didn't spare her a glance. Not even when she was taken away to be interrogated.

Logically, it wouldn't make sense for Li Lanni to hire a fake witness if she had such substantial evidence.

Her statement about being forced by Li Lanni to testify against professor Marcus was automatically regarded as a lie. She had just earned trouble when she could have stuck to the truth and evaded it – Li Lanni really wanted to congratulate her.

"Lanni! Lanni, you're a hero!"

"Li Lanni actually brought the truth to light. How brave. She is so young yet so gutsy."

"Many people knew what was going on but didn't dare to say a word. Not only did Lanni speak up, she also found evidence and helped the school eradicate a huge monster."

"Lanni is simply a goddess."

"She's from the same art class as me. Should I be flattered?"

Li Lanni's lips twitched. Hero? Goddess? These students were too easily swayed.

Just a moment ago, they were all cursing her and calling her all sorts of names for wasting everyone's time, playing righteous and seeking attention. Now that she did that one thing they were scared of doing, she turned into a goddess and even earned some fans?

...

By the time she managed to make her way out, the students crowded around her, she was so tired that she almost thought she had escaped from a battle field.

She rushed to the abandoned school building and sat in one of the classrooms.

"There you are. I almost collapsed just trying to find to you." Cheng Yu walked in after a while, panting and with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. She handed Li Lanni a bottle of cold mineral water.

Li Lanni looked at it and tittered. "I'm not from a battle, okay? Can you not be so dramatic?"

Cheng Yu's cheeks flashed but she still maintained her position with her outstretched hand. Li Lanni saw that she was eager and took the bottle then unscrewed it.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't bring herself to drink the water. This was a new bottle of mineral water and it was still sealed when she took it from her. Why couldn't she drink it? She didn't suspect Cheng Yu, but she didn't trust her fully either – at least not just yet.

Cheng Yu naturally detected the hesitation in Li Lanni's mind and hurt flashed in her eyes. Nonetheless, she did not dwell on it.

"Right. Where did you get that video?" She asked, referring to the one she presented as evidence a while ago.

"Where else? From Ji Feifei."

"Eh?" How was that possible? Ji Feifei obviously wouldn't give it to Li Lanni. Wait, the main point was, where would Ji Feifei get it?

Li Lanni felt that she had nothing to lose even if Cheng Yu knew too much at this point. "Do you really think Ji Feifei and that professor would maintain their little 'alliance' if they had nothing against each other?"

"What are you saying?"

"It's as simple as that. He must have something against Ji Feifei to make her so loyal to him – and she must have had something against him too.

Since she did, she would obviously keep it in a place that would arouse the least suspicion – probably something that would look normal but isn't. While it's quite normal that girls will rarely put their bags down, Ji Feifei is different. She can leave her bag when she should but she will always take out the small blue purse and treat it like her baby. It wasn't that hard to guess."

Cheng Yu filled in the rest of the details. So Li Lanni found an opportunity to get that purse and search it? How did she even achieve such a feat? She said it herself that Ji Feifei didn't ever leave that purse…

"So how did you get it?"

"I found her weakness and that was it. Oh, the process doesn't really matter, right? It helped me kill three birds with one stone."

"Three birds?"

"Professor Marcus is going to hell and I got my revenge. As for the third stone, surely you can guess this. Ji Feifei won't be trudging far. Just give it a few days. He will pull her to hell with him."

From her tone, she didn't plan all this in one day. She must have been plotting this for a while - probably ever since she decided to expose Professor Marcus.

So this was her trump card all along…

Cheng Yu bit her lower lip in disappointment. She had thought that they were quite close. In the end, Li Lanni only revealed her other little options and hid her trump card from her…

"I heard there's an upcoming art competition. Do you want to check it out together?" She asked to change the topic.

"I don't think so. I still have an exam to ace, remember?" Li Lanni didn't look too interested.

"Yeah." In fact, she had only brought it up to kill the previous conversation.
