Chapter 22: The Scheming Money-Worshipping Substitute
Zhou Congli was surprised and thought about the identification results: "But, the police said the picture was photoshopped, and the original picture is also there, how come..." How could it be her!

Lin Zhi turned her face slightly and said, "That picture is fake. The real one was replaced by me."

Zhou Congli...stared at her in a daze.

Lin Zhi lowered her eyes and told him her plan without hesitation: "I accidentally found out that Li Ke wanted to post my L photo on the school's confession wall to ruin my reputation, so I paid someone to monitor her phone." She would hire someone to monitor whoever she suspected, and Li Ke was just one of them.

"Li Ke has always hated me. He often targets me behind my back and says bad things about me to others."

"I asked someone to monitor her, and sure enough, someone sent her the photo. I knew she wasn't the culprit, but she wanted to destroy me, so I replaced the original photo with a fake one, and then she posted it on the confession wall."

"Now that she's been taken away by the police, everyone knows that she was jealous of me and framed me."

Those photos were identified as photoshopped. She was a victim, not a female student with a chaotic private life. Even if there were still people talking about her in the school, they would only dare to talk about her in secret. It would not be like the original plot, where everyone became a judge and scolded her without scruples.

"She's going to have a miserable life in the future, but I don't regret it."

Zhou Congli was completely stunned at this moment. He had never expected that the truth was like this...

"But I have to thank the president." Lin Zhi said: "If it weren't for the fact that we were in City C, President Zhang would have given me a large sum of money for mental damage because he was afraid of you. With this money, I would have been able to hire people." Otherwise, she would have had to take out a loan.

Zhou Congli was speechless. He didn't expect that he was the reason, but he didn't think she was scheming. Although it was indeed a little unexpected, she was just protecting herself and it was not excessive.

But, thinking about what she said about the photos being real, I felt a little bit unable to speak.

"Boss, do you think I'm a bad person?" Lin Zhi stared at the ground.

"no!"

Zhou Congli looked at her and said, "You were just protecting yourself. If that girl didn't want to hurt you, you wouldn't have chosen to fight back, so don't feel guilty or blame yourself. But you said someone sent the photo to her, so did you find that person?"

Lin Zhi shook her head: "The other party used a fake account, and the person I invited couldn't find it, so I don't know who it is."

Zhou Congli was also a little serious: "Give me the other party's account, and I will help you find someone to check it out. This is obviously premeditated. If we don't find it, what if he takes your photo again..." After he finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly looked at her.

Sure enough, Lin Zhi's shoulders trembled and tears as big as beans fell to the ground one by one.

"Sorry, I"

"I, I didn't want to do that either. I don't know. I clearly did that night." She covered her mouth and sobbed, on the verge of collapse.

Assistant Ye, who was walking in front, looked back from time to time. Zhou Congli half-supported Lin Zhi and said to him, "You go to the police station with me. We'll leave first."

The school has basically understood the case, and the next step is to educate and punish Li Ke, but it is not too serious. At most she will be detained for a few days, fined and asked to reflect on her mistakes. However, the school's punishment is enough for her, not to mention the impact that this incident will have in the future. Li Ke's future can be said to be completely over.

Assistant Ye quickly agreed and went over to negotiate with the police. Seeing that Lin Zhi was in poor condition, they did not insist.

Linzhi sat in Zhou Congli's car and kept biting her lips and crying.

Zhou Congli tried to comfort him: "I believe you, you must have your own difficulties——"

Lin Zhi looked at him with tears in her eyes: "I really don't know. I clearly went to the address Zhou Ye gave me that night. Why did I go to the wrong room? I thought it was him."

She suddenly burst into tears: "What should I do now? I don't know who he is, but I have a child."

While stroking her belly, her fingers kept twitching and shaking, "Now someone has taken out those photos again, I, I." She covered her chest, it was so painful that she could hardly breathe.

Zhou Congli seemed to be awakened: "Take a deep breath, stop crying." Lin Zhi rested her head on his shoulder, still crying, her body trembling, her voice filled with despair: "President, what should I do?"

Zhou Congli's heart was in turmoil at this moment. The seed of doubt that had been in his mind for a long time began to take root and sprout, breaking through the ground.

"You said you went to the wrong room? On the night of the 8th at the *** Hotel?"

Lin Zhi seemed to remember something scary and nodded slightly.

Zhou Congli was stunned and asked again with difficulty: "Then is the jeweled cufflink in your bag the one you got that night?"

Lin Zhi clutched the clothes on his chest tightly: "I, I thought it belonged to Zhou Ye, and I always wanted to return it to him, but he said, he said I went to the wrong room and it wasn't him." She cried, as if her heart was broken.

Zhou Congli felt as if someone had hit him on the head, making a buzzing sound, and his life seemed to have been turned upside down.

So, that's how it is...

"Linzhi..."

Lin Zhi looked up at him with tearful eyes.

"I'm sorry." Zhou Congli moved his lips: "I'm sorry." His eyes were full of regret and hatred.

Lin Zhi seemed to be frightened: "President, you..."

"This matter has nothing to do with Zhou Ye. I didn't see the house number correctly." She bit her lip and said, "You have been good enough to me. I don't know how to thank you. You don't have to apologize."

Zhou Congli smiled bitterly in his heart. He was not apologizing for Zhou Ye, he was apologizing for himself.

There were so many chances, but he missed them all, leaving her to bear the pain alone. It was he who harmed her.

"I'm sorry," he said again.

Lin Zhi was particularly at a loss. She wanted to say no, but she saw the redness in his eyes and froze, "President." She reached out and touched him, "Don't be sad. I, I won't cry anymore."

Tears kept falling as she spoke, "If you coax me like this, I will feel even more wronged."

Zhou Congli's heart trembled. He held her hand and endured the pain in his heart: "Linzhi, I am sorry for you. That night I..." Seeing her tearful eyes, he subconsciously did not dare to speak.

She always regarded him as Zhou Ye's elder brother and was so grateful to him.

If she knew that he was the one who hurt her that night, she would definitely hate him for making her go through all that.

"I will protect you." he said.

He always thought that his boyfriend Zhou Ye was irresponsible, but in fact, he was the one who should be responsible.

Lin Zhi uttered an "ah" and her face turned red. Her long and curled eyelashes trembled slightly and she said softly, "Thank you, President."

The air was silent for a moment. Zhou Congli had just heard the news and was still a little dazed. His eyes unconsciously followed the face of the woman in front of him, but he found that his memory of that night was already blurry. He only clearly remembered her collapse and shock when she first learned that she was pregnant in the hospital. His heart ached again.

"sorry."
