Young Master Gao? Call me Little Grand Secretary!

Fan Tong suddenly launched an attack, beating Qin Hui, which startled everyone. Even Gao Zhao was stunned. Seeing Qin Hui being beaten and running away with his head in his hands, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him!

"Xiao Fan, what are you doing!" Gao Zhao grabbed his waist and pulled him back.

Su Mian also stepped in front of Qin Hui, glaring angrily at Fan Tong and shouting, "How dare you hit someone for no reason!"

"Brother Gongming, let me go!" Fan Tong was furious. He struggled a few times but couldn't break free. Hearing Su Mian's questioning, he immediately pointed at Qin Hui and cursed, "I hit someone for no reason? Ask him what despicable things he did! He's repeatedly sent people to ruin my reputation. Does he think I, Fan Tong, am easy to bully?!"

Qin Hui rubbed the spot where he had been hit, hissing in pain. Although he was older than Fan Tong, he was physically weak and was no match for him in a fight.

At first, they thought Fan Tong was just venting his anger, but upon hearing this, they immediately retorted, feeling wronged, "How have I ever ruined your reputation? How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?"

Seeing that he not only refused to admit his mistake but also dared to argue, Fan Tong became even more enraged and shouted angrily, "You dare to say that you didn't hire that Feng Sanniang last time, and this Xiangnu this time?"

"You...you're spouting nonsense!"

Qin Hui's face turned deathly pale instantly. He was both shocked and humiliated. His thin body trembled slightly, and he even forgot the pain he was in.

Su Mian also defended Qin Hui, saying, "You say it was Brother Hui who did it, but do you have any evidence?"

"Evidence?" Fan Tong sneered, pointing at the two men and saying, "In the entire Biyong, who else but Qin Huizhi has a grudge against me! Besides, who else but him would do something as despicable as framing me? Don't say I look down on you, Su Mian. Even if I gave you money to do it, you wouldn't know how to do it."

Su Mian's expression stiffened, and he was somewhat speechless. He knew that Fan Tong and Qin Hui had always been at odds, and Qin Hui was indeed good at doing those despicable things involving dealing with people.

This...has the motive and the capability...

Su Mian turned around and met Qin Hui's gaze, instinctively looking away...

He also suspected that Qin Hui was behind this!

Qin Hui was a man of humble origins who had lived under the roof of others since childhood. He had long since developed a keen eye for reading people and was able to see through Su Mian's thoughts at a glance.

A chill ran through him, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head. He never expected that his friend would also have doubts about him!

That fleeting glance, that moment of hesitation, though seemingly subtle, felt like a sharp blade piercing his chest, chilling him to the bone more than Fan Tong's punches and kicks.

Qin Hui pursed his lips, his heart filled with bitterness. The grievance in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a look of disappointment and desolation.

However, it wasn't surprising. He had experienced this kind of disappointment many times since he was a child, and he was already used to it!

But it's just another one of those times!

"I believe this was not done by Brother Hui!" Suddenly a loud voice rang out, which sounded to Qin Hui like a thunderclap, shattering the dark clouds and revealing the sun again!

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Gao Zhao standing tall, his tone firm and righteous, declaring, "This matter is definitely not the work of Brother Huizhi! I believe him!"

Even though Qin Hui had experienced the coldness and warmth of human relationships, and his heart was hardened like iron, his eyes still reddened at this moment, and tears blurred his vision.

Every time he was in despair, Gao Zhao would step forward to support him and give him the greatest support and trust. This friendship was invaluable, and how could he not be moved!

[Gratitude points from Qin Hui +1]

Gao Zhao ignored the pop-up window, raised a finger, and looked earnestly at Fan Tongdao: "I'll just say one thing, and it will dispel your doubts!"

The three of them, along with their roommate who was standing awkwardly to the side, all looked at him upon hearing this, wondering what profound insights he had to offer!

"Huizhi is too poor; there's no way he could afford to hire someone to harm you!"

Gao Zhao's reasoning was simple and straightforward, yet it stunned the others, leaving them speechless and unable to refute it!

Qin Hui was completely bewildered. Brother, are you praising me or insulting me?

The current social atmosphere in the Song Dynasty is not good. Due to the misleading influence of those Buddhist and Taoist figures, Confucianism is declining, people's hearts are no longer as pure as they used to be, and everyone is very pragmatic and only cares about profit.

Without money, you can't do anything, but it's absolutely impossible to find a woman to ruin her reputation and frame someone else!

Seeing that Fan Tong remained silent, Gao Zhao pushed Qin Hui out of the gate of Biyong and escorted him all the way before turning back.

But as soon as he left, Qin Hui turned around and looked at his back, his gaze thoughtful.

Not many people knew Fan Tong's true identity, but Gao Zhao was one of them. Moreover, he had borrowed documents from him twice in a row, and last night he didn't even come home...

What a coincidence!

He glanced at the pledge in the document and suddenly understood!

When Gao Zhao returned to his dormitory, he saw a group of people blocking the door and arguing incessantly inside.

He quickly pushed people aside and squeezed in. Peeking inside, he saw that Xu Qing and Fan Tong were arguing!

"What did you do to Miss Xiangnu!" Xu Qing grabbed Fan Tong by the collar and demanded angrily, "Why did she suddenly change her story and willingly confess to false accusation, exonerating you in public!"

Fan Tong, already furious about Qin Hui's actions, immediately shoved Xu Qing aside and roared, "She framed me! How dare she deny it before the Kaifeng Prefecture!"

"You're talking nonsense! Miss Xiangnu isn't that kind of person!" Xu Qing stumbled from his shove, then stepped forward to pull him away, roaring, "It must have been you who coerced and bribed her to force her to change her mind!"

"Don't spout nonsense and slander my innocence!" Fan Tong retorted sharply.

"If you hadn't threatened her, why did she immediately change her mind as soon as you finished talking?" Xu Qing pressed on relentlessly, "What did you say you talked about?"

The argument between the two grew louder and louder, attracting a growing number of students who gathered to watch the spectacle.

Gao Zhao was worried for Fan Tong when he saw that Fan Tong didn't even know how to argue and his retorts were completely harmless.

"Um...didn't the prostitute change her story because she admired Fan Tong?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing froze, then turned and shouted angrily, "Who...who said that!"

"That prostitute said it herself!" The people around also realized what was happening and laughed, "She made such a big mistake because she was infatuated!"

Xu Qing felt as if her heart was being torn apart. Trembling, she pointed at the crowd and roared, "Nonsense! She didn't... she was forced to say that by Fan Tong!"

"I didn't force her!" Fan Tong also saw through the situation, deliberately raising his eyebrows and provocatively saying, "She took the initiative to tell me she admired me and wanted to be my concubine, without asking for any dowry!"

"Nonsense, you're talking nonsense!" Xu Qing was on the verge of collapse. Looking around at everyone, she saw that they were all mocking and laughing at her. She was even more ashamed and indignant, and turned around and ran away.

He decided to find Xiangnu and ask her clearly that he loved her so much that even if she really wanted to leave the profession, she should marry him!

Only I can give her happiness!
