My girlfriend isn't as cute as me.

That's strange, isn't it, history teacher?

Huang Mei is an English teacher... isn't that right?!

One of the students who used psychotropic drugs, Li Peichen's parent.

How could it be her?

Officer Li noticed Lin Jiu's confusion and explained, "She violated Article 253 of the Criminal Law by selling or providing citizens' personal information to others in violation of relevant regulations. We obtained the records of her providing citizens' information through legal channels, and the evidence is conclusive. She also admitted to it during questioning."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiu mentally reviewed the Criminal Law and found the information he wanted to know.

Article 253 of the Criminal Law stipulates that anyone who commits a serious offense shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention, and may also be fined; if the offense is particularly serious, the sentence shall be fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years, and a fine shall also be imposed. Personnel of state organs or units in the financial, telecommunications, transportation, education, and medical sectors who violate relevant laws will be permanently barred from employment.

"..."

Lin Jiu fell silent.

Just how much does this person hate me?

The thought immediately popped into Lin Jiu's mind.

Even at such great risk, they were willing to betray the students.

This is truly... ridiculous.

Lin Jiu had foreseen the outcome of the story, but he hadn't foreseen its development.

He knew that Huang Mei was very wary of him, and he also understood that Huang Mei wished he would disappear from the face of the earth and never be seen again.

Because he knew the secret between Huang Mei and the principal, and had even used this secret to warn the other party.

Even if she betrayed him, Lin Jiu would only feel regret, not anger. What he never expected was that the person who betrayed him was not Huang Mei, but someone else entirely.

Lin Jiu recalled the history teacher she had met at the disciplinary office. From the teacher's initial disbelief to her profound remorse when the evidence was laid bare, the teacher's gaze remained fixed on Lin Jiu and Ning Yueyao, as if the fault lay not with her son, but with those who had reported her. She remained silent, calculating, indifferent to right or wrong, driven solely by a desire for revenge.

Lin Jiu initially thought that the other person was crying loudly with their head in their hands because they deeply regretted not raising their child well.

no……

think too much……

Lin Jiu suddenly felt very tired and asked, "Are there only these five people?"

He knew very well that these people were nothing more than tools, disposable items.

Even if they are thrown away, it doesn't matter. Presumably, those people have long been prepared to be abandoned.

As for who is behind this?

The answer is self-evident.

“Last night we interrogated four criminals, and they did not provide any information about their employer. They didn’t even bring their cell phones, and the transactions were conducted in cash instead of electronic transfers… It’s ridiculous. They really don’t take our law enforcement capabilities seriously and think they can get away with such petty tricks.”

Officer Li snorted coldly.

He had witnessed situations even more chaotic than they were more than twenty years ago.

Back then, surveillance equipment wasn't as deployed throughout the city as it is now. In addition, the country was in a period of rapid development, requiring a huge amount of manpower and resources, so everything seemed stretched thin.

Many ill-intentioned individuals sought to steal a scale from the dragon while it rested, but they all ultimately faced the dragon's overwhelming wrath upon its awakening. There is no time limit; the pursuit will continue until the very end, with only two possible outcomes—the perpetrators must be found alive or dead.

"It's all thanks to you."

Officer Li's tone became much more relaxed. He said softly, "Without your advice, we would probably have been misled by their thinking and subconsciously assumed that these four criminals were related to drug traffickers, instead of considering the other side of the story. The history teacher who leaked your family information and address has already revealed her accomplice."

"Li Zhihao's parents, is that right?"

Lin Jiu asked calmly.

"Yes."

Officer Li didn't intend to hide it from Lin Jiu.

As for how Lin Jiu guessed it… to be honest, Lin Jiu also suspected Zhou Hanbao's parents. It's just that Zhou Hanbao's parents had too many burdens on their shoulders, too many to abandon their other children for the sake of one. If he had the chance, he might even personally appear at the school gate, waiting for Lin Jiu or Ning Yueyao to come out.

Lin Jiu suddenly felt a chill, and his shoulders trembled unconsciously.

It was a bone-chilling cold that rose up from the soles of my feet, making me feel a sense of panic.

It was as if, in a dark corner, a demon was panting heavily, and a foul stench permeated the air.

Just then, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"..."

Lin Jiu was not afraid of this, but slowly relaxed.

Because his body remembered the other person's shape, whether it was the size of the fingers or the temperature of the palm. As long as he was touched by this hand, he knew that he didn't need to be too nervous.

Lin Jiu turned around and looked at her, her solemn expression slowly turning into a gentle and calm one.

Wang Yuting gently patted Lin Jiu's shoulder, her lips moved slightly, and she silently uttered...

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

After saying that, a dazzling smile appeared on her face, forcefully announcing her presence.

Lin Jiu is not alone; he now has someone he can trust by his side.

Perhaps Lin Jiu's mindset becomes more conservative and less radical when he has nothing. But this definitely doesn't mean he's become weaker; rather, it means he's more willing to work harder to think of better solutions and find more perfect answers.

Even if mistakes happen, it doesn't matter. Wang Yuting isn't some delicate, weak girl. She can make crucial corrections when he misjudges the situation; she will always be his strongest support. Wang Yuting has long been prepared to protect Lin Jiu for life. She will accompany him as he grows and walk alongside him on the long road of life. No matter what choice Lin Jiu makes, she will do her best to help him and give him the strength to move forward.

Both have shortcomings, and both have outstanding strengths.

They can complement each other's weaknesses and leverage each other's strengths.

"Ah."

Lin Jiu nodded gently.

The two stood side by side, sunlight streaming through the window and falling on them, casting their shadows that reflected their mutual devotion.

Manager Tan looked at the two of them. She had originally planned to talk to Manager Wang about her and Lin Jiu.

No matter how you look at it, it seems very strange from an outsider's perspective.

First, there's the matter of Lin Jiu wearing women's clothing.

Manager Tan was an older woman, and she would absolutely not allow her son to wear women's clothing. However, she knew very well that she had no right to interfere with other people's preferences. If Lin Jiu simply liked wearing women's clothing, that was his own business and had nothing to do with Manager Tan. Since it was none of their concern, they shouldn't gossip about each other's affairs.

What she really cared about was that it was obvious that Manager Wang had fallen for the little boy.

Eighteen is an adult, that's true, but in terms of life experience, Lin Jiu is just a kid.

From a mature woman's perspective, Lin Jiu is practically a baby!

Of course, Manager Tan didn't know about Brother Lin Jiu's Tower of Babel legend. What would happen if she did?

Manager Tan initially planned to have a good talk with Manager Wang and offer some suggestions from a colleague's perspective. However, it now seems that it's not her place to say anything; the atmosphere between the two of them doesn't allow anyone else to interfere.

I heard that Director Yang on the fourth floor has been pursuing Manager Wang for almost a year... Hilarious, he has absolutely no chance of winning.

Even if there is an age gap between Wang Yuting and Lin Jiu, it doesn't mean that others can take advantage of it to cause trouble.

Supervisor Tan decisively abandoned the idea of ​​offering advice based on his experience and that of a colleague.

Those who have nothing to do with these two should simply offer their silent blessings.

"Then I'll leave the rest to you, Officer Li."

After speaking with Officer Li, Lin Jiu understood that he didn't need to worry about this matter for the time being and could relax a little. The next step was the police's job; the police wouldn't let them get away with it just because they had power and influence.

"This is my job, and it is also my duty."

Officer Li smiled, and the two exchanged pleasantries for a while before hanging up the phone.

Lin Jiu initially considered sending a WeChat message to inform the class monitor, but then thought the police would likely contact them as well, and silently put his phone back in his pocket. This matter wasn't completely over yet; Lin Jiu would remain vigilant until the perpetrators were brought to justice. This was his style—cautious and cautious, never making a mistake.

"how's it going?"

"Police have arrested five suspects..."

Lin Jiu relayed the contents of the call to Wang Yuting to put her mind at ease, but Lin Jiu was still overthinking it.

Wang Yuting wasn't afraid.

"If any bad guys come, I'll take them down." Wang Yuting propped herself up on her arms, striking a pose that showed off her muscles. You couldn't tell from her appearance that she was strong at all; it was hard to imagine that such slender arms contained terrifying strength.

Lin Jiu chuckled and said, "Then I'll find the bad guys beforehand, and the rest is up to you."

"Okay! Leave it to me without worry!"

Wang Yuting patted her chest confidently, causing ripples to spread across the water.

"Here's your buy-one-get-one-free coupon for milk tea with foam."

"Thank you."

Wang Yuting accepted the coupon.

Wang Yuting knew Lin Jiu's personality very well. If he saw the price of milk tea, he would probably only buy one cup for her.

It wasn't that she disliked Lin Jiu's thrifty and hardworking nature, but she really wanted to tell Lin Jiu that she wouldn't be happy at all if she were the only one eating, drinking, and having fun.

Some things are best done together to bring joy and satisfaction.

"Jiu, let's go."

"Please wait a moment."

Supervisor Tan called out to Wang Yuting.

With Wang Yuting filled with confusion and doubt, Manager Tan pointed at Lin Jiu.

"Could I speak with him alone for a couple of minutes?"

Chapter 83 I'll Take You Home, You Saved Me 4K

"Could I speak with him alone for a couple of minutes?"

Supervisor Tan asked Wang Yuting what she wanted to say to Lin Jiu.

"...Is there anything I can't hear?"

Wang Yuting warily shielded Lin Jiu behind her, cautiously sizing him up.
