Chapter 2804 - 2797: Not the Scapegoat

The notebook’s location was obviously not where it was before.

When Zhan Xiche came back and put the notebook down, she must have placed it carelessly, because she didn’t know where the notebook was taken from in the first place.

But He Yueyue remembered clearly.

"Brother, come quickly!" He hurriedly called Ning Chenguang over, pointing to the spot on the bookshelf, "Do you remember where the notebook was originally placed?"

"It should be... over there..." Ning Chenguang pointed to the far right of the bookshelf. After he spoke, he noticed the notebook’s position had changed.

Since that point, he’d confirmed that Zhan Xiche indeed deceived He Yueyue and then returned to the house with him under the pretext of borrowing a book, sneaking the notebook back in.

"Can I prove my innocence now? I was indeed tricked by her, I didn’t lie!" He Yue said excitedly.

"I believe you." If before he trusted based on his understanding of He Yue, now what lay before him was an iron-clad fact.

He was now very sure, it was indeed Zhan Xiche who was up to no good.

But one thing Ning Chenguang couldn’t understand was why Zhan Xiche was making such an effort.

"So, can you explain this to the school now?" He Yue looked at Ning Chenguang expectantly.

"The current issue is Zhan Xiche refusing to admit it, and everyone sees the one in trouble is you! If the school decides to investigate thoroughly, you’ll inevitably be the scapegoat." Ning Chenguang’s expression grew colder as he spoke.

He hadn’t expected that Zhan Xiche, whom he’d always admired and respected, would be such a person.

"Then what do I do?" Initially thinking he’d seen some hope, He Yue felt his heart sink again upon hearing this.

"Unless she confesses with her own mouth." Yet this possibility seemed zero.

Ning Chenguang furrowed his brows, even contemplating if he should talk to Zhan Xiche, he couldn’t let He Yue be wronged without cause.

"Get her to confess... hmm..." Ideas quickly spun in He Yue’s head, her eyes lit up with a plan, "Brother, just wait, I will make her confess with her own mouth!"

"Can you do it?" Ning Chenguang was somewhat curious what method she had to make Zhan Xiche confess.

"I can!" He Yue said with full confidence, "I will tear off his hypocritical mask and let everyone see what kind of person Zhan Xiche really is."

Although He Yue came from the countryside, she wasn’t going to be anyone’s pushover.

At first, when the incident happened, she was frightened, scared, helpless.

But as the situation developed, when she realized Zhan Xiche was deliberately framing her and had no way to clear her name, the fighting spirit hidden within her was completely ignited.

"So what are you planning to do?" Ning Chenguang was curious.

"You’ll know tomorrow." The night was too late, there was no time, she’d have to wait until tomorrow.

"Alright! I’ll be waiting to see!"

After such a terrifying ordeal, He Yue couldn’t easily fall asleep.

In the dead of night, lying in bed, she tossed and turned thinking about how to confront Zhan Xiche tomorrow.

Once she’d thought enough, a strong drowsiness overwhelmed her.

But when she turned off the lights in her room, the scene from the night replayed in her mind over and over.

The peeled-off skin and the bloody muscles and veins kept flashing before her eyes.
