Wen Li was totally shocked.

She asked Zhou Ying, "Why was he suspended? What happened? Tell me slowly."

Zhou Ying was angry and upset. She cried and said, "Wait a minute. I'll forward something to you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Li heard a message alert sound from her phone. She took down her phone and saw that Zhou Ying had sent her a photo, which was obviously taken on a computer screen. It was not very clear and it was hard to identify.

Wen Li read it carefully word by word. It was an anonymous email sent to the leaders of Haishi University. The person being reported was Zhou Ying, who was accused of privately accepting valuable gifts from others and seeking benefits for her friends for personal gain.

Wen Li was completely confused and asked, "You are just an ordinary English teacher at the Foreign Languages College. What benefits can you get for your friends? Also, the friend mentioned above, could it be me? I don't remember ever benefiting from you in any way."

Zhou Ying groaned and cried, "After I was suspended, Professor Yu used his connections to find someone to take the photo for me. Otherwise, I would never know. The higher-ups said they secretly investigated and the report was true. I did accept the gift. As for the benefits I sought, it was the photo you took for the school anniversary celebration."

Wen Li was speechless. "You only introduced me as a middleman for the school anniversary photo shoot. It was up to the publicity department to decide whether to use me or not. Besides, I have won awards, so why am I not eligible to get the school anniversary list? Could it be that the person who sent you the gift mentioned in the email was me?"

Zhou Ying said, "Regarding the school anniversary photo shoot, colleagues from the publicity department came out to testify that they did follow the procedures before signing the contract with you. The main problem was the bag you gave me. They said that the bag was too expensive and I shouldn't have accepted it from you."

Wen Li thought about it for a long time before she remembered that she once gave Zhou Ying a bag worth 20,000 or 30,000 yuan as a thank you for introducing her to a job. When she was a child, her family was wealthy, and she always bought big-name bags. This habit continues to this day. Although she has no money, she would rather carry a bag from a miscellaneous brand bought online, and the bags she gives to others must be big-name brands.

She also didn't know that the gift she gave to her friend would cause her to lose her job.

"How about I go and explain this to the school. I already paid the balance when I gave you the bag."

Zhou Ying said, "The time of sending the bag has nothing to do with whether or not the final payment was made. The informant also provided photos of you and I having dinner together. From the school's perspective, I did receive your bag, had close private contact with you, and introduced orders to you. The evidence is sufficient."

Wen Li was silent for a while, then asked her, "Is there no room for maneuver?"

Zhou Ying didn't say anything.

She knew there was little hope.

"But how do you know that the whistleblower is An Wen? This email is unsigned, and the sender's mailbox is not the school's mailbox."

Zhou Ying sniffed and said, "There are photos in the report letter, and several of them are of you and I having dinner together. One of them was taken in a western restaurant. I remember that Professor Huo and An Wen were also there, and the person who took the photo was sitting across from us. Who else could it be but An Wen? An Wen missed the English class I taught last week, so her score must have been recorded as zero. It just so happened that I was reported on Monday, just as the results were announced on Friday."

Wen Li felt that Zhou Ying's guess was quite right. Whether it was the school anniversary or her sending a bag to Zhou Ying, it had happened half a year ago, and it was not exposed at the time, but it was exposed after the test results came out. This was too obvious.

Besides, An Wen had caused trouble several times because of her English grades. It was hard not to suspect that An Wen deliberately framed Zhou Ying because she was dissatisfied with being given a zero.

If Zhou Ying is suspended at this point, the exam that just ended will not count, and a new teacher will have to set the questions and retake the exam. For those who missed the exam, there will be a chance to get the results.

Thinking about it this way, this kind of daring thing really seems to be the work of An Wen. After all, with Huo Yuanchen's unconditional protection, An Wen can do anything crazy.

Wen Li took a deep breath and said to Zhou Ying, "I'm going to find Huo Yuanchen."

Zhou Ying said, "It's no use looking for him."

Wen Li refused to believe it, "We have to try it to know if it works or not."

When she said this, she had a glimmer of hope in her heart. She felt that no matter how bad Huo Yuanchen was, at least he could distinguish right from wrong and would not let An Wen frame Zhou Ying.

So, when she heard from Huo Yuanchen that "it couldn't have been done by An Wen", her heart sank.

"Why not?" Wen Li looked at Huo Yuanchen and said, "The photo was taken by An Wen, you can't deny it. Also, after Zhou Ying was suspended, An Wen can make up the exam. She is a vested interest, isn't she?"

Huo Yuanchen frowned and said, "An Wen likes to post on WeChat Moments. Anyone who is her friend can keep this photo. We can't be sure it's her based on this alone. It could be anyone. As for the make-up exam you mentioned, this is indeed the result, but it doesn't prove that the reporter is An Wen. She is very ill now, so how can she have the energy to report Zhou Ying."

He paused slightly and said, "You are too prejudiced against her."

Wen Li saw the accusation in his eyes.

He didn't even have a doubt and was so sure that it wasn't An Wen who did it.

She was so disappointed in him.

She asked him back, "What if it's An Wen? Are you 100% sure it's not her?"

Huo Yuanchen said helplessly, "I believe it's not her. If you insist that it's her, in order to clear her name, I can help you and Zhou Ying find out."

Wen Li sneered, "Okay, then I'll trouble Professor Huo."

When she was about to leave, Huo Yuanchen stopped her. He raised his eyebrows and asked her in a low voice, "You haven't seen me for so long, and you came here just to question me. Don't you have anything else to say to me?"

Wen Li's eyes flickered. She felt that she was quite smart at the moment, and she could tell from Huo Yuanchen's gloomy eyes that he wanted her to explain why she didn't reply to his message that day, and why she was so busy recently.

Too busy to contact him.

Wen Li thought it was funny. When he was busy, he would ignore her for a month, but he didn't think it was a big deal and blamed her for being too busy?

She didn't explain much, just smiled and left.

A few days later, Huo Yuanchen told her that he found out that the person who reported Zhou Ying was not An Wen, but another student, who also failed the English test.

He said, "This is the answer you want. Don't misunderstand An Wen because of your prejudice."

Wen Li told Zhou Ying the result and asked her, "Do you believe it?"

Zhou Ying smiled bitterly, "What's the point of me believing or not? No matter if it's An Wen or someone else, the result is that I'm unemployed and now I'm penniless. The employment prospects of English majors are limited, and staying in college to be a teacher is my best way out. But now, even if I resign, who would be willing to hire an English teacher like me with a stain on my body?"

Wen Li was so angry that her teeth itched. She had a hunch that this matter must be related to An Wen.

She told Zhou Ying, "I will not let the people who hurt you get away with it."

Zhou Ying asked her, "What do you want to do?"

Wen Li said, "Your current task is to eat, sleep, and adjust your mood. Don't worry about other things."

Zhou Ying advised her not to be impulsive, but she turned a deaf ear to her.

On this day, Yu Jingchen received a message from Wen Li for the first time, asking him about the time and place of Huo Yuanchen's class.

During the third class in the morning, in the teaching building of Haishi University, the professor on the stage had handsome features, was cold and aloof, and his every move was like a flower on a high mountain, out of reach.

The students in the audience were listening to the class quietly and did not notice when a beautiful woman walked into the back of the classroom.

The bell rang, and the professor packed up his lecture notes and left. In the lecture hall, the sound of high heels rang out: tap, tap, tap. It seemed like a deliberately designed rhythm, and every sound just touched the heart.

The students turned their heads and first saw a pair of slender and well-proportioned legs, then the curvy hips and waist, the proud cleavage, and finally a gorgeous and bright face.

The students had never seen the world before, and some of them gasped quietly.

The beauty walked straight to the podium, smiled brilliantly at the professor who was as calm as water on the stage, and said in a charming and charming voice, "Professor Huo, I have something to talk to you about."
