God Ji Was About to Unleash Another Big Move

Fifteen minutes earlier.

In the administrative office, Qin Taizhang, dressed in casual clothes, personally welcomed Ji Chuxing and Zhou Sixue inside.

Zhou Sixue still had no idea what had happened.

She was still caught up in the fear of the whole school knowing she was a murderer's daughter. When she looked up, she saw the principal and Director Yan sitting in the office, while another uncle was looking at her eagerly.

"Student Zhou, this is Director Qin from the provincial bureau. Don't worry. We asked you here today mainly to learn a few things and to tell you about some matters as well."

Director Yan tried to make his voice gentler, but he was so used to being stern that the sudden change in style was a little hard to look at.

As he was speaking, Qin Taizhang suddenly looked at Ji Chuxing, who had entered behind Zhou Sixue, and said respectfully, "Miss Ji."

Everyone in the office: "?"

Ji Chuxing waved a hand and sat down to one side. "Don't mind me. Go ahead and talk."

With that, she pulled a sheet of milk tablets from her pocket, casually popped two out, and tossed them into her mouth.

Facing the stares of everyone in the office, Ji Chuxing promptly put the milk tablets back in her pocket, spread her hands, and said obediently, "They're gone."

The principal, Director Yan, and Old Huang: "..."

Old Huang could hardly bear to watch. Who wanted her milk tablets?

Even Zhou Sixue couldn't help letting out a giggle.

Qin Taizhang cleared his throat and asked gently, "Student Zhou, you're Zhou Ningcheng's daughter, aren't you?"

Zhou Sixue paused and nodded. "I am."

Sure enough, Qin Taizhang breathed a sigh of relief. "You've suffered all these years because of this wrongful conviction. Don't worry. Now that this matter is in my hands, I'll see that justice is done for you and your father."

Zhou Sixue was completely lost. "What? What do you mean, a wrongful conviction? Was there... more to what happened to my dad?"

Qin Taizhang nodded. Before Zhou Sixue arrived, he had already told the principal and Director Yan a little about it. There had indeed been more to Zhou Ningcheng's death back then.

Master Bao and the organization he belonged to had never been clean. They later claimed to have gone legit, but they continued to operate between South City and the South Pacific, dealing in illicit goods and conducting shady business. The International Special Security Bureau had long had its eye on them.

The relevant forces in the south had also been trying to find evidence to take them all down in one fell swoop.

But Master Bao had connections on both sides of the law, and it wasn't easy for the South City police to deal with him alone. Besides, he really had reined himself in somewhat over the past two years, and the International Special Security Bureau had been busy with other matters and seemed to have gradually relaxed its surveillance of them.

Zhou Ningcheng had appeared to be an honest truck driver, but he was actually an undercover agent whose name could not be disclosed.

The name he could use in public wasn't this one. Qin Taizhang had nearly failed to recall it until Ji Chuxing reminded him last night.

And his supposed car accident naturally hadn't been a simple accident either.

Qin Taizhang was a man of swift and decisive action, and with Deputy Director Zheng having given himself away, he had uncovered quite a few things in a single night.

Zhou Sixue listened in a daze as tears welled up in her eyes.

So her dad wasn't a murderer. He was a hero!

They were all wrong. The people who had mocked and cursed her were all wrong.

Qin Taizhang said, "It's all thanks to Miss Ji. Otherwise, this case might have been buried in the archives by someone with ulterior motives, with no one paying it any attention. I neglected my duties. Little Zhou, don't worry. I'll see that justice is done for you and your father."

Zhou Sixue nodded firmly and looked at Ji Chuxing with shining eyes.

Ji Chuxing bit through a milk tablet with a crunch. Zhou Sixue's stare made her uncomfortable all over, so she slowly pulled a tablet from her pocket and held it out. "Here."

Zhou Sixue suddenly threw herself forward and hugged Ji Chuxing. "God Ji, thank you so much!"

Ji Chuxing stiffened all over, and the stray tuft of hair on her head bristled. She held herself back and didn't fling the little flower that was Zhou Sixue away.

Qin Taizhang said sternly, "I've heard about what happened on your school forum. There's more to both Student Ji being taken away yesterday and what happened to Little Zhou today. One is an important witness, and the other is a hero's child. I hope the school can handle this properly. Don't let a hero go to his grave with grievances!"

The principal's expression turned solemn. "Director Qin, rest assured, we'll protect both students."

Zhou Sixue nodded firmly.

Ji Chuxing: "..."

That really won't be necessary, thanks!

The matter was serious, so Qin Taizhang kept Zhou Sixue behind to talk. Ji Chuxing didn't stay long and left early.

"So... the stuff on the school forum was all bullshit? Zhou's dad was the victim!" Zhao Feifei finally understood.

Lu Xing clenched his fists until his knuckles cracked. "A bunch of rumor-spreading flies. I'm going to cripple them!"

Of course, Ji Chuxing wouldn't tell her classmates everything about Zhou Sixue. Zhou Ningcheng had been an undercover agent, and his true identity couldn't be revealed even after his death. Qin Taizhang couldn't disclose it either. The public explanation had always been that there had been a mistake in the case back then, that it was a wrongful conviction, and that Zhou Ningcheng was the victim.

The people in Class 16 generally accepted this. Thinking back on the vile things said on the forum, they remembered that Zhou Sixue was a gentle girl, pretty and adorable, and that they were usually too embarrassed even to raise their voices at her.

A gentle girl from Class 16 had been bullied like this. Who could swallow that insult?

A group of them immediately grabbed their phones and started arguing with people on the forum again.

Just then, Old Huang brought Zhou Sixue back.

Taking advantage of the break between classes, Old Huang said a few words. "Although the school doesn't allow phones, I know you're more aware of what's happening on the forum than I am. I won't say much else. I hope the rumors won't spread from our class. Student Zhou is the victim, and every one of us is here to support one another. The principal will handle this, so none of you do anything rash."

When Old Huang finished, he left with his hands clasped behind his back.

Several girls in the class also crowded around Zhou Sixue to comfort her, cursing the people on the forum who had hurt her with their malicious words.

Some people had slandered Zhou Sixue's reputation without knowing the truth at all, while others attacked indiscriminately. Even the one or two who spoke up for her were drowned out by the attacks across the internet.

"They only dare say those things because the forum is anonymous. Who knows what kind of trash is hiding behind that anonymity!"

Zhao Feifei strode over and hooked an arm around Zhou Sixue's neck. "Little Sisi, don't be afraid. Sister Fei has your back from now on!"

Wu Hao and the others patted their chests too. "That's right. Class 16 has your back from now on!"

Zhou Sixue was overwhelmed by the attention and kept bowing and thanking them. "Thank you!"

Zhao Feifei bit down on her lollipop. "Brother Xing, let's pay the network center a visit. Whoever dared make posts like that must not know how to spell Sister Fei!"

Lu Xing stepped forward. "Let's go!"

"Right! We can check the backend directly. We'll find the posters sooner or later!"

Ji Chuxing took a sip of cola and let out a little exclamation of refreshment. "No need to go to all that trouble."

Everyone looked at her, their eyes shining.

God Ji was about to unleash another big move!

Ji Chuxing waved her new phone. "The initial account for registering on the school forum is your student number. There, the student numbers and names are now visible across the whole site. Just look."

Everyone was stunned. They whipped out their phones to look.

They wouldn't have known if they hadn't looked, but one look gave them a shock!

Holy crap!

What a parade of ghosts and monsters!

Ji Chuxing, meanwhile, lay down on her desk and began snoring away.

Milk tea kept her awake, and she hadn't gotten enough sleep again last night.
