Chapter 501: Shifting Troubles To Others

Today, when Wen Miao went to school, she inexplicably felt that there was something strange everywhere in the school.
Carefully observing, she found that the source of this strangeness was surprisingly from herself!
“What happened?” Wen Miao murmured. She pushed open the classroom door, and the lively discussions inside abruptly stopped.
The class monitor, Chen Hao, stood up awkwardly, scratching his head. “Miao Miao, you’re here. The teacher asked you to go to the office; they said there’s something for you.”
“OK.” Wen Miao nodded lightly, her gaze subconsciously falling on a spot further back.
Mei Shu hadn’t arrived yet.
She sighed softly; it seemed she would have to wait a bit longer to see Mei Shu today.
Once she closed the door, the previously noisy corridor became quiet again.
All the passing students’ gazes lingered on her for a few seconds.
Wen Miao endured it all the way, but when she passed the restroom, she couldn’t take it anymore. She decided to go in and confirm whether she accidentally wore her underwear outside today. Otherwise, why would everyone seemingly stare at her butt?
Unfortunately, she looked at herself in the mirror, neatly dressed today. Although there were still some bruises on her face, a light layer of concealer made them less distinct.
Where did things go wrong?
Wen Miao couldn’t figure it out, so she simply washed her hands.
“Hey, did you see that video last night?”
“Saw it! 1 never thought something like that would happen, and it’s a student from our school!”
In the restroom cubicle, the whispers of two girls reached her ears.
Wen Miao turned off the tap, cautiously walked to the cubicle door, and eavesdropped.
“Do you know who uploaded that video? So many guys… I can’t imagine! That poor girl seems to be from the class next door!”
“Yeah, I’ve seen her acting like nothing happened these past few days. I never thought her injuries would come from something like this!”
Who were they talking about?
Wen Miao frowned, and the first person that came to her mind was Zhang Yue.
But Zhang Yue, disturbed and unwilling to go out, even rejected Wen Miao’s visit in the morning. Where did these two people, gossiping behind her back, see Zhang Yue?
“Now the whole school knows about it. If I were her, I would have hidden away long ago, never showing my face again!”
“Exactly, it’s so shameful. It’s better to die than endure this. But those guys are really beasts. The police should catch them quickly; otherwise, how can we, the girls living nearby, feel safe?”
The two continued to gossip as if no one else was around.
When they pushed the door, they found a furious girl standing at the entrance.
“Scared me! Aren’t you Wen Miao?” The two looked at each other in shock, then quickly realized and apologized, “Sorry, we didn’t mean to talk about those things behind your back. Just pretend you didn’t hear anything!”
“Stop!” Seeing them about to slip away, Wen Miao stopped them with an unfriendly expression. “What video were you talking about just now?”
The two of them froze and turned around with an embarrassed smile. “There’s no video. You heard wrong. Class is starting soon. We’ll leave first!”
“No, you’re not going anywhere!” Worried that what they said was related to Zhang Yue, Wen Miao took a tough stance. “Show me that video!”
“It’s better if you don’t look!” One of them looked at the wound on her face with sympathy.
Wen Miao stood in front of the two of them and said fiercely, “If you don’t show me that video, don’t even think about returning to the classroom before the bell rings!”
“You’re just causing trouble. We’re doing this for your own good!” The two, not very pleased, took out their phones, found the video uploaded to the school forum this morning, and handed it to her, saying, “After watching, don’t regret it!.”
Wen Miao took it expressionlessly.
She thought she would see a video related to Zhang Yue, hoping to find more evidence. However, when she saw the woman in the video with a face identical to hers, she froze in place, even her breath stopping.
As her face turned paler, the two girls, who were so tough just moments ago, also felt a bit guilty. Their voices involuntarily softened, “We told you not to watch. Oh, we really didn’t mean to say those things just now. We apologize to you. You should report this to the police quickly; keeping it hidden won’t benefit you at all!”
They thought that Wen Miao had been acting as if nothing happened these past few days, wanting to treat everything as if it never occurred.
But what they didn’t know was that Wen Miao wasn’t really harmed that night. The video only captured her being cornered by a group of guys in a small alley, and the rest was a product of the imagination guided by the person who posted the video.
But none of that mattered now. What mattered was why this video suddenly appeared on the school forum, deliberately titled to arouse imagination.
“A High School Girl Cornered By Four Men In A Dark Alley/ Despicable Behavior Is Disgusting!”
What does this even mean?
