“What? How dare the police do something like that?” Shen Jun’s anger surged. He grabbed Wen Nian’s hand. “Let’s go get the video first. We’ll talk about the rest later.”

With Shen Jun’s help, Wen Nian successfully obtained the surveillance footage from the principal’s office.

Wen Nian also told Shen Jun what had happened just now. His expression became darker and darker. Anyone could understand that someone was determined to mess with Wen Nian.

“What do you plan to do? I can help you clarify things online. 1 was there. I can delete posts and comments that are unfavorable to you,” Shen Jun felt extremely guilty. He had never thought that things would turn out like this.

“You didn’t see it clearly either, did you? If you weren’t at the scene, she wouldn’t have thought of framing me. Wasn’t it just for you to see?” Although Wen Nian didn’t want to blame Shen Jun, all of this did originate from him.

Especially when she thought about how Jiang Chun had been crying in front of him earlier, her acting skills from her previous life and this life couldn’t even compete with the daughter of the Jiang Family. The thought of this made her sulky.

Shen Jun frowned and said, “Jiang Chun also mentioned just now that she’s willing to help you clarify. Just explain that she didn’t stand her ground at that time, and you didn’t push her. Besides…”

“So you believe her, right?” Upon hearing Shen Jun’s words, Wen Nian finally couldn’t hold back and expressed her inner thoughts.

“Shen Jun, you said you believe it wasn’t me who pushed her, and you’re willing to trust me. But you are also willing to believe Jiang Chun,right?”

Seeing that she had misunderstood, Shen Jun hurriedly explained, “Wen Nian, listen to me. I believe you.”

However, Wen Nian did not want to continue listening to his explanation. While Shen Jun was intelligent, he was a novice when it came to matters of the heart. He had allowed Jiang Chun to exploit his trust.

“Shen Jun, you’re very smart. So think about why someone managed to take a close-up photo of me pushing Jiang Chun into the water. Why did they release it just yesterday? Why didn’t they try to capitalize on my movie’s success? Why did they choose to release it yesterday, when Jiang Chun’s claim of delivering medicine for her grandmother was exposed and the campus forum was abuzz? Was it to incriminate me against Jiang Chun?”

“Someone had clearly clarified for me on the Internet before and filmed the video at that time. Why can’t 1 find the video at all? Many comments that were unfavorable to Jiang Chun have been deleted, and many IDs that targeted her have been blocked, but the attacks on me are still there?”

“Even if someone is trying to use Jiang Chun against me, let me ask you this who else knew about Jiang Chun’s idea to get you to invite me to the ancient town? Who could have made these preparations in advance?”

Wen Nian sighed again. “You’ve seen the surveillance cameras in the principal’s office just now, right? That male police officer must have been instructed by someone. You can tell that, right? So, who do you think has the power to manipulate the police to threaten me and frame me for attempted murder?”

Wen Nian posed a series of questions, and Shen Jun was unable to answer any of them.

In the past, he might have found excuses, thinking that Jiang Chun was merely being used, and she hadn’t said anything bad about Wen Nian to him. But each question from Wen Nian highlighted the holes in Shen Jun’s reasoning as well.

Seeing that her words had an impact, Wen Nian softened her tone. “I believe in you too. But did Jiang Chun always tell you that 1 was upset with her every time? Did she make you believe that I’m petty and unreasonable? Even when it’s not her fault, she always manages to find a way to apologize?”

“Shen Jun, did you ever feel that I was being unreasonable and tiring you out? But with Jiang Chun, you always thought she was understanding and took responsibility for everything. What made you have this impression?”

“You told me that you only knew Jiang Chun for a short time when you were kids, so you still see her as that innocent five-year-old girl. Is that right? But is the Wen Nian you’ve known just a woman who throws tantrums for no reason?”

Shen Jun was silent for a long time before saying, “I’m sorry.”

But aside from “I’m sorry,” he didn’t know what else to say.

He had indeed found Wen Nian tiring at times, and he had even suspected her for a moment when he saw Jiang Chun falling into the water. All of these were manifestations of his lack of trust. Even though he didn’t voice it, he was aware of it deep down.

But today’s events had given him a new understanding of Jiang Chun’s words and actions in the past.

“Let’s go back to the classroom. I’ll get my family to contact the lawyer after school.” Wen Nian didn’t say anything else and returned to the classroom.

Watching her solitary yet determined figure, Shen Jun suddenly felt a sense of loss..
