Chapter 136 (Are You Ready?) The Wise An’an Deduces the Truth

“Wanxin must have also asked you, right? Because you remain neutral and don’t help either of us,” Lin Wenxi said.

Zhang An’an nodded. “Usually, you like sharing your things with Gu Xi and Gu Xi likes talking to me. Thus, Wanxin also has asked me everything about you. However, I don’t even dare to speculate about what has happened to you. How can I draw any conclusion? I guess that she must be afraid of you, so she came to ask me. She should also be scared of Instructor Zhang.”

Lin Wenxi listened with interest.

“Zhang Dong has become a wanted criminal for the time being. He has contacted you through paper notes. Then he certainly can get in touch with you through other means. At present, all the evidence proves that Zhang Dong killed Zhao Yuan’s father, and this note gives me two directions to analyze this matter. The first direction is that Zhang Dong was coerced into murdering Zhao Yuan’s father. The second direction was that Zhang Dong tried to use this note to cover up his crime. Well, I am quite sure that this note from Zhang Dong points to the first direction.”

“Why do you believe Zhang Dong so much?” Lin Wenxi asked.

“Don’t try to trap me. You cannot do anything to me even if I tell you that I made the judgment by my intuition.” Zhang An’an smiled slightly, and a touch of redness appeared on her pale face.

Immediately, Lin Wenxi stopped asking and begged, “An’an, please don’t humiliate me.”

“Well, forget it. Wenxi, even you would have such an embarrassing moment. Hey, from the time I knew that you could hide your father so deep, I realized that you are just kind and honest. But you are definitely not so naive like Gu Xi and Xiaoman.” Zhang An’an seemed to be a little tired, Lin Wenxi hurriedly took a pillow and put it behind her back.

“I never rely on my intuition. The basis of my judgment is evidence,” said Zhang An’an.

“Do you know why Xiaoman is not so close to me as before?” Zhang An’an asked.

Lin Wenxi shook his head. He really could not guess the private things between girls.

“Long time ago, Xiaoman, she complained tearfully to me and asked me why I would rather tell the thing that Zhang Dong had done to you to Chen Wanxin than to her. I wanted to deny it immediately, but then I admitted right on the spot that it was me who told Chen Wanxin that. Do you know why?” Zhang An’an looked at Lin Wenxi, playfully.

“You really have to test my IQ all the time.” Lin Wenxi gave her a gentle smile. After thinking for a little while, he suddenly shuddered all over and gasped in shock. “My God! She knew!”

Zhang An’an nodded slightly. “You have got the point! The best horse stumbles, so does a person. Chen Wanxin is always thinking of provoking my relationship with Xiaoman, but she accidentally exposed herself. She knows about the thing that happened between you and Zhang Dong. What’s more, she didn’t learn this thing from you! I believe that except for Gu Xi and Zhao Yuan, you wouldn’t tell anyone about the thing that happened between you and Zhang Dong! Since Wanxin knows the fact, there is only one possibility: she let someone report Zhang Dong! But who reported Zhang Dong? Of course, it was Instructor Luo who always stayed around her! As a subordinate of Zhang Dong, he knew very clearly what is fatal to Zhang Dong.”

“An’an, at that time, you could react in such a short time and didn’t retort upon Xiaoman such that you saved her and protected yourself. But, it was just that you have to suffer after that! What will you do if Wanxin knows that you have admitted the thing that you should not have admitted?” Lin Wenxi asked.

“I believe that with Chen Wanxin’s wisdom, she would never provoke Xiaoman in a direct way like that. If the two of them confronted face to face, the truth would come out. How could she be so stupid? She must have given Xiaoman a vague answer. As for Xiaoman, sometimes she thought that it was me who told that to Chen Wanxin, and sometimes she thought it was Zhao Yuan. She might have thought it was you who said that. But Xiaoman was still uncertain. Finally, she suspected that I did that, so I had to admit it. In this way, she certainly will not go to seek confirmation from Wanxin. Therefore, Wanxin is unlikely to know what had happened,” said Zhang An’an.

“But, even if you had denied it at that time, Xiaoman might not have gone to ask Zhao Yuan the same question, right?” Lin Wenxi asked.

“Why would Xiaoman suspect me? Because she also did not believe that Zhao Yuan would tell Wanxin about this. If I had denied it, she would have felt nervous and uncertain. Thus, she might tell someone else about this later on. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can easily see that Zhao Yuan actually likes you. He uses his life to love you.” Zhang An’an chuckled to herself, and Lin Wenxi could not help blushing slightly to his ears.

“I swear that I will not say a word about anything you said to me today. I will zip my lips!” Lin Wenxi said firmly.

“Thank you. I have nothing to do with these things. I know how to deal with it. You can rest assured. You know that I am capable of handling all of this, so you come to ask me. You didn’t ask Xiaoman because you were afraid of getting her into trouble and you didn’t trust her that much. Am I right?” Zhang An’an smiled with appreciation.

“Xiaoman, sometimes she considers things in a too simple way. But she is very nice and kind, “Lin Wenxi said thoughtfully, “An’an, please go on.”

“Why could Chen Wanxin know the matter? This question is key! You didn’t tell Zhao Yuan about it in person, did you? During that time, you looked so depressed and subdued, and you could not tell Zhao Yuan about that thing.” Zhang An’an analyzed.

Lin Wenxi nodded in admiration.

“I remember that Gu Xi told me that it was Zhao Yuan who pulled you into the woods to find Zhang Dong, who was determined to die at that time. Zhang Dong had decided to kill himself at that time. I guess that means Zhao Yuan learned this from either Zhang Dong or Wanxin. Even if Wanxin knew the thing about you and Zhang Dong a long time ago, she would not be too stupid to tell Zhao Yuan about this. She would instead write big-character posters and posts about this thing and let someone send these posters and posts to the school forum! Just like she let someone to cook up the story that you got AIDS and spread the news around,” said Zhang An’an.

“The school forum...” Lin Wenxi had never been to the school forum, so he certainly didn’t know about these things.

“You should blame Zhao Yuan for the foolish thing he did. You must remember the thing that you ignored him once, and then he became jealous. Feeling his head swimming, he told the person sitting beside you that you got AIDS. After that, Wanxin put the thing that you got AIDS into a post and sent it to our school forum. Xiaoman and I found the senior student who was in charge of the school forum and seduced him. Then we successfully made him delete the post. Of course, Xiaoman was the main force, and I acted as an assist,” Zhang An’an said with a smile.

“I didn’t know that there is such a thing! An’an, thank you very much!” Lin Wenxi said.

“There is nothing to thank me for. Xiaoman and I, we want you to be with Zhao Yuan from the very beginning. It is probably because both of us are genuine fujoshi... But now, it becomes increasingly difficult for me to see many things clearly. After having experienced such a life-and-death disaster together, you and Zhao Yuan should have stayed together all your lifetimes. But recently, I heard from Gu Xi that you two are drifting apart only for the last words reported by someone else. Alas...” Zhang An’an stared at Lin Wenxi, raising her eyebrows.

“It’s a long story to tell,” said Lin Wenxi.

“Let’s talk about these things when everyone’s mental wounds close up. Anyway, Gu Xi said that Zheng Kai’s father had extremely contempt for you, Gu Xi, and himself. It is not that I am rude to the dead, but perhaps, he relayed the false last words. But I really cannot understand why Zheng Kai’s father insisted on saying that Zhao Yuan and Wanxin should get married,” Zhang An’an said while smiling.

“Let’s go back, go back to our topic just now.” Lin Wenxi forced himself to make her stop talking more about that.

“Haha!” Zhang An’an gave him an understanding smile. “Okay, we denied the possibility of the second direction. Therefore, Zhang Dong must have said it to Zhao Yuan himself. He admitted to Zhao Yuan in person that he had done these things. However, how could Chen Wanxin know the time and place of these things? There is only one possibility: Chen Wanxin had long known all the movements of Zhang Dong. Someone had already started to tail Zhang Dong at an earlier time. Moreover, the person might have overheard, or even more likely, have recorded the conversations when Zhang Dong confessed those things to Zhao Yuan. Otherwise, without any evidence, why could someone win the case at the first try, especially when Zhang Dong was one of the hottest students in the military school at that time?” Zhang An’an said thoughtfully.

“It’s a recording.” Lin Wenxi said affirmatively. He remembered what the company commander had said.

“Well, you are right. Most likely, it is a recording,” Zhang An’an said flatly while smiling, “I heard that in order to develop their power, sinister gangs will do favors to those students in sports schools or military schools as early as possible. Then, those gangs can make the students do dirty things for them. At the same time, they will collect the evidence. Threatening those students with the evidence, the gangs will force them to make a guarantee. With the high reward and the guarantee, many of those students have to choose the road of no return. Zhang Dong, he is likely to be one of the victims. Behind Chen Wanxin, there is a huge sinister gang, which is an extremely horrible group. I say it is extremely horrible because they still attempted to attack you when they had already known your background. Meanwhile, they seized the opportunity to ask Zhang Dong to lay his murderous hands on Zhao Yuan’s father. Wenxi, are you fully aware of the danger?” Zhang An’an asked Lin Wenxi seriously.

When Lin Wenxi finished listening to the analysis of Zhang An’an, he was suddenly enlightened. He sighed with surprise. “An’an, if you were born in ancient times, then Zhuge Liang could not no longer be the symbol of wisdom.”

Shaking her head, Zhang An’an said, “I have misjudged you and Zhao Yuan. I thought you were just a very delicate son from an official or literary family. I finally realized that you are invulnerable and stubborn. And I have never imagined that you are so persevering in the face of difficulties. I thought that Zhao Yuan was just a ruffian from a declining rich family. But I have never thought that under his sophisticated and rascal exterior, he is so upright, but also so unfortunate. Similarly, I cannot understand and see though Wang Xiang, the person I was lying next to in bed.”

“Wang Xiang may not be able to see through himself. How can we fully understand him?” Lin Wenxi said.

“You are really good at blocking my questions. I was about to ask your opinion,” Zhang An’an said, smiling.

“It’s not all like that. Even if I have stayed in the same dorm with him for a very long time, I don’t quite understand him.” Lin Wenxi smiled shamefully.

“Wenxi, in the future, don’t ask me anymore! I have to keep out of all your affairs. It is not that I cannot take on the responsibilities. I have problems that I don’t want to talk about. I hope you can understand,” Zhang An’an said.

“I understood,” Lin Wenxi said with a smile.

“Wenxi, well, are you ready for real?” Zhang An’an asked.

Lin Wenxi said with a smile, “I prepared with my life!”

Zhang An’an couldn’t help shedding tears. “If you can’t, leave yourself a way open for the future. Always remember to stay safe!”

“Since Zhao Yuan intended to follow his father’s last words, half of me has been buried in the coffin already. An’an, thank you!” Lin Wenxi smiled sadly and took his leave.
