Chapter 234: Needs A Beating

Zhang Cuihua’s eyes shifted away. She didn’t have the courage to look at Gu Yan.

Meanwhile, the murmurs of the crowd around them grew louder.

Li Haili frowned when she saw the situation. “Zhang Cuihua, Gu Yan, come to my office.”

She held the pen and walked in front of the two girls.

Zhang Cuihua followed without missing a beat.

Shen Jiayi pulled Gu Yan’s sleeve with worry. “Gu Yan, what are we going to do?”

“Help me get a bag.” Thereafter, Gu Yan proceeded to Li Haili’s office.

Guo Rou, who was also worried, said, “It seems Gu Yan really wants to beat up Zhang Cuihua this time.”

This Zhang Cuihua was too wretched anyway. Even Guo Rou wanted to beat her up.

Gu Yan walked every step steadily.

She knew Zhang Cuihua framed her. Unfortunately, cameras were not available during this era, and they didn’t have the means to verify fingerprints for something this small.

It was tough to verify fingerprints. Given the object of the alleged offense, the higher divisions wouldn’t bother to go over the matter.

However, even if she might not receive any punishment from the captain, the latter might harbor some ill feelings towards her. In addition, her fellow comrades might even treat her as a thief.

In this era, if others doubted your character, it would be a struggle to go anywhere.

By then, even if she managed to get admitted in the First Empire Academy with outstanding scores, her reputation will be tarnished for life.

Gu Yan’s eyes flashed with a cold glint.

Her instincts told her this incident was related to Gu Moli!

At Li Haili’s office, Han Jiao was present too. Both of them had a great impression of Gu Yan.

Hence, they were puzzled by this matter.

Zhang Cuihua stared at Gu Yan’s cold eyes and took a deep breath.

“Captain, this is what happened. It was my turn to clean the dorm. I happened to see a fountain pen in Gu Yan’s drawer. I felt it was a bit familiar, and I realized it was the pen you used in writing. I know Comrade Gu Yan loves to study. Her handwriting is pretty and she loves using fountain pens, but…”

Zhang Cuihua turned her head, only to see Gu Yan’s calm expression despite her accusations. She couldn’t help but grit her teeth.

“Comrade Gu Yan, this is a grave misconduct. No matter how much you like the captain’s fountain pen, you can’t steal it!”

“Are you done?” Gu Yan sneered at Zhang Cuihua. The frost in her eyes seeped out.

Zhang Cuihua subconsciously took a step back.

“Explain how the captain’s pen ended up in your drawer then?!”

Han Jiao looked worriedly at Li Haili.

She subconsciously believed Gu Yan wasn’t the culprit. However, she didn’t know how to prove her innocence.

Li Haili maintained her gentle disposition. She sipped some water and looked at Gu Yan.

“Comrade Gu Yan, what do you think?”

Li Haili didn’t reveal whether she believed everything or not.

Zhang Cuihua became desperate. “Captain, you were certain it was the pen you lost! These few days, only Gu Yan went into your office alone. If it’s not her, who could it be?!”
