What exactly happened in the office, Zhen Hu didn't know.

He only knew that he and Mona waited at the school gate until it was almost dark before seeing the two people, looking dejected and with a hint of anger on their faces, walk out of the school.

"How did it go?" Zhen Hu strode forward, drawing close to Julian and the others to ask with concern.

"I wasn't expelled."

Lu Xiaoyao said this with a smile that didn't reach her eyes.

Julian didn't say a word. He had been paying attention to Lu Xiaoyao's emotions. Until Lu Xiaoyao said this, he reached out and put his arm around Lu Xiaoyao, trying to smile as he said, "Alright, you finally have a vacation to go home, don't let those annoying things affect your mood!"

Only when two people are happy can they get rid of negative emotions together.

As he said that, they also called Zhen Hu and Mona to walk back together.

Along the way, Mona and Lu Xiaoyao walked and gradually fell half a step behind the adults. Mona cautiously asked, "Daisy, are you really okay?"

"I'm fine, I wasn't expelled, just a demerit."

Lu Xiaoyao's tone wasn't particularly sad. She had vented all her anger in the school, and Julian's encouragement just now also made her feel that this matter was no big deal.

Actually, the main reason was that this was just a game.

If she encountered this in reality, Lu Xiaoyao's temper would definitely explode.

Now, being able to stay at the school and investigate the whereabouts of the bug near the Boss was enough.

Lu Xiaoyao thought, then turned her head to look at Mona again, but this glance was misunderstood by Mona.

"Are you blaming me for not being a witness for you?"

"Huh?"

"Aren't you blaming me for not telling others that you were called away?" Mona said this in a very small voice, constantly looking at Zhen Hu, who was walking in front with Julian, out of the corner of her eye, as if afraid of being heard.

"That? I forgot about that if you didn't mention it!" To Mona's surprise, Lu Xiaoyao waved her hand dismissively at this moment, and said, "Don't even think about testifying or anything, those people are determined to protect Seven, protect that dog Danny. Even if you testify, they might criticize you for telling lies, forget it, don't get involved."

Mona never expected Lu Xiaoyao to say this.

She didn't show the slightest bit of offense to her previous behavior.

"You don't care at all? You were wronged..."

Mona didn't know what she was thinking, but she watched Lu Xiaoyao's face change from gloomy with light rain to partly cloudy after leaving the school, as if the unlucky one just now wasn't herself.

"I care, but... A gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late. They're blind and don't use their brains now, that's all they'll ever be. I'll work hard in secret and crush them!"

Lu Xiaoyao thought, the bitter face she had just been wearing suddenly turned into a smile.

Immediately afterward, that brilliant smile turned into a rather wretched grin in the next second, leaving the opposite person speechless and with a look of wanting to say "mmp."

"Aren't you supposed to be indignant? Aren't you supposed to be sad? Resenting the injustice of fate, the unfairness of the world?"

"Ah, I am, but it's hard to live life always being indignant, I don't want to be like that all the time."

Lu Xiaoyao's look of a resigned, salted fish almost choked Mona to death.

"Oh well, that's all in the past, I've written down all the grudges in my little notebook, let's go, let's go, let's go back and eat!"

Lu Xiaoyao rarely mustered the courage to take the initiative to approach the Boss, hooking her arm around his, completely ignoring the incomprehending look in his eyes, and then darted to the two fathers in front of them and asked them to treat them to small cakes.

Saying the hot dog she had in the afternoon was too salty.

…

"I'm surprised that Lu Xiaoyao didn't end up like the two female students who were dealt with earlier."

After Yuan Fang and Bai Xiao left, Ming Mei and Mu Chen went to the enforcers again. On the way, Ming Mei conveyed the outcome of the matter through Lu Xiaoyao's perspective.

"So, Lu Xiaoyao is special to the Boss. She won't be kicked out of school."

Mu Chen also analyzed the matter. Ming Mei listened carefully, becoming somewhat worried about what would happen to Lu Xiaoyao later.

"According to your idea, Mona wants to create a new 'heroine'? Watching others fall step by step... is that what you mean?"

Ming Mei's original guess was that Mona might have seen Lu Xiaoyao as some kind of reference, like a projection of a part of herself in the past.

Ming Mei had already suspected that Mona had a father complex based on some of Mona's strange behaviors towards Zhen Hu, but then she remembered that the setting here was that Mona and Zhen Hu were only stepdaughter and stepfather, and Ming Mei didn't dare to think about even more terrifying guesses.

"Yeah... and, I think she might have done this more than once."

Mu Chen told Ming Mei about what he saw at the milk delivery company during the day.

"I went through the registration information of the people who ordered milk from the milk company, and I saw the milk ordering records of Mona's family."

"Hmm? Is there a problem?"

"Their home address was changed a year ago. It was a different address before. This is the address they've had for more than a year."

"They moved!"

Ming Mei suddenly remembered that Lu Xiaoyao remembered her character setting saying that Mona and she grew up together, were neighbors and classmates!

"What about Lu Xiaoyao? Is there any information about her family?"

Seeing Ming Mei like this, Mu Chen knew that Ming Mei had already discovered the key point, so he nodded and told Ming Mei that Lu Xiaoyao's family address had always been here.

"Not only that..." Mu Chen then told Ming Mei about another thing.

"Bai Xiao and Yuan Fang's original residence and address... was just across from Mona's house."

"Huh?!" Ming Mei's eyes widened, "Bai Xiao and the others were hiding it from us from the beginning?"

"Not necessarily." Mu Chen shook his head, looked at Ming Mei, and said, "Maybe, they are like Lu Xiaoyao and their characters..."

"Hmm?"

"Their memories were tampered with by the Boss, and they don't remember anything."

"How could this be?" Ming Mei couldn't figure out what the reason was, but she kept thinking back and forth about the information she had previously grasped about Bai Xiao and Yuan Fang's characters. Just when she was about to exhaust all the information, Ming Mei said uncertainly: "Is it... related to their dead daughter?"

"Maybe." Mu Chen sighed. He spent a long time checking this information during the day. He hadn't had time to check about the matter of that daughter of Bai Xiao's and the others' characters.

As soon as she heard that she was going to investigate the past of Chengdong High School again, Ming Mei perked up.

"I'll leave this matter to me, I'll find someone to ask." Ming Mei still remembered the convenience store uncle. Ming Mei's idea was that you have to fleece a sheep when you catch one!

However, before fleecing this sheep, Ming Mei and the others planned to fleece the enforcers bald first.
