Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 156 She finally felt Gu Yanci's love.



Chapter 156 She finally felt Gu Yanci's love.

Since even the top students at Beijing University are among the best in the world, the other students didn't believe that Wen Yan could get accepted into university in less than half a year. They started talking and looked at Wen Yan.

Gu Jinzhi looked at Gu Yanci with a sly eye and asked in a low voice, "Brother, aren't you worried?"

Gu Yanci looked at Gu Jinzhi with an expression of utter incomprehension towards someone with intellectual disabilities.

Gu Jinzhi: "..."

Was there something wrong with the word she asked?!

Jiang Huaixu stood on the edge of the podium, looking at Mingzhu as if she were a clown.

Wen Yan lowered her eyes and chuckled softly, as if she had heard a joke.

There was silence all around.

The dean's expression immediately became more serious than ever before.

He picked up the microphone again: "Wen Yan participated in our school's winter camp in the year she took the college entrance examination and achieved the top score in the comprehensive assessment, thus qualifying for admission to our school without taking the entrance exam. At the same time, Wen Yan participated in the National Olympiad in Informatics (NOI) in biology in the year she turned 15 and obtained admission qualifications from multiple schools without taking the entrance exam. In addition, Wen Yan participated in an international equestrian competition and won a gold medal, which can also be used for admission without taking the entrance exam. Taking the college entrance exam is a very serious matter. If there are any questions, all the records can be checked."

The audience was silent.

Whether it's through special channels in arts and sports, through Olympiads for individual talents, or through early admission to winter camps, Wen Yan's achievements are impeccable.

Are you insisting that she didn't take the college entrance exam?

However, among the people present, there are many who did not take the college entrance examination, or whose admission standards were lowered due to certain factors!

The National College Entrance Examination (NCEE) is like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate for ordinary people.

However, for naturally gifted players, that's just a basic pathway.

Jiang Huaixu picked up the microphone and suddenly said, "Mingzhu, if I remember correctly, you got into Imperial University because you were an art student. Have you forgotten?"

Mingzhu's face turned deathly pale.

She did indeed get into Imperial University of Beijing as an art student, which was something she had studied since she was a child, and she had spent so much effort and sweat on it!

Wen Yan... How did Wen Yan gain so much recognition so easily?

"The above clarification addresses the misunderstandings regarding Wen Yan caused by rumors circulating among various schools, colleges, and students during this period. If there are no further objections, this meeting is now adjourned. Please—"

"and many more!"

A female voice came in as the classroom door was pushed open.

The woman wore a khaki trench coat and light makeup, her appearance refined yet understated, with a touch of pitiful charm.

Everyone looked at her.

She gave a wan smile: "How can we talk about my affairs when I, the person involved, am not even here?"

Mingzhu's smile widened, but she said with feigned sadness, "Muzhi, I'm really sad for you. Your hand was seriously injured by Wen Yan, and now everyone is protecting Wen Yan. Nobody cares about you, the victim!"

Wen Muzhi walked up to the podium, looking down at Wen Yan with eyes full of hatred and heartache.

"Wen Yan, you dared to admit back then that you cut my hand, but now that you're an adult, you've become more cowardly and hypocritical than you were a few years ago! Look at the scars on my hand and tell me again, did you hurt me?"

Wen Muzhi raised his left hand, his sleeve slipped down, revealing obvious scars on his palm and wrist, which made people gasp.

"Because of this injury, I not only had to give up my favorite piano and lose my dream, but I will also suffer from the aftereffects for the rest of my life and will never be able to lift heavy objects again! This hand will never be able to do its most basic work again and will only be an accessory!"

The audience erupted in uproar:

"Wen Yan injured her back then?"

"She's so badly injured... Didn't they put Wen Yan in jail? Holy crap!"

"Mental illness doesn't break the law if it causes harm, but Wen Yan isn't mentally ill!"

"Didn't her dad say it wasn't Wen Yan?"

"But he's Wen Yan's father too. Who knows if he's biased?"

"That Wen Muzhi is so pitiful!"

……

Gu Jinzhi nervously clenched her hands together and glared at Jiang Huaixu a few times.

Wasn't this guy very protective of Wen Yan before? Why is he suddenly silent and making no move?

Gag Wen Muzhi and drag him away!

"Yanci...I...I didn't know any of this!" Wen Yonghai looked at Gu Yanci with a grim expression, afraid that he would blame him.

Gu Yanci's eyes were exceptionally cold and oppressive.

Wen Yonghai's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his face was filled with anxiety and anger.

Gu Jinzhi suddenly stood up, pointed at Wen Muzhi's nose, and unleashed a barrage of words like a small firecracker, her fighting power consistently high:

"Wen Muzhi! Months ago, you schemed against Wen Yan, making others believe that Wen Yan injured your hand. But what happened? The truth is that you pushed Wen Yan. You hurt Wen Yan, and accidentally bumped your own hand in the process, causing Wen Yan's hands to be severely injured, almost causing her to bleed to the point of shock! The way your hand is now is the result of your own evil deeds!"

Many people know that Wen Yan had injured her hands before. When she first appeared at school, her wrists were wrapped in gauze.

"Why are you bringing this up? Let's stick to the facts!" Wen Muzhi said coldly, as if he had nothing to lose. "Wen Yan, speak up! Tell the truth if you dare!"

Since her reputation is already ruined, she'll just ignore the time she hurt Wen Yan!

The shadows of so many years were like a shackle tightly binding Wen Yan's heart, deeply entrenched, making it hard for her to breathe in an instant.

In this game, her biggest disadvantage is that she doesn't remember what she was doing when Wen Muzhi had the accident.

She didn't believe she would do anything to hurt Wen Muzhi, after all, she genuinely liked Wen Muzhi as her older sister and thought he was very good to her.

However, she had no evidence to prove that it wasn't her.

Even when there was no other suspect, she admitted her 'mistake' under pressure and coaxing!

Wen Yan's face turned pale. She wanted to say, "It wasn't me," but she opened her mouth and couldn't utter a single word.

She is not good at lying, especially denying what she has said.

"Hahahaha!" Mingzhu's laughter was particularly abrupt and jarring in the huge lecture hall.

Jiang Huaixu narrowed his eyes and looked at Gu Yanci.

Just as Gu Jinzhi had sorted out her logic and prepared her lines for another battle, Gu Yanci finally received a nod from the head of the teaching department next to her.

He handed a document to the school for review ten minutes ago.

The director of the teaching affairs office handed the microphone to Gu Yanci.

Wen Yonghai and Gu Jinzhi both looked at Gu Yanci with the same puzzled expression as he walked onto the stage with the documents.

Gu Yanci's appearance was so outstanding and his aura so powerful that the lecture hall unconsciously fell silent.

The man's voice was deep and mellow: "Wen Muzhi, you injured your left hand in May five years ago. You said that Wen Yan caused the serious aftereffects on your hand."

A year ago, Wen Muzhi would never have believed that Gu Yanci would one day stand against her. But in just a few short months, everything has changed!

“Brother Ci, you were the one who found a top international medical team to treat my hand injury over the past few years. Don’t you know the timeline of my injury better than anyone?” Wen Muzhi said with a smile. “Similarly, if Wen Yan hadn’t accidentally injured me, why would you have gone to such lengths, spent so much time and money to help her atone for her sins?”

Wen Muzhi skillfully transformed Gu Yanci's actions into rhetoric that benefited her.

At times like this, the truth doesn't matter. With so many people talking, the scene is chaotic enough, and there's enough arguing, some people will believe Wen Yan is innocent, while others will believe that Wen Muzhi is the most pitiful victim!

Since her wonderful life has been ruined, Wen Yan should come and accompany her!

Gu Yanci waited patiently, and suddenly a report appeared on the blank screen, filled with dense medical terminology and diagnostic results, scrolling slowly from beginning to end.

After demonstrating it once, they started a second time, and then a third time.

On the first listen, most people didn't realize it.

During the second take, people started taking photos or recording videos with their phones.

By the third time, medical students had already begun discussing the contents of these diagnostic reports.

Gu Yanci's pronunciation was pleasant and clear; he seemed to be giving a unique speech.

"These reports all belong to Wen Muzhi."

The earliest document, dated six years ago, indicated that Wen Muzhi suffered a severe injury to the bones of her left wrist, the tendons of her ring and middle fingers due to an accident, which would affect the dexterity of her fingers.

The second report, dated a week before the alleged 'Wen Yan severely injured Wen Muzhi's left hand,' indicated that the finger would suffer permanent sequelae.

Over the next five years, the medical team I hired treated Wen Muzhi's hand and further confirmed that Wen Muzhi had an old injury in his hand. During this period, he also concealed his whereabouts and traveled to many countries in Europe and America to consult doctors and find out if there was any possibility of curing his left hand by combining the old injury with the treatment.

Six months ago, Wen Muzhi traveled to Country K and met with a psychiatrist. Two months ago, this doctor provided me with this report—a report showing that six years ago he provided Wen Muzhi with several medications that could cause auditory and visual hallucinations and mental confusion. Wen Yan happened to be experiencing auditory and visual hallucinations during that period, and Wen Muzhi had both the opportunity to administer and discontinue the medication.

This completes the loop between Wen Yan's admission to the mental hospital but her lack of mental illness!

After the presentation, the entire room fell silent.

Deathly silence.

Wen Yan stared at the man on the stage in shock.

He actually... researched so much information without her even realizing it...

A warm current seemed to rush into Wen Yan's heart, diluting the mixed feelings and leaving only her usual heartbeat.

At that moment, she truly felt the meaning behind Gu Yanci's words: Wen Yan, I like you.

At least, his feelings for her were not a reaction after she filed for divorce, but rather a test that lasted for years.

"I understand!" Gu Jinzhi clapped her hands. "Wen Muzhi, your hand already had a problem, but you used to have the reputation of being a piano prodigy. That was your most outstanding talent and title back then. If you don't want to bear the regret and consequences of your hand injury, you'll frame Wen Yan for it!"

"Hahahaha!"

A burst of maniacal laughter shattered the silence.

Everyone looked toward the source of the laughter.

Wen Muzhi's smile vanished as if possessed, and she finally understood why her appearance here had gone so smoothly. In the past half hour, no one had kicked her out, but instead allowed her to speak freely.

It turns out that Gu Yanci had been prepared all along, waiting for her to walk right into the line of fire!

Wen Muzhi laughed through his tears, a laugh more painful than bitterness, and looked at Gu Yanci with grief and indignation: "Gu Yanci, all these years, it turns out you weren't looking for someone to take care of me, but to monitor me!"

Collect evidence to clear Wen Yan's name while she is off guard!

Wen Yonghai was completely dumbfounded.

He looked at Wen Muzhi before him and felt utterly unfamiliar with her. His eldest daughter, whom he had always thought was understanding, gentle, and kind, was actually so cunning and vicious!

Years ago, she was able to drug Wen Yan and frame her for mental illness. A few months ago, she caused Wen Junming to overdose and be hospitalized. After that... will she also cause him to die silently?

That's terrifying! It's practically a venomous snake!

“But—” Wen Muzhi’s eyes gleamed with a hint of smugness, “Gu Yanci, none of what you’ve said proves that Wen Yan wasn’t the culprit who caused my injury. That night, it was just Wen Yan and me at home. No one else hurt me!”

“And yourself.” Jiang Huaixu said, his gaze falling on Wen Yonghai.

Wen Yonghai happened to be standing opposite Jiang Huaixu and immediately felt Jiang Huaixu's gaze. He looked up and met the man's smile, but the man's eyes were clearly filled with a deep coldness, which made Wen Yonghai's scalp tingle.

Jiang Huaixu is the only son of the Jiang family in Nancheng...

He looked at Gu Yanci again, and the latter glanced at him casually, but it made him feel as if he were facing a formidable enemy.

Wen Yonghai decided to go all the way and stood up, pointing at Wen Muzhi a few meters away: "That's right! And yourself! Wen Yan wasn't feeling well during that time, and I gave her sleeping pills before I left home, so there's no way she could have attacked you!"
