Chapter 381 'Whispering' Revelation
Li Li kept talking the whole way, and insisted on holding Song Tingnan's arm. When Tingnan tried to shake her off, she said tremblingly that she was scared, afraid that someone would suddenly run over and grab her again.
Song Tingnan thought to herself, "Just bear with it, we'll be there soon."
"Sister, you...this is the Police Station?" Li Li stared in astonishment at the police badge hanging at the entrance of the Police Station.
"Yes, if you have any problems, go to the police! The people's police are the defenders of the country's laws and will protect our rights. Tell the police about your problem, and they will protect you."
Li Li stopped in her tracks, looked at Song Tingnan with disdain, and said, "You're so childish!" Then she turned and ran away.
Is it childish? It doesn't matter, I'm leaving now. Ting Nan walked towards the dormitory.
Du Hongzhi was filming out of town when he called Song Tingnan, apologizing profusely and promising to resolve the matter as soon as possible.
Song Tingnan smiled and advised him to focus on filming, "Don't blame yourself too much. The matter hasn't been investigated clearly yet, and we don't know who has implicated whom."
As soon as Du Hongzhi learned the truth, he wanted nothing more than to rush back. He wouldn't allow outsiders to slander the girl he held dear. He desperately wanted to tell the whole world—this girl was someone he truly wanted to marry, but she simply wouldn't give him the chance.
Long-distance calls are expensive, and Du Hongzhi is reluctant to hang up. He said he has already drafted a complaint and found the best lawyer. The drama is almost finished filming, and he will be back soon.
In the end, Song Tingnan hung up the phone first. Then she talked to the lawyer and found out that if the conditions for filing a case were met, it would take about ten days. If the lawsuit went smoothly, it would take more than half a month to serve the complaint to the defendant.
Du Hongxue knew the waiting time was coming, so he told Zhao Yong and Manager Yao to go back and handle matters in Anxi City first, as there was no need for them to wait here. Zhao Man insisted on staying to keep an eye on things, and Zhao Yong and the others would come over later.
Song Tingnan attended class as usual, but Jin Jie acted strangely. He was absent-minded during class and would immediately avoid Tingnan when he saw her in class, not even daring to look her in the eye.
Xia Jiaoyang, on the other hand, was still as youthful and lively as ever, and would greet Song Tingnan with a bright smile.
Lin Guo found the smile dazzling, and after much restraint, with Ting Nan's permission, she whispered to her classmates, "Did you know? Du Hongzhi has filed a lawsuit."
"Really?"
"Who are you suing? What crime are you accusing them of?"
"That must be the person who secretly photographed him. He's a 'celebrity,' and this slander and defamation is an invasion of his privacy and portrait rights..."
"Exactly! Du Hongzhi is not only handsome, but also a great fighter. Have you seen his portrayal of Huo Yuanjia? He's absolutely amazing!"
"Yes, yes, my whole family loves watching his TV dramas and movies. They're incomparable to those soap operas."
"Don't forget, he also performed a song that made him a legend; his voice was melodious and beautiful..."
"He will definitely succeed in his lawsuit; I heard he has a very strong legal team."
"Those people are just bored and have nothing better to do. They say that Du Hongzhi is thirty years old and still not married, and that he has a messy private life just because he gets close to women. I don't know where these old feudal people come from. It doesn't bother them. What's wrong with having a normal relationship? Celebrities are people too."
"Hehe, have you guys noticed that Senior Nan and Du Hongzhi are actually quite a good match? Senior Nan is highly educated and beautiful, while Du Hongzhi is tall and handsome."
"Yeah, I think so too. I heard that Senior Nan can also act, right? Although there's a slight age difference, she would be good as the Thirteenth Aunt. Besides, they're both single."
“Hey, Du Hongzhi is our male god, why are you trying to pair him up? Even if Senior Nan is outstanding and beautiful, it won’t work. They’re not on the same level.”
"Yes, senior is too cold, not charming enough..."
Lin Guo didn't stop the gossip from going completely off-topic; as long as someone received the message she wanted to convey, that was enough.
In the dormitory, Lin Guo squeezed into Song Tingnan's bed and whispered in her ear, "Tingnan, do you think this matter is really about Xia Jiaoyang and the others? Today, when she heard that Du Hongzhi had filed a lawsuit, she only frowned slightly. If I hadn't been keeping a close eye on her, I wouldn't have noticed."
"I'm not sure either. If it really is her, her composure is quite admirable."
"I'm really impressed with you. You admire her? If I were being watched by someone so scheming, I'd feel uncomfortable all over, worrying all the time, and I'd probably get tricked by her." Lin Guo hugged her arms tightly.
"I'm upset too. Right now, we don't have any evidence, so we can only wait for the lawsuit to be filed and then, through the school, force the person who submitted the anonymous tip to expose their true colors."
The school's intervention has far more deterrent effect than ours. Those with a guilty conscience should come forward. Getting into university isn't easy; trying to get leniency from the school so it doesn't jeopardize their future is far better than petty gains and empty promises.
