CHAPTER 184: 184: THE SUBSIDY FOR THE CULTURAL TROUPE VANISHED INTO THIN AIR

The issue was more or less resolved.

Qi Difei’s transfer to the Academy became justified, and he got the first-time information about the special organization, which could be considered a merit-worthy action.

Everything became rationalized, and Li Yan also repaid him a favor.

...

Around three in the afternoon.

They drove the jeep back to the Academy. As the car wheels rolled over the boundary of the Academy, their honeymoon came to an end.

Upon returning to the Academy, Li Yan didn’t choose to rest but instead went non-stop to the officer’s office to report the situation, whereas Gu Tong returned to Class One to rest, which was a reasonable arrangement.

Sunshine fell on her body, conveying a trace of warmth. Gu Tong stretched lazily, yawned comfortably, and walked towards the inner area. But just then, a low voice came from behind her!

"Gu Tong, is that you..."

A hoarse voice, pulling out a tearing sound hard to listen to, yet filled with countless pleas and hopes in the eyes.

Gu Tong was startled, turned her head instinctively, her eyes wide with disbelief, she said, "Bei Jiafei?"

Bei Jiafei stood behind her, her hair disheveled, face deathly pale, eyes listless, lips cracked, looking neither human nor ghost. Her body trembled, her voice tinged with sobs, "Gu Tong, I’m ruined... I’m completely ruined..."

Ruined! Why?

Gu Tong frowned and said, "This is not the place to talk. Come with me!"

She could guess what the issue was, especially after hearing Bei Jiafei’s hoarse voice!

However, she clearly remembered that in her past life, Bei Jiafei only lost her voice after making a stunning impact!

How could something go wrong now!

...

Trainees from Class One also have special resting rooms. This was reported specifically to the higher-ups and is considered the most comfortable resting place in the group, with all items complete within.

Gu Tong placed Bei Jiafei on the sofa to rest and poured her a glass of hot water, calmly saying, "Calm yourself first, then tell me, it’s not too late."

Bei Jiafei was very agitated, her body kept trembling, tears flowed from her eyes uncontrollably, like a breached dam.

Gu Tong could easily guess what Bei Jiafei went through during this period, how painful it must have been, but this wasn’t the focus; the most important thing was why she had turned out this way!

"The subsidies for the Art Class disappeared, there was a commotion recently, and the professor led people to search everywhere but found the money under my bed..."

"Money?" Not the voice, but a money issue!

"Gu Tong, believe me, I’m not that kind of person, I’ve been framed... I didn’t take the money from the group, I didn’t, I really didn’t..."

She admitted that she was poor, but she wouldn’t do such petty stealing, someone must have set her up.

"Then you should explain to the group, what’s the use of telling me?"

Gu Tong poured herself a glass of hot water, feeling relieved as she could be sure this wouldn’t cause Bei Jiafei to leave the Art Class, otherwise, she wouldn’t be sitting in front of her now.

"I suspect it was Qiu Xue who did it..."

These words fell, causing Gu Tong to frown. She sipped her hot water and calmly said, "Why do you say that?"

"Because I didn’t listen to you, didn’t hide myself well, I couldn’t control my emotions, so she discovered something, Gu Tong, believe me, she definitely did it... I swear..."
