CHAPTER 52: CHAPTER 52: NO LATER THAN TUESDAY

He is restraining himself, using all his patience to endure.

"I checked on the leaders of the group, it’s mostly those with brothers or sisters who are close to Rong Jiaojiao, or who are close with Shen Xingwei. Basically, they’re all on that side, eager to be Shen Xingwei’s lackeys, trying to find a sense of presence by aligning themselves with Qiaoqiao."

Zhang Tan asked Shen Jue, "Qiaoqiao seems unaffected, but considering her young age, it’s unclear how strong her psychological resilience actually is."

"Also, did you know that Qiaoqiao scored zero on this Chinese exam?" Zhang Tan asked.

"I know, she said she accidentally fell asleep during the exam," Shen Jue’s voice was hoarse.

"Qiaoqiao lied to you," Zhang Tan sighed. "Her Chinese teacher was supervising her exam, and in the exam room, the teacher hinted at some provocative remarks, which angered Qiaoqiao. In a fit of rage, she tore the exam paper and left the room."

"The conflict between Qiaoqiao and this teacher started way back in her first year. Because Qiaoqiao was young and somewhat naive, when the teacher showed off some newly bought clothes to colleagues, Qiaoqiao bluntly pointed out that the teacher bought fake goods. This incident embarrassed the teacher, but due to the backing of the Shen Family, the teacher didn’t dare retaliate."

In this matter, Qiaoqiao was indeed wrong. A girl used to being the center of attention, she failed to consider other people’s feelings. But is it really right for the teacher, an adult, to hold such grudges against a student?

"Half a year ago, when you and your father encountered trouble and the head of the Shen Family changed, with Qiaoqiao being isolated by her classmates, the teacher probably figured Qiaoqiao is now easier to manipulate, hence frequently making sarcastic remarks towards her."

With that, the investigation details were fully disclosed.

Zhang Tan sighed repeatedly, sometimes thinking that growing up isn’t good, feeling that the world after growing up is filled with darkness and conflict.

Looking back, not everyone’s childhood was spent growing up in a bright and cheerful world.

It’s not that the world becomes filled with darkness and conflict after growing up, but some people harbor a demon within their hearts.

This demon grows along with them, becoming more powerful.

"The second house is still monitoring your every move, so even though you’re eager, it’s unwise to hastily get involved and arouse suspicion. Stay rational, don’t let your past six months of silent endurance go to waste," Zhang Tan advised Shen Jue.

"Since Rong Qingqing asked me to investigate this matter, let’s wait to see how she’ll handle it, give it a few days, and if she doesn’t take any action, then we’ll make plans."

The issue with Shen Qiao didn’t start today, so if Shen Jue handles it unceremoniously, it would easily catch the attention of the second house.

If Rong Qingqing deals with this issue, it would be the most logical approach.

However, handling this matter isn’t simple, so Zhang Tan wasn’t sure if Rong Qingqing, even if she intends to intervene, will manage it well.

After all, mishandling this situation would only worsen Qiaoqiao’s circumstances.

Zhang Tan said, "If Rong Qingqing does take charge, we could secretly arrange for someone to assist, which shouldn’t be a problem."

Shen Jue remained silent for a long time, before finally making a decision, "Today is Saturday, we’ll wait until Tuesday at the latest."

"Wednesday? If there’s no response from Rong Qingqing by Wednesday, then we’ll proceed with our plan," Zhang Tan proposed.

"We’ll wait until Tuesday," Shen Jue didn’t want Shen Qiao to continue studying in such an environment even for a single day.
