Chapter 171 - Qin Lu in the Photo!
Chapter 171: Qin Lu in the Photo!
Qin Lu’s pupils constricted when she heard them mention an IP address.
Qin Shuang frowned and looked at Qin Lu.
Qin Lu was a little flustered, but she did not speak and just lowered her head.
Xue Xi and Qin Shuang went up on the stage. When they received the brocade flags, the principal praised them for their courage. Jing Fei then said, “We’ll keep all the students’ information from that school a secret. It’s impossible for it to be exposed. Everyone, don’t worry. Those photos have been destroyed long ago. Those photos on the Internet are all fake! As for the picture of this school’s student, Qin Shuang, we’re still investigating it. We still need the school’s cooperation.”
The principal instantly said, “No problem. Whatever it is, we will definitely do our best to help! Our school will definitely push back against such a despicable act of revenge!”
Jing Fei nodded and said, “Shall we talk in the office?”
“Sure.”
Before the police and the principal left, Jing Fei approached Xue Xi and said, “Sister Xi, add me on WeChat. If there is any progress in the case, I can contact you at once.”
Xue Xi: “…Oh.”
After the police left, the entire scene exploded. Everyone surrounded Qin Shuang. “Qin Shuang, so you went there to help solve the case? That sounds so cool!”
“That thing about your photo must have been done by the elite school trying to take revenge.”
“That’s not right. Didn’t the police say that those people were arrested? So then, those photos that were leaked must have been photoshopped, right?”
There were also girls who could smile and joke at this moment. “I think that photo is fake too. Qin Shuang is really gifted in that department! The ones in that photo are not full enough!”
While everyone was joking, Xue Xi’s phone rang. When she picked it up, she saw that it was a message sent by Little Pigeon, who had just added her on WeChat. “Sister Xi, we’ve already checked a portion of the computers. Our preliminary investigation indicates that the computer used to post the pictures is from your third-year cohort.”
Third year…
Xue Xi looked at Qin Lu.
She asked: “Did anyone tamper with the photo?”
Little Pigeon: “The photo is real. There are no signs of tampering. It’s probably to prevent professionals on the Internet from remarking on it.”
Upon seeing this line of words, Xue Xi suspected that it was sent by Qin Lu. After all, Qin Shuang had definitely not taken that photo before.
Just then, Mrs. Qin and Mr. Qin, who had received the news, rushed over.
When the two arrived at the field, they saw them.
At this moment, Xue Xi had just sent Little Pigeon’s WeChat message to Qin Shuang. Qin Shuang was not stupid. After thinking about it, she quickly understood what was going on.
She glared at Qin Lu in disbelief. Suddenly, she walked up to her and raised her hand. “Pa!”
A vicious slap landed on Qin Lu’s face. Qin Lu’s face turned red from the slap. She widened her eyes and was about to speak when she saw her parents rushing over. She hurriedly put on an expression of being wronged after being slapped and covered her face without saying a word.
Qin Shuang was still angry even after giving that slap. She only felt that Qin Lu’s actions were despicable and disgusting.
Right.
The police had helped her cover it up.
But were the others also students who’d graduated from that elite school? Although the photos were not exposed and the police had kept the list of students who graduated from there a secret, people surrounding them still knew about it.
When those people found out that the other party had such a past, how ashamed would the other party have felt?
Some of them were already married while others were discussing marriage. Would their other half mind?
Sometimes, a kind gesture was the best remedy.
However, in order to deal with her sister, Qin Lu had exposed all of those students’ pain!
Qin Shuang was so angry that she wanted to punch Qin Lu, but just as she took a step forward, Mrs. Qin had already been tricked. She rushed over and grabbed Qin Shuang, shouting angrily, “What are you doing?”
Qin Shuang looked at Mrs. Qin and was stunned.
She could not help but smile bitterly.
It started again.
Her mother had been like this since Qin Shuang was young. Qin Lu was clearly the one who did something bad, and she would always anger Qin Shuang. When Qin Shuang flared up, Mrs. Qin would arrive.
Hence, in Mrs. Qin’s eyes, she, Qin Shuang, was the one who had always been bullying Qin Lu. It was as though…
Qin Lu said hypocritically, “Mom, I’m fine. Xiao Shuang is in a bad mood and needs to vent. Don’t worry, Xiao Shuang. I’ll move out of the house today so that you can go home…”
Initially, when Qin Lu gave in, Mrs. Qin had felt that Qin Lu had suffered a grievance. Now that she had witnessed Qin Shuang hitting her and heard Qin Lu’s hypocritical words, Mrs. Qin’s heart turned to Qin Lu again. “Xiao Shuang, you…”
She wanted to scold Qin Shuang, but when she thought of what the girl had gone through, her heart ached and she suppressed it. She took a deep breath and tried her best to speak calmly. “Xiao Shuang, I can understand that you’re in a bad mood, but you can’t flare up at your sister…”
Her two daughters really worried her!
Qin Shuang pointed at Qin Lu and said, “Do you know what she did? In order to frame me, she painstakingly posted such a photo online!”
Mrs. Qin was stunned. “What?”
Of course, Qin Lu would not admit it. She widened her eyes in horror. “Xiao Shuang, w-what do you mean?”
Qin Shuang sneered. “I’ve never taken such a photo before, but that photo is real. If it’s not you, then who is it?”
Qin Lu panicked.
Actually, they had done a good job at the police station. Her parents had already said that Qin Shuang had indeed been photographed in an indecent manner and that the police were handling it.
Hence, this photo that got exposed could definitely only be hers! Even if Qin Shuang did not admit it and even when Qin Shuang knew what was going on, no one else would believe it! They would only think that she was looking for an excuse!
By then, she would have no choice but to commit suicide…
Yes, again.
She knew that Qin Shuang had tried to commit suicide once. If she had died that time, all these others things would not have happened! And even if she did not die this time, she would not have a good life if the photo was exposed! If Qin Shuang dared to snatch her parents away, Qin Lu would make her pay the price!
However, Qin Lu had never expected the police to actually lie for Qin Shuang! They even gave her a brocade flag, making her a hero.
But while Qin Lu could not continue lying to others, in front of her parents, she could continue to pretend.
She said, “Mom, Dad, you guys know the truth. I… I won’t say anything anymore, lest it affects Xiao Shuang’s reputation. But how can Xiao Shuang speak nonsense and pour dirty water on me?”
She cried and shouted, “Xiao Shuang, I can help you with anything else, but I really can’t with this. I’m also a girl…”
As expected, Mrs. Qin trusted her. She frowned and looked at Qin Shuang. She lowered her voice and said, “I know the police station has been negligent. You’re very unhappy that the photos got leaked. We can just ask the police to say that they’re photoshopped. You don’t have to frame Lulu like this!”
Qin Shuang smiled bitterly. “You don’t believe me? Alright, let’s wait for the police to investigate everything!”
