Chapter 405: Chapter 233: Lu Fan: Whoever Bullies Jiang Silu Is as Good as Dead

Song Miaomiao handed over her phone and whispered, "Silu, take a look at this."

Jiang Silu took the phone and glanced at it.

Her face drained of color, and her fingers clenched around the phone.

The words were like daggers, stabbing into her heart.

She remembered Zhao Tianyu, the way he’d grinned and said, "Add me on WhatsApp, why don’t you?" She remembered the message he sent: "I’m serious."

’She understood everything now.’

"I’m going to find him." She stood up, her voice frighteningly calm.

Lu Yao quickly grabbed her arm. "Silu, don’t be rash! With people like him, the more attention you give him, the worse he’ll get."

Song Miaomiao also chimed in, "Let’s not be hasty. We can figure something out."

Liu Shiting walked over from behind them and said calmly, "Let’s go to our counselor first. The school has to get involved in something like this."

When Teacher Chen, the counselor, saw the post, his face flushed with anger. He immediately contacted the head of the Landscape Architecture Department and the counselor for the Electronics Department.

When the head of the Landscape Architecture Department learned of the incident, he slammed his hand on the table and roared, "This is outrageous! How dare he bully one of Elder Meng’s students!"

He immediately called the head of the Electronics Department, his tone harsh. "That Zhao Tianyu from your department is on the forum spreading slanderous rumors about one of my students. You had better give me an explanation for this!"

The head of the Electronics Department, whose surname was Li, was in his early fifties. He spoke in a slow, deliberate manner. "Director Wang, calm down. Let me look into the situation. It’s normal for young people to have some conflicts. Let’s not blow this out of proportion."

"Normal? You call this normal? Have you seen the comments under that post? Is that normal?" the head of the Landscape Architecture Department fumed.

Director Li laughed it off, trying to placate him. "Alright, alright. I’ll call him in right now and ask about it."

After hanging up, Director Li summoned Zhao Tianyu to his office.

Zhao Tianyu walked in with a smile, his tone light. "Director Li, you were looking for me?"

Director Li looked at him and sighed. "Tianyu, did you post that thread on the forum?"

Zhao Tianyu put on an innocent look. "What thread? I don’t know anything about it."

Director Li stared at him, his tone turning serious. "Don’t play dumb with me. Someone already traced the IP address of the post. It came from your dorm room."

The smile on Zhao Tianyu’s face froze for a moment, but he quickly composed himself. "Fine, I posted it. But I was just joking around. I didn’t mean anything by it."

"Tianyu, your family has donated equipment to the college, and the school has always looked out for you. But if this blows up, it won’t be good for anyone. Go apologize to that girl, I’ll delete the post, and we’ll let this go," Director Li said gravely, shaking his head.

Zhao Tianyu was not happy to hear that. "Me, apologize to her? She rejected me to my face and embarrassed me. I’m the one who should be complaining."

"Don’t you get it? What you did is slander. She could sue you. Do you think you can fix everything just because your family has a little money?" Director Li’s expression darkened.

Zhao Tianyu fell silent.

’Of course he knew spreading rumors was illegal, but he hadn’t expected the girl to take it so seriously.’

Word of the incident reached the vice principal.

At first, he didn’t know the victim was Jiang Silu.

He called both Director Wang and Director Li to his office and told them to handle the matter quickly and keep it from spreading online.

Director Li took the opportunity to add, "Principal Liu, Zhao Tianyu’s family donated three million yuan worth of precision instruments to the school two years ago. The Electronics Department’s labs are completely dependent on that equipment. If we punish him too harshly, I’m afraid..."

Principal Liu frowned and looked at Director Wang. "Director Wang, what are your thoughts?"

Director Wang replied with a stern face, "My thoughts? He bullied a student from my department and slandered her. I can’t just let it go. So what if his family donated equipment? Does that mean he can be lawless?"

Principal Liu waved his hand dismissively and sighed. "Alright, alright, stop arguing. First, have the student apologize in person, delete the post, and placate the girl. As for any disciplinary action, we’ll discuss that later."

While the administrators were discussing how to handle the situation, Jiang Silu’s roommates had already taken action.

Lu Yao found out Zhao Tianyu’s class schedule through the staff of the campus "Confession Wall." His third-period class that morning was a specialized course for the Electronics Department, so they went straight there.

A class was in session. The professor at the lectern was stunned to see several young women barge in.

Lu Yao walked up to Zhao Tianyu, slammed her phone on his desk, and said angrily, "Zhao Tianyu, are you even a man? Spreading slanderous rumors about a girl. Have you no shame?"

All eyes in the class turned toward them.

Zhao Tianyu’s face flushed red. He stood up, his voice rising. "Who the hell are you? What did I do?"

Lu Yao pointed at her phone screen. "The post you made—you think just because it’s deleted, no one would know? We’ve got the IP address. Are you still going to play dumb?"

Zhao Tianyu glanced at the students around him, his expression ugly.

’He hadn’t expected these girls to have the guts to storm into his classroom, and he certainly hadn’t expected them to have evidence.’

He let out a cold laugh, managing to sound composed. "What, that Jiang Silu didn’t have the guts to come herself, so she sent you? Isn’t she supposed to be so pure? What’s with the act?"

Jiang Silu stepped out from behind Lu Yao and stood before Zhao Tianyu. Her eyes were red, but she was doing her best to control her emotions. "What right do you have to spread these rumors? Do I even know you that well? I never even added you on WhatsApp, so how would you know I’m two-timing someone? How would you know I treat guys like ATMs?"

Zhao Tianyu looked at her and laughed. "You didn’t add me on WhatsApp? Then how do you know I made the post? Feeling guilty?"

Jiang Silu took a deep breath, her voice trembling. "I did add you. You said you wanted to be friends, I said I wasn’t looking for a relationship, so I deleted you. That’s all that happened. What right do you have to spread lies about me online?"
