Those who were led by the vice principal blamed An Lengyan for not showing them mercy.
After punishing these people, the principal said, "Although a lot of bad things have happened in the school recently, there is still one student who is worthy of praise, and that is Lu Li."
"Yesterday, Professor An Lengyan encountered danger on the way home. It was he who stood up to help Professor An and even escorted her home. This is what we should learn from."
Everyone's eyes followed the principal's hand and saw a youth standing in a corner. He had his head down and no one could see his expression. Even when he heard the principal's praise, he didn't raise his head. In fact, his gloomy aura deepened. No one could have imagined that such a young man was actually a compassionate young man who was willing to help others.
An Lengyan's eyes narrowed slightly. She had told the principal this today. She had already realized that her feelings were somewhat out of control. She had not expected to develop feelings for this young man. Since she had already discovered it, it was better to stop the damage in time.
She knew that the young man would be angry after the principal finished his sentence.
Sure enough, the principal continued, "Lu Li, please come up on stage. President Luo has specially sent you a gift to thank you for saving his daughter."
Lu Li slowly walked onto the stage. The young man walked very slowly, but his composed demeanor impressed everyone. Even the principal nodded in satisfaction. He hadn't noticed that there was such a good student in the school before. Just based on his bearing, in the future, this child wouldn't be ordinary.
The principal handed him an envelope. Lu Li took it and held it in his hand. The thick touch made him instantly realize what it was. He looked down at An Lengyan angrily. She actually gave him money?
What was the meaning of this?
Was she trying to draw a clear line with him?
An Lengyan didn't dodge. She smiled at him, as if she didn't notice anything wrong, or perhaps she didn't want to have anything to do with him.
This realization made Lu Li smirk. He didn't wait for the principal to finish his sentence and walked off the stage. When he passed An Lengyan, he stopped in his tracks. The envelope in his hand creaked as he suddenly approached her ear. He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Professor An, thank you so much for the reward."
After he left, An Lengyan realized that her palms were covered in cold sweat. The young man's behavior just now made her heart palpitate. She felt like something was out of control.
She did not dare to return to the dormitory to rest. Instead, she returned to the Luo family.
After a few days of peace, An Lengyan also felt relieved. She felt that she would not be able to complete the task God gave her. That young man... was somewhat different. She did not dare to get close to him anymore. She was afraid that things would get out of control.
She had not completed what she wanted to do, so she could not make any mistakes.
The computer chimed again. There was a new email. She opened it and saw that it was from her teacher.
"How is it going?"
An Lengyan hesitated for a moment and replied, "I'm sorry, teacher. I might have to give up on this mission."
Soon, a new email arrived.
"Is it too difficult? It doesn't matter. I've sent people to look for him, but they've all failed. Let's just forget about it."
An Lengyan looked at the computer screen and slowly closed the email page. Her expression was cold, but no one knew what she was thinking.
She felt an itch at her feet and a mechanical mosquito was gently rubbing her toes. An Lengyan then realized that she had forgotten about it. Since she had decided to put this plan on hold for the time being, she looked at the mosquito and coldly reached out her hand.
On the other end, Lu Li's computer screen suddenly shook, and then the figure on it disappeared. A black screen reflected Lu Li's face. He looked at his distorted face and suddenly smiled in an unhinged manner. She had brought this upon herself.
An Lengyan came to school on time and began to secretly investigate who the An family's backer was . However, after so long, she had already used the teacher's connections in the capital, but she still couldn't find out.
In this situation, either the An family's backer wasn't in the capital at all, or the other party's strength was beyond their expectations. An Lengyan was more inclined to the latter. The fear in her heart deepened, and she was more careful.
The An family suddenly wanted to hold a banquet. An Lengyan raised her eyebrows slightly when she received An Zhiyao's call. Ever since An Tianzhu's scandal spread, the An family had been silent. This was the first time they had taken the initiative to contact her.
