The sun had dipped below the mountain horizon, and the ward was cloaked in the enveloping darkness of night. Outside, the sky transformed into a hazy black, and only a faint outline of the moon remained visible through veils of dark clouds.

With Director Liu leading the way, Liu Meina strutted into the ward, exuding an air of authority. "You all, follow me to the administrative office immediately," she declared in an overconfident manner.

"Until my lawyer arrives, we won't comply with any instructions from you," Ji Xiao retorted firmly.

Perched on the hospital bed with a tense posture, Ji Xiao displayed no signs of being perturbed by Director Liu's unexpected intrusion.

Qi Qi exchanged a knowing glance with Ji Xiao, and in hushed tones, they exchanged words filled with curses and complaints about Director Liu and Liu Meina.

Wei Qingyu, on the other hand, paid no attention to Director Liu's arrival, engrossed in reading through the chat log on her phone screen.

Director Liu, not garnering any response from the students, turned his gaze onto Wei Qingyu, an enigmatic smile playing on his lips. "Wei Qingyu, if I recall correctly... have you not received your scholarship for this semester yet?"

Though he presented it as a question, it was unmistakably a veiled threat.

After the downfall of the Wei family, Wei Qingyu had been practically cut off financially, only relying on the meager allowance from Ji Qingyun. Her scholarship was her primary source of income for the semester.

By exploiting this vulnerability, Director Liu hoped to exert pressure on Wei Qingyu.

In response, Wei Qingyu's eyes chilled with an icy glint. She calmly met Director Liu's gaze and seated herself beside Ji Xiao, unfazed. "Indeed. I have a principle of always facing the truth. If something is rightfully mine, then it belongs to me. But if it isn't, I won't force it."

"Facing the truth, huh?" Director Liu nodded, a cunning gleam in his eyes. "That's a good approach."

Undaunted, Wei Qingyu leaned back casually, her cool demeanor unshaken. "Thank you."

"Speaking of the truth, let's hear what the witnesses have to say about this matter," Director Liu announced.

Qi Qi interjected hastily, "Liu Meina can't be considered an unbiased eyewitness since she's involved in the incident."

Liu Meina shot Qi Qi a disdainful look, brimming with superiority. "As if I would be in the boiling water room at that time. It was the janitor who saw it. She saw Ji Xiao pulling Wei Qingyu into the school hospital."

Ji Xiao and Wei Qingyu exchanged a quick glance, surprised to learn that their exit from the boiling water room had been observed.

Clearly, Liu Meina and Director Liu had managed to convince the janitor to side with them. However, regardless of the lengths they went to, Ji Xiao and Wei Qingyu were resolved to uncover the truth.

"Alright then," Ji Xiao agreed with a nod.

"Bring her in," Director Liu instructed. The janitor, dressed in the school cleaning staff uniform, entered the room under his command.

The janitor bore an air of significance, as if she were relishing her role in the situation. "I saw it all! You kids don't try to twist the facts," she said self-assuredly.

Wei Qingyu interrupted before she could elaborate, "Which kid did you see?"

The janitor faltered, as she hadn't anticipated such a straightforward question.
