The next afternoon.
A piece of trending news suddenly erupted all over Weibo: A murderer from a case in Changning County 12 years ago has been released.
As a "person-of-interest," Meng Jinyang’s name was a hotly searched term.
A lot of commercial accounts, out to "eat blood-soaked dumplings" [1. A Chinese expression used to describe people who use others’ misfortune for their own benefit.], praised her for being strong and made her out to be an inspiration, and sensationalized the news.
They especially drew attention to the fact that Meng Jinyang even attained the first rank in her Year Three monthly examinations. Every single word seemed to be a piece of breaking news in the media’s eyes. News about Meng Jinyang was ubiquitous.
The phones in Ming City High School’s office almost malfunctioned under the volume of calls from the media who wanted to interview Meng Jinyang.
However, no one cared that mentioning this incident again would cause a lot of hurt to this girl. Meng Jinyang seemed to turn a deaf ear to every word out there as she focused on the paper that Gu Mang had prepared for her the day before.
However, if one looked carefully at her handwriting, they would find that very single stroke was shaky.

Gu Mang walked into the second floor of the teaching building.
Gu Yin was leaning against the railing and chatting with a girl from Class One.
"Gu Mang?" the girl voiced puzzlement after noticing her.
Gu Yin turned around and was suddenly met with Gu Mang’s dark eyes. They were emanating a chill that penetrated her bones and made her heart thump and her back muscles tense up slightly. Her first instinct was to retreat. Gu Mang’s eyelids were red and her pretty lips were pursed in a cold and cruel line.
She grabbed Gu Yin by her neck in one motion and pushed her head out over the railing viciously.
Gu Yin’s legs hung in mid-air as half her body dangled off the railing. Instantly, her eyes filled with terror. She held on to Gu Mang’s wrist with a death grip. She wanted to ask for help, but she could not make a sound.
The girl beside them turned pale with fright. "Gu Mang, what are you doing?!"
Gu Mang stared at Gu Yin and said in a light drawl, "Gu Yin, do you think I can be trifled with just because I let you go once?"
A gurgling sound came from Gu Yin’s throat as tears fell down her face in terror.
"How dare you give the media an exposé." The corner of Gu Mang’s lips twitched, ice-cold and ruthless. "Gu Yin, you’re looking for death!"
She was practically holding Gu Yin up with a single hand.
