Chapter 421 - Chapter 421 Chapter 421 My surname is Leng_1

Chapter 421: Chapter 421: My surname is Leng_1 Chapter 421: Chapter 421: My surname is Leng_1 “Who were those three people just now?”

“Gosh! They were all very tall, at least 1.85 meters.”

A girl spoke shyly.

“Not only are they tall, but they are all incredibly handsome.”

“Yes! That man in the black clothes was too good-looking. Is he a star from Hong Kong or Taiwan? My God! He’s even more handsome than my favorite, Fei Xiang.”

“All you think about are men, it’s shameful.”

“Exactly!” Wu Shanshan bristled, “Did you guys not notice the man in the police uniform? There was a murder in a village nearby not too long ago. I think they might have come because of that.”

Discussion abruptly halted, leaving an eerie silence.

“Are you…You’re joking, right? I think Jiang Nanfei is really nice and her character has improved significantly,” a timid girl mumbled.

Wu Shanshan declared confidently, “I’m not talking nonsense. The incident happened in Jiang Nanfei’s Xiao Wang Village.”

“Really…Really?”

“No way?”

“Are you implying she has something to do with the murder?”

Wu Shanshan stomped her foot in annoyance, “Why would I lie? The entire town is buzzing about this. The victim was a young nurse who had just graduated from nursing school and was found drowned in a river.”

The crowd of young girls paled in fright.

The PE teacher hollered, “Stop your nonsense! There’s no such thing! You-”

Pointing at Wu Shanshan, “Come with me to the dean’s office. How dare you spread such baseless rumors?”

Wu Shanshan didn’t expect to be overheard by the PE teacher when she finally found the opportunity to spill her secret. But she was confident in her sources and was not afraid to face the dean.

“Fine, let’s go! I’m telling the truth anyway.”

The PE teacher was fuming, “You’re still arguing? You want to be expelled?” No school would tolerate the spreading of such negative news.

Not to mention it was a murder case.

Only then did Wu Shanshan become scared and stop talking.

*****

Only after Wu Shanshan was taken away did Leng Ran release his grip on He Shasha’s hand.

“Why did you stop me? Why didn’t you let me speak?” He Shasha was furious and wanted to bite Leng Ran, “Why are you so annoying? So cold-hearted? They’re slandering my good friend, and you didn’t even let me defend her.”

Leng Ran’s face turned ugly at He Shasha’s accusation.

He clenched his teeth and said disdainfully, “Hmph! My last name is Leng, which means ‘cold’. I was born cold-hearted.”

“You…”

“But before He Shasha could reply, Leng Ran interrupted, “I can’t believe that someone as dumb as you shares half of the Leng Family’s bloodline. How have you not killed yourself with your stupidity? Why do you need to stick your nose in other people’s affairs?”

“Whether it’s necessary or not, as a friend, it’s my duty to help. It’s a matter of the heart, it has nothing to do with necessity.”

“How hilarious,” Leng Ran sneered. “Instead of focusing on how to deal with Jing Tong and He Jinlan, you’re arguing with a bunch of youngsters. How capable.”

This was too foolish! Irredeemably foolish.

The passion on He Shasha’s face quickly faded as if someone had dumped a bucket of cold water on her. After a long silence, she murmured, “Well… Well, I am trying to figure out what to do!”

“You’re still coming up with a plan, yet He Jinlan is already putting hers into action. Do you know the real reason she didn’t come to school today?”

“No!”
