Chapter 240: Chapter 240: The Dark Night is a Good Time to Catch Bad People (200+ Monthly Tickets Update)

"Yue’e, quit being evasive." Xiaoli urgently asked.

"Wang Mengmeng saw who threw the water. The Director said Wang Mengmeng had evidence. Once she is discharged from the hospital, she would report it to the police. However, her doctor said her situation doesn’t look optimistic, she’s currently in a confused state. If she received another blow to the head, she might not remember anything at all."

Zhang Yue’e said all at once.

"I think it’s just Wang Mengmeng making things up. Maybe she even spilled the water herself." Xiaoli suggested.

"Exactly." Xiaozhang agreed.

After a while, Suizi came in.

"I have something to tell you all concerning the selection of the excellent faculty member."

The office fell silent immediately.

Being elected as the excellent faculty member means receiving extra bit of income every month.

"Surely, it must be you Director. You’re in charge of the homeroom and you’ve managed the academic affairs excellently, we all agree." Xiaozhang immediately expressed his viewpoint.

"The Principal has already applied for a teaching subsidy on my behalf. I am withdrawing from the contest for the excellent faculty member. I’ll leave the opportunity to others, including Wang Mengmeng. Everyone should compete fairly."

Suizi accentuated the word ’fair’.

There was an uproar inside everyone.

Only one spot available.

Suizi is outstanding and does more work than others. It seems like she is the one most deserving.

Suizi’s gaze swept over the three young faces one by one.

"Sometimes the efforts you put in don’t immediately reap rewards, which can be frustrating. Everyone can relate to this. Adjust yourself, do not resort to unjust means to take shortcuts. Only what you’ve earned through honest hard work is truly yours."

"Before you leave today, if you want to compete for the excellent faculty position, submit an application letter. Write about the merits and demerits of your work in the recent past - as long as you admit, I won’t hold any grudges for past mistakes."

This is the last chance she is giving, it will depend on whether the person who threw the water can seize that chance.

Suizi left.

The atmosphere grew heavy as the three people in the room remained silent.

After a while, Yue’e took the initiative to break the silence.

"Are you guys going to write it?"

"Of course, it’s extra money for me each month." Xiaoli was enthusiastic about it.

"I feel that the Director is implying something with what she’s saying. Does she suspect one of us threw the water?" Xiaozhang asked.

"The Director said if they admit it upfront, they will be forgiven. If I were that person, I would be writing my admission now." Zhang Yue’e revealed what she was pondering over.

Yu Jingting, sitting in Suizi’s place, was mindlessly perusing through her teaching plan.

Suizi stood by the window, sipping tea while watching the snowfall outside.

"That kid dared to do this, showing he has absolutely no regrets."

"Sure, I know he’s not going to write anything."

"You know this yet you foolishly tried?"

"Jingting, have you ever done something you regret?"

"No." He had done a lot of bad things, but never regretted any.

But there’s one thing he’s actually proud of. Deceiving Suiz took him to cloud nine.

"I have."

Yu Jingting paused his browsing of the teaching plan, thinking she was going to say that she regretted marrying him.

"When I was younger, I made a big mistake which made me second guess myself for a very long time. Anytime that particular topic comes up, I’d always ask myself what would I have done if I had a second chance."

She’s gone too far down this path, there’s no turning back. All she could do now is continue forward, with regret because of the wrong turn she took. Therefore, she cherishes her current happiness even more.

She was talking about running away in her previous life.

"How old are you that you bring up your ’youth’? As a child, you surely must have urinated in your dad’s wine jar, right?" Yu Jingting was relieved.

As long as she doesn’t regret marrying him, she can create as many problems as she wants with anyone else.

"...Don’t make it seem like you did it !!!!"

"Also, you being a woman makes it rather difficult for you to urinate in a jar. It’s not easy to aim right, and it could even end up everywhere, even on your leg - well!"

Yu Jingting just barely caught the tea cup lid she threw at him.

"Everything in your mind is either yellow or rotten!" Suizi pointed at him, irritated.

He wasn’t a piece of good cake!

"Even if the person doesn’t understand my words now, he will eventually recall this moment and be tormented. This is the seed I’ve planted in his heart."

For a long stretch of time in the future, anytime something goes wrong, he’ll think back to this moment.

Had he come clean, the outcome could’ve been different. The more he thinks about it, the more it pains him.

She had also tasted this kind of torment, and she wanted him to taste the same.

"I will never forgive anyone that harms my child."

The little one in her womb seemed to have a telepathic connection with its mother and energetically kicked in response.

"What’s he even after?"

Yu Jingting ominously stared at the wall, his mind already outside, beating up the creep who plotted against his wife and child.

"This resulted from our internal competition, be it for the excellent faculty position or the professional title we are planning to reintroduce..."

When these things weren’t around, everyone worked hard.

With these in place, people are prompted to chase after fame and fortune.

There are too many people, like the Principal, who resort to pulling strings instead of working hard.

It’s causing some people to lose their balance.

The person who threw the water, though initially a victim, wrongfully directed his frustration at Suizi.

What Suizi left for him, seemingly a dead end, was indeed a lifeline.

If he has the courage to take full responsibility, the matter would end there.

If he insists on adding fuel to the fire, he’s digging his own grave.

"Tonight we can lie in ambush at the hospital to catch him red-handed, and maybe we’ll run into Wang Jialan. I saw her carrying a lunchbox; she’s probably there to deliver food. Maybe you two will bump into each other tonight."

His sudden display of generosity caught him off guard and his heart was brimming with sourness.

Does she care so little about him? Just a while ago, she had praised Wang Jialan.

He flipped through her teaching plan out of spite, and he smirked when he stumbled upon something.

"You don’t really care about Wang Jialan?"

"A mature woman doesn’t dwell on the past." Suizi sipped her lukewarm water.

"Then why is your teaching plan filled with Wang Jialan’s name?" Yu Jingting held up the teaching plan as evidence.

So much for not caring! She obviously cares a lot!

Suizi’s face instantly turned beet red.

She was almost tortured to death earlier from jealousy.

But after seeing Wang Jialan in person, she felt relieved knowing that Yu Jingting showed no interest in her.

Once she confirmed that her marriage was not in danger, Suizi started playing mind games.

She wanted to show Yu Jingting her unbothered demeanor as his ’wife’.

The unintentionally scribbled name on the teaching plan revealed her true feelings.

Looking at his self-satisfied smile, Suizi was infuriated.

"If we can’t catch that person tonight, you’re not sleeping on the bed!"

"Understood~!" Yu Jingting winked at her.

To secure his spot on the bed, and for his wife who was jealously guarding her spot while pretending to be generous, he had to catch the bastard tonight irrespective.

That night.

The hospital ward is eerily quiet.

Most patients have fallen asleep.

Loud snores were coming from Wang Mengmeng’s bed.

A figure slowly approached. After ensuring everyone else in the room was asleep, the figure raised an object and aimed for the bed.

Thud.

A muffled noise, as if hitting something metallic.

The person felt something was amiss, so he lifted the blanket.

Wearing a helmet, Yu Jingting waved at the figure.

"Hey there, Xiaozhang, good evening~"
