However, Hu Jian was also waiting for Wang Li to say something like that. She wanted to clear Little Hu Jian’s name of drugging others and find out who the real culprit was.

Therefore, she immediately said calmly, “Right now is self-study class. Teacher, you just need to stand at the door of the classroom. You don’t have to say anything. As long as you are by the door, I will give you the truth. As for F Class, I will go.”

Wang Li looked at Hu Jian’s confident look as she walked out. She subconsciously felt that this matter might really not have been done by Hu Jian.

Because this was a self-study class, there was still some noise in the classroom, but it was not loud. When everyone saw Hu Jian enter, they all looked at her.

Hu Jian did not want to listen carefully, as she knew that it was definitely another discussion. Little Hu Jian was really hated by thousands of people. It seemed that it was impossible to clear her name.

The fake best friend, Yang Si, closed her textbook. She leaned over to Hu Jian and asked worriedly, “Hu Jian, are you alright after running out like that yesterday? I was worried to death. However, when I saw the teacher-in-charge so angry, I didn’t dare to chase after you.”

Yang Si acted as if nothing had happened.

In fact, Yang Si also thought that Hu Jian was angry at her yesterday because of the results. After all, a cornered animal would still bite.

However, based on her understanding of Hu Jian for so many years, she knew that Hu Jian was very easy to fool. Moreover, Hu Jian would not dare to conclude that Yang Si was behind the results because Hu Jian still needed her as a friend.

As for Hu Jian, she was just a person that Yang Si could tease at will. She was happy to see Hu Jian make a fool of herself in anything.

Hu Jian curled the corners of her lips. Since you want to perform, I will accompany you.

In the next moment, Hu Jian’s expression suddenly became timid, and there was tension in the corners of her eyes, she lowered her voice and said, “Yang Si, the glass of water you gave me… was it you that put in the drug? I… I don’t even know what happened. Now everyone is saying that I was the one who planned to give Qiao Han the drug…”

Yang Si’s expression immediately tensed up. She looked around and lowered her voice, “What are you talking about? When did I put the drug in your water? Hu Jian, are you suspecting me?”

It seemed that Yang Si was still very careful and was unwilling to admit her crimes at any time.

Hu Jian immediately shook her head desperately, as if she was afraid of losing Yang Si as a friend, there was a hint of shock in her eyes. “No, how is that possible? I never doubted you! But… I only drank a cup of water that night, the one you handed me. I guess someone else must have tampered with it.”

Yang Si squinted at Hu Jian’s expression and agreed, “It is indeed possible. Don’t forget, when everyone was estranged from you and ridiculing you, only I was still supporting you. If you really doubted me, that would be too disappointing!”

A hint of undetectable mockery flashed in Hu Jian’s eyes.

That night, it was Yang Si who urged Hu Jian to drug Qiao Han’s water, but Hu Jian refused.

Later, Yang Si handed Hu Jian a glass of water. Hu Jian drank the glass of water herself, and when she woke up, she appeared in the warehouse. Everyone said that Hu Jian was preparing to drug Qiao Han, but in the end drank it by mistake.

Such words must have been spread by Yang Si.

Hu Jian lowered her voice again. “But it doesn’t matter. Qiao Han has already found the glass. I suggested that he take it to be identified for fingerprints. You must know, he said that all the glasses that night were sterilized. Before they were in the hands of the guests, even the waiters wore gloves. So as long as the fingerprints are tested, besides yours and mine, once a third person appears, it must be the person who framed me!”

Yang Si’s expression cracked, and her eyes widened. “You suggested that Qiao Han go for an investigation? How is that possible? When did this happen?”

Hu Jian said, “It happened yesterday, after I left.”

Yesterday? Yang Si suddenly remembered that someone did say that they saw Qiao Han and Hu Jian talking on the field yesterday. She didn’t take it seriously at that time, and only thought that Qiao Han was warning Hu Jian.

Yang Si subconsciously thought that Hu Jian wouldn’t lie to her, and her heart suddenly felt a little flustered.

At this moment, Hu Jian continued to say, “That’s why I asked you just now, did you put in the drug? If it really was you, then you were doing something wrong for my sake. Later, I accidentally drank that glass of water, and it was also my own mistake. So I thought, if it really was you, I would ask Qiao Han to stop the investigation.”

“But if it’s not you, then someone must be trying to frame me. I must investigate this matter to the end!”

Hu Jian’s words made Yang Si’s ears buzz.

But she heard Hu Jian add, “Qiao Han is also very angry. He said that he has a way to catch the culprit.”

Yang Si suddenly grabbed Hu Jian’s wrist.

Hu Jian looked puzzled.

Yang Si looked in Qiao Han’s direction and happened to see Qiao Han’s gaze. It was cold, with a hint of disgust and coldness.

Yang Si immediately lowered her voice and said to Hu Jian, “Hu Jian, if I really did this, will you really forgive me?”
