Jiang Lingdan was willing but powerless, and she also felt that she really didn't have the right to meddle in other people's business.
The matter was dropped.
But a few weeks later...
The situation in the post escalated, and someone successfully identified the person in the forum who "does some part-time jobs that are hard to define because of poverty," "is unfriendly to people, has a smile on the surface but the smile disappears when she turns her head," and "serves to be isolated" as Zuo Baixuan.
This was the first time Zuo Baixuan spoke frankly to her four roommates, demanding that they delete the post and apologize.
However, the four of them just laughed.
"Zuo Baixuan, don't slander innocent people. We have never posted such a thing. It's possible that someone just happens to look a lot like you, and someone who knows you noticed it and suspected it was you. You should reflect on yourself."
Jiang Lingdan was furious, but Zuo Baixuan simply said calmly, "I understand."
Jiang Lingdan couldn't understand why Zuo Baixuan, who didn't seem like such a weak person, had ended her resistance so quickly!
“But I really don’t have any evidence. They never post in their dorm rooms. They must post it in places like internet cafes. Even if I get their IP addresses from the administrator, I can’t do anything about it.” Zuo Baixuan’s expression was calm.
Jiang Lingdan was so angry she almost vomited blood. She nearly grabbed Zuo Baixuan's shoulders to try and snap her out of it: "If you don't do anything, they'll only go even further!"
Sure enough, a few days later, another post appeared, using the same tone, accusing the roommate of picking the lock and stealing things.
Zuo Baixuan's name appeared in the post again.
The original poster was mostly made up of students, who inevitably encounter some eccentric roommates in their dorms, making it easy for them to empathize with the post. The post quickly gained attention.
Zuo Baixuan has become a prime example of someone who is good at academics but bad at character.
Jiang Lingdan was really angry this time, and almost got into a fight with her four roommates for Zuo Baixuan.
However, at this moment, a new post appeared.
Zuo Baixuan posted a video under her real name, along with the words: "Perhaps what you mean by stealing is like this."
The video starts off very dark, showing a camera placed inside a cabinet.
Suddenly the cabinet was opened, and a face was blurred, but it was clearly not Zuo Baixuan.
The woman's actions were clearly visible in the video. She rummaged through the closet, until she tilted the camera, and then threw the clothes on the floor.
He wore a smug smile throughout, a truly ugly face.
The comments section was in an uproar.
All the previous posts about the relationship were fabricated. The perpetrator maliciously spread rumors under the guise of being a victim.
The wind direction will soon reverse.
Jiang Lingdan, as the sixth person in the dormitory, also spoke out by name about the way the four of them bullied Zuo Baixuan.
When Jiang Lingdan returned to her dormitory in high spirits, Zuo Baixuan took the initiative to say to her, "Thank you."
Jiang Lingdan was delighted to be spoken to by Zuo Baixuan for the first time: "No need to thank me, I'm just telling the truth! Don't worry, I'll find a way to become an administrator and clean up these messy posts."
The other four roommates were soon called in by the counselor, and when they returned, they cried right in front of Zuo Baixuan.
"Zuo Baixuan, you are so vicious! Why did you impersonate someone and start a thread? We never posted anything about you stealing anything!"
Jiang Lingdan was confused.
Why is it that everyone else acknowledges it, but the last post doesn't?
Now that the insults have already been hurled, is it still necessary for them to worry about the gains and losses of a single post?
Zuo Baixuan did not answer.
The four of them immediately started chattering.
"Don't deny it!"
"The teacher said the IP address belongs to our dorm!"
"It wasn't us who posted it, it must have been you!"
Zuo Baixuan looked up and asked with a smile, "Do you have any evidence?"
Upon hearing this answer, Jiang Lingdan immediately got goosebumps all over her body.
This was a trap set by Zuo Baixuan!
On that very day, the day that frightened her four roommates and gradually silenced others who were targeting Zuo Baixuan, Jiang Lingdan truly felt the charm in this woman's smile. It was on that day that she made up her mind to become this person's good friend!
So she wasn't surprised to see Zuo Baixuan directly confront Lin Xiaoxiao on the forum; it was a familiar scenario.
And now...
Zuo Baixuan's attitude towards Luan Lizheng was the same as that day.
Jiang Lingdan wasn't surprised that Zuo Baixuan had such methods, but what surprised her was why Zuo Baixuan treated Luan Yenan this way.
Although Luan Yenan initially seized the opportunity through trickery and force, afterwards he clearly saw the genuine smile on Zuo Baixuan's face, a smile that could only be seen when the mask was removed.
It took me three years to finally see that smile.
Luan Yenan saw it in three weeks.
As a friend, she naturally hoped that Zuo Baixuan could have her own happiness, rather than living with a mask on.
Why is this happening?
Jiang Lingdan couldn't tell whether the initial act of cunning and force was Luan Yenan's plan or Zuo Baixuan's conspiracy.
"So, Grandpa, can I see Anan now? I'm worried about her condition," Zuo Baixuan asked again.
Luan Lizheng sneered: "No, the doctor said that Ye Nan needs to rest now. Even if he needs to be visited, he has to wait a week."
"Grandpa, can I assume that you are planning to put Anan under house arrest?" Zuo Baixuan asked bluntly.
"Hmm?" Luan Li squinted, staring intently at Zuo Baixuan.
Everyone present, except Zhang Wanjun, frowned.
Luan Lizheng's pheromones pressed down on him with an undisguised threatening force.
This is the pheromone of a top-tier Alpha; it doesn't need to be physically manifested to threaten Alphas and Omegas.
If Luan Yenan were here, he could still fight against them.
Luo Yun quickly said, "Mr. Luan, isn't this a bit unethical?"
Luan Lizheng said with a smile, "What martial virtue? My old man is getting old. It's just that his pheromones were affected by Ye Nan, and he has some problems. If you feel uncomfortable, just leave."
They certainly didn't act like elders, openly using pheromones as a threat.
The two bodyguards who had blocked the way earlier also moved half a step as Luan Lizheng spoke.
Zuo Baixuan walked past the two bodyguards and looked towards the door of the ward further away.
Two bodyguards remained unmoved.
At least it can be confirmed that Luan Yenan's two bodyguards are also doing their duties diligently.
"hiss……"
Kan Yanghui suddenly clutched the back of his neck, looking uncomfortable.
Luo Yun looked at him, wondering how even Luan Ye Nan's subordinates could act so well.
She also wondered if she should follow his example, cover the back of her neck, and accuse Luan Lizheng of his behavior.
Unexpectedly, Luan Lizheng suddenly took two steps back, glanced inside the house, gave a word of advice to the two bodyguards outside, and then moved away: "In short, no one is allowed to go in. Ye Nan needs to rest."
"Understood!" the two bodyguards shouted.
Outside the door, Luan Yenan's bodyguards remained unmoved and made no comment.
They will not act unless ordered to do so, as long as no one harms her life.
"Alright, Mr. Luan is gone, you don't need to pretend anymore." Luo Yun patted Kan Yanghui on the shoulder.
Kan Yanghui's face turned pale, and he looked puzzled: "Didn't any of you feel the pressure from the pheromones? It's not Old Luan's, it's more like the boss's... Is the boss trying to send me a message?"
Zuo Baixuan watched Luan Lizheng's hurried departure and then glanced at Kan Yanghui's expression.
I couldn't help but laugh.
Jiang Lingdan looked at her: "What are you laughing at now? We can't even see him, so we can't be sure how Luan Yenan is doing. Mr. Luan has shares in this hospital, so maybe the nurses have all been bribed."
Zuo Baixuan shook her head: "The two bodyguards over there are Luan Yenan's men. With them there, she'll be fine. As for her current state... Luan Lizheng's departure explains everything. His pheromones are purposefully eliminating dissidents."
"Am I...am I also an outsider?" Kan Yanghui had been forced back to the end of the corridor.
Zuo Baixuan's smile widened.
Without Kan Yanghui's presence, it would be impossible to determine the reason for Luan Lizheng's departure.
"Go home, I'll give you half a day off."
Kan Yanghui covered his face, realizing he couldn't stay any longer; if he didn't leave soon, he might end up in the hospital. He could only nod and quickly leave.
"Aren't we going back?" Jiang Lingdan asked.
"Let's go back to school first," Zuo Baixuan said.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Luo Yun asked helpfully.
Zuo Baixuan thanked her and said, "No, if you need to sell your shares, you can sell them to me."
"Okay, I'll be going now." Seeing that Zuo Baixuan obviously had other things to do, Luo Yun didn't say anything more and left first.
Zuo Baixuan took one last look at the ward door, then pulled Jiang Lingdan away, saying as they walked out, "Lingdan, would it be convenient for you to call Senior Chen back to Beijing?"
"Yes, actually, she should have arrived in Beijing by now. I just woke up and suddenly ran away, and she chased after me when she found out I was back." Jiang Lingdan accidentally revealed the truth.
Fortunately, Zuo Baixuan was preoccupied with her own thoughts and didn't notice anything strange about what he said.
Jiang Lingdan blushed secretly, then quickly recovered, and finally asked calmly, "So, Xiao Zuo'er, are you really going to divorce Luan Ye Nan?"
Jiang Lingdan's words touched Zuo Baixuan's heart.
She simply smiled and did not answer.
The moment Zuo Baixuan heard the news today, she knew exactly what she was thinking.
She didn't want a divorce; she couldn't even bear not seeing Luan Yenan now.
However, whether she initially wanted a divorce or now doesn't want one, it's all her own idea.
