At Jintian Club…

Tao Zi thought that the matter should be enough, and later on, it would be definitely impossible for Xiang Wan and Qin Jin to be together.

After all…

How was it possible that Qin Jin would love a defiled woman?

Had it not been for the last intermediary contest, when she saw Qin Jin and Xiang Wan together, she would not have used what she knew to do such a thing.

She couldn’t let Qin Jin and Xiang Wan have any chance to be together.

Tao Zi looked at the man reading a book over there. She got up and walked over to him. “Qin Jin, there’s a new movie out today. How about we go and watch it?”

Qin Jin’s long fingers turned the pages.

“Everyone will go together. It’s been a lot of training lately, and we’ll just do it for relaxation.” Fearing that Qin Jin might refuse, Tao Zi added this before he opened his mouth.

Sure enough, Qin Jin paused for a moment and said, “Okay.”

Tao Zi was very happy. Although they wouldn’t go alone, he at least agreed to go.

Someone called her from outside the training room, “Tao Zi, come out here.”

Tao Zi responded in a very good mood, “Coming.”

Tao Zi entered the meeting room. She saw the serious faces on the police, and her good mood immediately turned into ashes.

Tao Zi’s heart jumped wildly and she looked at Ding Lei. “Brother Ding, you wanted to see me…”

Ding Lei told her to come in and shut the door.

…

The news that Tao Zi was taken away quickly spread throughout the club, and finally, the whole circle knew it.

After all, Tao Zi was now a member of Team HS, and Team HS was a team that was the focus of concern.

Tao Zi was suddenly taken away by the police, so of course, it became a hot topic.

When Ming Shu heard about the news, she put two grapes into her mouth like she didn’t know anything. Tao Zi had the nerve to do such things, so naturally, she could find them out.

How could this matter happen ahead of time if not for having been manipulated by someone in secret?

Tao Zi really wanted to shove Xiang Wan into the mud.

Ding Lei got Tao Zi out of the police station using some unknown method, and there was no more news on the Internet.

“Thank you, Brother Ding…” Tao Zi stayed in the detention house for a few days and didn’t look very well.

“Tao Zi, you really didn’t do it?”

“Brother Ding, I don’t even know who that Xiang Wan is, why would I do that? I don’t know who set me up at a time like this…” Tao Zi said as her eyes reddened.

“A time like this” referred to the current competition, naturally.

Ding Lei’s eyes turned gloomy as expected. “Okay, this matter has been settled. I’ll send you back first. Have a good rest, and don’t delay the game.”

Ding Lei sent Tao Zi back to her residence.

As soon as Ding Lei left, Tao Zi put away the grievance on her face, leaving only unreconciled hatred in her eyes.

She had done it very secretively, but why would anyone know?

Who was helping Xiang Wan?

“Little cutie.”

The voice was so familiar.

It was so familiar that Tao Zi consciously believed it was calling her.

She followed the sound and saw a girl leaning back in the corridor leisurely. The girl also curled her lips into a smile slowly as she saw her looking over.

“Ji He! What are you doing here!?” How did she know that I live here?

“Relax, I just came to tell you that I was the one who reported you,” Ming Shu said.

I came specially to tell her because I fear my snacks coupon’s wayward thinking.

Tao Zi was thinking about it and now had a sudden realization.

“You set me up!”

“That doesn’t sound right. It was originally you who did it, so how could it be a setup?”

“I didn’t,” Tao Zi denied it. No matter what, you couldn’t give others a cause for talk. “Why did you set me up!”

Forget it.

I’ll just take the blame. 

Ming Shu then said in a cheerful tone, “Why? No reason. I’m just happy to do that.”

“…”

Ming Shu got up and went downstairs. After walking for a few steps, she seemed to have thought of something and turned back. “I almost forgot. I’ll just beat you up.”

“???”

[Guest, you can make her feel worse.] The Harmony System that hadn’t offered bad ideas for a long time suddenly jumped out.

“Like?”

[Strip her clothes and throw her out naked.]

“…”

I shouldn’t have expected anything from the Harmony System. 

It doesn’t have any bad ideas other than that. 

I thought it was going to get better after all this time’s silence. But I was thinking too highly of it. 

Trash the Harmony System.

[Guest, don’t think I don’t know you’re calling me names.]

“Trash.” So what?

[…]

The Guest may need some porn to calm down.

…

Ding Lei learned from Tao Zi that it was all set up by the NS Club, so he became enraged immediately.

Ding Lei contacted his men and investigated all the detailed information about Ming Shu’s team and team members. He intended to take revenge, an eye for an eye.

But in addition to Ming Shu and Jiang Liu, the rest of the team were from other cities.

Ming Shu got Si Chen to pick her up to go to work, so Ding Lei had no chance to target her. So he was only left with Jiang Liu.

“Wang Heyang actually played such a mean trick, so he can’t blame me then.” Ding Lei gave a look toward Tao Zi. “Don’t think too much and don’t read the negative news. Leave them all to me.”

Tao Zi nodded her head. “Okay, Brother Ding, I’ll go back now.”

“Okay.”

Tao Zi came out of the office and met Qin Jin, who was heading over.

“Qin Jin…”

Qin Jin’s eyes didn’t even fall on her, ignoring her. He went into Ding Lei’s office.

Tao Zi bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes filled with complicated emotions.

Since she came back from the police station, Qin Jin had treated her more coldly. He used to respond to her when she greeted him, but now, he would just ignore her.

She thought he was in a bad mood at first, but then she found out that he would respond to others when they greeted him.

His indifference was only directed at her.

Tao Zi sat absentmindedly in her seat. She hadn’t yet decided what to do next, when she suddenly received the notice to go home and rest.

Tao Zi’s entire person was stunned. When she reacted, she went to Ding Lei immediately.

“Brother Ding, why do I have to rest? I’m in a good…”

Ding Lei signaled her not to get excited. “I’ve considered your recent situation, and it’s indeed not satisfactory. I know you’re not happy with such things, so take a break for some time.”

Tao Zi wasn’t pacified at all, but became even more anxious. “But the finals are coming up, Brother Ding. I can do it.”

Ding Lei: “We have our substitutes, so you don’t need to worry.”

Ding Lei’s indifferent tone made Tao Zi feel that something was wrong.

What does he mean by I “don’t need to worry?”

I’ve worked hard to finally get myself a place at Team HS and get closer to Qin Jin, but now you want me to give up. How’s that possible!

“Brother Ding, just tell me the truth, why do you want me to rest?”

Ding Lei sighed, “I’ve fought for you, Tao Zi; it’s the decision from the seniors. Go back and wait for the notice.”

Decision from the seniors. Tao Zi had no other way to argue that.

The investor behind HS was none other than the Qin family.

Qin Jin talked to Ding Lei, then she was asked to go home and rest. Even if Tao Zi didn’t want to believe the connection between those two events, she had to believe it.

This matter had something to do with Qin Jin.

Tao Zi rushed into the training room to talk to Qin Jin. “Qin Jin, why?”

Qin Jin looked indifferent and said carelessly, “A member with evil intentions is not allowed in my team. Ding Lei asked you to go home to rest, and he already showed kindness to you by saying that. Don’t embarrasse everyone.”

Evil intentions?

Tao Zi’s face paled.
