It was him! Zhao Peng! The evidence was as solid as a rock!
I was so excited that I nearly shouted out loud. I took out my phone and snapped clear photos from various angles, then carefully folded the life-saving draft and tucked it away securely.
Zhao Qian, Zhao Peng, your good days are over!
With this trump card in hand, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. The challenge now was figuring out how to use it effectively. Sending it anonymously? That wouldn’t have enough impact and could easily be intercepted.
Then I thought of Jiang Chen. Since he could obtain surveillance footage and provide professional analysis, he must have more reliable channels. But involving him would drag him into this mess completely.
He seemed to sense my dilemma. After school, we “coincidentally” ran into each other at the school gate.
“Did you gain anything from the Pengcheng Construction visit?” he asked calmly.
I nodded but didn’t speak.
“Did you get the key evidence?” His gaze was piercing.
I looked at him, “How do you know everything?”
A faint smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, “Commercial crime investigations happen to be one of my family’s law firm’s specialties. Zhao Peng has been under immense funding pressure lately, scrambling to borrow money to fill the gaps. If what you have is solid enough, now is the perfect time to strike.”
I gasped in surprise. His family runs a law firm? And it sounded quite substantial.
No longer hesitating, I compiled the photos I had taken along with previous materials and encrypted them for packaging. “I want to report this anonymously, but I need an absolutely safe and reliable way to deliver the evidence directly to the Supreme People's Procuratorate or the Disciplinary Inspection Team while ensuring my personal information remains confidential.”
Jiang Chen took my USB drive. “No problem. You’ll have results within three days. In the meantime, take care of yourself.”
I nodded seriously. At that moment, when I handed over the USB drive, a heavy weight lifted off my shoulders.
In the following days, I attended classes as usual; Zhao Qian was still around but seemed increasingly anxious, looking at everyone as if they were grim reapers.
On the afternoon of the third day, explosive news spread throughout the city: Zhao Peng, Vice President of Pengcheng Construction, was taken away by the provincial disciplinary committee for investigation due to multiple charges including massive embezzlement, misappropriation of public funds, and illegal profit transfer! It was reported that large sums of cash and unidentified assets were seized from his office and home. His uncle’s Yuanhang Trading Company was also simultaneously sealed off.
When the news broke, chaos erupted in the classroom. Upon hearing it, Zhao Qian fainted on the spot and was taken away by an ambulance. She never returned to school again.
I stood by the window, gazing at the clear blue sky. The life ruined by this family in my past life and my distorted youth finally received complete reckoning at that moment.
Sunlight streamed through the glass, warmly illuminating me. I felt an overwhelming sense of relief.
With the Zhao family’s downfall, all rumors about me vanished from campus. No one dared to provoke me anymore. I could finally focus wholeheartedly on my studies.
During midterms and finals, my grades consistently ranked first in my year by a wide margin. I also received numerous accolades in various competitions, especially in mathematics and physics where I almost swept all first prizes. I became a true “Academic Genius.”
Teachers praised me endlessly, and classmates’ gazes shifted from initial fear and curiosity to admiration and envy. No longer seen as a reclusive “avenger,” I began to integrate into the community. I joined the debate club and quickly became a key member due to my meticulous logic and sharp rhetoric, leading our team to frequent victories in interschool competitions. I also rekindled my friendship with Xu Weiwei, who became my most loyal cheerleader.
