Chapter 411: He Hates Seeing His Little One Being Wronged The Most
In the afternoon and halfway through Mu Qiqi’s class, the forensics lab sent someone to her, asking her to help after class was over since they were really shorthanded, and the professor has much use of her.
Nonetheless, the recent post left Mu Qiqi being jeered from all directions.
“The professor at the forensics lab should be informed about Mu Qiqi. How could someone of her character be allowed to be the professor’s assistant?”
Mu Qiqi’s tutor did not hold back either, and shot her a direct warning, “You are a still student, and you should therefore prioritize your studies and not run off every other day. How am I supposed to explain that to your classmates if you keep doing that?”
“Madam, the professor asked for me during my time off. Or are you bossing me around when I’m not in class too?” Mu Qiqi promptly retorted.
“Look at that arrogance of yours. You are a first-year university student—don’t you know any respect?”
“The condition for respect is for the other person to respect me as well. Mu Qiqi replied neutrally. “I’m leaving first if there’s nothing else.”
“Hold it right there.” Feng Shanshan’s clique of four approached Mu Qiqi right then. “You’ve really shown me something else. Look at you, born with two fathers from the very start—we really couldn’t afford to cross you, can we?”
“Our tutor is rebuking you for your own good, and you would still trample all over her. Who gave you that courage?”
Mu Qiqi did not look as calm as before when those girls came to her.
Still, she soon smiled. “Your house is down south of the city while the net café is up north. A three-hour journey by car… you really spare no expense.”
One of the girl’s face changed immediately.
“Why are you so scared? What did she say to you?”
“Did she threaten you?”
The girl shook her head, and thought about it carefully before deciding that Mu Qiqi was just tricking her. She would never be able to dig out any evidence—why wouldn’t she post the proof immediately if she really knows about the net café up north?
Mu Qiqi was clearly just trying to intimidate her.
Therefore, regaining her peace of mind, she continued thinking about the next move to frame Mu Qiqi. After all, it was her clique’s duty to make everyone hate Mu Qiqi and chase her out of Sheng Ting.

After class, Mu Qiqi headed to the forensics lab to help the professor examine a newly found dismembered corpse.
When the professor saw her, he asked, “School bullying?”
Mu Qiqi did a double take before grinning. “You’re concerned too, professor?”
“You’re always mild-mannered and never enjoyed interaction, which makes you appear a little reclusive. But add that to the halo effect your personal affairs bring you, it’s normal that the others would try to reject you socially.” The professor replied while trying to piece the corpse together.
“So you believe I’m the type to post that stuff on the forums, professor?”
“You have classes in the morning, come to my lab in the evening and there’s that boyfriend of yours waiting when you get home. I can’t imagine how you would have any time to do such a thing.” The professor answered. “Just deal with it accordingly. Don’t pay it too much mind.”
“By the way, how did you know about it, professor?”
“Your tutor called me, and asked if I want a student with better grades.”
Mu Qiqi felt helpless just then—to think that the tutor could be so vengeful.
“But you know what I told her? A teacher should teach by being an exemplary character, and yet she holds no such bearing at all. She couldn’t even tell right from wrong even at her age, so I wished that she could step down from her post soon.”
“Thank you, professor.”
“Thank me for what? Get to work right this moment. There’s a serial killer on the loose and our superiors have demanded that we break the case in half a month. The police are bringing in a truckload of corpses now, and we need to confirm the number of victims and their identity soon.”
“Okay…”
Starting from the afternoon, Mu Qiqi and her professor worked over six hours to finally piece together the corpses.
“Two men, two women and one child… in other words, a family of five slaughtered. What’s lacking at the moment are their heads, the men’s right hand and their… various organs. It’s like they were gutted like fishes: all of their insides are hollow, and each were disemboweled uniquely—not from the front, but from the side.”
The professor nodded then and told Mu Qiqi, “Thanks for your hard work today. Go home, and I’ll handle the rest.”
Mu Qiqi nodded and packed up, changed out of her scrubs and left the forensics lab.
Outside, Sheng Xiao was already waiting to receive his little one to get off work.
“Why, out of the blue?”
“I called you. You didn’t answer…”
“Got a big case. Spent the afternoon piecing chunks of corpses together so I didn’t notice.” Mu Qiqi answered.
“How did the campus react today?”
Mu Qiqi didn’t dare to evade that conversation when she remembered her assurances to Sheng Xiao yesterday, and so told her everything that had happened in the university today, including how her tutor had tried to make things hard for her.
Sheng Xiao listened to it all but said nothing.
Inwardly, however, his heart was turned upside down.
He hated seeing his little one being wronged the most…
Tomorrow, when Qi’er made public the evidence she had, she would first disembowel the girl who framed Qi’er as a show of force, and he has other ways to have that tutor disappear too.
Did they really think he couldn’t protect his woman just because he wasn’t the Crown Prince?

Early next morning.
It was the third day, which Mu Qiqi had promised she would release her evidence.
Many students were waiting on the forums to see if she would really produce that so-called evidence.
After all, the culprits never came forward to admit to the tutor-insulting post.
The varsity groups were blowing up too. “Is Mu Qiqi going to come through?”
“Isn’t she having a class? Would she really release the evidence?”
“I think it really was her.”
“I agree. Where would she get any evidence? Isn’t she just trying to divert everyone else’s attention?”
Feng Shanshan’s clique had been online constantly, refreshing the school forums because they were curious whether the bitch Mu Qiqi could produce any evidence.
However, there was no reaction from Mu Qiqi even at noon.
Everyone was sighing in disappointment.
“I should have seen that it was Mu Qiqi playing around all along.”
“Should never have trusted a person like her who would dare to diss a tutor!”
“Mu Qiqi, just come out and apologize. How embarrassing.”
Nonetheless, it was on lunch break when Mu Qiqi’s post was updated, and the students found the evidence on the forums halfway through their food.
“Everyone, look! Mu Qiqi really updated her post!”
Every student whipped out their phones all at once to read it.
