Ning Wei stepped forward to help, and the two quickly finished dealing with all the bodies. Their hands were still bloody, so they washed them directly in the lake.
The two sat casually by the lake, just like in the dream, chatting about the past decade.
Ning Wei also took the opportunity to learn about what had happened to Lü Meng over the past ten years, especially why her appearance had changed.
Lü Meng endured three years of suppression here, and then the rich man sent her abroad to study as promised. She lived well abroad and even underwent cosmetic surgery to bid farewell to her past.
As her life got better and better, she buried everything from her past deep in her heart.
Just as she was planning to say a proper goodbye to her past, her mother called.
It turned out that under their management, the school had truly produced countless outstanding students as planned, becoming a key school that countless parents were eager to send their children to.
Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that this was not the beginning of hope, but the path to hell.
Because the school was thriving, and coupled with the rich man's money, any negative news was suppressed.
Her mother called because she saw value in Lü Meng's status as an overseas returnee, and Lü Meng had performed exceptionally well abroad, winning multiple awards.
If someone like her could work at the school, it would undoubtedly add to the school's glory.
Lü Meng, who had already planned to forget the past, was thrown back into hell by this phone call.
She repeatedly asked her mother if she was sure she wanted her to return.
Her mother's reply was without hesitation; she wanted Lü Meng to go back! And she wanted her to be a teacher at the school!
Not only that, but Lü Meng had another identity: she was the eyes of the board of directors. If there were any problems among the students, she had to report them immediately so that they could prepare in advance.
Lü Meng's mother cried out hoarsely on the phone, completely lacking the demeanor of a principal.
"Mengmeng, Mom has no choice! I'm already on this boat, and I can't get off! If things are exposed, I'll be locked up!"
"You've already lost a father, do you want to lose me, your mother, your only relative?"
Lü Meng listened calmly on the phone until her mother finished venting. After her mother spoke, she said, "I promise, but I want to say one thing: I thought I had already lost my last relative."
Before her mother could reply, Lü Meng quickly hung up the phone.
After this call, Lü Meng finished her studies as quickly as possible and returned to China.
Her mother was also very efficient and quickly arranged for her to join the school.
She saw many things here and finally understood that what had happened to her before was nothing compared to what was constantly happening at the school.
At first, she truly performed her duties as "the eyes" conscientiously, ignoring the pleading gazes of the victims.
Later, Lü Meng herself could not escape.
She too fell into the clutches again.
It was after this incident that Lü Meng suddenly awoke.
She vowed to burn this hell to the ground at all costs, so that sunlight could shine on this land again.
Afterward, for anyone favored by those above, Lü Meng would find ways to drive them away.
Her methods were extreme: she used bullying to force these people to leave the school.
This method worked well and was quite effective.
Some were indeed forced to leave, while others remained here forever.
How many withered flowers were buried in the lake before them.
As for why Ning Wei was targeted at the beginning, it was just to test if she could become her helper.
After all, people like Ning Wei had come many times, but none had caught her eye.
"Then where did those people you mentioned end up?" Ning Wei asked her.
Lü Meng said indifferently, "Useless people can only stay!"
Ning Wei clicked her tongue, realizing that if one couldn't get a train ticket to leave, the final outcome would be death.
However, Lü Meng did not reveal how to get the train ticket.
"I've said what I needed to say, now it's up to you." Lü Meng patted Ning Wei's shoulder and vanished instantly, leaving behind only the marks of her high heels but no trace of her.
By now, she understood the ins and outs of this school.
Ning Wei picked up the mud and stones from the ground and threw them into the lake one by one, listening to the "plop" sound, which was like her heartbeat at that moment.
So strong, so full of life.
And behind them, the school was covered in black everywhere.
Ning Wei suddenly realized, and she knew what she had to do.
She patted the dirt off her clothes, finally able to relax, and returned to her dormitory, plopping down on the bed to sleep.
The next morning, Teacher Lü suddenly announced that summer vacation was about to begin and asked everyone to pack all their belongings before leaving school.
Ning Wei knew this was her last chance.
She called Fu Chengwei to her side and whispered in his ear, "Hurry up and notify the others to wait for me in the grove. We'll leave as soon as the time comes!"
Fu Chengwei was very surprised, "Can we really leave now?"
Ning Wei nodded, patted his head, and coaxed him, "Hurry up, this is the last task I've arranged for you. If you don't do it well, I'll throw you off the bus even if you get on it!"
Ning Wei said threatening words with a smile.
Fu Chengwei broke out in a cold sweat and repeatedly promised, "I will complete the mission!"
After Fu Chengwei left, the students in the class began to pack their textbooks.
Even though it was vacation, they couldn't slack off. They hoped that their three years of hard work would allow their names to be on the school's honor roll.
This was supreme glory and also brought honor to their parents.
Ning Wei stood at the bottom of the teaching building, watching students with backpacks and suitcases, leaving the school in small groups.
Lü Meng came to Ning Wei's side and said with some confusion, "I thought I had warned you enough last night. Why are you doing this?"
Ning Wei smiled, "I naturally have my reasons."
Lü Meng didn't understand, but she stayed by Ning Wei's side.
They watched every student leave the school until all the students were gone.
Lü Meng suddenly burst into laughter and patted Ning Wei's shoulder, "I like you very much. It's good that you're staying."
Ning Wei shook her hand away, "I don't want to stay here with you. Honestly, I really hate you and want to tear your hypocritical face apart."
Even though Ning Wei said this, Lü Meng was not angry. After all, she was in charge here, and there was plenty of time ahead.
After speaking, Ning Wei left Lü Meng and went to the agreed-upon grove.
