A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Gui Er suddenly had an idea, and said to Ah Cheng, "Brother Ah Cheng, why don't you teach her a lesson? Just tell her that Young Master Liang likes prostitutes pretending to be decent women. Here's how you do it: find her a set of schoolgirl clothes and have her dress up to meet Young Master Liang. Then I'll have the tabloid reporters hired by Boss Xu take their pictures. Wouldn't that make for a salacious news story?"

Ah Cheng slapped his thigh and said, "That's a good idea, but we have to find that reporter in advance."

Gui'er said, "Don't worry, I'll go ask Boss Xu right away."

Considering that she was a student after all, always looking for a school worker would easily arouse suspicion. Miss Shen was now one of them anyway, so she immediately ran to the teacher's office and told Miss Shen about this matter while other teachers were out.

Miss Shen frowned and said, "This idea should have a high success rate. After all, this news will definitely cause a sensation when it comes out. This person is slandering female students. But if there is another way, I really don't want to use this method."

Gui Er smiled bitterly and said, "How can I deal with a scoundrel like a gentleman? Besides, he has already told the prostitute he's been dating that he wants to take action against Zhou Huifang. Zhou Huifang is also extremely addicted now. It might be too late if we delay."

Miss Shen heard this and said, "Okay, I'll go find Lao Xu right away."

Not long after, a classmate said that Teacher Shen wanted to see her and asked her to go to the office.

Gui'er hurried to Miss Shen's office. With other teachers present, it was difficult for them to speak clearly. Miss Shen took out a business card and handed it to her, saying, "This is what you asked for. Be sure to be careful."

Guier quickly took the business card in her hand and hid it in her sleeve. Then she said to Miss Shen, "Okay," and quickly left the classroom.

When she arrived at a secluded place on campus, she took out the business card and looked at it carefully.

The business card said that the man's name was Jia Wenlu, and he was a reporter and editor of the "Picture Daily". Gui'er had never heard of the name of this newspaper. When she turned the business card over, she saw that it was printed with: If you have any explosive news, scandals, celebrity love affairs, star anecdotes, dancers, or singers, please provide the information and you will be paid.

Wow, he is actually a reporter who specializes in gossip news in this area.

Guier quickly put the business card in her pocket and returned to the classroom.

After finally getting through school, she left the school gate and got into the rickshaw Ah Cheng had ordered. After driving a few hundred meters or so, she saw that no one was paying attention. Then she handed her business card to Ah Cheng and said, "This is the person Boss Xu is looking for. You can find some excuse to approach him and tell him about Liang Guowei's situation, but don't mention Boss Xu or reveal your identity. Then just stand by and observe what's going on."

Ah Cheng took it, looked at the business card for a long time, smiled bitterly and said, "Miss, have you forgotten? I can't read."

Gui'er was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Oh, that's right, I forgot about it when I was so happy."

Then she stopped the rickshaw and asked it to go ahead. The two of them found a small stall on the side of the road and sat down.

Gui'er ordered two bowls of Meiling porridge, then took the business card and explained the contents to Ah Cheng. She said, "Brother Ah Cheng, look here's the newspaper's phone number. Call them and pretend to be providing a tip, and you can even ask for a reward. If they ask to meet you, you must disguise yourself and use a fake name. You must not let them see through your identity. There's another important point: to prevent the tabloid reporter from finding the information and asking Liang Guowei for hush money and then not publishing the news, we shouldn't tell him Mr. Liang's true background. We should just say he's a young man from Jiangcheng who came to Nanjing to hunt for women."

Ah Cheng listened carefully, nodded continuously, and said, "Don't worry, miss, I will remember it."

After the two of them agreed, they found another rickshaw to return to Shafu.

From then on, Gui'er looked forward to news every day, while keeping a close eye on Zhou Huifang, fearing that Liang Guowei would take advantage of her accidentally.

Zhou Huifang had no idea what was happening behind the scenes and still spent every day happily with Guier.

After several days, one day, Ah Cheng quietly told Gui Er, "Miss, it's done! After I told the reporter about this, he was very interested and even paid me, saying that this report would definitely receive a good response."

Gui'er was delighted to hear this, but she still had some concerns: "Does the reporter know how to take the photo? What if he doesn't get a photo of Liang Guowei and just writes an article? Who would recognize it as him? That would be of no use to us."

Ah Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry. I've met with that reporter. He really enjoys reporting on these things. He even bought an imported camera, the kind that doesn't have a flash, saying it would be easier to take secret photos. I told him when Young Master Liang would be going to that brothel, so he could just pretend to be a client and sneak in and take photos easily. Young Master Liang also loves to be in the spotlight. He's always surrounded by women in the brothel, never hiding from anyone."

Gui'er said happily: "Great! Brother Cheng, you did a great job."

Then, she hurriedly asked Miss Shen to inform Xu Wenjie to pay attention to the tabloid and keep the newspaper if it published any news about Liang Guowei.

Miss Shen is extremely efficient and quickly replied that Guier had been notified.

The next day, Gui'er walked into the school and saw Miss Shen smiling and nodding at her from a distance. She suddenly realized that the book had been published. So, she quickly pulled Zhou Huifang over and said, "Huifang, let's go to the school library and read some books." She then led her to the library, intentionally or unintentionally, and led her to the newspaper and magazine area.

Coming to the newspaper rack, Guier pretended to rummage through it casually and soon saw the "Picture Daily".

She calmly picked up the newspaper and saw the headline on the front page: "Young Master Jiangcheng goes to Nanjing to hunt for beauties. He has unique taste and even lets prostitutes dress up as schoolgirls for pleasure." There was also a blurry photo next to it. Although the face could not be seen clearly, it could be seen that it was a picture of a woman in schoolgirl clothes with Liang Guowei. The gorgeous and gaudy decorations around it made it clear to anyone with a discerning eye that it was a brothel.

Guier glanced at Zhou Huifang, but in order to avoid her suspicion, she did not point out the report directly. Instead, she quietly took out the article reporting on Liang Guowei and then put the newspaper on top.

Then she took another newspaper and said to Zhou Huifang, "My family doesn't subscribe to this newspaper. It's not class time yet, so I'll go sit over there and read it."
