Chapter 573: Chapter 574 Sister Flowers Educated Youth 91_1

Gao Jian stormed into Capital Medical University, thoroughly enraged. He truly had never imagined that the very people he thought he had wrapped around his finger would pull such a stunt on him.

What was even worse was that he had thought, even if Shen Yuan took away the money box, he would still have enough funds to make a comeback.

After turning his house upside down, however, all he found was a small overlooked sum.

The hidden funds were placed by him, so naturally, he knew exactly what was inside: a bankbook, and then some two to three thousand in cash.

When he touched the pouch, feeling its thickness, he was quite pleased. However, when he opened it, he found that the supposed thickness was due to a stack of straw paper.

At the top and bottom were ten ten-yuan notes each, totaling a hundred yuan.

What angered him even more was the note from Shen Yuan that was left inside: "Gao Jian, when you first started doing business, you only put in 30 yuan. The rest of the seed money was provided by me. All these days you have been eating, drinking, buying clothes, and even gifts for your mistress. Now settling the accounts as follows: the original capital of 30 yuan for you, 10 yuan in profit for you, and this marks the end of our partnership."

Of course, Gao Jian knew who initially provided the funds for their business, but what he hadn’t expected was that the business was his idea, and he was the one who did all the hard work upfront.

And now Shen Yuan, this malicious woman, had given him only 10 yuan and said she no longer wanted to cooperate!

What was this supposed to mean? Gao Jian was nearly driven insane. He knew exactly how much money Shen Yuan had taken—there must have been at least fifty to sixty thousand.

At that moment, the only thought in Gao Jian’s mind was that he must find Shen Yuan. Even if they were not going to work together anymore, they needed to have a proper discussion about the dividends.

Shen Jie watched as Gao Jian, with his contorted face full of rage, stood before her, thinking to herself how quickly this man had aged. He hadn’t been particularly handsome to begin with, yet he managed to be so fierce.

"You’re looking for me..." Shen Jie wondered what Gao Jian could want with her. Could it be that he found out she had tricked Shen Yuan?

"Do you know where Shen Yuan has gone?"

"She, she actually took all of my money and ran away." The very thought of his money disappearing made Gao Jian utterly miserable.

He shook Shen Jie incessantly, demanding that she reveal Shen Yuan’s whereabouts.

What? Shen Yuan ran away with the money? Shen Jie was stunned, but she was very displeased with Gao Jian’s actions.

"Help, somebody help!" Shen Jie kicked at Gao Jian while shouting loudly for help.

The girl who brought Gao Jian here didn’t expect him to be such a madman and quickly rushed forward, attempting to pull Gao Jian away.

But at that moment, Gao Jian saw Shen Jie as his last hope and was not about to let go so easily.

Luckily, some people heard the cries for help and rushed over. A few tall and sturdy male students managed to pull Gao Jian away.

Only then did Shen Jie feel that her personal safety was guaranteed. Gao Jian was undoubtedly ruthless, "Where Shen Yuan has gone, how would I know?"

"You’re not completely unaware. Because of you, Shen Yuan has been scheming against me, and our relationship couldn’t get any worse."

"Moreover, a few days ago, Shen Yuan came looking for me; she said she would partner with you in business and took all your money."

"If you really think she’s taken your money, you should go to the police. Let the authorities track them down."

"How would I know her whereabouts?" Shen Jie observed the agitated Gao Jian screaming about money.

At this moment, she was sure that Shen Yuan had indeed made the first move, although she didn’t know why she would act out, but her mood was particularly elated.

Now it was clear, they were destined to be the bitterest of enemies.

"You know we were partners in business, how could you not know where she’s gone?"

"I just know—despite your bad relationship, why she would insist on seeing you."

On his way over, Gao Jian felt that Shen Yuan was determined to see Shen Jie, perhaps to discuss a strategy.

"It was you who conspired, you schemed against my money," Gao Jian had been in a groggy sleep at home for more than a day before he woke up, which was just past midnight today.

At first, he was disoriented and felt light-headed. He called for Shen Yuan, but she paid no attention, which angered him, prompting him to get up.

He looked around and didn’t find Shen Yuan. Although there were still some of her clothes in the wardrobe, he noticed that the clothes left behind were cheap, patched-up ones.

The expensive clothes had all disappeared, which frightened Gao Jian considerably.

Then he discovered that the money box was gone, the private savings were gone; only after knocking on the neighbor’s door and under their expressions of dissatisfaction did he learn that Shen Yuan had left more than a day ago.

She had been gone for so long, one could guess she had already traveled to another place. In the vastness of China, who knew where she could be.

Right now, Gao Jian just wanted to get the money, and Shen Jie was his target.

Accused of conspiring? Shen Jie laughed, "You say ’conspiring’ just because Shen Yuan came to see me?"

"Weren’t you two high school sweethearts? For your sake, she manipulated me in all sorts of ways. Now do you feel that because I have been admitted to university, have pursued a graduate degree, you want to tarnish my reputation and prevent me from graduating?"

"Indeed, you two are old hands at this, previously plotting to steal the admission notices of the educated youths from the same village. Now treating me this way, it seems quite normal."

"How so, was the time you spent locked up, reeducated, so short that you never took it to heart?"

When the crowd heard Gao Jian accusing Shen Jie of plotting against his money, they felt it unlikely but still maintained neutrality.

Upon hearing Shen Jie expose his dark past, and that he had been incarcerated for reeducation, they could affirm that it might well be this man who was scheming against Shen Jie.

"Moreover, you say Shen Yuan took tens of thousands of your money, why don’t you report it? Voice all your suspicions."

"You can have the police talk to me."

"Who does it like you, reporting the case, then rushing to the university to say, ’your money has been taken, and it’s tens of thousands at that’?"

Shen Jie sneered, "I remember asking Shen Yuan if you two were buying a house, and she said that you needed to stock up and couldn’t afford to buy a house."

"With tens of thousands already, couldn’t you spare a few thousand to buy a house?"

"You two wouldn’t be trying to blackmail me, would you?" Shen Jie looked at Gao Jian skeptically, "Let’s go, we’re reporting this."

"This matter must be reported."

Shen Jie took the lead, charging forward, "With such a serious matter, I will not take the blame, and it’s impossible for me to do so."

"To report it, we must report it." Shen Jie hurried to report the incident to the authorities.

Seeing Shen Jie repeatedly insisting on calling the police, whereas the supposed victim, Gao Jian, was hanging back, not seeming very keen on involving the police.

Everyone felt there was a problem and grabbed hold of Gao Jian, "Right, let’s go, let’s all report it together."

"Don’t worry, if this is true, someone will definitely take up your cause."

"Of course, if it’s false, we can’t wrongly accuse anyone."

Being falsely accused would surely be distressing for anyone; they absolutely could not become accomplices.

Damn, Gao Jian had not expected things to turn out this way, he panicked, totally panicked.

"I, I won’t go, I won’t go anymore." If possible, Gao Jian really did not want to deal with the authorities.

It would remind him of those unbearable past memories, which he truly did not wish to recall.
