Chapter 146: Lured to a Hotel by Deception

"Luo Shencheng, why aren't you drinking yours?"

Luo Shencheng, caught off guard, couldn't help but scratch his head. "I..."

Lu Wendong held up the special tea, looking gossipy. "He's planning to give that to Jiang Beibei from Class 1."

Suddenly, the gazes of all his classmates swept toward him, and for once, Luo Shencheng blushed.

"What are you doing! She mentioned these past few days that she's under a lot of academic pressure and feeling sleepy, so I thought I'd let her try the Boss's special tea."

Shen Chutang laughed. "Drink the one meant for you. Take my cup, and since Tan Xiaoling asked for leave today, take hers too. Give one to Jiang Beibei and one to Yan Ruyu. Help me deliver them."

Luo Shencheng nodded and headed to the entrance of Class A with the two cups of special tea. Since Yan Ruyu was there, calling Jiang Beibei out wouldn't seem out of place.

After drinking the special tea, the students in Class Z clearly felt more energized. Yan Ruyu and Jiang Beibei in Class A also realized the effectiveness of the brew, finding themselves surprisingly alert throughout the day.

When the principal came by for an inspection, he noticed that while students in other classes were drowsy, Class Z had the best learning atmosphere.

After learning that Shen Chutang had been making this special tea for her students, teachers from other classes grew curious. The principal couldn't help but ask Shen Chutang if she could publish the recipe so everyone in the school could benefit.

Since the tea was not difficult to make and Shen Chutang didn't have the time to prepare it for the entire school, she handed the recipe to the principal. From then on, the cafeteria would take over, and any student who wanted some could go and get it themselves.

"Teacher Shen is truly selfless. On behalf of all the teachers and students, I thank you!"

Shen Chutang waved her hand, indicating it was nothing to worry about.

She had done this originally just for her students in Class Z. Having the cafeteria take over would also free up her own time.

She had been closely monitoring the exam results of Class Z; they were improving rapidly. Not only were the students eager for the midterm exams, but she herself couldn't wait to see Class Z crush Class F.

After school, as Shen Chutang walked ahead, she overheard two students whispering while looking at their phones.

"A student actually going to a hotel with someone? That’s too bold!"

"Even though you can only see a side profile, some people are saying it looks like a girl from Class Z!"

"Really?"

"Of course it's real. Someone dug it up on the school forum earlier. It was deleted, but some people saved the photo."

Shen Chutang stepped forward quickly. "Excuse me, students. What photo were you talking about? Could you let me see?"

The two girls were startled. They had assumed the teacher was coming to scold them for having phones, but after glancing at the photo, the teacher's expression changed instantly, and she hurried away.

Shen Chutang used her phone to look up the address of the hotel and immediately hailed a taxi to get there.

The girl in the photo was none other than Tan Xiaoling.

The students of Class Z had been very well-behaved lately, so when Tan Xiaoling said she couldn't come to class today due to personal business, Shen Chutang hadn't doubted her. She never expected that Tan Xiaoling would end up at a hotel with a man.

Regardless of what they were doing, as her teacher, Shen Chutang felt responsible for the situation.

She arrived at the hotel as fast as she could and approached the front desk. "Where is this girl?"

The receptionist smiled politely. "I'm sorry, we cannot disclose guest information."

Shen Chutang frowned. Just as she was about to hack into the hotel system, she noticed a cleaning lady standing nearby signaling to her.

Shen Chutang stepped forward. "Ma'am, have you seen the girl in this picture?"

The cleaning lady spoke immediately. "I have. That school uniform is so distinctive. I was just thinking what a scumbag someone must be to bring a schoolgirl here, but I couldn't really interfere. Since you're here, it’s perfect—I'll take you!"

Shen Chutang nodded. "Thank you for your trouble."

The cleaning lady quickly led Shen Chutang to a specific floor. "It's this room. I’ve been watching it. I wanted to stop it, but when I saw the girl wasn't resisting, I didn't dare say anything."

As she spoke, the cleaning lady took out a room key and opened the door for Shen Chutang.

It was pitch black inside. Sensing something was wrong, Shen Chutang hurried toward the bed.

There was only a dark silhouette on the bed. Just
