Mrs. Qin’s expression darkened when she saw Xue Xi.

She still remembered that the last time she came to the school, it was Xue Xi who took Qin Shuang away. After that, Qin Shuang ran away from home and messed around outside. Hence, her expression was unfriendly. “I don’t need to explain this to you, right?”

After saying that, she turned around and left.

However, Xue Xi still felt that something was amiss. Picking up her phone, she found the chatterbox and sent her a message, but the other party did not reply.

Xue Xi could only return to class. When she was about to have lunch, the girl who kept chattering beside her was still not around. She was not used to it.

She went to the canteen to get some food and found a place to sit. She took out her phone to take a look and realized that the chatterbox still had not replied.

She decided to call her. The phone was not switched off, but it rang for a long time and no one picked up.

…

The Qin family.

After Mrs. Qin was done with the transfer procedures, she returned home and the butler welcomed her.

Mrs. Qin asked, “Is she still being disobedient?”

The butler nodded.

Ever since she’d been forcefully brought home last night, Qin Shuang had been staying in her room. She’d kept banging on her door, but when her voice turned hoarse, she simply squatted on the ground and did not speak.

Mrs. Qin sighed. She had not slept for the whole night and her eyes were a little red. At this moment, she went upstairs listlessly and opened the door to Qin Shuang’s room.

Qin Shuang was already exhausted from struggling. She was curled up in a corner when she heard the sound. She looked up. “Mom, let me go!”

Mrs. Qin steeled her heart and said, “Let you go so you could continue live-streaming? Are you trying to make a joke out of yourself? Qin Shuang, I’m your mother. You don’t want me to give you money and insist on making a fool out of yourself. Are you going to make my heart ache to death before you give in?”

Qin Shuang looked at her blankly.

Heartache?

She felt that this word was very sarcastic. “Do you feel sorry for me?”

“Of course. You’re also my flesh and blood!” Mrs. Qin walked up to Qin Shuang. “Do you think being a parent is that easy? Yes, I admit that I’ve said nasty things to you in the past, but I did it for your own good!”

Qin Shuang clenched her fists and did not speak.

Mrs. Qin would never think that she was wrong. In her eyes, Qin Lu was a good child and all the bad things were done by her, Qin Shuang.

Qin Lu would shirk the responsibility because she’d had a straightforward personality since she was young and knew how to cajole her mother…

She sneered. “Can’t you just pretend that you don’t have a daughter like me?”

Seeing that she was still being stubborn, Mrs. Qin took a deep breath. “I’ve been thinking about it carefully during this period of time. I was too biased and hurt your heart. However, given my personality, I can’t educate you well. That’s why I looked for other ways to teach you. I heard from my friends that there is a good military-style school that can help students quit their Internet addiction. Hence, I spent a high price to enroll you. I’ll bring you there now.”

Qin Shuang shouted, “I’m not going! I want to go back to the international school!”

Mrs. Qin immediately called two bodyguards in, who easily controlled Qin Shuang. The group went downstairs and boarded the car.

Qin Shuang stopped struggling.

She knew that it was basically impossible for her to escape now. She could only climb over the wall after she’d reached the new school. Anyway, she often did such things.

She turned to look out of the window, feeling anxious and frustrated.

Soon, the car arrived at the destination. It was actually located on the outskirts.

Qin Shuang was pushed out of the car by the bodyguards and followed Mrs. Qin to the entrance of the new school.

When she saw the closed metal door, Qin Shuang’s heart skipped a beat. An inexplicable sense of oppression and fear arose in her.

The principal and the form teacher personally welcomed them.

Mrs. Qin looked at Qin Shuang and said earnestly, “Xiao Shuang, I know that you’ll hate me even more, but this is a good school. Do you still remember our neighbor’s Little Fatty? He has been lawless since he was young, but he has been studying here for three years. Whenever he comes home, he now behaves extremely obediently. I’m doing this for your own good. Alright, go in with the teacher.”

Qin Shuang frowned. Just as she was about to say something, the teacher smiled and held her shoulders. “Student Qin Shuang, right? Come, let’s enter the school.”

Qin Shuang followed the form teacher into the school. The form teacher was a short and fat man like Old Liu.

Bang! The metal door closed and the sound startled her.

She turned around and suddenly felt that something was amiss. There were many students in the school, but all of them were slow-witted.

Just as she was thinking this, the form teacher ordered, “Remove your makeup first.”

Qin Shuang: “?”

She frowned. “I don’t have makeup remover. You…”

Before she could finish speaking, the form teacher suddenly grabbed her hair. He did not look tall, but he was strong. Qin Shuang was dragged to the sink in the courtyard. “What are you doing?”

Amid her anger, the form teacher turned on the faucet. When the water in the sink was full, he pressed her face down!

Qin Shuang panicked and struggled to breathe.

However, the hand at the back of her head was too strong and she could not break free! Time passed by slowly, and the suffocating feeling made her chest hurt terribly. When she finally had no more strength to struggle, her eyes turned black and she was about to lose consciousness. Only then did the form teacher finally let go of her head.

“Hu, hu, hu!” She panted heavily. Just as she took a deep breath, someone grabbed the back of her head and pressed it into the water again…

After this was repeated five to six times, Qin Shuang’s entire body had become weak. Her upper body was basically soaked and dripping water to the ground.

The form teacher stared at her. “Will you listen to me in the future?”

Qin Shuang finally calmed down and shouted, “This is physical punishment. It’s illegal…”

Before she could finish speaking, she was pressed into the water again.

“Will you listen to me in the future?”

Whoosh!

“Will you be obedient?”

Whoosh!

…

Qin Shuang had been tormented for an unknown period of time. This suffocating pain made her feel like she was about to break down. In the end, she finally cried and said, “I’ll be good, I’ll be obedient!”

The form teacher then threw her onto the ground. “Then let’s go to class.”

She was still in her wet clothes. However, when she saw the teacher’s gaze, Qin Shuang could only enter the classroom without changing.

The weather in October was already very cold, making her shiver.

She looked around and realized that this school was a metal bucket. Other than the door, there was no other place to escape!

…

When Mrs. Qin returned home, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the school looked sinister.

At night, when Mr. Qin returned home, she mumbled worriedly, “I wonder how Qin Shuang is doing right now.”

Mr. Qin: “Can’t you just call her?”

Mrs. Qin thought about it and nodded. “Yes, I’ll make a call.”

She directly called the school’s principal and the latter answered quickly. “The children have left their parents’ side and know that no one is going to spoil them anymore. Thus, they are very obedient. Qin Shuang is also getting very used to it.”

Mrs. Qin still felt uneasy. “Then get her to answer the call. I’ll speak to her.”

…

At the same time, Xue Xi, who had already returned home from school, felt that something was amiss. She sent Little Flame Gao Yanchen a WeChat message: “Can you find out which school the chatterbox is in?”
