nThe next day, Su Yan felt that something was amiss the moment she entered the classroom. Everyone seemed to be whispering to each other. They even pointed at the girl in class whose presence was weak. They could not hide the ridicule in their eyes.

n

nWhen Chen Mo saw Su Yan’s puzzled expression, she quickly ran over and pulled Su Yan to the back of the classroom. “You don’t know, but Zhang Xue was really embarrassed today.”

n

nHearing Chen Mo’s words, Su Yan was even more puzzled. Chen Mo leaned over to Su Yan’s ear and whispered about what happened in the morning.

n

nIt was only then that Su Yan found out that when the study committee member opened the multimedia equipment in the classroom in the morning, Zhang Xue’s indecent photos popped up. At that time, there were already quite a number of people in the classroom. Although the study committee member quickly turned off the projection, this news could no longer be stopped. As more and more people entered the room, more and more people knew about Zhang Xue.

n

nSu Yan looked at Zhang Xue. She was a chubby girl who spoke very little and did not have much presence. Zhang Xue was not in the classroom just now, so she did not know what had happened. But now, she knew that her classmates were probably talking about her. This made Zhang Xue lower her head even more. She even wanted to cover her ears and escape the classroom.

n

nThe form teacher received the news soon and rushed to the classroom. However, when she saw her student, she didn’t know what to say. She felt that whatever she said would hurt the student. In the end, the form teacher could only say, “Regarding this morning’s incident, don’t spread it out. Whoever did it, confess now. Otherwise, we’ll check the surveillance cameras and see who’s so vicious.”

n

nOne of the boys in the class raised his hand meekly. “T-teacher, I might know who did it.” The boy looked at Su Yan.

n

nThe form teacher looked up and the boy said, “I, I was the last one to leave our class yesterday. When I left the school, I saw Su Yan walking into the school.”

n

n“Is that so?” The form teacher looked at Su Yan, only to see that Su Yan’s face was blank and did not seem to be faking it.

n

n“Su Yan, come with me.” The form teacher walked to the door and paused before saying, “Zhang Xue, come with me too.”

n

nSu Yan nonchalantly caught up with her teacher and turned to look at Su Qian. Su Qian’s face immediately turned pale when she met Su Yan’s gaze. She lowered her head and avoided Su Yan’s gaze.

n

nSu Yan and Zhang Xue entered the form teacher’s office together. The form teacher looked at the two of them. One of them had the best family background in the class, while the other was a well-known impoverished family. The two of them usually did not have any interactions or conflicts of interest. The form teacher really did not believe that Su Yan would do such a thing.

n

n“Teacher, I went to tuition after school yesterday. If you don’t believe me, you can take a look at the registration records of the tuition center.”

n

nThe form teacher calmed down and smiled. “Okay, I believe you. I want to ask you, did you return after leaving school yesterday?”

n

nSu Yan shook her head.

n

nThe form teacher understood. The boy had never had a good reputation in the class, moreover, when he spoke, his face was full of uncertainty and fear. The form teacher was almost certain that the boy was lying.

n

nSu Yan continued, “Teacher, you can actually check the surveillance cameras. I remember there are cameras at the end of the corridor.”

n

nAt the mention of the surveillance cameras, Zhang Xue suddenly flinched.

n

nOnly then did the form teacher remember that the victim of this incident was still here. She comforted Zhang Xue and asked calmly, “When you were changing in the toilet, was there anyone else?”

n

nThe toilet of City A High School was not a sealed cubicle. Instead, there was a pit with a wall surrounding it. There was no door, and if one was not careful, they might be taken secretly.

n

nZhang Xue trembled again, she bit her lip and shook her head. She really did not know that she had been secretly photographed, and that those photos had been put in class for everyone to see.

n

nSu Yan felt Zhang Xue’s helplessness. Suddenly, she thought of how she was condemned by everyone in her previous life. When she was unable to explain herself, she hugged Zhang Xue pitifully. When Zhang Xue was trembling, she gently patted Zhang Xue’s head. “It’s okay.”

n

n“You guys go back first, I will investigate this matter thoroughly.”

n

nAfter the form teacher spoke, Su Yan pulled Zhang Xue away. Before they left, Su Yan said to the form teacher, “Teacher, I think Chen Peng is very suspicious.”

n

nChen Peng was the boy who stood up to identify Su Yan.

n

nZhang Xue had been enduring this morning. It was only when she walked out of the teacher’s office that Zhang Xue could no longer hold it in. She sobbed softly and followed Su Yan mechanically.

n

n“Alright, stop crying. It’s alright.” The more Su Yan comforted her, the more Zhang Xue felt wronged. In the end, like a child, she placed her head on Su Yan’s shoulder and started wailing.

n

nSu Yan looked at Zhang Xue with pity and felt even more dissatisfied with Su Qian’s actions.

n

nIt was clearly a grudge between the two of them. What would she implicate others?

n

nThe camera at the end of the corridor flashed red. Su Yan sneered. Su Qian was still young.. Although she was vicious, her methods were still immature.
