Xie Chaochao brought Xiao Hua back to the classroom. Her classmates had already returned.
“Thank you for helping me find Xiao Hua. I’ll treat you guys to some candies!”
Xie Chaochao usually didn’t lack candies. However, Xie Zhou was afraid that her teeth would be damaged if she ate too much, so he didn’t let her bring too much to school.
She naturally did not have enough candies to treat the entire class. Xu Shan had gone out to buy all these candies.
Xu Shan often climbed over the walls and ran out. It was the same this time. After he climbed out of school, there was a small store at the school gate. The candies were bought there.
The students in the class were very happy.
After distributing the candies, Xu Shan did not leave but walked to the podium.
At this moment, the smile on his face was gone. He stared at the students below. His reputation in school was already not good to begin
with. Now that he was acting like this, the students in the class were a little afraid of him.
“Realgar suddenly appeared in Xie Chaochao’s desk drawer today, which is why Xiao Hua went into hiding. I just wanted to ask, does
anyone know where the realgar had come from?”
When the students heard this, they were somewhat puzzled and surprised.
“You mean, someone deliberately placed realgar in Xie Chaochao’s drawer?”
It was not that no one had thought of this possibility. It was just that the group of naive children did not want to believe that there were
classmates with such evil intentions.
“Whoever the culprit is, you know it better than anyone else! If you take the initiative to admit it and apologize to Xie Chaochao, I can let
this matter pass. If I find out who you are, I won’t let you off!”
“Who would do such a thing? That is too evil!”
“That’s right! The culprit shouldn’t be among us, right?”
Listening to the students’ discussion, Xu Shan continued, “I’m giving the culprit one last chance. Step forward early. Otherwise, I’ll get
the teacher to check the surveillance cameras. You probably don’t know, but in order to keep track of the students’ situation in class, the
school specially installed cameras in the class. Whatever everyone did, we just have to check the surveillance cameras and we’ll be able
to find out!”
His words triggered an even more heated discussion. If there were surveillance cameras in the classroom, wouldn’t the teachers see if
they were not attentive in class?
Xu Shan observed the changes in the students’ expressions and eventually fixed his eyes on Wang Xiaomei.
Wang Xiaomei looked flustered. There was guilt and worry in her eyes.
“Since no one is willing to admit it, I’ll go and look for the teacher. However, if the teacher finds out about this, perhaps such evil
students won’t be able to study here anymore!”
As Xu Shan spoke, he walked out of the classroom.
“Wait!”
Xu Shan let out a smile. When he turned around, there was no one.
Wang Xiaomei regretted shouting this phrase. However, when she thought of what Xu Shan had said about being expelled, she was
afraid.
“I... I was just joking with Xie Chaochao!”
She explained, but no one believed her excuse.
Everyone remembered the conflict between Xie Chaochao and Wang Xiaomei. It seemed like Wang Xiaomei had harbored grudges
against Xie Chaochao, so she placed realgar in her drawer.
“Actually, I already guessed that it was her. She’s the only one in our class who has had a conflict with Xie Chaochao!”
“Xie Chaochao treats her classmates so well. It’s obvious that Wang Xiaomei is looking for trouble! Now, she even deliberately used
realgar to hurt Xiao Hua. She’s too vicious!”
Wang Xiaomei listened to the girls’ discussion and was furious.
“I’m vicious. She was clearly the one who scared me with the disgusting snake first!”
The girls stopped talking after being glared at by Wang Xiaomei, but the discussion did not stop..
