After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 107 Restoring the Scene
Chapter 107: Chapter 107 Restoring the Scene
Shi Yaoguang said she had called the police, and indeed, she was not joking.
The police arrived quickly.
Ackled with the police was Quan Jinbei.
The butler had come along with Quan Jinbei.
Just as the principal and the senior board had agreed on whether or not to contract the mountain on the affiliated campus to Shi Yaoguang, they received the news.
He didn’t even have time to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead before he hurried to the school gate.
"What, what has happened?"
The principal looked at the police and then at Quan Jinbei, somewhat indecisive.
Quan Jinbei slightly lifted his chin, indicating that the principal should first find out the police’s intention.
"There’s been a report from your school, alleging slander by a student."
A police officer stepped forward and briefly explained the situation.
Upon hearing this, the principal felt a headache coming on.
After hesitating for a while, he couldn’t help but ask, "Who made the report?"
The officer said, "A student surnamed Shi."
A sinking feeling in his heart, the name Shi Yaoguang sprang to mind.
He thought about it, and the likelihood that Shi Yaoguang was behind it was ninety-nine percent.
The remaining one percent could be outright ignored.
Thinking of this, he felt like he was going bald.
Remembering that Shi Yaoguang’s backer had also arrived, the principal wiped the cold sweat from his hand and opened his mouth, but he didn’t know what to say.
Quan Jinbei glanced at the principal and simply told him to lead the way.
With a trembling heart, the principal led the police and Quan Jinbei to where Shi Yaoguang was.
When they arrived, the crowd of onlooking students had doubled from before.
As the central figure of the incident, student Shi Yaoguang, was being ridiculed by Qin Hongbo with blunt words.
"Even if you called the police, do you think that will help you? You had the audacity to use hypnotism on a classmate, causing her disfigurement. That’s your responsibility, and now that you’re an adult, even though such a crime may not warrant a severe punishment for you, detention is certainly enough. Once you’re taken away, I’d like to see how arrogant you can be!"
"...Just a bit of hypnotism? Do you really think you’re some unbelievable genius? If you could do whatever you wanted by using hypnotism, what’s the point of having laws in this world? Don’t think that by calling the police you won’t be held accountable and treated as a victim instead. With so many of us here to testify, let’s see what kind of consequences you’ll face in the end!"
Just as the principal arrived, he heard Qin Hongbo making threats and his heart skipped a beat.
What was Qin Hongbo thinking?
Was he tired of living?
Qin Hongbo naturally saw the principal as well, and upon seeing him, instead of feeling the slightest bit nervous, he was quite composed.
"Principal, you’ve arrived just in time. Shi Yaoguang used hypnotism to harm a classmate, and you must give the students an explanation for this. You can’t cover up for Shi Yaoguang, the instigator of this disaster!"
After Qin Hongbo finished, seeing the principal’s ashen face, he thought the principal was still undecided.
Noticing several police officers in uniform following the principal, he turned his attention to them.
"Officer..."
Just as Qin Hongbo greeted them, he was stared down by the principal.
At that moment, the principal truly wished he could immediately fire Qin Hongbo, this unashamed teacher.
There was no evidence at all that Shi Yaoguang knew hypnotism or had used it to harm a classmate.
On the contrary, she was confidently dealing with the incident of her reputation being damaged.
Clearly, she was looking for the right opportunity to clear her name.
Who knew that Qin Hongbo would be so foolish as to deliver himself to the doorstep.
Thinking of this, the principal was furious.
Yet, Qin Hongbo completely ignored him.
Startled for a moment by the principal’s glare, Qin Hongbo quickly regained his composure.
He decisively disregarded the principal’s look and rushed to the police officer, eagerly relaying the details.
"Officer, our school’s Shi Yaoguang is a criminal! You must arrest her. Such a person is too dangerous to remain in the school..."
In front of Shi Yaoguang, Qin Hongbo was inciting the police to arrest her.
And he added fuel to the fire by recounting Shi Yaoguang’s "hypnotism" of Yu Zhenzhen all over again.
The officer listened politely until he finished speaking and then turned his attention to Shi Yaoguang.
"Miss Shi, you called the police claiming someone slandered you, what’s the matter?"
When Qin Hongbo heard the officer’s question, he was initially taken aback and then became indignant.
He looked resentfully at the officer, "It’s not what I’m saying, but what do you mean? Just because Shi Yaoguang called the police first, what of it? Even if she was the one to report, if she committed a crime, you can’t be partial towards her!"
Facing the almost fanatical Qin Hongbo, the officer was somewhat helpless, "Sir, we do not favor anyone, please do not obstruct us in carrying out our duty."
Qin Hongbo still felt unconvinced, but the principal didn’t give him the chance to continue.
Embarrassing.
It was too embarrassing.
The principal had someone notify the director of academic affairs to come over and take Qin Hongbo away.
In their school, just one Qin Hongbo was enough to make people question the quality of the school.
Shi Yaoguang, on the other hand, did not take Qin’s words to heart and responded very calmly to the officer’s question.
"It’s like this, my classmates Shi Yiqing, An Siqi, Yu Zhenzhen, including the previously taken away Teacher Qin, have all risked slandering me."
As she spoke, her gaze swept over the crowd, her tone elusive, "As for some classmates who have been deceived, I think they can be given a chance."
At her words, the way everyone looked at her carried a tinge of barely concealed excitement.
After she finished speaking, the officer asked very procedurally, "You say they slandered you, do you have any evidence?"
At those words, everyone looked expectant.
If Shi Yaoguang couldn’t produce evidence to prove her innocence, there would be quite a spectacle to witness.
Conversely, if Shi Yaoguang couldn’t prove her innocence, it seemed that wouldn’t be good either.
After all...
They were all from the same school as Shi Yaoguang.
If Shi Yaoguang really could perform such powerful hypnotism, wouldn’t they all be in danger?
Shi Yaoguang, appearing oblivious to everyone’s thoughts, presented her evidence with utmost calm.
"They’ve accused me of many crimes, but the foremost is that I used hypnotism on classmate Yu Zhenzhen, causing her to harm herself."
Suddenly addressed, Yu Zhenzhen immediately raised her hand and exclaimed, "I didn’t slander you! My face was ruined by you; don’t think you can weasel out of this!"
"Weasel out? No, I have no intention of doing that,"
Shi Yaoguang said, curling the corners of her mouth, "Actually, I wouldn’t mind reenacting the scene at that time."
Upon hearing this, the crowd unconsciously held their breath, waiting in anticipation.
Yu Zhenzhen’s hand shook slightly.
Reenact the scene?
There was surely no need for that, right?
Noticing Yu Zhenzhen’s hesitation, An Siqi subtly nudged her.
Yu Zhenzhen exchanged a look with her, gradually calming down.
Just because Shi Yaoguang suggested reenacting the scene, did that mean it would really happen?
