After the True Heiress Travels Back-Chapter 110: Give an Explanation

An Siqi’s face turned shades of green and white, her resentment not only directed at Shi Yaoguang but also growing towards the police officer.

She even wondered if Shi Yaoguang had conspired with the other side in advance.

Deliberately setting a trap and waiting for her to fall into it.

As soon as the possibility crossed her mind, An Siqi couldn’t help but confront the police officer she had originally been speaking with, "You must have colluded with her! Did she bribe you beforehand?"

What An Siqi said was indeed an accusation that cut deep.

The way people looked at her took on a shade of peculiarity.

Was An Siqi genuinely naive, or was she feigning ignorance?

Could she really have been driven mad by anger?

Shi Yiqing had not expected An Siqi to blurt out something like that.

Not to mention whether Shi Yaoguang had the ability to bribe anyone, even if she had really bribed someone, did An Siqi think that her public accusation would be believed?

The police officer under suspicion looked at An Siqi with an expression that didn’t change much, and said very calmly, "If this student is curious about whether I have accepted bribes, she can report it through official channels."

As he spoke, as if he was afraid that An Siqi would not know who to report, he even gave his police badge number and name.

After hearing him out, An Siqi’s face showed a peculiar expression.

Actually, she regretted her accusations the moment they left her mouth.

Especially after hearing the police officer’s name, she vaguely recalled that the son of the mayor of Mingzhu City bore that name.

Yaoguang, however, hadn’t noticed these details. Watching An Siqi’s expression of annoyance, she arched her eyebrows, finding it a bit surprising.

An Siqi didn’t seem like the type who would feel guilty about misunderstanding someone.

Any feelings of remorse would be directed at herself.

She would only regret it if she made a wrong decision that resulted in a significant loss for herself.

As for others?

That’s not likely.

Not a chance in ten thousand, unless she herself suffered an unbearable weight, and only then might she regret provoking someone.

Yaoguang thought it through clearly; she really did understand An Siqi.

An Siqi, looking at her, had a resentment in her eyes that almost seemed to take physical form.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yaoguang shrugged, "I haven’t even accused you of deliberately framing me yet, of maliciously slandering me for bribing a police officer. Although the crime isn’t capital, the sentence isn’t light, right?"

Anxiety flickered in An Siqi’s eyes, "That’s not what I meant, you... don’t get me wrong."

"Oh? But just now, it was clearly you who started suspecting the officer."

An Siqi hurriedly turned to the officer and said, "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have been so distrustful. Please show me mercy, officer, and let me off."

The officer didn’t bother quibbling with a young girl who hadn’t yet entered society and nodded slightly as a sign of agreement.

An Siqi breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Yu Zhenzhen, who couldn’t help scratching her own face twice, turned her resentment back towards Yaoguang, "You’ve ruined my face, you must give me an explanation."

"An explanation?"

Yaoguang looked utterly puzzled, "What kind of explanation do you still want?"

Convinced of her rights, Yu Zhenzhen asserted, "If not for you, my face wouldn’t have ended up like this. You must fix my face!"

Yaoguang: "..."

She was speechless, "Please, classmate, before you come to bother me, could you at least think through the logic?"

Yu Zhenzhen scoffed, "What logic? If it weren’t for you, my face wouldn’t be like this at all, and now it’s even more damaged!"

Yaoguang thought for a moment and then said, "The first time you scratched your own face, it was completely your own doing. Though you intended to grab me, I’m not your puppet on strings, naturally, I wouldn’t stand still and let you scratch me, right? Thus, you scratching yourself is entirely your own fault. Even if you want to sue me, you would be the one without reason."

"However..."

She paused, then said with much empathy, "The second time, it was indeed my fault. After all, I needed your cooperation to prove my innocence. Even though you still wanted to seize the opportunity to disfigure me, it doesn’t matter. I’m broad-minded enough not to bite back after being bitten by a dog. So, I will take responsibility for the secondary injuries to your face."

Yu Zhenzhen’s voice was shrill, "Take responsibility? How can you take responsibility?"

"I have some healing ointment here. Just apply it, and you’ll be fine."

Shi Yaoguang said as she took out a simple plastic box.

It looked like the kind used by street-side duck sauce shops for condiments—quite cheap at first glance.

Yu Zhenzhen immediately showed a look of disgust, "Are you trying to fob me off with this junk?"

Shi Yaoguang made as if to take it back, "Since you don’t want it, then forget it."

"Who said I don’t want it?" Despite her disgust, Yu Zhenzhen still snatched the plastic box and opened it.

Upon opening the box and seeing the green ointment inside, she curled her lip in disdain.

"What’s this?"

Shi Yaoguang replied, "After you apply it, the wound on your face will heal back to the way it was at the beginning."

Yu Zhenzhen was skeptical, but...

Even if she didn’t believe it, she still wanted to set a trap for Shi Yaoguang to fall into!

If she, in front of all these people, used what Shi Yaoguang gave her, and then the injuries on her face worsened...

Shi Yaoguang would not only be denounced by everyone, but she would also become the subject of gossip.

Then Yu Zhenzhen would have her revenge.

Yu Zhenzhen, thinking simply, applied the green ointment in front of everyone.

The crowd watched her actions, their hearts instinctively rising.

Fearing that something unexpected would happen.

After Yu Zhenzhen applied the ointment, a minute passed.

She suddenly began to scream.

"It’s, it’s so itchy!"

She reached out to scratch, but Shi Yaoguang was quicker, restraining her hands.

Yu Zhenzhen wanted to fight back, but she couldn’t manage it.

Everyone listening to her heart-wrenching cries felt uneasy.

"It’s so itchy... It feels like there are ten thousand ants crawling on my face, Shi Yaoguang, let me go... Ahh..."

Hearing Yu Zhenzhen’s screams, Shi Yiqing immediately showed a look of compassion.

"Zhenzhen~"

Shi Yiqing looked at Shi Yaoguang with disapproval and demanded that she let go, "You can’t keep holding her like this!"

Shi Yaoguang glanced at her lightly, "If I let her go and she scratches her face to shreds, can you take responsibility?"

Shi Yiqing’s expression stiffened; of course, she couldn’t take responsibility.

After thinking for a while, she finally found a direction for her accusation, "If it weren’t for what you gave her..."

Before Shi Yiqing could finish, Shi Yaoguang simply released Yu Zhenzhen’s hands.

Finally free, Yu Zhenzhen’s first instinct was to scratch her face.

Her hand was nearly touching her skin when she realized she didn’t feel itchy anymore.

Shi Yiqing was closest to her and immediately noticed that the wounds on Yu Zhenzhen’s face seemed to have healed somewhat.

"Your wound... seems to have healed."

When Yu Zhenzhen heard this, she reached to touch it...

It really did seem to have healed somewhat.

Shi Yaoguang spoke at the right moment, "As I said, for the secondary injuries incurred in proving my innocence, I solved them for you. No need to thank me."
