Forced to Date a Big Shot - Chapter 528
Chapter 528: What Goes Around Comes Around
She stood outside the club and took a deep breath before pushing the door open.
It was not as empty as she had expected.
All the members of the club were there. From Wu Tu, Yu Da, and Fang Fang to the rest, they looked at her as if they were waiting for her arrival.
Fang Fang’s body had recovered and she was still standing in the corner of the crowd, her presence very low.
After Xue Xi entered, everyone in the club looked at her. Yu Da said, “President.”
“Hello, President,” everyone else shouted.
At this moment, Xue Xi felt that these people were really calling her “President.” They were much more serious than before.
However, this did not make her happy. She only felt uneasy and confused.
Xue Xi did not answer. Instead, she looked at Wu Tu and pointed at the TTXD mark in the room. “The real meaning of these four letters is to enforce justice on behalf of heaven, right?”
Wu Tu was silent for a moment before finally nodding. “Yes.”
Xue Xi narrowed her eyes. “You didn’t tell me at the start because you were afraid that I wouldn’t join?”
Wu Tu had nothing to deny, so he continued nodding.
Yu Da said, “In the past, we didn’t dare to say it. Now, Justice on Heaven’s Behalf Club will add another member! Applause!”
Everyone applauded.
Water even laughed. “President, so you’re connected to the police! No wonder Wu Tu insisted on making you the president. With someone like you here, we won’t have to be afraid in the future! We won’t have to hide from them like mice hiding from cats! Hahaha!”
Bottle and Flight also smiled.
Fang Fang stared at Xue Xi. The usually quiet person actually nodded to express her approval.
The moment Xue Xi saved her, she’d acknowledged this president.
The room was lively and peaceful.
Only Wu Tu shrunk his neck in fear and didn’t dare to say a word.
Looking at this group of people whose faces were brimming with joy and the relaxation and vigilance of having one more person on their side, Xue Xi clenched her fists and asked word by word, “Liu Zhao, did you kill her?”
Her words silenced the room.
All the laughter and applause fell.
Everyone looked at her.
After some time, Yu Da coughed and said, “She deserved to die. Sister Xi, did you know? She refused to help and drove her classmate, Liu Jia, crazy. In the end, she made Liu Jia jump off a building and die. Do you know why she did that? As long as it involves a person, things shouldn’t end like that! We asked her, and she said that it was because Liu Jia was better than her and attracted more attention than her. Without Liu Jia, she was number one!
“Just because of this ridiculous reason, she left Liu Jia in the lurch. That day, Liu Jia’s mother didn’t see Liu Jia and asked her, ‘Where’s Jia Jia?’ Liu Zhao was afraid that Liu Jia’s mother would look for her on the way to school, so she even lied and said that Liu Jia would come back after finishing her homework. What right does such a vicious person have to enter Huaxia University after Liu Jia’s death and become the pride of their village?
“Why wasn’t such a vicious person punished? She deserved to die!”
The others nodded.
Fang Fang also raised her head, her eyes flashing with hatred. “That’s right. Those who deliberately leave others in the lurch should die!”
Xue Xi widened her eyes.
In the eyes of these people, she did not see correct values. What she saw was the madness of these people upholding so-called “justice.”
She took a step back.
This action made Water speak. “President, didn’t you ask us to beat someone up today? Xu Xinyao bumped into Qin Shuang on purpose. Without evidence, we can’t call the police. We could only use violence to curb violence and injured her two knees. We could tell her that the cycle of karma will stop her from bullying others! Our club is punishing evil and advocating good. We are upholding justice!”
Xue Xi shook her head. “This is not the same as the reason you killed Liu Zhao!”
Yu Da raised his voice. “A life for a life! Although she didn’t do anything to Liu Jia, she was the one who’d forced her to die. Sister Xi, did you know? Liu Jia’s mother went crazy after Liu Jia died. Her entire family was raised on her father’s salary alone. This was originally a happy family of three. Liu Jia was a smart and beautiful girl who might have been admitted to Huaxia University!! But the law didn’t sentence Liu Zhao to death. Was Liu Zhao supposed to go on living like that? Did she restrain herself and repent in university? No!! If we hadn’t done anything to such a person, who else would have upheld justice?!”
However, Xue Xi’s eyes were firm. She was not moved by their words. “You are not the police. If you feel that there is a loophole in the law, you can work hard to climb up and repair it. As long as you are in society, there will always be such things happening. However, this is not a reason for you to set up a private court.
“As for Liu Zhao, even if the heavens did her ill, she could still have lived, but the evil she’d brought upon herself could not have been avoided. Sooner or later, she would have received retribution.”
Yu Da shouted, “Where was her retribution? I didn’t see it at all!”
Xue Xi lowered her eyes. “Justice is justice, and retribution is not satisfying. The net of justice is long, but it does not miss.”
Wu Tu hurriedly said, “President, we never killed anyone before. Liu Zhao’s matter was…”
“Enough!”
Yu Da was angry and interrupted Wu Tu.
He stared at Xue Xi and said, “This is what happened. If you think we’re wrong, go and call the police! Aren’t you very familiar with that Jing Fei? Okay, go! You have the list of club members. You can identify us. Go!”
Tears welled up in his eyes as he said, “You’re morally upright and above everyone else. We’re all naughty and stubborn. Is that enough? Call the police if you dare!”
As he spoke, Fang Fang walked to Xue Xi’s side. The girl looked small and thin. She grabbed Xue Xi’s sleeve and shook it as she said, “President, we were wrong. We were wrong this time. In the future, we promise not to kill anyone. Can we leave it at that?”
Xue Xi stared at her and slowly said, “It’s not that you’re wrong, but the existence of Justice on Heaven’s Behalf is a mistake.”
Wu Tu was stunned. “President, what… what do you mean?”
Xue Xi lowered her head and slowly said, “Our paths are different. We can’t work together. I don’t want to be the president anymore.”
She tugged at Fang Fang’s hand and pulled her sleeve back forcefully. Then, she turned and walked out.
“President!”
Someone called out to her.
Xue Xi paused.
Fang Fang said, “If you stay, we’ll listen to you and never kill anyone again. Is that okay?”
Xue Xi lowered her eyes and continued walking forward.
“President,” Wu Tu called out to her.
Xue Xi turned around.
Wu Tu said, “Will you report us?”
Would she?
Xue Xi’s eyes revealed a hint of confusion and hesitation.
