The Anarchic Consort Novel - Chapter 1083
Chapter 1083: The Order Is Still in Effect
The corners of Baili Jiajue’s mouth curled up indulgently.
Was she that happy?
Of course Helian Weiwei was happy. After all, a certain highness had always only said such poisonous words to her and hardly to anyone else. So now that she got a rare chance to see him behave like this to someone else, she was in an excellent mood.
Baili Jiajue looked at the way her thin lips slightly curled up and wanted to reach out and pull her into his embrace just like how he always did in the past.
But just as he raised his fingers, he suddenly remembered something.
A cold glint suddenly flashed through his deep eyes.
That order was still in effect.
Helian Weiwei blinked and thought that the murderous aura emitted from the man’s body was directed at Guo Tingting, so she quickly turned her body sideways to stand in front of him.
It was fine to say mean things to others but killing others was definitely out of the question. Besides, even though this girl wasn’t good at judging men and she wasn’t very smart, it was only normal for a girl her age to behave this way.
“Let’s not stray from the topic.” Helian Weiwei’s voice calmed down again. She glanced at Guo Tingting, whose face was flushed red. “We’re now concerned about the murderer. I don’t care about Mr. Chen’s character. I’m just giving you my analysis.”
Zhao Xiaodong took advantage of this loophole and pushed his glasses up with a sneer. “So you’re accusing me of being the murderer based on your nonsensical analysis? Young lady, you’ve been pretending to be very high and mighty right from the start, analyzing this and that. I admit that you are indeed smarter than us and you get through the escape room puzzles faster than us, but you can’t just accuse someone of being a murderer with just a few words. I can sue you for slander!”
“Mr. Zhao, I would advise you against talking to me about the law.” Helian Weiwei had fought countless cases in America before this, after all. She took a step forward. “Also, I have not been pretending or playing tricks. By saying something like this, I could sue you for slander too. You want something more concrete? Sure, I’ll present something more concrete to you.”
“When the police were questioning all of you, the information they let on through the questions helped you to realize that Dong Sichun’s death wasn’t simple. You’re very smart, but you weren’t able to overturn the case, because the school had already banned the students from talking about this matter. But you liked Dong Sichun, and you liked her to the point where you would do anything for her.”
“Initially, you didn’t intend to kill them, and you just stalked all of them. But as time went by, you discovered many things that you didn’t know before, like how Guo Tingting had seen what happened on the rooftop and didn’t tell the police anything, or how Dong Sichun had been intimate with Zhang Heng before. At that time, you thought that Zhang Heng had forced himself on your pure and innocent goddess, which made Dong Sichun kill herself because she couldn’t take it.”
“You think that every single one of them is a murderer for forcing Dong Sichun to take her own life. And even though you found many loopholes and contradictions in your investigation, you refused to believe that pure and innocent girl wasn’t anything like you imagined. Before coming here, I got someone to investigate your relationship with Dong Sichun. It’s very strange – you’re not working yet, but you were willing to spend so much money on Dong Sichun. She wanted an iPhone, so you helped someone to write a thesis in order to get enough money to buy one, and you were so happy after you gave it to her. Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to pry into your privacy, but you like to post on social media, and I took a quick glance while we were in the escape room.”
Helian Weiwei unlocked her phone and opened a few photos. “These were sent to me by my informant, and one of them is a screengrab from your social media account. Some days before Dong Sichun died, you put a post saying that you gave her a 5S, and even though she didn’t accept your feelings, she didn’t reject your kind intentions either, so you felt that there was still hope for you and even encouraged yourself to work hard.”
“And then here’s a comment from Zhang Heng below this post. He clearly wrote here: Are you stupid? Why do you have to give your hard earned money to a slut? Whenever she wants something, you immediately offer it to her with both hands. You’re seriously just a useless piece of trash who’s short and ugly, so save your effort, because that woman is never going to like you. You’re seriously retarded.”
After Helian Weiwei finished reading the contents of that last comment, she looked up to see Zhao Xiaodong’s twisted and furious expression. “These are very awful words. You made Zhang Heng your first victim not only because you think that he violated Dong Sichun, but the other big reason was that he often said nasty and sarcastic things to you. You really hated this behavior, and you also clearly couldn’t stand how he described your goddess this way. Because of this, you went back and forth on the comments with him, calling him a Casanova who only viewed women as sexual objects.”
“But Mr. Zhao, Zhang Heng wasn’t wrong. You were really very foolish, and more than happy to be as well. Buying things for your goddess is your business, but you also insisted that everyone behave like you and only say good things about your goddess. It doesn’t take a genius to know that if a woman is really of good character, she wouldn’t have accepted this phone from you. If she accepted it, then she should have accepted you as well. But Dong Sichun clearly only wanted the phone, and kicked you aside after taking the phone. You actually thought that this sort of woman was a good woman? It’s little wonder Zhang Heng despised you so much.”
“That’s between me and Zhang Heng!” Zhao Xiaodong started yelling and the veins on his forehead bulged. “What do you know about Sichun?! You’re just using your vile way of thinking to second guess her! Young lady, since you’ve got such a foul mind, I suppose anybody could be the killer to you, right? You think that I’m going to commit murder just because of one post on the internet? You think anyone would believe you if you said so?”
“In order to help you see what sort of woman your precious goddess really is, I’ll give you a chance to understand the situation.” Helian Weiwei turned and saw that Guo Tingting was laughing. “You probably know better, right? After Dong Sichun received the phone from Zhao Xiaodong that day, what did say?”
Guo Tingting already hated Dong Sichun, so now that she had the chance, she was going to say everything that she had wanted to say for a long time. “Of course I know. It wasn’t just that phone. There was once, Dong Sichun wanted a Gucci purse but didn’t have enough money to buy it herself, so she would purposely pretend to casually talk about it to Zhao Xiaodong. Dong Sichun just pretends to be pure and innocent in front of the boys, but she reveals her true colors in front of myself and Jingtian. And we know all about what she really feels about Zhao Xiaodong.”
“She was initially annoyed by how Zhao Xiaodong liked her, and if Zhao Xiaodong and Feiyang weren’t roommates, she wouldn’t even have bothered to talk to him. But later she realized that Zhao Xiaodong was that teeny bit useful after all, so she didn’t display her disgust for him. After all, if she was too nasty to him, it would affect the image that the boys had of her.”
