Shi Man spread her hands innocently and said, “I’m sorry, Teacher. The situation just now was too dangerous. The two men wanted to bully me. 1 really couldn’t hear anything. My mind was blank. I only knew that 1 had to run out of the classroom quickly and not be caught by them.”
She said it innocently and pitifully. Xie Jie’s expression changed and she really believed her.
After all, the two boys were brawny and heavy. Shi Man was thin and small, so she was clearly not their match. Moreover, he had used all his strength in that punch just now. Xie Jie quickly reacted. This matter was probably not as simple as the class monitor had said.
She lowered her hand. The pain in her face seemed to have been diluted by curiosity. She looked coldly at Tong Su and said, “You said she stole something. What did she steal?”
Tong Su did not expect Shi Man to be so good at quibbling. She stomped her feet in anger and pointed at the pile of things Bai Xue was carrying. “When the new students want to collect things, the dean will inform me first and let me bring the students to collect them. However, they just brought back so many things from the teacher’s office. I actually didn’t know anything. They must have taken them without permission!”
Xie Jie frowned and sized Shi Man up suspiciously.
In the military academy, stealing was a huge sin. It was far worse than fighting.
However, she still inexplicably wanted to believe this innocent transfer student and hear Shi Man explain.
Xie Jie coughed lightly and turned to Shi Man calmly. “Do you have anything to say?”
“Yes.” Shi Man nodded slightly and said in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing, “I didn’t steal it. Teacher, you can verify this with the dean. We did receive the dean’s notice before going to the office to collect the supplies distributed to every student.”
Xie Jie followed Shi Man’s gaze and glanced in the direction of Tong Su.
She had been teaching in the school for many years and knew what the school would give the new students. With just a casual look, she knew that they did not take much. Her expression instantly turned cold. “You actually attacked your new classmates for such a small matter! I think you don’t care about the school rules at all!”
Tong Su hurriedly lowered her head and admitted her mistake. She insisted that it was because she did not know that such a thing happened.
Bai Xue glared at Tong Su’s back angrily. For a moment, she did not notice that someone was quietly approaching.
However, Su Tang’s eyes were fixed on the thing in Bai Xue’s hand, afraid that someone would take the opportunity to tamper with it and make their excuse of stealing true. At this moment, she naturally did not let go of Du Yan’s little cheap shot.
She quickly rushed over from the last row. Before Du Yan could stuff the thing in her hand into the pile of Bai Xue’s, she grabbed Du Yan’s hand and gritted her teeth. “What are you holding in your hand? You actually want to put it in our things?”
Tong Su’s face turned pale.
She turned around stiffly and saw Du Yan’s arm held tightly by Su Tang. Perhaps because Su Tang’s grip was too strong, Du Yan could not clench her fists for a moment and completely exposed what she was hiding in her hand.
Xie Jie saw what it was and exclaimed in disbelief. She hurriedly pushed away the classmates in front of her and walked over. She snatched the bracelet from Du Yan’s hand and questioned coldly, “Where did you get this?”
Wasn’t this the bracelet that she couldn’t find yesterday?! Why was it in the hands of the students of Class S?!
Du Yan felt that something was wrong when she saw Xie Jie’s reaction.
Tong Su had secretly stuffed the bracelet to her last night. At that time, Tong Su did not tell her the origin of the bracelet. She only told her that she had to wait for her signal and keep this to teach Shi Man and the others a lesson. Looking at the situation in front of her, what else did Du Yan not understand? That bracelet was clearly a treasure that Xie Jie cherished!
Tong Su actually stole Xie Jie’s bracelet! Didn’t that mean she had a death wish?
She tried her best to signal Tong Su with her eyes, wanting to ask the latter to save her.
But now that Tong Su could not even take care of herself, she felt uneasy. How could she have the mood to save her?
Seeing that Tong Su had her head lowered and did not dare to look at her, Du Yan instantly understood something. A fierce glint flashed across her eyes, and she simply said, “Teacher Xie, I just found this thing from Bai Xue’s pile. I took it out from the middle compartment when Bai Xue was not paying attention just now. I didn’t expect Student Su Tang to take the opportunity to frame me!” “Nonsense! You clearly didn’t have time to touch our things just now!” At this moment, Bai Xue realized that her negligence just now had almost let someone take advantage of her. Now that she was wronged, her eyes immediately turned red.
But this was the only way Du Yan could protect herself!
She insisted that she had obtained this bracelet from Bai Xue just now. No matter how Xie Jie interrogated her, she did not reveal anything.
Xie Jie tightened her grip on the bracelet in her hand. That was the engagement token her husband had given her when she got married.. It was very important to her, but she did not expect it to become a tool for others to use her!
