Chapter 550: Indebted
Not only did her father take over her mother’s inheritance, he even abandoned Nuannuan when she was only three years old for Qianqian’s sake and sold her to a place like that.
The corpses of thousands of children appeared before Zhong Nuannuan’s eyes again.
If her special abilities had not awakened at the most critical moment and allowed her to see the weakness of the other party’s body—at the same time, allowing her to move faster than ordinary people—she would have become one of the thousands of corpses.
As she watched, the murderous intent in Zhong Nuannuan’s eyes started to seep out in small amounts.
“Why… Why are you looking at me? You slandered me in front of all the netizens in the country, and you’re trying to appear righteous?”
Zhong Qianqian took two more steps back.
The spine-chilling aura that emanated from Zhong Nunanuan was getting more and more overpowering.
“Zhong Qianqian, do you think Chi Yang is the only thing that came between you and me? You don’t think you’re indebted to me at all?”
Looking at Zhong Nuannuan’s clear and sharp gaze, Zhong Qianqian panicked even more.
“What… What do you mean?”
The corners of Zhong Nuannuan’s lips curled into a somewhat bewitching smile. This sudden smile took the entire cla.s.s by storm. Everyone felt that there was something different about Zhong Nuannuan, but they could not pinpoint the exact difference.
“You know very well what I mean.”
Zhong Nuannuan was talking about how Jiang Shuwan killed her mother 18 years ago and abandoned her 14 years ago. However, Zhong Qianqian thought that Zhong Nuannuan was talking about her becoming the scapegoat for Zhong Qianqian in Zhou Jinhui’s murder.
Zhong Qianqian consoled herself that this matter had already pa.s.sed and Zhong Nuannuan had no evidence. So, was there to be afraid of?
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t owe you anything. Zhong Nuannuan, don’t beat around the bush. If you don’t remove the comment and apologize to me publicly, would you like to bet that I can get the police to arrest you?”
“The police will be here soon. If you want to make a report, you can do it in person.”
“Fine, that’s what you said. Don’t regret it.”
After saying that, Zhong Qianqian did not want to argue with Zhong Nuannuan anymore. She felt that standing in front of Zhong Nuannuan was too much pressure.
Zhong Qianqian was currently studying in Ye Mengxi’s cla.s.s. Thus, she returned to her own cla.s.sroom for the self-study session.
Before the first period started, the police arrived.
It was the two policemen who had taken Zhong Nuannuan away yesterday—a man and a woman.
Following the two police officers were the princ.i.p.al and teacher-in-charge, Teacher Liu.
This ordeal turned out to be depressing to the princ.i.p.al and the cla.s.s teacher.
It was such a good school. Yet, Zhong Nuan and Zhong Qianqian made everything feel like they were in a crime thriller set. One moment, the police came; the next, the military officers came. It had only been a short while, but there were already three cases of first-degree murder. What a mess.
After what had happened the day before, the two police officers were well aware of Zhong Nuannuan’s background. Therefore, they arrived today in a sincerely amicable mood.
They explained that the reason they took Zhong Nuannuan away yesterday was that Ou Mingxi had made a false accusation. They also clarified that Zhong Nuannuan was not the mastermind of the rape. On the contrary, she was also a victim. They then told everyone that the evidence was conclusive and that Ou Mingxi had been arrested. At the same time, they apologized to Zhong Nuannuan for their rash actions yesterday and hoped that she would forgive them.
Although Zhong Nuannuan could not stand the fact that these two police officers had come to the school to put her in her place so that they could curry favor with Ou Chenghe, such things were common in this society. Therefore, as long as they realized their mistakes and eliminated the aftereffects of their actions, Zhong Nuannuan did not intend to pursue the matter.
