Chapter 84: Scared To Death
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Mang stared at the photo depicting a girl who was wearing a mask and a hat. She was wrapped up pretty tightly. Gu Mang raised an eyebrow and let loose her queer, headstrong aura.
She caught sight of a mole at the tail end of the girl’s eyebrow. She squinted and suddenly, a cool gleam flashed in her eyes.
Ruan Qingqing.
…
The students hadn’t been released yet. The form teachers were all containing the situation in each cla.s.sroom. In contrast to how restless Cla.s.s Twenty was, Cla.s.s One was as quiet as usual.
Luo Songhua stood at the cla.s.sroom’s door. She was still dwelling on what had happened with Meng Jinyang earlier. She admired Meng Jinyang’s strength but it was a pity that she couldn’t do away with the scourge that was Gu Mang. If it weren’t for her, Meng Jinyang would have been her student!
Just then, the Level Head suddenly came over.
Luo Songhua had a stern expression on her face. “Sir.”
The Level Head nodded and said solemnly, “Inform your student, Ruan Qingqing, to come and meet me.”
“Ruan Qingqing?” Luo Songhua was stunned. “Is something the matter?”
The Level Head wasn’t sure of why she was being called but he could hazard a guess. “Don’t ask too many questions.”
Luo Songhua frowned as thoughts ran through her head. She went to the cla.s.sroom. “Ruan Qingqing, come outside for a while.”
Ruan Qingqing lowered her head, uneasiness rising in her mind.
More than half an hour had pa.s.sed since the uproar but there had been no further news. The longer they waited, the more worried she felt.
Suddenly, hearing her form teacher call her name, she bounced up from the seat in shock and trepidation.
She stared at Luo Songhua in a daze and her voice was tense as she said, “Teacher, what’s wrong?”
Luo Songhua said nothing as she turned and walked outside the cla.s.sroom.
Ruan Qingqing s.h.i.+vered nervously and got out of her seat.
At the cla.s.sroom door, Luo Songhua said, “Follow the Level Head. He needs you for something.”
Ruan Qingqing pursed her lips together, fear flickering in her eyes. “Okay.”
The Level Head took Ruan Qingqing out of the teaching block. After a right turn, they entered the back door of the multipurpose building.
In an instant, a string went taut inside her and cold sweat trickled down her spine. Her eyelashes trembled uncontrollably and her legs were made of jelly. She felt like running away.
Clenching her fist, she forced herself to calm down.
Don’t be afraid. Gu Mang was the one who should be punished. How could her beating people be right? Even if they found out that she was the one who did it, how could they let Gu Mang off? Besides, she did it so stealthily, how could anyone find out?
Holding onto this line of thought, Ruan Qingqing straightened her back and lifted her chin up in a show of false confidence.
At the door of the meeting room, the Level Head opened the door and said, “Go in.”
Ruan Qingqing was taken aback for a moment and wanted to ask why she was the only one who was going in, but she didn’t dare to.
Pursing her lips together, she quietly walked into the meeting room. The door closed behind her and she felt as if a string inside of her had been drawn taut.
There were several men sitting in the meeting room, and apart from the princ.i.p.al, whom she couldn’t get a close look at, she didn’t know the rest.
Gu Mang was sitting with a leisurely position. Her legs were crossed, her hand propping up her chin with a faint and ambiguous smile on her face.
Her eyes were chilling, like a sharp sword being held at her throat. The raised corner of her eyes were cold and terrifying.
Ruan Qingqing looked down. Strangely, she was afraid to look straight at her.
The others looked down and played with their cell phones.
The meeting room was so quiet that it made her feel very uneasy.
Princ.i.p.al Fu said, “Are you Ruan Qingqing?”
The girl nodded.
“Sit down.” Princ.i.p.al Fu pointed to the seat opposite him.
Ruan Qingqing sat down with trepidation.
Princ.i.p.al Fu pushed a piece of paper in front of him to Ruan Qingqing. “Have a look and see if the person in the photo is you.”
