Waving the testimony in his hands, Xia Jinyuan tightened his mouth. With a sharp look on his face, he said in a deep voice, “I need a copy of this testimony. Do not inform the local police station about the lost pistol for the time being. Wait for my news.”
In his testimony, Liao Youde mentioned that he had his pistol with him when he looked for Doctor Zhou at the public health center, but he accidentally lost it on his way to the Chunyang Grand Hotel.
An important note was that when An Jiaxin was running over to them, she b.u.mped against him.
At that night, it was Ye Jian who a.s.sumed all kinds of roles by imitating their voices, meaning that it was Ye Jian who knocked into him.
It seemed that he had to go back to find the girl.
The Munic.i.p.al Police Station approved Xia Jinyuan’s request, but he must give them a response as soon as possible and within 24 hours.
After all, it was a big deal that a pistol loaded with 15 bullets went missing.
After coming out of the police station, Xia Jinyuan drove the army jeep, heading back to Fujun Town.
While waiting for the green light at a crossroad, he looked across the street inadvertently. A subtle smile appeared on his handsome face that had always been covered by an icy look. He then turned around and parked the jeep alongside the curb across the street.
He got off the jeep. Within ten minutes, he walked out of the building, carrying a bag. Then, he continued driving to Fujun Town.
At this moment, Ye Jian was standing in the teacher’s office. With a bit of a icy look in her eyes, she looked at the head teacher of her cla.s.s indifferently. As her teacher finished talking her nonsense, she said with a sarcastic smile, “Rest a.s.sured, Mrs. Ke, young as I may be, I know that I should do what I am capable of.”
“Since I have registered for those exams, it means I am confident of pa.s.sing them. You are my teacher, shouldn’t you have more confidence in your student?”
Mrs. Ke scoffed at Ye Jian as she handed in her registration form of the compet.i.tion of the Provincial Experimental No.1 Middle School.
“Physics, Chemistry, Math, and English. Do you think you are a genius? You are registering for all of them?!” said Mrs. Ke contemptuously. She was furious at Ye Jian’s composure. “You are already a disgrace in our school! Do not let other schools know that you are a shame!”
To Mrs. Ke, Ye Jian was like a fish bone stuck in her throat. She could neither swallow it nor spit it out! It was so uncomfortable to face this obstacle every day!
“Even if I embarra.s.s myself, it’s my business. What does it have anything to do with you?” said Ye Jian, smiling and gazing at her teacher. The bright and optimistic look on her face made her seem more poised than her teacher. Her neither haughty nor humble att.i.tude also won her the affections from the teachers of other cla.s.ses.
Ye Jian was hoping that she could be the Top Three in one of the subjects. Now that Mrs. Ke was deliberately making things difficult for her, Ye Jian made up her mind that she would excel in every single exam!
She started to like slapping others in the face.
Tossing her registration form into a drawer, Mrs. Ke said scornfully with a straight face, “You never listen to your teachers’ advice. If you are conceited enough to embarra.s.s yourself among other schools, what else can I say?”
Laughing, other teachers responded one by one. “Mrs. Ke, I would be more than grateful if I had such an audacious student in my cla.s.s! You must be very happy in your mind.”
“That’s right. It’s a good thing for students to have ambition. And as teachers, we must support them. If she does well in the exams, isn’t she bringing honor to you and our school as well?”
The speeches of her colleagues made Mrs. Ke swallow her bitterness in silence. She would have been elated if any other student was so ambitious!
However, that student must not be Ye Jian!
What Mrs. Ke didn’t know was that the more obstacles Ye Jian encountered, the stronger she would become. If anyone tried to give her a hard time, she would toughen herself.
