Su Jiaying shook her head. “Nope. I was watching everyone sign the safety notice.”
Tang Xiaoxiao turned to look at Su Jiaying. “While we were all in bed last night, you sat below the entire time. Why don’t you think again?”
Su Jiaying already felt guilty so she raised her voice subconsciously. “I really didn’t notice anything. Also, the script went missing from Gu Mang’s hands. What do all of you mean right now? Do you think that I should be responsible for it?”
Zheng Miao and Tang Xiaoxiao realized that they had not spoken nicely and they immediately answered, “Jiaying, that’s not what we meant. We were just asking.”
“I said that I did not notice anything.” Su Jiaying’s tone was not so nice now. “I am not obliged to look after Gu Mang’s things.”
Zheng Miao and Tang Xiaoxiao apologized to her. “Sorry, Jiaying.”
Su Jiaying took a deep breath. “Nevermind.”
“Sister Mang, what now? Are you really going to just let that person off?” Qin Yaozhi asked indignantly.
Gu Mang had been holding her phone the entire time as if she were waiting for some news.
Su Jiaying turned to Gu Mang. “Honestly, the script is such an important thing and you should have kept it well. Fortunately, nothing bad happened this time but in the future, we shouldn’t get you to be the representative for such major events anymore.”
“What the heck?” Qin Yaozhi blew up. “Blacklist? This isn’t even Sister Mang’s fault!”
“That’s the way it is at every school. If something goes wrong at a major event, they are blacklisted.” At this point, Su Jiaying no longer looked as unhappy as before.
When the instructor came to look for her just now, it was to tell her that the school had written a notice not to get Gu Mang to be the representative for future speech events.
If that wasn’t blacklisting, then what was it?
Meng Jinyang looked at Gu Mang. She was silent. Meng Jinyang felt uneasy. “So does that mean that if we find the person who swapped the script, the school will no longer be able to blacklist Gu Mang?”
That was true. But things were easier said than done. They did not even have a single clue. How could they find her?
Everyone went silent. They were all guessing who had framed Gu Mang. Tang Xiaoxiao and Zheng Miao named a few people. Just then, Gu Mang’s phone vibrated and she looked down at the messages.
Su Jiaying said with a strong sense of righteousness. “There’s no point in standing around here and guessing. Even if you suspect that it is someone in our class, you also need evidence. What do any of you have?”
Her speech made everyone speechless.
Su Jiaying was very sure that they could not show any evidence because the only evidence was in school. There were many people in the dormitories and things were chaotic. She couldn’t control them all. Now, everyone was in the training base so they wouldn’t even think about school.
Gu Mang crossed her arms and glanced at Su Jiaying. There was a nonchalant smirk on her face. “We need evidence? Sure.”
Su Jiaying was stunned when she heard that.
No one expected Gu Mang to say that. They were startled and they asked, “Gu Mang, do you really have evidence?”
Gu Mang was about to speak when the open door of the dormitory was knocked on twice. Everyone turned to look at the door. The instructor who had just left suddenly returned.
The military instructor in charge of their class was also standing beside her.
The instructor, who was always warm, looked rather stern suddenly. “Gu Mang, Su Jiaying, come out for a while.”
Qin Yaozhi and the others watched Gu Mang and Su Jiaying. They did not know what was going on.
The two girls did not say anything. They walked towards the door.
The instructor and military instructor turned around and took a few steps out. They stood in the corridor, waiting for them. Gu Mang walked out of the dormitory. There were several people standing in the corridor. Lu Chengzhou, Qin Fang, Principal Ren, Principal Fu, and Yang Tianming were there as well.
Passing students stared curiously. So many great leaders suddenly appeared in their dormitory building. What happened?
Lu Chengzhou leaned against the wall lazily with a military dagger in hand. He played with it casually. The blade was pitch black and it had a cold glow.
Qin Fang stood to the side and squinted. His eyes were fixated on Su Jiaying, who came out last. He stifled a laugh.
Gu Mang wasn’t surprised to see Lu Chengzhou and Qin Fang here but when she saw Yu Mufeng, she raised her exquisite brows.
The Student Union knew Yu Mufeng. He was the President of the Student Union. He was in Year 4.
Shouldn’t he be back at Capital University? Why was he here?
A chill ran down Su Jiaying’s back when she noticed Yu Mufeng and she did not dare to think too deeply about the reason for his presence. She suddenly saw from the corner of her eye that Yu Mufeng was holding onto a piece of paper. The tense nerves in her brain snapped.
