But obviously, since he couldn’t lash out at Lu Xingzhe, Li Yiming could only look at Qiao Qingshu with a stern face and then asked, "Tell me, did Gu Zhiqi hit Hu Shiyu?"
"I was reading at the time, I didn’t see it—I only heard Hu Shiyu cursing," Qiao Qingshu spoke indifferently, her gaze slightly lowered, not looking at Li Yiming.
Upon hearing this, Li Yiming felt rage boiling inside him and glared at Qiao Qingshu, his anger spilling out as he bellowed, "How could you not have seen it? With such commotion, you’re saying you didn’t see? Who would believe that?!"
Seeing this, Gu Changchuan immediately stepped forward, placing the two children behind him, "It’s not their fault if the kids didn’t see anything. What are you getting angry at them for, Director Li?"
Gu Chongming, too, couldn’t stand by any longer. With a slight frown, he addressed Li Yiming, "Director Li, mind your language."
Li Yiming, realizing that Lu Xingzhe and Qiao Qingshu were likely to say nothing more, had to think of another approach.
"Didn’t see, you didn’t see, is that it? Check the surveillance footage!" Li Yiming said, and, without waiting for anyone present to respond, turned around to make a call to check the surveillance footage.
As Li Yiming left to make the call, a voice surfaced in Gu Zhiqi’s mind, Chubby Chiu said, "Hehe, Zhizhi, I’ve destroyed the surveillance footage, he won’t be able to retrieve anything."
Chubby Chiu’s tone was full of anticipation for praise.
"Mm, well done." Gu Zhiqi, who had been lost in thought with lowered eyes, came back to her senses and replied half-heartedly.
Hearing the perfunctory tone, Chubby Chiu’s mouth twitched slightly, and then Chubby Chiu asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"It’s just, a bit strange."
"What’s strange?" asked Chubby Chiu, sounding somewhat curious.
"Director Li’s attitude towards Hu Shiyu." Since Li Yiming had repeatedly mentioned Hu Shiyu’s name, Gu Zhiqi, who usually didn’t bother to remember the names of irrelevant people, remembered the name Hu Shiyu.
Chubby Chiu: "Hmm? What attitude?"
"Judging by Father Hu’s manner, he doesn’t seem to be related to Li Yiming, but Li Yiming’s concern for Hu Shiyu seems to be a bit excessive," Gu Zhiqi said casually to Chubby Chiu.
"Oh? Really?" Chubby Chiu hadn’t paid attention to this issue.
"Just now, he called Hu Shiyu ’Shiyu’ several times."
The name ’Shiyu’ rolled off his tongue smoothly, whereas the full title ’classmate Hu Shiyu’ seemed more awkward for him.
Upon hearing that, Chubby Chiu blinked and said, "Should I look into it?"
"Not for now," Gu Zhiqi stopped Chubby Chiu directly. She was merely curious, and didn’t have a penchant for prying into others’ privacy.
No matter whether those involved had good or bad relations with her.
Hearing this, Chubby Chiu also dropped the idea of looking into Li Yiming.
Meanwhile, Li Yiming had been on the phone for quite a while when suddenly, an enraged voice emerged from the office, "What? The classroom surveillance is broken?!"
After exploding in anger, Li Yiming’s chest heaved for several seconds before he continued, "If the classroom’s is broken, then fetch me the footage from the corridor!"
Hearing Li Yiming’s furious outburst, Chubby Chiu’s mouth twitched slightly, "The corridor footage won’t show anything inside the classroom, this guy must be crazy."
Gu Zhiqi heard this but didn’t respond.
Five minutes later, Li Yiming got his hands on the surveillance footage of Class Eight’s corridor.
Naturally, Li Yiming was aware that the corridor’s surveillance wouldn’t show what happened inside the classroom, but he had other plans.
After obtaining the surveillance footage, Li Yiming began to watch.
Starting from the end of lunch break.
Soon, the corridor cleared of all students.
At twelve ten, three figures appeared in the corridor.
