Xu Yinuo saw that An Hao was so certain, and she realized in her heart that An Hao must have found out she was the one who had locked her in the bathroom last night.
Whispers were already spreading among the students.
"And here I thought it was haunted! Turns out it wasn’t!"
"Locking someone in the anatomy building all night? That is just too terrifying, isn’t it? What if someone with a faint heart got scared into a mental breakdown?"
"Yeah, whoever did this has got to have a really dark heart, so malicious!"
"I second that opinion!"
It was then that Yan Ye finally understood what had happened—An Hao had been locked in the anatomy building all night.
"An Hao, what exactly happened? Who locked you in the anatomy building?"
An Hao pointed straight at Xu Yinuo: "Her! It was her who wedged the door shut with two pencils while I was still inside the bathroom, trapping me there. By the time I got out, the doors to the anatomy building were already locked."
The caretaker of the anatomy building had been puzzled just now, but upon hearing An Hao’s words, he suddenly remembered last night: "Right, last night when I was about to lock up, I even asked this girl here, and she said there was no one left in the classroom. That’s why I locked the door."
"Sir, I didn’t lie! There really was nobody left in the classroom!" Xu Yinuo desperately pleaded.
"Yes, there was nobody in the classroom! The person was in the bathroom!" An Hao glared at her, saying each word distinctly, "The girl in the bathroom last night was you! You’re the one who locked me in there!"
"An Hao, don’t falsely accuse people! I know you have a problem with me regularly, but this is no laughing matter," Xu Yinuo vehemently denied any wrongdoing.
"You were the last one to leave the anatomy building aside from An Hao! And last night, you even lied to us, saying An Hao had gone home!" Lei Linxuan couldn’t stand it anymore; for the first time, she actively stepped forward to defend An Hao.
"Even so, that doesn’t prove it was me who did it!"
"You..." Lei Linxuan, with her temperament, was also infuriated by Xu Yinuo this time, "I believe An Hao’s judgment. We were going to come out and look for An Hao last night, and it was you who lied and stopped us."
"I didn’t! You can’t frame me!" Xu Yinuo cried, tears streaming down unstoppably.
"Xu Yinuo, tell me the truth now—are the words you are saying really true?" Yan Ye asked Xu Yinuo.
"They are true! Teacher, I didn’t lie! Please, believe me! Please!"
Everyone was confused by this scene, and just when everyone was unclear about the situation, An Hao sneered and pulled something from her pocket, slamming it onto Xu Yinuo’s face: "Take a look for yourself!"
The previously self-deluding Xu Yinuo was suddenly staggered upon seeing the thing that An Hao had thrown on her face!
It was a small piece of fabric.
"Look at her clothes!" Lei Linxuan pointed at Xu Yinuo’s back and shouted, "The back of her clothes has been scratched."
"Still want to deny it? Xu Yinuo, I despise you!" An Hao dropped the words and turned to leave.
Clutching the torn piece of fabric in her hand, Xu Yinuo’s mind suddenly flashed back to last night’s events. She had been too frantic while escaping; maybe the motion was too rough, and then a piece got torn off the back of her clothes.
She had been too nervous and panicky yesterday to even notice it!
Indeed, man proposes, but God disposes.
She plotted against An Hao! And fate plotted against her!
