81 Handling
“What did you say?” Yi Zheng took a step closer with a cold expression.
The surrounding students subconsciously retreated a distance and looked at the confrontation between the two of them in a daze.
Shi Man was a new student at Cassel Academy. Although many people were familiar with her name, very few people had actually seen her, let alone the legendary classic scene of a woman chasing after a man.
They did not expect to see such an exciting scene at the end of this painful practical training. The surrounding people immediately did not dare to breathe loudly and quietly acted as background.
Shi Man narrowed her eyes and stared at his approaching footsteps. Suddenly, she frowned and said in disgust, “I’ve already explained many times. Are you deaf? If you think I stole it, call the police.”
Yi Zheng raised his eyebrows and laughed in anger.
Where did this woman get the guts to act like a scoundrel in front of him? Did she think that she could muddle through just because she was a scoundrel?
He did not think that the current Shi Man would steal a useless bracelet, but he inexplicably wanted to make things difficult for her. He wanted to see if she would have the same stupid expression as before when facing him now.
“If you can’t prove yourself, then this time…”
Before Yi Zheng could finish, Su Tang, who had been hiding behind Shi Man, suddenly raised her face and stood up. She said firmly, “I picked it up.”
As soon as she said this, the gazes that were looking back and forth between the two of them landed on her.
Fang Han gritted her teeth and stared at Su Tang’s back. She did not expect her to choose to betray her at this time. “Where did you pick it up?”
“I picked it up from under the dormitory building.” Su Tang insisted that this thing had fallen from her body. She looked up at Song Zhi and said apologetically, “I’m sorry. Whether you believe me or not, this matter really has nothing to do with Shi Man.”
Her disdainful gaze turned into a sharp blade that pierced into her heart with the whispers of the surrounding people.
She bit her lower lip to stop herself from crying easily. When she gave up on stuffing the bracelet into Shi Man’s pocket yesterday, she had already thought of the consequences. The reason why she only stood up to clarify now was that she wanted to wait for Yi Zheng to appear and not let the two of them have a misunderstanding because of her.
Fang Han and Shi Jing’s goal was nothing more than to make a fuss about Shi Man chasing Yi Zheng in the past. She just had to admit it. No matter what the consequences were, she was willing to bear them.
She was already very satisfied to be able to come to Cassel Academy to study. Even if she could not continue in the future, she had nothing to regret, having gotten to know Shi Man at the academy.
Perhaps everything was predestined.
As Su Tang lowered her head, tears welled up in her eyes. The tip of her nose was red, but she refused to cry. It was not until her wrist was grabbed by someone and a force pulled her away from the spot that she looked up in shock. The tears that she was about to not be able to hold back immediately poured out when they met those obviously mocking eyes.
“I thought you could hold it in for a long time.” Shi Man pulled Su Tang behind her and blocked her from the vision of the rest of the people. There was an evil smile on her lips. “Tell me who made you cry yesterday. I’ll help you deal with all the threats.”
“You… you know?” Su Tang rubbed her eyes in disbelief and grabbed Shi Man’s arm uneasily.
“Hey? What are you doing? Do you think just anyone can stand up and take the blame?” Song Zhi frowned in confusion and pouted as she stood beside Yi Zheng coquettishly. “Cousin, let’s not waste time with them. We might as well arrest them.”
Yi Zheng glanced at her coldly and shifted his gaze to Shi Man. He asked expressionlessly, “Deal with it?”
Fang Han looked at Shi Jing in panic, but the latter had long disappeared from the crowd. It was obvious that Shi Jing had seen that the situation was not right and abandoned her to escape alone.
She hurriedly looked at Su Tang again, afraid that she would really expose her. She nervously raised her right hand which was holding the phone tightly, wondering if she should spread the photos before Su Tang said her name.
“Found it.”
Shi Man glanced indifferently in someone’s direction and moved slightly. Under everyone’s gaze, she was so fast that she turned into an afterimage. Then, they heard a plop. Fang Han sat on the ground in fear. Her right hand looked like it was still holding something, but her phone was already in Shi Man’s hand.
No one present, including the instructor, saw Shi Man’s movements clearly. Only Yi Zheng kept staring at her crisp movement technique.
The girl was no longer wearing clothes in bad taste. She was now draped in a heroic-looking camouflage uniform. She made people fear her just by standing in the crowd made.
He shifted his gaze indifferently to her face. From a distance, he could still clearly see the undisguised disgust in the girl’s eyes. As if she had found something she had expected, her eyebrows raised slightly, and her lazy watery eyes instantly became sharp with undisguised killing intent.
If Yi Zheng didn’t know Shi Man’s past, he would definitely think that she was a killer with a well-concealed identity.
