Chapter 185: 179 He Xun was handed the invitation directly in front of his eyes [3 updates]
The girl was reading ancient poetry, silently reciting “The Ballad of the Pipa Player.” There was one section that she could never memorize.
Suddenly her shoulder was seized, and beyond the pain, she was also startled.
She let out a scream, clutched her schoolbag tightly, and instinctively tried to run away.
But her shoulder was firmly held in place; no matter how hard she pushed with her feet, she couldn’t move.
The girl looked back fearfully to see a girl much taller than herself, which scared her even more.
Her voice trembled, as faint as a mosquito’s: “Who are you? What do you want to do?”
“Hand it over,” Ying Zijin repeated, her eyes cold, “Wen Tinglan’s admission ticket.”
Upon hearing those last few words, the girl’s expression changed dramatically, and she shrank back.
She suppressed the panic in her heart and tried to remain calm, her voice gradually growing louder: “What are you talking about? I don’t know any Wen Tinglan, so how could I have his admission ticket?”
“Let me go! Today is my college entrance examination, if you disturb me, you’ll be the sinner!”
By the end, the girl’s voice grew louder and more assertive.
It was eight o’clock, and the area outside the examination venue was packed with parents accompanying their children to the exams.
Seeing this, many of them felt strongly sympathetic and became angry.
“Is this also an examinee? Why is she forcibly holding someone else? The exam is about to start; what if she delays someone else’s test?”
“If time is delayed, their mindset is also disturbed, how can she do this?”
Observing the bystanders speaking up for her, the girl became smug.
“See that? Let go of me!” she raised her chin and shouted in a direction, her voice tinged with weeping, “Mom, look at her, she’s blocking me, she won’t let me take the exam!”
“What are you doing?” A woman who hurried over from a rest pavilion nearby, furious to the extreme, shouted, “Let go of my daughter!”
“Today is her college entrance examination; any loss she suffers, can you afford it?!”
“I don’t want to use force on a girl,” Ying Zijin said, increasing her grip, “This is your last chance, hand it over, and nothing will happen.”
As more people gathered around, the girl wasn’t afraid at all: “I told you, I didn’t take anyone else’s admission ticket, you’re just trying to disrupt my college entrance examination!”
She turned to the woman beside her: “Mom, the police uncle is outside maintaining order, if she disturbs the order of the examination venue, she’ll be arrested!”
The college entrance examination was regarded very seriously, and the order maintainers were alerted, all rushing over.
“Classmate, please release her immediately,” a police officer said sternly, “otherwise, you will be expelled from the premises for disrupting the order of the college entrance examination venue.”
Ying Zijin looked up: “This was your choice.”
The girl felt a sudden panic inside, but she wasn’t scared at all and spoke with haughty sarcasm: “My choice, I think you’re —”
The clear stationery bag she was tightly guarding was yanked down in one motion.
Forces being mutual, the girl couldn’t control her body and staggered backward.
The woman caught her just in time, preventing her from falling.
Seeing her pens scattering everywhere, she was shocked and furious: “You’ve gone too far! Officer, this malicious person must be taken away, at such a young age and already so malevolent, what will become of her when she’s older?”
Wen Fengmian and Wen Tinglan came from the other side, taken aback upon seeing the scene.
Fu Yunshen stepped forward, blocking in front of Ying Zijin, a hint of a smirk on his face: “How is it excessive?”
Ying Zijin bent down, picking up the stationery bag.
The girl’s expression changed again, but before she could stop her, Ying Zijin had already taken out her admission ticket from the stationery bag.
A college entrance examination ticket is just a piece of paper, but to prevent it from getting damaged, many schools put it inside a clear plastic sleeve.
The girl’s heart lurched; she clutched at the woman’s clothes, crying out: “Mom! She must be doing this on purpose, she’s going to rip up my admission ticket.”
This claim made the officers responsible for maintaining order change their expressions.
The previously speaking officer could only wave his hand: “Take her out of the testing area first.”
And there were people taking pictures around them.
But completely against the girl’s expectations, Ying Zijin remained calm, even at this point. She tore open the clear plastic sleeve and pulled out the admission ticket.
Not just one, but two.
Ying Zijin placed one ticket back into the stationery bag and raised the other in her hand: “You didn’t take it, so why was my brother’s admission ticket found with you?”
