38: Chapter 36 Sister Rong’s Acting is Passable 38: Chapter 36 Sister Rong’s Acting is Passable Xu Ke was still in shock; she had almost been killed by that bitch Rong Yan moments ago.
At this moment, hearing Rong Yan’s words, the suppressed anger within her burst forth.
With a stern yet delicate voice, she asked, “Rong Yan, did you go to the Police Station?”
This person’s intelligence was worrisome.
It was practically a confession without being beaten.
Her lips curled up, “Are you scared?”
Xu Ke’s face grew even worse, “I, what do I have to be afraid of?
But you shouldn’t break your promise…”
Rong Yan’s demeanor was cold and detached, “Break my promise?
What kind of promise is needed for someone as malicious as you?”
“You…” Xu Ke was both shocked and angry, now utterly convinced that this bitch had gone to the Police Station.
Despair and fear made her malicious.
Since she couldn’t have peace, she would ensure this bitch wouldn’t either.
Just as she reached out to push the bicycle, suddenly the sound of a car horn blared.
Xu Ke looked behind Rong Yan and saw a police car approaching them.
Her pupils shrank violently…
It’s over, she thought; she was done for.
By this time, the police car had already pulled up behind Rong Yan.
The road was too narrow; only one vehicle could pass.
And Rong Yan’s bicycle was blocking the way.
Lin Jun knew he would catch up with this girl; after all, how fast could a bicycle be compared to a four-wheeled vehicle?
He got out of the car and walked over to Rong Yan.
Xiao Wang also got out and approached.
this is our Captain Lin; your case has been assigned to Captain Lin’s team.”
Upon hearing the word “case,” Xu Ke was overwhelmed.
Already freezing, she now felt a rush of anxiety…
though it may have been fright.
She fainted on the spot.
Rong Yan was speechless.
Was this woman so cowardly?
Of course, what Rong Yan didn’t realize was— in this era, ordinary people often felt intimidated by public officials.
“Is she your friend?” Lin Jun, having been a scout, sensed something was amiss.
This didn’t seem like someone who had fainted due to illness.
“Captain Lin, here’s the situation.
On the night before the college entrance exam, I had diarrhea, possibly because she had drugged me, causing me to feel unwell and unable to complete the exam.
I suspect it was Xu Ke, who I live with, but I didn’t have any evidence.”
“Just today, I tricked her, and she thought I had really found out…”
Following that, Rong Yan recounted receiving one hundred yuan from Ye Yu and the village’s public apology over the loudspeaker.
“The money is here.” Rong Yan pulled out the stack of money from her pocket and willingly handed it over.
“I didn’t actually want to take the money; I just mentioned it offhand because one hundred yuan is a huge sum.
If they had nothing to be guilty about, they surely wouldn’t have been able to produce that money.”
I was planning to return the money tomorrow, but this person thought my reporting to the town meant I was breaking my promise, and came to confront me…”
Lin Jun and Xiao Wang were shocked.
In those times, anyone who could produce one hundred yuan at once was definitely from a wealthy family.
Five cents could buy several items.
Who would just hand out so much money?
Clearly, it was out of fear; it was to ward off disaster.
Xiao Wang couldn’t help but ask, “Mr.
Rong, why didn’t you mention this when you were at our station?”
The college entrance exam was a major event in life; sabotaging it was akin to destroying someone’s future, utterly despicable.
Rong Yan sighed, “I only bluffed this out; I don’t have concrete evidence.
Just suspecting her isn’t enough to convict her, I…”
She lowered her head, looking utterly dejected.
