“That night, this student went to my shop to buy buns. I had not dared to go outside of my house at first. After a while, when I went out, I saw this group of gangsters harassing this female student. A big white dog came out from who knew where and bit them. They saw me coming out and left. Policemen, you have to take care of it. These gangsters have done wicked things all these years.”
With the aunty’s testimony, Lao Qian went nearby to learn about the situation and then detained the gangsters directly.
As for the big white dog, the nearby residents also said that they had not seen it before and did not know where it came from. Hence, the deaths of Lao Wu and the other gangster could only be left unsettled.
However, the police station posted a notice: big white dog wanted!
Since there was no photo, the police station drew an image based on the descriptions from several people. In truth, it was dark that night and the group of gangsters and the aunty had not seen it clearly so they only knew that it was a white dog over a metre long.
As such, the drawn image was very different from Wen Wen.
It was already afternoon by the time Su Mian returned to the school. When Zhang Yan Jie saw her, it was like she had seen a ghost, “Why has she come back by herself as though nothing had happened?”
The students had discussed privately that Su Mian might have to stay there for a few days. If the matter was big, perhaps she would not come out for a while.
“See how she’s like a vixen, crying and making a scene. The policemen at the police station probably couldn’t stand her so they could only send her back.” Zhang Yan Jie had been constantly looking for a chance to vilify Su Mian. She had waited and waited and at last, this opportunity had come so of course, she would do her best to kick her while she was down.
“Then they can’t just let her go like that. If by any chance she did something outrageously lawless, then wouldn’t we as her classmates be in great danger?” Another cowardly female student had obviously been instigated by Zhang Yan Jie.
Zhang Yan Jie seized this opportunity even more, “Exactly. If she’s in our class, don’t you all feel uneasy? What if she’s in a bad mood one day and cuts us up like cabbage, what then?” After Zhang Yan Jie finished speaking, she made a gesture at the other female student’s neck, scaring her so much that she cried on the spot.
Encouraged by Zhang Yan Jie, a dozen or so other students all clamored about going to find the teacher and saying that with Su Mian in their class, they would not be able to study with peace of mind.
Wei Min was incredibly angry. She knew best the kind of person Su Mian was. How could she do something that was outrageously lawless? These students really spoke and acted on hearsay.
Wei Min stomped her feet in anger, but no one listened to her. Right now, everyone was surrounding Zhang Yan Jie as though she knew some incredible secret.
“They’re just talking. I didn’t do anything outrageously lawless, so what can they do to me?”
Su Mian had not expected that even though she had only been at the police station for a while, Zhang Yan Jie would take the situation and run away with it. Gossip really was a fearful thing. However, since Zhang Yan Jie dared to find faults with her, then she would make sure she suffered great consequences.
The third year class six was in chaos for the whole afternoon and some students even went to find their homeroom teacher, Wu Yu Mei.
The evening self-study class was held by their homeroom teacher, Wu Yu Mei. Today, Wu Yu Mei came half an hour later than usual. Coming with her was Lao Qian from the police station and a comrade from the nearby neighbourhood committee.
They brought a silk banner with them and on it were the words, “Courageously acting for justice, ridding the people of harm!”
The students were dumbfounded. Who was this banner for?
The comrades from the police station took the banner and walked up to Su Mian, “Student Su Mian, thank you for cooperating with our work. This is a gift for you.”
