Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Unhappy and Ungrateful

Click.

The light switch was turned on, flooding the room with brightness.

Xiaozhang was gaping at Yu Jingting on the bed.

"Why is it you...?"

"Who else were you expecting?" Suizi walked in from outside.

Following behind her were the Principal and Liao Yong.

The weapon in Xiaozhang’s hand fell to the floor with a thud.

He didn’t recognize Liao Yong, but the uniform he was wearing said it all.

"You are indeed smart to use this as a weapon."

Suizi’s attention was on the object on the floor - a towel.

Yes, a towel.

Soak a towel in water, leave it outside for a while and it would freeze solid.

It was as hard as a rock and could be used to bash someone’s head in, then melted and disposed of afterwards to cover the tracks.

A genius indeed, but his genius was not used in the right way.

"Zhang, why you?" The Principal was still confused.

Xiaozhang stood there, his mind filled with just one question: Why?

How could his perfect plan have failed?

Yu Jingting took off his helmet and tossed it aside in disgust.

"This girl at home is too careful. I kept saying I wasn’t scared, but she insisted on me wearing this thing!"

His tough-guy image was ruined! The helmet had messed up his hair, which he quickly tried to correct with his hand.

"When did you figure it out?" Xiaozhang, seeing the inevitable end, asked Suizi bitterly.

"The moment Wang Mengmeng tripped, I felt that something was off."

Suizi began to explain it all.

Just as Yu Jingting had deduced, nobody would intentionally carry a cup of water over to that spot and spill it.

Among those who regularly visited the Principal’s Office, besides Wang Mengmeng, whose motives were unclear, the only one who would give a legitimate report was Suizi.

"Before I left, I already had someone to check your teacups. The culprit would have filled it up because they were guilty. Xiaoli’s cup was cold, Yue’e’s was empty, only yours, was warm."

It added up to a motive."

"Zhang, you used to be silent and hardworking. How could you be so vicious, attacking Chenchen in a way that could cause a miscarriage?"

The Principal, who was still at the cunning stage of taking little advantages, was dumbfounded by the advanced tactics on display.

"It was just a cup of water, I can spill it anywhere I want, you have no evidence it was intentional." Surprisingly, Xiaozhang still refused to give in.

Suizi looked at him coldly. Of course, someone capable of such treachery would not easily repent for his actions.

If he had any conscience, he wouldn’t have done this in the first place.

"I knew spilling the water wouldn’t work. But you sneaking in in the middle of the night to hit someone, this was witnessed by the police officer, there is no escape for you."

Suizi’s soft voice sounded like a death sentence in Xiaozhang’s ears.

"Chen Hansui, how could you be so insidious? You set me up?" Xiaozhang pounced on Suizi, furious.

Yu Jingting kicked him against the wall, raised his fist and aimed it straight at his right eye. Xiaozhang screeched in pain and remained silent.

"So you’re the victim now? Plotting an attack that could lead to a miscarriage isn’t insidious? Good people are supposed to be your pawns, right?"

Yu Jingting then delivered several punches to his stomach. Liao Yong waited until all this was over before stepping in, giving Yu Jingting enough time to vent his anger.

"Family member, please control your temper. We’ll take him and interrogate him."

"Just remember this! What the government does to you is their business, we have a separate score to settle! You mess with my wife, be prepared to deal with my revenge! If I see you once, I hit you once!"

Yu Jingting’s warning chilled Xiaozhang to the bone and scared the Principal too.

This was the real Yu Jingting?

The Principal deeply regretted his initial mistaking of Yu Jingting for a simpleton from a village.

He was a King Yama in disguise!

Even Liao Yong was amazed at how Xiaozhang had dared to provoke Yu Jingting.

With such a ruthless demeanor, even the wise would steer clear of crossing paths with him.

Xiaozhang’s daring attempt to tread on the forbidden territory was merely a way to court his own disaster.

Xiaozhang was taken away for interrogation, standing by his actions despite being cornered by reality.

He was jealous of Suizi.

At his former place of employment, he had worked really hard and assumed he would be promoted after his superiors were relocated.

Instead, a newcomer became the new head and he was transferred to the low-class night school.

Gauging by his previous work experience, he thought he could easily get the office director position at the night school, but Suizi was present.

Despite her young age, Suizi handled the job effortlessly. Major problems that others couldn’t handle were child’s play when they were in her hands.

He saw the school about to choose an outstanding employee with only one spot available.

Xiaozhang believed the position was reserved for Suizi.

He heard about the upcoming promotion reviews and knew Suizi would steal the limelight then too.

With Suizi around, his opportunities for advancement were null.

Xiaozhang felt a great imbalance, his hate seeds taking root.

His final push to strike came from the recent friction between Wang Mengmeng and Suizi.

The conflict was instigated by Wang Mengmeng, and the entire school from top to bottom knew she had issues with Suizi.

Wang Mengmeng even openly wished for Suizi, the pregnant woman, to have a miscarriage and take a few months off, rather than coming to school and causing a commotion.

The words were heedless, but Xiaozhang took them to heart.

The devil in the back of Xiaozhang’s mind began to run rampant, suggesting that if Chen Hansui had a miscarriage, everyone would suspect Wang Mengmeng.

If Chen Hansui was home resting, the position of office director might just fall into his lap.

He believed it was something he was owed by universe. Given his previous performance, he should have already been promoted, he should not have ended up under the command of a freshly graduated student.

Suizi intentionally let Zhang Yue’e imply to Xiaozhang that Wang Mengmeng saw who did it, but due to being bumped on the head, she couldn’t quite recall everything.

At the same time, Suizi also provided Xiaozhang with a chance to repent, and confess in writing, offering him forgiveness.

However, once the evil seed in the heart is ready to bloom, a mere kind warning from Suizi wouldn’t be enough to hold it back anymore.

So as to cover up his previous wrongdoing, Xiaozhang decided to act again.

He wanted to hit Wang Mengmeng’s head again, making her completely forget what she’d seen.

Little did he know, Suizi had set up an elaborate trap for him, waiting for him to walk right in, leading to his real-time capture.

After the confession was recorded, the Principal was still reeling from the shock.

"I really couldn’t tell, Xiaozhang seemed so honest and hardworking, who knew he was that kind of person."

It’s terrifying when the seemingly good become evil.

"Hmm, a barking dog doesn’t bite, just like you, Principal. Sure, you can be a nuisance, but at least your true nature isn’t hidden, he on the other hand, acts human on the surface, but is ghostlike behind the scenes."

Yu Jingting patted the Principal’s bald head.

"So, I still prefer you."

"..." Thanks for nothing, the Principal neither accepted the praise nor looked happy.
