Chapter 633: Chapter 633: What are the Preparations?

Because of the accusations made by Zhou Xitong and Ye Chunxiao, Lu Zhu was firmly pinned with the blame.

The family of the old Mrs. Lu spoke even more harshly, going so far as to say things like she had no one to raise her properly.

The class teacher, watching a despondent Lu Zhu, sternly told them, "Say what should be said, don’t say what shouldn’t be said; insulting martyrs could get you arrested."

Watching the teacher firmly protect Lu Zhu behind him, those people finally shut up, all clamoring about wanting compensation.

Just now, Zhang Dalu had mentioned ten thousand yuan; seeing others still pointing fingers at Lu Zhu, he immediately raised the price to twenty thousand yuan.

Lu Zhu didn’t say a word until the class teacher took her back to the dormitory, the whole time seeming bewildered.

Initially, Zhang Dalu and the others had blocked the way, not letting her leave, but the class teacher ultimately vouched for Lu Zhu with the reputation of a Lingguang No.1 Middle School teacher and took her back intact.

Because of the exaggerated stories Zhou Xitong and Ye Chunxiao spread at school, many people knew about this incident.

Unable to contain their curiosity, someone asked Lu Zhu, "What did they say about your compensation? How did you suddenly knock someone down?"

Lu Zhu coldly said, "I didn’t knock anyone down."

Naturally, others didn’t believe her, "Your own classmates saw it; besides, if you didn’t knock her down, why would you help her up?"

"I said I didn’t knock her down!" Lu Zhu suddenly stood up, her eyes fierce, "Why did I help her up? Because I’m stupid, I have problems in my head!"

The girl was intimidated and shrank back, "Why are you getting aggressive with me? It wasn’t me who asked you for compensation. You did it, just admit it."

Qu Ruorui and Yue Qingqing had just gone to wash up and saw this scene when they came back.

Yue Qingqing persuaded everyone to leave, "Alright, it’s late, let’s go back, we still have class tomorrow."

Yue Qingqing was usually friendly to everyone, and although people still wanted to gossip, being gently pushed out by her, they felt it inappropriate to stay longer and had to return to their own dorms.

Qu Ruorui looked at Lu Zhu, who was clenching her fists and standing rigidly, her expression more ferocious than ever before, and instinctively started to feel sad herself.

"Lu Zhu..."

She had just started to speak when she saw Lu Zhu glaring coldly at her.

"Do you want to ask too? Do you also think I knocked someone down?"

"No, no, just now Qingqing and I were saying, it definitely wasn’t you."

Lu Zhu hadn’t expected this answer, and Qu Ruorui continued, "You are someone who would own up to your actions, if you had done it you would admit it."

Lu Zhu’s clenched fists slowly relaxed, and she sat back down.

Yue Qingqing closed the door, turned to look at Lu Zhu, and sighed internally.

She had sensed something off about her last night; according to the compass directions, if she went out something bad was likely to happen.

Unfortunately, Lu Zhu still didn’t heed the warning.

But now, talking about these things was futile, Yue Qingqing asked Lu Zhu.

"What are you planning to do now?"

Lu Zhu touched her face, numbly said, "I don’t know, maybe call the police and let them handle it."

"That’s possible, but you also need to find a way to prove your innocence."

Yue Qingqing had heard from others about the incident; the victim was a woman in her sixties, and people naturally sympathized with her.

Lu Zhu usually kept to herself, not interacting much with others and sporting a boyish short haircut, which made her look like a troublemaker in the eyes of those unfamiliar with her.

In this situation, most people would side with the old lady, thinking that Lu Zhu was lying.

Qu Ruorui suggested, "You should describe what happened at the time, so we can also help you think of a solution."

Lu Zhu looked up at the two of them and finally recounted the entire event thoroughly.

After listening to her, Yue Qingqing and Qu Ruorui felt it was a tricky situation.

The old lady had fallen less than ten meters from Lu Zhu, and she had immediately gone to help her up.

In such a short span of time, passersby might not have noticed the details unless they were paying close attention.

Even if they wanted to find a witness, they might not be able to find one.

On the other hand, Zhou Xitong and Ye Chunxiao were adamantly claiming they were standing across the street and had seen everything clearly.

In comparison, proving Lu Zhu’s innocence seemed extremely difficult.

What was more unexpected was that Zhang Dalu’s family was exceptionally shrewd.

Fearing that Lu Zhu would not pay the compensation after being taken back to the school, they even sought the media to create a fuss, and the next day a story appeared in the local section of the Lingguang Daily Newspaper.

"A high school student denies all wrongdoing after hitting an old lady, righteous students testify and the truth finally emerges."
