It appeared as though the situation was about to get out of hand. Someone threw something at He Jing. It was an unopened mineral water bottle. Wu Yu, who was sitting in the front row, exclaimed, “Sister Jing, get out of the way.” He Jing remained motionless as if she was frightened.
At this moment, time seemed to have stopped. Everyone thought that a murder was about to happen.
However Bang!
The mineral water bottle was kicked away.
Almost no one saw how He Jing moved. They only saw the mineral water bottle fly back in the direction it came from. The bottle accurately hit the forehead of the person who threw the bottle. The person was knocked unconscious on the spot.
In an instant, everyone gasped, and the hair on their backs stood on end.
He Jing glanced coldly at the dumbstruck students. Her voice was still soft and pleasant. “My apologies, but I won’t apply to drop out of school, nor will I leave this school.”
Who would dare to bring this up?
The clamoring voices from before seemed to fade visibly.
Sun Chaoyang also became as quiet as a mouse.
Zhang Man stammered, “Even…Even if you use force to threaten us, you won’t be able to change the truth…”
“The truth will indeed not be changed.” He Jing glanced at her coldly. “But it’s hard to say what exactly happened.”
Suddenly, Cheng Yi had an extremely bad feeling. She secretly tugged at Sisi’s sleeve, wanting her to ask the witness not to come.
However, before the two of them could communicate, the witness that Sisi had bought over arrived.
It was a wretched-looking young man and he didn’t look honest.
Cheng Yi had no choice but to shut up and let this act continue. She silently prayed that nothing would go wrong. Sisi walked forward and said to the witness, “Tell everyone what you told me two days ago.”
The witness memorized the script very professionally. When Sisi asked, he immediately revealed a troubled expression and said, “This…This isn’t too good. I’ve already accepted the money. I can’t go back on my word.”
“Do you want to see an innocent girl being framed?” Sisi asked. “I heard that you used to be a security guard at Yin High School. You should know how difficult it is to join the school.”
“Ah, this…”
“If you are willing to tell the truth, I will pay you double.”
The witness finally showed a hint of interest.
He opened his mouth hesitantly, as if he was looking for courage to bravely expose an evil deed. Just as everyone was patiently waiting for him to speak, He Jing, who was standing under the light, suddenly said, “Don’t worry. He Jing isn’t here.”
Sisi cursed in her heart and quickly tried to stop the witness from speaking, but it was too late. The witness said, “Actually, you’ve already revealed the truth. He Jing was the one who asked me to buy the votes.”
Everyone was flabbergasted.
He Jing was speechless. “Pfft.”
Cheng Yi’s expression suddenly became extremely ugly.
She pinched the back of Sisi’s hand hard, and Sisi hinted crazily, “Could it be that you remembered wrongly? Maybe that person’s name isn’t He Jing, but Zhao Jing?”
The witness was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that the script was not written like this. It seemed that he would have to be paid more later. Then, he replied firmly, “No, it’s definitely He Jing. The pronunciation of ‘He’ is very unique. I will not remember it wrongly.”
Sisi was so enraged that she wanted to hit someone. This idiot!
She had long forgotten that she had told him repeatedly that, no matter how others denied it, he would insist that it was He Jing in front of everyone.
He Jing glanced at Sisi and laughed. “Then why did she ask you to buy the votes for me?”
The witness stared at He Jing suspiciously and remembered what Sisi had said before. Cheng Yi was prettier than the average person, and He Jing was quite good-looking, much prettier than the two girls beside Sisi. Therefore, he treated He Jing as Cheng Yi and said passionately, “She said that you snatched her parents away and wanted to let you have a taste of notoriety. Once Yin High School expels you, your parents will definitely take her back.”
“Oh, then she’s really mean.”
“Exactly.”
All the teachers and students had a hard time holding back their laughter and almost treated this farce as a comedy.
They looked at Sisi meaningfully. Sisi’s face was ashen. Cheng Yi finally couldn’t hold it in anymore and shouted, “I am Cheng Yi.”
The witness’s brain stopped spinning. It took him a while to come back to his senses. He pointed at He Jing and asked, “Then who is she?”
He Jing’s red lips curled up slightly. “I’m He Jing..”
