“Uncle, we truly didn’t think much about it. That’s why we ended up in this situation today.”
Mrs. Zhao looked at her and asked nervously, “Why did this happen? Even if you were exposed, it was still all three of you who committed the deed. But why were only the two of you criticized and your parents informed? How did Li Yue’an come out as innocent? Didn’t you speak up at all?”
Wu Tian’s eyes turned bloodshot when she thought of the situation at that time. That feeling was suffocating.
“Please, explain it to us more. What happened after that?”
Wu Tian pursed her lips and glanced at Zhao Lingling. Zhao Lingling was also looking at her.
She took a deep breath and slowly explained, “The day before, we placed the necklace in Lu Ning’s bag. Tian’tian was the one who went, and I was in charge of turning off the surveillance cameras.” “What about Li Yue’an?
“She was outside the school building.”
Mr. Zhao sat down on the sofa, a little angry. “Are you two stupid?! You’re the ones who did everything. In the end, weren’t you the ones who took the bullet for her?!”
Wu Tian was taken aback for a moment before she continued, “We didn’t let the necklace be found that day. Lù Yue’an said to wait until the next day, since Lu Ning’s class had the highest points and her class will be receiving a prize on the podium. She wanted to reveal it then, so that everyone would pin the blame on Lu Ning…”
Mrs. Zhao clutched her chest, her face filled with disbelief. “How is she so vicious at such a young age?!”
Wu Tian said right on the heels of that, “Later on, the next day, we found out that Lu Ning had changed to a new bag. We were shocked and didn’t know if the necklace was still in Lu Ning’s bag; that necklace was a gift to Lù Yue’an from Auntie Lù, and it was very expensive. We were scared out of our minds, so we looked for Lù Yue’an and told her.
“After that, she followed us to Lu Ning’s classroom to look for the necklace. This time, I was the one who interfered with the surveillance cameras, and she went with Lingling.
“But she still asked Lingling to do everything, so the camera didn’t capture her at all. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to escape unscathed.”
“Camera? What camera?
Wu Tian glanced at Zhao Lingling. She did not expect Zhao Lingling to not have mentioned anything at all.
“There was a camera on Lu Ning’s bag that we didn’t know about. It’s so small that we couldn’t spot it at all. It’s all because the camera captured Lingling perfectly that she couldn’t explain herself.”
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao looked at each other. “Why was there a camera? And It’s even on her bag, but you couldn’t see it? Besides, why wasn’t Li Yue’an captured when they were standing together? Is what the two of you said actually the truth?”
The two of them were a little unconvinced when they heard about the camera. Out of the blue, there was a camera; yet, even though the two of them had been there twice, it did not reveal anything?
Wu Tian watched the two of them and placed her phone on the table.
“Uncle, Auntie, at that time, I accidentally pressed the recording button. This is the recording from then, listen to it.”
Seeing that the two of them did not believe her, Wu Tian started playing the recording.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao looked at each other, then at the cell phone. Zhao Lingling could not help but turn around; she had no idea that Wu Tian had recorded it.
After pressing the play button, there was some noise, and right after that was Lù Yue’an’s voice. She was asking, “What’s wrong?
Hearing Lù Yue’an’s voice, the two of them were shocked for a moment before they continued to listen.
Lù Yue’an’s voice rang out twice, and it was indeed her. Then, Lù Yue’an’s voice demanded, “See if the necklace is still there.”
Mr. and Mrs. Zhao’s eyes widened.
Then, they heard Zhao Lingling’s voice. Her voice was trembling. “No, it’s not there.”
Thereafter, there was silence. Shortly after, Lù Yue’an’s voice could be heard..
“Put this in!”
