Chapter 540: Chapter 540 What is Forgiveness
The entrance to the classroom was completely blocked.
Sheng Tang was puzzled.
She quietly asked a classmate.
The classmate was a girl, her eyes red and tears still hanging at the corners of her eyes: "Lu Yuanyuan committed suicide in the classroom, slit her wrists. The police are dealing with it..."
Sheng Tang’s mind suddenly buzzed.
It was as if a string was pulled very tight and then heavily plucked.
The lingering sound lasted for a long time, echoing in her ears, and she experienced a brief tinnitus.
She seemed unable to hear what the classmate was saying.
Gathered at the door were not only students from their class but also from other classes who came to see the commotion.
The police and forensic doctors were already handling the scene.
Sheng Tang arrived relatively early, before the police finished their work, and the head teacher had not arrived yet.
Two minutes later, the head teacher arrived.
Her first action was to clear the students at the entrance, asking them not to crowd around there.
Sheng Tang and the others retreated to the other side of the corridor.
A moment later, two police officers carried Lu Yuanyuan out with a body bag.
Sheng Tang kept staring, perhaps wanting to see her one last time, yet she had no standing.
She was not a relative, and the police would certainly not let her see.
Her heart felt as if it was filled with lead, even breathing felt heavy.
Yesterday, Lu Yuanyuan had hugged her leg, begging for forgiveness, and today, she had become a corpse, with the tragic method of wrist-cutting suicide.
Sheng Tang’s eyes stung terribly.
Later, classmates gradually arrived.
Several class teachers were also called by the school to manage the discipline; students couldn’t be outside peering around, they had to return to their classrooms.
All the students of the class, under the guidance of the class committee, retreated to the corner of the corridor, unable to get close to the classroom or go inside.
"Going inside would destroy the scene; we still can’t rule out that Lu Yuanyuan was murdered," the class president told everyone.
Sheng Tang, Jiang Baocu, and a few good friends congregated at the stairs.
They were both scared and full of questions.
The new student Lu Yuanyuan was very obedient and quiet, performed well academically, and did not make many enemies in the class.
Except for the slight commotion when she first arrived, as people saw she never caused trouble, naturally no one disliked her, and she didn’t attract much attention.
A class had so many people; it would always break into small groups.
Lu Yuanyuan was part of the group of boarding students, she had her own circle.
No one expected this girl to commit suicide.
"Sun Zhilin, where is Lu Yuanyuan’s roommate?" Jiang Baocu asked another boarding student.
"Taken to the police station, she has to cooperate with the record-making."
"Do you know what happened?"
"I don’t know either, just heard about it when I got to the classroom." Sun Zhilin clutched her chest, "Lu Yuanyuan has been suffering from insomnia recently, maybe it’s related to this."
Everyone was guessing.
No one knew the exact reason.
Sheng Tang remained silent.
Jiang Baocu was a bit worried.
Although not many classmates saw Lu Yuanyuan hugging Sheng Tang and crying yesterday, Sheng Tang was a school celebrity and would spark a lot of discussion.
If someone thought Sheng Tang had forced Lu Yuanyuan to her death, Sheng Tang wouldn’t be able to clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
Besides, Sheng Tang also had a big rival in love, Yang Mingming.
Fortunately, no one noticed this matter.
No rumors linked Lu Yuanyuan’s death to Sheng Tang, Jiang Baocu was overthinking.
Still, why Lu Yuanyuan committed suicide was a thorn lodged in Sheng Tang’s heart.
What pressure bends the back of a teenage girl? When chatting with Lu Yuanyuan yesterday, Sheng Tang noticed her complexion was very poor, not something caused overnight.
What was she troubled by?
She was seeking forgiveness.
What is forgiveness?
