Chapter 222: Feeding
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the end, Shi Jing’s matter blew up because when she came to the principal’s office, she suddenly changed her words and said that the wound on her neck was accidentally self-inflicted.
The principal felt that there was something hidden about this matter because she had a record of being saved and hospitalized. In addition, this matter had already caused an uproar. Many students had heard her say that this injury was related to Shi Man and Zhu Wen, so she simply called the police and handed this matter to the professionals to take over the investigation.
When Shi Jing heard the principal’s decision, she was stunned on the spot, her face as pale as a piece of white paper.
That night, the police came to the Shi family to interview Shi Man as part of the usual procedures.
As a lawyer, Shi Yu was very familiar with their process. After bringing her to the sofa in the living room, he turned around and comforted his sister. “You don’t have to be afraid. Shi Jing’s matter has nothing to do with you. Just tell her the truth.”
“Yes.” Shi Man was not nervous, to begin with. This matter had nothing to do with her. It was Shi Jing who insisted on dragging her into it.
The police were aware of the Shi family’s status, so they were especially careful when they asked. “Shi Man, Shi Jing had a conflict with you after school today. Why?”
Shi Man took a bite of the apple. “Because her boyfriend came to look for me.”
The police officer continued to ask with an amiable smile, “Then can you tell us why her boyfriend went to look for you and made her so angry?”
Shi Man glanced at the police officer from the corner of her eye and her tone suddenly turned cold. “1 don’t know why that woman suddenly went crazy. Zhu Wen was there to build a relationship with our family. He thinks that if he woos me, he can cozy up to the Shi family. Are you satisfied with this answer?”
The police officer looked at each other and smiled awkwardly. “Shi Man, we don’t have any ill intentions. Do you and your family know that Shi Jing was injured?”
“1 know. Zhu Wen called.” She restrained her expression and continued to curl up on the sofa and bite her apple.
Shi Yu listened to the entire conversation quietly at the side. After understanding what had happened in school, he had an idea. “To be honest, Shi Jing actually has had nothing to do with our family since long ago, so we don’t know much about her. If there are any clues, we will take the initiative to contact you.”
This was an order to leave.
The police were already used to this modern society. They would be disliked wherever they went, so after asking all the questions they wanted to ask, they stood up and left.
After the outsiders left, Shi Yu closed the door and returned. He stared at his sister with a serious expression. “Do you know anything else?”
Shi Man was slightly stunned. She threw away the apple core in her hand, wiped her hands, and asked with a smile, “Second Brother, what else should 1 know?”
Shi Yu took out his phone and showed her a video of her confronting Shi Jing in the corridor. The camera recorded her clearly mentioning Zhang Cheng and Shi Jing’s expression suddenly changed.
Shi Man raised her eyebrows meaningfully and asked, “So Brother knew about this before the police came. It seems that you’ve already handled it for me.”
“Before this video spread online, I found the person who posted the video and asked to delete it.”
Although he did not know how Shi Jing was behind this, he would not stand by and do nothing as long as it involved his sister. Using the convenience of his position, he found out about the student who had posted the video.
Shi Mu hadn’t understood the situation since just now, but this didn’t stop him from seeing the truth at a glance. “Maybe it was posted by someone related to Shi Jing. Otherwise, anyone with a slightly normal IQ.would know not to offend our family.”
Shi Man smiled and nodded exaggeratedly. “Third Brother makes sense.”
“Sister, are you making fun of me?” Shi Mu sat down beside her aggrievedly was he pouted. “If 1 had known earlier, I would have picked you up at the door of your class today. It’s all Yuan Yi’s fault. He insisted on dragging me to buy some gifts after school. Otherwise, Brother would never have let you suffer so much.”
He looked so pitiful that he was about to cry. His heart ached for his sister.
“Alright, alright. Even if you were there today, she will think of a way to slander me.” Shi Man had the least resistance to tears. She did not want a grown man to sit beside her and cry. She quickly coaxed him softly.
Su Tang took the initiative to go to the kitchen to cut some fruits and sat on the sofa opposite her. “Shi Jing is really in trouble this time. Since the police have already interfered, the secrets she hid will be dug up.”
“How long do you think she can hide it?” Shi Man smiled indifferently and stuffed the entire plate of cherries into Su Tang’s hand. “Eat them all. My brother and the others don’t like this.”
“Who said 1 don’t?” Shi Mu had just opened his mouth when he saw his sister give him a look. He swallowed his words. “Yes! 1 don’t like it! Eat these. Otherwise, it will be a waste..”
