Chapter 109: I wasn’t harmed by General Xu, was I
Chapter 109
Any activity that involved going to a secluded place was avoided if possible. If it couldn\'t be avoided, a group of people would certainly accompany her.
No matter how deranged Xu Xing might be, he would have to consider the consequences.
After a month of intense studying, everyone finally welcomed the first monthly exam since the start of the school year.
A month of hard preparation would surely pay off.
The satisfied looks on all the students\' faces showed that they were confident about this exam.
Well, this could also be considered a misunderstanding.
The relaxed expressions on everyone\'s faces weren\'t because they thought the exam content wasn\'t difficult, but because they didn\'t have to attend evening self-study on the night of the exam.
The homeroom teacher had shown great mercy, allowing everyone to go home and review.
It must be said that the homeroom teacher was still too young.
Finally able to have a normal schedule and leave school early, how could the students obediently go home to study and review?
The knowledge was already in their heads. Whether they studied for two more hours or two fewer hours the night before wouldn\'t make much difference in the end. So they might as well not study at all and enjoy a good evening of fun. Relaxing their mood might even lead to an exceptional performance the next day.
More than half of the class couldn\'t join because they had one-on-one tutoring sessions in the evening.
The remaining small group who didn\'t have tutoring classes decided to go out for a good meal together.
Shi Li chose the location. She had recently seen recommendations for a hole-in-the-wall restaurant on social media. It was a stir-fry restaurant located inside a residential building, reportedly serving delicious food.
Shi Li had been enticed by the recommendations for a long time but had no one to go with her.
This time, taking advantage of the large group, she suggested going there.
Since it was Shi Li\'s suggestion, no one had any objections.
They called a few taxis at the school gate and told the drivers the address after get
ting in.
Shi Li sat in the front passenger seat of the first taxi, with other girls in the same car.
The driver glanced at Shi Li\'s map guide and kindly advised them, "You four young ladies, it\'s not safe to go to that place."
The driver was warm-hearted and talkative. Seeing that they were well-dressed and looked like good students, like his own younger relatives, he couldn\'t help but say a bit more, "The vocational school is nearby, and it\'s quite chaotic. There are delinquent punks with dyed hair everywhere, and I\'ve heard they like to bully young girls. You need to be careful."
Shi Li appreciated his kind reminder and thanked the driver, "Thank you for your warning. We have several male classmates coming with us. Don\'t worry, those punks probably won\'t dare to approach us when they see we have boys with us."
This was indeed the case.
"That\'s good then."
The distance from Qianpu School\'s gate to their destination was considerable. After the driver had warned them, the atmosphere in the taxi became quiet.
Shi Li was looking at the navigation app in her hand to see how far they were from their destination when she accidentally clicked on the vocational school near their destination. The full name of the school and a photo of its gate popped up: this was the vocational school the driver had mentioned.
The more Shi Li looked at it, the more familiar the name seemed, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
After getting out of the car, Shi Li had a sudden realization.
【Right, Hong Yan sent Song Ying to this school】
Shi Li\'s words came out of nowhere, and the others in the car were confused.
This included Song Ying, who had been mentioned by Shi Li.
The others in the car instinctively looked at Song Ying, who heard it but acted as if she hadn\'t, moving out from the back seat with a normal expression.
The taxi stopped at the bottom of the building where the restaurant was located. After everyone got out of the cars, they entered the restaurant together.
Since it was a workday, the restaurant wasn\'t very crowded, unlike the queuing scenes Shi Li had seen online.
The food at this restaurant was quite good, and everyone enjoyed it.
Young people eat quickly, and they finished their dinner before the surrounding tables were filled.
When Shi Li went to the front desk to pay, she glanced at the time. It wasn\'t even six o\'clock yet, and it hadn\'t completely darkened outside.
Remembering the driver\'s warning earlier, since the area was quite chaotic, there was no need to take a walk around to digest their food. They decided to take taxis directly home, where they could still review a bit.
As this was a residential area in a relatively remote location, they had to go to the main road outside the residential complex to catch a taxi.
Since there were many of them, they thought nothing would happen, so they headed towards the main road indicated by the navigation.
This area was in an old part of town, where many basic facilities were in disrepair. Whether the street lights worked or not depended on their mood that day.
As the group passed by a dark corner, they heard clear sounds, along with a series of unspeakable curses, and low sobbing pleas. Gu Yuqing turned on her phone\'s flashlight and walked at the front. She linked arms with Shi Li and said in a low voice to Shi Li and the classmates behind them, "I think we\'ve come across a fight scene."
Hearing this, several boys stepped forward, shielding the girls behind them.
Shi Li said in a very low voice, "It doesn\'t seem like a fight, more like one side is being beaten up."
At this moment, Shi Li was also thinking that they should call the police in this situation.
But she was afraid that by the time the police arrived, this group would have already run away.
As a righteous person, Shi Li opened her phone\'s camera function.
A male classmate stepped forward and shouted, "What are you doing!"
The female punk who was beating someone was startled by this shout: "It\'s none of your business, mind your own affairs."
The entire scene of the female punks beating someone was recorded, and Shi Li casually put her phone back in her pocket.
The female punk, dressed in a stereotypical delinquent style, had initially wanted to intimidate these passersby, to warn them about what they should and shouldn\'t say.
But seeing that the other group clearly outnumbered them, and judging from their appearance and demeanor, they were people they couldn\'t afford to mess with.
The little punks scattered like frightened birds and beasts, leaving the beaten girl behind.
Seeing that the beaten girl\'s clothes were torn and barely covering her, the male classmates didn\'t approach. Instead, the female classmates went forward to help the girl fix her clothes.
Song Ying draped her own jacket over the girl\'s shoulders and took out a tissue to wipe her tears, "Are you alright?"
Song Ying said, "Let\'s take you to report this to the police."
The others agreed, "We\'ve recorded a video as evidence. Don\'t be afraid, we can all be your witnesses."
The half-minute video played silently, finally freezing on the face of a heavily made-up girl.
This face looked familiar to Shi Li.
【These girls look a bit familiar】
Seeing that Shi Li hadn\'t moved for a while and hearing her say the girl looked familiar, Song Ying came up beside Shi Li and asked, "Do you know this person?"
Song Ying\'s voice gave Shi Li a reminder, and she remembered why they looked familiar.
【I know now, that purple-haired girl is the main culprit who bullied Song Ying every day, ultimately causing Song Ying to develop a mental illness and commit suicide by jumping off a building】
As for why they looked familiar, it was because Shi Li had seen her mugshot without makeup.
The Shi family only learned about Song Ying\'s ordeal after she jumped off the building. They sent the group of bullies to prison, but because they were minors at the time, even though the Shi family managed to have them punished by law and sent to prison, they were released quickly.
Shi Li later heard that after these little delinquents were released from prison, they remained arrogant.
But not long after, each of them died quite miserably.
Song Ying: What? So I wasn\'t killed by Xu Xing from Xitai Investment?
Others: What? So she wasn\'t killed by Xu Xing from Xitai Investment?
So the question is, if it wasn\'t Xu Xing who harmed Song Ying/me for no reason, why did Mr. Xu bury Song Ying/me on the mountain behind the school?
