Wu Fei, an orphan, inexplicably inherited an adventure haunted house within a dilapidated amusement park. The catch? It couldn't be transferred or sold; she had to operate it herself, or face a...
Zhang Xiaoying stared blankly at Wu Fei in front of her, unable to recover from her shock.
Ma Xiaoling stepped forward and helped her up with Wu Fei. She also took out a Band-Aid from her pocket and put it on her scraped knee.
"Who are you?" Zhang Xiaoying suddenly became alert and took a few steps back.
Wu Fei immediately said, "We are the police, and we want to investigate something with you."
"Police, police?" Zhang Xiaoying's face turned pale in an instant, and she instinctively took a few steps back.
Just then, hurried footsteps were heard behind me.
"Are you police officers?"
A middle-aged man looked uneasy and asked, "I'm the principal of Shengming Middle School. Which police station are you from?"
Ma Xiaoling frowned and handed him her police ID.
The principal looked at the officer's ID and said nervously, "Officer Ma, let me make it clear that the messy things this student did outside of school have nothing to do with our school..."
Upon hearing the principal's immediate attempt to distance himself from the matter, Ma Xiaoling said in a deep voice, "Since he's a student of your school, shouldn't you be responsible?"
The principal was anxious when he heard this and whispered to Ma Xiaoling, "Officer, she's a bad kid to begin with. She's still hanging out with bad people outside of school and even going to bars and nightclubs to do...that kind of thing, that's not what our school teaches!"
"That thing?" Wu Fei narrowed her eyes and asked, "What is it?"
The principal glanced at Zhang Xiaoying, who was huddled in the corner, and said unhappily, "You probably don't know yet, but this Zhang Xiaoying is actually doing that kind of thing outside to make money from men!"
"As the head of a school, you must be responsible for your words!" Ma Xiaoling said in a deep voice.
The principal said, "I didn't say that! Many students and parents have seen it..."
"If it weren't for the fact that she's an orphan, the school would have expelled her long ago after such a scandal!"
Ma Xiaoling frowned and asked, "Is she an orphan?"
"The teachers at the welfare home said she was a restless person... Never mind, that's all in the past. Since you, officers, have come to arrest her, we will definitely cooperate..."
"Who told you that we are here to arrest someone?" Ma Xiaoling couldn't help but interrupted him loudly.
Suddenly, the classroom door opened, and the old man stuck his head out and said impatiently, "Principal, the students are still in class!"
The principal hurriedly said to Ma Xiaoling and the others, "How about officers, take her to my office for a talk?"
After sitting down in the office, the principal ignored Zhang Xiaoying, who was walking at the back with her head down, and said to Ma Xiaoling in a polite and flattering manner, "Officer Ma, what on earth did this student do outside?"
"Nothing wrong!"
The principal's face froze. "How is that possible? A few days ago, someone said they saw her getting an abortion in the hospital..."
"Who saw it?"
Suddenly, Wu Fei, who had been silent all this time, spoke, staring at the principal with extremely sharp eyes, almost spitting fire from her eyes.
"It's said... one of her classmate's parents saw it and secretly went to the hospital to inquire about it. They said that she was not only pregnant but also contracted that nasty disease!"
The principal said without hesitation.
Zhang Xiaoying was trembling all over, her face was extremely pale, and her voice was extremely weak: "I, I, I didn't..."
The principal said with disdain, "Of course you won't admit it! Don't you know what you've done? Aren't you afraid of being found out?"
"Back then, I suspected your parents had abandoned you. Maybe they had foreseen that you would fall into this state!"
"If I were your parent, I would never want you!"
“Snap—”
A crisp and loud slap was heard, and everyone in the office was stunned.
Wu Fei retracted her hurt palm, stared at the principal with gloomy eyes and said, "If I were her, I would kill you first!"
The principal's eyes were filled with anger, but he thought Wu Fei was also a police officer, so he said timidly: "I, I, I am just telling the truth..."
"You can only tell the truth if you saw it with your own eyes. Otherwise, it's just a rumor and can't be used as evidence in court!" Ma Xiaoling said coldly, "Who said those words?"
The principal glanced at Ma Xiaoling and said sheepishly, "It's the parent of her classmate."
"Which classmate?" Wu Fei asked sternly.
Ma Xiaoling couldn't help but look at her.
For some reason, she felt that Wu Fei was becoming a little excited at this moment.
"It's Chen Xiaohua!"
Zhang Xiaoying looked up in shock. "Impossible! I never went to the hospital. How could she have seen me there? She's lying!"
For some reason, after seeing Wu Fei slap the principal, she felt much more confident.
"How is that impossible?" The principal, always picking on the weak, immediately hardened his tone towards Zhang Xiaoying. "Her mother called the school herself and told her! Could it be that her parents had nothing better to do than to make up rumors about you?"
"How could they do this..." Zhang Xiaoying burst into tears, "I didn't do those things at all... I didn't do anything... Why! Why!"
Wu Fei felt a pang of sadness. She immediately went forward and hugged her in her arms. She stared at the principal angrily and said, "Then please ask the principal to invite Chen Xiaohua and her daughter to the school and question them face to face!"
The principal muttered, "It's unnecessary to have parents come all the way here for such a small matter, isn't it?"
"A small matter? You think this is a small matter?" Wu Fei stared at the principal with eyes that almost looked like knives flying out of them!
The principal was frightened by her look and stammered, "Then, I'll call her workplace."
Perhaps shocked by Wu Fei's expression, the principal quickly found the phone number of Chen Xiaohua's mother's workplace and called her: "Chen Xiaohua's mother? Please come to the school as soon as possible... Yes, it's urgent... It's about your daughter..."
After hanging up the phone, the principal forced a flattering smile at Wu Fei: "She said she would come over now."
Wu Fei said in a deep voice: "Let Chen Xiaohua come as well!"
"The students are in class... Well, Teacher Wu, please go to Class 3 of Grade 1 and call Chen Xiaohua." The principal's scalp tingled under Wu Fei's gaze, and he said helplessly.
After a while, Chen Xiaohua was brought to the office.
When she walked in, she saw Zhang Xiaoying, whose face was filled with anger and tears. Her eyes flickered and she smiled sweetly at the principal: "Principal, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
"Tell me, did your mother see her in the hospital last week?" asked the principal.
Zhang Xiaoying hurriedly said, "Xiaohua, your mother must have mistaken me for someone else. I went back to the orphanage last week. How could I be in the hospital? And she's still saying things about me, about me..."
As he spoke, tears began to flow and he sobbed uncontrollably.
Wu Fei stopped her: "Xiaohua, please don't speak for now. I'll let you speak later, and then you can speak."
She knew too well how feeble Zhang Xiaoying's explanation was when faced with the overwhelming amount of dirty water hurled at Chen Xiaohua and her daughter.
