Chapter 122 Frame-up

On the way to Wei Yin's room, Chen Qing met the team leader who came to look for her.

The teacher leading the team, the department head, knew Chen Qing well. This quiet girl had gone from being the center of attention to the constant rumors since she joined the school. After several interactions, they realized she was simply quiet and had no ill intentions. The department head said she had connections that ordinary people couldn't afford to offend. Even so, she had never shown any signs of power. Instead, she was more low-key than the other second-generation students at the school. She was willing to endure professional hardships and was humble, earning a good reputation among the teachers.

There is definitely something hidden behind this incident.

She put her arm around Chen Qing's shoulders and said, "Wei Yin is seriously injured. She fell while going downhill and hit her head on a tree. She was bleeding all the way and it alarmed the organizers. Now she has all the responsibility. Have you thought about what to say?"

The latter said nothing.

Yuan Hui shouted anxiously, "Chen Qing!"

Chen Qing blinked blankly, "What's wrong?"

"If it were you, I'd call the police straight away." Yuan Hui was also a little flustered. "Why would they ask you privately? The police have to collect evidence before they can subpoena you. If she tells you to go, you go. Who knows what tricks she might have up her sleeve."

"Don't call the police." Chen Qing brushed her off and continued walking forward.

If the police are called, the Wei family and Mrs. Jiang will definitely be there, and Jiang Jingyan will not sit idly by. If small conflicts between students become bigger and bigger, and it happens again and again, not to mention the Jiang family, she will be annoyed too.

There were a lot of people standing in Wei Yin's room, including medical staff, teachers, and leaders. It was so crowded that the door couldn't be closed.

Chen Qing walked in under the gaze of everyone, with his back straight.

Wei Yin leaned against the head of the bed with a thick gauze wrapped around her forehead. She already had some of the charm of Lin Daiyu, and now she looked even more delicate.

When she saw Chen Qing, her eyes turned red for a moment and she looked away timidly.

The leader sat on the sofa in the corner and looked up and down. "Are you Chen Qing?"

"Um."

"Have you ever touched Wei Yin's wheelchair?"

Chen Qing nodded. "Yes, her wheel got stuck on the stone road, and I helped her adjust it."

"Adjustment?" A woman sitting beside the bed suddenly interrupted, "This is the result of your adjustment!"

Judging from her age, she should be Wei Yin's teacher.

Like Chen Qing, Wei Yin is a popular figure in the department. Many teachers are trying their best to cultivate one or two students with a bright future. Wei Yin debuted at a young age and now has someone supporting her, so the school naturally pays special attention to her.

Chen Qing took a deep breath, not looking at the teacher, but looking directly at the leader, "Are you convicting me now?"

The leader put down the thermos cup and said cautiously, "Don't worry, we are just asking. If there is any misunderstanding, we can solve it."

"You said it was a misunderstanding, but from what I heard from the teacher, it's confirmed that I did it."

Yuan Hui took a deep breath. She had never seen an aura like Chen Qing before.

The teacher whose name was called changed her expression. She held Wei Yin's hand and sighed, "We are both girls. If you were hit so hard, there will definitely be a scar on your face. Chen Qing, I am worried and confused. Don't mind it."

"I shouldn't admit it, why don't you care?"

The teacher was irritated, but due to her status, she controlled her temper. "A student saw it. After you helped Wei Yin adjust the brakes, her brakes stopped working. I heard that her back injury was also caused by you. At your age, what deep hatred do you have?"

Chen Qing frowned.

Wei Yin didn't look up and whispered softly, "Teacher Gu, those are all rumors. My injury has nothing to do with Chen Qing."

Teacher Gu reached out and touched her shoulder. "Everyone in our school, both teachers and students, praises Wei Yin. This child is kind-hearted and never conflicts with others. Even if a student offends her, she is willing to repay evil with kindness."

Chen Qing's teacher couldn't stand it any longer and stood up to refute, "Our Chen Qing never causes trouble in school. She has a soft temper and a soft heart. Some people with good family backgrounds and connections bullied her, but she never woke up a whole room to seek justice for her."

Teacher Gu's face flushed red, and he turned around and asked, "Who are you bullying?"

"You and I are both teachers and educators, and our goal is to resolve student conflicts. It's not good to be emotionally biased."

The teacher in charge is younger than Teacher Gu. He usually has an attitude of "cleaning up the workplace". Even though he is the department head, he has never been lenient with his peers.

Seeing that the two teachers were about to quarrel, Chen Qing stopped them and stared at the wheelchair in the aisle.

As the medical team was about to move away, she raised her voice, "Excuse me, what's wrong with the wheelchair?"

"The brake lever has a screw loose."

She squatted down beside the wheelchair. "Which one?"

No one knew what she meant. The doctor looked at the leader and pointed at one with an obvious scratch, "This one."

"Is it fixed now?"

"It's fixed."

Chen Qing twisted it with his bare hands, but there was no sign of looseness.

She looked up and asked in a tone that was neither too high nor too low, "What did you use to fix it?"

"wrench."

"Do you think I can loosen it?"

The doctor thought for a moment and said, "If it's already loose, it's possible. Under normal circumstances, a young girl wouldn't be able to unscrew it."

Chen Qing stood up and said, "Then I can't do that."

Wei Yin's face paled several shades.

The girl who was watching her questioned, "Who knows if you used any tools? Anyway, I saw you squatting down."

Chen Qing turned his head calmly and asked, "Where did you see it?"

“A fork in the road not far from the restaurant.”

"Did you see clearly?"

"Of course I saw it clearly. It was empty, and you were the only ones there."

"You mean to say that I hid a wrench and, in broad daylight, released the brakes right under your nose, on an apparently empty road?"

The girl panicked and looked at Wei Yin, unable to answer.

Chen Qing didn't press her, but pushed the wheelchair to the center of the room. "Yuan Hui, sit down."

Yuan Hui already understood what she was thinking. She sat down on it, tilted her head slightly, and looked at Wei Yin.

Chen Qing squatted down again, found the location of the screw, and asked as he started working, "Teacher Gu, do you think there is a way for me to tighten the screw without anyone noticing?"

Teacher Gu's eyes struggled slightly, his lips moved for a long time, but he couldn't speak.

Chen Qing looked at the sofa and asked, "What do you think?"

The leader let out a deep breath and understood something.

The girl next to Wei Yin kept pestering her, "Maybe you broke it in advance while Wei Yin wasn't paying attention!"

Yuan Hui slapped the armrest. "You're talking nonsense! When Wei Yin arrived, she was taken directly to the performance hall from a private car. We never met at all. Chen Qing and she were seated eight feet apart on the stage. After rehearsal, she went to the exclusive lounge. How could Chen Qing get in?"

The whole room was silent.

Chen Qing stood up and slowly dusted off his hands. "During the rehearsal, there are staff guarding the entrances and exits. If I have tools, I can only hide in the ancient town. The open area in the ancient town is not large and easy to search."

Her eyes wandered, her tone nonchalant, "Since you're certain it's me, call the police. See if they can find me, check fingerprints, and trace my whereabouts. That needs professionals to do it."

After saying that, she took out her cell phone and turned to walk out.

Wei Yin threw back the quilt and got out of bed, chasing after him, "Qing'er!"

Chen Qing paused, lowered his eyes and glanced at her, "Can't you run away?"
