Chapter 267: Broken Jar

Zheng Xue was almost stunned for a moment, looking at Tang Wan blankly, muttering: "You, you are trespassing."

"This is also illegal for you."

Tang Wan nodded, not denying Zheng Xue's words, but continued to say: "Special period, special treatment."

"I will apologize for trespassing, but you've imprisoned others, violently bullied others, and..."

"Stop talking!" Zheng Xue heard Tang Wan was about to continue talking, and hurriedly stopped her, shouting, "Stop talking!"

There was even a hint of begging in her eyes, as if she didn't want Tang Wan to continue speaking.

Tang Guan looked at Zheng Xue with a complicated expression, but still gave Zheng Xue a last bit of dignity.

Just...

"Stop! Are you taking us away like this? Is there any law or order left?"

In fact, Zheng Xue wanted to use this statement to dissuade Tang Wan from the beginning.

However……

When she heard what Tang Wan had just said, she knew it was too late.

The police officer who came in from outside took Zheng Xue and her father away, leaving a pile of chicken feathers on the ground.

Ji Helin watched Zheng Xue being taken away, gasping for breath on the spot. Then he raised his hand, wiped the cold sweat from his head, and prepared to walk to Gong Xiao and help her up.

However, the police officers stopped Ji Helin's actions.

Ji Helin frowned at their rejection of him and asked in a somewhat unfriendly tone, "What do you mean by this?"

The police officer was not frightened by his tone, but continued: "Student Ji, you are suspected of robbing someone. Come with us."

Ji Helin hadn't reacted when he was taken away.

But the education he received from the Ji family over the years did not make him panic instantly. Instead, he followed these people and spoke with unprecedented confidence.

"There may be some misunderstanding. I am not involved in what happened between them."

However, the police officers smiled when they heard Ji Helin's words, and said meaningfully: "Just because you didn't participate doesn't mean your elders and your family didn't participate. But you left only because you showed up here."

Ji Helin immediately understood the meaning of this sentence, but the anger on his face deepened, and his words were also filled with anger.

"Nonsense, how could our family possibly..."

However, he had just started to say this when he suddenly stopped as if he had thought of something.

In the past, he could have firmly stated that these things had nothing to do with their family.

But over the years, the things that happened at home and the words that grandpa said came flooding back like a tide, making Ji Helin a little panicked.

And the words that his elders said in his memory suddenly and firmly hit his heart.

Those words seemed to have turned into the sharpest handle of a knife, instantly irritating his rational nerves and making him a little hysterical.

Ji Helin turned his head and looked at Tang Wan, his voice a little hoarse.

"Tang Wan! You did it on purpose!"

"You left me here on purpose and wanted to use me as a hostage!"

"You called me out specifically just to keep Zheng Xue and catch us all in one fell swoop, right?"

"Tang Wan, I trusted you so much, and this is how you treat me?"

"The friendship we've had as classmates over the years is just not worth mentioning in your eyes, right?"

Ji Helin spoke quickly, crying because he realized that if he didn't finish what he said now, he would never have the chance to see Tang Wan again.

Before Tang Wan could say anything, Fu Wenzhi, who was standing next to Tang Wan, spoke first.

Compared to his usual gentle and refined demeanor, Fu Wenzhi seemed particularly cold at this moment.

The look he gave Ji Helin was extremely impatient, as if he had seen something dirty.

"Ji Helin, are you using moral kidnapping?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Fu Wenzhi chuckled, as if he had said something funny.

"I don't know if you've ever heard the saying, 'There are no idols before the country.' Besides, the relationship between you two is just an ordinary classmate relationship. Your family has gone astray, and we are only locking you up for the greater good."

"You don't have to act so innocent. Even though the Ji family has been so domineering over the years, you've enjoyed a lot of benefits from being born into such a family. Since you've inherited the family's convenience, you must also bear the consequences when it backfires."

"I don't know that you have crossed the red line, but the benefits are so great that you can't bear to give it up."

"Now that you've said this, I think you know that the mistakes you made can't be brushed aside or let go easily, so you act like you're giving up. It's really a bit embarrassing."

Fu Wenzhi rarely speaks such long sentences.

Generally speaking, things that can make Fu Wenzhi speak for so long are most likely related to Tang Wan.

When Tang Guan heard what Fu Wenzhi said, he knew that he had nothing more to say to Ji Helin, so he prepared to leave with Fu Wenzhi.

But before she left, Ji Helin suddenly called out to Tang Wan.

"Tang Wan!"

But the fifteen-year-old boy still couldn't hide his emotions well.

No matter what gesture he made, it seemed like bluffing in front of Tang Wan and Fu Wenzhi, like a blank sheet of paper.

Just like now, he pretended to be angry, but the emotion in his eyes betrayed him.

It’s just that Tang Wan didn’t understand what love between men and women was, so she just felt that the look in Ji Helin’s eyes when he looked at her was a little strange.

Ji Helin looked at Tang Wan deeply, then lowered his head without saying anything.

He knew that after parting today, they would probably never see each other again in this life.

His voice was a little low, and his lowered head obscured his eyes.

Like a wet puppy, it uttered its last wail: "It's okay, go away."

Tang Wan left.

Gong Xiao was sent to the hospital by Tang Wan and Fu Wenzhi for the whole night. When they were done, it was already three or four in the morning and dawn was about to break.

Fu Wenzhi followed behind Tang Wan and saw that Tang Wan was silent. He realized that Tang Wan was still emotionally affected by this incident.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Tang Wan say, "Can human desires really devour everything?"

"They knew this was illegal, but they still went astray for the sake of the profits."

"Are they out of control, or is this just their nature?"

Fu Wenzhi knew that Tang Wan didn't want to get any answers, she just felt a little emotional.

After all, Tang Wan has known a truth since he was very young.

——There are only two things in the world that cannot be looked at directly: one is the sun, and the other is the human heart.
