Luo Chaoxin gritted his teeth, had made up his mind, and was about to speak.
Luo Qi stared into Luo Chaoxin's eyes, saw through his inner entanglement and determination, and instantly guessed that he was ready to sacrifice others to save himself.
Luo Qi spoke first, "Luo Chaoxin, be brave and take responsibility for your actions. Didn't you mock me for being a coward? If you have the courage, take responsibility for this matter yourself and don't involve others."
"You..." Luo Chaoxin was so provoked that he swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He turned to face the podium and his eyes swept across Lian Binyao's face.
He ignored Lian Binyao's pleading eyes, instead gave him an encouraging glance, and replied to Lu Zhengming: "It's not me."
The Luo family is the largest client of the advertising company run by Lian Binyao's father. He firmly believes that Lian Binyao will take on this insignificant responsibility for him for the benefit of the family.
After hearing Luo Chaoxin's answer, there was a burst of whispers around. Many classmates looked at him with contempt, while some people, with the mentality of watching the show, cast their eyes on Lian Binyao and Sun Wenshu with gloating attitude.
Sun Wenshuo's face turned very ugly, but this matter had nothing to do with him, so even though he was a little unhappy, he was still able to sit still.
In comparison, Lian Binyao was feeling very uncomfortable at the moment - after all, he was the one who suggested throwing paint!
But it was Luo Qi who asked him to bring the paint into the classroom...
Now that Luo Chaoxin is unwilling to take responsibility, the burden naturally falls on Lian Binyao's shoulders.
He was in a state of confusion and wanted to stand up and argue, but suddenly remembered what his father had told him before, so he had to grit his teeth and endure everything silently.
At this moment, Luo Qi keenly noticed Lian Binyao's abnormal behavior.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. Then, in a tone that seemed comforting but was actually mocking, he said, "Student Lian Binyao, since you've chosen to be someone's lackey, you must be mentally prepared to be beaten at any time! Actually, getting beaten is no big deal. After a few times, you'll slowly get used to it!"
When Lian Binyao heard this, the family force behind Yu Caili, which was more powerful than the Luo family, immediately emerged in his mind.
He couldn't help but feel timid and began to hesitate whether to continue to follow Luo Qi's instructions.
"Lian Binyao, it seems that you brought the paint. Don't you plan to explain?" Lu Zhengming looked at the time for class and called Lian Binyao's name impatiently.
Beads of sweat the size of beans suddenly appeared on Lian Binyao's face.
He hesitantly stood up from his seat, then closed his eyes and said loudly, "Teacher, I brought the paint into the classroom. Luo Chaoxin said he wanted to seek revenge on Luo Qi for stabbing him in the jaw yesterday, and he planned to throw paint at Luo Qi. I didn't think that Yu Caili was allergic to paint. This is all my fault. I apologize to Yu Caili!"
He spoke ambiguously, hoping to avoid offending both sides as much as possible.
Lu Zhengming rubbed his forehead lightly. He was still capable of teaching, but he felt quite tired managing these young masters.
Each student has an extraordinary family background, and some trivial matters can become as complicated as a palace drama, which is very tricky.
In the past, Luo Chaoxin often led the others to bully Luo Qi. Because Luo Qi was timid by nature and did not dare to resist, the teachers wanted to settle the matter peacefully and make it disappear.
However, this incident is a criminal case, to put it in a broader sense. If we continue to deal with it perfunctorily, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. The perpetrators must be severely punished, otherwise the school will become a volcano that may erupt at any time, and the teachers will never have peace again.
He knew very well that Lian Binyao was just taking the blame for others, and that simply punishing Lian Binyao would not be enough to eradicate such pranks that endangered the lives of his classmates.
Lu Zhengming felt his thoughts were clear, so he let Lian Binyao go for the time being and turned to Luo Qi and asked, "Luo Qi, Lian Binyao said he brought the paint into the classroom. Why did you say Luo Chaoxin wanted to murder Yu Caili?"
Seeing that Lu Zhengming finally asked him, Luo Qi took the small red plastic bucket from Lu Guoxue, cleared his throat, and acted as if he was about to give a long speech.
However, no one expected that Luo Qi's first words would shock the entire class: "Actually, Luo Chaoxin didn't intend to throw paint on me."
Lu Guoxue, who was sitting next to Luo Qi, was very cunning. After being surprised, he immediately agreed tacitly: "If he didn't have this idea, then why did he bring paint into the classroom?"
When Luo Chaoxin heard Lu Guoxue say that he brought the paint, he instantly flew into a rage and pointed at Lu Guoxue and yelled, "Lu Guoxue, don't make false accusations. I didn't bring that paint into the classroom at all!"
When Lu Guoxue saw that Luo Chaoxin dared to point fingers at him and even yell at him, he immediately became furious.
He stood up suddenly and raised his hand to slap Luo Chaoxin, but was stopped by Luo Qi who was quick-eyed and quick-handed.
Just kidding, Luo Qi was about to perform and couldn't let this idiot interrupt her.
Lian Binyao on the other side thought he had successfully escaped the disaster, but who knew that the crisis would come so suddenly.
He was so scared that he quickly stood up, bowed to Yu Caili outside the window, and said with a sad face: "I brought it! I apologize to classmate Yu Caili!"
Lu Zhengming looked at Luo Chaoxin and Lian Binyao, speechless, thinking: How dare you bully your classmates when you are so timid?
Then he said to Luo Qi, "Luo Qi, go on."
Luo Qi coughed deliberately again to attract everyone's attention.
Then he said slowly, "If Luo Chaoxin really wanted to throw paint at me, he wouldn't have to go to such lengths. He could have just walked up to me, picked up a plastic bucket and turned it over my head without saying a word, or just poured the paint on me directly. That would have been simple, crude, and satisfying. But that's not what happened. He didn't choose that method. Instead, he swept everything on my desk to the floor. So the question is, do you know why he did that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Guoxue asked what everyone present was thinking: "Why?"
After saying that, he didn't forget to glare at Luo Chaoxin provocatively, as if he was waiting for a good show.
Luo Qi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile as she continued to explain, "The reason is actually very simple. He did this simply to irritate me. When I lose my mind due to anger, I will be eager to grab the plastic bucket filled with paint and then splash it on him without thinking. This is his wishful thinking!"
When Luo Chaoxin heard that Luo Qi had guessed his plan, he immediately became anxious and frightened. He quickly started to defend himself, "You're talking nonsense! Teacher, I didn't think that at all! He was deliberately framing me..."
But his words were interrupted by Lu Zhengming.
"Luo Chaoxin, shut up first. Wait until I tell you to speak."
Luo Chaoxin shut up indignantly, turned around and stared at Luo Qi fiercely, as if he wanted to cut Luo Qi into pieces with his eyes, but it was more like a warning.
Unfortunately, his gaze had no effect on Luo Qi.
