Chapter 399 Suicide Out of Fear of Guilt? 2 Bai Wei took in everyone's reactions and sneered inwardly.
Wang Xiaoya, aren't you a loyal friend? Aren't you going to protect Su An?
Then I'll make sure you die with this stigma, turning you into a "bad element who committed suicide out of guilt" despised by everyone! I'll also make sure that Su An, whom you wanted to protect the most, is suspected by everyone and investigated by the organization because he got close to you, this "bad element"!
What she wanted was to kill two birds with one stone and eliminate future troubles!
She was so engrossed in the pleasure of her successful scheme that she didn't even notice that the gaze from Su Tang, which Qin Ye had been blocking, had bypassed Qin Ye's shoulder and landed on her.
There was no emotion in that gaze.
There was no sadness, no anger.
There was only an endless, soul-chilling darkness.
Just as Bai Wei was about to add fuel to the fire and make the situation even worse,
Su Tang calmly walked out from behind Qin Ye, step by step.
Her steps were steady, each step as if measured with a ruler, precisely landing on the gravel ground without making a sound.
She walked through the crowd, past everyone's gaze, and straight to Bai Wei, who was kneeling on the ground.
Bai Wei's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked up.
Meeting Su Tang's icy gaze, her heart clenched, and an unprecedented fear gripped her throat. She tried to say something, but found herself unable to utter a single word.
Then, she saw Su Tang slowly raise her hand.
That hand, slender and fair, even possessed a delicate beauty in the pale morning light.
"Smack—!"
A crisp, loud slap rang out without warning in the quiet back hills!
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Everyone was stunned.
The cries, the chatter, the breathing all vanished without a trace in that instant.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, looking at the scene before them in disbelief.
The usually taciturn Su An actually... actually hit someone in front of the vice minister and all the instructors?!
Bai Wei's head was jerked to one side by the blow, and her left cheek swelled up rapidly at a visible speed, with five clear finger marks imprinted on it like branding irons.
Her head was buzzing, and her ears were filled with sharp ringing.
pain.
It hurts like fire.
But even more intense than the pain was the extreme shock and humiliation!
She was actually hit?
Su An, a country girl she had always looked down upon, slapped her hard across the face in front of everyone!
"You..." Bai Wei covered her face, finally finding her voice. She suddenly looked up, glaring venomously at Su Tang, "You dare hit me?!"
Her face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and she roared, "Su An! What do you think you're doing? Disorganized and undisciplined, you even dare to hit someone! Are you trying to rebel?!"
Qin Ye's heart was in his throat, and he was about to step forward.
Su Tang spoke up.
Her voice was terribly hoarse, like two rough pieces of sandpaper rubbing together, yet it was exceptionally clear, each word carrying a cold, undeniable power.
“I’m asking you.”
She ignored Zheng Hongyi's angry shouts, her empty eyes simply looking calmly at Bai Wei.
"You said that Wang Xiaoya committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
Bai Wei felt uneasy under her gaze, but still stubbornly insisted, "Isn't that right? If she didn't have something to hide, why would she hang herself?"
“Okay.” Su Tang nodded, as if stating a simple fact. “She spent two whole days and two nights in solitary confinement. It was a closed space with only a wooden bed. She had enough time and a quiet enough environment. If she really wanted to die, why didn’t she die in solitary confinement?”
Bai Wei's breath hitched.
Su Tang took a step forward, her voice still steady, but the sense of oppression suddenly increased.
"She chose to come to this mountain to commit suicide only after she was released. Bai Wei, can you tell me what role you played here?"
