Chapter 20 The Truth Comes to Light
Behind the bushes outside the campus cafeteria, several girls who were usually very naughty in class were talking about it, including Jiang Lin who the class monitor mentioned.
"Jiang Xueli has been with Lin Zhengran all day recently. Do you think they have found out something?"
"I don't think so. How can we check this? There was no one around when we put the phone in the hole in her desk."
"No one is wrong, but Lin Zhengran is the top student in our class. I'm afraid he will know that it was us who did it."
"What should we do? I didn't expect this to get so serious. If we tell the teacher, our parents will be called in and we will all be expelled!"
The more people talked about it, the more anxious they became. They have been unable to find peace these past few days because of this matter.
At the corner outside the bushes, Lin Zhengran and Jiang Xueli were pressed against the wall.
Jiang Xueli held the recorder in her hand and gritted her teeth after listening to the whole thing: "These guys! It turned out that they did it! I can't let these guys off!"
Lin Zhengran hushed at Jiang Xueli, signaling her to stop talking because those people were talking about Jiang Xiao.
Then I heard those girls say: "By the way, what happened to Jiang Xiao that day? Why did she point out Jiang Xueli in class? She wasn't there when we put the phone and money there."
Jiang Lin replied: "I forgot to tell you that Jiang Xiao actually saw us when we put our phones away that day, but she said she would not report us and said she would pretend not to see it. I didn't expect her to identify Jiang Xueli in the class."
"This is normal. After all, Jiang Xiao likes Lin Zhengran, right? She doesn't like Jiang Xueli."
Jiang Xueli, who was in the corner, heard this and didn't expect that she had guessed it right. She turned off the recorder and whispered to Lin Zhengran, "Now everything is clear and the evidence has been preserved."
Lin Zhengran smiled and said, "You will be able to clear your name soon. Do you plan to go and tell the teacher directly, or scare them here? If you go out with the recorder now, do you believe that these guys will cry?"
Jiang Xueli clenched her fists angrily: "Of course I have to scare them! Even if they are classmates in the same class, this is too bullying! I can't bear this kind of anger for nothing!"
Jiang Xueli shook her twin ponytails, held her head high and walked out of the corner with the tape recorder in her hand.
The voice was like the dawn: "Don't you think what you did is too much?!"
Her voice really frightened the girls so much that they trembled with panic in their eyes: "Jiang Jiang Xueli?! And Lin Zhengran, why are you two here?"
Jiang Xueli held up the recorder: "What do you think? I have recorded everything you just said. You have done so many excessive things, just wait for the teacher to call your parents!"
Lin Zhengran naturally walked out as well, but before the two of them could say anything else.
Suddenly, more than half of those girls turned pale with fright and started crying, sobbing and saying sorry. They had not expected things to be so serious.
Especially Jiang Lin, who was the leader, she was even the first one to cry.
Lin Zhengran was speechless. The child was really just a child and couldn't hold himself together at all.
Of course, crying loudly is useless. This matter must be told to the teacher and announced to the world. At most, the punishment will be adjusted appropriately depending on Jiang Xueli's mood and whether she forgives them or not.
However, before telling the teacher, Jiang Xueli went to find her deskmate Jiang Xiao.
This time Lin Zhengran didn't go because Jiang Xueli said, "This matter may have nothing to do with her, but it also has something to do with her. It doesn't matter if it has something to do with her. I'll go talk to her myself."
Lin Zhengran shrugged: "It's up to you, after all, I'm just here to help."
Jiang Xueli found Jiang Xiao alone and told her that she already knew everything and even got the recording of the group's conversation.
Jiang Xiao lowered his head, without shedding tears but his expression was full of confusion and pain.
It seemed as if he had known this would happen.
He also said to Jiang Xueli: "I knew that this matter could not be concealed. Since Lin Zhengran is helping you investigate, he is so smart that he will definitely find out. I am sorry for you."
Jiang Xueli said coldly: "It's too late for you to say sorry now. I will ask the teacher to change the table, and we will not be sitting at the same table in the future."
Seeing that the other party had nothing to say, she turned around and was about to leave, but Jiang Xiao suddenly squatted down and cried, covering her face.
"Jiang Xueli, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done this, I will never do it again, I don't know why I did that day, but I really don't like seeing you two together."
"Actually..." Jiang Xueli saw her uncomfortable expression and told the truth: "Actually, my relationship with him was not that good at the beginning. If you hadn't caused these things this time, maybe we wouldn't have eaten and chatted together these days, and we wouldn't have become so familiar with each other."
Jiang Xiao cried even harder.
Jiang Xueli said this and left, completely unaware that this sentence would be far more painful than simply scolding the other person.
In the afternoon, Jiang Xueli didn't even take the recorder. She took the group of girls, Jiang Xiao and the class monitor to the head teacher's office.
Explain the matter clearly in detail.
The head teacher was shocked. After learning the truth, he scolded the girls severely and called the parents of all the students except the class monitor.
The group of girls received the second scolding, and the only sound in the office the whole afternoon was crying.
After the scolding, the head teacher also apologized to Jiang Xueli alone: "I'm sorry, Jiang Xueli, I shouldn't have said that to you in class last time. Your discipline committee teacher will help you recover. I'm sorry."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Jiang Xueli smiled and nodded.
The next morning, all the students in Class 2, Grade 4 sat in the classroom.
The head teacher sternly reiterated the matter at the podium:
"The last time there was a theft in our class, after investigation it was proven that Jiang Xueli was wrongly accused! She didn't take the monitor's things or anyone's money at all. I won't mention the names of those who wrongly accused her! If Jiang Xueli hadn't forgiven you, this matter wouldn't have ended so easily!"
"But even if she forgives you, you all know what you did?! I hope you can remember this lesson! Always keep this in mind! And thank Jiang Xueli! If something similar happens in our class again in the future, I will never let the criminal off lightly like I did this time!"
The head teacher spoke at the top of his voice for more than ten minutes. Although he did not call out any names, everyone knew it at a glance, and those who usually followed in wrongly accusing Jiang Xueli also looked embarrassed.
The head teacher said: "I hereby announce that Jiang Xueli will be officially reinstated as the disciplinary committee member from today on. I hope she can better perform her duties as the disciplinary committee member in the class in the future. Let's applaud our disciplinary committee member!"
The whole class applauded from small to large, and Jiang Xueli sat there a little shyly.
The theft incident was completely resolved after a week.
Everything returned to normal. Children really don't remember things, and the theft was quickly forgotten by everyone.
Jiang Xueli was still the same as before. Whenever she saw someone talking or chatting, she would quickly write it down on the blackboard.
A naughty boy asked: "Disciplinary Committee member, do you really like Lin Zhengran? If I say that I have a good relationship with him, can you not remember my name?"
Jiang Xueli blushed and said, "What are you talking about?! Who said that to me?"
She closed her eyes and suddenly changed her words shyly: "I like whoever I want to like! It's none of your business! I'm going to put your name first!"
When the class heard this, many people started to make a noise: "The discipline committee member really likes Lin Zhengran! Look, he's blushing!"
Jiang Xueli stood there in anger. She turned around and glanced at Lin Zhengran, who didn't care. She became even angrier and blurted out:
"What does it have to do with you?! What's wrong with me just liking you?! If anyone makes trouble again, I will write you down on the blackboard! I will write you all down on the blackboard!"
The whole class was stunned, and Jiang Xueli also stood there in a daze.
