"It's alright," Zhou Changgui forced a smile at Zhao Xuehui. "They were just a few petty thugs after they robbed us of our money, but at least we've saved our lives, haven't we?"
Zhou Changgui's words sounded so aggrieved, making him appear even more pitiful.
Seeing this, Jiang Sheng felt even more that Zhou Changgui's acting was incredibly realistic.
If he hadn't already known what kind of person Zhou Changgui was, he probably would have been completely fooled by this whole thing.
Zhao Xuehui, who was standing next to her, was the same.
Fortunately, she already knew some of the details of today's events before she came.
Moreover, they also knew exactly what kind of person Zhou Changgui was.
So, faced with Zhou Changgui's pitiful appearance, although she subconsciously chose to believe him, it only took her a second or two before she quickly came to terms with reality.
She absolutely cannot trust someone like Zhou Changgui, who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals!
Thinking of this, Zhao Xuehui's performance was even more realistic than Zhou Changgui's.
"ah?"
Zhao Xuehui covered her mouth, her face filled with worry and anger: "They actually robbed us from a group of thugs! They really went too far!"
Zhao Defu, who was standing nearby, added appropriately, "Yes, but Second Sister, you don't need to worry too much. It's good that no one was hurt. The money was stolen, but at least we're still safe."
You are absolutely right.
Zhao Xuehui nodded upon hearing this, then said with a serious face, "But then again, such a serious incident happened in Tianzi Foot, I have to help call the police!"
"Okay, come with me, let's go to the police station and explain the situation. There should still be someone on duty there at this emergency!"
As Zhao Xuehui spoke, she grew increasingly angry. She grabbed Sun Chunjuan's wrist and walked forward while looking at Zhou Changgui.
Both of them had something to hide, and they shook their heads and spoke almost simultaneously.
"No, no need!"
The two spoke in unison. Zhao Xuehui sneered inwardly, but turned her head with a look of incomprehension.
"Why?! They've already stolen so much money. If we don't call the police and explain the situation, wouldn't that be letting these arrogant and unruly thugs off too easily?!"
Zhao Xuehui looked furious, while a hint of guilt flashed across Zhou Changgui's eyes. At this moment, he could only offer an explanation.
"Xuehui, I know you're worried. We were both angry with each other, but those thugs took advantage of the fact that this place is remote. When they heard someone coming, they turned and ran without leaving any trace!"
"yes!"
Sun Chunjuan quickly nodded in agreement: "Moreover, they were all wearing hats and masks, making them look exactly alike. We had no idea what they looked like. They've probably already run far away. Even if we call the police, we probably wouldn't know where they are now."
The two of them spoke in unison, as if they genuinely felt they had no choice but to suffer in silence.
Zhao Xuehui sneered inwardly, but kept her eyes on the scene before her, playing along. Suddenly, a hint of melancholy flashed across her eyes.
"That's true."
Zhao Xuehui forced a smile, her gaze quickly sweeping over Zhou Changgui and Sun Chunjuan, and said, "These little bastards don't even know what they look like, yet they rashly called the police. If someone in their inner circle finds out, they'll definitely gather more bastards and take revenge tonight."
After saying that, Zhao Xuehui nodded slightly to the two of them, as if she didn't want to say anything more.
"In that case, let's hurry back. It's getting late. Teacher Sun, you probably have to go to work tomorrow, right?"
Sun Chunjuan and Zhou Changgui both felt a pang of unease, sensing that something was amiss, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it.
Zhou Changgui, in particular, sensed Zhao Xuehui's sudden change in attitude. He subconsciously wanted to explain something, but Zhao Xuehui had already turned around and slowly walked forward.
Seeing this, Jiang Sheng knew he should step forward.
He quickly stepped forward, stood in front of Zhou Changgui, and shook his head helplessly at Zhou Changgui.
“Teacher Zhou, I know you are thinking about Teacher Sun’s reputation. After all, it’s late at night. Even if we all believe that the two teachers are innocent, it would not be appropriate to call the police.”
After these words were made clear, Zhou Changgui's heart sank instantly.
If Jiang Sheng hadn't suddenly reminded him, he really wouldn't have realized that the two of them standing together today looked particularly ambiguous.
Especially since it was so late at night, even if the two had only met by chance, Zhao Xuehui had witnessed them almost being robbed together. Any girl would probably not easily believe that he was innocent.
Zhou Changgui instantly understood, then looked at Zhao Xuehui's aggrieved back.
He panicked immediately and quickly gave Jiang Sheng a helpless, bitter smile.
“Xiao Jiang, things aren’t as you think. Professor Sun and I were just working overtime at school, writing our papers a bit late, so we met up for dinner. That’s all. We encountered this situation on our way back. It’s nothing like what your sister thinks…”
When Zhou Changgui explained this sentence, he deliberately made his voice very loud, as if he was afraid that Zhao Xuehui, who was not far away, would not be able to hear him.
After he finished explaining, Jiang Sheng seemed to understand, let out a long sigh, patted his chest, and looked like he had just had a close call.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness, Teacher Zhou, you're innocent! You have no idea how upset my second sister was just now. Why don't you go over and explain!"
After Jiang Sheng finished speaking, seemingly out of concern for Zhou Changgui, he even grabbed Zhou Changgui's arm and gave it a slight push forward.
Seeing Zhou Changgui's current situation and Jiang Sheng's relieved expression, Zhou Changgui felt a surge of pride.
It turns out that he had only regarded Jiang Sheng as his imaginary enemy before. In addition, this young man was young and impetuous and must be eager to become famous.
That's why he misunderstood the other party regarding the matter of poetry.
Unexpectedly, this guy wanted me to be with Zhao Xuehui more than anyone else. It seems he misunderstood Jiang Sheng back then.
Thinking of this, Zhou Changgui's expression softened considerably, and he quickly smiled gently at Jiang Shengwen.
"Thank you so much, Xiao Jiang. If it weren't for you, the misunderstanding between your sister and me would probably have gotten even deeper!"
Jiang Sheng smiled slightly, about to say something, when Sun Chunjuan, who had been silent all along, stepped forward with a kind smile on her face, while secretly sneering.
