Chapter 71 Beiyang County Jinrong School 15
(The previous typo has been corrected: Grandma asked Pandi if she had seen her older sister on TV.)
"Grandma said that tomorrow is my sister's first day of seventh grade, and there is no TV or cell phone at home."
"It's obvious that the grandmother I'm talking to on the phone is the same grandmother from three years ago."
"And the television news was reporting on my grandmother who passed away a week ago."
"I have to go and confirm tomorrow whether Grandma is really locked up."
"Was the dead person Chen Jing?"
"At this time of day, Grandma is still washing dishes; she's working to earn money to support her two daughters' schooling."
"But my grandmother is very old and has long passed retirement age."
"The exact time over there should be similar to here, which is why Grandma said she'd be back late tonight and not to wait for her."
"Is it possible that there are two grandmothers in this world, or even two Ning Zhaodi and Ning Pandi?"
"You have finished the simulation."
"Simulation complete! Current anomaly value: 55 points. Simulation duration: 10 minutes."
The simulation went smoothly, and Wen Qi dialed her grandmother's number.
Not long after, Grandma's voice came from over there.
Wen Qi asked first, "Grandma, what's the date today? I told you tomorrow is the first day of school, but my sister didn't believe me."
Grandma's voice was kind and warm as she scolded you, "You borrowed Grandma Wang's cell phone again? August 30, 1980, really. Your sister is so good at studying, but she can't remember this date."
Upon hearing this, you paused for a moment.
As expected, the time system at my grandmother's place is different from the time system here.
My grandmother lived almost three years ago; she lived in the past.
If the existence of the grandmother here is proven, then my guess was correct.
...
The next day, Wen Qi tidied up the house early and went out.
She needed to scout out the location of the police station in the county town beforehand, so that she could teleport there through the Ghostly Gate during her lunch break.
Although my maternal grandmother and her family of three belong to Beiyang County, it takes them twenty minutes to get to the city and then another ten minutes to get to the school.
As for the exact location of the police station, Wen Qi didn't know. She could only leave her house, hail a taxi on the main street, and go directly to the police station.
Having located the police station, she found a secluded spot and, in the shadows, used the Shadow Gate to teleport to the school's restroom.
There was still half an hour until 7 o'clock.
This was time that Wen Qi deliberately set aside to do her homework; she went to bed early last night.
Several students died during the first two classes this morning; they either couldn't answer questions or farted in class.
When it was time for exercise, Wen Qi was called to the middle school teachers' office.
It was bound to happen; Wen Qi had anticipated it.
Fan Ye and his sister will definitely file a complaint, even though they have no evidence.
The backgrounds of these two are still unknown, but we'll deal with whatever comes our way.
Wen Qi started the simulation before even stepping into the office.
"Simulation begins, mind astral projection."
"Follow Ning Pandi, the homeroom teacher, into the middle school office. All the teachers are inside, including Fan Ye and his sister."
"Fan Xian's cheeks were terribly swollen, and next to the two of them was a middle-aged man."
"The man was wearing a sharp suit that looked expensive, and he wore glasses; he was also very refined."
"Dad, it was her older sister who slapped her younger sister all over yesterday. She didn't come today; she must be hiding." Fan Ye stood up excitedly, pointing at you.
You calmly looked at everyone and said, "Do you have any evidence? You think you can just slander my sister because you have money? The whole class knows she's missing."
"Besides, almost the entire school knows that you and your brother bully my sister and me every day at school. We've put up with it for three years."
"Three years; the hardships I endured are beyond the comprehension of outsiders."
"You were only slapped a few times by others; the pain you suffered is nothing compared to what my sister went through. You're slandering me without any evidence."
"It's all just your excuse."
Fan Ye: "After your sister hit us, she probably went to see the homeroom teacher. The homeroom teacher wouldn't lie."
"The homeroom teacher of Class 893 is also resting in the office."
"It's less about taking a break and more about him anticipating this situation and not supervising his classmates' morning exercises."
"Fan Ye asked expectantly, "Teacher, although Ning Zhaodi didn't come to class yesterday, did she come to see you in the afternoon?"
"He desperately wants the homeroom teacher to give you the answer right away, to slap you in the face and make you take all the blame."
"It was me who went to see your homeroom teacher yesterday, not my sister," you retorted, then explained, "I was just asking the teacher if he had any news about my sister."
The portly principal, seated in the main seat, said with an air of authority, "You lot, please quiet down. The school will investigate this matter thoroughly."
The principal's eyes flashed with ruthlessness as he addressed the homeroom teacher of Class 893: "Tell me, what is your understanding of the situation?"
"It's as if my sister's homeroom teacher would eat her alive if she said anything wrong."
"You know this principal definitely has ill intentions towards you, but you have no proof."
"I don't know what's going on with his son, I need to find out."
The homeroom teacher of Class 893 said frankly and without any attempt to hide anything, "The person who came to see me yesterday was indeed Ning Pandi."
"She doesn't know anything about her grandmother's condition or where Ning Zhaodi is, so she can only come to me for help."
"She's a pitiful person too; she'll be sent to an orphanage soon."
"After the homeroom teacher finished speaking, the principal and Fan Ye's father both looked very unhappy."
"The two of them spoke so convincingly about Fan Ye and Fan Xian being beaten, it didn't seem like a lie."
Fan Ye and Fan Xian immediately put on a stern face, their tone extremely impolite, "Dad, Uncle Chen, the teacher is definitely protecting Ning Zhaodi. Ning Zhaodi is a good student, and the homeroom teacher always talks to her a lot."
"Xian'er, don't worry, Dad will stand up for you."
"Principal: 'Ning Pandi, although there's no evidence to prove your sister hit the person, there's also no evidence to prove it wasn't your sister.'"
"So you will both accept your punishment. Your sister violated school rules multiple times. Although she wasn't there, she should have been expelled long ago. Today, you will apologize to Fan Xian and Fan Ye on your sister's behalf, and that will be the end of this matter."
You looked at the principal with some resentment. "Impossible. Why should I apologize? What about what happened to my sister?"
"Just as you refused, Fan Ye stepped forward and slammed a stack of photos in front of the teachers. 'Ning Pandi, don't push your luck. If you ask me, you should be expelled too. You and your sister are both promiscuous.'"
