Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, someone threw something at He Jing—an unopened mineral water bottle. Wu Yu, who was sitting in the front row, exclaimed, "Sister Jing, get out of the way!"
He Jing remained unmoved, as if she were terrified.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and everyone thought a bloody incident was about to occur.
However--
Thud—
The mineral water bottle was kicked away in mid-air.
Almost no one saw how He Jing moved. The mineral water bottle flew back in the direction it came from and hit the person who threw it squarely on the forehead, knocking him unconscious and causing him to collapse to the ground.
In an instant, everyone gasped, and the hairs on the back of their necks stood on end.
He Jing glanced coldly at the stunned students, her voice still soft and pleasant: "I'm sorry, I will not apply for withdrawal from school, nor will I leave this school."
Who would dare to mention this now?
The clamor and condemnation that had just been building subsided at a rate that was almost visible to the naked eye.
Sun Chaoyang also became as quiet as a chicken.
Zhang Man stammered, "Even if you threaten me with force, it won't change the facts..."
“The facts will not change.” He Jing glanced at her coolly, “but what exactly happened is uncertain.”
Suddenly, Cheng Yi had a very bad feeling. She secretly tugged at Liu Sisi's sleeve, wanting her to call the person back.
However, before the two could communicate, the identity document that Liu Sisi had purchased arrived.
He was a sleazy-looking young man who didn't look honest at all.
Cheng Yi had no choice but to shut up and let the charade continue. She silently prayed that nothing would go wrong. Liu Sisi stepped forward and said to the man, "Repeat what you told me a couple of days ago to everyone."
The witness had memorized the script very diligently, but when Liu Sisi asked him a question, he immediately looked embarrassed and said, "This...this is not good. I've already taken the money, I can't go back on my word."
Liu Sisi said, "Do you want to see an innocent girl framed and wronged? I heard you used to be a security guard at Yin Gao, you should know how difficult it is to get into Yin Gao."
"Ah, this..."
"If you tell the truth, I'll give you double the money."
The witness finally revealed a hint of interest.
He hesitated, opening his mouth as if searching for courage to bravely expose an evil deed. Just as everyone was patiently waiting for him to speak, He Jing, standing under the light, suddenly said, "Don't worry, He Jing isn't here."
Liu Sisi knew something was wrong and quickly tried to stop the witness from speaking, but it was too late. The witness said, "Actually, you've already told the truth. It was He Jing who made me rig the votes."
Everyone: "..."
He Jing: "...Pfft."
Cheng Yi's face suddenly turned extremely ugly.
She pinched Liu Sisi's hand hard, and Liu Sisi frantically hinted, "Could it be that you remembered wrong? Maybe that person's name isn't He Jing, but Zhao Jing?"
The witness paused for a moment, thinking that the script wasn't written this way, and it seemed he would have to pay more later. Then he answered firmly, "No, it must be He Jing. The pronunciation of 'He' is very unique, and I couldn't possibly be wrong."
Liu Sisi was so angry she wanted to hit someone, cursing in her heart: This idiot!
She had long forgotten that she had repeatedly instructed him that no matter how others denied it, he must insist in front of everyone that it was He Jing.
He Jing glanced at Liu Sisi and chuckled, "Then why did she ask you to vote for me?"
The witness stared at He Jing suspiciously for a moment, then recalled what Liu Sisi had said: Cheng Yi was prettier than average, and He Jing was quite pretty, much prettier than the two girls next to Liu Sisi. So he mistook He Jing for Cheng Yi and said passionately and arrogantly, "She said you stole her parents and will make you taste the bitterness of being disgraced. Once Yin Gao expels you, your parents will definitely take her back."
"Oh, she's really wicked."
"That's right."
...
The teachers and students struggled to suppress their laughter, almost mistaking the farce for a comedy.
Their gazes toward Liu Sisi were meaningful. Liu Sisi's face turned pale. Cheng Yi finally couldn't hold back any longer and broke down, shouting, "I am Cheng Yi!"
The witness's mind went blank for a moment before he came to his senses and pointed at He Jing, asking, "Then who is she?"
He Jing smiled slightly: "I am He Jing."
