Chapter 17 Shameless

"It wasn't until the night when the security guards were on patrol that they didn't find me. That day, I didn't dare to go home. I just told my parents that I went to live at a classmate's house."

"But in fact, I secretly went to the hotel to stay for one night."

"Have you asked your teacher for help?"

Hearing these words, Zhao Xiaoxiao suddenly became silent, and the hand holding the snack bag slightly exerted force, and the fingertips turned white, "I have."

Suddenly, Zhao Xiaoxiao's thoughts began to drift away, and it seemed that Sun Zehao's face appeared in front of her eyes again. That face was the most familiar yet strange to her, and she held her head in pain.

Seeing this, Qiao Yuchuan got up and squatted opposite her, raised his hand and touched the top of her head lightly, "Follow my breathing and adjust."

Zhao Xiaoxiao looked up at Qiao Yuchuan, tried to follow his breathing, inhaled and exhaled, her body trembled unconsciously, and it took a long time before she gradually calmed down and was able to breathe steadily.

"I don't want to be the squad leader anymore, so I went to find him, but I didn't expect him, he actually..."

Zhao Xiaoxiao's lips turned white and trembled, "He was wearing gloves, pulling my hair, covering my mouth and nose, I couldn't breathe at all, I just felt dizzy, I thought he was going to kill me I."

"He asked me if I wanted to be monitor and if I would be obedient."

"I was so scared that I could only nod my head."

"Later, I gradually discovered that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't change the status quo, I couldn't even change my grades, I was always the bottom ten."

"At that time, I realized that this is not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that even this grade is given to me by them."

Speaking of this, Zhao Xiaoxiao hugged the snacks in her arms tightly, "I couldn't take it anymore, I couldn't sleep all night, and my hair fell out a lot, until one day, I suddenly passed out, and my parents took I didn’t know I was sick until I was sent to the hospital.”

"My parents went to school to ask for an explanation, and when they came back, they asked me if I had stolen the papers for the monthly exam."

"The teacher told them that I stole the papers for the monthly exam. In order to prevent me from being accused of stealing, he turned a blind eye and gave me a chance to enter the elite class."

"My parents didn't argue for my reputation. After all, I don't have any evidence to prove that I didn't steal."

"In the end, even my parents didn't believe me, it's just that they were worried about my health and didn't speak out."

Zhao Xiaoxiao said, looking straight at Qiao Yuchuan, "But Mr. Qiao, I really didn't steal the paper, I really didn't."

"I've explained it to countless people, but none of them believed me."

Qiao Yuchuan reached out and patted her shoulder lightly, "Teacher believes in you."

Qiao Yuchuan's words of "believe" made Zhao Xiaoxiao's eyes glow with infinite light. Only she knew the answer to this question, but no one believed her numerous statements. She was already in despair, but now she has hope.

"Do you know Zhao Ketao?"

Hearing this name, Zhao Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and nodded vigorously, "I was admitted to the elite class in a monthly exam in the first year of high school, and Zhao Ketao was in that class at that time."

"It was he who locked me in the women's toilet and poured dirty water all over me, and he was the one who put dead mice in my schoolbag and abused and mocked me."

Listening to Zhao Xiaoxiao's description, Qiao Yuchuan narrowed his eyes, "Then you know who Zhao Ketao is best with or listens to the most."

Zhao Xiaoxiao thought about it carefully, "People in the class don't usually communicate much, and I haven't seen anyone who Zhao Ketao usually gets close to. If I had to say it, it would probably be Wang Ran and Li Bei."

"What kind of person is Li Bei usually?"

Zhao Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, "He usually seldom talks, and the whole person gives me a feeling that I can't describe it, just, it's very scary."

"Has he hurt you?" Qiao Yuchuan asked softly.

Zhao Xiaoxiao shook her head, "No, when Zhao Ketao and Wang Ran bullied me before, he always watched from the sidelines and never made a move."

"Do you know Zhu Can?"

Zhao Xiaoxiao nodded when she heard the name, with a rare smile on her face, "Zhu Can is a transfer student. When he first came to school, many classmates went to watch him. After all, he looks good and studies well. It’s a very enviable object.”

"Later, when I entered the elite class, he was the only one who helped me. That time I was doused in sewage, and he borrowed the school uniform for me the next day."

"He can get No.1 in every exam. Sun Zehao thinks highly of him, and his classmates also admire him."

"Although he usually doesn't communicate with people very much, he is really a good person."

After sending Zhao Xiaoxiao home, Qiao Yuchuan sat in the car with a recording pen. Zhao Xiaoxiao's words made him fall into deep thought. He had basically figured out the whole process of the whole thing, but he always felt that something was missing.

Qiao Yuchuan drove back to the Municipal Bureau, sorted out the recording materials, and came outside the interrogation room. Jiang Chengyun took the materials that Qiao Yuchuan had sorted out, frowning tightly.

"This Sun Zehao is very careful. He will wear gloves when he does it, and he will also be very careful not to leave obvious wounds on the opponent's body. The methods are very secretive." Qiao Yuchuan said.

Jiang Chengyun sighed deeply. During this time, Wang Zhen and Sun Zehao stayed at home obediently without any unusual behavior.

"He Lang, bring Wang Zhen and Sun Zehao to trial immediately."

"Peng Ran, immediately take someone to Sun Zehao's home and office to collect materials."

Sitting in the interrogation room, Wang Zhen looked at He Lang opposite, with a somewhat helpless expression, "This police officer, I have said everything I need to say before."

"Principal Wang, are you sure you've said everything?" He Lang looked at Wang Zhen sharply, and said pointedly.

Wang Zhen's eyes flickered, and he stumbled for a long time and said, "I, I said everything."

"Then ask Principal Wang to explain why there is an overseas account that remits millions of dollars to you every year." He Lang asked with the transaction slip in his hand.

This is what Peng Ran quickly found out just now. Wang Zhen's name gets millions of dollars from this overseas account every year, and the fund transactions are very secretive. It is impossible to find out without in-depth investigation.

When Wang Zhen heard this, panic appeared in his eyes, and He Lang squinted his eyes, "Wang Zhen, you became the principal of Ancheng High School four years ago, and the school's anti-theft network was installed only after you came."

"In the past few years when you have been the principal, there have been five incidents of self-injured students dropping out of Ancheng High School. You have nothing to say about these?"

Following He Lang's question, cold sweat broke out from Wang Zhen's forehead, "I, I don't know what you are talking about."

"Officer, I am really innocent, all I do is for the development of the school, I really do it for the school wholeheartedly.

"The anti-theft network is worried about students being injured, self-harming and dropping out of school, that's quite normal, students are under too much pressure to study..."

"These five people all dropped out of school after entering the elite class, and the school also came forward to solve it. Now you say, don't you know?"

"If you don't know, can you explain to me, what did you do after receiving that money!" He Lang asked in a deep voice.

Wang Zhen's eyes drifted, and he gritted his teeth for a while, "I just followed the instructions, and selected the test scores every three to five times, and arranged a student from the ordinary class to enter the elite class."

"I haven't done anything else, and I really don't know anything." Wang Zhen said in a panic.

"Who and how did he give the order?" He Lang asked.

Wang Zhen pursed his lips, "You also know that Ancheng High School is a private high school. Although I am the principal, I still have to listen to investors."

"Who are the investors?"

"General Manager of Fenghe International, Zhou Zhengke."

"Arrange someone to ask Zhou Zhengke for questioning right away." Jiang Chengyun stood outside the one-way glass, squinting at Wang Zhen.

"What's going on at Subei's end?"

"Still asking questions." Feng Xue said.

Jiang Chengyun walked out and came to Sun Zehao's interrogation room. Qiao Yuchuan was standing outside the glass and looking in. Jiang Chengyun walked over a few steps, "How is it?"

"almost."

After Qiao Yuchuan's words fell, Su Bei played a piece of Zhao Xiaoxiao's testimony, "Sun Zehao, can you explain to me, when Zhao Xiaoxiao asked you to refuse to be the monitor, what did you say, that is what you deserved?" mean?"

Sun Zehao's eyes flickered slightly, and he licked his lips with his tongue, "That's the result of the class election, of course she deserves it, besides, the election is fair and open, there is no problem."

"They are all very convinced of her, and they spontaneously elected her as monitor, I can't stop it, can I?" Sun Zehao said seriously.

"Then, can you explain, how did you know that Zhao Xiaoxiao stole the monthly exam papers." Su Bei asked in a deep voice.

"The monthly exam papers were stolen, and Zhao Xiaoxiao happened to have excellent grades that time. I have a reasonable suspicion." Sun Zehao said coldly.

"You said such righteous words, then let me ask you, since you have suspected it for a long time, why didn't you say it earlier, didn't notify the school to organize an investigation, but let Zhao Xiaoxiao enter the elite class, ignoring everything she encountered, until the other party wanted to drop out of school, That's why you threatened the parents with this." Su Bei questioned.

Sun Zehao pushed his glasses for a while after hearing the words, "Officer, what do you mean now? I did this for her own good. If I say it, she will completely lose her chance to be in the elite class."

"I'm not threatening the parents. I'm just protecting the interests of the school. Parents think that the school's education has caused problems for their children. Then I should let them know what their children have done."

"It can't be the child's own problem. In turn, the school needs to be responsible."

"Shameless." Feng Xue stood aside and restrained herself from speaking.

Jiang Chengyun looked at the excited Sun Zehao inside, anger welled up in his eyes, Qiao Yuchuan reached out and tugged at his sleeve, Jiang Chengyun came back to his senses, Qiao Yuchuan looked at him.
