213 213 A Thief Shouting To Catch Another Thief

Tan Rou’s skin was very sensitive; a slight touch would bruise it. Li Jia’s grip was not light earlier, so it must have left a deep red mark.

“Heavens, how much strength did she use to cause such a mark?”

“I’m afraid her hand is going to break.”

The ability of those people to change sides with the wind and be fence-sitters was truly exceptional.

“I didn’t, and I just grabbed it lightly!” Li Jia didn’t expect Tan Rou’s hand to be in this state. She had only grabbed it lightly; how could there be such a deep mark?

“What a joke. If you weren’t the one who did this, did Xiao Rou try to break her own hand for fun? I’m afraid it might have broken!” Li Li quickly spoke up,

“I really didn’t do that. If you don’t believe me, you can try it yourself! I didn’t use that much strength.” Li Jia helplessly tried to prove her innocence. “You have to believe me!”

“What else do you have to say?” Tan Rou showed her red and swollen arm. “If it wasn’t you, did I deliberately make my arm like this to frame you? There were so many of them in class who witnessed it. Who would believe you if you said you didn’t do it?”

“I didn’t!” Li Jia didn’t know what to say to clear her name.

“Just because you say so.” Tan Rou sneered, saying, “Then wouldn’t the world be a mess? Can you convict someone just because one said they killed and murdered someone else? You’re saying that you didn’t do this to my arm, and I am saying I didn’t hit Tan Jing. Would you believe me?”

Li Jia wasn’t in the right state of mind. “I didn’t do this to you!”

“Then I didn’t hit Tan Jing.” Tan Rou said, “You’re already talking nonsense when we have so many witnesses here. Without a witness, my reputation would have been completely ruined because of you. You have the freedom of speech and are saying anything you want to!”

Li Li quickly helped by saying, “That’s right, that’s right! So many of us saw it with our eyes, but you didn’t want to admit it. Is there anyone of you who are actually honest?!”

“Tan Rou really hit me!” Tan Jing shouted.

Tan Rou asked, “Did anyone see it? Where’s your witness?”

“Witness? Witness!” No surveillance cameras were on the stairs, and no one was there at the time, so Tan Jing couldn’t find anyone to help her prove it.

“If you’re willing to believe in Tan Jing, then believe in her words.” Tan Rou stopped arguing with them. “But, don’t be used as a knife by others. Don’t simply believe whatever others are saying.”

This time, the fence-sitters in the office started to be on both sides again.

“What Tan Rou said makes sense. There were no surveillance cameras at that time. Who can prove that she hit Tan Jing? ”

“That’s right. So many people were watching just now, but Li Jia didn’t admit it. They might have made it up to deceive us.”

“Well, we’re still in school. Tan Rou didn’t have to beat up Tan Jing here, right?”

“Forget it! Let’s not bother about it. We’re not the ones getting beaten up anyway. There’s no need for us to be so uptight.”

This was the result Tan Rou wanted. She wanted Tan Jing to suffer a beating without being able to show her misery. She wanted Tan Jing to grit her teeth and swallow the bitter fruit.

Xu Yan quietly took a tube of ointment. “It’s to reduce the swelling.”

Li Li also took out her glass bottle and filled it with cold water for Tan Rou to ice her arm.

Lu Qing went out for a while. Not long after, he brought a cotton swab and disinfectant to her. “Wash it first to avoid any infection.”

Tan Jing looked at the disinfectant Lu Qing bought and said, “Thank you. How much was it? I’ll pay you back.”

Lu Qing saw that Tan Rou treated him like an outsider and couldn’t help but feel slightly disappointed. However, when he heard Tan Rou say that she would transfer it to him, he thought it would be good to add her on WeChat.

“6.80 Yuan.” He deliberately included the decimals. “Just add me on WeChat and transfer it to me.”

“Just use the QR code to receive the payment.” Tan Rou unlocked her phone. “Open the QR code for your payment.”

Lu Qing didn’t know what else to say. He could only open the QR code and watch her transfer 6.80 Yuan.

He thought, ‘ since you can transfer the money, can’t you just add me on WeChat? How much effort would that take?’

It was bustling here over at Tan Rou’s, but on the other hand, there was no one around to buy medicine for Tan Jing, whose face was swollen and Li Jia, who had injured her hand on the ground. Even Tan Jing’s usual little followers had forgotten to help treat Tan Jing. They were more focused on taking more nonsense by the side of the classroom.

Tan Jing’s fingernails almost dug into his flesh, “Tan Rou, you will pay the price!!!”

“Li Jia, can you lend me your phone and account?” Tan Jing said.

Li Jia didn’t understand. “Jing Jing, why are you using my account so frequently?”

Tan Jing lied to her, “Didn’t I tell you? My account has been maliciously reported. Also, my phone is out of battery. I’ll lend it to you and pay you back later.”

Li Jia didn’t doubt her. “Alright, here you go.”

Tan Jing went out with Li Jia’s phone.

Tan Rou thought, ‘It seems like I would have to go all out.’
