“Oh, yes there is. Xie Jing suddenly came back last night, even though it was raining so heavily,” the village chief said.
“Xie Jing, explain to us why you didn’t stay in the dormitory last night and suddenly came home?” the dean questioned.
“My father fell sick last night! Cui Hua came to school to look for me! I came home to see my father!” Xie Jing explained.
Last night, after he went to the experimental field to take a look, he stayed out past the dormitory curfew. He had nowhere to go after that, so he went home. He did not expect Qiao Mei to be able to discover such details.
“In that case, tell me, what evidence do you have to prove that Qiao Mei sent these strawberry plants to your house late at night?” the principal asked.
Xie Jing and Cui Hua had nothing to say. They were already feeling guilty, so the more they tried to explain, the messier the situation became.
“In that case, let’s get the police to come! The matter has already reached such a serious stage. I think we can hand it over to the police and let them make a decision so that they can uphold justice for me!” Qiao Mei shouted.
No one knew where Cui Hua had gone during this additional hour and Wang Wei could not remember the exact time when Cui Hua came to look for him.
Many people testified that they saw Cui Hua walking towards the glass greenhouse. There were also some classmates who testified that Xie Jing was not in the dormitory last night and that Xie Jings shoes were muddy when he returned. All the roads in Capital University were very flat and made of stone, so Xie Jing must have gone inside the experimental field.
There was solid evidence with both witnesses and physical proof. Xie Jing could no longer escape. He looked at Cui Hua anxiously and whispered, “Cui Hua! You know the truth! We were together the whole time! Save me! Save me! Tell the principal the truth!”
This time round, Cui Hua was not as determined to save Xie Jing as before. This was because the principal had just told her that Xie Jing would be expelled for such actions.
Now that so many people had witnessed Xie Jing destroying Qiao Mei’s spot in the field, there was already irrefutable evidence. Even if she took the blame for it, who would believe her? Qiao Mei’s family background was so strong and she was on good terms with Wu Duo. They would definitely not let Xie Jing off this time. Xie Jing would not have a chance to make a comeback. In that case, why should she get involved in this mess?
It did not matter if Xie Jing was expelled. She still had a chance to get into university! She did not want to take the blame and be seen as Xie Jings accomplice and then lose her right to enter university in the future.
Cui Hua was not that stupid. At moments like this, people would choose to protect themselves and run far away in the face of disaster.
“Principal! I was forced by him! I had no other choice! If I don’t listen to him...
he... he will come home and beat me up! I’ve already been chased out of the house by my parents! I have nowhere to go! If I don’t listen to him, I’ll be homeless! Principal, you must understand my situation!” Cui Hua said and sobbed as she grabbed the principal’s hand..
