Chapter 94: Jiang Xue Intercepts the Police Report
Su Ni spun on Shen Xi, shouting angrily, "You don’t have to get sarcastic with me! If I say I didn’t do it, then I didn’t. If you insist on blaming me, I’ll laugh and call you blind. You will be the one to hurt next time, you fool!"
"Hah! You still have the nerve to scream and shout!" Zhao Yuan rolled up her sleeves and was about to give Su Ni a lesson in humility when Shen Xi stopped her.
Su Ni’s outburst did not anger Shen Xi. Instead, she offered her a piece of advice out of the goodness of her heart, "If you didn’t do it, you could always file a report with the police. I’ve heard the police station has the technology to verify fingerprints and call access."
"Since the cell phone appeared in our class, the perpetrator must have been in our class recently. The scope of the investigation isn’t too large, so something should turn up if they launch an investigation as soon as possible."
Shen Xi’s words were a bolt from the blue, bringing clarity to Su Ni’s panic-addled mine. Since she was innocent, she could seek help from the police to clear her name, couldn’t she?
On the other hand, Jiang Xue was petrified by the possibility of Su Ni going to the police. When her homeroom teacher used Peach’s phone to call her, she immediately chucked her phone under the desk beside her. She did not have the presence of mind to realise it was Su Ni’s table.
If Su Ni sought help from the police, and they checked the phone for fingerprints, Jiang Xue knew she would not be able to escape.
Meanwhile, Su Ni had picked up her phone and was about to call the police to file a report.
Jiang Xue was so anxious she lept forward, grabbing hold of Su Ni’s hand as she whispered, "If the culprit isn’t found even after you’ve called the police, you’ll be punished not only by the school but be held captive by the police until they extract a confession out of you. Please reconsider. Why would Shen Xi offer you advice when you’ve harmed her? This is very likely a ploy to get you carted off to jail!"
Su Ni felt her heart skip a beat. Already beset by anxiety over her situation, Jiang Xue’s words added to her fluster. She did not want to be sent to jail!
