Chapter 507: Qiao Mu Private High School

Seven days later, the opening of the school, the students came to the school in a state of disarray, the results of the senior pep rally will be held that afternoon, the class suddenly a wail.

After class, Bao Kangle suddenly walks up to Bai Liu's desk and stiffens, "Bai Liu ...... you come out with me for a minute."

Bai Liu glanced up at the bulging "slab" on Bao Kangle's chest, "Going somewhere?"

"...... The men's restroom over by the teachers' office." Bao Kangle said in a shaky voice, "The teachers have all gone down for a meeting, there's no one there, and there's no surveillance."

"Uh-huh." Bai Liu got up with a flat expression, "Let's go then."

The restroom in the teacher's office is really empty, and Bao Kangle, who seems to be a frequent visitor to the restroom, familiarly brings Bai Liu to the last stall in the restroom, and then takes a deep breath and hands Bai Liu something wrapped in his arms.

"Twenty thousand dollars." Bao Kangle hands are shaking, "...... my mom received from the principal, it should be this amount, you count it."

Bai Liu nodded briefly, "It's this amount."

He turned coldly away after that, but Bao Kangle called out to him hesitantly, "Bai Liu!"

Bai Liu turned his head, "Anything else?"

"I stole this money ...... from you." Bao Kangle said with red eyes, his whole body shaking, "If, if my mom finds out ......"

He gulped and looked blearily at Bai Liu: "I'm not going to give you up either, and you're not going to say anything, okay?"

Meanwhile, the teachers' office.

Xu Wei had already gone down to take care of the grounds, but she didn't know why, but her right eye started to throb wildly, and she started to get a little distracted and dizzy, so she propped herself up on the handrail and went back to the teacher's office, but as soon as she pushed open the office, and had just sat down on the chair at her desk, her cell phone rang.

Xu Wei's heart skipped a beat as she subconsciously picked up, "Hello?"

A slow man's voice came out of the phone, "Mr. Xu, I'm not very satisfied with how you've done things this time."

--is the principal.

Xu Wei's breathing became rapid, "...... What's wrong, Principal?"

"In order for you to investigate the matter of Bai Liu in your class, I paid you a hundred thousand dollars deposit in advance, right?" The principal said in a cold voice, "But your son investigated for half a day and nothing came out of it, not a single clue was given to me, not even an excuse that could get this troublemaker out of school."

"Then our cooperation ends here."

Xu Wei snapped, her voice rising, "Headmaster, that's not what you told me in the beginning!"

"You clearly said that the two and a half million dollars would all be given to me as soon as I backed Bai Liu out of Gao Gao Lake!"

"Is that what I told you?" The principal said nonchalantly, "Why don't I remember?"

Xu Wei froze in place in a trance.

The principal said in a serious tone, "Mr. Xu, you're still young, there are plenty of opportunities to get money."

"One hundred thousand I do not pursue, as a waste of money, the previous things or you know me, God knows, do a good job."

"Click." --Principal hung up.

Xu Wei fell to the ground in a trance.

The hundred thousand dollars she put up all last weekend, put a couple thousand at home, and she took the rest and spent it all.

Bought a lot of clothes and bags she'd wanted for a long time, as well as skincare products and high heels, those were the latest hits that she'd held back for a long time because of her previous drop in income, her neighbors and colleagues around her all had them, even the poor, poor biology teacher in the class next door, but she was the only one who didn't have them!

She was the fastest to replace these every time before!

And she thought at that time, soon to be in the hands of two and a half million, they spend this amount of money is nothing, spend at all did not keep hands, basically what is expensive to buy.

Xu Wei took a deep breath, and with some rare regret that she had spent the money so quickly, she called her husband in a panic: "Hey ...... are you home? You see how much money is left in that paper bag of mine on the nightstand?"

"Ten thousand dollars? How come there's only ten thousand dollars left?!"

The husband spoke with a grumble, "You bought 90,000 dollars worth of stuff?"

"How can it be! I only bought seventy thousand dollars worth of stuff!" Xu Wei screamed hysterically, "There's still twenty thousand left! Did you take it and use it!"

Before spending money to buy things, sixty or seventy thousand together to spend out she does not hurt, now to pay back, less a penny are like plucking out her meat.

"Who uses your money!?" The husband was also angry, "I know you look at money to death and haven't touched yours!"

As he spoke, his husband's voice rose as if he had reacted to something: "Didn't you say you had left 50,000 yuan to pay this quarter's mortgage? How come you spent seventy thousand dollars! The mortgage will be deducted soon this month, you fucking ......"

"I've left thirty thousand dollars!" Xu Wei interrupted her husband, "There's still 20,000 left!"

"How should I know!" The husband yelled and then his voice calmed down as if he had suddenly come to his senses, "Wait a minute, Bao Kangle came in this room this morning and left with his back bowed and what looked like he was carrying something in his arms."

"Kang Le?" Xu Wei slowly stood up, her eyes looking as if she was somehow guided towards the still lit teacher's office restroom.

At this point, all the teachers have gone down, so the restrooms are ......

Xu Wei hung up his cell phone and walked over with a wobble.

Outside the men's restroom, Xu Wei pauses as she hears a shaky male voice:

"Don't ever let my mom find out I lost a bet with you and took her twenty thousand dollars for you."

"She watches her money so closely that she'll go crazy if she realizes her 20,000 is gone."

Xu Wei slowly turns her head, her eyes bloodshot, looking straight at Bao Kangle as she pulls the paper bag out of her arms and hands it to Bai Liu.

And Bai Liu took it with an unusual attitude, "Uh-huh."

"What are you ......" Xu Wei burst out, the features on her face twitching, her expression almost twisted, "doing?!"

Bao Kangle blanched, "Mom, why are you up here!"

Fifteen minutes later.

The students looked curiously at the office where the woman's mournful hissing and angry curses kept coming from, and at the teachers who kept walking past in the corridor, looking at each other and discussing in whispers:

"What's happening at ......? Not going down to the meeting?"

"The meeting was delayed, said a student stole money from a teacher and is looking into it, tens of thousands of dollars."

"That voice seems to be Mr. Xu from class 17, right?"

"Was it her money that was stolen?"

"Who's got the nerve to steal a teacher's money?"

In the men's restroom in the teacher's office, the paper bag wrapped around the money was torn to shreds, red hundred-dollar bills fell all over the floor, and the restroom looked like it had been through a big battle, with the door all smashed open, leaving a few marks kicked out by the heels on the door.

The red-eyed Xu Wei was pulled away by several male teachers, but she continued to point at Bai Liu, who was standing at the far end of the men's restroom, cursing, "Bai Liu, how much money did you force our Bao Kangle to give you!"

"Have you been schoolyard bullying him and forcing him to give you money!"

"Are you fucking dumb! Say it! How much money! Give it all back!"

Bao Kangle was jittery, he stood to one side, looking at his stopped mom while looking at Bai Liu who didn't say a word, and whispered, "Mom, it's not like that, I didn't give him a lot of money, this 20,000 dollars I just ......"

"It's for me." Bai Liu looked up calmly, "He lost a bet with me, and the chips were these twenty thousand dollars."

Xu Wei was briefly quiet for a moment, but soon, realizing that with the principal around, there was no way Bai Liu could have stabbed out the matter of Gao Kao Lake, she turned her head violently as if she had found some train of thought, turning her head straight to look at Bao Kangle next to her :

"Bai Liu forced you, didn't he! He made you bet with him!"

Bao Kangle looks up at his mom in shock, "No mom, it's you ......"

Xu Wei rudely interrupted Bao Kangle, a kind of neurotic greed in her eyes, "If it's determined that Bai Liu forced you to make a bet with him, and forced you to come and steal my money to give to him, an amount as large as twenty thousand dollars, then he's breaking the law, and he must be withdrawn from school, and can even be reported to the police to send him in."

If she can get Bai Liu to drop out of school, then she'll be accountable to the principal for the two and a half million ......

Xu Wei's chest heaved violently as she pressed Bao Kangle, "Isn't it!"

For a moment, everyone's eyes fall on Bao Kangle's face, who takes two fearful steps back, his eyes darting between Bai Liu and Xu Wei as he too realizes what's going on.

If he didn't admit that Bai Liu had forced him to do all this, the matter would be trivialized, and he would at most get beaten up by his mother, and the whole thing would be cleared up.

If he admits now that Bai Liu forced him to do all this, then he can get away with it, but Bai Liu is going to ......

Bao Kangle subconsciously looked at Bai Liu.

Bai Liu was also looking at him, just like he was looking at Bao Kangle who was struggling in the water that night, Bai Liu's eyes and expression were very calm, not showing any emotion at all.

Bao Kangle, who finished struggling in the water, got Bai Liu's outstretched hand. Will Bao Kangle, who is struggling now, reach out and push Bai Liu down into the lake?

"Mom." Bao Kangle shuddered and spoke, he looked at Bai Liu, "It was myself, it really wasn't Bai Liu who forced ......"

In the middle of his sentence, a sharp stabbing pain suddenly came from the back of his neck right in the center, and Bao Kangle's eyes suddenly went blank, interrupting what he was saying.

A blood spot appeared on the back of Bao Kangle's neck, and a half-finger-long transparent puppet silk could be seen in that blood spot, trembling slightly, as if someone was manipulating this puppet silk through the air.

--One end of the puppet silk that Bai Liu pierced through the back of Bao Kangle's neck earlier is left inside Bao Kangle's body.

Bao Kangle In a trance, he seemed to hear that god again that night, the man gazing longingly at Bai Liu's departing northern plains, whispering in his ear in a low, laughing voice:

[Bai Liu, people like you who do good and choose not to kill Bao Kangle will suffer retribution.]

The puppet silk behind Bao Kangle's back trembled, his mind instantly went blank, he raised his hand and pointed at Bai Liu with slack eyes: "Yes, that's right, it's Bai Liu who forced me to steal money and gamble!"

"He forced me to gamble and said he'd kill me if I didn't pay! And he forced me to jump in the high school lake and almost drowned me!"

"He's a murderer!"

At 3:00 p.m. in the playground, the pep rally, which had been delayed for more than half an hour, still went off without a hitch.

This time, however, it was not the extraordinarily talented students who spoke at the beginning.

The students below had sensed something was wrong when they watched a whole bunch of teachers and even the principal surround a student coming out, the student was pushed and shoved by a group of people and pushed to the bottom of the flag stand, covering his face so that he couldn't see it, but every teacher around him was reprimanding him harshly and there was even a teacher who was on the side to call the police.

Dian Fang, who was sitting in the line of students below, looked at the situation and had a very bad feeling in her heart, she looked around and casually pulled a student who was coming from under the flag stand, "Who is that student under the flag stand?"

"Sister Dot." When the student saw that the person who was holding him back was Fang Dian, he didn't hear the words clearly and thought that she was asking about Lu Yizhan, so he subconsciously replied, "The student under the flag stand is not Lu Yizhan, Lu Yizhan took a leave of absence, he said that he had to go to do something, and he hasn't come back yet, so it's not him who is going to speak on the stage. It was not him who spoke on the stage."

"I know, I was the one who spoke on stage, but I haven't been notified to go up yet." Dian Fang raised her chin, "So ask you what's up with that student."

"That student ah." This student hill superior class, said subconsciously a bit disgusted, "ordinary class, it is said that it seems to be gambling with the same classmates also forced the same classmates to steal money to him, more than 20,000 yuan, but it happens to be this student is a teacher's son, was found out, and now the police are investigating, said that we have to give the first withdrawal disciplinary action."

Fang Dian's heart raced as she asked, "What's the student's name?"

"Bai Liu," the man answered her.

Without looking back, Dian Fang made a mad dash for the flagstaff.

Bai Liu was stuffed with a freshly printed review by a group of teachers and pushed up to the flag stand, where the principal stood by with a grip on his shoulder and a microphone, his face feigning gloom, "Students, teachers, before we have the pep rally, we have a major disciplinary announcement to make."

"Bai Liu, a student in the 37th class of high school, who is not enterprising and takes the wrong path, forced his classmates to gamble for an amount of more than ten thousand dollars. "

"It's hard to imagine that a place like our Qiao Mu High School, which is dedicated to learning and teaching, can teach such students! This is a disgrace to Qiao Mu High School!"

The principal took a deep breath, "So, as a form of punishment, we will be expelling the student from school."

"- We will keep this sanction on the file of Bai Liu's classmates forever, so that any school can see it, so that every school can know what a nasty classmate this classmate is!"

The whole school was in an uproar, and the students were suddenly discussing it:

"Woah shit, wouldn't that mean no school would want him? How is he going to take the college entrance exam then?"

"I don't know, supposedly it seems to be that student from the orphanage, I guess the orphanage won't be able to pay for it, there's no money for school in the first place."

"It's all the way to senior year eh, that's too bad ......"

"What's so tragic is that if you force people to gamble, you deserve it!"

The principal let out a long breath as he swept a glance at Bai Liu next to him, "Now please ask Mr. Bai Liu to read out his review."

"Read a couple! No!" Fang Dian, who rolled over and rushed onto the stage, dodged the review that the principal was about to shove into Bai Liu's hand, and without even looking at the principal, she grabbed Bai Liu's arm and dragged him away, "Let's go."

Teachers at the flag stand were startled by the sudden rush of Dian Fang to the stage and tried to stop their opponent:

"Fang Dian! Your speech is one in the back! What are you rushing up there for!"

"I know." Fang Dian looked up, her tone was calm, "I'm not giving a speech, I'm taking Bai Liu away."

These teachers were confused for a moment when they heard, "Go? What are you leaving for? There's a class later!"

"I'm not going to class." Fang Dian looked up, the anger of a beast whose territory had been violated in her gaze, "Didn't you withdraw Bai Liu from school?"

"I'll back off with him."

"Are you crazy Fang Dian!" Fang Dian's homeroom teacher stood out in consternation, "You're number one in your grade! It's almost time for the college entrance exams, why are you getting mixed up with a punk who's going to get a big demerit on his record!"

"You're not even on the same path, get over here!"

The teacher waves anxiously at Dian Fang.

Dian Fang looked up at the teacher who was genuinely anxious about herself, and eased her tone a bit, "Teacher, age first and college entrance exams are not that important to me, I can get them wherever I go, the big deal is to repeat a year and start again, I can still be the city's first."

"But Bai Liu is my friend, and I just like to walk on the same path as him."

Fang Dian's eyes were firm, and she smiled a little, "If we don't come together now, we may have to go off on a tangent later."

"Excuse me, please."

Fang Dian tugged at Bai Liu's arm, and without looking back, brushed past the dazed teacher.

Fang Dian is very calm, she first sent Bai Liu back to the dormitory, for him to pack a package out, while packing and said: "This is something strange, you do not panic, I first stay in the school to help you look at the situation."

"But you don't stay in school for the time being, I'll send you back to my house first and get you notes, during this time you'll be studying on your own at my house to prepare for the college entrance exams, some of my classmates know some of the doorways, I'll ask them for you to see how this is going to be handled."

Bai Liu sat on the edge of the bed, a towel was placed over his head by Fang Dian, wiping away the water that had been thrown on him by who knows who, he looked at Fang Dian very quietly as she gathered up his things for him, and spoke abruptly, "Don't you dislike socializing with those people?"

"What was then what is now?" Fang Dian's tone is natural, "It's a matter of urgency know what I mean."

"Like you just threatened those teachers about dropping out?" Bai Liu asked rhetorically in a flat tone.

Fang Dian laughed a little, "Something like that, at least let them calm down first to weigh whether it's cost effective to drop out of a citywide top student before the entrance exams in order to cover your ass."

Bai Liu was quiet again, "I really bet on it."

Fang Dian nods, "I know, you look like you could do the gambling thing, but the rest shouldn't be."

"I bet twenty thousand." Bai Liu continued after a moment's silence, "It's normal to get dropped."

"You can drop out if you really don't want to miss it, I don't have a problem with that at all." Fang Dian jumped, she sat on the table opposite Bai Liu, propped up her jaw and looked at Bai Liu with a smile, "But you can't quit school like that."

"Because I know you miss it."

"I can't accept that this is the result of you studying so seriously and hard for a year, and I hope that you will definitely do well in the college entrance exams."

Fang Dian rubbed Bai Liu's head, "Okay, forget about all this, go home and get some rest first."

Bai Liu was quiet for a long time, he looked up, his wet hair hid his pale face, his voice was soft: "Sister Dot, I want to eat popsicles."

Fang Dian was quiet for a moment.

Except for jokes, Bai Liu seldom called her Sister Dot, and seldom asked her to do anything, and Fang Dian sometimes complained, saying Bai Liu, you don't even want to call me Sister.

But at this moment, looking at Bai Liu like this, Fang Dian would rather she didn't hear this voice, Sister Dot.

She took a deep breath and said, "Okay, Sister Dot will go down and get it for you now, just wait."

When Fang Dian came up with a bag of popsicles, she saw only an empty dormitory.

Bai Liu disappeared, she just gave Bai Liu packaged that small luggage bag has disappeared, only a left on the table by the cup pressed hundred dollars, hundred dollars next to a note pressed ---- [previously borrowed, now return to you The note was pressed next to the one hundred dollars [I borrowed it before, now I return it to you].

The following line reads, [Don't drop out because of me, it's not cost effective.]

Dian Fang Looking at the hundred, she breathed hard, then slowly, slowly lowered the bag of popsicles.
