Chapter 184 - Clap Hands for You (1/2)
Chapter 184 Clap Hands for YouFaced with Gao Ge’s question, the factotum falls into silence and even becomes flurried.
Shanzhu and the dark-skinned boy look each other in the eye. They both see the helplessness in each other’s eyes.
Out of their expectation, Gao Ge’s confidence to deny the charge comes from that.
Undoubtedly, Gao Ge is quite smart. He uses this way to disclose what happened yesterday, making him and Yan Chao the vulnerable ones. Now there is no adequate evidence to prove that they are the murderers. Even if there is, Daozhi may not just kill them directly. After all, it is not a deliberate murder but a homicide in self-defense.
“Answer the question. What are you hesitating for?” Daozhi becomes furious at the silence of the factotum. He immediately realizes that the truth may not be as he has learned. Faced with the sovereign and other honorable elders, he feels a bit disgraced.
The factotum has no other choice but to keep kowtowing, begging for mercy, “Sovereign, Honorable Elders, please forgive me. It’s my fault. I didn’t express myself clearly…”
Daozhi says with a stern face, “Now make it clear to us all.”
“Okay, okay…” The factotum continues kowtowing for being spared. Then he talks about what happened yesterday slowly.
No embellishment is added at all.
While the factotum is telling the whole story, the sovereign and four honorable elders are quite angry.
“Why would that happen?” The sovereign snorts and asks Yan Chao, “Wangyue, let me ask you. Do you have any grudge against Shanyao and his peers?”
Yan Chao shakes his head and says bluntly, “Although I do know Shanyao and his friends, we don’t hang around. Neither have I ever offended them.”
“Since so, why did they make trouble for you?” It is Yan Chao’s master, Daoyuan who asks the question.
Yan Chao suddenly has no idea how to answer the question.
Daoyuan snorts and continues to say, “There is no smoke without fire. Why did Shanyao and his friends only make trouble for you instead of others?”
Gao Ge feels headache at that.
In his memory, it seems that many teachers like saying that.
In many cases of campus bullying, the teachers who like saying that must bear great responsibility.
In Gao Ge’s view, this is the so-called bastard logic.
Therefore, Gao Ge coughs and says, “Third Honorable Elder, I do know the reason.”
“Oh yeah?” Daoyuan eyes Gao Ge and coughs, saying, “Since you know it, tell me then.”
Gao Ge laughs, saying, “Actually, the reason is quite simple. After all, unlike Yan Chao, others have a master to care for and protect them. If Shanyao and his friends bully them, the victim’s master will make trouble for them. That’s why they didn’t dare to make trouble for others but Yan Chao.”
Hearing that, Daoyuan instantly flies into a rage, “How dare you! You mean that as master of Yan Chao, I never show care for him?”
Gao Ge smirks, “I didn’t mean that but I do believe that when other masters know that their students are bullied, they will never ask–why do others bully you but not others?”
Even the sovereign can’t help smirking.
The other honorable elders are also staring at Daoyuan with disdain.
Obviously, Gao Ge just spoke out their true feelings.
Although Yan Chao is not pleasing in the Heaven School indeed, he is a student of Daoyuan anyway. It is too over to just let him bullied by others. After all, if you want to beat a dog, you must see whose dog it is first.
Daoyuan blushes with embarrassment.
He says angrily, “There is no need for you to judge me!”
