Chapter 41 - League of Poor Students (18) (2/2)

The police couldn’t be fooled so easily. Because Ming Shu said only the Student Council had the key, they soon found out Jin Yuqi.

Jin Yuqi wasn’t a member of the Student Council, but she had borrowed a key from the president and hadn’t given it back.

Jin Yuqi was afraid of being investigated by the police. Although she had nothing to do with the blood, she had ruined those costumes, which would damage her image if it was exposed.

In order not to be discovered, she bribed another student to confess for her.

Originally Jin Yuqi would have succeeded. But Ming Shu, who was sure that the oil paint was poured by Jin Yuqi to begin with and would win Hatred Points along the way, was in the police station too when the student was confessing.

But even if Ming Shu weren’t in the police station at that time, the police would have discovered the information about the key sooner or later.

Before she came into this world through a book, Jin Yuqi was just a student. Those people who incarnated into novels always said they were older and more mature, adding their age in their original world with their age in the novel’s world. But experience and IQ couldn’t be counted as age.

The background of this world that Jin Yuqi incarnated into was of a school campus. Maybe when faced with her peers, Jin Yuqi had a sense of superiority. She could easily succeed and win several lovers because she only needed to compete with naive students. But when she faced the police, she was not smart enough.

Jin Yuqi only poured some paint, which wasn’t a criminal offense. But when she came to school, she found that her classmates looked at her with a strange gaze, the same gaze they looked at Lu Meng with before.

Jin Yuqi gritted her teeth and thought, Lu Meng, it’s because of you again.

She had expected that Lu Meng would become everyone’s enemy this time because of her frame job. However, what she had done brought serious consequences to herself in the end.

“What are you looking at!” Jin Yuqi fiercely stared at the students beside her.

The students who were staring shrank back in fear and ran away with their friends.

Jin Yuqi had looked frightening just now and wasn’t elegant or easygoing at all.

Jin Yuqi ignored those students who kept whispering behind her back and went to see Shangguan Feng, resentful.

She had to make sure Lu Meng was completely discredited.

…

The police had found out that Jin Yuqi poured the oil paint initially, but not who poured the oil paint that was mixed with the blood. And no corpse was found at the school either. Ming Shu, who was suspected at first, was proven innocent in the end because she didn’t have the motivation and time to do anything.

So the investigation had to be delayed.

The school was afraid that worse things would happen among students. So without evidence, it was announced that the oil paint mixed with the human blood was a mere prank and the human blood was taken from a hospital and had not come from anyone specific.

Because no corpse had been found, most students believed it and were pacified by the announcement. The police also didn’t deny the announcement and investigated in secret.

As the mid-term exams approached, the attention of the students was diverted and less people discussed this matter.

The mid-terms were strict. Ming Shu lay prone and looked at the test paper, unwilling to answer any questions at all.

When the exam period was about over, she quickly began to answer and turned her test in as the bell rang.

When all the subjects were finished, Ming Shu became energetic once again. She went to buy snacks with Ye Miaomiao. I can eat happily at last, Ming Shu thought.

As soon as they arrived at the school’s shop, they saw Cheng Yan come out with many snacks. Ye Miaomiao poked Ming Shu secretly and thought that many people said that Cheng Yan was pursuing Mengmeng.

“Finished your test? It’s for you.” Cheng Yan gave the snacks to Ming Shu, a roguish smile on his face that elicited excited shouts from the girl students hanging around.

“…” I would ever choose a guy doesn’t show up when he should, Ming Shu thought.
