Chapter 47 pt1 (2/2)

Xue TingRang didn’t rush: “Your so-called witnesses can only prove that you have something on your mind. Listening and believing is the habit of ordinary people and should not be taken as the truth.”

At this moment, a student with an unfamiliar face suddenly came out from the crowd and said: “I saw Mao Badou returning from an outing a few days ago. He walked in a hurry and knocked into me. He is usually very fat but he seemed to be even more bloated at the time. There was something hidden. At the time, I was still wondering why it hurt so much when he knocked into me. At this time, I think he probably had a book hidden on him.”

This student was from Class A. Xue TingRang and others were not familiar with him, but Lin Miao and Meng Xiansheng knew. Moreover, this person is usually silent and does not communicate much with others. If it is a testimony, his testimony will be much more trustworthy.

At the same time, a few students stood up and said that the people in this dorm were walking strangely. The four usually walked by themselves, and when others occasionally passed by the door, they could always see the four holding books and reading while laughing.

Zhou Li also said at this time: “The owner of the house can search this dorm. If he came in with a book, he will definitely hide it in this dorm.”

When things got to this point, Xue TingRang and others knew that this was deliberately directed at Mao Badou and the rest of them.

Mao Badou is in trouble, and it is natural that everyone will try to help. The previous testimony can be regarded as collaborating. Once someone has found an obscene book, the whole dorm will not be able to escape.

Even the people who designed this scene must have been observing them for a long time, waiting for the right moment to frame them. For a time, the eyes of the four roommates flickered, especially Mao Badou, who was about to stand up and take care of everything, but was pulled by Xue TingRang from behind.

Lin Miao pulled his beard for a while, and said, “There are no waves without wind. There must be a reason for things. Since so many people have testified against you, whether they have the books or not, they should prove their innocence.”

He ordered people to search the dorm, and immediately some students volunteered, and the old school official also stepped forward and began to search around. The bunk under the table had been searched, and there was nothing suspicious. Now there were only the roommates’ cabinets left.

Meng Xiansheng sighed and said, “You four should open the cabinet. Those who are innocent will be proven innocent, and those who are not will be shown to be correctly accused.”

Mao Badou became even more anxious. Except for the book he had hidden on his body, everything else was in Xue TingRang’s cabinet. If it is found out, everything will be over.

Xue TingRang pursed his lips, and stepped forward, saying: “This student still insists on what I’ve said before. If there is nothing, then there is nothing. But since you want to search, naturally I must say some things openly. This accusation is unfounded and based only on these people’s one-sided words, and yet it can be used to frame us for having a private collection of banned books. To say such irresponsible words and slander others! For people existing in this world, nothing can defy reason and logic. This truth does not only apply to a few people, but to everyone.

“If nothing can be found in my cabinet today, how about Brother Zhou, this classmate who testified, and those who said we behave strangely? Will they behave like this again in the future? Anyone who is not pleasing to the eye can be framed, and they can forge facts to wrong an innocent person. Just find two people to come out with irresponsible accusations to frame someone. No matter whether it is successful or not, there is no loss anyway. Will there be chaos in this school in the future and no justice at all? In other words, who should pay for the humiliation I have suffered?”

These words made everyone think deeply, and the onlookers whispered: “Yes, who dares to say that no one has offended a few people? After doing this, who dares to speak in public.”

“A gentleman should be open minded and tolerant while a villain is narrow minded and uncompromising. I am afraid that it will be the other way around in the future.”

“This cabinet seems ordinary, but in this case, being searched in public is almost equivalent to the treatment of a thief. If the owner of the house cannot give a reason, dropping out of school is no big deal, but my cabinet cannot be searched.” Xue TingRang said.

This remark almost puts himself in a state of confrontation with the master of the house. Who dares to reason with the master of the house? This has never happened before in the academy.

The students on the sidelines were surprised by Xue TingRang’s boldness, but they were also shocked by his attitude. From looking at this appearance, it seemed he really might not have done it before but was just framed.

“Brother Xue and I are the same, and we were humiliated for no reason. It’s fine if we drop out of this academy.” Chen Jian said stepping forward.
