1486 Busybody (2/2)

”If we aren't sure she's the murderer, let's release her first. We'll ask someone to keep an eye on her if you think she might try and do something. Heidi, Sheryl, you two will be staying with Li Yu'e for the next few days,” Ceylan said. She did not want the situation to worsen any further.

”It's better to lock her up!” Headmistress Perry insisted.

”That is a little too inhumane. If that's not enough, we'll ask her to put on a magic bracelet. We will know where she is at all times, or I can personally keep an eye on her. What does Headmistress Perry think?” Brianca replied evenly.

Headmistress Perry felt like she was about to explode. She had purposely asked the patrolling squad to detain the girl without notifying any teacher so she could get it over with and stop the news from spreading through the school. To her surprise, Mo Fan was able to drag it out until everyone was here!

”Since two of our teachers have insisted, I won't be unreasonable with it, but I must clarify, if anything happens again, you two will have to bear the responsibility...” Headmistress Perry said.

”If it's really Li Yu'e, it goes without saying that we will bear the responsibility, but even if she's not the culprit, as the teachers of the school, we will try our best to find the culprit to guarantee the safety of the students. We have neglected our job by putting the students in danger,” Brianca said.

Headmistress Perry stormed off in a huff. The patrolling squad was dismissed too, but many students were still talking about Li Yu'e.

Li Yu'e was a new student with an unknown background. They did not know why she had come to the school, not to mention her sensitive relationship with Amelia. After all, the teacher in charge did mention that they only needed one gardener, which meant only one between Amelia and Li Yu'e was going to stay.

Many students assumed Li Yu'e had plotted to take Amelia out. She had purposely killed the little creatures so they might think that someone was getting their revenge at the Alps Institute to make her less suspicious.

It was plausible; if Mo Fan did not know Li Yu'e beforehand, he might even have believed it.

”Thank you,” Li Yu'e went up to Mo Fan. Her eyes were rippling, not as calm as before.

”Any man wouldn't back off in that situation,” Mo Fan smiled, although it looked terrible.

”How sweet...” Li Yu'e whispered.

”What did you say?” Mo Fan did not hear it clearly.

”The girl that you like must be very happy, if you can already go so far for someone you've met by coincidence. I can imagine the things you would do if a person you loved was in the slightest trouble,” Li Yu'e said.

Mo Fan was startled. Xinxia's face suddenly crossed his mind, and the teary eyes that represented the mixed feelings she had when she was looking at him.

”You are adding some picturesque charm to it, when all I did was being a busybody. You're indeed a great person to talk to,” Mo Fan replied.

Li Yu'e giggled. Her eyes were clear and pretty, her smile pure and natural.
