“Imp, tell me where the evidence is!” Ye Ying said fiercely.
Gu Ya was no longer in a hurry. He thought calmly for a moment and then asked softly, "Anai?"
Ye Ying's face remained unchanged.
Gu Ya said again, "Susan Lei."
This time, Ye Ying's face finally showed an expression.
Gu Ya caught her micro-expression, and a boulder seemed to fall in his heart. It was actually Susan Lei.
Ye Ying's third personality.
"Ye Ying told you?" Susan Lei asked, her tone softening slightly.
Gu Ya nodded slightly.
"This little brat, why does she say everything!" Susan Lei let go of Gu Ya's face, turned around in annoyance, and walked away.
Gu Ya, now free, propped up his chin, took a tired and painful breath, and suddenly, pain shot through his face as if it had been cut thousands of times.
Gu Ya trembled and gently touched his face. Blood mixed with dirt smeared his hand.
"Imp!" Susan Lei suddenly turned her head and asked, "What else did she tell you?"
Gu Ya braced himself, looked at Susan Lei, and said, "Your experience. I promised her I would help you get revenge."
"With you?" Susan Lei suddenly jumped over, grabbed Gu Ya's collar, and said with a sinister smile, "Do you know who killed my family and villagers? Can you beat them? They have hundreds of mechs! Hundreds of people!"
Gu Ya stared at Susan Lei's face, which should have been Ye Ying's, and nodded gently, saying, "Of course, I keep my word."
"Hahaha!" Susan Lei suddenly burst into laughter and said, "How could Ye Ying like such a boastful brat like you!"
"Ridiculous and hateful liar!"
"I'll kill you now and avenge Ye Ying!"
Saying that, Susan Lei raised a fruit knife and stabbed towards Gu Ya's chest.
As the fruit knife neared Gu Ya, something strange happened.
Gu Ya seemed to disappear into thin air, and the fruit knife plunged directly into the tree trunk.
Susan Lei exclaimed and looked around.
Gu Ya stood by a tree behind her, coughing in pain.
"How did you do that?" Susan Lei couldn't believe her eyes.
Gu Ya also became fierce, threatening Susan Lei, "Behave yourself, or I can kill you at any time!"
Just then, an exoskeleton armor gradually covered Gu Ya's body, and he instantly lunged to Susan Lei's side.
Gu Ya wanted to punch her, but remembering it was Ye Ying's body, he immediately retracted his hand.
He simply lifted Susan Lei by her collar and said, "I only want Ye Ying. As for you, please go back."
Susan Lei was suppressed by Gu Ya's powerful aura and stared at him, unable to speak.
Just then, the homeroom teacher arrived with people, and the flashlight beams illuminated the woods.
Gu Ya instantly retracted his armor and released Susan Lei.
"Gu Ya! Ye Ying, you two come back with me and explain honestly!" Xie Fangbin shouted angrily.
...
In the office of the Dean of Academic Affairs and Discipline, Gu Ya, Susan Lei, Xuan Lang, and others stood side by side.
Liu Feng also rushed over and stood beside Gu Ya.
Dean of Discipline Hu Kaiming and several teachers sat on chairs.
Hu Kaiming said, "Explain what happened. Wei Ping, you start."
Wei Ping lowered her head, her face flushed red, and recounted the events.
Facing the teachers, she still lied, pushing all responsibility onto Gu Ya.
Gu Ya listened coldly, wishing he could kill her.
After Wei Ping finished, it was Jiang Tingyue's turn.
She described when Gu Ya captured her and what he did to her, very detailed.
Gu Ya couldn't suppress his anger after hearing this.
After Jiang Tingyue, it was Xuan Lang's turn, and his story was even more outrageous.
"I placed the surveillance equipment in that dilapidated house to record the nocturnal activities of wild animals," Xuan Lang said dismissively. "I didn't expect to witness a crime by chance."
Gu Ya stepped forward, wishing he could hit Xuan Lang, but was stopped by several teachers.
Next was Wei Yongji, who told the truth. However, he claimed that he had knocked out Gu Ya himself.
When it was Susan Lei's turn, she completely ignored the teachers, holding her head high as if she had nothing to do with it, and said nothing.
Finally, it was Gu Ya's turn.
Based on the accounts of the previous individuals, the teachers had a general understanding of the situation: Gu Ya first attempted to force Wei Ping in the small grove but, feeling unwilling, then captured Jiang Tingyue. Fortunately, Wei Yongji intervened in time. Later, Ye Ying took Gu Ya away.
Gu Ya directly dismissed their fabricated events and told a different story.
He particularly emphasized being knocked out outside the grove.
"After being knocked out, when I woke up again, I saw Su... Ye Ying."
The teachers listened and clearly showed some disbelief.
Xie Fangbin questioned, "Do you have witnesses?"
"Yes!" At that moment, a male voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Xing Bin strode in.
When Gu Ya saw it was Xing Bin, his heart sank. They had a feud, and it was unlikely he wouldn't seize the opportunity to step on him!
Unexpectedly, Xing Bin opened his mouth and said, "I'll testify for Gu Ya! He was knocked out by two men in black."
Gu Ya and the teachers looked at Xing Bin in disbelief.
Everyone present knew that Xing Bin and Gu Ya had a significant feud.
Yet, at this moment, Xing Bin was solemnly testifying for Gu Ya!
"Moreover, I was video calling Chu Dan at the time, and she saw it too!" Xing Bin shouted.
At this moment, Chu Dan timidly walked in from the door and said in a low voice, "I did see two men in black knock out Gu Ya, and I was the one who alerted Xing Bin."
Gu Ya craned his neck. A thick red bloody mark on the back of his neck clearly indicated a blow from a blunt object.
Gu Ya also lifted his shirt, revealing a mark on his back, which confirmed Wei Yongji's words.
Hu Kaiming nodded and said, "Xuan Lang, where is your video?"
Xuan Lang produced the video. From the moment Gu Ya was on top of Jiang Tingyue onwards, the video confirmed the testimonies of several people.
After watching the video, Hu Kaiming said, "Gu Ya really didn't move at all, it was all Jiang Tingyue who was moving!"
"But it still doesn't prove what Gu Ya did in those ten minutes after he was knocked out," Zhang XinDan reminded.
Gu Ya snorted coldly and said, "I have evidence."
Everyone looked at Gu Ya, especially Xuan Lang, a hint of displeasure appearing beneath his calm expression.
Gu Ya took out a worn-out communication bracelet from his pocket.
"Ye Ying gave this to me. I linked it with my own bracelet. After my own bracelet was damaged, it started automatically recording everything that happened, including my vital signs."
After speaking, Gu Ya played the recording from the bracelet in front of everyone.
The recording only contained the sound of clothes rustling. After ten minutes, Jiang Tingyue's screams could be heard, which corresponded to the video.
Gu Ya said, "Jiang Tingyue said I grabbed her, so why isn't there her scream in the recording, but rather some rhythmic footsteps?"
Hu Kaiming glanced at Jiang Tingyue, whose calm face showed no expression.
Xie Fangbin asked, "How should this be handled?"
Hu Kaiming shrugged and said, "Just hand it over to the Public Security Bureau! This is a criminal offense."
Xie Fangbin nodded.
Upon hearing "Public Security Bureau," Wei Ping burst into tears, completely abandoning her ladylike demeanor.
Zhang XinDan and several female teachers quickly pulled Wei Ping to another office.
After some questioning, Wei Ping finally told the truth.
It was all her fault.
Zhang XinDan provided Wei Ping with psychological counseling and brought her back.
Wei Ping recounted the truth again in front of everyone.
Hu Kaiming calmly surveyed the students and said in a low voice, "Gu Ya, Jiang Tingyue, Ye Ying, stay. The rest can go."
As Xuan Lang left, he lightly touched Jiang Tingyue's hand, and Jiang Tingyue instantly understood his meaning.
The teachers questioned Gu Ya and the other two separately.
The final conclusion was reached.
Wei Ping's unrequited love led to her framing Gu Ya.
Gu Ya was knocked unconscious.
Jiang Tingyue gave a different account, stating that when she went to retrieve Xuan Lang's equipment at night, she was knocked out by men in black. When she woke up, she found Gu Ya on top of her and mistook it for Gu Ya harassing her.
She also lied about having persecutory delusions, hallucinating the scene of Gu Ya grabbing her.
As for Susan Lei, she unceremoniously recounted everything that had happened, including hitting Gu Ya later.
However, she concealed the fact that Gu Ya had retaliated, as this was very strange and she wanted to investigate it herself.
After listening to the students' accounts, Hu Kaiming pondered for a long time before saying, "Please call the Public Security Bureau and apprehend those two men in black as soon as possible."
...
Xuan Lang returned to his single dormitory and angrily crushed a soda can.
Ye Ying, Gu Ya, and that Xing Bin – it was because of these three that his perfectly flawless plan failed!
Moreover, the matter had escalated, and the academy was going to report it to the Public Security Bureau to arrest those two men in black.
They would also need to arrange for two people to take the blame!
Xuan Lang angrily rushed into the bathroom, letting the icy shower water wash over him, forcing himself to calm down.
After a long while, Xuan Lang suddenly remembered something, and a smile spread across his face.
Wasn't there still the matter of the clones?
