Chapter 438: They Are Wrong, Completely Wrong!
“No!”
Xue Xi exclaimed and rushed over.
Just as she was about to grab Li Chun’s hand, Li Chun fell to the ground.
Bang!
A m.u.f.fled sound came from below, stunning everyone present.
Xue Xi stood at the window and looked down. She clenched her fists and her body trembled slightly. She suddenly turned around. Although the usually aloof person did not shed any tears, her serious expression made everyone’s hearts sink.
No one expected such a thing to happen.
Mr. Guo took a step back nervously. He gulped and said with a pale face, “You saw it. He jumped off the building to frame me. It has nothing to do with me!”
Xue Xi sneered when she heard this.
She looked at the investigator. “Professor, did you hear what Senior Li Chun said?”
The investigator’s legs went weak.
Seeing a living life disappear in front of him was a shocking thing.
For the first time, everyone felt that death was so close to them.
The corridor was silent. The investigator looked at Mr. Guo. Before he could speak, Mr. Guo had already said, “He’s slandering me! I also didn’t expect that the students nowadays would have such a poor mentality!! It’s not that serious, but he actually jumped off the building! It’s because of his own mentality. It has nothing to do with me!
“Yes, it’s just that he has a problem in his heart. This person is usually the most gloomy and doesn’t speak much. Just look at how hard it is for me to communicate with him. He might have a problem in his heart and is suffering from depression now! Isn’t it only right for him to jump off a building? Don’t blame it on me. Even if he didn’t jump off a building today, he would have jumped off a building sooner or later! It has nothing to do with me!”
After all, it was a living person’s life. It completely tore apart Mr. Guo’s calmness. When he said these words, his expression was ferocious and terrifying.
Everyone looked at him. The two boys who had been criticizing Xue Xi and Li Chun seemed to not know Mr. Guo anymore.
The investigator frowned.
To be honest, in such a situation, Mr. Guo should have been dealt with, but the school still had to protect the students and teachers.
He felt that he should investigate it clearly.
Huaxia University had been around for hundreds of years and was never afraid of public opinion. It would not be forced to do anything.
However, he felt that he had to investigate this matter properly.
Xue Xi looked at the senior who had been suppressing them and said, “Senior, now that things have come to this, you don’t even have a life left. Are you still not going to tell the truth?!”
Her words made the senior break down.
She covered her face, and her legs went weak as she fell to the ground. She widened her eyes, and tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes. “No, I didn’t want to harm him… I didn’t expect him to be so resolute… So when Mr. Guo told me that he would give me my allowance next month, I agreed. I said I won’t tell anyone that Mr. Guo owes me…”
The investigator was stunned.
Zhang Hao and the two boys who had been clamoring turned to look at the senior in unison. The three of them were in disbelief. “Senior, you… How can you speak nonsense?”
After the senior said the truth, her suppressed feelings instantly exploded. She cried and shouted, “Did I speak nonsense? You idiots, don’t you know that I’m just an insignificant graduate student? How could I dare to exploit you guys? Do you really think that Mr. Guo doesn’t know about the calculations? Do you really think that I’d dare to exploit you guys so much that you can’t eat or sleep?”
She cried. “I treated you guys that way because that’s how I came to be here!”
The rest of the people who had worked in the laboratory for many years also covered their faces and started crying.
“Senior, we’ve let you down.”
“Senior, why are you so silly?!”
“Investigator, I-I’ll tell the truth! Mr. Guo owes us money and always forces us to do projects for free.”
“I’ve heard the conversation between Mr. Guo and Senior Li Chun before. Senior Li Chun asked for some allowance, but Mr. Guo said that he didn’t have any as he’d given him all the money to buy clothes. Mr. Guo did give Senior Li Chun clothes and treated him to a few meals, but Senior Li Chun didn’t know that those clothes were all from roadside stalls and they cost just over ten yuan each!”
“…I remember that there was one winter when Senior Li Chun entered wearing a down jacket. He was so cold that he had a fever, but the project was very urgent. Mr. Guo did not even let him go to the hospital and only gave him a fever medicine. After Senior Li Chun finished the project, he fainted. Mr. Guo only paid for the hospitalization fee on the first day and did not pay for the rest!”
“…”
The more they spoke, the more serious the officer’s expression became.
The investigator picked up the recording pen in his hand. “Now, everyone, come and give your statements.”
A few people followed the investigator into the room to record their statements.
Outside.
Xue Xi was still standing at the window. Zhang Hao and the two boys, who were stunned by Mr. Guo, walked to her with terrible expressions. They did not dare to look downstairs.
They were afraid to see Senior Li Chun’s eyes that were filled with grievances…
Zhang Hao’s eyes turned red. “Sister Xi, I’m sorry. I didn’t trust you.”
The two boys covered their faces and started crying. Thinking of how they had sided so much with Mr. Guo just now when he turned out to be the villain, they choked and could not speak.
“I was wrong. Sob…”
“I didn’t expect Mr. Guo to be such a person…”
“I really made a huge mistake! I almost gave the person who defended justice a demerit point and even forced the senior to die…”
“Senior, I’m sorry…”
The two boys pounded their chests, but the external pain could not make up for the pain in their hearts.
They had been deceived.
Mr. Guo’s well-dressed manner made them feel that Mr. Guo was a good person. Xue Xi’s cold att.i.tude made them feel that Xue Xi’s personality was not good.
Only now did they understand who was right and who was wrong!
Xie Yingying also cried even harder because of them. Tears and snot flowed down her cheeks as she scolded the three of them. “Now you finally know who’s in the right? But you only came to know after Senior is already dead. It’s too late!”
Unexpectedly, Xue Xi said, “It’s not too late.”
Xie Yingying and the rest were stunned. They looked at her in disbelief. “Sister Xi, what… What did you say?”
Xue Xi turned around and looked at the staircase…
Sensing her actions, everyone turned to look.
