Xie Jie closed her eyes in silence and instructed, “The other students shall self-study in this class. Anyone related to this matter, follow me to the dean’s office. I have to investigate this matter clearly!”
Tong Su lowered her head and glanced at Du Yan, who gave her a reassuring look.
Tong Su turned around and said firmly, “Alright, Teacher. I’ll go with you. I also want to prove my innocence.”
Su Tang curled her lips in disdain and followed Xie Jie to the dean’s office.
It was class time, but a group of people passed by in the corridor. Leading them was Teacher Xie, whose face was ashen. They immediately craned their necks curiously to look out, but they were glared back by Xie Jie.
In the office, the dean was looking through the window at the students on the training ground outside. Hearing the earth-shattering slogan outside, she felt relieved. Unexpectedly, before she could take a sip of the hot tea in her hand, the office door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
The dean was so frightened that her mouth was almost scalded by the discounted hot tea. She hurriedly put down the cup and frowned at Xie Jie, who was taking the lead. “Teacher Xie, if I remember correctly, you should be in Class S’s military theory class now, right? Why are you bringing your students to me?”
Xie Jie frowned and took out her bracelet, placing it on the dean’s desk.
The dean immediately reacted and pointed at it in disbelief. “Where did you find it? How did it end up in your hands?”
Yesterday, Xie Jie left in a hurry because of something, so she temporarily left the bracelet with her. Who would have thought that she would lose the bracelet when she returned?
She was about to turn the entire office over, but she could not find it.
For this matter, Xie Jie had ignored her today. She was just worried that she could not explain herself, but who knew that this thing would surface again!
Xie Jie turned around and made way. “There’s someone among these students who stole my bracelet. They each have their own opinions now. 1 have no choice but to ask you to help me judge. You know how important that bracelet is to me.”
The dean hurriedly nodded and sized up Tong Su and Shi Man with a complicated gaze.
This bracelet was an engagement gift from Xie Jie’s late husband. The two of them were very close after their marriage until her husband died on a mission two years ago, leaving Xie Jie alone and some items that carried their memories.
Therefore, Xie Jie had always cherished this bracelet. She usually could not bear to wear it. She only placed it in the drawer of her office and often took it out to reminisce.
All the teachers in the office knew that the bracelet was Xie Jie’s lifeline. Touching it would anger Xie Jie, so no one dared to approach Xie Jie’s desk easily, let alone her drawer.
This thing had also been safely stored in the office until it mysteriously disappeared yesterday.
Now, it actually involved Tong Su and the new student.
The dean couldn’t help but click her tongue. She sat back behind her desk and suddenly felt a headache. “What exactly is going on? Who wants to tell me first?”
Tong Su tilted her head slightly and gave the girl behind her a look.
Du Yan immediately understood and took the initiative to stand up. She said eloquently, “Teacher, let me say it first. It was Bai Xue, Shi Man, and Su Tang who stole Teacher Xie Jie’s things.”
She told him how she had seen the bracelet in the pile of things Bai Xue had, how she had obtained it, and how she had been framed by Su Tang.
The dean frowned when she heard this because she really could not figure out what use Shi Man and the others had for Xie Jie’s bracelet.
After Du Yan finished speaking, Tong Su stood up to supplement her question.
When the dean heard this, she waved her hand with a splitting headache and said, “1 was indeed the one who asked the three of them to come and get things. You can’t say that they stole them.”
Tong Su raised her eyebrows in surprise and immediately retreated to the side. She lowered her eyes and said coldly, “Then it seems that I misunderstood them. 1’11 apologize to them.”
“We’ll talk about this later. Let’s talk about this bracelet first.” Only then did the dean turn to Shi Man. Thinking that this person was someone Chief Lu valued, her attitude subconsciously softened. “Tell me, what exactly is going on with this bracelet?”
“We didn’t take it.” Shi Man stood rooted to the ground with a nonchalant expression as if she was talking about someone else. “1 don’t know where this teacher’s office is at all. How would I steal it?”
That was a problem.
Shi Man was new here, so she might not know where Xie Jie’s office was. Even if she knew, she might not know which desk was Xie Jie’s, let alone find the bracelet that Xie Jie had hidden.
Anyone who could locate the bracelet must be very familiar with the layout of the office.
The dean’s eyes turned cold. She felt that this matter was a little tricky. She frowned and said awkwardly, “Didn’t you go to the form teacher to apply for a student ID yesterday? Teacher Xie Jie’s office is also that one..”
