Chapter 90: Tasteless

How could that be?!

Jiang Cheng didn’t have that much of a reaction. He slowly stood up. Half of his face was hidden in the dark. His voice was as calm as usual. “Fatty, have you wondered what Su Yu was doing when Chen Yao’s name was dragged through the mud?”

Fatty’s eyes narrowed and then suddenly widened. He was enlightened. Without the testimony from the direct ‘victim’, how could people believe the accusations so easily?

“He…” Fatty’s lips trembled. “He was part of the accusation! He… was involved! He gave the false testimony that Chen Yao seduced him!” In other words, he was a crucial reason why Chen Yao committed suicide. “But… why?” Fatty’s eyes flowed with befuddlement, “Why would Su Yu do that? Does he not like Chen Yao?”

“Chen Yao was so young and beautiful. How can he not like her?” Jiang Cheng lamented. “However, it was clearly illogical to give up on the headmaster’s daughter for a nameless girl.” Jiang Cheng paused before adding, “If I’m not mistaken… Li Yanwei perhaps is not lying.”

“Doctor, I don’t understand what you mean,” Fatty admitted it honestly.

“From the beginning until the end, Li Yanwei is also a victim. She has been tricked by Su Yu. In her eyes, it was Chen Yao who seduced her fiance.

“Because… that was what her fiance told her.”

Fatty seemed to get it. His eyes skipped over Jiang Cheng to stare at the blackboard.

“I believe this is the truth.” Jiang Cheng’s voice was aloof and distant, like that of a storyteller. “Li Yanwei was right. She and Su Yu were a couple. However, due to Li Yanwei’s identity, their love could not be revealed at school. This led to the chance for Su Yu to seduce Chen Yao.”

Fatty was in disbelief. “You mean it was Su Yu who seduced Chen Yao?!”

Jiang Cheng nodded. “Li Yanwei said she helped move Chen Yao into Su Yu’s ballet class, which was probably true as well. She was merely concerned with Chen Yao’s talent. Plus, the school’s anniversary was coming. If Chen Yao could have a great showing, her teacher, Su Yu, who just joined the school, would gain a lot of recognition as well. She was merely trying to help her fiance.” Jiang Cheng shook his head and sighed, “She is not evil. She is just dumb.” Jiang Cheng raised his head. His eyes shone with a warm glint. “I’ve been thinking. Why were the guards, teachers and the two students killed, but Li Yanwei merely had her eyes dug out?

“I think Chen Yao knows the truth. She merely hated this woman for being so blind in love and being so trusting of the bastard, Su Yu. The fake witnesses were not hired by Li Yanwei, but Su Yu. Li Yanwei is still clueless about everything.

“It’s quite easy to understand why Su Yu would want to do that. He probably did cross the line after being rebuffed by Chen Yao many times. Before Chen Yao exposed him, he decided to take the initiative and take down Chen Yao. He turned the facts upside-down and said that it was Chen Yao who came on to him.

“Since he was a teacher and he had a girlfriend, he had to reject her sternly. However, Chen Yao refused to accept his rejection. He turned himself into a victim and Chen Yao into a wicked woman.

“That is why he only dared to show us the first half of the diary,” Jiang Cheng turned to look at Fatty, “I believe the latter half of the diary would be filled with Chen Yao’s disgust with Su Yu.”

“I agree with you, Doctor,” Fatty nodded consecutively.

“Also, the so-called swapping of a solo dance into a couple dance was probably Su Yu’s doing as well. He wanted to create more chances to be private with Chen Yao so that he could make his moves,” Jiang Cheng concluded.

Fatty said with condescension, “This animal! I knew normal people would not practice dancing until so late at night! Why would a girl request something like that? This is all Su Yu’s dirty doings!”

At this point, Fatty’s eyes widened. “Doctor,” he gasped, “Have you come to this conclusion way before this?” Considering how much Jiang Cheng didn’t hold back when he smacked Su Yu with the flower pots, Fatty felt that he was right. Jiang Cheng didn’t answer. Fatty took that as a silent yes. Fatty turned to head back to the yard to give Su Yu another lesson.

At that moment, a hand landed on Fatty’s shoulder. Fatty jumped.

Jiang Cheng’s voice travelled over, “Don’t move.”

In the nightmare realm, he had to listen to the Doctor to survive. That had become a mantra for Fatty. He froze instantly. Slowly, he realised something was not right. His eyes moved to the door. He was shocked to notice that the door had been shut without them realising it.

“It was Su Yu…” Jiang Cheng lowered his voice, “Who told me the blackboard is here.”

Fatty’s brain spun as his throat moved. He remembered the blackboard was in the yard the last time they were there. However, it had been moved to this room. The person who moved it was clearly… Su Yu.

This was a trap!

Su Yu probably predicted that they would come to replace him.

At the same time, another question came to Fatty. Where were Zhen Jianren and Luo Yi? Based on their arrangement, they should be at the Prop Centre.

But Fatty had not seen them.

Luo Yi was confirmed to be a ghost. So did Zhen Jianren die as well?

Due to fear, the fats on Fatty’s body wiggled.

The certain thing was they had been scammed by Su Yu and trapped in this unusual room.

When he entered the room, Fatty paid attention to the door. The wooden door had become fragile from time. It was too weak to stop him and Jiang Cheng.
