After listening to Zhou Yang’s disjointed account, Cheng Xin furrowed his brows. He tapped his index finger against the desk, lost in deep thought. The situation was even more thorny than he had anticipated: the malicious framing by two female students, the school administration’s chilling desire to sweep things under the rug, and that incomprehensible, losing verdict. Every aspect of the case felt deeply wrong, leaving him full of suspicion. The verdict, in particular, reeked of something sinister.
Meanwhile, the live stream chat was exploding. Vulgarities and insults flew back and forth like a pot of boiling oil, ready to burst at any second.
"What kind of hellish world is this? Is there no justice left?"
"Those two bitches deserve to die!"
"Sooner or later, I’ll track them down through the internet and gift them a ton of TNT each!"
"The school is trash, too, just looking to cover things up. A school like that should be shut down!"
"Support Zhou Yang! Sue them into oblivion!"
