Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten (Book 1)

641-645

"That's right! Teacher Lu, quickly find a way to expose the culprit!"

"Teacher Lu, classmate Zhou Chengzhe seems to know who it is!"

"Yes, yes! He was just talking about it a few minutes ago. He didn't dare to reveal who it is, so he must know who it is!"

"Really?" Teacher Lu Zhiwei turned to look at Zhou Chengzhe. He asked the boy to stand up and talk.

"Do you know what's going on?"

His facial expression was still hesitant and conflicted, Zhou Chengzhe stood up. He then looked pointedly at Yun Xi and hesitated for a while.

"I'm not a hundred per cent sure, but on the first day of school, I saw Yun Xi sneaking into the forest. I've seen her several times, sneaking down the alleyway behind the boys' dormitory. If it really was her, and she did something so terrible with snakes, they'll be too conspicuous to carry around. She definitely can't store them in her four-person dormitory. Perhaps she hid them in the woods?"

When he heard the name "Yun Xi", Lu Zhiwei abruptly turned his head to look at Yun Xi. But her face was calm and indifferent.

"Yun Xi? Are you sure she is the one you saw?"

Zhou Chengzhe nodded. "It was definitely her! She wore this dress on the first day of school as well. I remember it well, so there's no way I'm wrong."

"Since you saw her sneaking into the woods, weren't you curious to follow her and find out what she was up to?"

"My skin is prone to allergies, and there are insects in the woods that will bite me," Zhou Chengzhe explained. "If I had gone into the woods and gotten bitten by the insects, it would delay the training program. It's not that I wasn't curious, it's just that I wasn't curious enough to take the risk."

After a pause, Zhou Chengzhe chuckled lightly. With a calm look on his face, he said, "Maybe I misunderstood Yun Xi. Maybe she was just taking a walk in the woods."

Lu Zhiwei retracted his gaze, furrowed his eyebrows, and glanced at Yun Xi, then asked in a calm voice, "Yun Xi, how do you explain this? Have you been to the forest behind the boys' dormitory?"

Yun Xi stood up and shook her head with an innocent look. "No, I haven't! The dormitory administrator said on the first day that girls are forbidden to approach the male dormitory. If I had gotten close to the dormitory, the other students must have seen me. All the male students in the class live in the boys' dormitory. Zhou Chengzhe said that he has seen me several times, and he can't be the only one, right? Teacher, you can ask the other students if they have seen me anywhere near the male dormitory."

Teacher Lu Zhiwei nodded, and his sharp eyes surveyed the huge classroom. "Has anyone else seen Yun Xi around the boys' dormitory?"

He wasn't sure about the credibility of Zhou Chengzhe's words. But that said, it was still possible that Yun Xi had done the crime. He needed more evidence.

The boys in the classroom looked at each other and shook their heads. There was quite a distance between the boys' dormitory and the girls' dormitory, and the school cafeteria was in the opposite direction. No matter what, a girl being near the boys' dormitory would arouse their hormones and cause a buzz.

No matter what the purpose for appearing near the dormitory was, as long as the other person was a female and a boy noticed her, he would inevitably whistle and cause a fuss.

Dating was forbidden in school. But subtle flirting couldn't be restrained.

Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Zhou Chengzhe suddenly became anxious. He quickly kicked Xie who was beside him, under the table.
