But soon the principal reacted and put on an impeccable smile:
"Director Li? It's really Director Li!"
"Director Li! What brings you here? Come in and take a seat!"
Glancing at me, he immediately put on another face: "Is it you, this shameless thing! You've even brought the leader of the Provincial Public Security Department here!"
"Don't worry, Director Li. We've already expelled her. Then we'll make her issue a statement saying it has nothing to do with the school, and we can get the school out of this mess."
Aunt Li waved away the principal's flattering hand.
"Who gave you the guts to expel her? Your own student was being slandered and insulted, but instead of protecting her, you expelled her and made her take the blame for the school?"
"With you acting as the principal like this, I think you don't need to be one anymore!"
The principal looked very aggrieved: "But those aren't rumors. There are videos and pictures, and everyone is saying so."
"Those are just online pictures and videos. You haven't even investigated! Do you know if those pictures and videos are doctored? You just believe whatever is said online. Being so spineless and following the crowd, I think you don't need to be the principal either."
"The students showed me those videos and pictures. They don't look fake."
Aunt Li scolded angrily: "Have you found someone or an institution to appraise them? What's the use of just talking! Has your school investigated clearly? Are you going to ruin the future of a hero's descendant and force his widow to death just based on online rumors and the起哄 of a few students?"
"We'll investigate right now. We'll find an institution to appraise them right now!"
"You don't need to investigate. I've brought people from the province to investigate personally!"
Aunt Li waved her hand, signaling the police officers to take action: "First, investigate the so - called theft!"
All the classmates in the class were called to the meeting room.
"Are you sure it was Emily who stole and swapped the watch?"
There was complete silence at the scene. No one said a word.
One of Sophia's lackeys whispered: "If it wasn't her, then who else could it be? She's the only one who didn't go to see the class monitor and didn't contribute the full £20,000. She's the only one who would covet this watch."
The police officer sneered: "So you have no evidence at all. You just believed it was Emily because Sophia said so."
Aunt Li took a deep breath in anger and waved her hand.
The surveillance video of the class appeared on the white screen in the meeting room.
It showed that after Sophia brought the watch to the class and showed it to the classmates for a moment, she immediately put it into her schoolbag.
She never showed it to me. Even the classmates just took a quick glance at it.
After that, Sophia took the watch home and never took it out again.
And I hadn't had any contact with Sophia these days. I hadn't even gotten close to her desk.
After the video finished playing, a picture popped up.
It was the receipt for the watch Sophia bought, showing that it only cost £50,000, while the watch in the counter was sold for nearly £600,000.
Then there were the chat records between Sophia and her lackey.
[Sister Sophia bought it. It's an absolute high - quality fake. Look, doesn't it look exactly the same as the genuine one?]
[It really does. Those fools definitely won't be able to tell.]
[Sister Sophia, now you have money to participate in the racing competition. You promised to give me £10,000.]
[Here you go. You did a good job.]
Then there were pictures of Sophia going to the high - quality fake watch store to buy the watch.
As soon as these pieces of evidence were presented, the whole room was in an uproar.
Sophia blushed with anger but couldn't refute.
The classmates all cursed Sophia.
"Sophia, you bastard! You cheated our money to play with your cars! And you pushed the blame onto Emily. You're so damn shameless!"
"You jerk! How could you do this? Are you worthy of us who believed in you? Are you worthy of the class monitor?"
"Give the money back! Give my £20,000 back!"
"Give the money back, you bitch!"
Some of the more hot - tempered girls directly went up to push and shove Sophia. Sophia was pressed to the ground and beaten.
Sophia looked at me with hatred in her eyes: "So what if I took the money? Even if Emily didn't steal and swap the watch, what kind of good person is she?!"
"What she did is even more disgusting! She's even more of a loser than me!"
"Emily, do you think you're a good person just because you exposed me?!"
Now everyone's attention was drawn back to me.
Aunt Li immediately took out my materials: "Comrade Jack, Emily's father, is a highly meritorious police officer! He sacrificed his life for the country while on a mission! Do you think you can slander his child at will?"
"Emily's school enrollment was specially approved by the province, but you used this to spread rumors about her and her mother!"
