My wife is a witch princess.
Page 22
At the next table, several boys were laughing through the openwork wooden panel. "It's hilarious! They're such good students who listen to their teachers, the best flowers of our motherland."
Jiang Shuo, unable to bear it any longer, stood up abruptly.
Song Che sighed, holding a glass teacup in his hand. He then stood up, and the two of them pushed the stools apart with their legs, making a scraping sound. The two of them and the five boys opposite them stared at each other.
Upon meeting his gaze, a hint of anger suddenly appeared between Song Che's brows.
This anger was even greater than Jiang Shuo's, and even more intense than Xia Li's.
Jiang Shuo: "Brother Che, I'll handle this myself. Don't worry about it."
Song Che grabbed Jiang Shuo, who was about to show off, and whispered, "Do you trust me? If you do, let me do it. You can't handle this."
In Song Che's eyes, each of the seven people had two labels above their heads.
The labels are different, but the seven people have one label that is highly similar.
"Tang Xiaoniang: Accidental Death Due to Abuse"
Song Che retracted what he had said earlier.
The people sitting here... are not all human.
These kids... are ruthless.
Song Che is no naive child. His decades of fighting experience are no joke. Although he is a magician, he was very enthusiastic in the first few years after his transmigration and learned a lot of warrior skills and forging techniques. If it really came down to a fight, he could take on two people. If he had weapons, he could take on five!
But the focus right now isn't on fighting.
A life for a life. The fact that these people could openly eat at the Four Seasons Restaurant proves three things.
First, their murders have not yet been exposed.
Second, if someone can still eat after killing someone, they must have done a lot of beastly things in their daily life.
Third, it's just a few children. In modern society, it's impossible to kill someone without being exposed, which means... Tang Xiaoniang's death occurred during this period.
Regardless of who was right or wrong in the cause, the fact that seven people dared to abuse and bully each other is no different from murder, making it a truly heinous incident.
This matter... needs to be addressed!
Just as Song Che was about to go over, Jiang Xiaoxiao wiped her eyes and went over first, her voice trembling with tears as she stood in front of Jiang Shuo and herself.
Seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao move, Xia Li immediately followed, standing at the front with her legs straight, her voice carrying the majesty of a witch, her expression focused and cold.
"You step back, I'll handle this."
Your Highness, please don't say such strange things while wearing pajamas.
Chapter 24 is mostly about excessive self-blame.
"Please stop talking. It's my birthday today, and I just want to have a quiet meal. It was my mistake to ignore you before, and I apologize. But I really don't like you, so I don't want to lie to you. I think it's bad to string someone along, and it's even worse to lie to someone."
Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes were slightly red. She didn't want to see her brother fight for her sake, and she didn't want to see the person who saved her brother fight along with him.
Both her older brothers are very good people, and her older sister is also a very good person. She doesn't want things to turn out this way. Jiang Xiaoxiao loves her older brothers and sisters and doesn't want them to get hurt because of this.
"So... this is your attitude towards apologizing?"
Among the five boys, a tall guy who was 1.8 meters tall stepped forward, looking down at them with an air of intimidation, "Make that pretty girl apologize too, and maybe I'll forgive you."
A glint of greed flashed in the boy's eyes as he teased, "Don't pretend to be serious with your silver hair. Give me a smile."
I'll fucking laugh at you, okay?
Song Che held Jiang Shuo's hand tightly, while patting Jiang Xiaoxiao's shoulder, "Hold your brother's hand, I'll handle this."
Song Che's voice was calm, but the five boys on the other side were all stunned. They felt the so-called aura, the kind of murderous intent that is often talked about in movies and anime. This was because Song Che's eyes were fixed on their hearts, waists, genitals and other parts that could be fatal to a single blow. It seemed that he was about to launch an attack at any time. This kind of pre-attack gaze often puts a lot of psychological pressure on the opponent.
The air condensed for half a second.
Song Che suddenly laughed. There was no need to take action. If he really wanted to, he was sure he could take one down, but now he wanted to try a different approach.
He didn't want to directly report the other party to the police and have them arrested; he wanted to make this kind of person pay the price.
All I have to do is endure a little, letting them be smug for a couple more seconds.
"Everyone, I feel that we are indeed in the way, but I have something very important to tell you now, and I don't know if you are interested in hearing it."
"Speak." The leading boy took another half step forward, his gaze sweeping over Xia Li's body. He was completely powerless against this 'aloof' type.
"I think you should skip eating and go to the hospital first. The girl behind you seems to be feeling unwell."
After Song Che finished speaking, several boys turned around. Behind them were two girls who were quite good-looking, but they were wearing makeup. One had a lip piercing and a tongue piercing, and the other was chewing betel nut.
"Which of you is feeling unwell?" the boy in the lead asked.
"No, I'm not feeling unwell. You know, my period hasn't come yet. He must be terrified and just talking nonsense."
The boy in the lead frowned, veins throbbing on his forehead. "Are you kidding me?"
Song Che shrugged innocently, "No, that girl looks like she's about to die. She's bleeding a lot, and she seems to be talking, spitting out bloody foam. I really suggest you take them to the hospital to get checked out. It's not too late to come back for dinner after that..."
Jiang Shuo looked at Song Che as if he were an idiot, "Brother... don't scare me, what's wrong with you? Did you have a stroke?"
Screw your stroke, don't disturb my performance.
"Don't worry about it, protect your sister and Xia Li."
Song Che coughed twice and then started saying strange things again: "You're all wondering what I'm talking about, right?"
Several people nodded, but their brows were furrowed.
Song Che: "None of you know me, and this is the first time you've seen me today. Besides, the senior year and the freshman year aren't even on the same campus. All three grades at No. 1 High School are closed, right?"
Several people nodded.
Song Che: "That makes sense."
He leaned close to the leader's ear and whispered, "The girl behind you is called... Tang Xiao Niang. She said she's in so much pain, her vision is so dark, and her body is so cold. She wants to go to the hospital, but she's too scared to go anymore. She's bleeding to death. Please, please save her."
After saying that, Song Che pursed his lips innocently.
The boy in the lead suddenly felt weak in the knees and was about to kneel down when Song Che caught him. "What's wrong? Why are your legs weak? Should I call 110... oh no, 120 for you?"
"No, please don't." The boy in the lead looked on with fear and bewilderment. He couldn't understand how the other party knew all this, and even Tang Xiaoniang's last words were almost identical.
"Let's go, I'm leaving."
The boy in the lead stood up, holding onto the stool, and was about to leave, but Song Che stopped him, saying, "Don't go, if you leave, how will you get her to the hospital?"
The boy's legs went completely limp. "Where? Where is she? Tell me where she is?"
His voice was filled with obvious fear. The boy in the lead was certain that he had never seen Song Che before, so it was impossible for him to have seen him. But what he was afraid of now was not only that things would be exposed, but also the things that Song Che had said, some of which Tang Xiaoniang had also said.
He trembled, his voice breaking, "Go, go quickly, there's something wrong with this person, something's not right, run, we have to run!"
"Big brother, what did he say?"
“It’s Tang Xiaoniang…it’s Tang Xiaoniang.”
The group's expressions changed, and when they looked at Song Che again, he had already dialed the police and the call was connected.
"Hello, I want to report this to the police anonymously. I will not provide my address or other contact information, but I guarantee that I will take legal responsibility for what I say!"
A woman's voice came clearly from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, please speak."
“I’m reporting that someone accidentally killed someone and is plotting to dispose of the body. I was eavesdropping next door, but I didn’t hear the victim’s name clearly. It was probably Tang Xiaoniang. The suspects are a group of seven people gathered on the second floor of Siji Renjia. They are very aggressive. I’m so scared. They are terrifying.”
With time running out, Song Che tried his best to make his logic consistent in order to avoid being unable to explain himself when questioned by the police.
"Law enforcement officers from Nanhui will be on their way immediately. Please ensure your safety and that your phone is reachable. Thank you for providing the information."
"It seems like they're trying to run away. It's all my fault for alerting them, I'm sorry. But I was really scared. They were openly discussing something, and I'm just a student, so I was terrified that I called the police immediately."
Song Che blamed it on the fact that he had overheard the group discussing how to dispose of the body. In reality, all seven of them were completely dumbfounded. In broad daylight, what idiot would loudly conspire to dispose of a body?
The seven people looked at each other, their eyes revealing a sense of reproach.
Who the hell leaked this information out there?!
The voice continued to come from the other end of the phone.
"Please don't blame yourself. Law enforcement officers will block the intersection in ten minutes. Some of the law enforcement officers from the No. 1 Middle School branch have already arrived."
Ultimately, the seven of them were just kids. Song Che's phone was on speakerphone, and the adult men eating around them had blocked the stairs leading downstairs.
Adult upright apes... terrifying!
There were eight tables on the second floor. The people at seven tables surrounded the seven people. Regardless of whether they were the murderers or not, they surrounded them first.
Seven tables vs. seven people.
Do you think you will win?
Jiang Shuo didn't know, and neither did Xia Li.
Four big, round eyes stared at Song Che, filled with question marks.
"Brother Che, who is Tang Xiaoniang?"
Song Che whispered, "I didn't know. I just heard them talking about it. I got scared and called the police. Aren't you scared? Someone died."
Jiang Shuo: "I don't understand what you mean. Shouldn't it be that they insulted us? How did it get to murder? Making a false police report is illegal!"
"Shh, keep your voice down. Are you trying to drive me crazy?" Song Che couldn't explain, so he could only purse his lips and pretend to be human like Xia Li. "Can't I have good hearing? I can't possibly have magic or mind-reading abilities. Do you think that's reasonable?"
"unreasonable."
"That makes sense. I heard it, which is why I said, 'If you trust me, let me do it.' I wouldn't have said that if I wasn't confident."
"That's true, but why didn't I hear it?"
You are deaf and cannot see the label.
Jiang Shuo was still puzzled, but couldn't find any loopholes in what Song Che said. However, the seven people involved were the most puzzled. They were certain that none of them had said such a thing.
But they have no choice in this matter; murder is murder. Once the police have investigated, a great scholar will surely defend Song Che.
Song Che believed that his story of "hearing about a conspiracy" and "being afraid to call the police" had no logical flaws and that he wouldn't be able to explain why he knew about it when questioned.
Even if the other party denies that they gathered to discuss this matter, Song Che believes that the police will believe him, not the seven murderers.
Xia Li's usually cold face showed emotion as she grabbed Song Che's arm. "...Liar, you said last time you didn't know magic."
