"Tang Zheng, you poor bastard, quickly hand over the money you stole!"
"A few days ago I heard that your grandfather got sick. You must have stolen the money to treat your dead grandfather's illness. For a poor bastard like you to stay in our class is simply a disgrace."
"Do you still think you are the number one student in the city? Now you are the number one idiot from the bottom. The school should have expelled you long ago."
Tang Zheng's face turned red as he bit his lips, raised his neck and firmly said: "I didn't steal the money!"
"Sophistry, if it wasn't you then who stole it? You were the only one who stayed in the classroom during the exercises. Moreover, we are all rich people so how could we care about a few hundred dollars. You are the only one who is poor, if it wasn't you then who? Don't tell me the money can grow legs and run away? "
"Qiao Fei, you are speaking nonsense!" Tang Zheng's eyes were red. It was true that he was poor and his grandfather was sick, but he never stole from a young age.
His grandfather taught him from a young age that even poor people have their own integrity. Not stealing or robbing, living with a straight back is the foundation of being a person.
Tang Zheng was the child of a poor family and could be called a genius. From a young age, he displayed a unique learning ability. That year, he was the number one student in the city and was accepted by Peng Cheng International School. Furthermore, all tuition and fees were waived.
Tang Zheng lived up to everyone's expectations. For the past two years, he always maintained the number one student in the city and was Peng Cheng International School's living signboard.
However, not long after the start of the third year of high school, he was attacked and injured in the head on his way home. From then on, he was left with a chronic illness. As long as he thought about a problem, he would have a headache and his memory was extremely poor. Originally he could easily remember the knowledge, but now he had completely forgotten it.
This situation continued until now. Now that he was in the second semester of his third year, he still did not improve. Every time he took a mock exam, he was the last in his grade.
He fell from heaven to hell, causing those who were close to him to stay away and those who were jealous of him to rejoice in his misfortune.
However, Tang Zheng did not give up. He tried again and again to study hard, but every time he had a headache that almost made him faint.
During today's class exercise, six hundred dollars of class pay disappeared without a trace. At that time, he didn't do any exercises because of his headache, so the class monitor, Qiao Fei, insisted that he stayed in the classroom and stole the class pay.
"Qiao Fei, Tang Zheng has always been an honest person. How could he steal money?" A voice that sounded like the cry of a skylark rang out. Fang Shishi walked over.
Tang Zheng cast a grateful glance at her. Fang Shishi smiled, like a hundred flowers blooming, making everyone's breathing quicken.
Not only did Fang Shishi come from a prestigious family, but her academic performance was also outstanding. She used to be second in the school, but ever since Tang Zheng was injured, she became the first in the school.
However, the most eye-catching thing about her was her beauty. She was one of the two school beauties of Peng Cheng International School and was the dream lover of many students.
Qiao Fei liked Fang Shishi and had once publicly pursued her but was rejected. However, he did not give up and had always secretly coveted her.
Seeing her defend Tang Zheng, Qiao Fei's heart was filled with jealousy. Qiao Fei coldly said: "Is he an honest person? How come I don't know? How many poor people are honest? Every day you see on the news how poor people steal chickens and touch dogs for money. Isn't there a lot of breaking the law? "
"Yes, what Qiao Fei said is correct." The crowd echoed, filled with righteous indignation.
This was a private school for nobles. In the entire school, other than Tang Zheng who was a commoner, everyone else had a certain amount of wealth and had a natural sense of superiority.
Tang Zheng angrily glared: "Qiao Fei, even poor people have dignity. If I say I didn't steal, then I didn't steal."
"Ah, you still dare to yell at me. Poor people are poor. You don't have any manners at all. What, you still dare to glare at me. Do you want to hit me? Hit me, hit me! "Qiao Fei stretched his head over and proudly said.
Everyone else looked at Tang Zheng with ridicule. He had always been a good student and never caused trouble. In everyone's eyes, he was a bit weak.
Moreover, Qiao Fei was tall and strong. He was at least 1.8 meters while Tang Zheng was only 1.7 meters. The difference was too great, so he wouldn't dare to make a move.
Fang Shishi wrinkled her delicate nose and advised: "Qiao Fei, we're all classmates. Don't be like this."
"I didn't do anything. Didn't Tang Zheng want to hit me? I let him hit me." Qiao Fei proudly said. He was sure that Tang Zheng wouldn't dare to make a move. This would make him seem mighty and extraordinary.
"Tang Zheng, don't mind him. I believe that you didn't steal the money." Fang Shishi advised, but was immediately stunned. She saw a large fist smash into Qiao Fei's face.
"Ah!"
Qiao Fei screamed as he covered his nose. Blood flowed out from between his fingers.
Hiss ~
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. They stared at Tang Zheng as if they were looking at a ghost. He … actually dared to make a move!
"Beat him up for this daddy, fiercely beat him up!" Qiao Fei roared as several of his lackeys rushed towards Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng hurriedly protected his head. The fists were like rain falling on a banana leaf. Not only did he not scream, he clenched his teeth and stared at Qiao Fei with bloodshot eyes.
"Kill him. This poor bastard. Not only will I kill him, I will also kill his undying grandfather." Qiao Fei angrily roared. Ever since he was young, he had lived like a prince. When had he ever suffered like this? Not to mention it was in front of Fang Shishi. He had lost a lot of face. If he didn't get back at her, how would he survive?
Tang Zheng's eyes widened. His grandfather was his only family. If anyone dared to go against his grandfather, he wouldn't allow it.
Roar!
He was like a leopard breaking through the encirclement and pouncing onto Qiao Fei. There was a large difference in height between the two, but Tang Zheng had been training for many years, so his physical fitness was much better than the pampered Qiao Fei. His strength was also much greater, so he used both his fists and legs. Not long after, Qiao Fei turned into a pig head.
Everyone was stunned. Tang Zheng … how did he suddenly become so fierce?
Fang Shishi's mouth was wide open. Looking at Qiao Fei's pig head, she faintly felt relieved. Qiao Fei often harassed her and annoyed her to no end.
"What are you doing? Stop!" Suddenly, a thunderous roar rang out. Everyone's heart trembled. The old witch had appeared.
The old witch was their class teacher Wu Cuihong. She was around 50 years old. Her waist was round and her legs were thick. She was exceptionally fierce and everyone was afraid of her.
"Tang Zheng, what are you doing?" Wu Cuihong's anger rose.
Tang Zheng stopped punching. Qiao Fei immediately crawled up. He stared at Tang Zheng in panic and said: "You … you dare hit me."
"What is going on here?" Wu Cuihong's angry eyes swept over and asked in a dignified manner.
"Teacher, Tang Zheng stole the class fee and even beat someone up." A few of the lackeys hurriedly added fuel to the fire.
"I didn't steal the money!" Tang Zheng stubbornly retorted.
Wu Cuihong immediately deeply wrinkled her eyebrows. She looked at Tang Zheng with displeasure. Previously, she thought that she had picked up a treasure. After all, he was always the first in the city. As a class teacher, she felt honored. But from the bottom of her heart, she looked down on the poor Tang Zheng.
After Tang Zheng fell from the altar and became the last in the class, her attitude towards Tang Zheng completely changed. She did not have any good feelings towards him.
This was because not only did Tang Zheng not bring any benefits to her, but he also became a burden to her. She had always been requesting the school to transfer Tang Zheng to another class or to expel him. But the school had not made a final decision.
Wu Cuihong suddenly had an idea. This was a once in a lifetime opportunity to get rid of this burden.
"The rest of you go back to your seats and study. A few students come and help Qiao Fei to the infirmary. Tang Zheng, you come with me." Wu Cuihong coldly ordered.
"This time Tang Zheng is in trouble. I don't know how the old witch will deal with him." Someone said in schadenfreude.
Looking at Tang Zheng's back, Fang Shishi's expression was complicated. She lightly bit her teeth and ran after him. "Teacher, I believe that Tang Zheng did not steal the money. There must be a misunderstanding."
Wu Cuihong stopped and amiably looked at Fang Shishi and said: "Shishi, money will not grow wings and fly away. Since so many people are saying that Tang Zheng stole it, then it must be true. You should quickly go back to class."
"No, there must be a misunderstanding." Fang Shishi insisted.
Wu Cuihong's face sank, but still amiably said: "Shishi, you must believe in teacher. Teacher will take care of this."
Fang Shishi looked at Tang Zheng and found that Tang Zheng was clenching his teeth and did not say a word. It was clear that he had suffered a great grievance.
Wu Cuihong did not want to say anything more and directly brought Tang Zheng downstairs.
"Tang Zheng, not only are your grades bad, you are dragging the class down. Now you are stealing money and hitting people. Tell me, what are you trying to do? Is this something a student should do?" At the bottom of the school building, Wu Cuihong fiercely criticized.
"Teacher, I did not steal the money. Qiao Fei slandered me so I hit him."
"Heng, if he slandered you, why didn't he slandered the other students? A righteous man is not afraid of a crooked shadow. "Wu Cuihong said with contempt.
Tang Zheng angrily glared at her. As a teacher, she actually did not investigate before jumping to conclusions. He used to respect her so much, but he was simply blind.
"You don't need to go to class today. Go and clean the basement of the laboratory." Wu Cuihong looked at him with disgust and waved her hand.
"Ghost building?" Tang Zheng was shocked.
Wu Cuihong's eyebrows jumped and said: "Nonsense, what ghost building? If you dare to speak nonsense again, I will make you call your parents. "
Tang Zheng swallowed his saliva and did not speak. His grandfather was already sick so how could he come to school. Moreover, he could not tell him about his situation at school. Otherwise, he would definitely be very sad and worsen his condition.
He did not dare to tell his grandfather that his grades had dropped because he was his grandfather's pride. He did not have the heart to make his grandfather sad so he always strived to overcome the difficulties and return to the peak so that his grandfather could continue to be happy.
The laboratory building was called the ghost building by the students. It was not out of thin air. A few years ago, a horrifying incident occurred here. A female student suddenly died in the basement of the laboratory building. It was said that her blood was sucked dry and she turned into a mummified corpse.
In the end, the police were unable to find anything and the school even invited a senior monk to perform a ritual. In the following years, there were no more strange occurrences. However, the legend of the ghost building spread like wildfire. Unless it was for a laboratory class, no one was willing to come here.
Wu Cuihong wanted him to clean the basement. It was clear that she did not have good intentions and wanted to scare him or make him end up like that female student.
"Heng, I'm not scared." Tang Zheng's courage was not small. Wu Cuihong deliberately wanted to scare him. If he cowered then wouldn't that be fulfilling her intentions?
Creak!
The basement door was pushed open and a damp and musty smell rushed out. Tang Zheng shivered as the basement was much colder than the outside …
