Chapter 481: Chapter 38: The Cannon Fodder Stepsister Doesn’t Want to Die

The day before school started, Qiao Chuweng was at home taking a yoga class when suddenly two policemen came to the door.

After the servant opened the door, Qiao Chuweng had already calmed her nerves, sitting on the sofa wiping her sweat while accepting the questioning.

"Were you also participating in the racing event on the night of January 22?"

Qiao Chuweng nodded, her face showing some flawlessly feigned confusion.

"What’s wrong? Did something happen?"

"You’ll find out eventually. Just answer truthfully whatever we ask."

Back and forth, Qiao Chuweng responded calmly.

Finally, as the two staff members were about to leave, Qiao Chuweng curiously asked.

"Did something happen on the mountain?"

The staff looked at her.

"If nothing happened, we wouldn’t be here to learn about the situation from you. Do you have anything else to say?"

"Why don’t you just investigate the surveillance on the mountain? There must be cameras in such private places."

"There is a surveillance blind spot on the mountain. If Miss Qiao has other clues, she can tell us."

After seeing off the two policemen, Qiao Chuweng was tense and could do nothing else, only eager to find out what happened to the person on the path.

She pretended to be curious, asking around, and finally learned from a classmate that someone had been hit and killed on the path, but no one knew the details.

The entire day, it felt as if ants were crawling all over Qiao Chuweng’s heart, leaving her restless.

After much hesitation, she finally called Fu Ming.

"Did the police come to you today?"

"Yes."

"Did your father find out anything? After all, I organized the event, and I’m really guilty about what happened, not knowing who exactly hit the person."

Fu Ming was silent for a while.

"I’m not paying attention to this. In the end, whoever did it will be found out, so don’t overthink it."

The more Qiao Chuweng listened, the more panicked she felt.

It was too dark at the time, the light was dim, and after hitting someone, her instinct was to flee, not knowing if she left any evidence in her panic.

The only thing she could handle in time was the marks on the motorcycle.

But soon she thought, now the path is already blocked off, if there was any evidence, it should have been found by now.

And being able to sit here safely just proves there was no evidence found on that road.

Meanwhile at the Jiang Family, the police had just left.

"What do you think? What are you going to do?"

Jiang Lai silently shook his head at the papers in front of him.

"Do nothing at all."

"I can tell you exactly what Qiao Chuweng has done, so when it lands on your head, don’t blame me for not warning you."

Jiang Lai looked up, glancing out the window.

"Then let’s see if she has that ability."

Little Buding had nothing more to say.

On the day school started, Qiao Chuweng arrived early at the classroom, barely dealing with student council matters before sitting in her seat, occasionally glancing at the door.

As the class bell was about to ring, there was still no sign of Jiang Lai at the door, making Qiao Chuweng’s anxiety rise along with a hidden excitement within her.

If Jiang Lai doesn’t show up, it means she’s definitely been taken away as a suspect. As long as she doesn’t appear...

Just as she was thinking that, at the moment the class bell rang, Jiang Lai walked into the classroom with the sound of the bell.

At the sight of her, the pen in Qiao Chuweng’s hand almost snapped.

Jiang Lai showed up. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

This proved that all the marks she had left on the motorcycle were covered up.

In the first math class, as the teacher’s favorite student, Qiao Chuweng was routinely called to answer questions.

She excelled in back-and-forth exchanges with the teacher, answering smoothly.

There were also teachers in the back of the class observing, and to ensure a smooth lesson, the math teacher directly called on Qiao Chuweng.

Still preoccupied with other matters, Qiao Chuweng was lost when called by name, standing up abruptly after Fu Ming’s reminder, feeling only panic as she looked at the math teacher.

"Qiao Chuweng, what’s your answer?"

Qiao Chuweng gritted her teeth.

She hadn’t even heard the question, so how could she know the answer?

As time passed, the class fell into dead silence.

Qiao Chuweng had never felt such embarrassment, clutching her fists and looking at the math teacher, barely holding her composure as she asked.

"Sorry teacher, I didn’t catch the question earlier, could you repeat it?"

The math teacher frowned.

Glancing at the teachers sitting at the back of the class, she didn’t have much time to waste, so directly frowned and said.

"Then you sit down. Jiang Lai, answer the question."

Jiang Lai stood up, answering the question fluently and smoothly, to which the math teacher nodded and said "very good," before continuing with the lesson.

It was just a minor episode, not a big deal.

The students didn’t think much of it either, assuming that Qiao Chuweng might have been unwell and didn’t hear the question.

As for calling Jiang Lai to answer instead, it was even more normal, given her top-notch math grades from the last two months.

After class ended, everyone almost forgot about what happened in today’s class, and the students sitting in front turned back as usual to ask Qiao Chuweng questions.

"Chu Wen, this question you..."

"I don’t know, go ask someone who does."

Qiao Chuweng’s face looked terrible.

Others were used to her constant smile and calm demeanor.

This sudden harsh rejection left the front row student stunned for a moment before turning back in confusion.

What happened to Qiao Chuweng?

Meanwhile, people were gathering around Jiang Lai as well, asking her about the math question the teacher posed earlier.

A normal scene, yet in Qiao Chuweng’s eyes, it seemed ostentatious and glaring.

Like a blatant mockery towards her.

In front of the teacher and classmates, she had lost face, whereas Jiang Lai had stepped on her dignity to gain a sense of superiority.

Qiao Chuweng’s expression grew colder.

The next class was gym.

Many girls habitually gathered around Qiao Chuweng because she was the captain of the school’s basketball cheerleading team. The team was about to compete, and as captain, she had the privilege of choosing cheerleaders, so girls with ambitions naturally wanted to stay on good terms with her.

"Recently, the study load is heavy, so let’s leave the cheerleading captain to someone with more stable grades. I think Jiang Lai is perfect, she’s beautiful and has good grades."

Of course, everyone wanted to persuade her.

"Chu Wen, what are you thinking? Is there anyone in the whole school more suitable for being cheerleading captain than you? Jiang Lai is just a bookworm; she definitely doesn’t cheer better than you."

"Yeah, has someone been whispering nonsense in your ear? Recently Jiang Lai has been very high-profile, feels like she’s opposing our Chu Wen everywhere."

Qiao Chuweng just smiled helplessly.
