“Ma Feiyang?”
Qin Tian still remembered the name.
“Yes, yes, it’s this guy!”
Chen Zhuang nodded heavily, his expression serious. “I think this guy is highly suspicious. Should we go find him?”
Qin Tian didn’t reply immediately, a thoughtful expression on his face.
“Chen Zhuang, who are you talking about?”
Shen Siqi asked with a confused look.
“I haven’t seen him either, just heard about him. This guy openly said he likes Xia Nuannuan and said some things that targeted Brother Tian.”
Chen Zhuang shook his head.
Xia Nuannuan was stunned upon hearing this and looked at Qin Tian with surprise.
“It might be that guy who kept pestering you on freshman registration day and followed you to the reception point,”
Qin Tian helped her recall.
“It was him!”
Xia Nuannuan remembered, her delicate eyebrows furrowed.
Lu Lei, who was present at the time, also showed a look of realization.
“Who are you guys talking about? I have no idea.”
Cheng Meng asked, completely bewildered.
“Me neither!”
Shen Siqi chimed in.
“It’s fine if Brother Tian and the others know him. Brother Tian, what do you say? Shall we go find him?”
Chen Zhuang’s eyes were eager.
Qin Tian shook his head. “He’s only a suspect. Let’s not act rashly without evidence. Let’s wait for the police’s investigation results.”
Everyone thought this made sense.
“Nuannuan, we’ll head back to the dorms then. You guys should go rest too. The police will call me when they have any results.”
Qin Tian said to Xia Nuannuan.
“Okay!”
Xia Nuannuan nodded, then looked at the glaring scratch on the car with concern.
“It’s fine. I’ll take it to the shop to fix it later. I guarantee it’ll be restored to its original condition!”
Qin Tian comforted her with a smile.
Xia Nuannuan replied, “Then you guys go back to the dorms first, bye!”
“Yes, let’s go!”
With that, Qin Tian and the other three turned and left, heading towards the dorms.
Xia Nuannuan and the other three also entered the dormitory building, preparing to go upstairs to their rooms.
“You guys think it might have been that Ma Feiyang who did it?”
Shen Siqi couldn’t help but ask.
“It’s possible, but speculation is unnecessary without concrete evidence.”
Lu Lei said calmly.
“If it really was him, I’ll be very angry.”
Xia Nuannuan suddenly said.
Cheng Meng and the other two looked at her.
“I’ve kept the gifts he gave me carefully. The value of this car is another matter, but I can’t accept it being intentionally damaged.”
“Nuannuan, we understand you!”
“Yes, we’ll definitely support you. If this Ma Feiyang really did it, we absolutely won’t forgive him!”
…
…
The police had arrived and confirmed that the suspect was a male. Through the students who were watching and spreading the news, many students who were paying attention to the matter soon knew about it.
Ma Feiyang naturally found out quickly, turning pale and losing his composure.
He hadn’t heard a single word the teacher said during the entire class.
He kept telling himself over and over that the police wouldn’t be able to find him.
At the same time, he secretly kept an eye on Li Lei, worried that he would report him.
Li Lei also noticed this and felt extremely disgusted.
He had kindly suggested that Ma Feiyang admit his mistake and apologize to resolve the troublesome matter.
Not only did Ma Feiyang not appreciate it, but he also treated him as a mole, which was truly disgusting.
Li Lei didn’t care anymore and was just waiting to see how this fool Ma Feiyang would deal with the aftermath.
Time came to noon.
In the school cafeteria.
Ma Feiyang was sitting alone in a corner, eating lunch without any appetite.
Although he wasn't popular with the girls in the class, he still had a few friends he could talk to, so he wouldn't have to eat lunch alone.
However, today, he just wanted to minimize his presence and disappear.
“Quick, look, Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan are here.”
“Where, where, I see them. Didn’t they say the police came to investigate this morning? Why is there no news?”
“Who knows? But I don’t think that person can escape. It’s only a matter of time before they’re found.”
“Indeed, there are so many eyes in the school, plus the surveillance cameras, they’ll find some traces.”
“I wonder which idiot dared to do this. That’s a car worth almost seven million. How much compensation will that be!”
“In this situation, paying money is the least of it. Once they’re found, they’ll be completely humiliated.”
“They deserve it. We’ll just wait and watch the show!”
“…”
Listening to the discussions around him, Ma Feiyang’s fear grew stronger.
He lowered his head, watching Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan buy their food, then carrying their trays to find a seat to eat.
Should I go and admit my mistake?
No, I can’t. So many people are watching, it’s too embarrassing. What face would I have left to stay in this school?
Ma Feiyang’s mind was in turmoil, filled with entanglement and regret.
“Eat more.”
Qin Tian put a piece of rib, which she liked, into Xia Nuannuan’s bowl.
At this moment, his phone rang in his pocket.
He quickly took it out and saw that it was the police officer he had added that morning.
“Hello, Officer Wu!”
“Qin Tian, where are you now?”
Officer Wu’s voice came from the other end.
The surroundings fell into an eerie silence, and many students pricked up their ears, wanting to eavesdrop on some information.
“I’m eating in the cafeteria. What’s wrong? Is there any result from the investigation?”
Qin Tian asked calmly.
Xia Nuannuan’s chopsticks also stopped, and she looked at him with a serious expression.
“Yes, there is a result, but…”
Officer Wu hesitated.
“What is it?”
“Student Qin Tian, I am the Dean of the School of Civil Engineering. Which cafeteria are you in? We’ll come find you.”
Suddenly, a strange voice sounded.
Qin Tian was stunned and replied, “We are in the second cafeteria.”
“Okay, we’re coming over now.”
“Qin Tian, we’ll come find you first. We’ll talk when we get there.”
“Okay!”
Qin Tian guessed some of the clues and agreed.
The other side hung up the phone.
“Are the two officers coming over?”
Xia Nuannuan asked curiously.
“Yes, and some school leaders, the Dean of the School of Civil Engineering.”
Qin Tian nodded.
“The Dean?”
Xia Nuannuan was also stunned.
“No matter what, let’s eat first. We’ll talk when they arrive.”
“Okay!”
The two continued to eat.
However, the students around could not remain calm and started discussing intensely.
Not far away, Ma Feiyang couldn’t bear to stay any longer. He stopped eating and quickly left with his tray after placing it in the designated area, his legs feeling weak.
A moment later, two police officers and a middle-aged man who was slightly overweight walked into the cafeteria.
In the cafeteria, gazes immediately focused on the three of them.
Not only were the police officers’ uniforms too conspicuous, but many students also recognized the middle-aged man.
“It’s Dean Liu from the School of Civil Engineering. Why is he here with the police?”
