Chapter 99

Xiwei's words were sound and well‑evidenced, instantly causing the crowd to look at Su Xiyan with suspicion.

Earlier, many people in the library of Jingda University had seen her arguing with Xiwei and Feng Yan; as soon as they left the library, Feng Yan was taken away by an ambulance.

Now Feng Yan's mother was attacked again on the route she must take to school, and to make matters worse, she happened to appear there, and there was a glove bearing her fingerprints.

Whether motive or evidence, and even with Xiwei as a confident eyewitness, the whole incident had perfectly formed a closed loop!

Xiwei felt extremely pleased; it was the first time she had seen a solemn expression appear between Su Xiyan's brows, suggesting Su Xiyan truly could not produce an alibi.

The laboratory where Su Xiyan worked had never installed surveillance along the way to ensure experimental confidentiality; although the access card had fingerprint recognition, it could not sufficiently prove she was unable to commit the crime.

The biggest loophole in Xiwei's account now is that she also cannot provide surveillance; according to the principle of innocent until proven guilty, Su Xiyan can exonerate herself.

As long as she can explain it clearly, that glove!

Thinking of this, Su Xiyan curled the corner of her mouth.

Xiwei is ultimately an amateur; she doesn't realize that even if such a glove could yield her fingerprints, it would still pose a fatal problem,

namely,

"Xiwei, since you claim you can find the glove I used, why don't you just bring it out and show us?"

Hearing Su Xiyan take the bait, Xiwei first frowned, "Yanyan, I never expected you to remain so unrepentant—you won't shed tears until you see the coffin.

Must I really produce the evidence before you'll believe me?"

Su Xiyan nodded, her eyes flashing with arrogance, letting Xiwei relax her guard; as soon as Xiwei produced the glove, Su Xiyan instantly wore a shocked expression.

Seeing Su Xiyan look fearful, Xiwei became even more overjoyed and careless, raising her voice to the crowd:

"Look! This is the glove I just saw Su Xiyan using; she was wearing this glove when she lifted a stone and hurled it at Mrs. Feng!

Afterward, I saw her walk away quickly once she'd finished, and she tossed the glove into a nearby trash can.

To prevent her from escaping blame, I immediately picked up the glove and rushed back to check on Mrs. Feng.

I never expected Su Xiyan to be so brazen, returning to the scene right after committing the act!"

Upon hearing Xiwei's words, people nearby immediately chimed in:

"I've seen in detective movies that criminals always return to the crime scene afterward, just to admire their handiwork!"

"Huh, I've heard that too! I never thought the legendary Su God would be such a person!"

"Wow! This is outright criminal!"

"Even if Mrs. Feng once erred, since she now wants to apologize, there's no need to go to such extremes, right?"

The crowd had already been swayed by Xiwei's words to blame and condemn Su Xiyan unanimously, and some even began shouting:

"Call the police!"

"Call the police!"

"Exactly! We can't just let the criminal get away with it!"

Looking at the still‑blind crowd, Su Xiyan smirked contemptuously.

Even though the surroundings were now in an uproar, Su Xiyan's expression remained extraordinarily calm and composed; the fear she had shown earlier was merely a pretense to confuse Xiwei.

Such a petty trick was, in her view, utterly clumsy.

She sneered; seeing Su Xiyan's smile, Xiwei instinctively felt uneasy.

In order to quickly pin the blame on Su Xiyan, Xiwei immediately shouted sternly:

"Fellow students! Su Xiyan, as a murderer, must not be allowed to slip away unpunished!

Mrs. Feng's life hangs by a thread; I need to rush her to the hospital right now—please call the police immediately!"

Saying this, Xiwei was about to take Li Meng away; once Su Xiyan was detained by the police and Li Meng died on the way to the hospital, she would naturally have ample time to tidy up all loose ends and completely pin the crime on Su Xiyan.

Unfortunately, Xiwei's clever scheme had long been seen through by Su Xiyan; watching Xiwei rush to leave, Su Xiyan curled her lip and said:

"Xiwei, you're in such a hurry to leave—are you perhaps anxious to dispose of the evidence against yourself?"

That sentence made Xiwei's heart jolt violently.

She couldn't understand how Su Xiyan, who had just looked frightened, could suddenly appear completely composed, as if she had seen through her entirely, her gaze fixed straight on the right pocket of her coat.

There was a slight bulge, and inside lay exactly the glove she had worn to strike Li Meng, bearing her fingerprints.

Faced with Su Xiyan's demeanor, those who had originally been convinced she was the culprit now felt their convictions waver.

Some began to notice the loopholes in Xiwei's words,

"Actually, I've felt something odd since just now; have you noticed that if there's no surveillance to prove Su God's whereabouts,

then perhaps Xiwei's account from start to finish is merely her one‑sided version?

She claims she saw Su God strike Mrs. Feng with a stone, so why didn't she rush out immediately to stop it and send the victim to the hospital?

Instead, she ran to pick the glove from the trash can, then returned to help.

If Mrs. Feng were seriously injured, wouldn't she have died outright by the time all that was done?"

"Now that you put it that way, I also realize how strange it is!

Moreover, she says Mrs. Feng came to apologize to Su Xiyan, but how would she know Su Xiyan would be passing this route at that time?

It's quite possible that Xiwei told Su Xiyan, meaning Su Xiyan is the only one who beforehand knew the whereabouts of both Mrs. Feng and Su Xiyan."

Needless to say, as a top university of China, Jingda certainly has no shortage of elites.

Furthermore, those who usually appear in this experimental building are either elites from the medical school or geniuses in math, physics, and chemistry.

Even if they might initially be misled by Xiwei's words, after a bit of reasoning the inconsistencies are quickly spotted.

Hearing these people openly question her, and even hinting at interrogating her, Xiwei's face grew ever uglier.

Seeing the crowd surrounding her, Xiwei actually felt that the trapped turtle with no escape was herself!

Feeling that this year's students still had some redeeming qualities, Su Xiyan curled the corner of her mouth, still somewhat satisfied.

At last her efforts were not in vain; single‑handedly she had upheld Jingda.

As Xiwei's lies were about to be exposed in public, Li Meng suddenly met with an accident.

She had been merely lying there, but suddenly she began to tremble all over, foaming at the mouth, as if she were about to suffocate to death right away.

Su Xiyan's gaze instantly turned icy.
