Chapter 559: The Culprit is a Man

Li Lei and Ma Feiyang could be considered birds of a feather; they were quite jealous of and unconvinced by Qin Tian, whom they had heard people whispering about ever since he entered the school.

Precisely because of this, the two had a pretty good relationship.

When Ma Feiyang made snide remarks targeting Qin Tian, he would also chime in with a few words of agreement.

However, jealousy is just jealousy; in truth, it was more envy, and he didn't harbor much malice toward Qin Tian, whom he didn't know at all.

Yesterday, hearing that Qin Tian had fulfilled his promise to buy his girlfriend a birthday gift and had picked up a luxury car worth millions, he felt a bit of admiration deep down, in addition to his envy and jealousy.

Therefore, when Ma Feiyang was still being skeptical and wanted them to help smear Qin Tian together, he refused outright.

Just kidding, there has to be a limit to jealousy!

And the mistake Ma Feiyang might have made now completely exceeded that limit.

"Brother, you..."

"No, it wasn't me!"

Ma Feiyang didn't wait for him to finish before speaking up to deny it.

As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized he had given himself away, and his expression instantly turned stiff.

The look in Li Lei's eyes as he watched him became even stranger.

"Leizi, no, Brother Lei, I beg you, don't..."

Ma Feiyang looked at him with pleading eyes and shook his head, signaling him not to tell anyone.

Li Lei sighed and said in a low voice, "Brother, you are being foolish!"

He lowered his voice and tried to persuade him: "I think you should go apologize. Lower your head and admit your mistake sincerely, and beg the senior to let you off. This is no small matter!"

"No, I can't go. He won't let me off."

Ma Feiyang refused directly.

"Brother, really, it's best if you go. I haven't met Qin Tian, but from what they say, the senior shouldn't be the type to be petty. This matter can't be hidden."

Li Lei continued to persuade him with a serious expression.

"It's, it's fine. As long as you don't say anything, they definitely won't be able to find out."

Ma Feiyang said with a firm tone.

"If you are really going to be this stubborn, there is nothing I can do."

Li Lei coldly picked up his books, stood up, and walked away, intending to find another seat.

"Brother Lei..."

Ma Feiyang let out an urgent cry.

However, Li Lei pretended not to hear him and, without looking back, sat down in an empty seat not far away.

After waiting for a while, they saw a police car drive over.

Once the news spread, there were clearly more students coming over to watch.

After the police car stopped nearby, two officers, a man and a woman, got out of the vehicle.

The male officer was slightly older, while the female officer was much younger, appearing to be in her twenties.

Seeing the two approach, the watching students immediately cleared a path.

"Who called the police?"

The middle-aged male officer asked loudly.

"I, I called the police!"

Qin Tian immediately responded.

The two officers walked to his side, their gazes falling on the scratches on the car.

"New car?"

The middle-aged male officer said with some surprise.

"Yes, I just picked it up from the dealership yesterday."

Qin Tian nodded and said.

"You said on the phone that this is your girlfriend's car?"

"Yes, it's a birthday gift I gave her. This is my girlfriend, Xia Nuannuan."

"Hello, officers!"

Xia Nuannuan greeted them somewhat nervously.

The two officers looked at her with curious eyes, and the young female officer's eyes showed a hint of envy.

Regardless of whether the boy was a rich second generation or how much money his family had, being able to spend such a large sum of money to buy a luxury car for his girlfriend was enough to show his love for her.

"Don't be nervous, tell us the specific situation!"

The female officer said with a smile and a kind tone.

Xia Nuannuan nodded in response and recounted the matter from beginning to end.

After listening, the two officers had a rough idea of the situation.

"Does the car's dashcam have a parking surveillance function?"

The middle-aged officer looked at Qin Tian and asked.

"Yes, I haven't checked the recordings yet."

"Then let's take a look first!"

"Okay!"

Subsequently, Qin Tian and the middle-aged officer checked the surveillance footage from last night together.

Very quickly, the two found a hooded figure in the recording.

Because the lighting was quite dim, the face could not be seen clearly, but it could be determined that it was a male student.

It was already ten o'clock at night at that time; generally speaking, it was unlikely for a male student to appear downstairs at this female dormitory building at such an hour.

Not only that, but when the male student walked past, he was very close to the car.

It could basically be proven that this hooded man in the recording was the suspect.

Upon learning that the person who scratched the car was actually a male, Shen Siqi and the others were all astonished.

"You girls are all from this dormitory building, right? Around ten o'clock last night, did anyone see a male student passing through here?"

Caitlyn scanned the surrounding girls with her gaze and asked loudly.

The girls shook their heads one after another.

"If there are no surprises, it should be the work of a student from the same school. Have you had any grudges with anyone recently?"

The middle-aged police officer looked at Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan and asked.

Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan exchanged a glance, then both spoke up to say no.

"Then it might be someone acting out of jealousy; there are also many people who hate the rich. Regarding this point, do you have any leads?"

The middle-aged police officer asked again.

"Officer, your question isn't very useful. There are just too many male students at our school who are jealous of Brother Tian."

Chen Zhuang took over the conversation with a chuckle.

"Chen Zhuang!"

Qin Tian turned his head and glared at him.

Chen Zhuang grinned.

The middle-aged police officer glanced at Xia Nuannuan to the side, nodded with a smile, and changed the subject: "We need to go to your school's security office to pull the surveillance footage from the closest point to see if we can catch a shot of his face."

"Then do I need to go with you?"

Qin Tian asked.

"Do you know where the security office is?"

"Uh... I don't!"

"Does anyone know where the security office is?"

The middle-aged police officer asked the surrounding students in a loud voice.

"Officer, I know."

A female student raised her hand in response.

"Alright, then could I trouble you to take us there?"

"Of course!"

"That's great!"

The middle-aged police officer smiled, looked at Qin Tian, and said: "You all should disperse first, go do what you need to do. If there are results from the investigation, I will contact you again."

"Alright, then sorry to trouble you."

"It's my duty, no trouble at all. Student, let's go!"

Saying this, the middle-aged police officer walked toward that female student.

"Thank you!"

Seeing that the female student was looking at her, Xia Nuannuan said a grateful thank you.

The female student smiled gently and left with the two police officers.

"Everyone disperse as well!"

Qin Tian said to the surrounding students.

Everyone was still curious about who the culprit was, but knowing there was no more excitement to watch here, they left one after another.

"A male student... who could it be?"

Cheng Meng pinched her chin with her fingers, frowning in thought.

"I even thought it was Lv Yanran; I wronged her this time."

Shen Siqi shrugged her shoulders with a helpless expression.

"Ah!"

Chen Zhuang suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone was startled and cast suspicious gazes toward him.

"Brother Tian, didn't I mention before that there's a guy in his freshman year with a pretty bizarre name who has been targeting you, saying you only know how to show off? What was his name again? I suddenly can't remember."

Chen Zhuang's brows were tightly locked.
