501. Chapter 501: Did you hear that clearly?

Upon hearing that.

Yin Li said with an apologetic face: "Qiao Sheng, I'm really sorry for causing you worry."

She had not yet answered Qiao Sheng.

An Er then related what she had said before.

Fell into the well…

Qiao Sheng tugged at the corner of her mouth and said: "Ah Li, don't drink so much alcohol from now on. This time you happened to encounter a dry well; if there had been water, you'd be in trouble."

Yin Li gave a cute smile and said: "Mm-hmm, I got it."

In the afternoon.

An Liu and An Shi went to the Imperial Academy to pick up Xiao Shitou and the others, but after waiting a long time they still didn't see them come out. Finding it strange, they immediately asked the gatekeeper to help inquire.

There were four gatekeepers in total.

They were all willing to help.

They discussed it and decided to let Zhang Jisheng go ask.

Less than half an hour.

Zhang Jisheng came running out of the school, panting as he said: "Shi Jin and the others have been detained by the Professor; the Professor is now preparing to send someone to summon their parents."

What's going on?

An Liu immediately asked Zhang Jisheng: "What happened?"

Zhang Jisheng related what Shi Jin and the others had done.

"Shi Jin and the others hit someone…"

Zhang Jisheng didn't know the exact details; he hadn't seen Shi Jin and the others, only heard others say.

An Liu and the others had originally wanted to summon Shi Lin, but since he was busy today, they instead followed Qiao Sheng to the Imperial Academy.

When they arrived.

The families of the other beaten children had already arrived.

A woman, upon seeing Qiao Sheng, shouted: "Qiao Sheng, look, look—what have your sons done to my son?"

She recognized Qiao Sheng.

Qiao Sheng, however, did not recognize her.

She didn't ask the woman or the Professor standing aside; she directly asked Xiao Shitou, Shi Jin, Shi Ren, and Shi Yun: "Xiao Shitou, Shi Jin, Shi Ren, Shi Yun, tell me what happened."

The woman grew annoyed.

"Do you not understand what I'm saying, or what?"

Seeing her glare at me in anger and frustration.

Qiao Sheng calmly said: "My sons aren't the type to hit people randomly; if they really hit your son, there must be a reason."

"You…"

The woman hadn't spoken yet.

Shi Yun shouted: "Aunt Qiao, here's what happened: Wang Yuanhang and his group insulted you, calling you a pig and saying you give birth like a pig. When Shi Jin heard that, he argued with them; Xiao Shitou stepped in to stop them from hitting Shi Jin, and they ended up fighting. Since our martial arts are better than theirs, they got hurt worse than we did…

"That's just how Third Aunt is."

Shi Jin said from the side.

Xiao Shitou also spoke up.

"Mom, sorry for causing you trouble, but I don't regret beating Wang Yuanhang and his gang. Their mouths are foul, their speech is grating—they deserved to be beaten."

Qiao Sheng, expressionless, said to the woman earlier: "Did you hear that clearly?"

She probably still didn't understand.

The woman, neck stiff, said: "So you're saying that's just how it is?"

"That's not the case."

Wang Yuanhang echoed his mother's words.

Several other kids who didn't get along with Xiao Shitou and his group also chimed in: "Right, this isn't how they said it happened."

"It's exactly as we said."

Shi Ren took out a piece of paper from his bosom and handed it to the Professor.

After reading what was written on it, the Professor held it up and asked Shi Ren: "Who wrote this?"

"Him."

Shi Ren pointed his finger at Wang Yuanhang.

Wang Yuanhang replied angrily: "Shi Ren, what nonsense are you spouting? I didn't write anything like that."(End of chapter)
