Ch. 461..470
Chapter 461: 461 Revenge
The principal was silent for a moment before saying, “Fine making up for it later won’t make up for the damage. In the end, this matter was caused by Song Lin. How do you plan on settling this?”
Song Lin felt that he had already been splashed with dirty water by them and even fed a stomach full of water. He had already been punished and this matter should be over.
“Principal, you see, I’m also covered in dirty water. 1 was also tied up in the toilet by them, so this matter should be over.” Song Lin said, “At worst, I’ll write another apology letter to Li Li.”
Considering that both parties had fought and Song Lin’s injuries were obviously more serious, the principal decided to do as Song Lin said. However, the apology letter was too light and he had to be punished.
Tan Rou looked at the principal’s expression and knew that he intended to deal with this matter leniently. They were not the victims, so why should they stand up for the victims? Moreover, Song Lin was a despicable person. If he could write an apology letter today, he could write two tomorrow. Could he use an apology letter to solve the problem whenever he did something bad?
“Principal, I’m not done yet.” Obviously, Li Li also didn’t want things to end it like this. She would rather skip a meal than allow this to just pass through in such a lenient manner.
The principal gestured for her to continue. Perhaps there were still things that he did not know.
“Principal, do you know? Not only did Song Lin harass Tan Rou every day, but he also said that he wanted Tan Rou to be his girlfriend. We are still students and shouldn’t fall in love at such a young age. However, Song Lin acted as if he didn’t hear him and said it several times a day.” Li Li said.
Although Song Lin said that he wanted to please Tan Rou, he never said that he wanted Tan Rou to be his girlfriend. He wanted Tan Rou to be his wife.
“I didn’t ask Tan Rou to be my girlfriend. I’m giving her things out of kindness,” Song Lin argued. “Do I have to punished by just being nice?”
The principal was too embarrassed to expose his thoughts. A boy kept giving gifts to a girl and even harassed her. No matter how he thought about it, this boy did not have any pure intentions!
“Xu Yan, tell me, is there such a thing?” The principal trusted Xu Yan because he was the class monitor and had always been upright.
Xu Yan said, “Li Li is telling the truth. Song Lin has always been trying to please Tan Jing. However, ever since Tan Rou regained her identity as the eldest daughter of the Tao family, Song Lin has started to send things to Tan Rou every day. Once class ends, Song Lin will go to Tan Ron’s side to make his presence known.”
“That’s right!” Li Li continued.
“I’ve been trying to discuss the physics question with Tan Rou but Song Lin, who didn’t make it to the finals, would disturb us every day. Principal, what if Song Lin’s interruption affects our performance in the physics competition?”
When the principal heard that it would affect the physics competition, he immediately took it seriously. At first, he only thought that the students did not like each other, but now he felt that there was a conspiracy behind it.
As the principal, he knew everything about the physics competition. After the preliminaries, he investigated every student’s learning situation. It was indeed beyond his expectations that this little girl named Li Li could pass the preliminaries. Li Li’s original results were not considered excellent, but her performance these few times was very good.
On the other hand, Song Lin, who used to have good grades, had his grades plummet ever since he came back from studying abroad as an exchange student. Not only did he not think about how to improve himself, but he also started harassing girls. This was really outrageous.
“Song Lin, you can’t affect other people’s studies just because you didn’t enter the physics competition.” The principal said with a serious expression, “There’s one more thing. You have to learn from Li Li. She has made great progress recently. You have to see her progress and take her as an example.”
Song Lin said, “1 also wanted to ask Tan Rou to tutor me, but you said that that would be considered harassing girls.”
“Rourou has already rejected you,” Li Li said loudly.
“Why are you still shamelessly showing up in front of her? Isn’t your behavior considered as harassment?!”
“There are many students in the class who have better grades than you. You can ask them. Lu Qing’s grades were excellent, but you never asked him for help. Instead, you only compared yourself to him to see who was more handsome..”
Chapter 462: 462 Punishment
Tan Ron really admired Xu Yan. He could still say such words at this time, which meant that he was not someone who did not listen to gossip.
The more the principal listened, the angrier he got.” Song Lin, do you want to stay in this school or not?”
Song Lin’s expression changed.” Principal,” he hurriedly said,” I just think that the first place has good results and can teach me more. That’s why 1 kept looking for Tan Rou.””
“Haven’t you heard of the distinction between men and women?” The principal didn’t want to listen to his nonsense anymore.” You have to stay away from these two female students in the future. When you go back, ask your form teacher to change your seats. You have to be at least five meters away.”
Song Lin gritted his teeth angrily.” 1 understand, Principal.”
The principal continued,”Song Lin, you have to apologize to Student Li Li and Student Tan Rou for what happened today. You have to write a demerit and write a 3,-word letter…” No, it’s a 5,-word letter of self-reflection. I’ll give a speech under the national flag next Monday in front of the entire school. Do you hear me?”
“They hit me too. Are we just going to let it go?” Song Lin asked.”
“She’s the victim!” The principal was furious.” If you didn’t harass her first, would she be disgusted by you? If you didn’t find someone to lock Li Li in the toilet today, would the things that happened later have happened? It’s already considered light for them to hit you. If they call the police, you’re finished!”
Song Lin didn’t dare to say anything else. As for his suffering, he could only let it go. If the principal continued to pursue the matter of those hooligans outside the school or invited his grandfather over, then this matter would not be resolved.
“I will write a self-reflection.” Song Lin looked at Li Li fiercely.
The principal was very satisfied with his current attitude.” Alright, it’s time for school to end now. Hurry up and go home for dinner.”
Tan Rou pulled Li Li away. The other two boys followed behind them to escort them. But Song Lin dilly-dallied and refused to leave.
It was time for the principal to go back for dinner, but he couldn’t leave without Song Lin.
Song Lin, aren’t you going back?” the principal asked.
“Principal, that wretched girl Li Li…” Song Lin frowned and whispered.
“What did you say?” The principal was a little angry.” What did I tell you just now?”
Song Lin gritted his teeth and said,”I mean Student Li Li.” Student Li Li has also poured a lot of dirty water into me. Are we going to let this matter go?”
As soon as he opened his mouth, an even stronger stench wafted over. The principal quietly moved a little further away.
“Why didn’t you mention this when they were here just now?”The principal said,” Song Lin, I used to like you very much. You’re hardworking and willing to endure hardships. Your grandfather also has high expectations for you. Your grandfather called me several times to ask me to take care of you. I also want to take good care of you, but your recent performance has really disappointed me.”
Song Lin didn’t expect his grandfather to greet the principal. Did this mean that his grandfather was very inclined to pass the position of the Song family’s head to him?
“I know I was wrong.” Song Lin reluctantly admitted his mistake. Ever since he was young, he was best at pretending to admit his mistake. After all, his identity was there. If he did not admit his mistake, he might die in that family.
“Yes.” The principal nodded slightly.” Go back and study hard. Don’t think too much, especially not to harass Tan Rou. She’s the student with the most potential in our school. She might even win the gold medal in the national physics competition this time. I hope that you can stay away from her before her competition.””
Song Lin was very unwilling. He was bullied like this. How could he swallow this? But he couldn’t tell the truth to the principal.” Alright, principal. I’ll stay away from Tan Rou.”
After Song Lin left, the principal couldn’t help but shake his head. Although Song Lin’s personality wasn’t very good in the past, he was still very good overall. However, ever since he came back from abroad and got involved with Tan Jing, his entire person had changed. Not only did he keep making mistakes, but he even made a fool out of himself.
The principal patted his forehead lightly. Tan Jing was really a bad person. Not only did she often frame Tan Rou, the best student in their school, but she also led so many students astray. She was simply sinful. Fortunately, she had dropped out of school. Otherwise, who knew how much trouble she would have caused?
However, the principal was also curious about where Tan Jing had gone. He had heard a lot of bad news about her recently, but there seemed to be no news about her in the past few days..
Chapter 463: 463 Whose Car Should I Take
Tan Ron only remembered to take out her phone after she left the principal’s office. She had been too anxious just now, so she put her phone in her pocket. Because their phones couldn’t make any sound when they were in school, they were all on silent mode. At this moment, Tan Rou took out her phone and realized that the cover was full of missed calls and voice messages.
Tan Rou took a cursory glance. It was from Zhuang Liu, her eider brother, and second brother. They probably wanted to ask where she was. They were going back soon. Tan Rou didn’t plan to reply to their messages and planned to talk about it outside.
Unexpectedly, Zhuang Liu and Tao Zhi had already found their teaching building. One of them was upstairs while the other was downstairs, looking for Tan Rou everywhere.
When Zhuang Liu saw Tan Rou, he didn’t have time to pretend to be crippled. He immediately jogged over, and Xiao Mo pushed his wheelchair behind him.
“Xiao Rou, are you alright?” Zhuang Liu was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He got off work early today and wanted to pick up Tan Rou before Tao Zhi, but Tan Rou didn’t come out.
“Xiao Rou!” When Tao Zhi saw Tan Rou, he finally felt relieved. She only sent him a message to ask him to wait a few more minutes. She had to wait for a classmate who needed to go to the toilet, but what kind of classmate could squat in the toilet for more than half an hour?
Tao Zhi and Zhuang Liu, who couldn’t wait for Tan Rou, came to the teaching building to look for her. They searched up and down three times but couldn’t find her. He was so flustered that he went weak. If his sister went missing, how could he face his parents?
Tan Rou raised her head and waved at Tao Zhi. “Big Brother, slow down. I’m fine.”
Tao Zhi took three steps at a time and quickly went downstairs. He rushed over to check on Tan Ron’s condition. “Rourou, are you okay?”
Tan Rou shook her head slightly. “Big Brother, I’m fine. Don’t be nervous. It’s my bad, I forgot to reply to your message.”
“Rourou, what happened? Why didn’t you reply to my messages or answer my calls?” Tao Zhi asked.
Li Li stood up and said, “Big Brother Tao, it’s my fault. I offended that idiot Song Lin. That idiot found a few female hooligans outside and locked me in the toilet. It was Xiao Rou who saved me.”
Tao Zhi was furious when he heard that. “Which rascal is Song Lin?”
“An illegitimate child of the Song family. He’s been harassing Rourou,” Zhuang Liu said in an unfriendly tone. “He probably saw that Li Li had a good relationship with Rourou, so he attacked her.”
“How dare he bully our friend Xiao Ron’s friend. I will never let him off.” Tao Zhi was rarely this angry.
“No need, Big Brother Tao.” Li Li smiled and said, “We’ve already taught him a lesson and fed him a lot of dirty water. He’s too proud to tell others that we fed him that.”
Xiao Mo, who was pushing the wheelchair behind them, couldn’t help but laugh. These kids were quite ruthless.
Hearing that they had already taught Song Lin a lesson, Tao Zhi didn’t say anything else. “In that case, let’s go back home first.”
When they reached the entrance, there were three cars waiting for them. One was from the Lu family, and the other two were from Tao Zhi and Zhuang Liu.
Needless to say, the Lu family’s car was definitely here to pick up their Little Young Master Lu.
But what about Tao Zhi and Zhuang Liu? They were definitely here to pick up Tan Rou, but there was only one Tan Rou while there were two of them.
Tan Rou looked at this scene and felt as if she had returned to the scene of Tao Zheng and Zhuang Liu fighting over who would send her to school that afternoon.
“Big brother, help me send Li Li back.” Tan Rou said.
Tao Zhi was very unwilling. “Xiao Rou, I’ll take you back. Zhuang Liu will send your classmate back.”
Tan Rou looked at Zhuang Liu’s limited-edition luxury car and then at the dirty water on Li Li’s body. She still could not bear to let Zhuang Liu drive her away. “Brother, please help me send Li Li home. I’m begging you.”
Since his sister had already said so, how could Tao Zhi reject her? So he patted his chest and promised, “Fine. 1 will definitely send your classmate home.”
As for Xu Yan, he followed the Lu family’s car. Actually, there was a bus at noon, but if he took the bus now, he probably wouldn’t even need to eat when he reached home.
Zhuang Liu snatched the opportunity to send Tan Rou home from Tao Zhi. He was in a very good mood. Rourou, don’t be angry. I will handle Song Lin’s matter.”
Tan Rou didn’t deny what she did to Song Lin today. It wasn’t something that could be solved by just writing a self-reflection and an apology. “Okay, I’ll leave it to Third Brother..”
Chapter 464: 464 Tan Jing’s Missing
Zhuang Liu instructed Xiao Mo, “Find something for Song Lin to do. It’s best if he’s so busy that he doesn’t have time to come to the school to cause trouble.”
“Alright, Third Master. i’ll find Song Lin something to do when I get back.”
“I heard that Tan Song came to school to look for you again a few days ago?” The reason why Zhuang Liu wanted to pick Tan Rou up early today was because he wanted to go back with Tan Rou. He has heard that Tan Song had come to disturb Tan Rou.
Recently, he had been working with the Lu family to deal with the Song family and had neglected the matters at school. As a result, he only found out this morning that Tan Song had come to school to look for Tan Rou.
“He’s here to ask me for money.” Tan Rou pinched her eyebrows and said irritably, “He claimed to be my father and asked me for 5 million.”
“Isn’t he being too shameless?” Xiao Mo couldn’t stand it anymore. “How can he have the nerve to ask Miss Tan Rou for money?”
“That’s how shameless people are. What did you expect from someone who would send his daughter onto another man’s bed?” Tan Rou said disdainfully.
Xiao Mo nodded slightly. Then, he mentioned something else. “I have some news to report regarding Tan Jing.”
“If you have something to say, just say it. Do you think you’re an elementary school student who raises his hand to answer questions?”
“Tan Jing is missing,” Xiao Mo replied with a silly smile. “Tan Song is also looking for her.”
“Missing?” Tan Rou thought for a moment. These few days, Wei Ling really hadn’t spread any news about Tan Jing. She probably didn’t know about Tan Jing either.
“If you ask me, Tan Jing must have run away because she couldn’t stand Tan Song giving her to those old men. Tan Song is too vicious,” Xiao Mo said angrily. “He actually treated his own daughter like that.”
“Find Tan Jing.” Tan Rou said, “Tan Song treated Tan Jing so well. Based on Tan Jing’s personality, she definitely won’t let Tan Song off. If necessary, we can give Tan Jing some support and let her deal with Tan Song. Get the two of them to fight each other. It’s better for us to deal with one enemy than two.”
“Yes.” Zhuang Liu instructed Xiao Mo, “Find out where Tan Jing went. She might be able to help us.”
After returning home, Tan Rou was surrounded by her mother again. When she smelled Tan Rou’s pleasant scent, she said with heartache, “When your brother told me about it, 1 was almost scared to death.” Tears welled up in her eyes.
“Why is it so dangerous to go to school?”
Tan Rou was splashed with a little dirty water. The smell was a little unpleasant. She took off her school jacket and said, “Mom, I’m fine. I’ll go take a shower first.”
“Go and wash up, Mom has prepared everything for you.””
After Tan Rou entered the bedroom, Mrs. Tao’s expression changed immediately. She called Mr. Tao and said, “Hubby, it’s time to teach the Song family a lesson.””
When Tan Rou came back, she became that gentle, warm girl again.
Tan Rou looked at the table full of good food and her family members who kept putting food into her bowl. She felt very happy. Her family members were too good to her.
Two days later, a long-abandoned unfinished building in the city welcomed new investors. They had their eyes on this piece of land and were preparing to build a large shopping mall.
The boss who came to inspect the place was wearing a safety helmet and stepping on the rubble. The agent next to him tried his best to please the big boss. It had been several years since he had waited for this new investor. He could not let the big boss run away.
“Although the geographical location of this area is not very advantageous, it is expensive because of its large area and cheap price.” The big boss smiled and said, “Which real estate company wouldn’t cost a few million these days?”
The agent smiled like a flower. “Yes, yes, yes, you’re right.” As long as this deal was successful, he would be able to get tens of thousands of commissions.
The big boss was very satisfied with this place. He pointed inside and said, “Let’s take a look inside. If it’s possible, we can go back and sign the contract.”
As they walked further in, they suddenly smelled something bad, as if something had gone bad.
“Die… Someone died!” Suddenly, an assistant who was inspecting the front ran over in a panic. He said to the big boss in horror, “A person died inside. She was penetrated by a steel bar and his entire body was smashed into pieces.”
The big boss frowned. “Is she really dead?”
It’s still unlucky to meet a dead person in a land to be developed
The assistant kept nodding. “It’s really a dead person. 1 went over to take a look. It’s a woman..”
Chapter 465: 465 Tan Jing Was Discovered
“Have you heard? Tan Jing is dead.” Early in the morning, the students in school were discussing the matter of the dead. They did not feel that it was scary.
“I heard that he died in an unfinished building.” A classmate said, “My aunt would pass by that place when she went to work. She said that the area had been cordoned off. Other than the police, no one could get close. Because of this, my aunt took a detour to work in the morning and was almost late.”
“I heard that a big boss wanted to invest in that unfinished building. In the end, Tan Jing’s body was found in the ruins. Coincidentally, there was a vertical steel bar under her, and then she was skewered.”
“Her brain matter flowed onto the ground and mixed with the blood. It was very disgusting.”
A timid girl screamed and ran away. “Stop talking. It’s so scary!”
Tan Rou stopped listening after hearing a few sentences. Tan Jing had done many evil things. When she was alive, she wanted to stand out and become famous, but it did not come true. She would have never expected that she would again become the center of attention after her death.
When Tan Rou returned to class, she realized that the expressions of her classmates were very strange. Usually, when they came, they would share the recent gossip about Tan Jing and often laugh and say that she was really shameless. But now, all the students remained silent.
Although Tan Jing wasn’t a good person, she was still a classmate who had been with them for two years. When a living person suddenly died, the students couldn’t describe their feelings. They weren’t happy at all. Instead, they were a little sad.
“Xiao Rou, Tan Jing is actually dead.” The expression on Li Li’s face was also not very good. Although she hated Tan Jing and hoped that Tan Jing would be unlucky soon, she did not want Tan Jing to die. She felt that Tan Jing should have lived to repay her debts.
Tan Rou knew that Li Li was a kind-hearted girl and was also very emotional. They all said that the dead were the most important. No matter what Tan Jing had done in the past, now that she was dead, there was nothing to say. Moreover, Li Li had no grudge against Tan Jing. If Li Li celebrated Tan Jing’s death, she probably wouldn’t do it.
“Don’t think about it.” Tan Rou patted Li Li’s shoulder. “The police will find out the truth.”
“Yeah, I wasn’t the one who killed her anyway.” Li Li nodded.
Song Lin came in with a lunchbox. The principal didn’t allow him to go near Tan Rou, so he decided to wait until Tan Rou went to the toilet before putting the lunchbox on her table.
He Ling and Zhao Ru came over as soon as they entered. He Ling cried, “Song Lin, did you know? Jingjing is dead!”
When Song Lin heard this, the lunch box in his hand fell to the ground with a thud. He hurriedly squatted down to clean up the lunch box as he said, “What nonsense are you talking about? Tan Jing was definitely alive and well. She definitely wouldn’t die.”
Zhao Ru said, “The police found Jing Jing’s body in the unfinished building. At first, they said that she committed suicide by jumping off the building. But after investigation, they found many messy footprints on the balcony on the sixth floor where Jing Jing jumped off. They were all new footprints.”
“According to the police’s investigation, one set of footprints belonged to Jing Jing, but they had yet to find the other set of footprints.”
Song Lin looked very nervous. “So what if she’s dead? Do you want me to pay with my life?”
When he said this, Song Lin was frightened. He was afraid that others would find out that he had killed Tan Jing. If he had known earlier, he would have cleaned up his footprints before he left.
Tan Rou had been observing Song Lin’s expression. She realized that ever since he heard that Tan Jing was dead, his expression had become ugly.
She didn’t think that it was because Song Lin loved Tan Jing so much that he was so devastated after learning of Tan Jing’s death that he went crazy.
“Hurry up and go back for morning self-study! If Tan Jing is dead, then so be it. It has nothing to do with me.” Song Lin chased them away.
Zhao Ru was not satisfied with his attitude. “Song Lin, how can you be so heartless? Weren’t you head over heels for her? Why aren’t you sad at all now that she’s dead?”
Song Lin did not answer him. He walked to the door in a panic and threw the food he picked up into the trash can.
Tan Rou felt that Song Lin was very, very suspicious. Coincidentally, Zhuang Liu had been digging up information about Song Lin these past few days, so she sent the information she got to Zhuang Liu. “Song Lin’s expression was a little strange after hearing that Tan Jing was dead. Check and see if he knows anything..”
Chapter 466: 466 I Killed Someone
“Song Lin, how can you be so cold? Are you only interested in Jingjing’s status as the eldest daughter of the Tan family?” Zhao Ru said angrily.
“Now that her family is bankrupt, do you have no feelings for her at all?”
Song Lin had once really liked Tan Jing, but only a little. If he had found out that Tan Rou was better, he would definitely have chosen her.
“No feelings. We’re still high school students,” Song Lin said coldly. “We should spend more time studying and not think about puppy love.”
Zhao Ru saw the sweat on Song Lin’s forehead and wondered why Song Lin was sweating so much in such cold weather.
“Song Lin, are you afraid that Jingjing will come back to find you after she dies?” Zhao Ru probed, “After all, Jing Jing had a good relationship with you when she was alive. You even challenged Tan Rou for her.”
She didn’t know which sentence had poked Song Lin’s nerves. He stood up with a whoosh and shouted, “I said that I have nothing to do with her. Don’t say it anymore!”
“Why are you shouting so loudly?” Zhao Ru shouted at Song Lin.
“Those who didn’t know better would think that you killed Jing Jing.”
Song Lin suddenly recalled Tan Jing’s tragic death. She fell from upstairs and landed directly on the big stone slab. The steel bars erected on the big stone slab passed through her chest, and blood splattered everywhere. The white matter of her brain was mixed together with the blood that splattered everywhere. It was as disgusting as it could be. His face was pale, and his stomach was churning. He was so disgusted that he wanted to throw up his breakfast.
Song Lin pushed Zhao Ru away and ran out while covering his mouth.
Zhao Ru felt that Song Lin was being ridiculous. Was Tan Jing’s death that disgusting? Or perhaps he was too sad and ran out to cry?
However, this had nothing to do with Zhao Ru. Zhao Ru was just saying it casually.
He Ling was still sad. She originally wanted to go to Tan Jing’s house to see Tan Jing, but she was also worried that Tan Song would kidnap her and sell her. Her family background was average. If something happened, no one would help her seek justice.
Tan Rou’s gaze followed Song Lin. When she saw him run out, she quickly followed him. To her surprise, Song Lin did not go to the bathroom but went straight downstairs. She didn’t follow him and just stayed upstairs to see if Song Lin had gone out.
Soon, Song Lin’s figure appeared in the square of the teaching building. He was very fast, as if something was chasing him from behind.
“Xiao Rou, what are you looking at?” Li Li followed him out. When she saw Song Lin downstairs, she was a little surprised. “What’s Song Lin doing running so fast?” Did he forget to bring something?”
Tan Rou sneered. “He might not have forgotten to bring something, but he must be guilty.”
“Guilty? You mean Tan Jing’s death is related to Song Lin?” Li Li suddenly thought of Tan Jing, who had just died.
“Yes.” Tan Rou nodded. “Song Lin’s reaction is strange. It’s worth investigating. Maybe we can find the murderer.”
It was class time now, and the Song family did not have a car to pick Song Lin up, so Song Lin took a taxi back. The driver saw the nervous Song Lin and asked with a smile, “Young man, it’s such a cold day. Why are you sweating so much?”
Song Lin’s face was pale. “Why are you asking so many questions? Drive your car!”
The driver’s expression immediately turned ugly when he heard this. He muttered softly, “Why are you so angry at such a young age?””
When he returned to the Song family’s house, the housekeeper was still tidying up the living room. When she saw him return, she immediately smiled and greeted him. “Young Master Lin, why are you back? Did you leave something at home?”
“Where’s Grandpa?” Song Lin asked.
The nanny replied, “The old master is in the study.””
Song Lin rushed into the study in a hurry, forgetting to knock on the door.
Old Master Song was admiring his new ancient painting. Although it was expensive, he was still very happy to get this painting.
“Grandpa!” Song Lin gasped.
Old Master Song was very dissatisfied with his sudden intrusion. “What did 1 teach you?”
Song Lin could not care less about etiquette. He ran to Old Master Song and said in fear, “Grandpa, I’ve killed someone!”
Old Master Song didn’t react in time. “What did you say?”
“I killed someone!” Song Lin’s voice was hoarse.. “I killed Tan Jing!”
Chapter 467: 467 Scapegoat
Old Master Song only felt his vision darken. Even he did not dare to do something like murder. Once someone related to the Song family was involved in illegal activities, he would definitely drag the entire Song family down.
Although Old Master Song was also very angry about this matter, for the future of the Song family, he had to help Song Lin resolve this matter.
“You have to tell me the details of what happened.” Old Master Song was calmer than Song Lin. After all, he had been in the business world for decades. He had enough experience to deal with this.
Song Lin told her everything about the day Tan Jing asked him out, the argument he had with Tan Jing, and the incident where he accidentally killed Tan Jing.
After he finished speaking, Old Master Song said, “Go back to school first. Don’t expose anything. Leave this matter to me.”
“There are my footprints there,” Song Lin said worriedly. “Also, there’s a high possibility that my fingerprints will be left on Tan Jing’s body. I’m afraid that the police will trace it back to me.”
“You just have to go back to school and study hard! If you reveal any flaws, I’ll have no choice but to hand you over to the police. I won’t help you whether you’re sentenced to life imprisonment or death. Go back to where you came from!”
If it was possible, Old Master Song did not want Song Lin to go to jail. If it was in the past, he would just hand Song Lin over and make his identity as an illegitimate child unclear. After all, he had so many grandchildren, so he did not need Song Lin.
However, someone had been targeting the Song family recently, causing their business to drop by 4%. At this juncture, the Song family could not afford to have any more negative news. Therefore, he had to protect Song Lin.
After receiving Old Master Song’s promise, Song Lin calmed down a lot. “Thank you, Grandpa. As long as this matter can pass, 1 will definitely be obedient.”
Old Master Song glared at him. “Don’t think that you’re my only grandson. Even if your brothers are good-for-nothing, they’re much better than you! If you continue to be like this, if you continue to be like this, then get lost!”
Song Lin panicked when he heard Old Master Song asking him to get lost. He could tolerate anything else, but he could not accept being chased out of the Song family.
“Grandpa, I will perform well.” Song Lin promised.
On the way back to school, Song Lin kept brainwashing himself. He told himself that Tan Jing was a bad woman. Not only did she seduce him, but she also wanted to seduce other men. In the end, she died pregnant with someone else’s bastard child. It must be because the heavens were watching that this slut of Tan Jing’s was taken away.
Thinking of this, Song Lin’s expression changed. He smiled, then tidied up his school uniform and returned to class confidently.
When Tan Rou saw Song Lin’s expression, she knew that the matter that troubled Song Lin had been resolved.
Old Master Song moved very quickly. Song Lin had just confessed to him in the morning, and he had already found a scapegoat in the afternoon.
As Tan Rou walked on the road, she heard the students beside her discussing the police announcement at noon.
“What is it? Tan Jing was actually killed by a hooligan?” A boy didn’t quite believe it. “Is it that hasty?”
A girl said, “1 heard that the hooligan doesn’t have a job. He usually sleeps in the unfinished building and steals things for a living. After Tan Jing escaped from the Tan family, she also moved into the unfinished building. The hooligans saw her and wanted to force Tan Jing. Tan Jing was unwilling. As the two of them pulled, she fell down from upstairs.”
Tan Rou smiled coldly. What hooligan? He was probably taking the blame for Song Lin.
“How do you know so much?” The other girl asked me, “I saw the police report, there wasn’t so much information.”
The girl said, “i heard it from someone else.”
Tan Rou came to class and deliberately glanced at Song Lin. Song Lin came early today and was not as flustered as he was in the morning. Song Lin had returned to his previous state in the afternoon.
She really could not understand what Old Master Song saw in Song Lin. Could such a stupid person really be the heir of the Song family? Then, she thought of Old Master Song, who had spent 5 million to buy the ‘Spiritual River Landscape Painting’. As expected, the apple doesn’t fall far from its tree. Old Master Song himself was not smart enough, so it was no wonder that his descendants were stupid too..
Chapter 468: 468 Looking for Tan Ron
After Tan Song failed the last time at Tan Ron’s school, he continued to look for Tan Jing. In the end, Tan Jing did not come back looking for him. Instead, he heard the news of her death and it was when the police told him to get Tan Jing’s body. At the scene, he still had to pay for the mortuary and cremation fees. As soon as Tan Song heard that he had to pay, he sneaked away.
After that, no matter how much the police called, he refused to go back. In the end, he even denied that Tan Jing was his daughter.
The police had no choice but to contact Chen Yi. When Tan Jing was alive, Chen Yi chased her out of the house. After she died, she acted like a loving mother in the police station. She cried so hard that her eyes were completely swollen
Later, the police took into account that her daughter had just passed away and her family had gone bankrupt, so they exempted Tan Jing’s cremation fee. They directly contacted the crematorium to cremate Tan Jing.
Chen Yi took back Tan Jing’s urn with gratitude and found a wild place to bury Tan Jing. She didn’t even buy a cemetery. She would not give a single cent to a dead person, even if that person was her daughter.
After Tan Song knew that Chen Yi had picked her up, he tacitly agreed that
Chen Yi had paid the money, so he went to Chen Yi’s new house to ask for more money from her.
Chen Yi refused to open the door for him, so he hid in front of Chen Yi’s house. When Chen Yi opened the door to head out, he rushed out and pushed Chen Yi back into the room.
As soon as he came up, he slapped Chen Yi, causing her to fall to the ground. She did not recover for a long time.
“Are you crazy?” Chen Yi covered her red and swollen left cheek in disbelief. “We’re already divorced, yet you still dare to hit me. Aren’t you afraid that 1’11 call the police?”
“It’s only natural for a man to hit a woman!” Tan Song was originally a successful person with a bit of elegance. However, ever since the Tan family started to get into trouble, he became more and more irritable. In the end, he had already reached the point of madness. He had vented his anger on Tan Jing at home, and now he wanted to vent his anger on Chen Yi.
“I’ll fight it out with you!” Chen Yi couldn’t let him hit her for no reason. “You killed my daughter, I’ll kill you!”
Tan Song kicked her to the ground. There was a huge difference in strength between a man and a woman. Chen Yi did not have the strength to fight back at all, nor did she have the chance to fight back.
“Just kill me then!!!” Chen Yi sat on the ground and cried. Her carefully styled hair was all loose. At this moment, she looked like a crazy woman. “I can go down and accompany Jingjing.””
“I won’t kill you.” Tan Song patted her face. “As long as you give me the money you got from the divorce.”
When they divorced, Chen Yi had taken a large sum of money from him. Now that he was in trouble, Chen Yi had to cough up the money. All these years, Chen Yi had never gone out to work, so why should she take so much of his money?
“If you want money, I don’t have it. I only have my sh*t life left!” Chen Yi had spent more than half of her money. The remaining money was not enough for her to spend. How could she have money for Tan Song?
If she gave him the money, she would not be able to live. If she did not give the money, she would be beaten to death by Tan Song. It was better to die with the money. If she did not have a good life, Tan Song would not have a good life either.
“Motherfucker, you are courting death!” Tan Song was furious. He punched and kicked Chen Yi.
Chen Yi rolled on the ground, but she did not say that she would give the money to Tan Song.
“Still not paying? Then go to hell!” Tan Song raised his foot and prepared to step on Chen Yi’s head.
At the critical moment, Chen Yi shouted, “I really don’t have any money left. If you want money, go ask rich people for it. Instead of beating me up here, why don’t you save your strength and beat Tan Rou up? Maybe she’ll give you money if she’s scared of you!”
Her words reminded Tan Song that even if he beat Chen Yi to death, he would only get a little bit of money. He might as well think of a way to get some money from Tan Rou.
Tan Song snatched a few thousand from Chen Yi and then used the money to hire two thugs to ambush around the school, waiting for Tan Rou to be alone.
Under normal circumstances, Tan Rou would have someone to pick her up, but today, Tao Zhi and Zhuang Liu were both held up by company matters. Tao Zheng went out to settle some things, so Tan Rou did not go home in time after school. Instead, she went to a place near the school where it was easy to get a taxi home.
Seeing that Tan Rou was alone, Tan Song jumped out. He had an evil smile on his face. “Rourou, it’s been a long time!”
“Didn’t we meet a few days ago? Did Mr. Tan’s memory deteriorate after he went bankrupt?”
Tan Song hated it when people talked about his bankruptcy. “Don’t be so smug. You’ll be crying soon.”
Tan Rou crossed her arms and asked indifferently, “What tricks are you trying to play again?”
Chapter 469: 469 Follow Me
Tan Song rubbed his hands and smiled wretchedly. “You seem to be rich now, right? I’m a little short on money recently, so 1 want to borrow some money from you but since you have so much money now, you wouldn’t be asking me to return them to you right?”
Tan Rou was really speechless at him. Probably only Tan Song could make robbery sound so fresh and refined.
“I don’t have money to give you. If there’s nothing else, I’m going home.” Tan Rou said.
“Wait!” Tan Song stopped her. “Did I say that you can leave? If you don’t want to be beaten, then come with us obediently. You’re so beautiful. You wouldn’t want your face to be ruined.”
“Oh, do you want to treat me like how you treated Tan Jing? You haven’t forgotten that I’m not your daughter, have you?” Tan Rou asked.
“It doesn’t matter.” Tan Song smiled evilly.
Tan Ron’s face sank and she said coldly, “You don’t think that you can take me away and get the money, do you??”
Tan Song was very confident because the two people he found were classic people who cared more about money than their own lives. Moreover, they were experienced and strong. As long as they made a move, Tan Rou would be powerless to resist.
Tan Song wasn’t worried about getting the money at all because the Tao family valued Tan Rou very much. As long as he kidnapped Tan Rou, the Tao family would definitely give him as much money as they wanted.
“Your parents value you so much. They will definitely be willing to pay a lot of money to redeem you.” Tan Song said with a smile. He seemed to have seen the money flying towards him.
Tan Rou nodded lightly and agreed, “My parents do value me.”
She had seen how much her parents loved her and remembered it in her heart. Therefore, she would definitely repay her parents well and not let them worry about anything.
So…
Tan Rou smiled and waved her hand. “Tan Song, are you guys coming over one by one or altogether?”
Tan Song knew the consequences of kidnapping Tan Rou, but if he couldn’t get the money, he would definitely be forced to death by those people.
Thinking of this, Tan Song mustered up his courage and said, “Capture her for me. I want her alive.”
One of them was holding a watermelon knife, while the other was holding a rope. They were ready to kidnap Tan Rou.
Tan Rou stretched her wrists and put down her phone. She placed the school bag that her mother had carefully prepared on the grass beside her so that they wouldn’t destroy it.
“Let’s do it then!” Tan Rou said.
The two burly men moved very quickly and were very strong. However, when they reached Tan Rou, they inexplicably fell down. Tan Rou didn’t stop just because they fell. Instead, she kicked them hard twice, then lifted their collars and threw them back to Tan Song’s feet.
Tan Song was stunned. He didn’t even see how Tan Rou attacked. In an instant, the two tall men were knocked down by Tan Rou. Not only that, Tan Rou even threw them over with each hand as if she was throwing sandbags.
“Why… How is that possible?” Tan Song looked at the two big men on the ground who were hugging each other and crying in horror. He questioned, “Tan Rou, how do you have so much strength?”
“Why should 1 tell you? Do you still want to try?” Tan Rou asked Tan Song with her hands in her pockets.
Tan Song shook his head like a rattle-drum, but he was not willing to let Tan Rou go just like that.
“Tell me, who gave you the idea?” Tan Rou asked. Tan Song had just come to look for her, and he had come alone. He shouldn’t come back for a while. Moreover, hiring these two people would not be cheap. Where did he get the money from? After thinking about it, he could only get money from his ex-wife.
“Did Chen Yi give you money to kidnap me? Are you working for her now?” Tan Rou asked pointedly. “How much salary does she give you every month? Do she even have 5 million?”
Tan Song’s face turned green. “Who said I’m working for that b * tch? Let’s see if she’s worthy of me working for her!”
“As you can see, the person you found doesn’t have the ability to kidnap me.” Tan Rou said, “Even if you successfully kidnap her and get the money, do you think you’ll have the chance to spend it? If you spend decades in prison, who will benefit the most? Chen Yi has money but you don’t.. Wouldn’t she be living a better life than you?”
Chapter 470: 47 Making a Trip
Tan Song was really angry after hearing that. “Chen Yi, that b*tch. 1’11 definitely beat her to death when I get back!”
Tan Ron picked up the things on the ground. “I’m very supportive of you going back to teach her a lesson, so 1’11 be leaving first. You should go find Chen Yi too.” She coaxed Tan Song like he was a simple-minded child.
However, Tan Song was still stubborn. Tan Rou had already said this, but he still refused to go back like this. “Tan Rou, come with me. Don’t worry, 1 won’t hurt you, and 1 won’t tie you up. You just have to come with me, and I’ll make the best arrangements for you.”
The people he found were all kicked to the ground by Tan Rou, so he didn’t dare to act rashly.
“Is there something wrong with your brain? You kidnapped me to ask my parents for money, right?” Tan Rou asked in confusion.
“Why should 1 help you lie to my parents?”
“Xiao Rou, I beg you, please come with me. 1 won’t hurt you.” Tan Song had to seize this opportunity. If he let Tan Rou escape this time, he might not be able to find Tan Rou when she was alone next time. Moreover, he had spent so much money. He could not return empty-handed.
“Why don’t you come with us?” A few police officers quietly approached Tan Song. When they reached his side, they suddenly spoke.
Tan Song wanted to run out of reflexes, but the police were faster than him. They grabbed him, pressed him to the ground, and handcuffed him.
“You actually called the police!” Tan Song found it hard to believe. “When did you have the time to call the police?” He had been talking to Tan Rou the whole time and did not see her call the police.
“I don’t have to call the police myself.” Tan Rou shook the mobile phone in her hand. “1 only need to send a recording to someone and my location. Someone else will call the police for me.” When she was talking to Tan Song just now, Tan Rou had sent a recording and a message to Li Li to call the police. Li Li was very smart. She called the police as soon as she received the message and even reminded the police to go over quietly so as not to disturb the criminal.
The police officer looked at Tan Song and then at the two men on the ground. He smiled and said, “These two are big shots on our police station’s wanted list. Can’t believe that both of them are here.”
When Tan Rou heard that these two were on the list, she quickly asked, “Is there a reward that we could get?”
The police officer said, “There is indeed a bonus. These two were murderers who had escaped for several years. Now, the reward from them have increased to more than a hundred thousand yuan.
“Can I apply for it?” Tan Rou asked.
The police officer sized Tan Rou up and guessed that she was still a student. He said, “You can, but you’re still a student. You need your parents to be there to apply for it.”
Tan Rou had no objections. She just wanted to get the money.
The police officer saw her bright eyes and asked with a smile, “For a child your age, a hundred thousand is not a small amount. How do you plan to spend this money?”
Tan Rou thought about how she was almost kidnapped, and then she thought about the missing children. Every year, countless children went missing, and their parents would go bankrupt to find them.
“I want to do a project to find missing children.” Tan Rou had a flash of inspiration. “Just to help those parents who lost their children.”
The police officer was quite surprised. He thought that this little girl would want to save up or go on a trip after taking the money. He didn’t expect this little girl to have such high awareness and actually want to do charity projects. “Young lady,that’s a good idea!” The police officer encouraged him, “Do it well. After you’re done, I’ll put some money in. Consider it my meager effort.”
“Thank you, police.”
When Tan Song heard their words, his intestines turned green with regret. If he had known that these two people were wanted criminals, he would have brought them to the police station himself.
In fact, the asking price of these two people was relatively low. Otherwise, Tan Song would not have spent a few thousand yuan to hire these two tall and burly thugs.
They still had to go through the process. After the three police officers escorted Tan Song and the other two into the car, the leading police officer said to Tan Rou, “Young lady, we have to trouble you to come back with us to make a statement.”
Tan Rou agreed readily. She pulled open the police car door skillfully and got in.
The leading police officer was a little surprised. Were all the young girls these days so brave? She wasn’t even nervous about being inside the police car.
Every district was different, so the police officers in this district didn’t know that Tan Rou often took the police car. If it was Officer Wang from before, he would probably have told Tan Rou a joke..
