Chapter 20: A Trap
Li Qiang was punished to go home and reflect for three days.
For Li Qiang, such a punishment wasn’t severe, since he was a good student.
You know, for bad students, skipping class, surfing the internet, or fighting, any of those would be enough to earn a week of reflection at home.
Frankly speaking, Mr. Gao was just giving a symbolic punishment.
After all, in three days, it would be the final mock exam.
Mr. Gao certainly didn’t want Li Qiang’s grades to plummet because of this matter.
After resolving this small issue, Lin Tian continued studying in the following days.
That’s right, after finishing all his textbooks and exercises, Lin Tian, having nothing more to read, actively applied to Mr. Gao to skip classes and go to the library to read and improve his grades.
Mr. Gao found Lin Tian’s excuse to skip class ridiculously funny. Going to the library to read to improve grades, this was a first.
But to prevent Lin Tian, the troublemaker, from continuing to harm the good students in the class, Mr. Gao approved him to go to the library for three days.
Three days might not seem long, but when others were in class, Lin Tian finished reading all the books in the library.
From cultural history spanning thousands of years to Marx, whether useful or not, Lin Tian scanned through all the contents like a computer and memorized everything in his mind.
Finally, after finishing the last book "One Hundred Thousand Whys," Lin Tian closed the book, walked out of the library, and looked up at the pitch-black night sky.
Tomorrow’s mock exam, something to look forward to.
Early the next day, the Kanyue City Third Middle School mock exam began.
This was the last mock exam before the unified exams, and performing well in this mock exam basically represented how you’d do in the unified exams.
So both students and teachers, even the principal, valued this mock exam very much.
However, before the exam, there was a small incident.
Lin Tian was just about to enter the teaching building when he was suddenly stopped by Feng Biao.
Lin Tian stared at Feng Biao standing before him, "On such an important day today, you wouldn’t want to fight, would you?"
"Someone wants to see you!" Feng Biao smiled slightly.
"I have to take the exam, not interested!" Lin Tian bypassed Feng Biao intending to enter the teaching building.
"Aren’t you interested in seeing Mr. Liu?"
"Mr. Liu?" Lin Tian stopped in his tracks and quickly turned around.
"Yes~ Liu Chan, Mr. Liu, I bet you remember him well? He’s the young master who took your ex-girlfriend!" Feng Biao intentionally provoked Lin Tian, saying it in the most offensive way.
"Let’s go, take me to him!" Lin Tian clenched his fists tightly, the veins on his arms coiling like dragons.
"I knew you’d come with me!" A sinister smile flashed briefly on Feng Biao’s lips.
Following Feng Biao, the two of them reached the gymnasium. At this time, because the mock exam was about to start, the gymnasium was empty.
"Where is he?" Upon entering the gymnasium, Lin Tian vaguely sensed something was wrong.
"The bathroom!" Feng Biao pointed to the bathroom deep in the gymnasium.
Following behind Feng Biao into the bathroom, Lin Tian suddenly stopped and stared at the people inside.
There stood three people in the bathroom, one of them holding a dagger.
"Did you deliberately use Liu Chan to trick me here?" Lin Tian immediately understood Feng Biao’s scheme.
"Yes and no!" Feng Biao said cryptically.
"With just you four, I don’t even take you seriously!" Lin Tian disdainfully looked at the four people, including Feng Biao, in front of him.
Feng Biao hurriedly waved his hands, "NO! NO! I never said I wanted to fight you. I know you’re strong. Finding three people to fight you would just be asking for trouble."
"Then what do you want?" Lin Tian frowned, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.
"Wang Erjia!" Feng Biao called, and a person standing behind him suddenly stepped forward.
"Do it!" Feng Biao ordered.
Then, the person holding the dagger suddenly stabbed Wang Erjia with it.
Wang Erjia cried out in pain and then clutched his abdomen, collapsing to the ground.
"What are you doing?" Lin Tian looked puzzled at this group of fools; they hadn’t even hit him yet and were already fighting amongst themselves?
"Something’s not right!" Lin Tian suddenly realized the knife wasn’t stabbed deeply; only the tip of the knife pierced through the fat layer, not causing any serious harm.
Evidently, the other side had some ulterior motive for such an act!
"Clang!" The dagger fell to the ground, and the person who was holding it suddenly took off his gloves.
"Hmm..." Lin Tian naturally saw this too.
But before Lin Tian could react, Feng Biao dashed out of the bathroom like a madman, screaming hysterically, "Help~ someone help~ someone is using a knife to kill someone!"
"Damn!" Lin Tian couldn’t help but curse. So this was a goddamn trap!
"Help~ Lin Tian is killing!"
"Teacher~ teacher, Lin Tian is killing someone!"
The remaining two students in the bathroom also dashed out madly, shouting desperately.
Lin Tian stood there, shaking his head helplessly. The human heart, indeed, is the most terrifying existence in this world!
When Lin Tian walked out of the bathroom, several teachers had already arrived in response to the noise, pressing Lin Tian to the ground immediately.
"I didn’t kill anyone, I was framed!" Lin Tian shouted, though he wanted to resist, if he did, wouldn’t that make him the perpetrator?
"Quick, call an ambulance~!"
"Hurry, call the police!"
Several teachers frantically pulled out their phones and began making calls.
In the principal’s office, Lin Tian and Feng Biao, among others, were all standing in the corner, while Wang Erjia had long been taken away by an ambulance.
"Director, student Wang Erjia only suffered superficial wounds, no organs were harmed, and there’s no life threat!" Soon, a teacher came in to inform.
"Look at the mess you’ve caused!" Mr. Fu sternly reprimanded the group in front of him.
With the unified exams about to take place, causing such a commotion, if it was widely reported by the media, he might not be able to keep his position as principal!
These brats are really infuriating!
"Mr. Fu, if we hadn’t run quickly, we might have been stabbed by him too!" Feng Biao said with a face full of panic, it must be said, with his acting skills, he’d have no problem getting into Kanyue City Film University.
"Hmm~" Mr. Fu glared at Feng Biao.
"Oh~ principal, if it weren’t for us..."
Feng Biao immediately realized what was happening, Mr. Fu hated being called Mr. Fu. Clearly he was the principal, but when people called him Mr. Fu, they all thought he was the vice principal!
"Lin Tian, do you have anything to say?" Mr. Fu stared angrily at Lin Tian, the main culprit.
"Principal, from start to finish I didn’t do anything, and I didn’t use a knife!" Lin Tian defended himself.
"You didn’t use a knife?" Mr. Fu seemed to hear a joke: "You didn’t use a knife, then why is Wang Erjia lying in the hospital, are you going to tell me he stabbed himself?"
"It’s true, it was he who stabbed himself!" Wang Xiaofei pointed at the student holding the dagger.
"Teacher, I’m innocent, here’s how the situation was at that time..."
