Chapter 989: Chapter 989 Master Zhi: What are you barking about?
Two mornings later.
As soon as Gu Zhiqi arrived at the entrance of Class Eight, someone blocked her way.
The person in front of her was covered in bruises, had a bandage wrapped around their head, was leaning on a crutch, and exuded a cold and gloomy aura.
Despite the injuries on the face, Gu Zhiqi immediately recognized him as Ling Yuanzhou, whom she had beaten up one afternoon two years ago.
But...
How did he end up like this?
"Gu Zhiqi." Ling Yuanzhou stared coldly at Gu Zhiqi, speaking through gritted teeth.
Gu Zhiqi looked at his confrontational posture, raised an eyebrow, leaned lazily against the wall near the door, and asked casually, "Got a problem?"
"The injuries on me, weren’t they caused by you?" Ling Yuanzhou fixed a harsh glare on Gu Zhiqi and asked chillingly.
Gu Zhiqi immediately shook her head, "No."
Although she indeed beat him up that afternoon, besides his head, which she did hit, she specifically targeted places that would hurt like hell when he woke up but wouldn’t leave any marks.
However, it was clear Ling Yuanzhou had numerous injuries on him.
Those obvious injuries were definitely not inflicted by her.
When Ling Yuanzhou saw Gu Zhiqi deny it, he laughed coldly, "Still claiming it’s not you? After you said those words yesterday, I passed out, and when I woke up, I was like this. Are you saying you didn’t beat me up?"
Gu Zhiqi raised an eyebrow at this.
Why wouldn’t she dare to claim it? She definitely dared to say she didn’t do it.
"It wasn’t me."
There was not an ounce of pressure in saying that.
Seeing Gu Zhiqi deny it again, Ling Yuanzhou’s eyes grew colder, "If it wasn’t you, then who? Before I passed out, I was talking to you, denying it is useless, it was you."
Gu Zhiqi remained unfazed, lazily responding, "Oh."
Seeing Gu Zhiqi’s dismissive demeanor, Ling Yuanzhou’s eyes turned even colder.
Before Ling Yuanzhou could speak, Gu Zhiqi lazily half-closed her eyes and asked, "Evidence?"
Ling Yuanzhou clenched his teeth secretly, "Evidence? You had someone delete the surveillance; how dare you ask me for evidence? I didn’t expect you to be like this, scheming and ruthless."
Thinking about this, Ling Yuanzhou was seething with resentment.
When he woke up from that coma, he found himself lying in an alley, covered in injuries.
He remembered Gu Zhiqi saying to him that she would smash his head before he passed out.
So, he suspected Gu Zhiqi first thing.
However, he also knew Gu Zhiqi hadn’t been kicked out of the Gu Family, and with their protective nature, they wouldn’t easily hand her over.
So he immediately had someone retrieve the school gate’s surveillance footage.
But it was no use.
The surveillance was deleted that day; even hiring hackers to restore it was futile.
As for who deleted the surveillance, Ling Yuanzhou’s first suspect was Gu Zhiqi.
For these two days, he had been staying in the hospital, so he hadn’t come to look for Gu Zhiqi.
Today, as soon as he was discharged, he went to block her at the entrance of Class Eight, intending to confront Gu Zhiqi.
Gu Zhiqi listened to Ling Yuanzhou and gently raised an eyebrow, her smile lazy and mocking, "So, you don’t have physical evidence?"
Ling Yuanzhou’s face was stern, and he remained silent.
Gu Zhiqi looked at Ling Yuanzhou and continued to ask, "Did anyone see it?"
Hearing this, Ling Yuanzhou’s face darkened further.
He had someone check, but unfortunately, nobody saw anything.
"Looks like no one saw it." Gu Zhiqi said, the smile at the corners of her mouth growing increasingly mocking, "No witnesses, no physical evidence, so, what are you barking for?"
Ling Yuanzhou: ?
Barking... barking?
