Chapter 617: Chapter 617

Because of Huo Feng, Pu Sangzhi hadn’t replied to Han Lei for two days.

Not replying to Han Lei seemed to suggest that she was avoiding him.

So, when Han Lei now specifically came looking for her at class, Pu Sangzhi felt rather guilty.

Han Lei, this guy, had a temperament so bad it was as if he was acting cool.

Regardless of whether she replied to him or not, he just said "come out with me" and immediately turned around and left, disappearing at the classroom door.

At such a moment, if Pu Sangzhi really intended to sever ties with him, she completely could have chosen not to go out with him!

Pu Sangzhi didn’t want to sever ties either. So, she obediently stood up and walked out of the classroom.

Han Lei walked ahead with his hands in his pockets as if he had calculated she would follow, only occasionally turning back to glance at Pu Sangzhi.

Pu Sangzhi didn’t speak, just followed behind him.

Soon, he led her away from the class, down the stairs...

Only when they reached the first floor and Pu Sangzhi saw they were about to leave the teaching building did she finally couldn’t help but call out to Han Lei, "Class is about to start, where do you want to take me?"

Up ahead, Han Lei turned around at a distance of one meter, his gaze indifferently looking at her, "To a place with no people."

Pu Sangzhi instinctively took a step back and shook her head, "No!"

"What do you think I want to do?"

Han Lei frowned, "Just come!"

After speaking, he turned and prepared to continue walking.

However, after two steps, Pu Sangzhi’s voice of refusal came from behind him again, "I won’t go."

Han Lei turned around without hesitation, reached out and grabbed Pu Sangzhi’s arm, pulling her out of the teaching building, not caring whether she was willing or struggling!

"Hey, I said I won’t go!"

Pu Sangzhi naturally twisted her arm in resistance, and her temper flared, "I won’t go if I say I won’t. Class is about to start! Hey, what are you doing..."

At that moment, Han Lei seemed as if he couldn’t hear anything else, just determined to drag Pu Sangzhi to a secluded place.

The more they turned into deserted areas, the more ominous Pu Sangzhi felt!

Even though she believed Han Lei was still quite a gentleman, sometimes, when faced with a man’s forceful actions, it was hard for her to think in normal ways.

And Pu Sangzhi didn’t know what Han Lei wanted to do. For a moment, her mind raced back to the summer vacation when Han Lei confessed to her!

The more she couldn’t resist, the more panicked she became...

Back then, as soon as Han Lei suddenly took her to a secluded place, she immediately kept more than a meter distance from him!

"What are you trying to do?"

Pu Sangzhi looked at him with a slightly panicked expression, "I am not in the mood to discuss trivial matters with you now; my life is a total mess. My class teacher, Huo Feng, and my roommate, they all got hurt because of me. Don’t get any closer to me, I don’t want to drag anyone else down!"

These words were indeed Pu Sangzhi’s heartfelt words.

Han Lei felt much better when she used this reason to avoid him.

He also breathed a sigh of relief, his tense face slowly relaxing, "So that’s why you haven’t replied to my messages."

In her heart, Pu Sangzhi thought: She didn’t reply to his messages purely because of Huo Feng’s jealousy.

However, seeing Han Lei come up with such a good reason for himself, she thought it over and decided not to explain.

If that reason made him feel more comfortable, then so be it...

"I’ve heard a lot about what’s been happening at your house recently," Han Lei said as he moved two steps closer, hands in his pockets and spoke seriously, "I don’t know how to talk to you about your family matters. Maybe I don’t even have the standing to discuss them. But since your family had issues, I’ve been contacting you, and you’ve never replied. I want to know if you no longer consider me a friend?"

Pu Sangzhi denied, "It’s just that, my life is already so chaotic, so terrible. I don’t want to keep talking about how pitiful I am, nor do I want pity from anyone."

Indeed, since her family’s issues exploded in the school, Han Lei had been privately contacting her.

But she hadn’t replied to him.

There were many reasons for not replying...

One of the reasons was that Pu Sangzhi felt she wasn’t that close to him; there was no need to discuss such matters with him.

Besides, she just didn’t like discussing her family matters with others.

Her family matters, she would only discuss them with Huo Feng.

Han Lei slightly frowned, "Do you still consider me a friend?"

Pu Sangzhi replied indifferently, "I do consider you a friend. It’s just that I don’t discuss my miseries with friends."

"I see. Then you needn’t say more, I understand," Han Lei said, feeling satisfied with her response.

He felt like a weight had been lifted off his chest as if all the worry and anxiety of this period had been addressed.

Han Lei pursed his lips, then added, "I have something I want to show you."

As he spoke, he smoothly pulled out his cellphone from his pocket.

In front of Pu Sangzhi, Han Lei displayed no hesitation or concealment, immediately opening the video he had secretly recorded using Han Feiyi’s phone beforehand.

"You watch first, if there’s anything you don’t understand, I’ll explain afterwards," he said.

He handed his phone to Pu Sangzhi.

Very soon, Pu Sangzhi began watching the video seriously.

The video was of a cellphone.

No, it should be said it was of the WeChat chat interface on the cellphone screen.

Every word was recorded so clearly that it was difficult to look away...

Pu Sangzhi saw the instigators discussing the ’acid attack’ and noticed that there was also an internal dispute between them.

When a voice message was played, a very familiar and shrill voice was heard from the video!

Pu Sangzhi immediately recognized the owner of the voice, looked up, her eyes widening in disbelief as she turned to Han Lei.

Han Lei pointed to the phone, saying, "Keep watching."

After that, Pu Sangzhi lowered her head again and continued to listen, continued to watch...

Observing the exchange of WeChat messages in the video, watching the two instigators argue over who was right and who was wrong, shirking responsibilities onto each other.

At that moment, Pu Sangzhi’s mind was struck with a shock akin to a nuclear explosion!

The further the video played, the clearer it became who the instigators were this time!

Especially when Han Feiyi’s voice appeared in the video as well, Pu Sangzhi’s firm values completely shattered!

She had absolutely not anticipated it!

An acid attack, such a serious matter...

Such a malicious act!

Even more so, it was completely illegal!

Yet it turned out to be orchestrated by two students!

Moreover... it was actually two female students who had planned it all!

By the end of the video, even Han Feiyi’s WeChat and Moments were thoroughly exposed...

It was undoubtedly a very convincing piece of evidence!

Amidst her shock, Pu Sangzhi finished watching the video...

Right until the very end, she found it difficult to snap back to reality.

Her heart was ’thump thump thump’ racing rapidly, her thoughts a chaotic mess!

At that moment, what came to her mind was not how to deal with the two instigators.

It was the day of the incident, when she was walking on the road with Wen Miao, suddenly someone threw acid at them!

Also, the assailant called out to her from behind, causing her to turn her head just as the acid was about to scar her face, but Huo Feng shielded her with his body!

That was followed by Wen Miao in tears from the pain, Huo Feng gritting his teeth, gasping heavily...

The events of that day were replaying in Pu Sangzhi’s mind like scenes in a movie, one after another...

"As you can see," Han Lei voiced as he took back his phone, admitting frankly, "I was the one who recorded the video. That day at home, I overheard her in her room discussing this matter. I found an opportunity to take her phone and recorded this evidence. Now, I will immediately send it to you." Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍

Han Lei was sincere and honest, an upright and straightforward person in his actions and behavior.

While Pu Sangzhi was still struggling to recover from the shock, he had already sent the video directly to her via WeChat.

Afterward, Pu Sangzhi slowly began to extricate her thoughts from the truth...

She took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, using several deep breaths to calm herself down a bit.

A while later, she finally spoke up, "This is a crime. They are committing a crime. I have to report them, I must report them!"

But at that moment, Han Lei suddenly grasped her arm, saying, "No."

Pu Sangzhi furrowed her brows as she looked at him, her tone inadvertently raising several notches, "They’ve committed a crime! They planned an acid attack! Do you realize that if Wen Miao and Huo Feng hadn’t shielded me from two bottles of acid that day, I would be in the hospital fighting for my life right now. And it would have been a direct assault on my face! It was Huo Feng who shielded me! He’s still suffering in the hospital!"

Pu Sangzhi immediately became angry...

And she looked very furious.

Han Lei didn’t know about these incidents, and hearing her say this, he had complicated feelings.

But he had his concerns...

"I’m giving you this evidence. Not because I want you to sue my sister..." Han Lei hesitated, "She’s my sister, my family. If you sue her and she ends up in jail, my parents will definitely hate me. Then, I might have to run away from home..."

Pu Sangzhi paused, then challenged, "If you won’t let me use it, then why did you give me this evidence?"
