Chapter 36：Eyes Spying in The Dark

Pei Jianing was a transfer student…

Pei Jianing's relationships with others weren't good…

Pei Jianing and Xia Bing had a deep conflict…

The first person Pei Jianing killed after she became a malicious ghost was Xia bing…

Before Pei Jianing died, her legs were broken and she was tossed onto the road…

Pei Jianing…

After a series of conditions appeared, Lin Wu already had some guesses in his heart, but he still needed to verify them. Moreover, he didn't know how he should find the evidence that Pei Jianing didn't die in a car accident but was killed on purpose.

After pondering deeply for a while, Lin Wu asked again, "Other than the theft of a phone, did Pei Jianing and Xia Bing have any other conflict?"

"Eh…"

The ponytail girl hesitated but then cautiously continued in a low voice, "Handsome teacher, the rest of what I know are all gossips, I cannot be sure if it's true. It isn't too convenient for me to spread such things around, right?"

Lin Wu glanced at the other teachers in the office. He then stood up and casually spoke, "Take the papers, let's head to the classroom together."

"Oh."

The ponytail girl hurriedly took the papers on the desk and followed him out of the office.

After they exited the office, Lin Wu glanced at the ponytail girl behind him. Only then did he speak, "Alright, you can tell me about those gossips now. I'm actually quite interested."

Maybe since their age gap wasn't that great and Lin Wu was also the son of their teacher-in-charge, the ponytail girl didn't feel any sense of estrangement with him.

"Actually, all these are hearsay, but Xia Bing seemed to have been in a relationship with a male student from the next class. She had pursued him bitterly for a long time before she succeeded, but it seemed that because of Pei Jianing, Xia Bing and that male student had quarreled. In addition to the fact that Pei Jianing had stolen her phone, Xia Bing hated Pei Jianing even more."

No wonder it wasn't convenient for her to say all these in the office. Early romance was frowned upon.

Lin Wu contemplated for some time and asked, "For the matter of stealing the phone. Did it occur before or after Xia Bing and the male student quarrel?"

"After the incident, I think it was during the second day." the girl replied. She then continued in a low voice, "Handsome guy, all these are just gossips I heard. I don't know if they are true or not."

"It's fine, I'm just curious."

Lin Wu smiled, but the certainty in his heart grew.

Since Xia Bing had to put in so much effort before she succeeded in pursuing her male friend, this meant that she truly liked her boyfriend very much. But her boyfriend might not have reciprocated like she wanted to.

For children of such a young age, how could there be any true emotions?

If their feelings weren't deep, in that case, the boyfriend might shift his emotions and fall in love with others. The target of his feelings now might have shifted onto Pei Jianing.

And as for Xia Bing, she would naturally hate Pei Jianing.

She quarreled with her boyfriend during the first day, and during the second day, the suspicion that Pei Jianing had stolen Xia Bing's phone circulated out. Wasn't this too coincidental?

Maybe, everything happened because Xia Bing had wanted to frame Pei Jianing?

Xia Bing might have done so to take revenge on Pei Jianing or spoil Pei Jianing's image in her boyfriend's eyes.

Lin Wu's heart stirred. He then asked again, "Before Xia Bing died, did she break up with her boyfriend?"

"I think so." The ponytail girl nodded. "I remember that in the past, before the school ended, there would be a car fetching Xia Bing and her boyfriend to leave the school together. But during that period, she became the only one to board the car."

"Is Xia Bing's family very rich?"

"It should be. She had a designated driver sending her to school and back." The girl nodded.

"Oh?"

Lin Wu became increasingly certain in his heart.

If Xia Bing was someone from an ordinary family, it was impossible for her to arrange for someone to break Pei Jianing's legs for the sake of revenge. Only someone from a wealthy family could do this.

"Handsome guy, why are you so interested in the matters of Pei Jianing?" The ponytail girl couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing much." Lin Wu casually spoke, "I'm acquainted with Pei Jianing. But since I heard she was no longer around, I simply took the chance to ask you in the passing."

Naturally, he was saying in his heart, "This is a matter of my wife, how can I not be interested?"

"Handsome guy, don't tell me you are an old cow wanting to eat tender grass? Do you want to pursue Pei Jianing? But she's indeed very beautiful. Even I'm a little envious." The ponytail girl had a gossipy look on her face.

"Cough, don't spread this around anyhow."

He finally understood why this girl knew so much gossip. So it turned out that her personality was like this; she was a gossipy person.

"Oh ya," Lin Wu asked again. "That boyfriend of Xia Bing, which class was he from? What is his name?"

"He is from the third class. His name is Chen Ning…"

As they spoke, Lin Wu suddenly felt a sensation like brambles and thorns were pricking his back. He couldn't help but feel a chill, and even his fine hair was standing on their ends.

It was as though a pair of venomous eyes were staring fixedly behind him.

Lin Wu abruptly turned. He only saw a tall figure flashing past the corner of the corridor. He didn't manage to see any face.

"What's wrong, handsome guy?" The ponytail girl was astonished.

Lin Wu pointed to the corner of the corridor behind him and asked, "Did you see the one who peeped at us?"

"I didn't see anyone." The girl had a blank look on her face.

"You didn't see anyone?"

Lin Wu involuntarily frowned.

Earlier, when he turned his head, he could see a silhouette at the corner. That was the direction the ponytail girl had been facing, yet she didn't see anyone?

Now, he was more sensitive to ghosts. If something out of the ordinary appeared, it might very well be a ghost.

At this moment, there might be a ghost that was spying on him in the dark…

Lin Wu's heart abruptly chilled. Could it be the female ghost that the matchmaker had found for him to be his wife?

"Ring~"

The preparatory bell before the lesson started rang.

Lin Wu drew in a deep breath. He didn't think too much and spoke, "Alright, let's go into the classroom."

"Oh."

The two of them rapidly walked to the vicinity of the classroom. And at this moment, Lin Wu suddenly asked, "Oh ya, didn't you say that Pei Jianing had a friend called Zhang something? Where is she seated at?"

"Zhang Yuqing, she's seated at the corner of the class, next to the water dispenser," answered the ponytail girl.

"Alright, I understand."

Lin Wu nodded. He then entered the classroom and walked toward the rostrum.

Maybe it was because of his father's prestige and the fact that these students didn't know that their teacher-in-charge wasn't here today, but they were actually seated properly when the preparatory bell rang.

At this moment, when they saw that the person entering wasn't their teacher-in-charge but Lin Wu instead, their expressions were that of astonishment.

Lin Wu's hands held the rostrum by the side, and his gaze swept through the classroom before smiling. "Hello students. Today, Teacher Lin has something on, so I will be substituting for him."

As he spoke, he also saw a girl with a round face seated at the corner of the classroom, next to the water dispenser.

She was the only friend of Pei Jianing in this class - Zhang Yuqing.

That student was resting her upper body on her table, slumping forward, seemingly lost in thought. It was unknown what she was thinking about.
