Chapter 87 "Okay, I'll give it to you."

".....!?"

The sudden movement by Fang Li shocked everyone in the Student Council office.

Unconsciously, everyone stood up, including Horikita Manabu and Chabashira Sae.

"Ishizaki!"

"Ishizaki!"

Komiya Kyougo and Kondou Reo quickly helped the kneeling Ishizaki Daichi.

"Ouch! It hurts so much!"

Ishizaki Daichi knelt on the ground, holding the affected area, and moaned in pain.

Fang Li's recent action had clearly caused him significant pain.

"Did you... really dare to hit him?"

Sakagami Kazuma looked at Fang Li in disbelief.

Nobody expected that Fang Li would actually use force.

And right in front of the Student Council!

"Nanaya-san, you..."

Tachibana Akane was both shocked and tensed, preparing to say something.

But before she could speak, Horikita Manabu reached out and stopped her.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a little display."

Fang Li remained calm, looking at Ishizaki Daichi kneeling on the ground, his face white with pain.

"As you can see, I just struck a specific part of his body, and he reacted like this."

Fang Li said quietly.

"The human body is incredibly fragile."

"Compress the carotid artery, and you can cause cerebral ischemia."

"Cut the major artery, and you can cause fatal injuries."

"The human body has many such weak points. Just apply a certain level of pressure, and you can cause all sorts of symptoms, even stopping the vital signs."

"If one could fully grasp the secrets of the human body, one could apply a small amount of pressure like this to make the target uncomfortable, such as intensifying pain. If the force of the touch is controlled perfectly, and the transmission of the nerves is considered, the discomfort symptoms could be delayed and still appear later. This is not an impossible feat."

Fang Li spoke in a chillingly calm voice, looking down at Ishizaki Daichi who was on the ground, holding the affected area, and sweating with pain.

"Of course, this level of attack would leave no marks on the body, and even forensics couldn't trace the source of injury. At most, they could only conclude that it was caused by accidental impact on a vital spot."

In other words...

"If they really wanted to make friends with Kushida and I wanted to do something to these three guys because I didn't like them, I wouldn't need to leave such obvious physical evidence. Just touching them like this a few times would be enough to teach them a lesson."

Fang Li said these words in a sarcastic tone.

"Afterwards, there would be no signs of injury to prove anything, and even if the victims wanted to sue me, there would be no way to do so."

In other words, Fang Li's meaning is very simple.

"Since there is a method that can achieve the goal without leaving any hidden dangers, why should I leave such obvious injuries to them and become evidence that is unfavorable to me?"

Fang Li turned his gaze and looked at Horikita Manabu.

"Or, does the student council president think that I am the kind of person who doesn't even consider the possibility of being accused afterwards and acts impulsively based on emotions?"

Fang Li's slightly sarcastic words made Horikita Manabu furrow his brow and sink into thought.

At this time, Sakagami Kazuma spoke up.

"But what does this prove? It still doesn't prove that you didn't attack the three students from our class, does it?"

Indeed.

Even if Fang Li demonstrated his impressive knowledge and techniques on the human body, proving that he wouldn't harm others in such an obvious manner, it was still not enough evidence.

"Perhaps you acted impulsively and attacked the Ishizaki trio, or maybe it was your strategy all along to leave obvious injuries on them intentionally. Later, you used this method to prove that you could have caused much worse harm and thus deny your involvement."

Sakagami Kazuma said with a cold sneer, seemingly angered by Fang Li's repeated reckless actions.

"To think you can prove your innocence with such flimsy arguments is too naive."

Sakagami Kazuma retorted.

However...

"You want substantial evidence?"

Fang Li replied calmly.

"Very well, I'll give it to you."

The crowd perked up at his decisive tone.

"Do you...do you really have evidence?"

Sakagami Kazuma's confidence wavered as he asked, staring at Fang Li's unchanging face.

But Fang Li was undeterred and answered.

"Yes, I do."

Sakagami Kazuma pushed his glasses up and tried to appear composed.

"There were no surveillance cameras in the Special Teaching Building where the incident took place, nor were there any witnesses. What kind of evidence could you possibly have?"

But Sakagami Kazuma was wrong.

There was a witness.

But even if that person testified in Fang Li's defense, no one would believe them.

Because that person was from Class D.

Any testimony from Class D would be regarded as fabricated evidence to exonerate Fang Li and would hold no credibility.

That's why Fang Li had not bothered to find the witness before.

Furthermore, Sakagami Kazuma had made another mistake.

"It's true that there were no surveillance cameras in the Special Teaching Building, but what about outside the building?"

Fang Li pointed out.

"I said I didn't hurt those three, so after I left, they should have been unharmed when they exited the building."

If that was the case, then the cameras outside the building should have captured footage of the Ishizaki trio leaving unscathed.

This would be enough to prove Fang Li's innocence.

But...

"The school has already reviewed all the camera footage from that day, and there was no record of the Ishizaki trio leaving the Special Teaching Building."

Tachibana Akane delivered the bad news.

This was not surprising.

"I thought so," Fang Li said confidently. "With Ryuuen's shrewdness, he would never leave such a loophole, right?"

Although not like Fang Li, Ryuuen Kakeru was also a dangerous and ruthless tyrant who would use any means necessary to achieve his goals. He would definitely pay attention to the positions of the surveillance cameras on campus and would have tried to exploit the grey areas to carry out his shady activities.

In fact, one could even say that without reaching such an extent, he wouldn't even qualify to accompany Fang Li for a mere play.

And the facts also prove this point.

Because he knew that there were no surveillance cameras in the Special Teaching Building, Ryuuen Kakeru invited Fang Li there for the incident.

Ryuuen Kakeru had undoubtedly planned it all out in advance and would not have allowed the Ishizaki trio to be captured on camera.

Unfortunately, Ryuuen Kakeru overlooked one thing.

"It's not only cameras that can capture the images at that time."

Fang Li said so and took out his own phone.
