The Call

The next day,

Chen Yu went to school as usual, not worrying about anything at all, as if the incident from yesterday had nothing to do with her at all!

Although the Chen brothers became worried after watching the news of the hotel, especially Chen Ying, who was present at that time and was the most sensitive towards all these things.

He had some doubts about this.

'She didn't go inside, how did she know there was something like that? Also, how did she know that I was sensitive over things like this?' the questions went around in his mind as he was giving sneaky looks towards Chen Yu the whole time while eating the breakfast.

Chen Li also had the same doubts about her, because she knew something beforehand, so she intentionally chose that hotel to eat lunch yesterday .

But they knew her savage personality very well, so they didn't have the guts to ask her anything directly, hence the two brothers continued to glance at her from time to time.

Of course, Chen Yu knew about this very well, what happened yesterday indeed had something to do with her.

They knew she would tell them, but even so, their curiosity won't go down.

And she also knew that they doubted her, but she just felt like there isn't any reason to explain anything to them for now, she will tell them everything at the right time.

A call came from the police station last night, but Chen Yu was asleep. So her parents didn't told her right away. Instead they told her about this in the breakfast.

They wanted Chen Yu to go to the police station to give her statement as a witness, so both parents wanted to go with her.

"Yu'er, how about I and your dad go with you?" Mother Chen asked her carefully, because she knew very well that going to a police station wasn't any good news.

But Chen Yu, who spent more than half of her life in the police station, wasn't afraid of anything. She smiled as she told her mother not to worry about her.

"Mom, you don't need to go there. As a witness, I went to the hotel with Chen Li, so it's best if I took him along with me today as well."

"Besides, I'm just going there to make a statement, so it's alright. It's not like I'm the murderer, right?" Chen Yu glanced at the two sneaky rats when she uttered the last sentence, which made them petrified at the spot.

"Well, that's right. We don't have anything to worry about. Yu'er can go with Li," Father Chen supported his daughter as always.

'Mur…Murderer?'

Both of them each other as they gulped down their saliva and lowered their heads without a second glance, and the whole time after the conversation, they didn't look up from their beautiful plates anymore, as if their eyes were stuck in the food with glue.

Chen Yu looked at them with an expressionless face, but her eyes were smiling. She didn't talk anymore as they continued to eat in silence.

Back at the school,

Wen Yue didn't come to school today, from the moment she went inside the gate of the school, she knew that yesterday's incident had spread rumors like wildfire.

And Wen Yue's lacky's were creating more false rumors to gain sympathy on behalf of Wen Yue.

"Alas, could anyone even imagine? She actually saw a murder scene, right before her eyes!"

"If I were Yue'er, I would have suffered hard"

"Our poor Yue'er, she suffered so much"

With the sound of the door opening almost the whole class looked towards the door, only to see that a girl walked inside with a backpack silently.

Chen Yu saw the whole class were looking at her, she felt a bit embarrassed.

'Hey, isn't that Chen Yu? What is she doing here?'

'My god… It's really her! I heard that she was also present there'

'Wen Yue took a leave of absence, why didn't she take one too?'

The entire class was whispering to each other. Some of them looked at her with worry, concern while some of them also scorned her.

Chen Yu didn't mind them as she went to her seat and sat down calmly. But Zhao Lan jumped over her before she could sit down properly.

"Yu'er, how do you feel? You were also present there. Wen Yue took a seven day leave, why didn't you take one too? You are also a victim," Zhao Lan was truly worried for her. This made Chen Yu's heart to warm up.

"But I'm fine. I don't need a leave of absence for such trivial matters. Besides, I'm not that rich to have a tutor at home, so If I want to do well at examinations, I have to attend school daily," Chen Yu's words left a good impression as well as sympathy for her on the student's around her without her knowledge.

"But I heard that you have to go to the police station to make a statement? Will you go there alone?" a female student came forward as she asked the question.

Chen Yu knew that they were asking her out of curiosity, not with any intention or malice, so she also answered them politely.

"Nope. It seems that my brother will come to pick me up after school, so I'll be going with him," Chen Yu answered to her smilingly,

After watching her polite behavior, other student's were also curious, so they came forward as they asked her for other information since they knew that she was a direct witness.

Chen Yu knew that this was a good time to network with other student's and to get to know them will make a good impression on them, so she also talked with them.

The purpose was simple, to build a communication network. It will help her in the near future.

After the teacher came, all of the class went forward smoothly without any interruption beside the teacher and students worried and concerned glances. But Chen Yu's always smiling face made them feel at ease, thinking that the incident didn't leave a bad impression on her.

Perhaps she had a strong mindset, so she wasn't in as bad a condition as Wen Yue.
