Chapter 406: Chapter 396: Too Late, To Break Her Legs

Xia Enci certainly couldn’t stand someone attacking Jiang Zhe.

She jumped down from the upper bunk, intending to lock the door, and then stood directly in front of Tang Xinru to confront her.

Just as she walked in front of Tang Xinru, the lights suddenly went out—it was the scheduled time for the school to cut the power.

The sudden darkness made Xia Enci feel disoriented for a second.

It was during that second that Tang Xinru picked up an ornament from the table and smashed it hard against her leg.

Caught off guard, Xia Enci was hit hard by Tang Xinru. She retaliated fiercely, clawing at Tang Xinru’s arm and face, but because her leg was injured, she didn’t manage to catch Tang Xinru, leaving only several scratches on her.

Then Tang Xinru ran out of the dormitory and locked the door from the outside.

Xia Enci didn’t hit her again, and when she next saw someone, it was after Tang Xinru had already called the police and summoned the teachers from the department, causing a stir at the school.

Both of them were then taken to the hospital.

The police said, "According to your statement, Tang Xinru attacked you first?"

"Yes."

"Your scratching her was an act of self-defense in a moment of urgency?"

"Right."

"Other than scratching her, did you make any other moves to strike her?"

Xia Enci clenched her teeth fiercely, "I regret that I didn’t! She must have been prepared when she hit me since she ran away right after. If there is a next time, I’ll definitely block her and give her a good beating!"

Police: "..."

He Ling said from the side, "Sorry Officer, she’s just joking. She’s very kind to her classmates and would never initiate a fight."

But Teacher Zhang, who had come along to deal with the situation, looked deeply at Xia Enci. He had already understood that Tang Xinru was covered with injuries, much more serious than Xia Enci’s.

There was a lot of exaggeration in Xia Enci’s words.

He decided to have a good talk with Xia Enci later.

The police packed up the report, "We will investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Please do investigate thoroughly! I truly acted in self-defense. I did not initiate any aggression towards Tang Xinru!"

Teacher Zhang sent off the police officer, saying, "Xia Enci, we need to talk privately."

Jiang Zhe got up and walked out of the ward with Qin Jingchen.

He Ling gave Xia Enci an encouraging look, then left with He Zizhou.

He Zizhou said, "I just heard that Tang Xinru suddenly broke a leg?"

"Didn’t have enough time to break both," Jiang Zhe said lightly.

This way of handling things was very Jiang Zhe.

He Zizhou was not surprised, commenting, "She indeed deserved it. It’s just that if she breaks a leg now, the investigation results could be unfavourable for Xia Enci."

"Yeah, if Tang Xinru breaks a leg at this time, it will definitely all fall back on Xia Enci," He Ling felt that this time, Jiang Zhe was indeed a bit rash.

No sooner had he finished speaking than he felt Qin Jingchen’s frosty gaze on him, sending a chill down his spine.

He straightened his back and said fearlessly, "I’m genuinely worried about Enci. She’s already hurt her leg, and if she gets entangled in a lawsuit, what then?"

"Do you think you’re the only one worried about her?" Jiang Zhe shot him a glance.

He Ling hung her head and said nothing.

A while later, Teacher Zhang walked out of Xia Enci’s hospital room.

He Ling immediately went in to see Xia Enci.

Teacher Zhang took off his glasses, looking somewhat helpless.

He walked up to Jiang Zhe and said, "Jiang Zhe, you and Xia Enci have the best relationship, right?"

"Yes."

"Then you should earnestly persuade her, some things must be told truthfully, striving for leniency. Don’t confront the police and the law."

Jiang Zhe’s tone turned cold, "Does Teacher Zhang think Xia Enci is lying?"

Teacher Zhang put his glasses back on, "I didn’t mean to imply that she is intentionally lying. But Xia Enci’s martial skill and physical strength are well-known throughout the school, and everyone can see it for themselves. It makes no sense for Tang Xinru to initiate an attack on her, and moreover, Tang Xinru’s wounds are numerous, covering her entire body, while Xia Enci only has an injured leg, with no other marks. This suggests that it was Xia Enci who first struck Tang Xinru, and Tang Xinru, being pushed beyond her limit, retaliated against Xia Enci, and in a fit of desperation grabbed a decorative object and smashed Xia Enci’s leg."

These words were also Tang Xinru’s own account.

It’s no wonder Teacher Zhang so readily believed Tang Xinru; all the evidence at hand also supported Tang Xinru’s version of events.

Tang Xinru’s body was covered with wounds, on her chest, back, face, legs, large and small, which were horrifying to see.

Just now, when Teacher Zhang brought her over, he was shocked by these wounds.

Combined with Xia Enci’s usual way of handling things, indeed she had a temper that could easily flare up, and once she started fighting, even two male athletes from the sports department were no match for her.

Teacher Zhang had already made up his mind beforehand.

Earlier, when he was communicating with Xia Enci in the hospital room, he also tried to persuade her to speak freely in hopes of lenient treatment, so as to avoid uncontrollable and severe consequences.

As you might guess, Xia Enci didn’t say much before she sent him away.

This only solidified his opinion.

Having no other choice, he then turned to communicate with Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe’s expression was cold, "The police haven’t even released their investigation results, and Teacher Zhang has already come to a conclusion. It seems that there’s no need for the police to get involved after all."

Teacher Zhang ignored the sarcasm in his words and said seriously, "Jiang Zhe, I’m doing this for Xia Enci’s own good. If she waits until the investigation results come out before she reflects, it will be too late. The situation is still under control now; as long as she admits her mistake and shows a good attitude, I will do my best to speak on her behalf with the Tang Family."

"There’s no need, let’s wait for the outcome of the police investigation."

Seeing that he was as unyielding as Xia Enci, Teacher Zhang sighed and walked towards Tang Xinru’s side.

"Go back and get some sleep first, I have things to do in the day," Jiang Zhe said.

Qin Jingchen followed in her footsteps.

Jiang Zhe wasn’t worried about Xia Enci’s situation; since the Tang Family knew Qin Jingchen, they naturally understood not to look for trouble on his side.

But because of the incident involving Jiang Zhe breaking Tang Xinru’s leg, the Tang Family was on high alert, arranging dozens of bodyguards to encircle Tang Xinru’s hospital room and protect it.

Tang Xinru’s leg injury was urgently scheduled for surgery.

The doctor who proceeded with the surgery was the very one who had cooperated with Jiang Zhe to perform Xia Enci’s surgery.

The doctor was extremely surprised; Tang Xinru’s broken leg, whether the location, the nature of the wounds, the state of the fractured bone, or even the condition of the shattered bone fragments, was identical to Xia Enci’s injuries.

The doctor examined them carefully, thinking it was unbelievable; how could the injuries be so coincidental? It made him question whether the surgery he had just performed on Xia Enci was nothing but a dream.

Early the next day, the school arranged for teachers with higher positions to come and persuade Xia Enci, with the same talking points as Teacher Zhang’s.

On one hand, the school didn’t want the matter to escalate and tarnish the school’s reputation, and on the other hand, they also valued their talents and didn’t want either Tang Xinru or Xia Enci to face a crisis.
