Guan Tao and Teacher Li also understood Jian Ai’s intentions. A few days ago, Jian Ai fell into the pond and even took a few days off due to illness.

However, Teacher Li, who did not know the inside story, thought Jian Ai fell in by herself. But Guan Tao was different. She knew that Li Yunmei pushed her.

“Yes, Teacher. Jian Ai fell into the pond a few days ago. It was actually Li Yunmei who did it. She pushed Jian Ai into the pond,” Guan Tao reacted and quickly said. She looked anxious, as if afraid that Li Yunmei would run away.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Although Jian Ai was a Class Three student, all the teachers present had heard about her falling into the pond. They heard that a male teacher passed by and saved her in time. Later, she fell ill, so this matter passed quickly.

However, they did not expect another version to appear now.

“You… You’re talking nonsense… I…” Li Yunmei panicked. She wanted to say that she did not do it, but she had already suffered from the surveillance camera once. If she pulled out the surveillance video later, she would be slapped in the face again.

Unfortunately, Li Yunmei still did not realize that her pushing Jian Ai into the pond was completely different from what had happened yesterday afternoon.

“Whether Guan Tao is speaking nonsense or not, we’ll know once we see the surveillance video.” Jian Ai’s expression was cold. She initially didn’t want to pursue this matter anymore. After all, it had been so many days since the incident happened, and there was no evidence, so there was no point in pursuing it. However, she didn’t expect that she would accidentally discover six surveillance cameras, and one of them was able to capture the pond. A plan immediately formed in her mind. Since some people were rich and unkind, then don’t blame her for trying to gain something without risking anything.

According to the time Jian Ai provided, the security chief pulled up the surveillance footage of the pond. In the footage, Jian Ai looked very depressed after discovering that Lin Yi had written the love letter to her because of a bet. As such, she walked to the stone bench by the pond and sat there in a daze. After a while, she saw Li Yunmei walk aggressively to Jian Ai. As she spoke, she poked Jian Ai’s head with her finger. Although no one could hear what Li Yunmei said, they could tell from her expression in the video that it was not something good.

Jian Ai kept her head down and looked very afraid of Li Yunmei. She was being poked on the head as she retreated. She was getting closer to the pond. Beside Jian Ai was a public sign, which clearly said that the water in the pond was three meters deep. Students are not to approach!

The teachers watching the scene knew that Jian Ai had fallen into the water, but they could not help but take a deep breath. Their hearts tightened. Then, Li Yunmei’s action of poking her head changed. She pushed Jian Ai’s shoulders with both hands. Jian Ai was caught off guard and fell backward into the pond.

It was not the end. Facing Jian Ai, who was struggling in the pond, Li Yunmei did not panic or shout for help. Instead, she stood on the shore and laughed while cursing for a while. In the end, she walked away calmly.

When they saw this, all the teachers’ expressions turned exceptionally grave. Even the two police officers had serious expressions on their faces. It was as if they didn’t expect a fourteen-year-old high school student to be so cold and indifferent in the face of a classmate’s death struggle. It was simply chilling.

It was also the first time Jian Ai had seen the situation so directly. In the eyes of outsiders, the result might be that she was saved in time and fell ill. But Jian Ai knew very well that only by dying would she be reborn.

Therefore, in this incident, she actually drowned to death.
