“That’s right,” someone immediately chimed in. “Liu Manman, you can’t scheme like that. It’s one thing if you want to scheme against Jiang Chunxi, but why drag the whole class into lying to you?”

"Liu Manman," it was Jiang Chunxi's voice, "Stop changing the subject. Didn't we say we were going to the police station? Why are you bringing up this nonsense? Do you think that by changing the subject, I'll give up on going to the police station with you?"

"Let me tell you, stop dreaming. I'm going to the police station with you today, no matter what. If I don't get the money I borrowed from you back, then I, Jiang Chunxi, will be the one who gets ripped off. I lent you money and didn't even get a word in return. Instead, you've smeared me with dirty water."

"What are you all doing?" Just then, Ms. Cheng, Jiang Chunxi's Chinese teacher, walked into the school gate. "It's so late, why aren't you going into the classroom? What are you all doing here?"

"Don't think that just because you're about to get your graduation certificate you don't have to go to class anymore. Get in the classroom right now."

"Teacher Cheng, it's not that we don't want to go into the classroom, it's just that Liu Manman is really too awful." As she spoke, Jiang Chunxi tearfully recounted the incident.

“Teacher Cheng, Jiang Chunxi is lying,” Liu Manman said anxiously. “I never borrowed money from her. The IOU in her bag is fake.”

Here's the thing: how did Liu Manman fall out with Jiang Chunxi? Didn't she still want to use Jiang Chunxi as a blood bank?

No matter what, Liu Manman is just a teenage girl. Even if she has a deep mind, it is difficult for her to remain rational in this situation, so she lost her composure.

At this moment, all she wanted to do was quickly clarify that she hadn't borrowed any money from Jiang Chunxi and prove that the IOUs in Jiang Chunxi's bag were fake. She had to prove her innocence no matter what, otherwise her reputation at school would be ruined.

That's just how people like Liu Manman are! Even though she borrowed money from Jiang Chunxi, once the money was in her pocket, it truly became her own. She doesn't acknowledge that Jiang Chunxi lent her the money.

Moreover, since she treated Jiang Chunxi like a blood bank, Jiang Chunxi's money was hers, so how could it be said to be a loan? How could taking her own money be considered a loan?

In short, Liu Manman, being such a villain, has her own set of thought processes and logic.

“Teacher Cheng,” Jiang Chunxi took out the IOU from her bag and handed it to Teacher Cheng, “Take a good look and see if this is Liu Manman’s handwriting.”

Teacher Cheng carefully examined each IOU before looking at Liu Manman with displeasure: "Liu Manman, this is indeed your handwriting. How could you do this? It's one thing to borrow money from classmates and not pay it back, but you even have to accuse Jiang Chunxi of forging the IOUs you wrote yourself."

"Also, how could you, a student, borrow so much money from your classmates? Let me tell you! This is a very serious matter. You'd better call your parents to the school, otherwise..."

“Impossible,” Liu Manman snatched the IOUs from Teacher Cheng’s hand and looked at them one by one, her face growing paler with each reading. “These weren’t written by me at all. I never borrowed money from Jiang Chunxi, so why would I write so many IOUs for her?”

“Jiang Chunxi,” Liu Manman said angrily, “this must be a forgery by you imitating my handwriting. We’ve been deskmates for so many years, it’s too easy for you to imitate my handwriting.”

"Let me tell you, I originally wanted to save you some face and not make a scene at the police station, but now it seems we really have no choice but to go to the police station."

Because she was absolutely certain that she hadn't written an IOU to Jiang Chunxi, Liu Manman had calmed down and was now quite confident about going to the police station.

This made some of the surrounding classmates murmur among themselves, thinking that Liu Manman didn't seem to be lying! Otherwise, why wouldn't she be afraid of going to the police station?

"Go ahead, do you think I'm afraid of you?" Jiang Chunxi sneered. "A fake is a fake. No matter how well the handwriting is imitated, the police can still determine whether the IOUs you have are forged by me."

"Liu Manman, I know what you're up to. Aren't you just trying to turn the tables on me? As long as you insist that I forged your handwriting to write these IOUs, the police won't be able to determine the authenticity of these handwritings."

"Hehe! That's hilarious. What do you take the public servants of the Public Security Bureau for? If they could be so easily fooled by you, wouldn't that be a huge insult to the sacred title of public servant?"

"So that's how it is!" a classmate exclaimed. "So that's what Liu Manman was planning! No wonder she wasn't afraid of going to the police station and was so confident!"

“That’s right,” a classmate chimed in. “But Liu Manman’s scheming is terrifying! Look at how she plans everything so meticulously. No wonder she didn’t take the IOU she wrote to Jiang Chunxi seriously at all.”

"........."

"........."

"Alright, everyone quiet down," Teacher Cheng said with a frown. "Get out of here and go back to your classrooms."

Since Teacher Cheng had spoken, the students who were watching had no choice but to disperse, leaving only Jiang Chunxi and Liu Manman behind.

"Are you sure you want to go to the police station?" Teacher Cheng said, looking directly at Liu Manman. "Liu Manman, you'd better think this through. If this really escalates to the police station, then..."

“Teacher Cheng, I’ve made up my mind,” Liu Manman said angrily to Jiang Chunxi. “I believe the police can make the right judgment about who is lying. Jiang Chunxi is dreaming if she thinks she can get something for nothing.”

That's right, Liu Manman turned the tables and accused Jiang Chunxi of trying to extort money from them.

“Teacher Cheng, I’ve made up my mind,” Jiang Chunxi said. “You’ve seen Liu Manman’s attitude. She’s not only trying to renege on her debt, but she’s also trying to frame me. I can give up the few dozen yuan I lent out, but I can’t let Liu Manman smear me and let her shameless behavior succeed.”

"So I really have to go to the police station. I don't believe that once I get there, the police officers won't give me justice."

“Alright, since you’re all going to the police station, I’ll go with you,” Teacher Cheng said. “You wait here while I talk to the principal and I’ll go with you to the police station.”

After saying that, Teacher Cheng started walking away.

"Liu Manman, give me the IOUs you have," Jiang Chunxi said coldly to Liu Manman. "Are you holding onto these IOUs because you're planning to swallow them and cover your tracks?"
