"I… "
Dai Jiaqi stood there isolated and helpless like an isolated island. The haze covered the sky, blocking out the last ray of light and tearing apart her disguise.
She couldn't justify her lie.
"I… "
Zhou's mother turned her head away, unable to bear to watch any further.
Dai Jiaqi bit her lip and looked at the others.
When people from the law firm met her gaze, they avoided it with disgust, and no one wanted to make eye contact with her.
Dai Jiaqi was stunned for a second, overwhelmed by the overwhelming shame and helplessness. She wanted to disappear immediately instead of being judged by everyone here.
At this time—
"If you just took the document bag, that's fine. But Michelle's food poisoning should also be related to you, right? You don't have to deny it in a hurry. The hotel has surveillance. We can confirm whether it was you who did it by checking the surveillance footage from this morning."
"!" Dai Jiaqi suddenly looked at the girl with a look as if he had seen a ghost.
The others looked at her in surprise.
Zhou's mother lost her voice and said, "Jiaqi, you..."
After being surprised and stunned, Old Mrs. Zhou closed her eyes again. She was so tired that she didn't want to talk anymore.
Father Zhou was also shocked. He held it in for a long time before he finally said, "Are you crazy?"
They couldn't figure out why Dai Jiaqi did this. Dai Jiaqi felt the world spinning in front of her. She barely managed to keep her feet and looked at the girl with tears in her eyes: "What do you want?"
"?" Qiao Nian didn't expect this moment. Her first reaction was to ask herself: "Huh? What do I want?"
Dai Jiaqi said without hesitation: "Yes, what do you want? I did it. But you don't know why I did it. I did it, what do you want to do?"
She acted like, "I'm just jealous that you did something that made you trip up, and now you want to use this as an excuse to bully me."
Qiao Nian felt extremely torn, and laughed out of anger: "Do you think what you did was just a small fight?"
"What else?" Dai Jiaqi held her neck tightly and said without giving in: "Don't you know why I'm targeting you? I just don't like you, is that wrong?"
From the initial sudden rise of flames in Qiao Nian's heart to the ignorant look in her eyes that seemed to think the matter was not a big deal until now, the fire burning in his heart suddenly disappeared without a trace, and was extinguished without even a wisp of smoke.
"You can feel whatever you want to feel."
Dai Jiaqi glared at him unconvincedly, as if to say, "I don't think I'm wrong."
Qiao Nian was too lazy to care what she thought, and only told her: "But what you did has crossed the bottom line of the law. The victim you poisoned has the right to pursue criminal responsibility against you, but you can rest assured that he will not pursue your responsibility here. These will wait until you return to China."
"What..." Criminal responsibility? Dai Jiaqi panicked, unable to maintain her bluffing expression, and frantically sought help.
But who dares to help her now
Even Zhou's mother felt dizzy after learning that Dai Jiaqi had poisoned Michelle. She couldn't believe it and didn't dare to speak for Dai Jiaqi anymore.
What she did was outrageous!
Even if there is a good reason, no one dares to let Dai Jiaqi go.
Dai Jiaqi panicked and found that no one was looking at her. She pinched her palms, her eyes flushed and she shouted excitedly: "You know why I did this! Qiao Nian, you are taking revenge for your personal gain!"
The glory of Tsinghua University and the magnanimity of not arguing with others are all lies.
