Chapter 23 - Counterattack

"Okay." Tang Shu nodded. "I'll listen to you."

She reached up and quickly grabbed He Wei by the collar, tossing the spider inside.

"Ah!" He Wei screamed and shook his shirt. The furry touch made his back turn cold. Even his lips turned purple. He looked at Tang Shu as if he was looking at a monster. "Take it out quickly, Tang Shu. I'm warning you, take it out!"

"Didn't you put it in?" Tang Shu sat down on Tang Yuan's limited-edition backpack.

Although Tang Yuan's heart was bleeding, she did not dare to retort. The scene of Tang Shu holding the spider just now shocked her. Tang Yuan could only tremble and could not say a word.

"It wasn't me! It really wasn't me!" The spider in his shirt was crawling all over him with glee, and he was rigid, afraid to move.

At this moment, he could not care less about his face and begged Tang Shu for mercy. "I was wrong. Take it out quickly. It's really not me! I beg you."

Tang Shu sat there watching the show indifferently. Seeing that she did not react, He Wei could only turn his gaze to Tang Yuan. "Yuan Yuan, quickly help me. I… I can't take it anymore. Save me!"

The spider had already climbed onto his back. His entire body went limp. Seeing that the spider was still eager to climb up, He Wei feel like dying. At this time, Tang Yuan was his life-saving straw. She would not leave him alone. She would definitely save him!

"I… I don't want to!" Tang Yuan screamed in horror and dodged backward, hiding behind the podium.

"Yuan Yuan?" At this moment, He Wei felt like the sky had collapsed. No matter how he called her, Tang Yuan decided to hide behind the podium and ignore him.

"Let me take it out for you," Tang Shu reminded him kindly, "But you have to tell me where this spider came from."

He Wei's eyes widened like a sinner who had been sentenced to death. He suddenly found an opportunity to escape his current predicament and replied hurriedly, "It's Sung Wen! He got it and placed it in the drawer!"

"Oh, so it's him!" Lin Xiang arrived late and only saw them tampering with Tang Shu's chair. She did not see them hiding such a big "treasure" in Tang Shu's drawer.

Hence, after learning the truth, Lin Xiang could not care less about being afraid. She volunteered. "I'll go get him."

Sung Wen…

Hearing this name, Tang Shu's eyes turned cold. An extremely cold snowstorm brewed in her heart.

The cold words of the book were coming back to her like an open scroll: In the early hours of June 9, a body of a student was found beside the road at Zhong Gong University. The body was identified by relatives and identified as Lin Xiang, a student at the university. When the body was found, it was naked and bruised. There were signs of multiple assaults on her private parts. The wound was badly lacerated, and DNA identified twelve suspects. 

However, this major criminal case that had a huge impact could only be left unsettled. The reason was that the mastermind behind this case, Sung Wen, had a powerful background. He had committed a heinous crime, but no one dared to stand up for the dead. Sung Wen only treated Lin Xiang like this because she was Tang Shu's only friend.

Tang Shu sneered in her heart. Tang Shu liked Lin Xiang's cute baby face. She had always treated the people she liked well. She would not let Sung Wen, Tang Yuan, He Wei, and the group of people who had participated in bullying Lin Xiang off!

Soon, footsteps came from outside the door. The students who were watching the commotion surrounded the door of the class.

A boy in a pure white short-sleeved shirt with casual brown pants walked in with a cigarette in his mouth. He frowned at the pale He Wei, then looked at Tang Yuan on the podium in a daze. His shifty eyes swept over her long legs.

Then, he turned his gaze to Tang Shu impatiently and said in a rude tone, "Why are you calling me? I placed the spider in your drawer. What can you do to me?"

Tang Shu reached into He Wei's clothes and grabbed the long-haired spider tightly.

He Wei slumped to the ground as if he had been granted amnesty. He panted heavily, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

Sung Wen stared at Tang Shu, dumbfounded. He wished he could stare a hole in her hand that was touching the spider. What kind of woman was this? She was not even afraid of spiders?

Tang Shu sneered and stared at his open mouth. Under everyone's incredulous gazes, she raised her hand and stuffed the palm-sized spider into Sung Wen's mouth.
