The Green Tea Omega Has Turned Bad - Chapter 44.1
Within less than ten minutes, the grade-level broadcast rang out.
Director Xu sternly criticized Xu Jie and his group, recording a major demerit against them. Then, the tone shifted as he began to address the matter of the anonymous submission.
“I do not know who the student behind this submission is, but I hope they will take the initiative to come forward and confess; I can handle it with leniency,” Director Xu’s voice was cold and meaningful. “If the school has to find out on its own, it will not be a small matter.”
Sitting in her seat, He Xiaoyu’s face turned deathly pale.
How did Director Xu know about this? Could it be that Yan Xia snitched again?!
The more she thought about it, the more terrified she became. She clenched her teeth: Did Yan Xia already discover that I was the one who sent the submission?
The sun was shining brightly outside the window, yet He Xiaoyu felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, trembling uncontrollably.
Her seatmate noticed her abnormality and whispered, “Xiaoyu, what’s wrong?”
She called out several times, but He Xiaoyu ignored her, staring blankly into space with hollow eyes.
The news of Yan Xia fighting several people quickly reached Class A through eyewitnesses.
“I saw her knock Lin Long silly with just one punch,” the person said emphatically, gesturing vividly. “That strength, those movements… Lin Long almost couldn’t stand up. Tsk tsk, it was truly too handsome!”
“Holy crap? Isn’t she an Omega! How can an Omega beat an Alpha?”
“It’s not like powerful Omegas don’t exist. Maybe Yan Xia was just born with great strength…”
The person’s eyes sparkled: “The point is she did a 1v4! One against four! Two Betas and two Alphas were beaten so badly their own mothers wouldn’t recognize them!”
Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat. They looked at each other, seeing fear in one another’s eyes.
“Why is she so good at fighting?!”
“Then, when we provoked her this morning, doesn’t that mean…”
Someone on the school forum also quickly started a thread: [SOS! Our school’s top-tier celebrity Yan Xia got into a fight!! Is no one talking about this?!]
0L: It happened just this morning, right in front of the Sophomore office… she’s way too daring, lol.
1L: ??? Isn’t Yan Xia an Omega? Wouldn’t she get beaten to the ground?
2L: Upstairs, you got it backwards. The other four were the ones beaten to the ground.
3L: I’m scared, I don’t want to laugh anymore…
4L: Huh? One Omega fighting four? Are you kidding me?
5L: I was there. It was indeed Yan Xia solo-carrying. The other four were beaten into pig heads… later the School Beauty went to save the day.
10L: I was there. That grandson Lin Long actually used a utility knife to stab someone; that was so underhanded, gross. Luckily the School Beauty captured him on the spot.
12L: The School Beauty was there too? She helped out during the cheating scandal last time as well, right? I ship it, I ship it!
13L: People are actually shipping this CP??
14L: Why not? Childhood friends, a perfect pair, acting like an old married couple, a feast for the eyes… I’m dying of sweetness…
15L: I was also there. My god! Can I say I was smitten by how handsome Yan Xia was? My heart actually fluttered!
24L: I want to say it too, that kind of contrast is amazing. Usually a soft and weak girl, but suddenly rolling up her sleeves to start swinging… can Yan Xia accept an O-O relationship? Because I’m down (covers face).
37L: ??? What is wrong with you all? This morning you called her a scumbag girl, and now you’re into her? You change like the wind!
49L: …Mainly with her combat power, those looks, and being a top student, it’s hard not to fall in love.
50L: As expected, everyone on this forum is obsessed with top-tier players.
83L: Just here for the drama. Was that anonymous submission just broadcasted to the whole school? Hee hee, someone is in trouble now.
92L: There was no solid evidence for that submission anyway; it was all just talk. No way, right? No one actually believed it, right?
100L: I’m Yan Xia’s classmate. That submission was pure nonsense. Yan Xia is clearly very nice. A bunch of sour people just slander her behind her back every day.
105L: Oho, so in less than a day, Yan Xia’s reputation is about to flip?
121L: Because she didn’t actually do anything… they say her reputation is bad, but so far there hasn’t been a single piece of evidence, just a bunch of messy rumors.
Lu Yixing closed the school forum with satisfaction and said to Yan Xia beside her, “You have fangirls now.”
Yan Xia blinked: “I just got into a fight. Master Lu, what happened?”
“It’s just because you were so handsome when you fought.” Lu Yixing looked her up and down, clicking her tongue. “Who knew that beneath your frail appearance, you could fight better than anyone?”
Yan Xia smiled modestly: “Just good luck.”
“Do you have any clues about the anonymous submission?” Lu Yixing asked. “Will she come forward to confess?”
The conversation from the back row drifted into He Xiaoyu’s ears. She stiffened her spine and quietly leaned her body back against the chair.
She heard Yan Xia let out a soft laugh: “I already know who the other party is.”
He Xiaoyu’s pupils constricted: As expected…
But how did she find out it was me?!
Before she could think further, Lu Yixing cried out in surprise, “You know? Who is it!”
He Xiaoyu immediately pricked up her ears.
“I can’t say for now; I don’t want to alert the target,” Yan Xia said indifferently. “I will give her one day. If she goes to the teacher to confess, I’ll leave it to the school to handle leniently. If she doesn’t, I’ll go straight to the police.”
Lu Yixing: “Call the police…?”
He Xiaoyu’s whole body froze, her heart pounding like a drum.
Yan Xia pointed to the information she had just looked up on her phone and narrowed her eyes with a smile: “The criminal law stipulates that if an online rumor is forwarded 500 times publicly insulting others or fabricating facts to defame them by violent or other methods if the circumstances are serious, it constitutes the crime of insult or defamation.”
“That anonymous submission just broke 1,200 likes and 782 shares. It’s already enough to meet the standard for the crime of defamation.”
Lu Yixing realized the situation and said with a wicked smile, “Oh right… and we are all over sixteen years old, so we can be held criminally responsible.”
“Exactly. Although those over eighteen receive lighter punishment, spending a year or two in a juvenile detention center shouldn’t be a problem.” Yan Xia rested her cheek on her hand, smiling as she said, “I can also ask my mom to use her connections to make sure she stays in there for a few more years.”
The two of them discussed back and forth, scaring He Xiaoyu in front of them so much that her soul nearly left her body. She was like a bowstring pulled to its limit, ready to snap at any moment.
She didn’t want to go to prison!
Her family was just an ordinary one; how could they compete with the wealthy Yan family? If she spent a few years in prison, her life would be ruined…
Yan Xia glanced forward and said with an ambiguous tone, “Xiaoyu, you’re leaning so close. Do you want to join our discussion?”
He Xiaoyu was already under extreme mental tension. She suddenly jumped up from her seat, her face covered in sweat and pale as a ghost. She reflexively screamed, “I didn’t mean it! I don’t want to go to prison—!”
With that, she stumbled out of the classroom.
The entire class watched in shock as she ran away.
Lu Yixing was speechless: “…You knew it was her all along?”
Yan Xia raised an eyebrow: “I didn’t know.”
Lu Yixing: “Ha?”
Yan Xia shrugged: “I just wanted to bluff and see if the person was sitting nearby. I didn’t expect to catch them so easily.”
“Then… what do you plan to do now?”
Yan Xia said indifferently, “Tell the teacher, then call the police.”
Lu Yixing said in surprise, “Didn’t you say that if she confessed, it would be handled by the school?”
“I was playing her.” Yan Xia curled her lips, but there was no mirth in her eyes. “I don’t care who it is; if you do something wrong, you must be punished. This time will serve as a warning to others, so that no one will just post a random submission to frame me in the future.”
Lu Yixing recoiled tactically, seeing her in a new light: “Te… terrifying.”
A moment later, several teachers found a disheveled He Xiaoyu behind the small garden.
He Xiaoyu’s parents also rushed to the school, begging for Yan Xia’s forgiveness.
After hearing the story, Father He slapped He Xiaoyu hard across the face, his expression one of failing to meet expectations: “I work so hard to pay for your education, and this is how you treat me? What kind of books are you even reading?!”
“Student, please just give her another chance!” Mother He said with tears in her eyes. “She’s only a teenager. If she goes in, it’s all over for her…”
He Xiaoyu stood behind them, pale and lifeless, the red handprint on her face vivid.
Yan Xia looked at her, the corners of her mouth turning up as she shook her head.
“I give her a chance, but who gives me a chance?” she said calmly. “He Xiaoyu incited other students to frame and insult me at will. Wouldn’t the massive school violence she triggered have ruined my life?”
Father and Mother He were honest people and were left speechless and ashamed by her words.
“Don’t worry, I won’t let you stay in there for too long.” Yan Xia dialed the police station.
The smile on her face was very sweet, yet it gave people a bone-chilling feeling. “I was only scaring you earlier. Once you go in, remember to turn over a new leaf and become a new person.”
The police car came whistling and soon arrived at the school.
Yan Xia said to the officer who got out, “Besides this student defaming me online, there is another student who used a knife against me during a fight.”
The police officer nodded, recording the whole process, and praised her, “You did very well. When you are harmed, you must use legal weapons to protect yourself.”
Soon, several officers entered the classroom and took Lin Long and He Xiaoyu out for a session of ideological education.
After the education, the two of them sat dejectedly in the police car.
Director Xu, standing by, felt a complex mix of emotions and said sorrowfully, “You two must listen well and reform yourselves.”
Before leaving, He Xiaoyu suddenly looked out of the car window, her bloodless lips trembling.
She whispered, “I’m sorry, Yan Xia.”
