Chapter 348: The Cawing Woman. Checking The Footage

Once Wang Ba’s mother heard the request of checking the CCTV, her relatively slim body shook. To be honest, she did not know if it was her son or Yun Zhu who instigated the fight.

She had just arrived at school and stomped to Miss Lu asking for an apology to his son from Yun Zhu once she listened to what his son told her.

Initially, Miss Lu had actually reprimanded Yun Zhu in front of the class for what happened between the two boys. Who would know that Wang Ba escalated it by telling his mother when school dismissed and had her stand up for him.

Nonetheless, everyone had forgotten that there were CCTV cameras in the classrooms.

There was no one who remembered about the surveillance cameras in the school as the era itself was not one where CCTV was common. Average families would not even install one.

Elementary schools were different. The kids were young and mischievous plus the teachers could never keep an eye on everyone all the time. It was an appropriate solution to install a surveillance camera in each classroom.

In addition, Wuning Yi Elementary School was the best elementary school in Longmen City. They could afford CCTV, so every corner of the school was monitored by a camera.

It was just that in 1998 where the internet was not yet popular and even mobile phones were a luxury, most people including the teachers had completely forgotten about the school being equipped with this system.

Miss Lu caught up promptly. Believing that Wang Ba did not make this up, she chorused after Yun Jian, “Let’s check out the footage then.”

It was not like Wang Ba was going to be in the wrong!

Who knew where Miss Lu’s confidence came from? The assurance in her tone when she agreed to Yun Jian’s request reflected a maturity of vast experience.

“Isn’t—isn’t this just a small fight between two kids? Why do we need to check the CCTV? Besides, weren’t the kids in class witnesses? He’s the one who pushed my son. How could there be a mistake?” Wang Ba’s mother argued again with a tremor.

At the end of it, she repeated continuously, “And it’s just sweet. I have a car at home. Why would I care about some sweets!”

“So you mean you dare not check the footage?” Yun Jian chuckled, already noting Wang Ba’s reaction.

The boy was squirming like he did something wrong.

Yun Jian held Yun Zhu’s hand. She was going to fight for justice for him today by hook or by crook.

“Oh, I know, you’re scared that people find out about your son snatching my brother’s sweets, so you dare not check the CCTV…” Yun Jian could see from the behavior of Wang Ba’s mother that she had a big ego, so she raised her voice so loud that people dozens of meters away could hear her clearly as well.

When Wang Ba’s mother saw people around them casting curious gazes toward them, it was true that she felt embarrassed.

Looking at Yun Jian, she kept her arrogance as she lifted her head up. “I’m afraid? Please! Let’s go then!”

With a squint, Yun Jian’s lips curled into a cold smirk.

After some time, the group came to the surveillance room of the school.

The teacher in charge of the room looked at all of them in confusion before sitting down in front of the computer and took a long time to work before securing the footage of Yun Zhu pushing Wang Ba angrily.

Wang Ba’s hand was even accidentally scratched by Yun Zhu.

When Wang Ba’s mother saw the clip, she was emboldened as she raised her finger at Yun Jian to continue hollering, “Look, it’s your brother who pushed my son! He…”

Ignoring them, Yun Jian asked the teacher to make space and took the seat in front of the computer. While everyone was still surprised at that, her fingers made two quick jabs on the keyboard.

Then, a scene rolled out on the monitor.

Wang Ba was seen walking toward Yun Zhu who was seated obediently. He pointed at the lollipop on Yun Zhu’s hand to gesture that he wanted it. Yun Zhu shook his head and Wang Ba pounced at him to push him harshly. When Yun Zhu stabilized himself and reacted, he shoved the boy back with equal irritation and accidentally scratched his hand.

Wang Ba’s mother who had been cawing quieted upon seeing the clip.
