"Oh, yes there is. Xie Jing suddenly came back last night, even though it was raining so heavily," the village chief said.
"Xie Jing, explain to us why you didn't stay in the dormitory last night and suddenly came home?" the dean questioned.
"My father fell sick last night! Cui Hua came to school to look for me! I came home to see my father!" Xie Jing explained.
Last night, after he went to the experimental field to take a look, he stayed out past the dormitory curfew. He had nowhere to go after that, so he went home. He did not expect Qiao Mei to be able to discover such details.
"In that case, tell me, what evidence do you have to prove that Qiao Mei sent these strawberry plants to your house late at night?" the principal asked.
Xie Jing and Cui Hua had nothing to say. They were already feeling guilty, so the more they tried to explain, the messier the situation became.
