Chapter 40 - The Red Box.

In the infirmary, everyone seemed tense. They looked at XiangXiang who was unconscious lying on the bed and the red box on the table alternately.

"What do you think is inside this box?"

YuanYuan asked, haunted by curiosity. The others just shook their heads. This was the first time they had seen such an incident. There had never been a bullying case at their school before.

"Hmmm...It's wet and stinks. hmmm..."

LinLin tried to think of any possibilities. But his brain failed because of the smell that was really bothering his nose.

"Tch...I don't know. My brain is really failing to function with the stench from this box."

LinLin said as he scratched his head roughly. His previously neat hair had turned into a bird's nest.

"It's okay. No need to think too much. We'll find out later."

Yaya said while fixing LinLin's hair.

"Seeing how XiangXiang reacted, I don't think this is the first time."

Mr Neo gave his speculation. This was the second time XiangXiang had been taken to the infirmary. The first time his heart almost failed due to severe depression. And he had to be rushed to the hospital. He was thankful that this time he only fainted from fear. And it hadn't triggered his depression.

"Do you know anyone who would be likely to do something like this?"

Mr. Neo asked. Everyone shook their heads after a long pause. In their minds, there was only one person, Fanfan. But they didn't have any evidence so they just kept quiet about it.

"Haaa... let's open this box and see what's inside. Maybe it's not as bad as we all imagine."

Mr. Ruirui said. He tried to open the box but was stopped by Mr. Neo.

"Wear this"

Mr. Neo handed the gloves to Mr. Ruirui.

"Thanks."

Mr. Ruirui said with a sweet smile. Mr. Neo nodded and also smiled sweetly.

"No!"

Yaya suddenly screamed. All eyes were on him in shock.

"What now!?"

Mr. Ruirui asked dissatisfiedly. Sometimes his little brother could be too adorable and annoying at the same time. Makes you want to bully him.

"What if there's a bomb in there?"

Yaya said anxiously.

"Urghhhh..."

YuanYuan gently slapped Yaya's forehead. He couldn't believe he still had the heart to joke at this critical moment.

"If there was a bomb in there, LinLin and I would be dead now."

YuanYuan say annoyingly. Sometimes Yaya could give him some nerve and trigger his anger. But he also know that Yaya just want to relax the tensed around them. And after he smacked Yaya forehead, YuanYuan hug him gently.

Yaya shrugged in embarrassment. Mr. Ruirui could only shake his head at his younger brother's behavior while using a pair of gloves to open the red box.

All eyes were on the red box. Its surface was damp and smelly. YuanYuan and Mr. Neo had to wash their hands with lots of soap to get rid of the smell. Meanwhile, WenWen had to work hard to clean XiangXiang's hands of the unpleasant smell. The smell was very musty and fishy. No one knew which crazy person would dare to pull such a prank.

"Are you all ready?"

Mr. Ruirui asked. Everyone nodded. Yaya and LinLin hugged YuanYuan's hand tightly. WenWen tightly held XiangXiang's hand who was still unconscious. Mr. Neo held Mr. Ruirui's shoulder. Giving him all the strength to open the red box. Everyone's heart beat fast. It felt as if inside the red box was really a bomb that would destroy the entire universe.

After much drama, they managed to open the red box in the end. Everyone's eyes widened and they drops their jaw after they saw what was inside the mysterious red box. The contents inside, really makes everyone feel nauseous. And it is completely beyond the logic of sane people. A moist and a little sticky like glue with smell like rotten fish underwear with blood stains on it. There was also a note written in blood.

"Go die, you bitch! Don't stain everyone with your flirty hands."

Everyone looked at each other after they finished reading the bloody note.

"This is really crazy..."

YuanYuan said while leaning back in his chair with a feeling of disappointment. What mistake did his friend make that someone would dare to threaten him like that. "Fanfan!!!! If this is really your doing, I will not let you go." YuanYuan swore in his heart. His eyes glanced at WenWen who did not leave XiangXiang for even a second.

WenWen pursed his lips to hold back his mixed feelings as he stared at XiangXiang's innocent face. "Whoever makes you suffer, I will repay them double. XiangXiang, I will always protect you even if my life is at stake." WenWen's make a promise in his heart while his fingers caressed XiangXiang's fingers lovingly.

Mr. Ruirui took a picture and sent it to Jun and Su Ruan. Jun needed to know what happened to his little brother. And for Su Ruan, he was a source of hope.

Although they have a suspect, they have no evidence to expose the suspect and they also cannot let this matter go slip away. Su Ruan has many ways to solve problems. He can use the front door or the back door to solve problems without hesitation. In Su Ruan's life, he is the law. Just like his sister Mei Lin. Only JiaJia is different from the three siblings. The old people once said that in a bunch of bananas, there must be one banana that is different from the others.

"Now we wait until Jun and Su Ruan come."

Mr. Ruirui said to ease the tension in the room. This problem needs to be resolved as soon as possible. This is about XiangXiang's safety. They can't take this lightly. Who can guarantee that this case will end with just XiangXiang? There may be many more victims in the future if the culprits is not caught as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, in another place, the three mafia-like siblings with Wu Ya and XinXin were gathering and discussing about the future when Su Ruan received a message from Mr. Ruirui. They quickly got up and ran to the car to go to school.

Elsewhere, Jun quickly got up from his chair, grabbed his jacket and ran out of his office as soon as he received a message from Mr. Ruirui. With a pounding heart, Jun prayed and begged the God to protect his only treasure.
