Chapter 240 – Blood Is Thicker Than Water (1)

Qin Fuzi was fuming with anger, glaring at Su Xinmei as he contemplated the destruction of the medicinal herbs in the glasshouse. In the beginning, he didn’t know what the headmaster and his party were trying to point out. Now he understood. These people were aiming at Lu Yaoyao.

“I saw it myself that the two of you were sneaking around in the medicine field. Headmaster, if you don’t believe me, there were even several medicine farmers in the medicine field at that time. Besides, Lu Yaoyao did not have the key anymore.
