Chapter 228-229

Yun Xi’s countenance looked extremely cold. Curling her lips mockingly, she had a certain self-righteousness in her aloof expression. “Obviously, I am the innocent one here. The surveillance cameras have captured all your actions, so no matter what excuses you try to make, it won’t work.” Liang Xinyi glared at her, but Han Wanling, who hadn’t spoken yet, walked over. Han Wanling looked at Yun Xi, sneered sarcastically, then raised her chin and put on a haughty attitude. “You say you are innocent, but who knows whether or not you really are. Surveillance cameras have blind spots. If you were standing in a surveillance blind spot, you might not have been captured by those surveillance cameras. Maybe your class leader followed you here and your theft was exposed, so you pushed her into the classroom and ran away... You stole many things and then blackmailed your cousin into giving them away. Naturally, you wouldn’t be seen in the surveillance footage, which only captured your accomplices. Speaking of which, aren’t you the mastermind behind the scenes?” 　 　 Yun Xi did not deny anything and nodded calmly. “Even if I had been captured by the surveillance camera, what I just said still stands.” Yun Xi smiled. She then turned to look at the principal and the police officer before finally, her gaze fell on the arrogant Han Wanling. “If I was the mastermind behind the scenes, I really want to know, what did I do to get Liang Xinyi to sacrifice herself for the password? Don’t you see how much she wishes to kill me now? Would she have been so obedient? If I am the mastermind behind everything, where is the evidence?” “If you want evidence, the police will find it! You probably won’t be able to distance yourself from what happened today.” Yun Xi shrugged and looked unintimidated. At this moment, Officer Xiao Tang’s cell phone rang. He answered the phone and hung up after hearing a few sentences. “Boss, the gangster has been caught. He was right downstairs.” Han Wanling raised her eyebrows and looked at Yun Xi triumphantly. “Since he’s been caught, let’s take all of them back to the police station for an interrogation.” Officer Xiao Tang stood up and said with a blank expression, “Miss Han, the person was caught in your car.” “What?” Han Wanling’s face immediately sank. “What do you mean?” “Just now, our people found the punk in your car and retrieved the stolen goods.” “You... you mean he broke into my car to steal something?” 　 　 Officer Xiao Tang chuckled lightly, but he didn’t answer her question. “We won’t know whether or not that’s the case until we go downstairs.” Everyone walked downstairs. As they got to the corner of the stairs, Yun Xi raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Henglin, who was walking at the end of the line of people, right in front of her. He hadn’t said a word from the beginning to end of this entire episode. What surprised her even more was that he hadn’t taken the slightest opportunity to put a nail in her coffin. It was inexplicable! She knew how he really was, and she really thought he would’ve thrown her under the bus and made sure she couldn’t get back up. A silent Jiang Henglin made her feel a little apprehensive. If he was observing her in order to familiarize himself with his enemy so he could wait for a moment of weakness, then she would really have to keep her guard up. As the saying went, “I’m not scared that you’re stupid, but that you’re too smart.” In the parking lot outside the academic building, several police officers were gathered around a Porsche. Xiang Yuanjiu, who had been sitting in the passenger seat, saw the group of people coming down and pushed open the door to get out of the car. As soon as he climbed out, he was subdued by the police. He was still wearing the backpack that had been given to him by Liang Xinyi. “Miss Han, I got everything you told me to steal. It’s all here.” 　 　 Xiang Yuanjiu freed himself from the police, put the backpack in the front of the car, and took out one of the laptops inside. “Why are there so many police officers here? Why are you being so treacherous? We agreed that I would steal these things for you, and you would send me whatever money you owe me.” “What nonsense are you talking about?” Xiang Yuanjiu being in her car had already baffled Han Wanling. Upon hearing what he’d just said, she could no longer remain calm, and she felt lava-like rage boiling inside her. Did this idiot know what he was doing? She’d told him to run as soon as he got the stuff, but who would’ve thought that he would choose to take off in her car? Instead of doing what he was supposed to, he had created a lot of trouble for her. .................................... ................... #Chapter 229 “I’m not talking nonsense. You gave me 30,000 yuan to approach this girl, and you told me to steal the computers you had donated and pin the blame on her. You said that when the job was finished, you would send me the balance of the 20,000 yuan you owed me for the job.” 　 　 “You’re talking bullsh*t! Who are you anyway? How can you utter such shameless nonsense after stealing this stuff?” 　 　 “I’m not talking nonsense, I say. Everything you wanted is here. Miss Han, you have to keep your word. Even if you don’t want to pay me the rest of the money that you promised, why did you need to call the police to arrest me? Are all you rich people this deceitful?” 　 　 “I have no idea what you’re talking about. Shut up!” 　 　 Upon being exposed like this, Han Wanling felt anxious and infuriated. “If you continue to utter such nonsense, I will sue you for slander! Being convicted of slander as well as theft, you will rot in prison.” Xiang Yuanjiu didn’t pay any attention to her threats, and he laughed as he nonchalantly leaned against the car door. Looking at Han Wanling with narrowed eyes, he showed unconcealed disdain and contempt on his face. “Do you think I’m afraid of you?” As he said that, he took out a voice recorder from his pocket, pressed the button, and the voice recorder started playing a previously recorded phone conversation. “When you arrive at Jing High School tomorrow, someone will give you the stolen laptops. You only need to get them out of the school. If you are caught, you will pin all the blame on that wretched girl Yun Xi.” 　 　 “How did this girl offend you and why do you want to ruin her so much? If she is convicted, she will be sentenced to jail time.” 　 　 “I don’t care. I actually want her to go to jail.” “Then the remaining money...” 　 　 “After the job is done, I will send the remaining money that I owe you to your bank account...” 　 　 Their surroundings were very quiet, and the voice on the recorder was clearly identifiable. Han Wanling trembled with anger as she listened to the recorded phone conversation. 　 　 Han Wanling’s friends who had come with her finally understood what was going on, and they looked at Han Wanling with contempt. 　 　 “How could she conspire so ruthlessly against someone who’s just a student? What sort of grudge does she have against her?” 　 　 “It’s no wonder that we were invited here. She dragged us here as props to watch her charade.” 　 　 “...” 　 　 With the friends she had brought with her gossiping about her now, Han Wanling’s face turned ugly, and she glared at Yun Xi viciously as her fingernails dug into her own flesh. 　 　 Turning her head abruptly, she glared at her group of friends coldly, gritted her teeth, and roared, “All of you shut up!” 　 Her group of friends snickered contemptuously and didn’t pay her any mind. 　 　 With a self-righteous expression in her eyes, Yun Xi stepped forward and gazed at Han Wanling indifferently. 　 　 “Han Wanling, all I ever did was get in the way of your plan to seduce Young Marshal Mu, and you have schemed against me like this. Don’t you think you’re being a little too cruel?” 　 　 Upon hearing this, Han Wanling’s eyes shot daggers at Yun Xi and spat out, “B*tch! What are you talking about?” 　 　 This matter had always been a secret. Outsiders didn’t know why Mu Feichi was dead set against the Han family. Only she knew the reason. 　 　 Sure enough, among the friends she had brought with her, several of Mu Feichi’s admirers started to jeer. 　 　 “No wonder Young Marshal Mu is so hostile toward the Han family. It turns out that someone was boldly trying to seduce Young Marshal Mu.” 　 　 “Doesn’t she know her status? Does she think anyone can approach Young Marshal Mu? How shameless!” 　 　 Han Wanling’s forehead started to twitch. She was not only suffering extreme humiliation, but her plans had also gone down the drain. She was so exasperated that she wanted to tear Yun Xi to pieces. 　 　 With red, venomous eyes and gritted teeth, she spat out, “Little b*tch, you just wait!” Yun Xi shrugged and smiled innocently. “I have a clear conscience, and I’m not afraid of you.” 　 “Ms. Han, please remember from now on, if you don’t have money, don’t fake it. If donating these things was too financially stressful for you, then don’t overexert yourself by pretending to donate them and having someone steal them back just to keep up appearances. Even if you don’t feel ashamed, I feel ashamed for you.” Xiang Yuanjiu put away his recording device and gazed at Han Wanling contemptuously as he made fun of her.
