“Whу should you bе аllowed tо searсh mу dеsk just bесаuse уou sаy so?”
“Are yоu a pоlicе оfficеr handling а cаse? Even the pоlice rеquire еvidence and a search warrant.”
“Yоu’re just flaрping уour lips аnd dеmаnding to sеаrсh my dеsk—I won’t aссерt it.”
How could Gu Аn’an pоssiblу аgreе so easilу?
If she did, wоuldn’t it mеаn thаt anуtime somеthing went missing in сlass, evеryonе wоuld comе sеаrсhing her desk? Did she havе nо dignity?
The more she rеfusеd, the more ехcitеd Zhаo Хi and Gu Wаnrоu beсame.
Zhao Xi stepped forward, her gaze sharp and aggressive as she stared at Gu An’an.
“All the classmates have agreed to let me search. Gu An’an, if you’re innocent, why won’t you let me?”
“Fine, I’m not a police officer, but the class fund was still in my locker before class ended. After morning exercises, it was gone.”
“We’ve searched everywhere in the classroom. If you won’t let me search now, it’s because the money is in your locker, isn’t it?”
Zhao Xi crossed her arms, looking at Gu An’an with smug satisfaction.
“You stole the class fund, so of course you’re afraid of me searching your desk.”
“You’re the thief, the one who stole the class fund.”
Boom!
As soon as the words were spoken, the classmates gathered around watching the commotion erupted, their gazes filled with certainty—Gu An’an was indeed the thief.
Some even spoke directly to Zhao Xi:
“Zhao Xi, why waste words on her? Just go through her locker and take out the class fund.”
“Exactly, what’s the point of arguing with a thief?”
“I can’t believe it. Our class actually has a thief who stole the class fund. If word gets out, I’ll lose all face.”
“Gu An’an is really… compared to Gu Wanrou, she’s far worse. Even now that she’s been recognized as a daughter of the Gu family, she still acts so disgracefully.”
“Right, right. Being in the same class as her is such bad luck.”
Hearing the overwhelming support behind them, Zhao Xi and Gu Wanrou instantly grew more arrogant.
Zhao Xi raised her chin, stepped forward, and shoved Gu An’an aside, reaching out to feel for the over twenty thousand yuan of class funds she had planted in the locker.
How could Gu An’an let her succeed so easily? She raised her hand and grabbed Zhao Xi’s wrist to stop her, her expression icy.
“I already said, you have no right to search my locker.”
“Hah, I think you’re just afraid to let me search because the class fund is in your locker.”
Zhao Xi shook off Gu An’an’s hand and, as Gu An’an tried to stop her again, quickly called on her classmates for help.
“Hold her back.”
“This thief who stole our class fund still has the nerve to argue.”
Two tall, burly students immediately stepped out from the crowd and blocked Gu An’an, preventing her from stopping Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi quickly reached into the locker, pretending to search for the class fund.
Seeing this, Gu An’an snorted coldly. After all, she had planted a surveillance camera in her locker in advance, so she had nothing to fear.
But she still had to put up a fight.
At this moment, Gu An’an pretended to be an ordinary student falsely accused of theft, forced to endure the humiliation of having her locker searched. She loudly challenged:
“Zhao Xi, you’re violating my privacy.”
“What if you don’t find the class fund in my locker?”
“If I didn’t steal it, what will you do?”
“Hah,” Zhao Xi, who had already found the class fund she had planted, felt reassured and retorted defiantly.
“If it wasn’t you who stole it, and I’m falsely accusing you, I’ll voluntarily withdraw from school.”
“But,” Zhao Xi said with a smug smile curling at the corner of his mouth, waving the class funds he had taken from Gu An’an’s locker, his gaze unwavering.
“You are the thief.”
“I found the class funds in your locker!”
