The vice principal's gloomy face silenced the entire classroom.

There was no sound of turning pages or writing; all the students were too afraid to move, and it was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The vice principal had a stern face, and his voice was low and menacing.

"As you all probably know, the purpose of our visit is to address the incident where Yang Min's jade bracelet was stolen."

All the students looked at each other, waiting for the vice principal to announce the final results.

After surveying the sighs of dismay on everyone's faces, the vice-principal's brow furrowed even more deeply.

"The final fingerprint verification result is out."

All the students waited expectantly for the final result, but the presence of police officers created a serious atmosphere.

Every cell in Zhang Huihui's body tensed up. Her brain raced, trying to think of a solution. If they really found out about her, how would she explain herself?

After looking at the expectant eyes of all the students, the vice principal turned to look at the police.

"Let the police release the results!"

The vice-principal was heartbroken and disappointed by what had happened to the students. He shifted to the side, and Officer Chen, standing behind him, stepped forward, his stern face looking very serious.

"Who is Zhang Huihui!"

Zhang Huihui's head was spinning, and a cold sweat broke out on her back. She was so scared that she lost her hearing and ability to think. She had overestimated herself, and when they actually found her, she was so nervous that she didn't know what to do.

Officer Chen noticed that no one stood up. He glanced at everyone and continued asking.

"Who is Zhang Huihui? Please step forward!"

At this moment, Zhang Huihui seemed not to hear what the police said, and this behavior made her appear to everyone as nothing less than a thief.

At this moment, Yang Min was instantly unsettled. She never expected that the thief was her deskmate. Suddenly realizing that she was sitting next to such a person made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

Thinking about how good she had always been to her, how could she steal her jade bracelet and try to frame Wu Youyou? It was utterly despicable.

"Officer, this is Zhang Huihui!"

Yang Min pointed out Zhang Huihui without any mercy.

Zhang Huihui's eyes widened, and she turned to look at Yang Min in horror, as if to say, "How could you implicate me? You're my deskmate!"

Yang Min ignored Zhang Huihui's expression and sat in her seat with a displeased look, staring at Officer Chen and waiting for him to speak.

Following Yang Min's gaze, Officer Chen walked up to Zhang Huihui and looked at her.

"You are Zhang Huihui!"

When Zhang Huihui heard the police questioning her, she was so frightened that she quickly stood up and stammered as she spoke.

"I...I am...Zhang Huihui!"

The police officer grunted in response, glanced at the crowd, and continued,

"In the last jade bracelet theft incident, the police investigation revealed that the fingerprints on it belonged to two people: one was Yang Min's fingerprint, and the other was Zhang Huihui's fingerprint."

The scene erupted in chaos.

[Oh, it's Zhang Huihui!]

[I really didn't expect that she was the one who shouted the loudest before; she's really crying wolf!]

If Wu Youyou hadn't been smart enough to call the police quickly, she would probably have been convicted of theft. If we had a record of theft on our school records, our lives would be ruined.

......

Yang Min grew angrier the more she thought about it. If Zhang Huihui had successfully framed her, not only would she have lost a jade bracelet, but it would also have created a rift between the Yang family and the Wu Group, making it difficult for the Yang family to do business in the future.

After her father explained the seriousness of the matter to her, she became extremely frightened, which is why she took the initiative to befriend Wu Youyou. Yang Min glanced at Zhang Huihui with disgust before turning to look at the police.

"Officer, does this fingerprint prove that the thief is Zhang Huihui, and that she framed Wu Youyou?"

Upon hearing Yang Min's decision for her, Zhang Huihui immediately became anxious.

"Officer, that's not how it is!"

"Oh~"

Officer Chen looked at Zhang Huihui. Faced with a criminal who denies their crimes, the police allow them the right to defend themselves.

"you say!"

Wu Youyou sneered, still trying to argue!

He Qiangwei didn't even glance at Zhang Huihui, but stared at her textbook, seemingly reading but also seemingly not reading at all.

Zhang Huihui tried her best to appear calm and composed. She took a deep breath.

"I did touch this jade bracelet. Yang Min showed it to me when she brought it back. I thought it was really beautiful, so I held it in my hand and admired it carefully. But after that, I never touched that jade bracelet again!"

Yang Min became furious when she heard Zhang Huihui still trying to argue, and she yelled at Zhang Huihui.

"You stole my jade bracelet and framed Wu Youyou. This is irrefutable evidence. You still want to deny it!"

Zhang Huihui glanced sideways at Yang Min, then looked at Officer Chen and answered with feigned composure.

"Officer, why isn't this thief herself?"

"What did you say?"

Yang Min could hardly believe her ears, thinking she had misheard.

After she turned around, she glared at Zhang Huihui with resentment.

"You actually tried to frame me!"

Zhang Huihui ignored Yang Min's gaze and continued to argue,

“I’ve noticed you’ve been following Wu Youyou around these past few days, trying to become her friend. The Wu Group is indeed very impressive, but you can’t frame me like this just to befriend Wu Youyou! You usually don’t let anyone touch your things, not even an eraser. So why are you letting me touch your precious jade bracelet?”
