the next day.
Minglu was awakened by a piercing scream.
Who put a scarf around my neck?
She opened her eyes and sat up, and saw that Qi Ning was indeed wearing a pure white fox fur around his neck.
She seemed to see the fox fur glare at her resentfully, then hang it around Qi Ning's neck with a mixture of disgust and resignation.
Qi Ning hurriedly removed the fox pelt and roared, "Who did this!"
As she spoke, she looked at Mingluo.
Minglu said coldly, "How did my things end up with you? Come on, let's go see the dorm manager. There's been a thief in our dorm."
Qi Ning's face instantly turned to horror. Only then did she realize that what she was holding in her hand was the white fox scarf that had disappeared that day...
How did this thing get out and get onto her neck?
She hurriedly said, "I didn't steal it, and I don't know how it got to me. Don't wrong an innocent person."
"Whether you stole it or not, we can find out by asking the dorm manager. If that doesn't work, we can call the police. No one will wrongly accuse you. Let's go!" Mingluo immediately opened the door and gestured for Qi Ning to come with her.
Qi Ning sensed something was wrong and glared at Ming Luo with resentment. "What do you mean? You have to ask someone for help for such a small thing. Aren't you ashamed?"
"A trivial matter?" Minglu scoffed. "You seem to have forgotten that this thing is worth hundreds of thousands. If you really stole it, you could get ten years in prison. Stealers don't care about shame, so why should I, who lost something, feel ashamed? Come with me now!"
Such a commotion has already alerted people.
Qi Ning panicked as soon as he saw more and more people, and his tone finally softened.
"Mingluo, I said it wasn't me, so why do you have to make such a big deal out of it?"
The other two also looked anxious. If Mingluo really made a big fuss, they wouldn't be able to hide the fact that they had secretly gone through Mingluo's things that day.
"Mingluo, let's talk this out. Close the door and let's resolve our own dorm issues, okay?"
"Heh!" Minglu smiled sarcastically. "When I wanted to talk to you properly, you didn't talk to me properly. If you don't want to make a big deal out of this, then tell me in front of everyone here whether you actually peeked at my things that day. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
"..."
The three men's faces turned bright red, and they looked at each other in silence.
They hated Mingluo to the core. With the door wide open, forcing them to apologize in front of everyone, where would they put their pride?
The other two couldn't help but speak up to Qi Ning, saying, "Qi Ning, tell us first, how did the scarf end up with you? If you really hid it, just apologize to Ming Luo."
"What do you mean?" Qi Ning immediately screamed as if her hair had been blown off. "You two were the ones who looked at it first that day, and I was the last one to look at it. When the scarf couldn't be found, you said it was just lost and that it was gone, that you two didn't care. Now you're pushing me out to take the blame? If you two hadn't been so impulsive, why would I have looked at it? If anyone should apologize, it should be you."
Mingluo's cold eyes swept over the three of them.
Dogs fighting, a mouthful of fur!
Indeed, talking badly about others behind their backs is the fastest way to build friendships.
Unfortunately, this friendship crumbled so quickly!
"What are you all arguing about?" The dormitory supervisor came over after hearing the commotion.
She walked through the crowd, looked at Mingluo and the other three people, quickly understood what was going on, and couldn't help but hesitate.
Mingluo's reputation has never been very good, but these three are all good students, and I haven't heard anything bad about them.
She actually sided with those three people and didn't want to escalate the situation; the best course of action was to let things rest.
She looked at Mingluo and said, "Mingluo, I've figured things out. They really shouldn't have gone through your things that day. The scarf probably got lost while they were looking at it, but now that it's been found, we're all classmates, so let's just let this go. What do you think?"
"Hmm?" Minglu raised an eyebrow.
She had thought the divine realm was unreasonable enough, but now she realized that the mortal realm wasn't much better.
That's right, God came from man.
This bad habit hasn't actually changed in essence.
She said calmly, "Do you dare to vouch for them?"
"What am I guaranteeing?" The dormitory manager was stunned.
Mingluo said slowly and deliberately, "If you can guarantee that the items were lost or not stolen, I will let them go."
The dormitory manager's expression suddenly changed. "Why should I vouch for you?"
"Heh... So why do you think you can just let it go? I'm the one who lost the things, I'm the one who was insulted, I'm the one who was provoked, so why do you think you can just let it go?" Minglu stared at the dormitory manager with frosty eyes.
The dormitory manager was extremely embarrassed. "Then what do you suggest we do?"
"First, I'll apologize. Second, I'll search their belongings. I've lost a lot of things before. If it's confirmed that the items were stolen or not lost, I'll apologize to them. How about that?" Minglu looked at the three of them coldly.
The other two exchanged a glance. Seeing that even the dormitory supervisor had arrived, they realized that this matter was probably not going to be resolved easily, so they nodded.
Qi Ning was stunned. A hint of panic crossed her face, and she hurriedly said, "Why are you searching my things? I don't agree! I said I also lost some things. Does that mean you have to search your things too?"
"Okay!" Mingluo said decisively and resolutely, "You can search my things right now. If you can't find them, you apologize to me; similarly, if I search your things and can't find them, I can apologize to you too. Can I search now?"
"No, we can't search!" Qi Ning hurriedly stopped them.
Everyone could see her guilty look.
The dormitory manager panicked immediately.
She almost mentioned Qi Ning's guarantee just now, which means something's definitely wrong.
Mingluo said calmly, "If you don't want to search, then call the police!"
After saying that, she took out her phone to call the police.
Qi Ning suddenly screamed, "Ming Luo!"
She collapsed softly to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Please don't call the police. I was wrong. I was just curious that day and put it around my neck for a bit. The two girls saw it and opened it first. I was the last one to put it on, and then I couldn't find it. I don't know how it came out again today. I really didn't mean to steal it."
The other two girls looked embarrassed and lowered their heads, saying, "Mingluo, we're sorry. That day, we thought the box was so pretty, so we opened it and rummaged through your things. We're sorry, we were just curious."
"If you're going to apologize, then apologize properly. What's with this cryptic talk?" Mingluo's beautiful eyes were filled with sarcasm. "I'm curious about your money. May I use it?"
The crowd outside burst into laughter.
The two were filled with shame and indignation, and hurriedly apologized again. "I'm sorry, Mingluo, no matter what the reason, we shouldn't have looked through your things without your permission."
Mingluo looked at Qi Ning. "Did you take any of my other things?"
