Chapter 136: Battle of Kings (Major Revision)



Anti-theft chapter ~ Thank you for subscribing to the official version of Jinjiang Literature City ~ Jiang Xi noticed her slightly trembling fingertips. When people are nervous, excited or guilty, even if they can keep a straight face, it will show in other aspects.

Chen Jing bit her lip, her innocent almond-shaped eyes looking here and there, as if she couldn't make up her mind.

"you--"

For Sun Ting, who always regarded Jiang Xi as her goddess, she had to step forward and give her a good beating when her goddess was insulted. However, Jiang Xi pulled her sleeve to stop her. She shook her head and said, "Wait a minute."

"Are you sure it's missing? On the ground, in my pocket? It could be anything?" Jiang Xi said slowly. "When something goes missing, the normal reaction would be, 'Ah, did I put it somewhere else? Did I drop it?'"

"Liu Yun, you came up and shouted that it was stolen, you are very sure."

Jiang Xi rarely spoke so much at once, and his throat felt dry. Liu Yun's expression shifted slightly, and before Jiang Xi could continue, she said directly, "There's no point in trying to argue. I watched Jingjing put the necklace in there, and it was still in good condition before she left."

"You two have reconciled?"

Jiang Xi felt that the friendship between these little girls was really hard to understand.

Chen Jing's eyes moved: "Yunyun apologized to me, we-"

"Why are you saying so much?" Liu Yun interrupted her: "Whether it's stolen or not, we just need to search her bag."

If Jiang Xi was an ordinary high school student, she might have obeyed, but she was not. After years of experience, she had developed the ability to read people's expressions. As soon as Liu Yun's eyes moved, she knew that the necklace might really be in her bag. If they searched now, she would have no way to defend herself.

He's so young, yet so vicious!

Jiang Xi decided to teach her a profound lesson.

Unexpectedly, the chivalrous woman Lu Zhu'er showed up. She felt that Jiang Xi's current personality was very much to her liking, and that he was exactly the type of person she was. "You just search when you say so? Even if the police want to arrest someone and search them, they still have to apply for an arrest warrant and a search warrant first. Liu Yun, you're going too far."

"Yes, yes, he's not a criminal right now. If you search him, wouldn't that be treating him like a bad person?"

Jiang Xi decided not to take the lead for the time being.

Lu Hao was watching the farce of Class 1 at the door, and for some reason, he felt a pang in his heart.

He didn't care about the boundary between Class One and Class Two, and walked straight in and stood beside Jiang Xi: "I believe Jiang Xi won't steal."

Jiang Xi glanced at him, and Lu Hao felt even more like the prince who slew the dragon and cut through the thorns. When it was his turn to be relied upon by the princess, the heroic blood in his heart began to boil.

The young man's unyielding demeanor warmed Jiang Xi's heart, and the memory...

Liu Yun's face turned pale for a moment, as if she was shocked by the fact that Lu Hao stood up, but she quickly recovered and said, "Then let's search together."

"Start with me." She returned to her seat and quickly took out her schoolbag and textbooks from her pocket until it was empty. Then she opened all the secret pockets of her schoolbag one by one and shook the bottom. "Is that it? You all saw it. If we follow the suspicion, everyone in the class is a suspect. Anyone who doesn't want to be searched is guilty!"

The little girl is quite smart.

Jiang Xi is now very sure that the necklace must be in his schoolbag or pocket, and it must be in a shallow layer, the kind that will come out if he shakes it.

Think about it, I was lying on the desk the whole day today, and only left for the first half of the physical education class. This was the only opportunity for the other party to frame me.

Just as he was thinking about it, Liu Yun rushed over. No one expected that she would be so rough, like a bullfight. Jiang Xi staggered and narrowly avoided falling to the ground. Lu Hao reached out to help her, but she dodged it.

With a "crash", the schoolbag and textbooks fell to the ground.

"You--" Sun Ting was about to scold, but she found that the whole class's eyes were on the ground.

Amidst the miscellaneous pile of school bags and textbooks, a bright sparkle caught everyone's eyes - it was the necklace that Chen Jing had just lost.

"Wow, big news."

Some classmates have already secretly taken out their mobile phones to record it.

The first person Jiang Xi looked at was Lu Hao.

She didn't know why, but at this moment, what she wanted to know most was the boy's reaction - perhaps first love is always a little different.

But she was disappointed.

Lu Hao looked at the ground. The boy's narrow single eyelids twitched, his pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at a mixture of astonishment, shock, disbelief, and bewilderment, so that he could only stare blankly at the ground.

Lu Hao was unwilling to believe that the girl he liked was a thief, but the necklace was there intact and there was no room for mistake.

A high school student with shallow and simple life experience would rarely suspect that his peers had sinister intentions to frame him. Compared to this person stealing, being framed seems even more bizarre.

"Jiang, Jiang Xi, I wouldn't steal."

Lu Hao forced himself to say one more sentence, but the trembling voice made others see the young man's wavering mood.

Jiang Xi sighed. She hadn't sighed in many years.

She didn't sigh when she killed someone; she didn't sigh when she escaped; but at this moment, she felt that something solid and firm in her heart was fading away bit by bit. The feeling was so subtle that she couldn't help but sigh.

In this situation, asking someone to give you 100% trust is really asking for too much.

Jiang Xi ignored the slight disappointment in his heart, looked at Liu Yun's smugness and Chen Jing's astonishment, and reached into his trouser pocket and took out... a fruit 6.

"Then call the police."

She dialed the number quickly and put the receiver on speakerphone. "For a minor case like this, just report it to the police. Our school corridors are full of surveillance cameras, so anyone sneaking back in should be visible. Besides, anyone who handled this necklace would probably have fingerprints on them. We can check and find out."
