"Oh my, it really is him, isn't this Amman's brother?"
Another person spoke up, their voice filled with intense curiosity. "Could it be that Amman has finally had enough of you and is going to abandon you?"
"Kaku, don't talk nonsense. If Amman finds out you're spouting nonsense in front of him, see how she deals with you."
"Tch." Although Kaku didn't want to hear this, he knew he was no match for Amman, so he obediently shut his mouth. However, his eyes still revealed a hint of displeasure as he coldly looked at Ning Hongze.
"Why are you here all alone? You sneaked down the mountain, Amman will be worried sick," said the person who had stopped Kakudo earlier.
"No, I wrote a letter."
Ning Hong shook his head. He wrote a letter and placed it on their stone table, which Amman would see.
Even if you write a letter, Amman will still be anxious.
"Oh my, the fool has become clever; he can even write letters now." Some people were genuinely concerned, while others were insincere, and some even seemed to be enjoying the show.
Ning Hong didn't want to argue with these people, and just stared straight at Jessica.
"If not, apologize."
In her past life, even though Jessica later found the missing necklace, she never remembered to apologize to the original owner of this fool.
Ning Hong then emphasized it again.
"Tch." Jessica snorted disdainfully, her innocent face showing contempt.
This kind of expression would never appear on Saint Jessica's face.
It must be said that although she lost her position as a saint, Jessica lived a more vibrant life, but unfortunately, she never realized it.
He was obsessed with revenge.
"Okay, if I can't find my bag, I'll apologize to you."
"good."
Ning Hong nodded and spread his hands. "Who wants to search?"
“I’ll do it.” A tall man standing next to Jessica stepped forward. He glanced at Jessica, and when she nodded, he prepared to make his move.
Just then, a heavy sword swept over.
The man was also a knight, and he quickly drew his longsword to defend himself.
A longsword is no match for a heavy sword.
In just one strike, the man was sent flying by the heavy sword.
Fortunately, the swordsman showed mercy and did not harm anyone.
Amman gripped his heavy sword and stood in front of Ning Hongze.
What do you want to do to my brother?
"You're his sister?" Jessica's face was grim. She never imagined that the knight beside her would be defeated by such a petite girl.
“Yes, what do you intend to do to my brother?” Amman raised his greatsword, his eyes fixed sharply on them.
“Your brother stole my things, so of course I have to get them back.”
“I didn’t steal it,” Ning Hong instinctively retorted. “I didn’t steal it.”
"My brother doesn't steal."
"You say it's not true, then it's not true? Your brother hit me, and my things did disappear in that instant. Actually, they weren't anything valuable. Have your brother return the bag to me, and I can give you some more money. How about it?" She was already very generous, not only not holding the fool accountable for stealing her things, but also giving them money.
As soon as Jessica spoke, the people present looked at her with even greater admiration.
If this thing was truly stolen by Ning Hongze, upon hearing these words, he would feel that he had committed a heinous crime, actually stealing something from such a good person. However, he did not steal it.
He didn't take anything.
"You said my brother hit you and then disappeared?"
“That’s right?” Jessica nodded affirmatively.
How can you be sure it wasn't lost before? For example, while eating?
"This—" After she said that, she wasn't sure anymore; it seemed like there was such a possibility.
Jessica's face flushed slightly. If she had really mistaken the person for someone else, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?
"Ahem, who knows? Maybe it is...?"
Jessica's eyes widened suddenly as she looked at the bag dangling in Amman's hand.
"This is my bag?"
How did it end up on this girl?
"So he really did steal it, and now he's handed it over to you?" After thinking it over, this is the only explanation.
“You’re talking nonsense.” Amman threw the bag at Jessica.
Jessica hurriedly caught the bag and immediately opened it to carefully check the necklace inside. Seeing that the necklace was intact, she breathed a sigh of relief. But the next moment, a man bound by ropes fell from the sky and landed directly in front of her.
"This is?"
"This man is a thief, and he's very good at stealing from people, especially from out of town. If you don't believe me, you can ask the people around here; they can all testify that what I'm saying is true. If you still don't believe me, you can ask him."
Amman's greatsword slammed into the ground, startling the man who immediately shifted his position. "Yes, I stole it. I noticed your extraordinary demeanor and knew you must have money on you. I didn't want to take your bag; I just wanted some money."
Who would have guessed that there wasn't a single penny in such a big bag?
He was so disappointed, and what made him even sadder was that he had been caught by Amman.
"You—you're the one who stole my things?" Jessica looked at the man with his head down, looking uneasy, and felt a little dizzy. When was she robbed?
She really misunderstood.
"This, me, me?"
She looked at Ning Hongze, then at the girl holding the heavy sword, and felt a pang of guilt. She should apologize, but seeing the determination on the man's face, she suddenly couldn't bring herself to say it.
"Apologize."
Ning Hong didn't care about any of that. Since she was wrong, she should apologize. "I didn't steal anything from you, so you should apologize."
So many people heard it and saw it.
Not only did they not steal her things, but they also found them for her. If she remained indifferent, everyone present would probably look down on her.
Jessica's eyes reddened even more.
She lowered her head and mumbled, "I'm sorry."
"Alright, I forgive you. Next time, remember to investigate things thoroughly before you speak."
Jessica kept her head down, not daring to look up because her expression was too unpleasant.
I felt regret, embarrassment, and even a bit of resentment.
Of course, there was also a slight sense of guilt.
A mix of emotions made her expression somewhat ferocious.
Upon hearing Jessica's apology, Ning Hong felt a surge of pent-up frustration dissipate.
It was as if the sun had suddenly broken through the clouds after a long rain, allowing him to instantly appreciate the beauty of a sunny day.
The original owner of this body waited her whole life for that one "I'm sorry," but never received it.
