Ning Hongze's gaze remained fixed on the male colleague who had just opened his cabinet.
Don't you find this strange?
"What's strange about it?"
"First of all, I had no idea that there was a diamond ring in this gentleman's lunchbox. And he wouldn't announce his proposal to everyone."
"You're right, not many people actually know that I want to propose."
The man nodded.
“Secondly, your bento box looks cheap and doesn’t taste good at all. I have no reason to leave my own beautiful bento box uneaten to steal yours.” Ning Hong then showed them his bento box again.
His bento box was very exquisite.
It's more refined than what's sold in restaurants.
"That makes some sense, but I want to emphasize that my bento boxes may not look very appealing, but they are absolutely delicious."
This was his last act of defiance.
“There’s one last thing.” Ning Hong chuckled. “I just want to ask how you were able to walk right into my cabinet and rummage through it. You did it so familiarly, as if you were the one who put it there.”
Because I put it in myself, I was able to confirm that the bento box was inside.
"you--"
The man looked at his male colleague.
"Isn't it obvious? If you don't hide the stolen goods in your own closet, why would you leave them out in the open?"
"So, call the police."
Ning Hong then took out her phone and said, "Don't worry, if you don't want to call the police, I will call the police myself to prove my innocence."
He had only pressed the button twice when his male colleague suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his hand.
"Are you crazy?"
"No, I have nothing to hide. I haven't done this. So I'm not afraid."
Upon hearing Ning Hongze's words, the male colleague's face turned pale and then flushed.
"Shouldn't we have called the police?"
"Why? Because the person who stole someone else's things and then framed me must be you." Only a thief would feel guilty—
The person who stole the diamonds was indeed this male colleague.
It's not that I'm coveting this diamond.
This male colleague earns a slightly higher salary than this man.
As for why he was framed, it was for another receptionist.
A beautiful and elegant woman.
He had always liked her, but the receptionist kept running to the storeroom.
The receptionist was indifferent to him, but he saw her smile sweetly at Ning Hong.
He felt that Ning Hongze had stolen his woman, so he wanted Ning Hongze to leave the company. He believed that as long as Ning Hongze left, he could definitely win her back if he put in more effort.
But he didn't expect Ning Hongze to be so tough, actually wanting to call the police directly.
If we call the police, they might find out something.
If the investigation really comes to light, he'll probably lose his job. Even if he doesn't, being called in by the police for questioning isn't a good thing.
This will definitely become a stain on his life record, a stain that can never be washed away.
The male colleague had no choice but to admit it, and apologized with a complicated expression, then apologized to Ning Hongze as well.
"I'm sorry, it was my fault, please forgive me."
"Don't call the police, and don't make a big deal out of this." The male student looked at the man and Ning Hongze with a pleading expression.
The man naturally wouldn't mind; the item had been recovered, and the marriage proposal was already successful.
He didn't want to argue with Ning Hongze just now, and he didn't want to argue with this male colleague now either.
"Honestly, if I didn't call the police, I would feel really bad for the false accusation you just made."
"It was my fault, please let me off the hook."
The male colleague lowered his head and apologized.
He was unhappy about being let off so easily.
However, if he is sent directly to the police station, he will be considered to have attempted theft, and in reality, he won't be detained for many days. The only impact would be that he might lose his job.
Besides, if this man doesn't care, why should he care?
Most importantly, this is his company, the company where he has worked for several years. He has a good relationship with these employees. If he really does disregard everything and calls the police, his other colleagues will probably look at him strangely, and may even ostracize him.
After much deliberation, he had no choice but to compromise.
"Alright, don't pick on me again."
Ning Hong then spoke up.
His gaze fell on the pretty receptionist. To be honest, although he had been working there for several days, he had never really looked at the receptionist properly.
At first glance, she actually looks somewhat similar to Acha.
Ning Hong felt a faint sense of joy.
So, is he about to meet Acha?
This person is probably not Acha.
Although they look somewhat similar, they smell different.
He could sense it, therefore, it shouldn't be Acha.
"Hey, do you have any sisters?"
"No."
The woman shook her head, her voice as gentle as water—
No?
How is that possible?
Ning Hong scratched her head, her mood instantly sinking again.
In a classroom at F University.
Everyone was quietly reading, including Ning Xiaoquan, who was engrossed in reading an original book.
Suddenly a tall, thin figure appeared in the doorway and walked in step by step.
The whole class suddenly erupted in excitement.
"Ahhhh—"
"It's Lu Zhan. Lu Zhan is back at school?"
Hearing the commotion in the classroom, Ning Xiaoquan looked up blankly, only to find a tall figure standing in front of her.
He was about 1.85 meters tall, with a slender build. He wore a very simple white shirt and jeans, which made his long legs look extremely straight.
The person paused in front of her for a moment, then walked to the far corner of the classroom and sat down.
Ning Xiaoquan glanced at him twice, his gaze lingering on his slender waist for a moment before he looked away.
She felt like she'd seen this person somewhere before.
Who is this?
"No way? Big sister, you don't know Lu Zhan?"
"Lu Zhan?"
The man who knocked her brother away that day was named Lu Zhan.
Are they different people with the same name, or is it the same person at all?
Actually, if you look closely, he does resemble the person from that day in some ways.
"Lu Zhan is incredibly talented. He's a genius. I've heard that he was directly admitted to all universities since junior high, and even prestigious universities were vying to admit him. However, F University is closer to his home, so he chose F University."
"Child, why do I feel that you dislike your alma mater so much? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
"What nonsense! Choosing a prestigious university is something only geniuses do. We're just ordinary people. I'm already incredibly grateful to have been admitted here. I'm practically ready to burn incense and give thanks."
