"Now you can just take this phone card to the cafeteria to get food, and the machine will read it." Lü Ziqun waved the two cards in his hand.
One was her meal card, and the other was a copied phone card.
"What's the point of copying this? It won't make any extra money." Song Hongye found it strange. Why would anyone bother with all this nonsense?
She felt it was a complete waste of time; she'd be better off going out to play!
Ye Qingqing has figured out many of the things that puzzled her before. Originally, she was just investigating the theft of money, but now she has uncovered another case. She coldly looks at Sun Yurong, whose face is pale.
He does have some cleverness, but unfortunately he doesn't use it for good.
Sun Yurong retorted stubbornly, "I'm afraid of losing my meal card, can't I just make a few extra as backup?"
Ye Qingqing sneered, "Are you saying these phone cards are all your own meal cards?"
Sun Yurong panicked and dared not look at Ye Qingqing, but she had already been forced into a corner, so she had no choice but to grit her teeth and persevere, hoping to get through this ordeal.
"Yes, these are all my meal cards. I'm a bit forgetful and often lose small things, so I make a few copies to keep on hand."
Sun Yurong still harbored a侥幸心理 (a sense of侥幸, or a feeling of getting away with it). Although the holes on the meal cards were all different, they actually looked pretty much the same at first glance, and the difference was almost imperceptible to the naked eye. Perhaps Ye Qingqing and the others wouldn't be able to tell!
But--
Without a word, Ye Qingqing placed all five of Sun Yurong's phone cards on the table and shouted at her, "Give me your meal card!"
"What do you want to do?" Sun Yurong was nervous, and beads of sweat covered the tip of her nose.
"Of course I'm here to prove your innocence. Why are you so nervous?" Ye Qingqing looked at her with a half-smile.
Thieves always feel guilty. No matter how clever Sun Yurong is, she can't overcome her psychological barrier, and she has already given herself away.
The other students also noticed something amiss and became very interested. Some of them were even whispering among themselves. The small murmurs reached Sun Yurong's ears, and she became even more flustered, with sweat beading on her forehead.
"It's just to look at your meal card, Sun Yurong, why are you hiding it? Are you really up to something?" Lu Ziqun used reverse psychology, speaking in a sarcastic tone.
"Who's hiding something!" Sun Yurong stubbornly refused to get her meal card.
Ye Qingqing raised her voice and shouted, "If you're not hiding anything, take out your meal card. Don't waste everyone's time!"
Her sudden outburst startled not only Sun Yurong, but also the other classmates, who looked at Ye Qingqing in surprise. They hadn't expected that Ye Qingqing, who was usually quiet, could be so terrifying when she got angry.
Sun Yurong still didn't move, and Ye Qingqing said coldly, "Do you want me to go get it?"
As she spoke, she reached for Sun Yurong's bag hanging on the headboard. Sun Yurong usually kept her meal card in her bag, which Ye Qingqing had already noticed.
"I'll do it myself."
Sun Yurong knew she couldn't hide it any longer, so she gritted her teeth and took her meal card. She secretly comforted herself, thinking that even if they found out about the meal card, it wouldn't matter. The amount wasn't large; the real money was the cash. As long as she stuck to her story, it would be fine.
Even now, Sun Yurong still harbors a sense of luck, but she forgets that others are not fools.
Ye Qingqing snatched the meal card that Sun Yurong had taken out and placed it on the table. It was obvious that Sun Yurong's meal card was very new, with almost no signs of use, as if it had just been received.
"You haven't used your meal card, have you?"
Ye Qingqing looked at Sun Yurong with a mocking expression, picked up a phone card with a small hole punched in it, folded it under Sun Yurong's meal card, and held it up to the light.
