Chapter 113 Catching a Thief
Chapter 114 Catching a Thief
That night, Fang Qing put the finished painting in the activity room to dry, as usual, and then locked the door and left. Not long after she left, the lights in the corridor were turned off one by one, followed by the sound of footsteps, and a figure moved quickly in the dark corridor. With the sound of the door lock clicking, the figure quickly entered the activity room.
The man held up a flashlight and carefully checked each drawing board one by one until he saw a blue painting by the window. His breathing became rapid. The flashlight shone on the lower right corner of the drawing paper. He was visibly relieved when he saw the word "lime", then he bit the flashlight and prepared to roll up the painting.
"Snap!" The lights in the room suddenly lit up, and the man was startled and stood still. His hand reaching for the scroll stopped in mid-air, and he mechanically turned his head to look at the switch at the door.
"Hey, Wang Yao, what a coincidence to meet you so late at night!" Wang Nan, Zhang Jiaqi and others stood at the door, folding their arms and looking at Wang Yao in the middle of the room, watching her face which was wrinkled and flustered like watching a show.
Fang Qing had never expected that the person who repeatedly stole paintings was actually Wang Yao, the most honest girl in the class? But why did she do this? He had never had any unpleasant experiences with her, and they usually got along very well. It didn't make any sense at all.
"Wang Yao, what are you doing here?"
Wang Yao looked at the expressions of Fang Qing and the others, her mind went blank. She felt as if she was under a spell. She just watched the three people slowly approaching, but she didn't know how to react, "I... I..."
How should I tell them? These people are not fools, how can they not see that I came here for that painting? But if I tell them, how will they deal with me? Will they tell the instructor? Will I be punished? Will Li Heng in my cousin's class always look down on me?
Just when Wang Yao was shocked and scared, Fang Qing came over. As Fang Qing approached, Wang Yao stepped back step by step, and finally fell to the ground after knocking over an easel.
"Oh no, it's over." Fang Qing looked at Zhang Han's fallen easel, slapped his forehead, and sighed, "This is a big trouble."
…
Sitting on a small stool, after being educated on the correct outlook on life, world view and values by Wang Nan and Fang Qing, Wang Yao finally could not bear the mental torture and honestly told all the facts.
Wang Nan gnashed her teeth in anger, "How has our Fang Qing gotten in your way? Why do you have to target her like this?"
Wang Yao glanced at Fang Qing. "I don't know about that. Anyway, Li Yufang said that you should tell her everything about you, and then she will create trouble for you and make you... uncomfortable. That will make her happy."
Fang Qing looked up at the sky speechlessly, "So, you took my painting last time and asked someone to take it to the competition, right?"
Wang Yao quickly shook her head. "I was only responsible for stealing the paintings. I don't know anything else. But... I don't think she has any interest in your paintings..."
After asking almost everything they could, Fang Qing and the other two began to worry about what Wang Yao should do next. Seeing the three of them staring at her, Wang Yao panicked immediately. Were these three people going to kill her to silence her?
"I...I've told you everything I need to say. I haven't done anything against the law. Can you please let me go..."
Wang Nan sat down next to Wang Yao, put his arm around her shoulders, and smiled like a bandit. "Ah, what are you talking about? How could we do something like that? But I'm a little curious, what leverage do you have over Li Yufang that allows her to order you around like that?"
Wang Yao bit her lip and said nothing. No matter how Wang Nan asked, she refused to say anything. Finally, Fang Qing saw that she was about to cry, so he pulled the two apart and handed her another painting. "Since you don't want to say anything, then we won't ask. Take this painting and give it to her. As for what happened tonight, you should know what to do."
Wang Yao didn't expect that she could still get the painting. She looked at Fang Qing in disbelief, "Why did you give it to me? Did you poison the painting?"
Zhang Jiaqi sneered when he heard this, "Do you think we are the same as you? If I don't give you the painting, how are you going to explain it to her? Just think of it as a favor to you, why don't you take it?"
Wang Yao took the painting uncertainly, and then slowly left the room under the gaze of the three people. When closing the door, Wang Yao suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Fang Qing, "By the way, I saw Li Yufang calling Li Xin cousin again. I heard the gossip about you and Li Xin. This information may be useful to you." After that, she ran away quickly with the painting.
The activity room was quiet again. Fang Qing thought about what Wang Yao had just said and finally figured it out. Li Yufang and Li Xin were cousins. She and Li Xin had a feud, so Li Yufang had always been targeting her and had repeatedly made trouble for her. Oh, I never expected that this was the case!
Fang Qing stood up and walked around the room, wondering how to deal with the two sisters. Thinking about Wang Yao who had just left, he suddenly had an idea.
A few days later, Wang Yao suddenly found Li Yufang and said, "I, I have a major discovery. That...that person seemed to have gone to a hotel outside the school today."
Li Yufang was a little impatient at first, but she immediately perked up after hearing the news. "Hotel? What is a girl doing in a hotel?"
Wang Yao rubbed the corner of her clothes, not daring to look up, "I heard that... there will be an event in the evening."
Li Yufang rolled her eyes. "Are all those people in their dormitory going?"
Wang Yao shook her head. "Those people have other things to do at night, so they probably won't go. Maybe... she and the president..."
Wang Yao didn't finish her words, but Li Yufang understood. She smiled with disdain, her eyes full of contempt, "Humph! Bitch, you can't help it. I knew they would have such a day! Okay, I get it, go back!"
Wang Yao stood still, thinking about what Wang Nan had taught her before, hesitating whether to speak or not. But her attitude made Li Yufang think that she had something to say, "Do you have anything else to say? If you have something to say, please speak up. I have to go out soon. Tsk, can you please be quick? Don't be so rude. It's no wonder that Li Heng doesn't like you and is with someone else..."
Wang Yao, who was originally a little hesitant, clenched his fists immediately after hearing this.
Usually, Li Yufang always used the person she liked as a condition to make her do this and that. I helped her do so many things like a slave, but she always looked down on me. She even kept delaying the promise to introduce me to Li Heng. Wang Yao also knew that she might just be using me, but she always held a glimmer of hope, what if she really helped me one day?
But she just found out today that Li Heng had been with someone else. Wouldn't everything she had done before become a joke? Thinking of this, Wang Yao finally hardened her heart.
"I have an idea that will make her never be able to raise her head again."
