However, when Liu Ying searched Gu Qingchen’s backpack and desk, she did not find Shi Wei’s wallet. Ma Shihan was stunned. Her eyes were filled with disbelief. She had clearly put Shi Wei’s wallet into Gu Qingchen’s backpack, she could easily see it if she flipped through it. Why was there no wallet?

Gu Qingchen looked up and met Ma Shihan’s stunned gaze. The corners of her lips curled up faintly. The teasing in her eyes was something that Ma Shihan was not familiar with. When Ma Shihan saw it, her heart sank, and she panicked.

Why did this happen?

Suddenly, Ma Shihan had a foreboding. But before she could think about it carefully, Liu Ying had already searched her area.

Because it involved stealing, Liu Ying had to do it herself. When Liu Ying poured out the things in Ma Shihan’s bag, a pink wallet fell out.

Boom!

“Ah! Oh my God!”

“Isn’t this Shi Wei’s wallet?”

“Why is it with Ma Shihan? So, it was Ma Shihan who stole the wallet!”

“This is unbelievable. It was actually Ma Shihan who stole it. I really can’t tell. Isn’t she on good terms with Shi Wei? Why would she do such a thing?”

For a moment, the class was very lively. Everyone was discussing and whispering. They looked at Ma Shihan as if they were looking at a thief.

Ma Shihan was stunned. She had obviously put Shi Wei’s wallet into Gu Qingchen’s bag. How could it appear in her bag?

Impossible, this was definitely impossible!

“It wasn’t me. It wasn’t me who stole it. It was Gu Qingchen. She must have framed me!”

Ma Shihan panicked and pointed at Gu Qingchen. “You were the one who stole the wallet. I get it, you’re trying to frame me!”

Everyone was surprised that things had taken such a big turn. Who was the thief between Ma Shihan and Gu Qingchen?

Shi Wei looked at Ma Shihan and then Gu Qingchen, and then spoke in a suspicious tone, “As far as I know, Ma Shihan’s family background is pretty well-to-do. She doesn’t need to steal other people’s wallets. As for some people, whose family has gone bankrupt, should be in a hurry to use money, right?”

Although Shi Wei didn’t say that it was Gu Qingchen who stole the money, she was leading the crowd to suspect Gu Qingchen.

Shi Wei didn’t care whether it was Gu Qingchen who stole it or not. Now that there was such an opportunity, she would never give up the chance to humiliate Gu Qingchen.

“Yeah, Ma Shihan’s family is not short of money. There’s no need to steal Shi Wei’s wallet.”

“There hasn’t been any theft in our class before. How could someone lose their wallet as soon as someone’s family has gone bankrupt? Isn’t that too much of a coincidence?”

With Shi Wei as the starting point, there were naturally many people who liked to add insult to injury. And the “someone” they were referring to was naturally Gu Qingchen.

Gu Qingchen looked at these people coldly. It turned out that the ugliness of human nature had already been revealed when they were still underage. It was just that the current ugliness was something that many people did not realize.

“Gu Qingchen, did you take this wallet or not?”

Even the homeroom teacher, Liu Ying, looked at Gu Qingchen sternly, thinking that what the students had said made sense.

Gu Qingchen sneered. Liu Ying had always been snobbish. At this time, it was normal to trample on her. Although she was a teacher, who stipulated those teachers should have morals?

“Ms. Liu, your question seems a little ridiculous. You found the wallet in Ma Shihan’s schoolbag with your own hands, but now you’re asking me instead. Accusing a student is not something that an upright teacher should do, right?”

Liu Ying was choked by Gu Qingchen’s accusation. She looked embarrassed and almost couldn’t hold herself back. She had indeed found the wallet in Ma Shihan’s bag with her own hands. It seemed that it was her fault to accuse Gu Qingchen without any evidence.

However, Liu Ying couldn’t embarrass herself in front of the students. She coughed lightly and said in a serious tone, “But why did Ma Shihan say that you stole it? There are so many students in the class. Why didn’t she accuse others? Why did she accuse you?”

As expected of a teacher, she always found all kinds of excuses. If it were the old Gu Qingchen, she might be afraid of this teacher. But now, Gu Qingchen was not even afraid of death. How could she be afraid of a mere teacher?

“Ms. Liu, shouldn’t you ask Ma Shihan such a question? Actually, this matter is very simple. You can just call the police. Stealing is not a small crime. I believe that the police will be more impartial and will speak with facts instead of judging based on personal feelings.”

Gu Qingchen did not give in at all. With a stern expression, she even took the initiative to call the police. Initially, some of the boys in the class thought that Gu Qingchen might have stolen it. Now, they felt that it should not be Gu Qingchen.

If it were her, Gu Qingchen would definitely not have called the police.

Liu Ying’s face alternated between red and white. She subconsciously adjusted her glasses.

“Call the police? Definitely not. If this matter is blown up, it won’t benefit me at all. I have to think of a way to solve it.”

Gu Qingchen looked at Liu Ying and read her mind. Gu Qingchen could not help but sneer.

This was the homeroom teacher. When something happened to a student, she was not thinking about how to find out the truth and clear the student’s name. Instead, she was thinking about her own future.

“Of course, even if Ms. Liu doesn’t call the police, for the sake of my innocence, I will call the police. Nowadays, technology is very advanced. If I really touched the wallet, my fingerprints will be on the wallet. If someone else touched the wallet, there will definitely be fingerprints on the wallet. It will be very easy to determine who is the thief.”

When Gu Qingchen first touched the wallet, she took it with her clothes, so her fingerprints were not on the wallet.

When she heard this, Ma Shihan almost lost her balance. Her eyes were erratic and full of guilt. She was such a scheming person, but after all, she was still a minor. When she heard that the police would find out who the thief was, she could not pretend to be calm anymore.

Gu Qingchen was calm. Compared to Ma Shihan’s panic, anyone with eyes could see who stole the wallet.

Many boys had a good impression of Ma Shihan in the past, but now it was completely overturned. On the other hand, Gu Qingchen was calm in the face of false accusations, which attracted the attention of many boys.

Shi Wei glared at Ma Shihan. Her eyes rolled and she suddenly opened her mouth and said, “Ms. Liu, it slipped my mind. The zipper of my schoolbag had problems this morning. After I used my wallet, I asked Ma Shihan to help me keep it first. I didn’t find my wallet just now and forgot about it. It was all a misunderstanding. Let’s just forget about it.”

Shi Wei’s smile was very forced. Everyone could see that she was trying to smooth things over for Ma Shihan. Gu Qingchen even read a few boys’ thoughts that Shi Wei was quite kind and was willing to smooth things over for Ma Shihan.

After reading all this, Gu Qingchen laughed. Although Shi Wei was a little arrogant, she was not any better than Ma Shihan. She did it on purpose.

She deliberately used such a lame lie to smooth things over for Ma Shihan, as if to give Ma Shihan a way out. However, in reality, she had gained a lot of popularity and won the favor of most people. Ma Shihan was even more grateful to Shi Wei.

It seemed that she had really misjudged Shi Wei in the past. She was another scheming woman!

A farce was resolved just like that. Gu Qingchen and Shi Wei were both winners, and Ma Shihan was the only one who lost.

On the surface, Ma Shihan didn’t seem to be too embarrassed, but in the hearts of the boys in the class, they secretly labeled Ma Shihan.

Many boys used to think that Ma Shihan was beautiful and kind, but now they felt that Ma Shihan was a scheming person. Subconsciously, they all distanced themselves from her.

After school that night, under the ridicule of Shi Wei and the others, Gu Qingchen left the school. Those wolves in sheep’s clothing and conniving bitches were really not worth her effort to deal with.
