The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 51 Charges

"Since it has come to this... I would like to request one thing." Li Yue respectfully told the administrator. "True, I might have a dark past. I was a person who bullied people and loved to kick them when they are down. However, I am no fool. I’ve already lost my family and I don’t dare offend any influential families. Because of this... I am not planning to pursue this matter. Once you find out that I didn’t steal that bracelet, I want Lizzy Lu to apologize to me for trying to ruin my name!"

The first half of Li Yue’s words sounded humble and righteous however the second half made a lot of people frown. How could a mere country bumpkin like Li Yue request for an apology from a person from an influential family like Lizzy Lu? But, instead of saying anything, this people decided to observe the scene and wait for Lizzy Lu’s answer.

"Alright." Lizzy said before she fidgeted with her fingers and lowered her head. "But— But— "She purposely stammered, showing a weak and pitiful, teary-eyed face. "But If I find my bracelet in your possession... what would you do?"

"Naturally, I will let you file a case against me! I will not even hesitate to go to prison and pay for my sins!" Li Yue’s confidence was enough to shake Lizzy to the core. However, she knew this was all a pretense. Lizzy knew that Li Yue was only acting tough to impress Mo Li inside the tent. However, that plan of hers will surely fail. Her friend had already given her assurance that she put the bracelet inside the huge hiking bag that Li Yue was carrying earlier. She also confirmed that Li Yue was not aware of it it and it was still there.

Even Lizzy confirmed that the bracelet was indeed in Li Yue’s bag earlier as that bracelet had a tracker that she purposely put just for this scheme. Of course, Lizzy was not planning to reveal the existence of the tracker as that would prove that it was all indeed her attempt at slander. "Li Yue.. I.." She pretended to be surprised at Li Yue’s declaration. In her mind, Li Yue was indeed nothing but an arrogant fool— Just like what Sun Fengmian told Lizzy’s mother, this Li Yue is nothing but a simpleton. "Are you really willing to go to prison just because of a bracelet? Stop acting arrogant. If you give me the bracelet now and apologize, I can still forget about this matter. I promise that I wouldn’t mention this incident to my mother who loves my grandmother so much."

As expected, Li Yue only sneered. "How could I give you something that I don’t have?" Li Yue stubbornly said. She swept her gaze over everyone and added, "Administrator please search my entire bag. You can even search the tent if you want to. You can also search my pouch that I am carrying and even my body!"

Gasps and whispers echoed. Why is Li Yue so enthusiastic for the search? If she stole that bracelet, she would be nervous and would hesitate. However, she had easily complied, offering them to search through her things and even asked them to search her body! What does this mean? Everyone looked at Lizzy, their gazes full of meaning. Was it possible that Lizzy is lying to frame Li Yue?

Of course, Lizzy only sneered inwardly at Li Yue’s confidence. In a few minutes, the people who were searching would soon find what they were looking for in that bag. Lizzy could only celebrate inwardly as she tried her best to hide the amusement in her eyes. She could not wait to see the look in Li Yue’s face once that happens. She secretly stole a glance at the woman who put the bracelet in Li Yue’s bag. In response, the woman gave her a nod of assurance.

"Since we don’t know who stole the bracelet, only the other guides along with me will search for the item. Miss Lizzy, please provide us with an image of the bracelet. The female guides will search Li Yue’s clothing and other sensitive stuff while the men will search around the tent and everyone in the proximity. I want everyone to be thorough. Also... since Miss Li has already given her approval, another female guide will check Miss Li’s body. I believe someone has already called the police earlier. If Miss Li were to be proven guilty, she will be escorted out of this mountain and the authorities will be waiting for her at the entrance of the mountain. After all, theft is not something that the school will tolerate. Even if Miss Lizzy Lu doesn’t want to press charges, the school will take this matter seriously!" The administrator’s voice was clear and loud enough for everyone to hear.

"So, what if Li Yue didn’t steal the bracelet?" Li Weiwei’s voice echoed. "Are you going to press charges againsy Lizzy Lu for slandering Li Yue too? Surely, the school will not take this matter for granted right? After all, how could an influential person try to frame someone who doesn’t even have a family to support them?"

The administrator stared at Li Weiwei’s face then turned towards Li Yue. His face soon became ugly. By saying that they will press charges against Li Yue, he was also saying technically saying that they will do the same for Lizzy too! "Of course!" He immediately assured Li Weiwei. How could he lose face in front of his students? The administrator was already bathing in a righteous light, he couldn’t stop now!

"Then good!" Li Weiwei said. "So long as you know it!"

"Alright... please bring her belongings here. The search will be done in public. Miss Li, please follow these two guides to their tent, they will search your body. Here is the image of the bracelet. Please remember it." The administrator said as they started to search for the bracelet. Seeing this, Li Yue sneered and followed the two guides. Those people can search everywhere but she was sure they will never be able to find that bracelet again. Not when it was already in her six inches big spatial storage. Soon, a sinister smile bloomed on her face.
