Xin Yuelu stumbled back several steps, unable to accept it.
She suddenly remembered what Lu Mian had said, "You shouldn't have done this," which wasn't Lu Mian's attempt at consolation but a warning to her, Xin Yuelu.
For once the Netherman was exposed, it meant she'd fall from her pedestal!
Lu Mian had said, "As you wish," but this wasn't the outcome she desired.
Not at all!
Pan Jiancheng's words instantaneously elevated Lu Mian to an unprecedented height.
People worship the strong, submitting to them, as it is in their nature.
Hence, the ones who had just been clamoring to catch the thief with evidence in hand were now looking up to Lu Mian with the utmost reverence, casting soul-searching questions.
"Miss Lu, how did you manage to do it?"
"Please teach us, Miss Lu!"
"Can you explain what exactly happened, Miss Lu? Haven't you just arrived here a few days ago?"
The crowd was shocked yet again.
