After Tang Wan finished speaking, the entire living room was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.
Even Tang Mo and a few of her classmates understood the hint. Even when they were acting all brazen and impudent, Tang Wan wasn't a wimp at all.
She was merely waiting for the right time to strike.
And when she did, one would shiver with fear.
***
At this time, the police had arrived and the maids answered the door.
The bodyguards had originally been guarding the door, but now they retreated behind Jiang Jinshang.
"The person who reported the case is..." the leading policeman entered the house. There were six people in the group. After all, it was the Tang family who reported the theft, so they had specially brought a few more people.
"It's me." Tang Wan stood up and walked over, explaining the situation to them briefly.
"The item was indeed lost. Actually, you can't be sure whether it was lost or stolen." Even if the police wanted to make a search, they needed a reason first.
"Now that the item is gone, it wasn't too expensive either. I feel bad that you had to come over. It's just that only this group of teens have entered my room today. They're also my sister's friends.
"They're innocent. I will not allow them to leave the house with stains on them.
"There are some things that are inappropriate for me to do. You are the better candidate. I believe you'll return their innocence."
Jiang Jinshang sat at the side, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She's good at spewing nonsense.
"Everyone is here? "The police looked around, and their gaze fell on Jiang Jinshang.
"He's not a suspect. He's just a friend of mine. When he came in, the crime had already been committed," Tang Wan explained hurriedly.
"Alright then. If the stolen goods are with anyone, take them out now. Otherwise, we'll have to search you one by one." The police officer did not want to do a thorough search. It was quite troublesome, so it would be good if someone took the initiative to come clean with their wrongdoings.
After saying this, there was no movement in the living room.
"Miss Tang, please tell us what you lost..."
After listening to Tang Wan's description, the police asked the students who had entered Tang Wan to step forward. At this moment, a girl's legs went weak as she sat on the couch, her body shaking violently..
The police's eyes were still sharp. "Miss, please stand up!"
His voice was sharp and deep, scaring the girl so much that her mind went blank. The bag in her hand was also snatched away, and a pair of emerald-tinted lotus earrings fell out.
"This is the one!" Madam Chen said immediately.
"I didn't want to steal it. I just thought it looked good. I... I just wanted to take a look." The girl's eyes were red with anxiety.
In front of a group of policemen and the strange gazes of the surrounding students, any kind of explanation was useless.
"Ms. Tang, how much is your earring worth?" The police officer asked.
"It's probably more than ten thousand dollars." It looked like it wasn't cheap.
"Then this is considered a huge sum of money. We can use it to sentence her crime."
"Officer..." the girl could no longer hold back her tears.
"You're not young anymore, Miss. Did you bring your student ID card and ID card?"

The rest of the matters were under the police's jurisdiction. Tang Wan did not really intend to let her go to jail. However, a minor punishment was still necessary. She would get the police to take her back and lock her up for a few days so that she could learn a lesson.
The matter then came to an end. Tang Wan also apologized to the other students and asked them to stay a little while longer.
"... we still have something to do at school. We'll be leaving first."
They were already scared out of their wits. They hurriedly ran out, not even bothering to greet Tang Mo...
Bang!
After the students and the police left, the entire Tang family quieted down. The servants were busy tidying up the pastries and used teacups on the coffee table. Tang Mo stood at the side with her eyes red.
She did not expect that her classmate would really dare to steal things in passing.
Her body was stiff from all the accumulated anger.
"Fifth Master, thank you so much. The house is a bit messy right now and we can't entertain you. I originally wanted to give you some specialty pastries, but I didn't expect..."
Jiang Jinshang looked at the boxes of unopened pastries on the coffee table and had an idea.
"Are you packing up to return?" He immediately changed the topic.
"Yes, grandfather has returned. I'm packing up and will be there soon."
"I have something to tell Old Master Tang. I'll go with you later. Go pack, I'll wait for you outside." After saying that, he left with his people.
Tang Wan had just asked him for help, and now he was going to send her off, so it was hard for her to refuse. She pursed her lips and looked at Tang Mo, "Momo, don't you want to help me pack my things? Come up with me."
The few maids of the Tang family watched the two of them walk upstairs and were so scared that they didn't dare to say anything. However, someone secretly called Zhang Liyun and told her the situation.
Tang Wan did not bring Tang Mo into her bedroom. Instead, she stopped at the door.
"Actually, it's good to be smart, but don't be so quick-witted and treat others as fools.
"Ever since you entered our house, you've been playing tricks behind my back to annoy me. I didn't hold it against you. I don't think it's necessary.
"It's just that I really hate it when people enter my room without permission and go through my things. I just wanted to tell you about today's incident...
"If I really want to take revenge and have my way with you, it's very easy. I can run you down whenever I want to.
"I don't live here, you do. It's considered a peaceful relationship. If you want to be the eldest daughter, it's none of my business. But I'm here now. Remember to tuck your tail between your legs."
Tang Mo stood at the door and watched as Tang Wan entered her room and packed her luggage. When she brushed past her, she felt a shiver down her spine.
In fact, she had been in the Tang family for ten years and had provoked and tested Tang Wan many times. However, there was not much reaction. Deep down, she thought Tang Wan was an easy target. That was why Zhang Liyun and her had the idea of marrying into the Jiang family.
Now, it seemed that her past acts was merely children's tricks in Tang Wan's eyes.
***
Jiang Jinshang sat in the car. The bodyguards, who were sitting in the front passenger seat, were still discussing Tang Wan's actions just now.
"Fifth Master, I feel that she reminds us of how you handle situations."
"Huh?" Jiang Jin rubbed his fingers. He seemed to be in a good mood.
"You know, you can easily return someone's aggression while they can nothing about it."
Simply put, he had ways in making sure the opposing party suffered a heavy loss.
His words were a little rough, but his reasoning was right.
"Am I that kind of person?"
The few of them laughed bitterly and changed the topic. "Fifth Master, why are we going to see Old Master Tang? Are we going to say that Ms. Tang rejected you and broke off the engagement between the two families?"
Jiang Jinshang glanced at him indifferently. With a murderous look, he was so scared that he shrank his neck.
Did he say anything wrong?
It's a fact that she rejected you. If you don't break off the engagement, what else do you want?
