Before Xun Dong could retort, several people started to make a commotion.
"I'm missing eight hundred."
"I'm short one thousand seven hundred."
"I'm short five thousand."
…
In no time, six or seven people have stepped forward, claiming they were short on money.
These individuals had just lost some money gambling and had conveniently found a scapegoat in Xun Dong, blaming all their losses on him. After all, he was caught stealing, so even if he tried to explain himself, no one would believe him.
First impressions last. Now, everyone present considered him a small-time thief.
"Well now, you've stolen so much money from everyone. No wonder you had enough money to gamble. It turns out it was all stolen. Fellas, check if Xun Dong has any other money on him. You can keep anything you find."
Upon hearing this, people surrounding him started to frantically search Xun Dong for money.
Their actions left Xun Dong stripped down to his underwear.
