Those people who knew about the situation were holding their breath and waiting for the arrival of the climax. Additionally, some of them could not wait to see Missy Yun’s anger in the next moment.
Suddenly, Qin Wushuang laughed: "Missy Yun, I suggest you not open this suitcase. The things inside are unpleasant."
Qin Wushuang then scratched his face and "blushed." However, his actions only drew more suspicion toward him since people thought that he must have an ulterior motive.
“Open it, open it. Something is inside.” The crowd booed.
A coldness flashed as Yun Qingyan raised her arm and revealed a sharp dagger. With another flash of coldness, she slashed at that suitcase. Hua la!
The suitcase broke in half and revealed a bunch of goods such as dirty socks, old clothes, tattered blanket… It had everything!
A trace of a wilful smile emerged on the edge of Qin Wushuang’s mouth. He looked at the group of martial art students that had wanted to see his embarrassment and muttered to himself in a mocking tone: "Oh, it's a shame that I have let you all down."
Yun Qingyan’s eyes swept across the goods but did not find the things she was looking for. She could not help but crease her brows, she walked out and murmured in annoyance: "You boys, do all of you not care about your hygiene?"
Both Xu Ting and Zhang Xian looked dumbfounded. They sternly stared at Li Fei questioningly, how come the stolen goods were not inside that suitcase?
Li Fei was also stunned. He had put in the goods himself. How could they have flown away in the blink of an eye?
Qin Wushuang laughed and commented sarcastically: "Seriously, it was not easy for me to organize these old goods. Are you are not going to help me re-organize them? You have no manners at all! It seems that you have learned nothing from aristocratic etiquette."
Initially, Yun Qingyan was extremely annoyed. When she heard Qin Wushuang’s complaints, she instantly turned around and stared at him with a pair of stern eyes and warned him: "Qin Wushuang, we are not done with tonight's business!"
Qin Wushuang twitched his mouth and said: "Does it has anything to do with me whether you have unfinished business or not? Still, we had an agreement; you must search everyone else's dorm since you have already searched mine."
With an arrogant attitude, he assuredly locked the door, joined the search team and followed Yun Qingyan's lead.
Xu Ting was somewhat suspicious when he had taken the initiative and joined them. He felt rather strange about this incident, but could not figure out another way to deal with it.
Of course, they had found nothing after they’d searched one dorm room after another.
At last, after another round, only four or five rooms still remained unsearched.
One of the dorms was a forbidden place. That place was called the Number One dorm in the academy. Even Yun Qingyan and Xu Ting had to be careful and acted as though they were walking on eggshells when they were walking past.
Because the owner in that Number One room was someone they would never dare to provoke. Represented as the supreme authority figure in River County, he was a genius from the Venerated Da Xi family.
However, Qin Wushuang was tired and indolent. He spoke with a lighthearted tone when they walked past that room: "Missy Yun, we still haven't searched this room. Why did we miss it? Could it be that our Missy Yun only has the power to bully the weak? And Young Master Xu, Young Master Zhang, weren't you all boasting a moment ago? Why have you all turned into scaredy-cats?”
Zhang Xian threatened him in a small voice: "Qin Wushuang, you are asking for a lesson!”
“Ha ha, each and every one of you are terrified. Young Master Da Xi does not live in the dorm. You should have seen your cowardly face. All of you are an embarrassment to aristocrats."
With a roar of laughter, Qin Wushuang had already walked toward the next dorm. He glanced at the door of that dorm, went up and smelled it: "Who lives in this dorm? There seems to be a trace of a fragrance? Could a girl be in there?”
He was pretending to be stupid; Xu Ting lived in this dorm. Qin Wushuang’s action was like criticizing baldies to a monk.
Right now, Xu Ting wanted to keep his cool before Yun Qingyan, so he answered drily: “I live in this dorm. Qin Wushuang, I am an honest man. You are slinging mud at me, be careful that I don’t sue you for accusing an upper-class aristocrat.”
"Whether I’m slandering you or not, we shall know after the search, right? Who doesn't know how to self-proclaim? A straight foot is not afraid of a crooked shoe, weren't you the one that said these words a moment ago? How come you are not emboldened when it's your turn? Missy Yun, you should figure out which of us is the one that harbors ill intentions."
No matter how much he could tolerate, Xu Ting was a teenager after all. His face slightly changed and he said: "Qin Wushuang, what are you trying to say with your groundless talk?”
"Missy Yun, you are both from the aristocratic families. If you want to shelter him and not search him, then there is nothing we can do," Qin Wushuang smiled provokingly.
Yun Qingyan glanced at Xu Ting for she was somewhat hesitant. In fact, she felt that Xu Ting was not that kind of person. However, under this circumstance, she would not be saving face for the Wealthy Class Xu if she searched. On the other hand, if she did not search, it would be difficult to stop everyone from talking.
"Missy Yun, go ahead and search if you want. Everyone in the academy knows what kind of person I am."
Qin Wushuang yawned to the sky and said: “Don’t brag too early. It's not too late to talk big if nothing is found in the search. Or else, you will lose face if you cannot take back the words you’ve said."
Then, as if he wanted to please Yun Qingyan, he opened the all the doors from the inside to the outside.
Yun Qingyan stared at Qing Wushuang, and gave a sneer: "Let's search, what is there to protect? You think I am scared?"
She then walked in and casually looked around, turning things over to cope with the hundreds of eyes that were staring.
She walked to the bed closet and opened a crack as if performing a regular duty.
When she looked inside, Yun Qingyan was stunned.
The doors of the closet, following the force of momentum, opened both sides and exposed the entire contents of the closet.
It was colorful and filled with a superb collection of beautiful things, as all the girls’ undergarments hung inside the closet!
Yun Qingyan's face turned ashen. She was filled with annoyance and embarrassment because one of the underwear and bras that she had just washed was there in Xu Ting's closet!
Astonished, Yun Qingyan turned to look at Xu Ting, and her eyes were no longer peaceful. Instead, they were full of contempt and anger. Next, she dragged those clothes out and dumped them on Xu Ting's face.
Meaningful glances were like sharp-edged knives. At any time, it could jump up and hurt people.
Qin Wushuang laughed willfully; then he gave a long sigh with a grave face, he walked through the crowd.
The show had reached a crucial moment. Qin Wushuang would be exposed if he continued to play along. Then, with "a stern and just tone", he left a single word: "Pervert!"
Then with a face of grief and indignation, he walked toward his dorm while swearing along the way.
He muttered as he walked: “Now I know, the highest level of a thief is when the thief himself rallies to catch the thief. Usually, they appear suave, but I did not expect him to be a pervert!”
Xu Ting was stunned by this scene. He stood there motionless as if his whole body had been shocked by electricity, he did not notice the pink underwear that hung on his chest. The scene appeared as if he had seen a ghost in which he had lost his senses.
Only when Yun Qingyan had walked past him in disdain, did Xu Ting wake up. He yelled hysterically: “I didn’t do it!”
However, under the circumstances, he had been caught with the stolen goods. Who would believe him even if he grew two mouths?
Zhang Xian and his people knew the truth but did not understand how these things had run over to Xu Ting’s place. They were forced to suffer bitterly in silence!
Right now, of course, Qin Wushuang was the one that was having the most fun. He had caught the right timing before and had put these stolen goods inside Xu Ting’s closet when he had gone out. Then, he had quietly gone back to his dorm.
His present skills were naturally more than enough if he wanted to hide his movements from these martial art students.
Of course, Xu Ting was the most depressed. It was the saying goes “Go for wool and come back shorn.?
If he had wanted to describe it with much more bluntly, it was to “Drop the stone on his own feet.”
An even plainer description would be to “Bury himself in the hole he had dug…”
Immediately, the news about how Xu Ting had stolen the girls’ undergarments spread out through various channels. It was pointless no matter how much he tried to block the news.
After all, no matter how much power Xu Ting had, he could not cover the entire sky of the Martial Arts Academy.
The higher-ups of the academy were shocked as well. The officials were heavily besieged on all sides. On the one hand, they had to mollify the girls' anger, and on the other, they needed to address Xu Ting's mood. At the same time, they also had to protect the reputation of the Martial Arts Academy.
The higher-up officials organized an investigation team on the night and participated in drafting the evidence and testimonials. In the end, they arrived at a result–
Xu Ting did not do it; others had framed him.
The reasons were simple. At the time of the incident, Xu Ting had been training with a few other martial art students. He had the perfect alibi.
Moreover, those martial art students defended Xu Ting and somewhat relieved his situation.
Of course, most people wanted to review the attitudes of the officials when they had announced the result. As for the method they had used to handle the situation; most people were contemptuous of it.
Who would believe this kind of clumsy statement?
Those martial art boys that had testified for Xu Ting, weren't all of them his buddies? It was highly possible that they had falsified the evidence. Of course, the officials of the academy were the ones that set the rules. If they wanted to shelter Xu Ting, then you could only complain secretly.
Of course, the girls were not satisfied with the results of the investigation. Thus, they went on a strike and demanded the higher-ups of the academy to give them a better answer.
Jin Buyi wanted to cry. In one night, one-third of the hair on his temple had turned white…
