Return of the Soldier King Chapter 83 Call the Police

"If it's not about money, I will help you settle this myself. For now, leave him alone." Lin Qingwan waved her hands, temporarily suppressing the matter.

"I've heard about you from my dad. I know you are famous in business, so if you say you can settle this, I'll believe you this time. You have to help me catch the thief and drive him out of our university!"

Chen Qun's father, Chen Zeping, was Lin Qingwan's competitor in business, and he had lost a lot of lucrative deals to her.

Since she promised to settle the matter for him, she would either recover his stolen money or fail and lose face, so as far as Chen Qun was concerned, there was no downside.

With the commotion temporarily subsided, Lin Qingwan sat in her seat and whispered to Ye Fei, "Do you know who the thief is?"

He glanced at her. "Manager Lin, do you think I am Sherlock Holmes? Even Sherlock Holmes has to conduct an investigation first. I'm not a fortune teller."

"I know you can do it. That poor boy is so pitiful, we have to help him." Lin Qingwan's facial expression suddenly changed and she said in a cutesy voice, "I'll owe you a favor... Won't you help the boy?"

"Well, Manager Lin, I am ready to help him. Here's the plan..."

…

It was almost time for class, and nearly all the students were present.

Chen Qun seized the opportunity. Knowing the teacher would enter the classroom any minute now, he walked to the podium and loudly knocked on the table. "Everyone, Be quiet!"

Soon, everyone was looking at him expectantly.

"An unpleasant occurrence has happened in our class this morning, and I think it's necessary to let everyone know about it." Chen Qun cleared his throat and deliberately glanced at Lin Qingwan before slowly recounting his story.

Of course, he did not fail to mention how Zhao Hao had stayed in the classroom alone during the morning's PE class.

There was no doubt that after hearing his words, all the students were looking to Zhao Hao. Everyone was of the same mind: Zhao Hao was the thief.

After all, he was always alone and he was the poorest and most eccentric student in class. If someone stole the money, then it would most likely be Zhao Hao. Not to mention, he was alone in the classroom when the money was stolen.

Zhao Hao flattened his head on his desk, trying to bury himself under his hands.

It was not easy for him to come out of a remote and poor mountain village. These big city youths could not imagine the conditions he grew up in. In this luxurious city, in this well-known national university, he did not have a single friend and did not feel any sense of camaraderie with his classmates.

To be honest, it was a kind of torment for him to study there, but Zhao Hao had gradually become accustomed to the contempt and ridicule.

No matter what happened, he had to graduate for the sake of his parents, who worked hard to save up for his living expenses.

However, if he were accused of thievery, the university would certainly expel him.

Zhao Hao was so scared that he could only lie paralyzed on the table, the image of his parents' disappointed eyes haunting his mind. He couldn't stop his tears flowing out.

Now, the entire classroom was riled up against him.

"He was sneaking around every day, he must have stolen the money."

"Right, it must be him. Who else would bother with two hundred Yuan?"

"I've had a few things go missing. My dictionary, my thermos, and so on. It must have been Zhao Hao."

Chen Qun stood on the podium silently, looking at Lin Qingwan. He just wanted to know how she would react.

"Be quiet!" Lin Qingwan stood up and shouted. "You say he stole the money, but do you have any evidence? If not, you're just framing a good kid!"

"Miss Lin, I remember you saying you could solve this case." Chen Qun stared at Lin Qingwan haughtily. "What's the matter? Why you are so angry now? If you can't handle, why not let your bodyguard give it a go?"

Ye Fei originally didn't want to talk. He was only observing each student's behavior, trying to capture the subtle hints of their body language to infer their inner thoughts, but now that Chen Qun mentioned him by name, he had to say something.

"There's no point in guessing now. Let's talk about evidence." Ye Fei stood up and loudly announced, "I have just called the police. The cops will be here soon. I noticed there is a security camera in the corridor outside the classroom, which I'm sure will tell us who, if any, went into the classroom during the PE class."

The class became abruptly silent as everyone stared at Ye Fei. He actually called the police over two hundred Yuan!

If the police caught him, the thief would be immediately expelled.

After a moment, the room was filled raucous chatter once more as everyone discussed this new development.

"That's right, we should call the police. The security footage will clearly show who the thief was!" said one boy, still mercilessly staring at Zhao Hao.

"Two hundred Yuan is not enough to go to jail over, but... with such a bad character, the university will certainly expel him."

"Yeah, we have to drive the thief out of our university!"

The students clamored loudly to impose theirs judgments on the hidden thief. Most of them had lost things, so they could not feel safe as long as the perpetrator was among them.

Ye Fei did not care about the ruckus. He stood at the back of the classroom, carefully observing the students' expressions. Finally, his eyes locked onto a beautiful girl.

The beautiful class monitor, Ling Susu!
