Chapter 271: You Thieving Scoundrel!

Her posture was casual and nonchalant; her thin lips parted as she gently spat out two words, “I didn’t.”
She did not give Lu Ning any chance to explain herself, and after asking her this she did not say anything else. Glaring at her, she turned around and raised her hand and called for two junior teachers.
“One of you, go to the surveillance room to check the surveillance cameras. The other one, go to Class 9 and get Lu Ning’s bag.”
Lù Yue’an surreptitiously pinched Zhao Lingling’s arm, and Zhao Lingling instantly added, “Don’t just take Lu Ning’s bag! What if you can’t find it? Bring everyone’s bags from her class!”
Just as the discipline master was about to speak, Lu Ning suddenly spoke up. This was the first time she took the initiative to speak since she was identified as a thief.
Her voice was neither loud nor soft, neither fast nor slow, and reached everyone’s ears. “There’s no need for that. Don’t involve the innocent, just bring mine. I believe you’ll have a satisfactory outcome.”
When she said the last sentence, she glanced at Lù Yue’an. Lù Yue’an met her gaze and subconsciously frowned.
What does she mean by that?
Lu Ning even smiled at her before looking away, at the discipline master.
The discipline master was close to being flustered to death by her sloppiness.
“You two, hurry up and go!”
Lu Ning’s words were meant for Lù Yue’an, but those who did not know the truth and believed Lu Ning felt that Lu Ning was really innocent. She had really done nothing, which was why she was so frank and straightforward.
However, they had forgotten one thing. If it could not be found in Lu Ning’s bag, their bags would be searched. However, Lu Ning stopped them from taking their bags and even said something so leading. To put it bluntly, she meant that the person who framed her would have a satisfactory outcome.
What was this satisfactory result? It meant that, in the end, the bracelet would definitely be found in her bag.
Most people did not think too much about it, so they did not realize this. However, Lin Ci, who had been sitting beside Lu Ning, noticed.
She turned to look at Lu Ning. Lu Ning sensed her gaze and turned towards her, giving her a reassuring smile.
Lin Ci was still a little worried, but Lu Ning did not say anything. She would believe her for the time being; if she really could not take it anymore, she would do something herself.
Lù Chuan suddenly took two steps forward and looked at Lu Ning with a frown. “Ning’ning, did you really not take it? If you did, just bring it out now. Mommy and Daddy won’t blame you, and An’an won’t hold it against you either.”
Hearing this, Gu Zi could not help but sneer at him. Gu Chen glanced at Lu Ning, a little worried. He was not worried about how things would turn out, but rather, that Lù Chuan’s words would upset Lu Ning.
Regardless of what Lù Chuan’s motive was, it was very inappropriate for him to say this now. Whether Lu Ning took it or not, he believed that Lu Ning had taken it. In everyone’s eyes, she had been labeled a thief.
Lin Ci stared at Lù Chuan in disbelief. <i>How does his brain even work? To say such things at this time—even if he wanted to make Lu Ning feel that he was protecting her, his words actually had the opposite effect.
His words cornered Lu Ning into a dead end. No matter how she got out of this situation, she would still be a thieving scoundrel who had stolen someone’s things!
When Lù Chuan heard Gu Zi sneering, he even looked up at him. Gu Zi’s personality was such that he would have long started mocking and scolding people; however, in order not to ruin Lu Ning’s plans, he could only let his laughter out; the rest of his words were kept hidden in his heart. Honestly, it
was a little uncomfortable for him..
