Chapter 139 Proposing a Search
Chapter 139 Proposed search
Author: Emei Swordsman
Without finding Ruyi from Cheng Yan's book box, Gu Mingan seemed not surprised at all and said carelessly:
"After all, the bookcase is too obvious. Only fools think about hiding the stolen things here. It took only one night from last night to this morning, and there was no time to sell Ruyi. The things should still be in the mansion. Why don't we go to the guest room where Mr. Cheng lives?"
Gu Yunji's eyes darkened when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice: "My cousin Ming'an, you should be more cautious in speaking. Public searches not only damage Cheng Yan's reputation, but also easily cause criticism. This shouldn't be my Gu family's way of treating guests, right?"
He knew that Gu Mingan's fuss today was so big that he must not just be looking for something in school. Searching Cheng Yan's room, completely holding the stuffed pot of stealing things on his head, and trampling on his self-esteem, was probably Gu Mingan's real purpose.
Gu Mingan mobilized many people to make this matter known. Even if nothing was found in the end, Cheng Yan's stigma was still unclear.
He was invited to visit someone else's house, but was suspected of stealing something by the owner. This is a great personality insult to anyone, not to mention Cheng Yan, a poor man who is about to participate in the provincial examination. If he is not careful, this matter will become a shadow that will accompany him throughout his life.
And if Cheng Yan's charge of theft is really confirmed, the consequences will be even worse...
Thinking of this, Gu Yunji looked at Gu Mingan with a little cold look, and his voice was chilling: "It's you who want to go through the book box, and it's you who want to search the room. You can do whatever you say. You can't just lose something, we have to follow you in everything, right?"
"It's not the only one who lives in Gu's house. Huaishao's cousin, and I, Gu Yunji, we all have opportunities to commit crimes. Why don't you say you're searching our rooms, but you just want to search Cheng Yan's room? Didn't you see that he was from a poor family and had no backer, and you thought he was easy to bully!"
Gu Mingan was not annoyed, and a sarcastic arc curled up at the corner of his mouth: "Cousin Yunji, why are you anxious? I didn't say it was only targeting Cheng Yan. Since you all have the chance to commit crimes, your room will naturally be searched, but it's just starting with Cheng Yan, after all, he is the most suspicious."
"The most suspicious? Haha." Gu Yunji was almost angry and laughed, "You have no evidence in your hands, and there is no physical evidence. Why do you say that Cheng Yan is the most suspicious? You really come out."
Gu Mingan spread his hands, looking as if he was taken for granted: "Isn't this very obvious? I had a relationship with Cheng Yan before, so he felt resentful to me because of this. It is not impossible to take revenge. This time Ruyi lost, his suspicion was of the greatest."
Gu Yunji snorted coldly: "Judge a gentleman with the heart of a villain! Do you think everyone is like you, and you will be vengeful and vengeful? So much is just your subjective conjecture. In fact, you can't get any real evidence."
"Hey, Master Yun Ji, you can't say that." Wu Qimo interrupted locally, "Who said that there is no real evidence to make a subjective guess? Now the left and right can't find a thief who steals Ruyi. What's wrong with a bold guess? This is also considered to be a reasonable doubt."
"Cheng Yan's family is poor and has a marriage with Gu Ming'an. If he steals this wish, he can not only destroy Gu Ming'an's student fortune, but also sell it for money. No matter how you look at this logic, it makes sense. Isn't it normal for us to suspect him first?"
Gu Yunji said: "According to what you said, can I reasonably doubt that today's episode was directed and acted by Gu Ming'an, who will work with you to frame Cheng Yan?"
Wu Qimo's eyebrows were straight: "Nonsense! What evidence do you have?"
Gu Yunji's expression remained unchanged and immediately retorted: "Who said that without evidence, you can't make a bold guess?"
"You! You, you are really..." Wu Qimo was caught by him and became angry for a moment, but he couldn't think of how to refute it. He jumped for a long time without saying a complete sentence, and his face turned red with anger.
Gu Mingan stepped forward and pulled Wu Qimo behind him, looking at Gu Yunji with a calm face, his tone was unquestionable: "Gu Yunji, we can't tell you if you are sharp-tongued. But based on all the signs, Cheng Yan is indeed the most suspected person at present. In any case, I have searched his room today."
After saying that, without waiting for Gu Yunji and the others to react, Gu Mingan made a move to take everyone out of the school.
"Gu Ming'an, you dare!" Gu Yunji's aura suddenly became fierce and he shouted coldly, "Cheng Yan is the guest I invited to the Gu family. Now I haven't agreed, and Cheng Yan hasn't agreed. What qualifications do you have to search his room!"
Gu Mingan was immediately angry by this sentence. He turned around and grabbed Gu Yunji's collar and stared at his eyes hatefully: "Gu Yunji! What qualifications do you have to talk to me like this! Don't forget that this is in my Gu family, not in your Huating Gu family! A small concubine's son really treats himself as his master?"
Gu Yunji is now seventeen years old and is no longer the thin boy who is powerless. He grabbed Gu Ming'an's wrist and struggled hard, and easily shook his hand holding his collar.
Seeing that the other party was about to step forward again, a cold light flashed in Gu Yunji's eyes. He was about to raise his elbow and punch him, but a powerful palm with clear joints behind him grabbed the collar of his clothes: "Yunji, goodbye."
Cheng Yan's face was pale, with blood on his lips. Under his slightly trembling eyelashes, a pair of ink-colored eyes were filled with emotions, as if he was unwilling and angry, as if he was embarrassed and hatred, intertwined and rolled up like a terrifying wave.
Inadvertently, his eyes met, and the young man's eyes were as deep as if he was about to suck someone in. Gu Yunji couldn't help but be stunned and stopped his movements by chance.
Perhaps because of the silence for too long, Cheng Yan's voice sounded a little dry: "It's not worth it to fight him for a moment, and it's not worth it. Since they have to hold me to me, it's useless to stop you. It's better to fulfill their wish and let them search carefully, and I'll have to clean it up."
Gu Yunji was hesitant and hesitated: "But..."
On one side is cousin Gu Ming'an, and on the other side is cousin Gu Yunji. Gu Huaishao couldn't help either side, so he was stuck in the middle and was in a dilemma. Seeing that Cheng Yan finally expressed his opinion, he hurried over to help and said, "Yes, Yunji, just let them search. If nothing is found, then he will naturally be able to clear Cheng Yan's innocence."
Gu Yunji was silent when he heard this and did not speak for a long time.
He didn't understand this truth, but now the initiative is in Gu Ming'an's hands. He has the final say whether he searches or not. Even if he doesn't find anything at that time, if he insists on making trouble, Cheng Yan will have no choice.
It’s not that you can’t search, but that you can’t search by Gu Ming’an. At least someone should be witnessed by you to avoid Gu Ming’an from doing anything, but this person hasn’t arrived yet...
"What the hell is going on? What's lost?"
