Chapter 774: Chapter 774: The Crime of Stealing Chickens and Dogs, Still Can’t Be Clarified!

Discovering that Fan Yong had become a closed book, saying nothing except to assign work tasks to team members, Xi Rubao continued to message Zuzi:

"Hey, sis, I overthought things. I didn’t realize how much a family upheaval could impact someone. He used to be so jumpy and sharp-tongued before!"

Zuzi simply replied: "Yeah, life messes with people."

Ordinary people can’t predict what they’ll encounter in the next second.

Xi Rubao diligently participated in the college competition preparations. As a freshman, doing well in activities like these counted towards her end-of-term performance scores, allowing her to compete for scholarships, with the highest being the Principal Special Award worth 88,000.

She worked hard to earn some money.

Whatever odd jobs Fan Yong and the seniors assigned, she was willing to do, even sterilizing surgical instruments, which was the most tedious and exhausting work, she didn’t refuse.

Everyone saw her as delicate and charming, yet they were surprised at how capable she was when working. They began to view her differently and really liked her.

While busy—

Suddenly, they heard a commotion from the group next door, where Chu Qiaoen and Sun Yunyun were shouting:

"Aunt, is your jewelry missing?"

"I remember that Jade Bracelet, you lent it to Pingting before, Pingting, right?"

"Who took Aunt... Teacher Gu’s bracelet? Hurry and bring it out; it’s really expensive, and you can’t afford to pay if it’s broken!"

"If no one admits it, we’ll conduct a body search, a body search!"

In the adjacent group, Gu Shiyin was instructing them on preparing for the first match, and it seemed something was unintentionally lost.

Xi Rubao pursed her lips: "Exaggerating!"

And continued focusing on her own work.

Little did she know, the turmoil soon spread to her group.

Chu Qiaoen and Sun Yunyun, with group members in tow, approached aggressively: "Someone from your group took Teacher Gu’s bracelet? Someone saw you wearing a bracelet, show us your hands, or we’ll search your bodies!"

Gu Shiyin hurried over with small steps, speaking softly: "Qiao En, Yun Yun, don’t scare the children. If someone truly liked it, I’d just give it to her..."

"Aunt, that’s not okay! Your jewelry starts at hundreds of thousands, who’d be so shameless as to take so much money!"

Chu Qiaoen was brimming with a sense of justice.

Even Sun Yunyun was taken aback, thinking she never got that much money from her Aunt, at most a pair of shoes: "Such expensive jewelry, don’t you feel ashamed to steal it? Doing something like this just upon entering college, it’s truly a disgrace to the Medical College..."

As she spoke, her sharp eyes caught Xi Rubao rolling up her sleeves to sterilize surgical knives. The tender, fair wrist adorned with a brilliant green Jade Bracelet stood out conspicuously.

She shrieked, pointing: "Xi Rubao, on Xi Rubao’s hand! Xi Rubao, how shameless of you to steal Aunt’s bracelet!"

Chu Qiaoen immediately led people to surround her: "Return the bracelet, you township girl, turns out the poor have short ambitions, country folks love sneaking and thieving, bringing these bad habits to the Medical College!"

Xi Rubao was doing her work just fine, and out of nowhere, she was scolded relentlessly, making her angry: "Who stole your bracelet? This bracelet clearly begged me to take it in!"

Xi Rubao initially hadn’t heard clearly what they lost.

And now, she finally realized it was that darned Beauty Jade Bracelet, suddenly remembering it was indeed on her.

But she hadn’t stolen it; the truth was, the bracelet clung to her and wouldn’t leave, constantly tempting her to do bad things. To prevent harm to others, she kept the darned thing.

So what she said was the absolute truth.

But, in the ears of others, that’s not how it sounded—
