Although Xue Xi’s actions looked light and she seemingly only placed her hand on Mrs. Qin’s shoulders, only the latter knew how strong this girl was. She could not break free no matter how she tried.

Mrs. Qin could only stare at her while fuming. “This is our family’s matter. A little girl like you shouldn’t meddle in our affairs!”

Just as she said that, the force on her shoulders intensified and she felt as if her bones were going to be crushed. She could only let go of Qin Shuang.

When Qin Shuang obtained freedom again, she subconsciously hid behind Sister Xi, who was “adept at fighting.”

Mrs. Qin wanted to grab her but was urged by Old Liu, “Mrs. Qin, keep your cool. We looked for you to settle the problem so don’t start a fight. Moreover, this issue isn’t so serious that there’s a need for anyone to be suspended from school.”

Stealing money was a serious matter to an 18-year-old, and getting demerit points was considered the least severe punishment.

However, Old Liu felt pity toward Qin Shuang. If she were to be brought away like this, her whole life would be ruined.

He seamlessly stood in between Xue Xi and Mrs. Qin. He was afraid that Mrs. Qin would hit the class’ obedient, sensible, and seemingly feeble Xue Xi, so he shielded her from the front.

Mrs. Qin wanted to push Old Liu aside. “Mr. Liu, please move aside and don’t defend Qin Shuang. Hasn’t she been doing things like this? Let me tell you, it’s been a long time since I’ve been bothered about her and I just pretend that I don’t have a daughter like her. Now that she dared to slander Qin Lu, I won’t let her off easily! She has been like this since she was a child. Not only does she not study well, but she wants to bring her sister down too!”

Old Liu stopped her anxiously. “Mrs. Qin, calm down…”

Seeing them quarreling, Xue Xi spoke slowly, and her calm and clear voice was heard by everyone in the office. “So, you’re certain that Qin Shuang did it?”

Mrs. Qin was stunned before nodding. “Yes.”

Xue Xi replied, “…Oh. Then we can only call the police.”

“…”

That one sentence made the office quieten down.

Mrs. Qin stopped acting crazy and looked at Xue Xi in disbelief. She then shot a glance at Qin Shuang. “Call the police? Don’t you know how Qin Shuang will end up if you call the police? She is an adult and needs to go to jail for stealing money!”

Qin Shuang shot her a glance and found her both ridiculous and pathetic.

Since she was already on Qin Lu’s side and was sure that she was the villain, why did she have to pretend to care for her?

Her cheek was burning from the pain, but her heart, which she thought was already numbed, hurt even more!

Nobody fought to speak and Xue Xi could finally open her mouth. She analyzed the situation rationally without any feelings. “The criminal investigators have great means. Since the envelope had been under Qin Shuang’s desk until it fell out and she did not touch it, the police will be able to match the fingerprints on the envelope. That way, we can find out who the thief is.”

When she said this, Qin Lu, who had been sobbing, froze.

She lifted her head in disbelief, and when her eyes met Xue Xi’s, she felt those eyes had seen her through. For some unknown reason, Qin Lu shivered.
