102 - To Catch a Turtle in a Jar (2/2)

”Qiao Hongye is likely an accomplice. She is currently in the third alley opposite our apartment complex watching us. If you called for property management, she would find out about it immediately. Then she would inform the robber inside which would lead to the robber's escape, at that time we would definitely be unable to catch the culprit. Follow my instructions, the both of you should pretend that you have recognized Qiao Hongye as someone familiar to impede her. This would stop her from informing the robber. I'll be watching the robber on this side and wait for the cops to arrive.” Jing Yunzhao instructed.

When she finished, Su Chu was flabbergasted, ”Qiao Hongye is an accomplice? It can't be!”

Even though she had not interacted much with Qiao Hongye, the other students had all said that she was a very gentle person. How could she be the accomplice?

Jing Yunzhao knew that these two would not believe her, so she told them bluntly, ”The person I saw just now is called Cao Xing. He's a hooligan. In the past, weren't there a bunch of people trying to block and intercept me at the school gate? Five out of the six of them have been caught, Cao Xing is the boss of those group of hooligans and had escaped.”

With those words, Su Chu was even more shocked.

She would never have thought that Qiao Hongye was someone like this!

She did not have any favorable impression towards Qiao Hongye, but she also had no resentment or animosity towards her. Thus, she did not really pay attention to her. However, it was still difficult to imagine that beneath that mask of a pretty girl from a humble family, was a girl filled with such malevolent schemes!

”You mean that Qiao Hongye was the mastermind behind you being involved with those hooligans?” Gan Jinchen also felt that all his world had been turned upside down.

He and Qiao Hongye were both members of the Student Committee and usually interacted with each other quite often. Honestly speaking, he didn't really like Qiao Hongye. He had always had a bad feeling about her. Her expressions often bring him discomfort, which was why he had always distanced himself away from her. He was never like the other guys who always stayed close to her.

”That's right, other than harassing me with hooligans, the rumors this time also originated from her.” Jing Yunzhao told them the truth.

”But … Why does she need someone to steal our things? It's not like it will do her any good?” Su Chu could not understand.

”The truth is, I have in my hands a Ginseng root that is worth a considerable amount of money and she had recently found out about it. I had already seen her scouting the area nearby this morning, that's why I especially took you guys out for dinner tonight. Rather than waiting to be caught off guard by the opponent, why not just create an opportunity to catch them red-handed. I'm very sorry. There were actually these ulterior motives mixed with treating you guys to dinner this time.”
