Rebirth: I Am Not the Movie Queen This Time-Chapter 93: Reporting an Incident

Wan Chu’er held her phone high with one hand, out of Ma Tianjiao’s reach, then cast a sidelong glance at her and said coldly:

"You claim this Jade Pendant is yours, I say it’s mine, since we can’t agree, it’s best to let the police decide. Let’s see if it’s you who has sticky fingers or if I’m falsely accusing you. Having the police check isn’t the best?" freeweɓnøvel.com

"That’s right, Ma Tianjiao, what are you afraid of? If you’re so scared of the police, why don’t you just admit you’re a thief!" Lin Yufei said gloatingly from the side.

Seeing Wan Chu’er’s determination, Mai Qiqi then said to the counselor who wanted to stop the proceedings:

"Teacher, I think we should just report this to the police. Theft is not a small matter, and that piece of jade looks really valuable. If sold, I think it could fetch at least one hundred thousand yuan."

Mai Qiqi also had some knowledge, although she only had a quick glimpse just now, she could tell that the jade was of high-quality.

What? Is this piece of jade so valuable? The counselor’s eyes widened.

If that’s the case, then it is necessary for Wan Chu’er to call the police; that’s one hundred thousand yuan!

Ma Tianjiao’s mind was completely focused on stopping Wan Chu’er from calling the police and didn’t hear Mai Qiqi’s words, but Lin Yufei did, and she was also surprised. She took another hard look at the Jade Pendant in Wan Chu’er’s hand, thinking to herself that Wan Chu’er doesn’t show off, but casually owns such an expensive piece of jade.

Ma Tianjiao, both anxious and scared, ultimately feared that she would indeed be treated as a thief. If word got out, how could she still save face at school? And if this got back to her parents, they would probably lose face, too.

No way, she absolutely can’t let Wan Chu’er call the police!

Ma Tianjiao’s thoughts spun rapidly, she immediately softened her tone and put on a pitiful look, hands pressed together she pleaded:

"Wan Chu’er, I beg you not to call the police. If you say the jade is yours, then let it be yours, I won’t argue with you."

Ha, treating others like fools, her words are really ambiguous. If brought up later, it might still be Wan Chu’er who appears unreasonable.

Wan Chu’er snorted coldly: "Let’s have the police come and decide who it belongs to!"

Lin Yufei scoffed, "Ma Tianjiao, even at a time like this, you still want to play word games? Chu’er, I support you in calling the police!"

Seeing Ma Tianjiao still being cunning at this time, the counselor shook his head.

Ma Tianjiao hated Lin Yufei for kicking her while she was down and resented Wan Chu’er for her heartlessness. Gritting her teeth, she said fiercely:

"Alright, I admit it, I stole Wan Chu’er’s jade. There, I’ve done what you all wanted!" She looked as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Wan Chu’er narrowed her eyes and asked again, "Was it you who knocked over my desk? So the stuff from the drawer fell out, and then you picked up my Jade Pendant on impulse?"

Ma Tianjiao, giving up altogether, said, "I knocked it over. Who told you to bully me that day, to lock the dormitory door without waiting for me. I’ve admitted it, can we not call the police now?"

"You’re the one making excuses!" Lin Yufei curled her lips and thought to herself how such a fool could be admitted into the first university, there must be some backdoor deals involved.

The counselor sighed inwardly, this is probably what they call "high scores but low ability."

Wan Chu’er didn’t even bother to look at Ma Tianjiao anymore, considering how Ma Tianjiao had inexplicably mocked and ridiculed her over the past month, and even now being caught, she still had this sort of attitude.

In a word, she never took Wan Chu’er seriously from the bottom of her heart.

If she doesn’t teach her a lesson this time, she would probably have to endure Ma Tianjiao’s pretentiousness in the future, which, although was nothing serious, was indeed annoying.

So Wan Chu’er firmly pressed the call button.

After Wan Chu’er reported the theft, Ma Tianjiao still couldn’t believe it. She had confessed, and the Jade Pendant had already been returned to Wan Chu’er. Why couldn’t she let it go and had to call the police?

"Ah!" Ma Tianjiao screamed once again, hands clutching her head, in a fit of hysterical venting.

Mai Qiqi and others couldn’t help but cover their ears. Such a wolfish howl!

"Wan Chu’er, don’t you go too far. I’m already like this, why do you still have to call the police? Do you take pleasure in seeing me suffer?

We’re classmates, and we even share a dormitory. Can’t you have a bit of sympathy?

I was wrong, I truly was. Isn’t that enough?

Wan Chu’er, I’m begging you, make another call quickly and tell the police not to come."

Ma Tianjiao tried her best to control her panic, talking more and more fearfully, desperately making a last attempt at damage control.

Regrettably, Wan Chu’er remained unmoved.

She then turned to the others, pleading, "Teacher, please, help me out. Convince Wan Chu’er on my behalf. I didn’t do it on purpose, I just thought it looked nice, I was only joking with Wan Chu’er, please, ask her to cancel the police report."

"Lin Yufei, I know you’re tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Please, speak up for me, will you? Remember during military training, I helped cover for you when you slacked off."

"Mai Qiqi, I know you’re a good person. You wouldn’t want discord in our dorm, right?"

She went around, begging everyone in turn, but alas, no one responded to her.

It’s said: If you knew this day would come, why did you do it in the first place?

At home, her parents would pamper her, accepting all her good and bad, but outside, who would care about her? Society would only teach her how to behave with cold indifference.

Soon enough, the police arrived. The sound of the police car’s siren echoing through the campus and the uniformed officers attracted many onlookers, and dorm room 409 quickly filled with people.

Seeing the police, Ma Tianjiao’s face went ashen; she was scared out of her wits. She answered all the questions without daring any more tricks.

Wan Chu’er calmly recounted the incident, with testimonials from the counselor and Mai Qiqi among the four people present. The police took notes and then proceeded to take Ma Tianjiao away, intending to confiscate the Tiger Roar Jade Pendant.

Wan Chu’er clutched the Jade Pendant and asked, "Why are you taking my Jade Pendant?"

"This is stolen property, we need to take it for the record, and we also have to get someone to appraise it to determine its value for the case."

Wan Chu’er was taken aback, not expecting this turn of events. "When will it be returned to me?"

"Once the process is completed, it will naturally be returned to you."

Although Wan Chu’er was reluctant, she had chosen this path and could only trust the police.

Just as Wan Chu’er was about to hand the Jade Pendant to the police, suddenly, a hand intervened, and a distinctly boned large hand grabbed the Jade Pendant from Wan Chu’er’s outstretched hand.

Everyone looked up, and to their surprise, it was Jiang Kechu!

Before Wan Chu’er could even respond, she heard Jiang Kechu greeting the two accompanying policemen as if they were old acquaintances.

Wan Chu’er watched Jiang Kechu dumbfounded; she couldn’t make out what he was saying because her mind was fixated on the moment Jiang Kechu had held her hand, and how he had appeared out of nowhere.
