Chapter 168 - Was Stolen by Xu Wanwan



Chapter 168: Was Stolen by Xu Wanwan

“The design competition hasn’t even started yet, and this design has already been stolen. Someone must be worried that they are not capable enough, so they want to use such a dirty method to snatch the design.”

“Tsktsk, I really want to know which person with such a bad character did these things. If the Master finds out, he will definitely chase the person out of the art museum.”

“It’s more than that. The crime of theft is punishable by imprisonment. If it were me, I would definitely report it to the police.”

“Master, you must find the person who stole the design! We can’t have a people with such corrupt morals here!”

The more the people at the bottom spoke, the angrier they became. They continued to incite Master Nanshan’s emotions.

He was already uncomfortable enough that such a thing had happened. Now that he heard them say such words, he became even more displeased.

Since this design was lost in the art gallery, then it must have been stolen by someone here.

He never admitted disciples with corrupt morals, so how could he accept that there was actually a thief by his side!

The more chaotic the crowd was, the happier Zhou Lin became.

The corners of her lips curled up into a cold smile. She pretended to be worried as she walked up to Master Nanshan. “Master, since this has already happened, what we can do now is to find the murderer. It’s not a good idea to continue worrying like this.”

“Why don’t we ask everyone if they saw any suspicious people entering and leaving the art museum? Maybe we can find some clues from it.”

As she spoke, she deliberately gave Xu Yue a look.

“Master, I suddenly thought of something!”

Xu Yue received Zhou Lin’s gaze and stood up. She said, “I saw Xu Wanwan stuffing a design into her bag this afternoon and then sneakily left.”

“Xiao Yue, you can’t say nonsense. Did you see wrongly?” Zhou Lin rebuked.

“I couldn’t have seen wrongly!” Xu Yue said. “When Xu Wanwan walked past me, I even greeted her and asked where she was going.”

Zhou Lin asked, “Then what did Xiao Xu Say?”

Xu Yue said, “She said she was going to the Li Corporation. I didn’t think too much about it, so I didn’t ask.”

The two of them chimed in so as to arouse Master Nanshan’s suspicion.

“Master, the Li Corporation is Director Li’s territory. I know that Little Xu has a good relationship with Director Li, but why is she going there with the design drawings of our art gallery?”

Master Nanshan frowned when she said that.

Could it be that Li Jingran had invited them to dinner so that Xu Wanwan could steal the design drawings?

However, when he thought of Xu Wanwan’s serious and clear eyes, he could not believe that she would do such a thing.

“Did you really see Little Xu take the design out?” Master Nanshan looked at Xu Yue with a probing look.

“Master, how could I lie at such an important moment?”

Xu Yue acted very seriously. “I was also puzzled at that time. Xu Wanwan left the design studio in a hurry...”

“Master, there’s something I don’t know if I should say.”

Master Nanshan said coldly, “Go ahead.”

“I suspect that Xu Wanwan was the one who did this. She has connections with the Li Corporation. Maybe she stole the design and gave it to the Li Corporation.”

“As you know, the outside world wants your design now. Although you said that whoever wins the design competition will give the design away, there are always people who are not strong enough and have to rely on such an improper method to snatch it.”

After Xu Yue said that, the people below also agreed with her.

“I think Xiao Yue is right. When Xu Wanwan became an apprentice to Master, she said that she didn’t like design and art. Then she must be here to seek benefits.”

“Right! There are too many people like her who chase after fame and fortune. She doesn’t know what she wants and works hard for it. Instead, she used such despicable methods. She is really shameless.”

“Moreover, everyone was at the art gallery this afternoon. Only that Xu Wanwan ran away halfway. Her stealing behavior should be punished!”

“Master, call the police. Let the police arrest Xu Wanwan and chase her out of the art museum. An immoral person like her doesn’t deserve to stay here.”

Xu Wanwan happened to hear this when she walked to the door.

Her eyes were cold as she pushed the door open and stared at Zhou Lin.

“Little Xu?”

Zhou Lin pretended to be surprised, but she was secretly happy.

Humph, this bitch came at the right time. Now that she ran into the muzzle of the gun, she didn’t even need to think of a way to frame her.

“Little Xu, Master’s design is missing. Did you take it or not?” Zhou Lin asked directly in front of so many people.

Xu Wanwan did not even look at her. She walked up to Master Nanshan and said in a low voice, “Master, your design is missing, right?”

Although Master Nanshan was suspicious, he was not an unreasonable person. He nodded and said, “Someone here saw you take the design and leave. Can you explain it to everyone?”

Xu Wanwan curved her lips and smiled. “No problem.”

Zhou Lin could not help but frown when she saw how calm she was.

What a stubborn duck. She was still able to smile at such a time.

However, she wanted to see how this little bitch could turn black into white.

Xu Wanwan’s cold eyes locked onto Zhou Lin. She said calmly, “Miss Zhou, I also have a question to ask you.”

“When I first came to the art gallery in the afternoon, why did you suddenly hand me a sealed bag and ask me to send it to the Li Corporation?”

Zhou Lin had expected her to say that, so she retorted, “Little Xu, it’s no fun if you twist the truth. You know that my relationship with Jingran is broken, so how could I let you send something to him?”

“Besides, Little Yue watched you walk out of the studio alone. What does it have to do with me?”

Xu Wanwan sneered, “You can’t trust the words of others. You insist that I took Master’s design. Do you have any proof?”

Zhou Lin narrowed her eyes unhappily. She did not expect Xu Wanwan to be more difficult than she had imagined.

She gave Xu Yue a look, hinting at her to speak.

Xu Yue then stood up. “I’m the witness. I clearly saw you coming out of the studio with the design and then leaving in a hurry. Who else could it be but you?”

“I did take something, but the bag was sealed. How did you know it was the design?”

Xu Yue was stunned and said righteously, “You just left and Master’s design disappeared. Who else could it be if not you?”

Xu Wanwan laughed lightly, “If I didn’t take it, then were you framing me?”

“How could you not take it!” Xu Yue clenched her fists and her tone became slightly agitated. She said firmly, “I clearly saw you take it. You’re just trying to deny it. You’ll hurt Master’s feelings!”

After saying that, she turned to look at Master Nanshan. “Master, it was Xu Wanwan who took it. She still refuses to admit it. You must punish her properly!”
