"what?!"

"Youqing, did anyone touch my things this morning?"

"I don't know. I played games late last night and just got up. What's wrong?"

Lu Youqing shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

That's strange, it was still there when I left home this morning.

Bai Xi was a little puzzled, but suddenly saw another roommate glance at him quickly out of the corner of his eye, and then pretended to read.

She raised an eyebrow and walked over to her roommate.

"Yingni, do you know something?"

Bai Xi attended Fudan University in Shanghai, one of the three most famous universities in Shanghai, and also one of the top 5 universities in China. If her major was not biology but Fudan's flagship major, finance, she would definitely not have had such a miserable life after graduation.

Fudan’s dormitories are famous for being good, and most of them are four-person rooms. In Bai Xi’s dormitory, besides her and Lu Youqing, there are also Hu Yingni and another roommate, Zhao Lili, who is not in the dormitory.

It is said that there can be more than a dozen groups in a girls' dormitory with four people. Although their dormitory is not so exaggerated, it is indeed clearly divided. She and Lu Youqing are no exception. Hu Yingni is a loner and a weirdo.

Zhao Lili is a native of Shanghai, and she wears bright clothes. When she was assigned to this dormitory, she looked disgusted and was unwilling to play with them. She only liked to hang out with people in her circle.

Hu Yingni was obviously startled when she heard Bai Xi's words. She looked up at her. The Bai Xi in front of her had a strong aura, and she was completely different from before. She quickly lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.

"I, when I got up, I seemed to see Zhao Lili taking something in front of your desk."

"But I don't have my glasses on, so I can't see very clearly."

Zhao Lili?

Bai Xi frowned. She didn't have much contact with her in her previous life, and after graduation, Zhao Lili blocked them all, so they had even less contact.

So, could it be her?

Bai Xi took out his cell phone and called Zhao Lili directly.

The call was connected quickly, and the voice on the other end seemed a bit noisy.

"Hello, Lily?"

"Hmm? Bai Xi? What's up?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask if you saw the red bracelet on my desk?"

"No, no, how could I see your things?"

Zhao Lili's evasive tone made Bai Xi squint his eyes.

"Lily, that bracelet is quite expensive. If you see it, please return it to me."

"I already told you I didn't see it! So annoying! Hang up!"

"du~du~du~"

There was a busy tone on the phone. Bai Xi shook his head and called the class counselor Liu Xiaojuan.

"Teacher Liu, I'm Bai Xi. Zhao Lili seems to have stolen my jewelry. Could you please tell her?"

"Hey, you roommates, talk it over nicely. It's not a matter of stealing or not. It's not a big deal to lend it to someone."

"Don't be so stingy, Bang! Two!"

"That's it, teacher, I'm hanging up now."

Looking at the call interface that was hung up again, a dangerous smile slowly climbed up the corners of Bai Xi's mouth.

Okay, whatever.

There's nothing more to say about that.

"Hello, is this 110? I need to call the police. I've lost some valuables..."

......

"You redneck! That's quite expensive! How expensive can you afford to buy something?"

"I wear it to give you face, so you can benefit from it!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Lili spat viciously.

But this bracelet is really beautiful. When I wear it and take it back, I'll ask that country guy in Baixi where he bought it.

She raised her hand, and the ruby ​​on the bracelet sparkled charmingly in the sunlight.

"Lily, where did you buy this bracelet? It's quite expensive, right? It's really beautiful."

"Yeah, Lily has good taste, unlike some people in our dormitory..."

"Who isn't? It would be great if there was a university specifically for Shanghainese people. Then I wouldn't have to live with them. You don't know how dirty they are..."

Hearing the flattery from the younger sisters, Zhao Lili's vanity was greatly satisfied. She quickly waved her hands to pretend to be modest, and then wanted to take off the bracelet and let the other younger sisters try it on.

As a result, he accidentally used too much force and tore the bracelet into two pieces.

Looking at the dazzling rubies and white diamonds scattered all over the ground, a bad premonition crept into Zhao Lili's heart.

......

At the gate of Fudan University.

"Beep~Beep~Beep~"

With the sound of sirens, a police car stopped in front of Bai Xi and the others. A police officer and a young man got out of the car.

"Hello, are you the ones who called the police?"

The leading public security officer asked.

"Hello, police officer, I was the one who called the police."

Bai Xi nodded obediently, which made Lu Youqing, who was accompanying him, look at him sideways.

"Hello, my last name is Liao, and I'm the person in charge of this case. Could you please explain the situation to me?"

"Okay, Officer Liao, this is what happened."

Bai Xi briefly explained the whole story to the police officer and explained why he had to call the police. Police officer Liao frowned when he heard it.

"You teachers are being a bit irresponsible. The law stipulates that taking something from someone without their consent is considered theft or robbery. You're doing the right thing."

"However, could you tell me approximately how much your bracelet is worth? If it's not worth much, we might suggest private mediation. After all, public resources are limited. I hope you understand."

Officer Liao first affirmed Bai Xi's behavior, but then expressed his concerns.

"My bracelet is a high-end jewel I just picked up yesterday. The price is 238 million. If you have any questions, you can directly contact David, the person in charge of Van Cleef & Arpels' Shanghai region, to confirm."

"Oh, 238.....wait!"

"How many?!"

Lu Youqing and Officer Liao blurted out the words at the same time. The young man who was taking the statement widened his eyes and the pen in his hand fell to the ground unconsciously.

Officer Liao swallowed hard, calmed down for a while, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by a sudden voice.

"Bai Xi! Why did you call the police?! I told you roommates to just talk it out! You don't want to go to school anymore after such a big fuss, do you?"

Liu Xiaojuan was playing mahjong happily when she suddenly received news that a student in her class had called the police, so she hurried over.

After finally reaching the school gate, he saw Bai Xi talking to the police. He was immediately furious and interrupted them directly.

"I'm sorry, officer. The students in our class are ignorant and have caused you trouble. I'll take them back and educate them right away. Can you please cancel the police dispatch?"

After scolding Bai Xi, Liu Xiaojuan turned around and apologized to Officer Liao, and asked in a somewhat flattering tone.

"Teacher, is this how you educate your students? The Constitution stipulates that protecting personal interests is the legal right of every citizen! She did nothing wrong!"

"Yes, yes, but look at this. It's just kids playing house. There's no need to make such a big fuss and bother you."

"Playing house? It seems your family is quite wealthy. You can even play house with things worth millions?"

"Millions? Millions of what?"

"You should ask your students for more information."

Officer Liao glanced at her sideways. He had a very bad impression of this kind of teacher who only knew how to smooth things over. He turned around and said to the young man who was starting to take the statement again at the back.

"Xiao Zhou, apply to the bureau."

"Huh? What application?"

"The amount involved is huge! This is turning into a criminal case! Applying for an arrest warrant!"
