Chapter 13: Was She Too Merciful?

Moreover, the bracelet had been blessed—Bai Yumo should want everlasting love with An Lan!

Did she suddenly hesitate because she did not want to be with An Lan anymore?

An Lan also looked at Bai Yumo and frowned unhappily.

“Momo, don’t you like Xia Jinmian’s birthday gift?”

Bai Yumo immediately came back to her senses. She was furious, but she smiled happily as she touched the bracelet on her wrist.

“I like it. I like it so much. Thank you, Mianmian. You even went to Thousand Buddha Temple to pray for me. You’re so thoughtful.”

Xiao Shanshan sneered. “It’s because she can’t afford expensive gifts, so she can only go to Thousand Buddha Temple and use that as a gift. She didn’t spend a single cent and still made Momo carry it on her. How scheming!”

Xia Jinmian glanced at Xiao Shanshan coldly. This woman was really itching for a beating! She had worked her over last night and taught her a lesson this evening. How dare she continue to cause trouble?

Was she too merciful?

“Ah—” Xiao Shanshan suddenly clutched her stomach and cried out in pain. She looked around and asked angrily, “Which one of you hit me?”

Those sitting next to her stared innocently at Xiao Shanshan, whose face was twisted in pain.

Xia Jinmian had already found a seat and sat down. She ate the fruits and snacks on the table with a clear conscience. Listening to Xiao Shanshan’s screams, she enjoyed the food even more.

Bai Yumo did not have time to care about Xiao Shanshan. She was furious and tried many ways to remove the bracelet, but to no avail.

She even suspected that Xia Jinmian knew that there was something wrong with this bracelet, so she deliberately blessed and returned it to her.

But, how could someone as stupid as her discover it? It was even more impossible for her to come up with such a method to return her bracelet!

“Ah—it hurts, it hurts!”

Xiao Shanshan only felt that her stomach was hurting increasingly. It was so painful that she wanted to die.

Her screams finally jerked the distracted Bai Yumo from her reverie. She was about to utter a few words of concern when a dozen SWAT1 operatives suddenly barged in and surrounded everyone in the courtyard.

Xia Jinmian’s expression flickered and spat out the melon seed shell in her mouth. The corners of her lips curled up slightly. He had finally found her?

“Don’t move! All girls between the ages of 16 to 25, gather at my side!”

The person who spoke was a police officer. His voice was sonorous and dignified, scaring the wits out of the unsophisticared orphans.

The Director and a few teachers were alarmed and rushed over.

The police officer explained, “A treasure was lost in Luo City last night; stolen by a young girl. We’re conducting a search now. Please inform everyone to cooperate, Director.”

The Director quickly comforted everyone and asked the girls to gather according to the police officer’s request.

Xiao Shanshan—on the other hand—was rolling on the ground with her hands on her stomach.

The police officer approached her and held her down for a checkup. His expression immediately darkened. He stood up and ordered coldly, “Take her away for interrogation first. Do you think you can bluff your way through by pretending to be in pain?”

Xiao Shanshan felt wronged. She wanted to scream, but she was in so much pain that she could not. She was taken away by two SWAT operatives.

Xia Jinmian looked on coldly with a faint smile on her lips.

Earlier, she had hit a pressure point on Xiao Shanshan’s abdomen with a grape. It had only caused her abdominal pain, but there was nothing wrong with her body. It would not be discernible to the ordinary eye and Xiao Shanshan would recover in an hour.

This annoying and noisy b*tch was finally gone.

There were a total of 13 young ladies gathered. The police officer walked past them one by one and scrutinized them.

When he walked in front of Xia Jinmian, he suddenly paused and looked at Xia Jinmian from head to toe. It was unsure what he saw, but he immediately ordered, “Take her away for interrogation too!”
