Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations

Shen Nana pointed at Shen Jiayi and said, “Shen Jiayi, you must have done it on purpose. You know how much Grandpa likes that reishi mushroom, so you stole it away on purpose just so Grandpa will get mad at me. How shameless of you!”

Shen Jiayi couldn’t defend herself. “Cousin, what on earth are you talking about? I don’t know anything about a reishi mushroom!”

On the side, Gu Yan touched the jade pendant at her chest subconsciously. Suddenly, she remembered the ginseng that disappeared out of nowhere.

Could it be that the ginseng didn’t run away but was... eaten by the jade pendant?

So, the jade pendant...likes to eat these precious medicinal herbs?

But hasn’t nothing been happening in the pendant all this while? I couldn’t even summon the green light.

Gu Yan felt thunder roaring in her mind. What the hell is going on?

But on the surface, she had to act calm, cool, and collected.

She couldn’t be anxious as well.

It would be troublesome if they were sent to the police station as thieves.

Shen Jiayi on her side was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Gu Yan didn’t look at Shen Nana and the others. Instead, she looked at the staff member at the bookstore and asked, “Excuse me, do you have any female staff members working at this bookstore?”

“Yes, why?” The square-faced man saw that this girl remained calm the entire time; she didn’t even look like a thief.

Therefore, he was really patient with Gu Yan.

Gu Yan nodded and said, “If this female comrade firmly states that we have stolen her item, then how about this? We will go to your rest room and have your female staff members do a body search. If the reishi mushroom can be found on us, then we will play nice and go to the police station with you. But, let me make it clear first, if the reishi mushroom is not on us, then please send these two comrades to the police station to register a case.”

“Why should we go to the police station?!” Shen Nana became anxious immediately.

Gu Yan grinned. “Shen Nana, are you admitting that you have defamed and framed us?”

“I...”

The people in the store saw the big scene and stopped buying books; they all huddled around to watch. Even the manager of the bookstore showed up.

The staff at the bookstore didn’t want things to get so out of hand, so they quickly brought these girls to a separate room. They asked all the male staff members to stay outside so that the female staff members could frisk Gu Yan and Shen Jiayi.

In essence, frisking was somewhat insulting, but Gu Yan suggested it herself. It made the staff of the bookstore feel like this girl was extraordinarily understanding; how could she be a thief?

The results in the end proved that Gu Yan and Shen Jiayi were obviously innocent. They did not hide the reishi mushroom anywhere on them.

Shen Nana looked terrible. She turned around and glowered at her friend, and the other girl also looked pretty terrible.

Gu Yan smiled and said, “Shen Nana, you should probably go to the police station. Who knows where you lost your item but you decided to frame us. But now that you have a missing item, you should register a case with the police. Also, you can turn yourself in for defamation of other comrades while you’re there!”

“Don’t push it too far!” Shen Nana was so angry that her entire body was shaking.

Shen Jiayi’s eyes fluttered, and she quietly tugged on Gu Yan’s clothes.

Gu Yan looked at the timid Shen Jiayi and sighed in her mind. Fine, for Shen Jiayi’s sake, she wasn’t going to embarrass Shen Nana too much.

If words got out, the Shen Family would lose face.

She said sincerely, “We are the victims throughout the entire incident. People have clear eyes, so everyone here can see who was pushing who. I’m not going to embarrass you since you are Jiayi’s relative. How about this? If you apologize to me and Jiayi in front of everyone, then we will forget about everything that happened today.”
