“Exactly. Young and able-bodied, and they choose to steal from a supermarket. Tsk, tsk.”
“He doesn’t even look poor. Why would he steal coffee? Even beggars on the street have a few bucks in their pockets.”
“I saw him looking shifty earlier. Definitely a thief!”
“It’s bad upbringing. My child would never do such a thing.”
“Maybe he’s hidden other things too. I suggest a strip search.”
“Young people nowadays are so vain, living beyond their means with empty pockets.”
As soon as they spotted the corner of a bagged coffee peeking out of Ji Wenyan’s pocket, the onlookers started chattering.
Sympathetic or scornful gazes all turned toward Ji Wenyan, nearly pushing Bai Mengze to the edge. She wanted to lash out and punch them all.
But Ji Wenyan remained calm, as if he weren’t the one being accused.
However, Ji Wenyan wasn’t exactly magnanimous. He was simply so furious that he’d gone eerily still, like a placid pool of water.
But within that pool lurked a savage beast, ready to leap out and stir up a storm.
“You thief! Any last words? Hand over everything you stole! I’ve already called the police, they’ll be here any minute.”
“Stolen goods? I didn’t steal anything. But you want to see? Fine, then see!”
With that, as the cashier’s angry voice rang out, Ji Wenyan didn’t stay put. Instead, he strode quickly to the counter and raised his hand.
Want to see?
Then he’d show them clearly.
“Don’t you dare touch me! There are cameras here. You’ll only make it worse for yourself!”
Seeing Ji Wenyan’s intimidating approach, the slightly chubby cashier stumbled backward.
He was just an employee; it wasn’t his supermarket.
If this enraged student decided to kill him, that would be disastrous!
If only he’d kept his mouth shut. It was just one bag of coffee.
He didn’t want to die!!!
But Ji Wenyan didn’t lay a hand on him. Instead, he started pulling out items.
“This is a Nardu Sea wristwatch, this year’s latest model. It costs more than this entire supermarket… oh, I mean including the building. Maybe not more than my watch.”
“This is a Guanghe global limited-edition necklace. As for the price, you can check the official website.”
“This is a Jiang Youtu wallet. Inside, besides cards from various banks, there’s a supplementary card to the chairman of Fei Niao Mall’s credit card. Is that enough? If not, I’ll call my butler and have him bring out our family car for a spin?”
In response to the gossip, Ji Wenyan directly slapped them in the face with his actions.
Saying he had no money?
Saying he had no upbringing?
Any random item on him was worth more than what these people could earn in a lifetime of hard work.
What right did they have to judge him!
The cashier standing before Ji Wenyan, staring at the items, didn’t know if they were real, but Ji Wenyan’s assertive attitude scared him speechless.
Not only the cashier, but the gossiping crowd also fell silent.
They had no idea if what the student said was true, but there was over a thousand yuan in cash in his wallet.
With that much money, why would he steal a cheap bag of coffee?
Could there be some misunderstanding?
“Bai Mengze, that old man—the one in the red hat! Grab him! He’s the one who framed me!”
Just as everyone was stunned by Ji Wenyan, he suddenly spoke.
Before anyone could react, Bai Mengze lunged—or rather, kicked, knocking the red-hatted old man to the ground.
The crowd gaped in shock, bewildered by what was happening.
Kicking an old man in public? What lawlessness!
Even Ji Wenyan hadn’t expected Bai Mengze to be so direct, but he didn’t say anything more. Instead, he quickly walked to the fallen old man and yanked off his hat.
Thick, glossy black hair spilled out—not the dry, lifeless hair of an elderly person.
Then Ji Wenyan reached out and pulled at his face, peeling off a layer of skin.
Having followed Gong Yingying to film sets before, Ji Wenyan had seen plenty of special effects makeup.
Not to mention, he now possessed master-level makeup skills.
It was easy for him to see through the disguise!
Now Ji Wenyan was relieved.
He had guessed right!
After being accused of theft, Ji Wenyan activated his Full Concentration skill, carefully replaying everything that had just happened.
Then he noticed… other than the old man who bumped into him, no one else had come near.
So he had Bai Mengze grab the old man.
But now, he couldn’t be called an old man—he was a reporter disguised as one.
Finally caught you!
