Chapter 17 Whose Money is It?

• "Tang Yin, I was just telling the truth!" Lin Chuchu sobbed as she pointed an outstretched finger at him. "Do you still want to hide the truth?!"
• Tang Yin's chest heaved as he narrowed his eyes at Lin Chuchu.
• This witch is actually ungrateful to such an extent?
• "He's been saying that he found the wallet; only a few people know that he stole it," Lin Chuchu sobbed out as she continued pointing at Tang Yin. "He must have stolen it at my family's restaurant. This doesn't just affect the reputation of my family, it also affects the university's..."
• Director Zhang glared at Tang Yin; if everything really was as Lin Chuchu said, then the university's name would be dragged through the mud.
• "Tang Yin, what do you have to say about it?" Director Zhang pulled a long face as he interrogated Tang Yin.
• "I have nothing to say!" Tang Yin threw up his hands and curled his lip. "But there is one thing that I need to make known: I, Tang Yin, have never stolen anyone's wallet or spent anyone else's money; all the money was my own!"
• "Nonsense! What money do you have?" Lin Chuchu pointed at Tang Yin again.
• Wang Rui chimed in. "Tang Yin's family isn't rich; he needs to borrow money all the time since he can't even afford to eat! Yet he was able to transfer 20,000 to us earlier. When I think about it now, I wonder what dirty means he used to get the money!"
• The minute the words 'dirty means' popped out of her mouth, the classroom fell silent and their gazes all turned on Tang Yin.
• "I know what Tang Yin is like! He definitely didn't do anything illegal; he must have been set up!" Ding Xuan stood up and spoke up loudly.
• Touched, Tang Yin turned to look at Ding Xuan.
• He felt warm inside that Ding Xuan was on his side despite everyone else standing against him.
• "So what if you know what he is like? He's been poor all along, there's no way he wouldn't grab the money when he saw it," Wang Rui mocked.
• "He wouldn't. Tang Yin wouldn't..." Ji Youyou raised her objections in a small voice.
• "You ugly b*tch, you just keep butting in!" Wang Rui snarled.
• Director Zhang's face was extraordinarily dour and his gaze swept across Tang Yin like an eerie flame.
• "Tang Yin, come with me to the security office. We'll talk about the rest only after we investigate everything thoroughly!"
• "Director Zhang, there's no need to investigate any further. He must have stolen someone's wallet and brought it back to show off in front of us! You should also investigate Ji Youyou; she stole the entire budget from our class and the Student Association!” Lin Chenfeng did not forget to deal a blow to Ji Youyou.
• Director Zhang looked up. "Bring them both!"
• "I didn't..." Ji Youyou was pale from fear and shock.
• "Just bring them there first!" Director Zhang brandished a hand.
• Tang Yin stood in the same spot and coldly watched as some of the staff from the security department walked up to him and Ji Youyou."You'd better be sure of what you're doing. You can take me away, but it won't be so easy to bring me back!"
• "Let's go. What a load of drivel!" a security officer pulled Tang Yin's arm and hauled him out of the classroom.
• "Tang Yin!" Ding Xuan called out with anxiety on his face.
• Tang Yin's head swiveled to look back at his friend. Seeing that Ding Xuan's face was full of anger, Tang Yin hurriedly threw him a look, telling him to stay put. On the other hand, Lin Chenfeng gave the security officers a hand and pulled Ji Youyou out of the classroom.
• Tang Yin boiled with hatred and anger and he cast a chilling gaze toward Lin Chuchu.
• This woman is way too malicious!
• A muscle twitched in Lin Chuchu's face when she caught Tang Yin's eye, but her confidence grew when she recalled Ruan Qin's words.
• What was Tang Yin banking on? Wasn’t he just banking on the wallet he’d picked up? When Miss Pei came and she told her that Tang Yin had stolen the wallet but had pretended to have found it, she wouldn’t just have cut off the support behind Tang Yin, but also gained the opportunity to curry favour with the big shot behind Miss Pei. Now wasn’t that just perfect in every way?
• If it worked, she would have a powerful lawyer, Miss Pei, on her side and the small restaurant her family ran would eventually become a large hotel.
• The more Lin Chuchu thought about it, the more cemented she became in her thinking, and she hurriedly followed when she saw Tang Yin being hauled off to the security office.
• The Security Office wasn’t far; they walked down the academic building and almost all the way to the university gates.
• Tang Yin and Ji Youyou drew many curious gazes as they were each held or circled by several men.
• Tang Yin didn’t care about all that, but Ji Youyou was a girl and she covered her face with her hands. Tears leaked through her fingers all the way to the Security Office.
• Once they reached the Security Office, two security officers threw Tang Yin into a chair and then hurriedly dug out some pen and paper.
• “Hold him down!” Section Chief Li of the Security Office pointed a finger at Tang Yin.
• Tang Yin gritted his teeth and his eyes fixed icily on the men who approached him.
• “Brat, you’re still being so arrogant? Do you know what this place is? It’s the Security Office! Do you think you can still act up while you’re in here? Do you think you have some amazing ability?”
• One of them held Tang Yin’s wrist down and pushed him down onto the chair.
• “Tell me, where did you get the money?” Director Zhang had followed the men in and he now fixed his gaze on Tang Yin.
• “It’s mine!” Tang Yin sneered.
• “Yours? Everyone says that you’re from a poor family, and you still dare to say that it’s yours?!” Livid, Director Zhang pointed at Tang Yin. “Hurry up and confess, or I’ll expel you today itself!”
• Tang Yin’s face was hard. “The money really is mine. Do you want me to lie instead?”
• “You dare to deny it?” Director Zhang bellowed in anger. “Do you know how much damage your actions have brought to the university?”
• Tang Yin glared at him before sweeping his gaze over the outside of the room where he saw Lin Chuchu standing in the corridor, still teary-eyed and being comforted by Wang Rui and Lin Chenfeng.
• “Brat, are you going to confess or not?” Li Ming stepped forward and grabbed hold of Tang Yin’s collar with anger on his face. “Don’t blame us for being harsh on you if you don’t confess!”
• Tang Yin’s eyes narrowed into slits. "Being harsh on me? Believe me, I’ll ruin your life if you dare to lay a hand on me!”
• "Brat, you're still being so arrogant at a time like this?!" Li Ming grabbed hold of Tang Yin's hair and bashed his head onto the chair.
• Tang Yin's head rang and his nose ached, a river of blood already flowing down his nostril.
• "Students like this really need to be taught a lesson!" Director Zhang looked at Tang Yin in disdain. "Hurry up and tell us, who does the money belong to?"
• Tang Yin chuckled, but his laugh was cutting. "As I said, the money is mine!"
• "The money isn't his!" Lin Chuchu shouted from the corridor. "It's someone else's! He stole that person's wallet and passed it to that lawyer, Miss Pei, so that she would owe him one. We'll know everything once we ask Miss Pei!"
• "Which Miss Pei?" Director Zhang inquired coldly.
• "Pei Ruo from Xihe Legal Consultancy: we should contact her immediately," Lin Chuchu suggested.
• Tang Yin gritted his teeth. "Are you sure that you want me to contact her?"
• "Contact her. Hurry up and contact her!" Lin Chuchu hastily urged.
