“I’m telling you, it’s a limited edition bracelet from the Hualuo family, and everyone in our dorm is a suspect, especially those from the countryside who’ve never seen the world.”
Listening to Su Shan’s words, Wen Xin could easily guess whom she was insinuating; this was no longer just about finding a thief. Su Shan had already decided that Wen Xin was the culprit.
This was the first time Zhou Xiaoxiao had encountered such an incident. Standing next to Diwu Qixian, she tightly grasped Diwu Qixian’s arm, her clear eyes fixed on Su Shan, who was rummaging through her luxury items.
Usually cheerful and straightforward, Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn’t help feeling a bit panicked, especially after checking the price of the missing bracelet and being stunned by its cost.
She couldn’t understand why Su Shan would bring such an expensive item to school.
“I don’t care. No one else has been in our dorm, so the thief must be one of us. I’m going to search your luggage…”
Wiping tears, Su Shan spoke arrogantly to Diwu Qixian and Zhou Xiaoxiao.
Peking through the gap in the curtain above her bed, Wen Xin thought that Su Shan should have gone to drama school.
Diwu Qixian, who hadn’t expected trouble to find her so quickly, looked at Su Shan, who had nearly lost her reasoning, with contempt.
“Su Shan, I understand you’re upset because you’ve lost something, but you can’t just assume we stole it. Also, you have no right to search our things. Even if you want a search, you need to call the police and let them investigate.”
Diwu Qixian stood in front of her desk, utterly disregarding Su Shan, seeing her more as a comical figure than a threat at this point.
“Fine, you want to make a big deal out of this? Then I’m calling the police right now. I want the thief caught and expelled from Beijing University.”
Su Shan, teeth gritted as she spoke, glared in Wen Xin’s direction, determined to make Wen Xin disappear from Beijing University in disgrace.
Lying on her bed and casually watching a video on her phone, Wen Xin curled her lip.
“Go ahead and call the police. I’d also like to see how the police and the school handle someone who falsely accuses their classmates. I’ve already messaged the dean; it won’t be long before he comes here. Miss Su, you’d better hurry up with your call, or I’ll make it for you.”
Wen Xin raised her hand, pulled back the curtain, and sat up on the bed. As her hair cascaded down, both Zhou Xiaoxiao and Diwu Qixian were momentarily spellbound.
They felt like they were witnessing the joy of an ancient emperor; having such a stunning consort lounging in bed made it understandable why one wouldn’t want to go to court.
Wen Xin’s words made Su Shan pause as she was about to call the police, but then she proceeded with righteous indignation.
“You, a country bumpkin who has never seen the world, are not only unclean in your hands and feet but also dare to use the dean to threaten me. Rest assured, once the police find my bracelet with you, all you’ll have left is jail time!”
Saying this, Su Shan smugly picked up her phone, dialed the emergency number, and after explaining the loss of her valuable item to the police, hung up.
“Wen Xin, just you wait. I’ve called the police now, and I don’t believe you can still act so arrogant. You mentioned the dean is coming; where is he? You, a smelly bumpkin, probably don’t even know which way the dean’s office door faces, right?”
From the moment Su Shan entered the dorm and saw Wen Xin sleeping, she was certain of one thing—Wen Xin hadn’t been on the phone. Su Shan didn’t believe for a second that she had contacted the dean.
She thought Wen Xin was just bluffing; a country bumpkin knowing the dean was simply impossible.
Outside the dorm, many onlookers had gathered, quickly realizing Su Shan was targeting Wen Xin.
They couldn’t help wondering who Wen Xin really was to cause such trouble on her first day of university. Even if she came from a rural village, she couldn’t possibly be unscrupulous, could she?
Wen Xin jumped off her bed and casually grabbed a hair tie to pull up her long black hair, her eyes still slightly sleepy but undeniably imposing.
Those standing outside started whispering among themselves.
“She doesn’t look like a thief at all. The bracelet on her wrist looks far more valuable than any Hualuo bracelet.”
Among the onlookers, there were some astute observers. A girl whose family dealt in jade immediately noticed the jade bracelet on Wen Xin’s wrist—definitely auction-house-level jade…
“That makes sense. She’s so beautiful and wears such a lovely jade bracelet; how could she possibly be a thief?”
“Look at the ring on her hand! It’s not a diamond, but it’s so pretty. Isn’t that also valuable?”
“Are you all blind? Don’t you recognize the name Wen Xin? Didn’t you have classmates who were enrolled independently? The first student to score full marks in Beijing University’s independent admissions was named Wen Xin…”
As this realization dawned, the murmurs grew louder; they had all heard about Beijing University’s two “Freshman Kings” this year.
One was Wen Xin, who had scored full marks in the university’s independent admissions, and the other was this year’s top college entrance exam scorer, Wen Huai…
As these revelations circulated, Zhou Xiaoxiao looked in astonishment at Wen Xin, who was casually sipping water while sitting in a chair.
She tugged at Diwu Qixian’s sleeve, barely able to believe what she was hearing, “Did you already know she was one of Beijing University’s Freshman Kings?”
“I didn’t know about the Freshman King part, but I was aware she scored full marks on her own in the admissions exams. I witnessed her getting full marks on the written test and being unanimously passed by all the professors during the interview to enter Beijing University’s Physics Department. It was the dean himself who nominated her.”
As Diwu Qixian spoke, she glanced at Su Shan. Su Shan believed she could easily manipulate Wen Xin because she assumed her rural background made her an easy target.
The title of Beijing University’s Freshman King was just a minor accolade for Wen Xin. If Su Shan knew who backed Wen Xin, she might be scared to death. The little Su family was nothing compared to the person behind Wen Xin.
Just then, Wen Xin’s phone lit up. She picked it up to see a message from Chu Yunxuan detailing the Su family’s connections.
