Chapter 265: Who’s the Thief?

“Hey, why aren’t you finishing your drink?” Tang Bowen said nervously when he saw that Tang Hao only took a sip.

Tang Hao smiled. He downed the drink in one gulp.

Tang Bowen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that.

‘It’s gonna happen!’

He almost could not hold back the excitement in his heart.

Then, he sent a text message to Fang Qiming on his phone.

Soon, Fang Qiming and his gang swaggered into the cafeteria.

“It’s Council President Fang!”

There was a small commotion in the cafeteria.

Fang Qiming had an excited expression on his face as he walked over.

Tang Bowen managed to succeed in his mission. All his effort had not gone to waste.

‘This Tang Bowen is pretty useful after all!’ He thought.

He assumed a serious expression when he got close. “Hey you, Tang kid!” He shouted sternly.

The male students behind him spread out in a row. They all looked unfriendly.

All the students were surprised when they saw the formation.

Then, many people understood what was going on.

It was public knowledge that Council President Fang was in love with Beauty Queen Liu. He and Tang Hao were considered love rivals.

Tang Hao lifted his head. “Is there something, Council President Fang?” He asked calmly.

Fang Qiming smirked. “You ought to know why I’m looking for you.

“Tang kid, I didn’t expect you to be a pervert. I feel sorry for Bingyao that she placed her trust in you! I’ll tear apart your gentlemanly disguise and let everyone know how perverted and despicable you are!”

Fang Qiming said indignantly as he pointed a finger at Tang Hao.

The crowd talked among themselves.

“What’s going on?”

“What’s up with that Tang guy?”

Everyone was curious. They stretched their necks and looked at the scene.

Tang Hao chuckled. “Council President Fang, please enlighten me about how perverted and despicable I am!”

“Hmph, you’re still not admitting it? You brought this upon yourself! I’ll expose your misdeeds in front of everyone here so that you can’t argue your way out of this!”

Then, he gestured to the people at his left and right.

Two burly male students stepped forward and grabbed Tang Hao’s backpack.

“What are you doing?” Tang Hao yelled.

“Why? Feeling nervous?” Fang Qiming smirked. “There must be something that you want to hide in there!”

He turned around and addressed the students. “All of you must have heard that there was a lingerie thief in the female dorms yesterday, right?

“I received a tip-off earlier that the culprit is this guy. I suspect that the stolen lingerie is in his backpack.”

Everyone exclaimed in surprise when they heard that.

Many people looked at Tang Hao with disgust.

However, many others were doubtful of that statement.

Given that Fang Qiming and Tang Hao were love rivals, it was too much of a coincidence.

Tang Bowen stood up. “I was the one who informed Council President Fang. I am Tang Hao’s cousin. I didn’t expect that my cousin is such a despicable person.

“However, since I have discovered that ugly truth about him, I have no other choice but to stop him, no matter how close we are!” He spoke righteously.

Everyone exclaimed in surprise again.

More people believed the claim. If Tang Hao’s cousin was willing to speak up against him, then it was most likely true.

Cao Fei and his friends were confused.

‘Isn’t that guy acting all friendly earlier? How did he change his attitude so fast?’

“Brother Hao!”

They were getting nervous. They knew that it was all a setup! Their Brother Hao was not a lingerie thief!

Tang Hao waved his hand and told them to not be worried.

He slowly stood up, glanced at Tang Bowen, then at Fang Qiming. “Council President Fang, are you claiming that I’m hiding stolen female lingerie in my backpack?”

“That’s right!”

“What if there isn’t?”

“That’s impossible!” Fang Qiming nearly burst out laughing.𝒊𝓃𝗻𝘳𝘦𝐚𝐝 𝒄o𝓶

He witnessed Tang Bowen plant the item inside. It would be impossible that they did not replace it!

“Is that so?” Tang Hao smiled confidently. “Alright, you can open it and see for yourself if it’s like you claimed!”

Then, he put the backpack on the table and pulled open the zipper.

Everyone crowded around, their eyes were glued to the backpack.

Fang Qiming was smiling. He could not wait to see Tang Hao’s face upon the realization that the lingerie was in the backpack.

Tang Hao opened the zipper fully and looked inside. “What are you talking about? There’s nothing unusual in my backpack. All of you can see for yourselves!”

He showed his backpack to everyone.

In the backpack were a few textbooks and a few pens. There was no female lingerie as claimed.

Everyone booed when they saw that.

Fang Qiming’s smile froze on his face.

He thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. He rubbed his eyes and looked again. There was still nothing in the bag except for books and pens.

‘How... How is this possible?’ He was feeling incredulous. ‘Didn’t Tang Bowen say that he had successfully planted the item? Why isn’t it inside?’

He turned to look at Tang Bowen.

Tang Bowen was also utterly confused at that moment.

He remembered clearly that he stuffed the lingerie into the backpack. Why was it gone?

“That’s impossible!”

He snatched the backpack and rummaged through it.

Still, he found nothing.

His face was ashen with anger.

“Hey, Cousin Bowen, there’s nothing inside, no matter how many times you look,” Tang Hao smiled mischievously.

Then, he looked at Fang Qiming. “So what do you say, Council President Fang?”

Fang Qiming’s face flashed several colors. He was thoroughly embarrassed.

He had presented a confident claim in front of all the students, but the truth was nothing like he claimed.

“I say, Council President Fang, are you doing this to divert attention from yourself?” Tang Hao said.

“What do you mean?” Fang Qiming said angrily.

“I mean... who knows that you might be the lingerie thief?” Tang Hao said coldly.

Fang Qiming burst out laughing. “What a joke! I won’t do that!”

Everyone also laughed. Fang Qiming was the president of the student council, and he was also handsome and rich. He could not possibly be a perverted person.

“I don’t believe that. Unless... you let me search your body!” Tang Hao said coldly.

Fang Qiming was surprised, though he said nonchalantly. “Alright! Search all you want!”

Tang Hao stepped forward and started patting down Fang Qiming.

Everyone was shocked.

They did not expect Tang Hao to actually do it. It was impossible that Council President Fang carried out such a perverted deed. Even if he did, would he be so stupid to carry the stolen lingerie on him?

That Tang kid must be taking revenge on Council President Fang!

Just when everyone thought of that, Tang Hao seemed to have pulled something out from one of Fang Qiming’s pockets.

They looked closely and saw that it was a pair of lace panties.
