Free Web NovelChapter 48: Chapter 48: He’s No Good Either
"Officer, I think... I think I hear something inside!"
Hearing the man’s voice, the police officer immediately focused and listened intently. And what do you know, they really did hear something.
"There really is a sound!"
This time, it wasn’t just the officer who heard it; quite a few people in the surrounding crowd heard it too.
"What’s going on? Hurry up and open the door! Could there be a thief inside?"
The moment the words left his mouth, before the two officers could even act, people from the crowd had already rushed over to help open the door. Now, even if Qin Xueling wanted to stop them, she couldn’t. She could only watch helplessly as her family’s door was forced open.
And the moment the door opened, everyone outside saw Yin Yang standing just inside, leaning against it.
"Whoa, there really is someone in the house! It’s not actually a thief, is it?!"
"Don’t hit me, don’t hit me! I’m not a thief! I’m not a thief!"
Yin Yang was terrified the moment he saw the large crowd outside. He had been inside the whole time, only hearing a commotion but unable to make out what the argument was about. Just as he leaned in closer to try and hear more clearly, the door was thrown open from the outside.
And then, all these people appeared before him. He saw someone mistake him for a thief and almost start swinging at him.
With someone about to hit him, Yin Yang couldn’t possibly stay silent, so he started yelling.
"If you’re not a thief, then what are you doing in their house? Don’t even think about running! The officers are right here!"
"I’m not a thief! Xueling asked me to come over! Xueling, hurry up and explain to everyone!"
Yin Yang said frantically. Upon spotting Qin Xueling nearby, he immediately yelled for her to clear things up with the crowd.
"That’s right, Qin Xueling. You *should* give a good explanation. Why is Yin Yang—the man you claimed in your rumors had an illicit relationship with me—in *your* house at this very moment? I recall you were the only one home when we arrived! So, may I ask, what were the two of you, a man and a woman all alone, doing in the house in broad daylight?"
Shen Nian had originally thought that with such a commotion outside, Yin Yang would probably hide somewhere in Qin Xueling’s house. ’Even if the police went in to search, they might not find him so easily.’
’I never expected Yin Yang to be so cooperative, showing up at the door at the perfect moment. It’s like the heavens themselves are on my side!’
"Tsk, tsk. What’s going on here? So you’re saying the one having an improper relationship with this man isn’t Nian, but the Xueling girl? The one who’s truly shameless is Xueling?"
"I never would have guessed! To be so indecent herself and still frame someone else... what is wrong with people these days!"
"I’ll have to tell my kids to stay far away from this Qin Xueling. We can’t have them picking up bad habits!"
"I remember when we first got here, I saw Qin Xueling come out of the house and her clothes were all disheveled. So *that’s* why! She was up to no good in there!"
"My ancestors were practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, so I can tell with just one look. That girl from the Qin family... her body is likely no longer pure!"
"What a disgrace! How could someone like this come from our Shen Family Village!"
The onlookers chimed in one after another. The moment Yin Yang appeared, the situation had taken a nosedive for Qin Xueling.
"No, it’s not like that! You’ve all got it wrong, it’s not like that!"
Qin Xueling’s mind went blank. Faced with this situation, she had no idea what to do.
"If it’s not like that, then why don’t you tell us what it *is* like? Don’t tell me you’re going to claim Yin Yang is a thief who broke into your house to steal from you?"
Shen Nian sneered at Qin Xueling. ’This is the kind of public condemnation Qin Xueling should have been facing all along!’
’The thing Qin Xueling cherishes most is her reputation. Well, now I’m going to destroy it completely. I’ll make it impossible for her to stay in Shen Family Village and see how she can cause any more trouble here!’
"No, I’m not a thief! Xueling, hurry up and explain! Tell them I’m not a thief!"
Yin Yang panicked the moment he heard the word "thief." He remembered the police were standing right there! If they arrested him as a thief, he would be finished!
"He *is* a thief! He came to my house to steal things! Officers, arrest him quickly!"
Qin Xueling didn’t even glance at Yin Yang, speaking directly to the two police officers.
Watching her, Shen Nian finally understood the true depths of Qin Xueling’s shamelessness. ’To save herself, she’ll really use anyone.’
Yin Yang seemed stunned by Qin Xueling’s move. ’He probably never imagined she would betray him so directly.’
’However, this was obviously not a smart move on Qin Xueling’s part. After all, Yin Yang is no saint either.’
"Officers, I’m not a thief! Qin Xueling invited me over! She was just seducing me inside the house. If you don’t believe me, you can find traces of what we were doing in the room!"
