Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 158 Not very smart

The sudden increase in the volume of the reprimand startled the three of them, and they answered almost instinctively.

"Have!"

"no!"

The three people gave two completely different answers, which startled them so much that they stared at each other in disbelief, and then tacitly changed their answers.

"no!"

"Have!"

Three people: "..."

Onlookers: "..."

Qiu Jichen was almost speechless with anger: "Is it true or not? Why don't you guys coordinate your stories before you speak?"

Lai Yiwen hadn't expected them to be so stupid. But since the words had already been spoken, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and smooth things over to avoid suspicion: "They meant that they didn't see her steal the things, but they did see her put them in the drawer."

As Lai Yiwen spoke, she gave the group a warning glance.

Upon receiving her gaze, the group shuddered. Fortunately, they weren't completely hopeless, and quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes! Although we didn't see her steal anything, we all saw her put it in the drawer. Absolutely, she's a thief!"

Upon hearing this, the onlookers began to whisper among themselves again.

Chairman Qiu straightened his back and said, relying on his seniority, "Ji Chen, you heard it too. Such a thing happening within the company must be dealt with seriously, otherwise, if other employees follow suit, wouldn't things get chaotic?"

“Third Uncle is right,” Qiu Jichen said meaningfully. “If something like this happens in the company and isn’t handled seriously, it’s easy for others to follow suit and create chaos within the company. So I’m very curious, are you a mind reader? They can’t even explain it clearly, but you seem to know quite a lot about it.”

Lai Yiwen's expression stiffened slightly. Before she could say anything, Qiu Jichen turned to the three of them again: "I'll give you one more chance. Are you sure you saw her steal these jewels and hide them in the drawer?"

Upon hearing this, everyone finally realized something was wrong, and Chairman Qiu's expression changed drastically: "Ji Chen, what do you mean by that? Do you also want to protect this woman? They have already said that they saw everything with their own eyes and there is absolutely no mistake. Even if you want to favor her, you shouldn't cover up everyone's mouths and distort the truth."

When the king of hell fights, the kid suffers.

On one side is the company's director, and on the other side is the boss's own son. The three kids are caught in a dilemma, and cold sweat is pouring down their foreheads.

In the end, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and agree with Chairman Qiu: "That's right, we did see her hide these things with our own eyes. We guarantee with our integrity that what we said is true."

"Then let's call the police. We can have them check my security footage and see who's lying and who the real thief is."

"What? Surveillance?!"

Lai Yiwen, Qiu Dong, and the other two looked in the direction Qiu Jichen pointed. When they saw the surveillance camera that had been installed in the corner at some unknown time, they could no longer maintain their composure and screamed.

With the camera, things became much easier afterwards.

As the main victim in the case, Li Manzhi went to the police station with Qiu Jichen and others.

After resolving everything and leaving the police station, the first thing I did was open the family group chat and send a message.

[The matter has been resolved. All the treacherous villains have been sent to jail. An'an's predictions came true exactly as predicted. Amazing!]

As soon as the message was sent, the group chat was instantly flooded with thumbs-up emojis.

【The rest is up to Jiaqi. Our Du family won't harm people on our own initiative, but we can't let ourselves be harmed for no reason!】 As soon as the patriarch sent out these words, Du Jiaqi, Li Manzhi's husband and second cousin, immediately popped up in the group chat with an OK emoji.

At the same time, he opened a small window and sent a message to his wife.

"Things here aren't finished yet. Wait for me outside for a bit, we'll go pick up Xiuxiu together."

Li Manzhi, however, did not intend to linger outside, so she immediately sent a message refusing her husband's invitation to accompany her.

"You go about your business, I'll go pick up Xiuxiu first, or we'll miss out on the fun."

[Watching the show? What show? (Black guy with a question mark.jpg)]

Ignoring her husband's curiosity, Li Manzhi, in a good mood, called Director Liu to ask for leave, planning to go to the hospital for a check-up first thing the next morning.

After today's commotion, she has finally made a name for herself in the eyes of her superiors.

Once Lai Yiwen goes in, there's a high chance she won't come out. If nothing unexpected happens, the position of department manager will probably fall to her next.

Whether or not she gets promoted, Li Manzhi doesn't really care. But there's a fixed position for everyone, and if she gets the job, there's a high chance that no more weirdos will be parachuted in to bother her. It's a win-win situation.

Her career success made her feel incredibly energetic and gave her the wonderful mood to gossip about everything.

The first piece of gossip to come is right here in her daughter's kindergarten. Based on the secrets she overheard at the Du family yesterday, Li Manzhi put herself in their shoes and concluded that her cousin Yu Xi's older cousin would most likely come to the kindergarten today to look for his long-lost first love and biological son.

Therefore, Li Manzhi has been paying close attention to the situation near the kindergarten all day.

When I dropped my daughter off at kindergarten this morning, I waited a little longer at the gate, afraid of missing this grand reunion.

Unfortunately, this young master Li was too slow. Li Manzhi waited at the kindergarten gate until it was almost closing time, but she didn't see a single person and had to leave with regret.

But she had a premonition that her unreliable cousin would show up after school!

As it turns out, a woman's intuition is often quite accurate.

Just as Li Manzhi picked up her daughter, a loud car engine roared outside, followed by gasps of surprise from many parents.

Even the kindergarten teachers craned their necks to look outside: "What's going on?"

Li Manzhi turned her head as if she had something in mind, and sure enough, she saw a long row of black luxury cars parked in an orderly manner at the kindergarten gate, attracting a hundred percent attention!

After all the cars came to a stop, the door of the most luxurious car in the lead opened, and a tall, slender figure stepped out from the back seat.

Li Manzhi looked closely and found that the man had bruises around his mouth and eyes, as if he had been severely beaten.

"???" Is this really Yu Xi's cousin?!

As soon as Li Zhaoyang got out of the car, he saw a familiar figure not far away. His eyes brightened slightly, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curled up, but he accidentally pulled at the wound on the corner of his mouth and hissed.

After a moment's pause, Li Zhaoyang accepted the bouquet of roses offered to him by the person beside him, strode over to Lü Jingzhu, and exclaimed excitedly, "Jingzhu, we've finally met again! I've been looking for you... hiss~~~"

Lu Jingzhu, who suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention: "..."

Li Manzhi: "..." How amazing the luxury car was when it appeared, how pathetic it is now! This cousin Yu Xi doesn't seem very smart.
