Chapter 128: It’s An Irrefutable Evidence

Zuo Xiaoqing felt a little guilty, but she bit the bullet and persisted, “I think you’re the one who’s pretending! How dare you accuse me in return? Stop wasting your breath, just hand over the bracelet and apologize to Miss Wu!”
Luo Chenxi ignored Zuo Xiaoqing and turned to Sheng Yu.
With a sincere tone, she said, “Chief Sheng, I really didn’t steal Wu Lingshan’s diamond bracelet. Isn’t this exhibition hall under camera surveillance? Let’s have a look at the surveillance footage, that should clear everything up.”
Sheng Yu had the same idea from the start, he nodded immediately and instructed the staff around him to fetch the footage from the surveillance room.
Wu Lingshan also nodded. “Seems like the anxiety has gotten into my head. That’s right, the surveillance footage shall clearly show the culprit, we mustn’t wrongly accuse others.”!!
Luo Chenxi glanced at her and frowned.
Wu Lingshan actually supported the idea of checking the surveillance footage?
If she wanted to frame Luo Chenxi, would she not oppose the idea?
Could she be planning something?
Soon, the surveillance footage was sent over.
Sheng Yu played the recent footage on his laptop in front of the crowd.
Luo Chenxi stared at the screen for a while and finally understood why Wu Lingshan was so confident.
Half of the place where the evening gown was placed was covered by a curtain, so the camera could not capture the bracelet directly.
From the surveillance footage, other than Wu Lingshan who had tidied up her clothes earlier, Luo Chenxi was the only one standing next to the evening gown when the judges were commenting on it, while the rest of the participants did not go near it.
Before the video ended, the exhibition hall was already in an uproar.
“The evidence is clear. Xin Chen stole the bracelet!”
“Who would’ve thought that the genius designer is also a thief, what a disgrace!”
“So what if she’s a genius? With that low personality, no matter how talented she is, she’s still a scumbag. It makes sense that she got expelled from the Royal College of Arts, this must be the reason for it!”
Everyone’s eyes were filled with disdain.
Sheng Yu’s expression was heavy, he pursed his thin lips and said, “Xin Chen, what do you have to say?”
Luo Chenxi was stunned.
Since Sheng Yu had always hated her, she was sure that he would without a doubt think that she was the culprit after looking at the surveillance footage, so Sheng Yu’s question caught her completely off guard.
She composed herself and calmly explained, “Chief Sheng, all I can say is that I’m not the person who stole the bracelet. What’s more, the footage shown cannot be considered direct evidence to the accusation of the bracelet’s theft.”
“We already have irrefutable evidence right before us, why are you still trying to deny it? Aren’t you a little too thick-skinned?” Zuo Xiaoqing pounced out.
Wu Lingshan’s face looked even more heartbroken. “Miss Xin Chen, you… Why are you doing this? You are so talented and have a bright future. You will definitely be able to earn the money to buy the things you like in the future. Why do you have to steal them?”
Luo Chenxi glanced at her and smiled particularly gently, “That’s right. I do have talent and a bright future. That’s why people would be jealous of me and would try to smear my name. They are trying to pin the crime of misconduct on me so that I won’t be able to participate in the finals of the Hua Feng Competition. Miss Wu, am I right?”
Wu Lingshan did not expect Luo Chenxi to remain calm and unshaken. Luo Chenxi even nonchalantly revealed Wu Lingshan’s intentions.
For a moment, she almost could not keep up the pitiful expression on her face.
Her expression became a little uncomposed. “What… What did you say?”
Luo Chenxi said, “As the surveillance footage has shown, I was indeed standing next to the gown, but I was not the only one who got close to the gown. Didn’t Miss Wu get close to it as well? And she even stayed behind the curtain for so long.”
Wu Lingshan came back to her senses as she pretentiously rubbed her and continued her act.
“Xin chen, what do you mean? How… how dare you frame me like this in an attempt to conceal your acts of misconduct?”
Her eyes reddened and she looked like she was about to cry. Many people sympathized with her, and started to blame Luo Chenxi.
“I’m claiming that I didn’t do it, while you are claiming that there’s no way you will wrongly accuse me. Since none of us is admitting that they are in the wrong, then… there’s only one thing left that we can do.” The corners of Luo Chenxi’s lips rose.
Wu Lingshan suddenly had a feeling of unease when she saw Luo Chenxi’s smile.
‘Does this wretched woman still have a way of turning the tables now that we’ve come to this?’
