Chapter 148: After The Storm
“Wait!”
A cold and stern male voice was heard. It was Lin Bai, who had walked out of the room after hearing the commotion. He knew that this was the trouble caused by Little Treasure. He could not hide in the room like a coward.
Little Treasure seemed to know that he had caused trouble. At this moment, he was facing the wall in the pet dimension and reflecting his mistake. Lin Bai walked out without changing his expression, but the Shao family disciples were eyeing him covetously.
After all, many of the things that were lost were used to heal injuries. They suspected that the thief must have some connection with Lin Bai. Perhaps it was the person closest to him. However, they would never have thought that the thief would be Lin Bai’s pet, Little Treasure.
The Shao family disciple said bluntly, “Lin Bai, you heard what we said just now. If you know what’s good for you, hurry up and tell us who that person is. Otherwise, we’ll definitely punish you for covering up.”
Lin Bai’s expression was calm. “You don’t have any evidence. You just saw a shadow that ran into our courtyard. Isn’t that a bit too arbitrary?”
Hearing his quibbling words, the Shao family’s disciple could not contain his anger. “Could we be wrong? The thief must be one of you!”
Lin Bai shook his head and said, “I’m not saying that you were wrong. It’s just that if he was just passing by, it would have nothing to do with us.”
“How could it have nothing to do with you? I think he’s one of you. Stop talking nonsense with them and search directly. There are so many things. I don’t believe that they can hide it anywhere.”
Seeing that the Shao family’s disciples were about to charge in, Bai He, Chen Yan, and the others were instantly furious. They felt that they had been greatly insulted. Anyone who was suspected of being a thief would feel uncomfortable. Just as they were about to stop them, they were stopped by Lin Bai.
“Let them search. If they don’t search, they will definitely not let this matter rest today.”
Although Chen Yan, Bai He, and the others were angry, they had to admit that what Lin Bai said made sense. Chen Yan spat beside him. “I don’t believe that they will be able to find anything!”
The Shao family’s disciples were ransacking the place. They wished that they could even dig three feet into the courtyard. They had almost turned the entire place upside down, but unfortunately, they did not find anything.
Chen Yan smiled coldly. “I told you, we are not thieves. There is nothing here that you want.”
The Shao family’s disciples looked at them suspiciously as if they had thought of something. “That thing must have been hidden in your personal space. I want to check your personal space or storage bags.”
One had to know that personal space was an extremely private thing. Usually, it stored more important things and cold not easily show them to others. The Shao family’s disciples requested to check their personal space. This was no different from a body search. It was a great humiliation to people.
When Chen Yan and the others heard this, their expressions changed instantly. They could not contain their anger and said, “You guys have gone too far! You wanted to search the place and we’ve let you search it. Now that you haven’t found anything, you’re pushing your luck.”
The Shao family’s disciple smiled coldly. “What’s wrong with searching the personal space? You might have hidden the things there. If you don’t let us search the space, it means that you have a guilty conscience and don’t dare to show it to us.”
A basin of dirty water was poured down. How could Chen Yan, Bai He and the others tolerate this. They immediately retorted, “I think that your Shao family’s disciples are too overbearing. You came to search without any evidence. Since you couldn’t find it, now you want to search our storage bags. Who knows what you’re going to search after that.”
When the Shao family’s disciple saw that they were not willing to back down, his expression suddenly became gloomy. “It seems that you’re not willing to let us search. Then you are guilty! Don’t blame us for using special methods.”
“I see that you’re slandering us. You’re deliberately making things difficult for us.”
Seeing that both sides were in a stalemate, the smell of gunpowder in the air became even stronger. In the end, Lin Bai stood up. “What if you search the storage bags and there’s still nothing?”
The Shao family’s disciple was certain that the thieves were on this group of people. The things stolen from the Treasury must have been put into their storage abgs. He said confidently,
“If we don’t find anything, we will apologize to you. Moreover, this matter will end here. We will not disturb you anymore.”
Lin Bai looked at him indifferently. “Alright, then it’s a deal!”
Initially, the other disciples were somewhat unwilling. However, since Lin Bai had already spoken, they naturally could not disregard his face. Moreover, the Shao family’s people came in a threatening manner. They would definitely not give up until they had achieved their goal. Since they had already reached this stage, they would definitely not be willing to bear the crime of stealing.
However, as the Shao family’s people checked the storage bags one by one, they did not discover anything at all. They didn’t even find a shadow much less any heavenly and earthly treasures. Their expressions became increasingly unsightly.
Chen Yan snorted coldly and said, “Now that everyone has finished checking, there aren’t any of the things that you have mentioned. Hurry up and apologize!”
The Shao family members ‘faces were ashen. They looked around them and said, “Hold on! There’s still one person who hasn’t been checked.” Finally, their gazes landed on Lin Bai.
Lin Bai was calm and unperturbed. He allowed them to check, but in the end, they still did not find anything.
“Now you’re satisfied, right? What else is there to say!”
The crowd of disciples became agitated as if they had found their confidence. “After tormenting us for so long, you still want to pin a groundless crime on us. Hurry up and apologize!”
“That’s right. You agreed to apologize.”
On the other hand, the Shao family disciples who had come aggressively earlier seemed to be unable to stand on their feet. In the end, they did not say anything apologetic and left dejectedly.
Looking at their backs as they left, Lin Bai smiled mysteriously. How could these people know that Little Treasure actually had its own pocket dimension? It was separated from his storage bag.
Now that he had put Little Treasure into his pet’s space, the Shao family would never think of such a thing.
