Chapter 338: Chapter 159 Haijing Normal University, Pollution Appears_2

Lin Baici heard commotion ahead as numerous people began denouncing the plump girl, accusing her of losing her earphones and then causing trouble for others.

The plump girl suspected the short-haired girl had stolen her earphones, but as soon as she voiced her suspicion, she was berated.

"How can you be so ungrateful?"

The short-haired girl was furious, "If I were a thief, I could have just thrown these earphones away to escape suspicion. Why would I bother bringing them back to you?"

"With your attitude, I should forget about sending you a red envelope to express my gratitude; I can’t even expect a ’thank you’ in return!"

"Remember her, everyone. If she ever has trouble again, no one should help her!"

The short-haired girl was still not satisfied and glared at the plump girl, "If you slander me again, I’ll expose you on the campus forum!"

The plump girl backed down quickly and hurried to apologize, "I’m sorry! I’m sorry!"

As for a thank-you red envelope?

She didn’t want to give one.

Why should I give a red envelope when I found the earphones on my own merit?

The issue was resolved.

Everyone dispersed.

Zhu Qiunan and Gu Qingqiu stayed put, eying the short-haired girl with suspicion, but they had no evidence.

"Could it have been Lin Baici?"

Gu Qingqiu wondered because she had been watching Lin Baici all along, noticing him wandering around the library for a good while, and now, he had gone back to his reading.

In her view, this was not a man who gave up easily; once he got involved, he would certainly see things through and not abandon them halfway.

So, his return could only mean one thing.

He had found the thief and used some method to make the thief return the earphones.

"How did he find out?"

Gu Qingqiu went over the incident from start to finish again in her head and realized that there were not enough clues to identify the thief the conventional way. Therefore, unnatural abilities must have been involved.

Good,

There was only one answer left.

Lin Baici was a God Hunter!

Gu Qingqiu was astonished at this revelation.

A God Hunter among my fellow students?

Impressive!

Gu Qingqiu had come into contact with such people due to her family’s background.

And why did Gu Qingqiu dismiss the possibility that Lin Baici had directly spotted the thief?

Because if he had seen the thief, there would have been no need for him to wander around the library; he could have simply approached the thief to settle the matter.

"Resolved?"

Lin Baici, noticing Zhu Qiu Nan returning, asked with a smile.

"Yes!"

Zhu Qiunan nodded, "But it had nothing to do with me!"

Zhu Qiunan lowered her head, twirling her pen in her right hand, though her mind wasn’t on studying.

I may not know whether Lin Baici has a kind heart, but I do know that once he starts something, he doesn’t stop.

So why did he wander for a while and then give up?

Could it be because he realized the clues were insufficient and didn’t want to waste his effort?

Gu Qingqiu couldn’t figure it out, but this didn’t affect her opinion of Lin Baici. After all, as long as she studied hard and found a good job, she would be able to support him, so even if Lin Baici was somewhat incompetent, she could accept that.

Lin Baici was about to leave; however, before he could act, the short-haired girl approached him.

"Can we talk?"

The short-haired girl looked at Lin Baici, her tone subdued.

Zhu Qiunan’s eyes narrowed when she saw this.

Indeed,

This girl was the thief, and her return of the earphones was clearly because Lin Baici had done something.

Zhu Qiunan’s curiosity surged.

"From now on, we have nothing to do with each other!"

Lin Baici said with a light chuckle.

The short-haired girl, facing Lin Baici’s handsome visage, felt ashamed and embarrassed that her worst moment had been witnessed by him.

Humiliating.

"I actually had a reason!"

The short-haired girl tried to explain.

"I don’t care about your reasons; I’ve said my piece, and I don’t know you!"

Lin Baici waved his hand dismissively.

Troublesome.

But the short-haired girl didn’t see it that way; after all, there was still a video of her stealing the earphones on his phone. In case he decided to use it against her one day to do something unspeakable...

At that thought, the short-haired girl glanced subconsciously at Zhu Qiunan.

Ah!

What was she thinking?

Look at his girlfriend, more beautiful and better-shaped than herself; even if this man cheated, he wouldn’t turn to her.

"Oh, right, I don’t care whether you steal again or not, but if I see it, you know what’ll happen."

Lin Baici spoke indifferently and then ignored her.

This indifference made the short-haired girl feel humiliated, but the casual way Lin Baici spoke made her hesitate to question his Strength.

Forget it!

She’d better steer clear of her in the future.

In such a large university, it was unlikely they’d run into each other again.

The short-haired girl left. She had actually considered adding Lin Baici as a friend and then sending him a red envelope as a sign of submission and also as evidence.

In a pinch, she could just claim the man extorted her, but Lin Baici’s demeanor made her abandon her little scheme.

Lin Baici noticed Zhu Qiunan glancing at him and inwardly cursed; he then stood up, "I’m going now!"

"What did you do?"

Zhu Qiunan frowned.

Lin Baici had been with her the whole time; he couldn’t have possibly seen the girl steal the earphones, and without evidence, she wouldn’t readily admit to it.

"When we become friends, I’ll tell you!"

Lin Baici said perfunctorily, hurrying away.

Damn!

This girl is too smart; I can’t stand it. A few more days of this, and I’ll have no secrets left.

Lin Baici felt no matter how beautiful, virtuous, and gentle Zhu Qiunan was, he couldn’t marry her because she was too smart. If she caught even a hint of him cheating, she’d surely find out right away.
