Chapter 1296 Get Someone to Uphold Justice
"Why not! I saw a big rat and came in to help you chase it out!" Pu Tao said stubbornly.
Sun Juan looked at all four corners of the room to make sure that she did not miss out on anything before asking, "Where is the rat? Where exactly is the rat?"
"It ran out just now! Just now! " Pu Tao pointed to the outside in a panic.
"I think you're that big rat! Stop playing the trick of a thief accusing someone else of being a thief!" Zhou Shuang said furiously.
Seeing that the truth was about to be exposed, Pu Tao wanted to run off and hide from them as long as she could.
"Where do you think you're going! Don't even think about it!" Sun Juan shouted as she grabbed Pu Tao by the hair.
"Enough!" Huang Xu shouted into the room. He strode forward to separate Sun Juan from Pu Tao and even stood in front of Pu Tao in a show of support for her.
Everyone had thought that Huang Xu was a fair person. They did not expect him to choose to protect Pu Tao.
"Brother, you have to give me an explanation for this. It's not the first time that things have gone missing from my room. I'm also not the only one living in this compound who has lost personal belongings. Today, we have caught the culprit red-handed. How do you intend to prove that your wife is innocent?" Sun Juan said calmly.
Huang Xu knew that it was Pu Tao's fault, but he still wanted to take a chance. Pu Tao did not have anything in her hands at the moment. Perhaps Pu Tao had been telling the truth and she just came in to help?
Perhaps a thief had come in from outside to steal things, or it could be anyone else living in the house who was the thief. How could they just be suspicious of Pu Tao?
"Sister Sun, there must be some misunderstanding. My wife might have really come in to help. She didn't take anything, right?" Huang Xu said.
"Maybe it's because she doesn't have time to take anything?" Yang Mei muttered softly.
"Rubbish! Why don't you suspect that slut in the backyard! Why do you only suspect me!" Pu Tao said angrily to Sun Juan.
Sun Juan was so angry that she wanted to slap Pu Tao, but she held back. She clenched her fists and said, "Are you stupid? Qian'e has a piano in her room that costs 2,000 dollars. Why would she need to steal anything? Do you think she lacks money? When you want to suspect others, please use your brain. Don't frame just anyone."
"Even if you're trying to help, it's not right for you to enter my house so casually. Besides, I recently lost a pair of gold earrings. I still have the receipt and Qiao Mei and the neighbors nearby have all seen me wearing the earrings in the past. Show all of us what you have in your room. If there's none of our lost belongings in your room, then we're the ones who are wrongly accusing Sister Pu Tao and we'll apologize," Sun Juan said openly.
Since the matter had already reached this point, she might as well see it through to the end and speak frankly. Then they would not need to be suspicious of one another in the future. If they really wronged Pu Tao, Sun Juan would definitely bring a big gift to apologize to her!
She had always kept her word. If she lied, she would be struck by lightning! She would die a horrible death!
Pu Tao immediately panicked when she heard that they wanted to search her room. Those things were just hidden under the bed! Any of them would be able to find the stolen items easily. There was no need for them to even search carefully.
"Absolutely not! Why can you search my room! Do you have more authority than the police? You want to search my room! No way!" Pu Tao said.
"If you ask me, we should all go and look for Qiao Mei and get her to uphold justice. Let her tell us how this matter should be resolved. After all, this house belongs to her and you're all renting rooms from her. I must get a resolution no matter what," Zhou Shuang said.
"How dare you! You're also renting a room! Who are you to look down on us!" Pu Tao roared.
"Who told you that we're renting? I bought my room from Qiao Mei! We have documents to prove it! Zhou Shuang, go get Qiao Mei!" Sun Juan said as she patted Zhou Shuang's shoulder.
Zhou Shuang ran out with a whoosh, so fast that no one could stop her. Seeing that the matter had blown up, Huang Xu had no choice but to compromise. He had never imagined that things would end up like this after coming to the capital.
At this moment, Qiao Mei was listening to music at home. Recently, she had been getting headaches, so Xia Zhe stayed at home with her and gave her massages every day. In another two months, his massage techniques would be almost the same as that of a professional masseuse.
