443 Implicated
When Xu Ling heard this, she said, “So what even if you’re here?! Give everyone their money back! You just want to stall for time!”
When Yu Yan saw Xu Ling try her best to ruin her reputation, she was angry and anxious.
Yu Bing clenched her fists and placed them under her nose to hide her smile.
She coughed lightly and continued, “Yu Yan, everyone else will naturally judge if I’m using my position to take revenge or not. This matter was caused by you borrowing money. I appeared because you couldn’t resolve it and caused an even bigger conflict. This has already affected the harmony of the intellectuals, so I had no choice but to step in.”
Some of the people watching the commotion were on good terms with Xu Ling, so when they heard Yu Bing’s words, they found a way to deal Yu Yan a blow. They immediately mocked, “Captain Yu has a lot of things to do, but now, she has to clean up your mess. It’s fine if you’re not grateful, but you criticize everyone you see. How despicable.”
Yu Bing didn’t give Yu Yan a chance to interrupt this time. “I have a lot of things to do, so let’s end it quickly. Yu Yan, since everyone is suspicious of your ability to repay the debt and you really can’t fork out the money now, why don’t you show some sincerity first?”
“As for what this gesture of sincerity is, it’s up to you. You can’t just let them wait forever, right?”
Yu Bing didn’t explain clearly, but she brought the topic back to the main point again.
Wen Xun was in a hurry to ask for money, so he immediately said, “Yu Yan, open it and let us see if you have stamps. This is the greatest gesture of sincerity!”
“That’s right. If you don’t have any, everyone will know that it’s useless to force you. Then, we can sit down and talk about other ways.”
“That’s right. You said that you don’t have money, but Xu Ling saw the stamps in your hand. In that case, prove it!”
“I think there are stamps in this cabinet. Xu Ling must have seen them! Think about it, the two of them are roommates in the same dormitory, so how can Yu Yan hide them?”
“I think so too. Yu Yan keeps changing the topic. Isn’t this a sign that she’s trying to hide things? At this point, if she really doesn’t have money, she can just be frank about it.”
Their attention was pulled back to the main topic. Everyone was discussing, but the main goal was to let Yu Yan open the cabinet to prove her innocence.
Yu Yan had left the cabinet because she wanted to hit Xu Ling. When Xu Ling saw the empty spot, she gave a look to the people she was on good terms with in the crowd. Three girls slowly moved towards Yu Yan.
At this moment, Yu Yan was focused on the crowd in front of her and didn’t notice their move.
When Xu Ling saw that the three girls had successfully approached Yu Yan, she immediately picked up the scissors that had just been knocked down and rushed over to continue prying the lock.
When Yu Yan discovered this, she turned around to stop her, but how could Xu Ling’s companions give her this chance?
The few of them immediately surrounded Yu Yan. The creditors also wanted to know Yu Yan’s debt repayment ability, so they naturally wouldn’t go forward to stop them. Instead, they craned their necks and waited to see the outcome.
There were still many people watching outside the door. At this moment, they kept squeezing in to see the situation up close.
Yu Bing watched this scene in amusement.
Compared to Yu Yan, who deliberately spread rumors about her to Madam Sun and secretly goaded her and her son into trying to rape her, ruining Yu Yan’s reputation wasn’t that big of a deal.
Two minutes later, Xu Ling finally pried open the lock.
After she opened the cabinet, she saw the small wooden box that Yu Yan usually treasured. The lock of the wooden box was very small and easy to pry open. After a while, Xu Ling opened the wooden box and saw the stamps and letters inside.
Xu Ling’s attention was on the stamps and she didn’t check the letters.
She took out the stamps excitedly and turned around to show them to everyone. “Look! I knew there were stamps!”
Seeing this, Yu Yan stopped struggling and her face turned pale.
Yu Bing went forward with a smile as she said calmly, “Yu Yan, if you have any difficulties and don’t want to sell stamps to repay the money, you should tell everyone.”
When Li Zhen saw the stamps Xu Ling raised, he turned to look at Qian Hao and realized that he was looking at Yu Yan in disappointment and sadness.
