Chapter 13: Good Luck to Oneself

Her look of panic was not at all fake, even though she ordered Xiaoli to hide the bracelet in Lin Yike's room and frame her, she did not instruct Xiaoli to destroy it. After all, this pair of bracelets was invaluable and a gift from the Zuo family.

"What else do you have to say? You have already read books and become so vicious at such a young age." Lin Jianshan was burning with anger and raised his hand to hit Lin Yike.

Lin Yike naturally wouldn't just stand there and let him hit her. She had already dodged to the side. She glanced indifferently at Lu Yuxin and her daughter, with a cold and sarcastic smile on her lips.

"If I really wanted to steal something, would I still leave it in my room and wait for you to come and catch me red-handed?"

Lin Yike felt that Lin Jianshan, who had climbed from a lowly civil servant to the position of deputy mayor, should not be a fool. But she couldn't understand how such a clever man could be easily manipulated by Lu Huixin and her daughter.

"Is it someone else framing you?" Lin Jianshan roared.

"Whether it's framing or not, you'll know when you finish watching." Lin Yike finished speaking and walked to the computer, entering the startup password and clicking on the software for playing back surveillance footage.

On the computer screen, it was clear that Xiaoli had sneaked into Lin Yike's room at around 8 a.m. and placed the jewelry box in the drawer under her bedside table.

At that time, Lin Yike was downstairs having breakfast with Lin Jianshan.

Lu Huixin and her daughter didn't expect that Lin Yike would install a camera in her own room, and were suddenly dumbfounded. Xiaoli was even more scared and her legs went weak, and she fell directly to the ground.

"Speak up, why are you framing me?" Lin Yike turned off the computer and looked directly at Xiaoli with a cold gaze.

"I, I..." Xiaoli stuttered and couldn't speak. Her gaze kept shifting towards Lu Huixin.

"Xiaoli, what are you looking at? It couldn't be that Auntie asked you to frame and accuse me, right?" Lin Yike stepped on her high heels and walked to Xiaoli's side. Although she was a young girl, she gave off an invisible oppressive feeling.

Xiaoli's face turned pale and she threw herself at Lu Huixin, shouting, "Madam, save me!"

"Lin Yike, stop making baseless accusations." Lu Yuxin spoke up at this moment, her voice just covering up Xiaoli's crying.

Luhui Xin was a woman who had weathered many storms in her life, and there wasn't a hint of panic on her face. She sighed at Xiaoli and said, "How could you do something so foolish? Since you came to our Lin family, I've treated you like my own daughter. I've paid for your mother's medical expenses and your brother's tuition fees. Xiaoli, you've really disappointed me."

Lin Yike listened and couldn't help but applaud. What a great way to show both kindness and authority! If Xiaoli dared to implicate Luhui Xin and her daughter, then no one would ever pay for her mother's medical expenses or her brother's tuition fees again.

"If you're not stupid, you'll understand what Mrs. Lu just said." Lin Yike said coldly, "Don't accuse her wrongly. No one instructed you. You acted alone because you couldn't stand my spoiled and willful behavior. You wanted to teach me a lesson."

"As long as you admit it was you who did it." Lin Yike calmly took out her phone, "The law states that theft of over 2,000 yuan can result in imprisonment. The jade bracelet you stole and damaged is worth at least one million yuan, enough for you to spend the rest of your life in jail. When you're inside, good luck to you."

Lin Yike prepared to call 110 to report the theft while holding her phone. She wanted to see if Xiaoli dared not to tell the truth to the police once she was in the police station.
