The Cannon Fodder Doesn't Want to Return to the Rich Family (Translated)

Chapter 26

Chapter 26

Lin Xiang was terrified when he realized he had left his watch on the desk and hurriedly ran back to the classroom.

Seeing that the watch was missing from his desk, he panicked, searching the desk frantically, but couldn't find the watch anywhere.

Lin Xiang's face turned pale with fear. Where did the watch go?

The watch wasn't, as he claimed, something he asked his cousin to buy. The real owner was his father, who had acquired it with great difficulty for potential future appreciation. Lin Xiang couldn't imagine his father's reaction if he knew the watch was lost. He would probably be in big trouble. If he had known, he wouldn't have shown off the watch at school.

The homeroom teacher, Mr. Tang, was also shocked when he heard about the nearly ten million yuan watch being lost in class.

Mr. Tang helped Lin Xiang search the desk thoroughly, but the watch was nowhere to be found.

By now, many students had returned to the classroom for their afternoon break.

Hearing about the theft, everyone was astonished.

"This is the first time I've heard of such a thing happening at Huaying High."

"Who could have done this? How could someone be so outrageous?"

"Should I buy a small safe to keep under my desk? I'm worried my stuff might be stolen too."

"Yeah, I'll bring a small safe for my desk tomorrow."

"This is the first time something like this has happened in our school."

"This is so scary. There's even a thief in our class."

Mr. Tang said, "Lin Xiang, think carefully. Can you recall any details?"

Lin Xiang widened his eyes and suddenly pointed at Li Guigu, who was sitting nearby.

"I remember! I was the last one to leave the classroom for the cafeteria. When I left, the classroom was empty, but when I came back and found my watch missing, Li Guigu was the only one here. It must have been Li Guigu who stole it! He just argued with me this morning, so he must have stolen my watch to get back at me!"

Mr. Tang looked at Li Guigu with surprise.

Li Guigu calmly stood up and explained, "Teacher, I didn't steal his watch. If you don't believe me, you can check my backpack and desk. I haven't left the classroom since I arrived, so it's impossible for me to have moved your watch."

Lin Xiang hurried to Li Guigu's desk and thoroughly searched every corner, but still didn't find his watch.

Lin Xiang's voice trembled with panic, "I can't find it anywhere. Has it really disappeared?"

Li Guigu suggested, "Perhaps you can check the hallway security footage to see who entered the classroom before you did. That might help you find the real thief."

Homeroom Teacher: "I can access the classroom corridor's security footage directly on my phone app."

A group of people gathered around the teacher, intently watching the footage on the phone.

In the footage, Lin Xiang indeed left the classroom without wearing his watch. Shortly after, Li Guigu entered the classroom, and then, Lu Yao followed.

After Lu Yao left, Lin Xiang's anxious figure was soon seen running down the hallway.

So the thief is Lu Yao?!
