Mine

Ye Ling glanced at Liu Lin from the corner of her eyes. At this moment, Liu Lin also revealed a shocked expression, as if she found it hard to believe that Ye Ling would steal something.

Ye Ling didn’t have the time to care about Liu Lin at this time, because under the urging of the young woman, the owner of the medical shop was already prepared to send his staff to the nearby police station to report to the police.

Within ten minutes, the police arrived. The young woman grew even more arrogant, pointing at Ye Ling and hurling more insults before demanding that the police take Ye Ling away immediately.

The police officer looked at Ye Ling, unable to believe that such a beautiful and composed young girl would steal. However, judging from the reactions of the people at the scene, it seemed that what the young woman said was true.

The police officer sighed inwardly, feeling a deep sense of pity for Ye Ling. In this day and age, once someone had a criminal record, it became a lifelong stain. Ye Ling was young and beautiful, so why would she choose to steal?

The police officer took out his handcuffs and turned his gaze to Ye Ling. “Let’s go to the police station.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Lin, who had been observing from the sidelines, couldn’t help but curl her lips into a slight smile, feeling extremely pleased.

Once Ye Ling entered the police station, she would no longer be able to continue her life as an educated youth and would undoubtedly be sent back to the city. Then, Liu Lin would no longer have to worry.

Liu Lin and the young woman who had accused Ye Ling of stealing exchanged a glance. Then, both of them averted their gazes, pretending not to know each other.

As the police officer prepared to place the cold handcuffs on Ye Ling, she suddenly let out a soft laugh. The peculiar laughter was jarring, and everyone’s attention turned to Ye Ling.

“What are you laughing at? Do you regret it now? It’s too late!” Upon hearing Ye Ling’s laughter, the young woman felt a shiver run down her spine.

She suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and looked at Ye Ling with a knife-like gaze, appearing with a strong sense of confidence.

Ye Ling appeared unperturbed. She slowly placed the golden leaf in her open palm and calmly met the young woman’s eyes. “Who said this golden leaf was yours?”

Everyone, including the young woman, was stunned. She opened her mouth, but her mind hadn’t yet processed Ye Ling’s words. Seven or eight seconds later, her voice filled with anger, she asked, “What did you say?”

Ye Ling’s lips curled up slowly, her tone still calm and unruffled. “This golden leaf is mine.”

The young woman was on the verge of exploding with anger. “What nonsense are you spouting? You stole my things, and now you claim they’re yours? Police officer not only is this woman a thief, but she’s also insane! Take her away!”

Even the police officer sensed that something was amiss and looked at Ye Ling with confusion. “Do you realize what you’re saying? How could this golden leaf possibly belong to you?”

Ye Ling slowly turned her head to the police officer. “This golden leaf originally belonged to me. I accidentally dropped it on the ground, and this woman saw it and wanted to extort it from me.”

The young woman was stunned, completely unable to believe that Ye Ling would be so shameless. She was so angry that she almost spat blood.

“What are you talking about? This golden leaf is mine! You’re a thief!” The young woman shouted in a state of fury, her voice sharp, and her cheeks flushed.

Ye Ling smiled, “Do you have any evidence to prove that this golden leaf is yours? Where did you buy it? What about the purchase records?”

The infuriated young woman was momentarily at a loss as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head. Her mouth moved, but she couldn’t produce any sound.

When the police saw the young woman’s reaction, they suddenly felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Liu Lin had initially thought that Ye Ling being taken away by the police was a sure thing. She had never expected such a turn of events.

Was Ye Ling insane? How could this golden leaf possibly be hers?!

Ye Ling looked at the speechless young woman and casually played with the thin golden leaf between her fingers. “If you can prove that this golden leaf is yours, then you can accuse me of being a thief. But for now, it seems you’re unable to provide any evidence. Can I then say that you are framing me?”

The young woman stared at Ye Ling, finally regaining her voice and shouting somewhat crazily, “This golden leaf is mine. It has always been mine!”

However, at this moment, the woman’s voice lacked the initial arrogance and firmness, instead sounding panicked.

The police officer didn’t know who to believe and felt a throbbing headache. He turned to Ye Ling and asked, “Do you have any evidence to prove that this golden leaf is yours?”
