Chapter 113 - Calm and composed

Xie Yong hurriedly chimed in, "Right, right. I saw the back of that thief with my own eyes. It definitely wasn't Li Yao who hid."

When Xie Yong heard this he rolled his eyes and said: "I, I just coincidentally saw it, what's so strange about that."

Xiang Yun continued asking, "You said that you saw the thief escaping over here, but instead of immediately taking the initiative to chase after the thief and not telling the owner, you went instead to find Yang Guanglin and gather a large group of people to catch the thief?" "What does that mean?"

For a moment, even though Xie Yong was eloquent, he was at a loss of words on how to respond.

Indeed, under normal circ.u.mstances, if the thieves didn't shout loudly, then they should have taken the initiative to give chase. Who would let the thieves escape and then find someone to give chase?

Seeing Xie Yong's stupefied expression, everyone's eyes were filled with doubt. Seeing that the situation was not looking good, Yang Guanglin coldly snorted and said.

"Your Highness, what do you mean? Xie Yong was just a bit timid and didn't dare to chase after us alone, so he came to chase the thief together with us. Is this also wrong?"

"It's just that I'm a little scared!" Xie Yong hurriedly put on an embarra.s.sed expression.

"Hehe, I'm just curious, that's all. Why are you all panicking?" Xiang Yun waved his hand with a face full of amus.e.m.e.nt.

"Your Highness, we should all go after the thief together, but you keep making things difficult for us. Forgive me for being blunt, but do you have a guilty conscience?" Yang Guanglin looked at Xiang Yun with a dark expression!

"Your Highness, how could I dare to doubt you without any proof? I've only heard that you spent a lot of money in the Dragon City just to buy the undergarment of a brothel's top courtesan."

"Such a magnificent feat … I can't help but suspect that the crown prince has a special hobby for such things." Yang Guanglin looked at Xiang Yun with a cold smile, his eyes full of suspicion.

As Yang Guanglin's ill-intentioned words left his mouth, the surrounding onlookers' expressions immediately changed. They looked at Xiang Yun in shock and bewilderment!

As the saying goes, 'the shadow of a famous human tree'. If there was a good person who was renowned throughout the world, there would naturally be a wicked person who was notorious throughout the world. The latter was precisely referring to people like Xiang Yun.

As soon as Yang Guanglin's question and reminder came, everyone immediately grew wary and began to secretly guess that what had happened today was most likely Xiang Yun's doing!

At this moment, Xie Yong, who had been signalled, suddenly jumped out as well. He stared at Xiang Yun as he looked him up and down before suddenly exclaiming in shock, "Aiya, I remember now. That figure just now really does resemble His Highness the crown prince!"

When Xie Yong's shout rang out, the suspicions in everyone's hearts practically turned into certainty. For a moment, everyone stared at Xiang Yun.

This was especially true of the women who had lost their undergarments. They looked at Xiang Yun with eyes that were now somewhat unfriendly.

"Bullsh * t! How could my boss steal a woman's underwear? You f * cker, you even dare to accuse my boss! I think you don't want to live anymore!"

Xie Yong was shocked by the fat cow's sudden shout and quickly retreated. Yang Guanglin, on the other hand, sneered evilly and stepped forward, speaking to the fat cow.

"Young Master Niu, what you're saying is not right. We are dealing with the wrong person today, and we just want to help us find the thief. How can you threaten our witness? Are you one of the accomplices?"

"Pa Pa Pa!"

Right at this moment, a wave of applause suddenly rang out. Everyone turned towards the source of the applause. The person clapping was no one else but Xiang Yun, the number one suspect of the underwear thief who had yet to speak.

"Brilliant, brilliant. Today, I've finally witnessed what it means to confuse the public, to turn black into white, and then to frame another villain." Xiang Yun looked at Yang Guanglin with a cold smile.

"Brother Yang is amazing indeed. In just a few words, you've put on a perverted thief and an accomplice's hat for me."

"Hehe, Your Highness, your words are a bit biased, but this is only a conjecture. If you have a clear conscience, you naturally won't worry about it. If you have a guilty conscience, then you will naturally refute it."

Yang Guanglin stared coldly at Xiang Yun, as if to say, "I've wronged you, so what? Today, I will kill you! "

"Hehe, what a good speculation. But even if it is a speculation, you still have to tell me the evidence. You still have no proof to say that I'm a thief." Xiang Yun retorted without changing his expression.

"It's simple. Since this thief has stolen the personal belongings of the ladies, he must not be able to hide them somewhere else for a short period of time. I think he must have hidden them in his tent as well."

"I don't have the guts to search for His Highness the crown prince." I don't have the guts to search for His Highness the crown prince.

The meaning behind Yang Guanglin's words was clear. If you let us search, then you might be innocent. But if you aren't, then this thief is definitely you, Xiang Yun!

At this moment, Xiang Changan spoke up as well. He cast a sidelong glance at Xiang Yun and said, "What, Xiang Yun, could it be that you really have a guilty conscience and don't dare let us search you?"

"Ha ha!" Faced with the An Lin Party's conspiracy, Xiang Yun laughed loudly, "Since everyone can't trust me, then I, Xiang Yun, have no qualms about searching. I, Xiang Yun, have always dared to do anything, so how can I be afraid!"

Hearing this, Yang Guanglin, Xiang Changan, and Xie Yong looked at each other at the same time, their eyes revealing an almost imperceptible look of pleasant surprise!

"Let's go, to the camp of His Highness, the deceased son!"

Xiang Yun stepped forward and lifted the tent flap for him, "Everyone, please!"

"Hmm?" Seeing Xiang Yun still act so calm at this moment, Yang Guanglin thought sinisterly.

"You still dare to put on an act now? In a moment, you will be caught red-handed, and it will be hard to calm down the anger of the crowd. Let's see how you put on an act then!"

Immediately, Yang Guanglin ordered Xie Yong to bring a few Anlin subordinates to search Xiang Yun's tent.

Xie Yong's face was full of pride as he led his men inside. He first pretended to search the tent.

Immediately, the latter fiercely pushed open the wooden box!

"Ugh!"

The wooden chest that should have been filled to the brim with the messy woman's ap.r.o.n was gone. There was only a neat stack of clothes that Xiang Yun had used to change his clothes.

Xie Yong was dumbfounded. He remembered that the box was not like this back then. He hurriedly reached out and took off the clothes, then looked at the bottom of the box. He still did not see anything.

"This!"

For a moment, cold sweat broke out on Xie Yong's forehead. He clearly remembered that he and Li Yin had personally put away those undergarments. How could they have disappeared!

Xie Yong refused to give up and continued rummaging for a while. He rummaged through almost every single piece of clothing. He even got up and searched through every corner of the tent …

Outside the tent, Yang Guanglin was secretly casting a satisfied glance at Xiang Yun. Seeing Xie Yong walk out of the tent, the latter hurriedly put on a solemn expression of selflessness, "How is it, Xie Yong? What did you find? Take it out and show it to everyone!"

"Ugh …"

"Hmm? What's going on, just tell me what you found out, there's a prince here to uphold justice, you don't have to be afraid! " Yang Guanglin looked at Xie Yong and urged him again with a frown.

Xie Yong had no choice but to lower his head and whisper, "Brother Yang Yang, there's nothing inside this tent?"

"What? Nothing!?" "How is this possible?"

When Yang Guanglin heard this, he almost jumped up!

Hearing this, Xiang Changan, who was standing by the side with his arms crossed and a cold smile on his face, widened his eyes in shock. He almost cried out.

"Hehe, why haven't you found anything in my tent? Are you disappointed?" Xiang Yun asked icily as he looked at the shocked Yang Guanglin.

"Hey, Your Highness, what are you saying? How could I have such thoughts?"

Yang Guanglin quickly covered up his emotions and refused to give up. "However, in order to completely prove your innocence, I'd better go and search him myself."

"What happened to all of you? How did you not manage to find anything? Didn't you say it was already placed?"

Xie Yong was scared out of his wits by Yang Guanglin's glare. He hid his head and said helplessly, "I don't know either, we put our hands in that wooden box, but we couldn't find anything. This is so evil!"

"Hmph, a bunch of idiots who fail when doing anything!" Yang Guanglin cursed in anger, and together with Xie Yong, they carefully searched through the tent once more.

After a long while, Xiang Yun teased from outside the tent.

"You two, you're going to stay in my tent, right? After searching for so long, you still haven't given up yet. Do you want me to find you a shovel or a shovel, just dig three feet out of my tent before searching again?"

As Xiang Yun's voice faded, Yang Guanglin and Xie Yong finally walked out, their faces ashen.

Looking over to the nearby Xiang Changan, whose face was already dark, then back to the mocking and sneering Xiang Yun, Yang Guanglin dropped his head and clasped his hands towards him.

"Your Highness, we've already searched for you and found nothing. It seems that you're innocent. Sorry for bothering you today, let's go." With that said, Yang Guanlin led the large group of bandits and was about to leave!

It was at this moment that Xiang Yun's voice rang out from behind him!

Yang Guanglin turned around in surprise, "Your Highness, do you have any other orders?"

"Yang Guanglin, do you f * cking think that this prince's tent is a brothel, that you can enter as you please, and leave as you please?"

"Yang Guanglin, have you ever heard of a phrase called 'a thief calls a thief'? Today, you've led such a large group of people to shout and arrest the thief. Now, this prince suspects that the true perverted thief is none other than you, Yang Guanglin!"

"Haha!" Yang Guanglin laughed out loud, "Your Highness, you sure know how to joke around, how could I be a thief!"

"Hmph! We'll let the evidence speak for the thief. If he has the guts, then we'll search your tent too!"

"Hehe, so be it. Don't tell me I'm scared!" Yang Guanglin confidently replied.
