Chapter 1277 You Set Me Up
Although, Mengyu’s wallet is quite large, large enough to be considered a small bag, and the money inside is so new that the serial numbers are still consecutive, but putting ten thousand yuan in this small bag seems too forced, doesn’t it?
The police station chief took out the money from the small bag and began to count it on the spot.
If this were a normal situation, a thief would certainly prefer that the wallet he stole contain more money. But now, he hopes the money is as little as possible.
After counting several times, the police chief confirmed there was indeed ten thousand yuan.
This moment, the thief was dumbfounded. Even though he knew Mengyu’s wallet had a lot of money, he didn’t know it was that much. No wonder it felt heavier than a usual wallet when he picked it up.
There turns out to be ten thousand yuan!
Ten thousand yuan, that’s already a large sum, enough for a conviction.
Moreover, at the bottom of the small bag, the police station found the passbook that Mengyu mentioned, counted the zeros, and sure enough, it showed one hundred thousand yuan!
One hundred thousand yuan, ten years in prison would be inevitable.
The thief was in despair and shouted at Mengyu, "Are you freaking playing with me? How do you have so much money, carrying it around to bait me into stealing it so you can trap me in jail? What grudge do you have against me? Why would you set me up like this?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd actually felt the thief made a point. Many looked at Mengyu with questioning eyes. Was this girl really scheming against the thief?
Mengyu was speechless: "I didn’t even want to come initially; it was the comrade in military uniform who said I was the victim and asked me to come, so I did. If I was setting you up, how would I do that by not coming?"
The crowd thought, right, the girl didn’t want to come earlier.
Mengyu continued, "I grew up in the countryside, and now that I have money, I take some back to share with village people, what’s wrong with that? I have a friend running a brick factory in the village; what’s wrong with me investing one hundred thousand yuan in him?"
"My money, my passbook, I keep them in my bag, how am I flaunting? You blindly came to steal from me, why blame me for having money?"
"Besides, I have even more money in my big bag here, and what’s in the small bag is just some pocket money. If I purposely set you up, why not let you steal more?"
Then, Mengyu deliberately opened the big bag, revealing a neatly packed bundle of money. There was no less than one hundred thousand inside.
The crowd couldn’t help but gasp: This girl is incredibly wealthy, isn’t she?
Moreover, she had the audacity to carry so much cash while taking a shuttle bus, how daring!
Mengyu noticed the crowd’s puzzled eyes and added, "This money is meant for donating to my alma mater, so I withdrew it directly."
She turned to the thief, "Do you still think I deliberately set you up?"
Upon hearing, everyone realized the truth: if it was indeed a setup, wouldn’t using one hundred thousand be even more incriminating?
The thief had nothing more to say.
In fact, the thief wasn’t entirely wrong; Mengyu indeed set him up.
Yes, she knew this thief. His name was Xiao Qiang, and he once stole someone’s life-saving money.
Aunt Ding, who lived next door to the Jiang Family and often fed Mengyu when she went hungry there, once had a son. One time, her son fell seriously ill, and Aunt Ding sold family pigs to pay for his treatment, but the money from the pig sale was stolen.
Aunt Ding had no money for her son’s treatment, and by the time she borrowed some and took her son to the hospital, it was too late to save him.
