"Bastard!"
Li Ziling clutched her face, lowering her head in fear.
As the middle-aged woman's palm was about to strike Li Ziling's face, Chen Jie couldn't bear it any longer.
He was about to intervene when Gong Jian, with a grin, blocked the middle-aged woman. "Auntie, there's no need for that! Just get my wallet back!"
"Little sister, I don't want to wrongly accuse you. I just need to check your bag. You don't have to be so nervous, do you?"
Gong Jian said to Li Ziling.
Li Ziling explained, "I'm not nervous!"
"But, as you can see, you're the most suspicious right now. If you don't let us check your bag, everyone will hold you accountable!" Gong Jian said helplessly.
Li Ziling was so anxious she was about to cry.
Her bag absolutely could not be checked by others.
But in this situation, she could only accept her fate.
She could only say with great grievance, "Fine, check it then! I'll let you check!"
Gong Jian's eyes lit up.
The middle-aged woman roared, "Let me do it! I'll personally expose the liar's true face!"
She snatched the bag, her face full of malice. This poor wretch dared to slap her face; she would definitely mock her severely later.
Seeing that she was about to open the bag, Li Ziling looked despairing, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Wait a moment!"
"Let me check!" Chen Jie finally couldn't stand it anymore.
Although he didn't know what was in Li Ziling's bag that she was so afraid to reveal, he couldn't bear to see so many people bullying a young girl.
"You..." Li Ziling looked at Chen Jie, her pretty face filled with even more despair.
She thought to herself, "It's over."
This handsome man must be looking down on her and wants to expose her himself.
Having a man check her bag was even more unbearable for her than having this middle-aged woman check it.
"Hahaha... Young man, I like people like you who come to the rescue. Come, you check it!"
The middle-aged woman excitedly handed the bag to Chen Jie.
At the same time, she winked at Chen Jie.
She saw that the young man had a distinguished demeanor and couldn't help but feel a sense of liking.
She thought Chen Jie was on her side, helping her vent her anger.
Chen Jie felt a wave of disgust. How could he not see that the middle-aged woman wanted the man to expose Li Ziling's true colors and deliver the harshest blow to her?
As he took Li Ziling's bag, his heart stirred, and he saw the bulge of a wallet under the middle-aged woman's pocket.
So he used his storage ring to retrieve it, and at the same time, he slipped it into Gong Jian's pocket.
The storage ring couldn't retrieve large objects from a distance, but for small items like a wallet, it could easily collect them within a meter.
Chen Jie was somewhat curious why Li Ziling was afraid of others checking her bag if she hadn't stolen the wallet.
But he knew that if Li Ziling was unwilling to reveal it publicly, she must have her reasons.
So he didn't open it immediately to show everyone, but instead lifted it slightly to peek inside.
Upon seeing this, Chen Jie immediately looked enlightened.
He thought, "No wonder."
It turned out that Li Ziling's bag contained some women's intimate apparel.
Among them, a thong was particularly conspicuous.
If such items were exposed to everyone, Li Ziling, as a woman, would definitely not be able to accept it.
"Young man, quickly take out the wallet!" the middle-aged woman urged.
Li Ziling looked desperate.
Her face turned bright red.
Chen Jie glanced at Li Ziling, directly put the private items into his storage ring.
"Take what out? The young lady didn't steal the wallet!" Chen Jie flipped Li Ziling's bag upside down, and some cosmetics fell all over the ground.
But the wallet did not appear.
Ah!
Li Ziling let out a scream, already prepared to be shamed in public.
But the next second, she froze.
Because the things in the bag that she was unwilling to show were all gone.
"Impossible!" Gong Jian was also stunned and quickly snatched the bag to search.
But after searching for a while, his expression became uncertain.
Because there was indeed nothing inside.
He looked incredibly incredulous.
He had clearly placed the wallet in Li Ziling's bag beforehand.
How could it be gone?
There was twenty thousand yuan of his money in there!
Chen Jie bent down and picked up the cosmetics one by one.
"I don't believe it. With my years of experience, this wallet was definitely stolen by her! Let me see!" The middle-aged woman, unwilling to admit defeat, snatched the bag and searched.
But she still found nothing.
"Enough! So many people bullying a young girl, what is this about?"
The driver couldn't stand it and shouted.
"Hmph! I still think you're the thief! Where did you hide the wallet? Hand it over!"
The middle-aged woman, scolded by the driver, became enraged and shouted at Li Ziling.
"I know! Your bag has a hidden compartment, right? You must have put it in the hidden compartment! What kind of junk bag is this? Bought one get one free for fifty yuan, and it has so many tricks! I don't believe I can't find it!" The middle-aged woman, still unwilling to give up, continued to rummage.
Chen Jie frowned and shouted, "Stop! Are you done? Could it be that you stole the wallet and want to plant it on her?"
"You? What did you say? You little piece of trash, you look decent, but you say such things!"
The middle-aged woman, as if her soft spot had been hit, jumped up, "I know! You little scoundrel, you must be trying to curry favor with the girl because she's pretty! Men really are animals who think with their lower bodies! Don't jump around in front of me! I'm not falling for your tricks!"
"I wonder who's jumping around so much! I think it's you who stole the wallet and want to frame her! Now that the young lady has proven her innocence, why don't you prove yours?" Chen Jie sneered.
"I'll be damned... I'm a reputable private investigator, what am I afraid of! I'll prove my innocence right now!"
The middle-aged woman became agitated and started patting herself down all over: "I don't have many pockets. Come, I'll check myself. Keep your dog eyes wide open and watch closely!"
"My top only has one pocket, nothing there, empty!"
"I have a wallet in my pants pocket, it's mine!"
"Keep your dog eyes open and see clearly! Let's see how your foul mouth can continue to bite me!"
The middle-aged woman spat furiously, completely failing to notice that her wallet had changed color.
Chen Jie pointed at the wallet in his hand, "You're a woman, using a man's wallet?"
"What man's wallet? This is an authentic Dior ladies' wallet, good heavens, are your eyes stuck in your crotch? Can't use them, so dug them out and donated them to a porn inspector!"
"Ah! That wallet is mine!" Gong Jian exclaimed, pointing with his finger, looking bewildered.
"What yours? Huh? Why has my wallet changed? This isn't mine!" The middle-aged woman seemed to feel the texture was wrong.
She quickly opened it to look.
A driver's license was tucked inside, and the name on the license was Gong Jian.
