Chapter 3984: A Perfect Match (180)
The shop assistant was self-righteous and said accusingly, “No outsider has been in the store since then except you. If you didn’t steal it, who did?”
Liang Yin was beside herself with anger! She had always been of the view that thieves were like street rats. Anyone would be furious if they were treated as thieves for no reason! She trembled with anger, but tried her best to maintain her composure. She kept her poise and asked, “Do you have any evidence then? Without evidence, this is slander!”
“We’ll do a body search and find out!” said the shop assistant.
“Body search!?” When Liang Yin heard this, she laughed in anger. “Do you know the law?! What right do you have to search ? You’re not the police. What right do you have to carry out a body search on ?”
When she said this, the shop assistant felt that she was objecting because she was guilty!
“Feeling guilty, are you?! The ntion of a body search scares you, doesn’t it?”
“What’s there to be scared of?! I didn’t steal, but you don’t have the right to search ! Besides, you have surveillance caras, don’t you?! All you have to do is look at the surveillance footage!”
“The surveillance system belongs to the mall. We have no right to access it without police approval.” After a pause, the staff continued, “Let give you a piece of advice. You’d better return what you stole imdiately. Otherwise, if we call the police and they’re able to prove that you’ve stolen, you’ll have a criminal record. Understand?”
“…”
Liang Yin shook with anger. She felt humiliated!
She maintained firmly, “Anyway, I didn’t take it, and you have no right to detain ! Go ahead and call the police!”
Having said this, she started walking out.
Seeing that she was about to leave, the service staff was even more certain that she was guilty. It seed she wanted to leave quickly and transfer the stolen goods out of the venue, so she imdiately stopped Liang Yin.
“Soone, help! There’s a thief!” one of the shop assistants shouted. The other shop assistants at the counter happened to be idle. When they heard the shout, they imdiately gathered around.
Soon a small crowd had ford at the Bulgari counter. So of them were shoppers passing by. So were the shop assistants from the neighboring counters. As soon as they heard that soone had stolen sothing, they imdiately rushed over to watch the commotion.
In the presence of this crowd, Liang Yin looked around and saw many people glaring at her and pointing at her. Her pride and dignity started to erode under the looks of disgust that these people cast on her!
Tears welled up in her eyes! She was a headstrong person and never shed tears easily. However, to be treated as a thief and surrounded by so many people made her feel terribly shad!
Even though she felt angry and humiliated, she straightened her back and wiped her tears away fiercely. She said in an icy tone, “Please call the police now! I’m not afraid as I didn’t do anything wrong. It doesn’t make a difference even if the police ca!”
“Alright! You’re stubborn, aren’t you! Since you suggest calling the police and aren’t afraid of making a fool of yourself, what are we afraid of?! Anyway, if we lose sothing, we’ll definitely call the police. Just be prepared for a criminal record!”
The shop assistant went to the side and made the call. The other staff mbers looked at each other, impatience written all over their faces.
If she had stolen sothing, couldn’t she simply return it?
She had been caught, what more did she want?’
Although the store manager had observed all this and quite despised the girl, she nevertheless told Liang Yin patiently, “There’s still a chance now. We don’t want to escalate things unnecessarily. We’ll give you face and hope that you’ll give us so face too. If sothing doesn’t belong to you, you’d have to live with your guilty conscience to keep it, right? If you return it now, we’ll overlook this incident!”
