Extreme Almightiest Young Master Chapter 45
Chapter 045 The Thief Upstairs
"Teacher Lin, what do you mean by ’all set’?" It was Ye Xiaoyu who asked Lin Feng first. She vaguely felt that there was some other implication in Lin Feng’s words.
"It means everything has been taken care of." Lin Feng turned around intending to leave the girls’ dormitory building. Standing here still made him feel a bit awkward. Having done what he did in front of a dozen girls without changing his expression or losing his composure was not something an ordinary person could manage.
Seeing Lin Feng was about to leave, Ye Xiaoyu quickly pulled Mao Rongrong to accompany him downstairs. Lin Feng thought there were some things he still needed to tell them alone, so he didn’t stop them and let them follow him out.
Just as Lin Feng and the two school beauties had left the building, the group of girls who were upstairs before completely erupted into discussion again.
"What do you think Teacher Lin was really up to just now?"
"I don’t think he came to catch the thief, it seemed like he was specifically investigating the two school beauties."
"No matter what, I just can’t believe he was here to help catch the thief. Who does that so openly and straightforwardly!"
"Maybe he actually has a way? Maybe his method is just a bit special?"
"Stop dreaming. I bet he just came to take a look and doesn’t have any solutions. The school has been investigating for so long, how could he solve it just by showing up?"
"Exactly, who does he think he is."
.........
No one could believe Lin Feng’s words. Just like that, it was all set? It was impossible to catch the thief that way!
Once they exited the dormitory’s main door, Lin Feng saw that no one was around and directly said to Ye Xiaoyu and her companion, "Go back and lock the laundry room’s door. Don’t touch the clothes, and if you find clothes missing again tomorrow, come find me. That’s it, go back upstairs and rest."
Without waiting for the two to respond, Lin Feng simply turned his head and walked away.
"Sister Rongrong, do you believe Teacher Lin can catch the thief?" As Lin Feng walked away, Ye Xiaoyu turned to ask Mao Rongrong.
"How should I put it, it’s hard for me to believe without reason. Besides taking a serious look around, he didn’t do anything else." Mao Rongrong frowned. If not for what Lin Feng said just before he left, she would never have believed him.
But to say Lin Feng came to take advantage of the situation didn’t seem right either, because it was she and Ye Xiaoyu who actively sought out Lin Feng. Most importantly, Lin Feng didn’t give off any untoward vibes.
At least, when they were with Zhao Jian, Zhao Jian’s gaze made them uncomfortable, but even when Lin Feng arrived at the dorm, despite feeling a bit embarrassed in front of so many people, it didn’t feel inappropriate.
"Yeah, I don’t believe it either. How could catching a thief be that simple?" Ye Xiaoyu also felt somewhat depressed. Could it be that their omnipotent Teacher Lin wasn’t so capable after all?
"What depresses me most is that Teacher Lin must already know all our secrets by now." For some reason, Ye Xiaoyu suddenly remembered Lin Feng’s actions, certain that he must have noted the sizes of the clothes.
Why didn’t I think of this when I was upstairs? Ye Xiaoyu wondered to herself.
"Don’t talk about it; it’s infuriating. You silly girl, can’t you be a bit more reserved? We are girls, after all. Why do you have to say everything? Aren’t you embarrassed at all?" Mao Rongrong looked at Ye Xiaoyu angrily, puzzled by what the girl could be thinking.
"Alright, Sister Rongrong, I know I was wrong. Please don’t be angry, okay? Let’s go upstairs." Ye Xiaoyu, pulling the somewhat angry Mao Rongrong, headed upstairs. Yet in her mind, she thought that it might not be such a bad thing for Teacher Lin to know all this; it only made it clearer that she and Sister Rongrong were of the same kind.
Hmph, there’s absolutely no faking that!
Mao Rongrong looked at her childhood friend and felt a headache coming on. Judging by her friend’s expression, there was no sign of shyness or any other feeling, but rather a look of triumph. She really didn’t understand what was going on in the girl’s mind.
The two of them were chatting downstairs when suddenly a male voice reached them.
"Xiaoyu, Rongrong, what a coincidence, you’re here." Shi Lei looked at Mao Rongrong and Xiaoyu with a sunny demeanor.
"Shi Lei, what are you doing near the girls’ dormitory?!" exclaimed Ye Xiaoyu, surprised to see Shi Lei.
This Shi Lei had once been Mao Rongrong’s high school classmate, and later followed Mao Rongrong all the way to Yingbo University in pursuit of her. One could say that he relentlessly chased after Mao Rongrong. Mao Rongrong was quite speechless about this admirer, but there was nothing she could do to stop him. Most of the time, it was Ye Xiaoyu who stepped in to help fend him off.
Seeing that it was Shi Lei, Ye Xiaoyu promptly pulled Mao Rongrong to her side, then she started chatting with Shi Lei.
Shi Lei is currently the Deputy Director of the Student Council’s Life Department at Yingbo University, responsible for dormitory management, and had gone with some of the other council members to the dormitory area to understand the situation when dormitory thefts broke out a couple of days ago.
"Just passing by, and I happened to see you two here, so I came over to say hello," said Shi Lei, looking at the two school beauties, his heart also very excited. Although he had pursued them for several years without success, who could fault someone for being beautiful? They indeed had the capital.
And Shi Lei also believed that he would be successful sooner or later.
"Sister Rongrong, I suddenly feel so sleepy, let’s go upstairs to sleep," Ye Xiaoyu yawned, pretending to be very sleepy. Years of combat experience told her that they needed to retreat quickly at this moment.
Hmm, without even saying a word to Rongrong, you’re going upstairs? Shi Lei’s eyes nearly burst with frustration. It was not easy to encounter such an opportunity, I mean, am I not? Ye Xiaoyu, you troublemaker.
"Rongrong, did you catch the thief in your dorm?" Shi Lei asked with feigned concern, trying to find an opportunity to interact more with Mao Rongrong.
"Not yet, well... Shi Lei, you see, Rongrong is tired. Xiaoyu and I will go upstairs first, we can talk another time," said Mao Rongrong, using Ye Xiaoyu’s excuse to pull her upstairs directly, leaving Shi Lei standing there looking foolish.
Watching the backs of the two school beauties, Shi Lei’s face showed a very cold expression as he muttered to himself, "Damn thief, you will never catch them. Don’t think you can act this way towards me, sooner or later, I will definitely make you two mine. See if you are still so proud then. I just haven’t found the opportunity yet, but once I do..."
..........
The next morning, as soon as Ye Xiaoyu got up, she rushed to the laundry room to check if any clothes had been stolen again.
She found that the several pieces she had hung out yesterday were all gone again. After discussing with Mao Rongrong back in the room and having breakfast, they went straight to find Lin Feng.
Lin Feng arrived at the school quite early today because he felt that the two school beauties would likely come to find him that morning. Just after he’d briefly tidied up his office, there came a knock at the door.
"Xiaoyu and Rongrong, wait outside for a moment, I’ll be right out," Lin Feng casually replied as he put down his tools and wiped his hands before coming out.
"Huh? We haven’t even spoken, how does he know it’s us?" Ye Xiaoyu looked puzzled at Mao Rongrong.
"Is it possible he guessed that something would be stolen and we would definitely come today?" Mao Rongrong suddenly felt she understood something about what Lin Feng had said yesterday, but she was still very confused.
If he could predict that, then Teacher Lin was not just a versatile teacher, he was... he was...
Ye Xiaoyu couldn’t figure out how to describe him at the moment.
"Another theft?" Lin Feng opened the door and saw the two school beauties, basically understanding the situation.
"You guessed it right, the clothes from yesterday are all gone," Ye Xiaoyu looked at Lin Feng with a helpless Mengmeng expression, thinking to herself, you’ve got it right.
"Let’s go check it out," Lin Feng didn’t pay attention to Ye Xiaoyu’s expression and walked briskly towards the girls’ dormitory.
Mao Rongrong didn’t say anything, and quickly grabbed Ye Xiaoyu’s hand, the two of them silently followed behind Lin Feng, both eager to find out how Teacher Lin intended to catch the damn thief, as from the beginning to end, Teacher Lin seemed to only fiddle around a bit.
But something very strange happened. This time, Lin Feng, unexpectedly did not go upstairs. Instead, he walked around the building for a bit and then inexplicably walked in another direction.
"Sister Rongrong, what is Teacher Lin doing?" Xiaoyu couldn’t understand Lin Feng’s actions, thinking that if he wanted to check the scene where the clothes were lost, he should have gone upstairs. What’s the use in circling around here?
"Don’t talk, just follow and see what happens," Mao Rongrong pulled Xiaoyu closer, seeing Lin Feng’s serious expression and convinced that he must have some reason for his actions.
The two of them followed Lin Feng and unexpectedly wound up next to a boys’ dormitory. They were surprised to see Lin Feng stop there and scrutinize the building.
Lin Feng looked up at the wall, his mind now thoroughly clear on what was going on.
"The thief is in this building upstairs, what do you think we should do?" Lin Feng, after thinking it over, decided to first ask the two school beauties how they wanted to handle the situation.
"I must see which bastard has the nerve to steal my things. Right, wait a minute, it must be dealt with in the presence of the Academic Affairs Office. Such a person cannot be let off easily," Ye Xiaoyu’s anger flared up upon hearing Lin Feng say that the damn thief was in this building. She couldn’t express her disgust at the thought that someone had been continually stealing her personal clothing; this crazy thief could not be let go.
Mao Rongrong also nodded slightly in agreement with Ye Xiaoyu, fearful that if such a scourge was not removed, something worse might happen in the future, plus she had lost the most.
Seeing that both had made their stance clear, Lin Feng didn’t say anything else and directly used the internal phone at the dormitory uncle’s place to call the Academic Affairs Office.
