Extreme Almightiest Young Master Chapter 47

"Please come in." The boys in room 404 quickly got dressed, then opened the door again and let Liu Gang and the others in.

Room 404 was too small to accommodate everyone, so along with Liu Gang, Lin Feng, the student council president, and two popular girls entered the room. The rest of the people stood in the hallway, and some with more curiosity stepped forward to chat with the girls nearby.

"What exactly is going on, classmate?"

"Do you know about the underwear theft in our girls’ dorm?"

"Of course, who doesn’t know about such a big incident? Uh, what does that have to do with the boys’ dorm?"

"Duh, the underwear thief is in room 404. We’re here to catch the thief. Why else would we come to your boys’ dorm?"

"What, you’re saying the underwear thief is in 404?" The boy was so shocked that he couldn’t control his volume and almost yelled it out. He couldn’t believe it. The four guys in 404, two were student council officers, and the other two were class leaders. How could they be the thieves? That was just ludicrous.

You see, this dorm room was quite impressive. Normally, they were looked up to as role models.

"Holy crap, so they’re here to catch the underwear thief. No wonder."

"I was wondering why there were so many girls coming up. They’re actually here to catch the underwear thief."

"That’s a mistake. How could there be an underwear thief in room 404?"

"You can’t be sure, being good at studies doesn’t mean a person is good, and bad people don’t have the word ’bad’ stamped on their foreheads."

...

This was really embarrassing for the guys.

If you steal, just steal, but it’s not right to get caught red-handed.

If you don’t have the skills, then don’t steal!

...

Each guy in the crowd harbored his own thoughts, some discussing, some internally despising the underwear thief in room 404, and some in disbelief.

For a moment, people had all sorts of ideas, all staring at the room, curious about what would happen.

But then, upon entering the room, Mao Rongrong and the others encountered someone they didn’t expect.

"Shi Lei, what are you doing here?"

"Rongrong, what are you doing here?"

...

They had just seen him last night at the girls’ dorm building, and now to see Shi Lei at this underwear thief catching scene was both surprising and odd for Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu.

Shi Lei saw Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu, as well as the student council president and Teacher Liu from the Academic Affairs Office behind them. A vague worry crept into his mind. What were they here for? Could it really be about the underwear?

That’s impossible. With my skills, no one should have seen me. Plus, I only acted when people were in their deepest sleep; how could I have been discovered? It must be something else. Stay calm, you must stay calm. How could these ordinary people find out what I’ve been up to?

Though he thought this, Shi Lei suddenly wondered again, but what else could bring these people together?

Lin Feng glanced at the window and pointed directly at a bed beside it, asking, "Whose bed is this?"

As Lin Feng pointed at his own bed, Shi Lei’s heart began to race. What did this mean? Why was he specifically targeting his bed? Could it be......

"That’s my bed. Is there any problem?" Shi Lei suppressed his racing heart and asked calmly.

"Oh, so you’re the underwear thief," Lin Feng said, assessing the young man named Shi Lei in front of him. He could climb up to the fourth floor barehanded—not bad skills at all. If only he’d put his mind to good use. There aren’t many who practice cultivation these days, and to be able to do what he could was no mean feat. It’s a shame to be committing such despicable acts.

"On what grounds do you claim I’m the underwear thief? What evidence do you have to spout such nonsense?" When Shi Lei heard Lin Feng’s words, his head buzzed, and he almost fainted. Who on earth is this person, and how does he know it’s me?

And he’s so certain about it, even bringing people over. What’s going on, what’s happening?

But Shi Lei believed in one thing—if he clenched his teeth and stubbornly denied it until the end, there might still be a chance to get through this. If he admitted it, all hope would be lost. So, when Lin Feng questioned him, he behaved like a cat whose tail had been stepped on; anyone seeing his reaction would never believe that Shi Lei was the underwear thief.

Although he didn’t know why this person accused him of stealing underwear, Shi Lei believed that, after all, he was a student council officer, and without any actual evidence, they couldn’t do anything to him.

In such a situation, you must never confess.

"What, you... you’re saying Shi Lei is the underwear thief??" Ye Xiaoyu’s mouth could have fit an egg in it. No matter how Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu thought about it, they could never have imagined that Shi Lei could be the underwear thief; it’s something no one would believe.

In the past, although Shi Lei had pursued Mao Rongrong, he was always polite and restrained. Although he could not move Mao Rongrong’s heart, in the eyes of both Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu, Shi Lei was quite decent—a kind person, excellent in studies, tall, and even though his family was not very wealthy, all other conditions were quite good.

And in their minds, whoever the underwear thief was, they equated them with perverts, ruffians, scum—how could it possibly be someone so familiar?

Now, both Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu were somewhat dumbfounded, looking at Lin Feng with puzzled faces, thinking, Teacher Lin, you couldn’t have made a mistake, could you?

"Shi Lei is the underwear thief? How could that be possible? He’s a student council officer, and he’s always been performing very well, how could he do such a thing? Could there be a mix-up?" The student council president hadn’t expected to encounter Shi Lei here either. And the most frustrating thing was that Shi Lei was accused of stealing girls’ underwear, such a slap in the face for the student council, and he simply couldn’t believe that the competent and honest Shi Lei would do such a thing.

So, at this moment, he couldn’t help but step forward to ask for clarification, after all, this was not only about Shi Lei’s own issues but also about the reputation of the student council.

"Could you have made a mistake? Shi Lei is with us every night and never goes out. Our dorm room door is locked from the inside at night, and some of us are light sleepers; we would definitely know if he went out," a few of Shi Lei’s roommates also couldn’t believe that he would be the underwear thief, and someone raised doubts.

Because the underwear theft had caused such an uproar, happening in the middle of the night, they couldn’t believe it was Shi Lei. They simply could not accept it. We live together every day; he wouldn’t have the time.

"Are you sure it’s this Shi Lei?" Liu Gang was also surprised; how did Lin Feng determine the thief was Shi Lei?

At this moment, Liu Gang also felt that he should have asked more carefully. Although the other party was a student, he was a student council officer, and given the circumstances, if things weren’t clarified, they might really cause some trouble.

"If the bed is his, then there’s no mistake," Lin Feng said calmly and with unwavering conviction.

"Do you have proof?" Liu Gang thought for a moment; it is better to have both the thief and the stolen goods.

Although he felt it was a bit late to ask now, Liu Gang knew he had to clarify things at this moment. Thinking about it, this situation had become too big; if they caught neither the person nor the evidence, that would be troublesome.

Without responding to Liu Gang’s question, Lin Feng went straight to Shi Lei’s bed and reached underneath it...

Seeing Lin Feng’s movements, Shi Lei started blinking frantically, scared because there was a box under there filled with the underwear he had stolen from Mao Rongrong and Ye Xiaoyu. If that was found, there would be no turning back. But no matter how anxious he felt, there was nothing he could do. If he showed any abnormal behavior now, it would undoubtedly be a case of "thou dost protest too much," cementing his reputation as the underwear thief. How could this be? How did Lin Feng know to look there?

All of this was too unbelievable, too baffling. Shi Lei would never have done this without that confidence, yet this person had somehow cracked it. Who on earth was this man? Even my master wouldn’t have been able to track me, a teacher, how could he possibly have tracked me.

In front of everyone’s gaze, Lin Feng pulled out a small suitcase and, in front of everyone, placed it on the table, intending to open it for all to see.

The moment Shi Lei saw what was happening, he couldn’t hold back anymore. He rushed over to try to snatch the suitcase away, but to his astonishment, he found that the suitcase seemed to be affixed to Lin Feng’s hand; no matter how hard he pulled, he couldn’t get it out. Finally, Shi Lei couldn’t stand it any longer and exploded.

"Who the hell are you anyway? What right do you have to rummage through my stuff? Let go," Shi Lei suddenly shouted. Inside, he cursed Lin Feng’s ancestors countless times; what business was it of yours, why are you meddling?

Shi Lei was now determined not to let anyone touch his belongings. Once this was over, he planned to move them; as long as no direct evidence was found, they couldn’t accuse him of anything.

Shi Lei’s voice rose sharply, and he reacted as though his tail had been stomped on, his abnormal behavior catching everyone’s eye instantly.

Everyone immediately sensed that something was off. Even if someone was wrongly accused, that reaction seemed too extreme. Usually, if there really was nothing to hide, having a look wouldn’t be a big deal—it could even prove one’s innocence. On the other hand, now that he wouldn’t let anyone look, that was the real problem.

"Did you hear me? Let go immediately," Shi Lei was truly panicked; being discovered in front of so many people at such a time would be disastrous.

To his astonishment, although he had trained for many years and usually any ordinary school teacher, let alone the so-called martial arts champions or typical special forces soldiers, wouldn’t last a few rounds against him, today, this man’s hand seemed immovable.

Could it be his panic was affecting his reaction? Just as Shi Lei was shocked and trying to quickly adjust, trying to pry Lin Feng’s hand open to prevent him from snooping...

Lin Feng, undistracted and unaffected, had already opened the suitcase.
