Chapter 411: The Manager Is Not Around
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Gu Rou, we didn’t steal the wine. If they want to investigate, so be it. Why are you stopping them? Let’s settle the matter as soon as possible and continue having fun.”
Originally, it was a good cla.s.s reunion, but who knew that it would end up like this? Some people were a little impatient, but they could not afford to offend these people. They could only place all their resentment on the less powerful Gu Rou.
Gu Rou was caught between a rock and a hard place. Other than cooperating with their investigation, she had no other choice. However, there would only be one result from the investigation. She was the wine thief.
Since she could not avoid it, she might as well take this opportunity to leave quickly. At the very least, she would not lose face in front of so many people. As for what happened after that, it would not be a big deal to contact Gu Yuan in advance.
With this thought in mind, Gu Rou had already begun to think of an excuse to leave.
She walked to her bag, picked it up, and spoke apologetically.
“I’m sorry, but I suddenly remembered that I have something urgent to attend to, so I’ll leave first. I won’t stay any longer. I wish you all a good time.”
After saying this, Gu Rou hurriedly wanted to walk out, but how could Gu Man let her leave so easily? She grabbed her arm and said bluntly.
“Don’t forget that you’re also one of the suspects. How can you leave?”
“How can I be a suspect? Sister, I know you’ve always disliked me, but it’s better not to accuse me. Besides, I really have something urgent to leave. Sister, please don’t stop me.”
As she spoke, she hurriedly wanted to walk out, but Gu Man refused to let go of her wrist.
“It’s not just you. Anyone who has drunk the Romance Conti today is not allowed to leave, be it from this private room or other private rooms. Gu Rou, do you have any questions?”
Gu Rou’s expression was terrible. She bit her lower lip and let the blood flow down her chin. She did not realize that her fear and urge to leave had reached their limit.
Gu Rou’s abnormality was also noticed by others. For a moment, the seed of suspicion was planted in everyone’s hearts.
If she really didn’t do anything, why did she want to leave in a hurry? If she didn’t do anything, why did she try her best to change the topic at the beginning?
“Gu Rou, didn’t you say that this wine was stored here? We just have to ask the Manager if you took the wine today. There’s also the Manager to testify for you. Anyway, it won’t take long to ask. Just wait here.”
How could Gu Rou dare to let others ask? When she glared at the person who spoke, she actually panicked and blurted out.
“The Manager wasn’t around when I went to get the wine, so I’m afraid he doesn’t know. Because I was in a hurry, I didn’t let them register.”
These words sounded extremely pale, but it was the only explanation Gu Rou could think of. Anyway, if she refused to admit it, this group of people could not do anything.
However, even if she was going to be embarra.s.sed, she couldn’t be embarra.s.sed here. There were so many of her high school cla.s.smates here. How could Gu Rou tolerate their disdainful gazes?
She had always been sought after by everyone.
“How can it be such a coincidence? My wine is gone, and you did not register. It’s not a big day today, and I’m afraid there aren’t many people who opened up a bottle of Romance Conti. If you really did retrieve the wine, the Manager will definitely remember you. You don’t have to worry about his memory.”
Bai Yun said sarcastically. Then, his gaze landed on Cui Lin, who was standing at the door and watching the show. He gestured for him to call the Manager.
Cui Lin was enjoying the show when he suddenly received Bai Yun’s gaze. He quickly turned around and left the private room.
Since he had already left, it was useless no matter how Gu Rou tried to stop him. She gritted her teeth and prepared to find another excuse.
“I want to go to the toilet. You won’t stop me, right?”
Bai Yun was expressionless, but he did not reject her. Gu Rou finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Even if she would be suspected if she left now, she was not present anyway. No matter what they said, there was no evidence. Gu Rou was about to walk towards the door when Gu Man stopped her again. She felt a little impatient..
