Chapter 272: Chapter 251: Returning One’s Own Methods

Ji Xizhi heard the words, and her voice softened instead, her lips curling into a smile. Because the sun was too scorching, Ji Xizhi’s beautiful face turned a bit red from the sunshade equipment. Now that she had just taken it off, her cheeks still had a hint of dewy red, and the strands of hair at her temples were slightly damp with sweat, clinging to her cheeks, not looking disheveled, but exuding a youthful vigor.

The program team’s hidden camera happened to be aimed at most of Ji Xizhi’s face, stunning countless fans once again with this shot.

[I really thought I was used to Ji Xizhi’s beauty, but now, I have to loudly declare that from now on, the face of my first love in my mind is Zhi Zhi!]

[SOS, ambulance, my heart is about to leap out, begging for Zhi Zhi to star in a school drama. Just for this face, I could watch it dozens of times!]

[Don’t even think about it, that’s not in Zhi Zhi’s target range~]

[Well, you can’t say it’s not possible; with a change of thought, a school legal awareness drama isn’t out of the question!]

[Good idea, @ all major scriptwriters and directors, who’ll take the lead?]

The fans in the live broadcast room remained fixated on the idea of a school drama.

But on this side, Ji Xizhi had entered the legal channel.

She stood in front of the young boy and said, “Oh? Then what right do you have to search her body?”

The young boy seemed not to have considered this, and he looked at the sister in front of him, who didn’t seem much older, instinctively answering, “Of course, because she took Xiao Yuan’s necklace…”

As soon as the boy finished speaking, the young girl beside the bulletin board sharply yelled again.

“I didn’t take it! I said I didn’t!!!”

Ji Xizhi turned back to glance at the girl, smiled at her, then turned back to continue questioning the boy, “Do you have any evidence that she took the necklace?”

Boy: “She won’t let me search her, that’s the evidence!”

[Damn! My fists are clenched, where does this kid get such twisted logic?]

[Actually, kids this age might not even know what’s going on; it’s just a subconscious notion…]

Ji Xizhi did not refute the boy’s statement, “Alright then.”

She paused, the smile on her face suddenly vanished, replaced by a hint of ferocity.

“I just lost twenty yuan here, did you see it?”

The boy was startled by Ji Xizhi’s sudden change of topic, but since it involved money, he quickly replied, “I didn’t see it.”

Ji Xizhi calmly said, “Then let me search you to prove you didn’t see or take it!”

[I laughed, turning his own logic back on him, brilliant!]

[If I’m not mistaken, it seems the boy really has twenty yuan in his pocket, judging by that corner sticking out, right? Zhi Zhi is too clever!]

The boy’s face froze under Ji Xizhi’s skeptical gaze. He did have a twenty-yuan note in his pocket, but it was a reward secretly given by his grandmother when she visited last week, not something he picked up!

The boy’s neck turned red, and he instinctively covered his pocket, shouting, “I didn’t see it! I just came over, everyone can testify, I never saw any money!”

As soon as the boy spoke, several other companions nearby chimed in to testify.

“Yeah, we can all vouch for Xiao Gang, he didn’t see it!”

“I can testify too!”

“Me too~”

Ji Xizhi smiled slightly, her eyes sweeping over them: “No, you’re all in cahoots, so I don’t trust you. Therefore, all of you have to let me search you next!”

The boy was stunned.

The other assisting classmates were also stunned.

Even the girl under the bulletin board, who had been screaming her objections, forgot her emotions, staring at Ji Xizhi in surprise.

The boy paused for a long while and finally recalled the question Ji Xizhi asked him, and with newfound courage, he questioned Ji Xizhi back: “Then what evidence do you have to prove it was me?!”

Ji Xizhi: “Because you won’t let me search you.”

The boy was stumped again.

Seeing this, Ji Xizhi calmly pointed to the hidden camera of the program team not far away: “Do you know there’s a television recording in the nearby village?” Find the newest release on novᴇlfire.net

“I’m someone who’s on TV, and now there are many people on TV who can prove I just lost money here. If you don’t let me search, that means you took my money!”

Ji Xizhi’s reasoning was one after another, even bringing in the broadcast from the program team.

[Amazed, it’s the first time seeing Zhi Zhi being so harsh to kids, hahaha!]

[I’m a tough bamboo, let me be a witness, let me be a witness, I’ll vouch for Zhi Zhi now!]

[Friendly reminder, making false statements is illegal!]

The elementary school kids had never seen such a situation before, especially it being televised, and the boy leading the group tugged at his pocket, almost crying.

“My twenty yuan was given by my grandmother last week! I never picked up money, I didn’t! You can search me, apart from my grandmother’s, I have no money left!”

As soon as the boy spoke, the other companions also moved forward to offer to be searched to prove themselves.

The girl under the bulletin board was stunned by Ji Xizhi’s words. She looked at Ji Xizhi, then at the classmates lining up to be searched one by one.

Ji Xizhi, of course, didn’t actually reach out to search them; she just turned to glance at the girl.

Just a brief exchange of glances, and the clever girl understood Ji Xizhi’s intention.

She wiped her eyes and walked up to Ji Xizhi.

Without Ji Xizhi saying a word, the girl proactively spoke to the group of boys.

“If you didn’t take it, why let her search?”

The boy was a bit bewildered, “But she said I took the 20 yuan…”

Girl: “She’s not the police! What she says isn’t necessarily right, and even if she were the police, she can’t search without reason!”

Ji Xizhi hadn’t expected the girl to articulate this.

Her appreciation for the girl suddenly increased, and she even felt a sense of resonance.

In a way, she and the girl faced the same situation.

The girl was up against classmates who didn’t understand the law.

Ji Xizhi was up against illegal scenarios in the world of this storybook.

But fortunately, it all would be corrected eventually.

Ji Xizhi rested her chin on her hand, her eyes growing ever clearer.

Fans in the live room also noticed the change in Ji Xizhi’s gaze.

[I saw Zhi Zhi’s eyes light up~ It’s the look when spotting talent!]

[This girl is quite strong; if everyone around has been searched and she alone stands firm, it’s really not easy!]

[There’s a saying, if the whole world says something wrong is right, do you have the courage to tell everyone it’s wrong? Changing yourself is easy, changing the world is hard!]

[No matter what, I always believe Zhi Zhi can change the world!]

[Changing the world starts with children, Zhi Zhi hands out business cards: Little friend, interested in studying law when you grow up?]

[You guys are scary, involving even kids this young?]
