Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Called Over for a Confrontation

"It’s impossible. The sheet music was still with me when I practiced the piano at noon today, and then I put it in my backpack. Both of you followed me to practice. I’m certain I didn’t lose it—it must have been stolen!"

Her voice turned cold, echoing loudly in the empty practice room, with Gu Yue standing at the door.

"What’s wrong?"

His tall figure at the door seemed to ease Shen Xuan’s tense expression slightly, her heart feeling incredibly irritated, her eyes misting over.

"Young Master Gu, you’ve come at the right time. Shen Xuan’s sheet music has been stolen, and we have no idea who did it! It’s outrageous! That sheet music was meant for her competition in Beijing!" Zhao Min became more outraged as she thought about it.

Stealing the sheet music was just despicably low, Shen Xuan was still fine-tuning it—without it, she couldn’t play smoothly, let alone compete.

Gu Yue frowned, "Are you sure you didn’t accidentally misplace it somewhere? Think about it again."

Yang Xing and others came along too, eavesdropping from the window. Shen Xuan’s sheet music was missing?

That music sheet seemed very important; she practiced with it every day.

"It’s impossible. I even looked at it again at noon today, and after class, I put it in my backpack. It couldn’t have just disappeared."

Her complexion was ugly—thinking this way made it indeed possible it was stolen.

Zhao Min said, "Then it must have been stolen. Why would anyone steal a sheet of music!"

Inside Shen Xuan’s backpack there was money, a necklace, and bracelets—they didn’t steal those, just a sheet of music?

This person definitely did it on purpose!

"Think about it again," Gu Yue frowned, wondering why would anyone steal a sheet of music.

"I’ve thought about it, there’s only one possibility." She shook her head, her fingers twisting the hem of her clothing, feeling both anxious and uneasy.

Right now, they still didn’t know what the thief wanted to do with the music sheet—whether it was out of jealousy or wanting to possess it themselves.

"Don’t worry. I just informed the teacher, and they asked us to come over. The school will investigate," Zhao Min comforted her, determined to catch the thief and have him expelled from First Middle School!

"Mhm." Shen Xuan lowered her gaze, only she knew how anxious she was about that music sheet, her palms already starting to sweat.

The group went to Ms. Liu Xiaoyan’s office.

"I’ve heard about your situation. Do you remember the last time you saw the sheet music?" Ms. Liu Xiaoyan asked sternly, hoping that Shen Xuan would be admitted to the Piano Association, which would enhance her own status.

How could they compete if the competition music sheet was stolen?

Regardless, she was determined to thoroughly investigate this matter!

Not just her, but other teachers in the office were taking note of her serious expression and the gathered students, thinking another clash between classes was brewing, all ears prying.

Xiao Ye, being close to her, was the first to understand clearly—was it the music sheet Shen Xuan boasted about, the one for the Piano Association’s examination?

Shen Xuan’s expression was icy, "After practicing piano today at noon, I put it back into my backpack. Zhao Min and Liang Qian can vouch for me, I just searched everywhere and couldn’t find it."

"Yes, we saw,"

Both nodded at once.

"Okay then, I will go and ask the principal to check the surveillance footage to see if any suspicious person is recorded." Having said that, she left the office, donning her five-centimeter heels, leaving several people anxiously waiting.

Xiao Ye glared at these few students from class seven. With Shen Xuan’s music sheet missing, what spectacle were they here to see? They better not cause any trouble!

Soon, Li Hongsheng and Mrs. Liu Xiaoyan entered the office, carrying a laptop.

Li Hongsheng was also very upset upon hearing about the incident, never expecting such a person in their school. Was Shen Xuan’s sheet music some kind of joke?

That’s someone’s future at stake. No one from First Middle School has ever made it into one of the Four Great Associations of Jing City. It wouldn’t be hard for Shen Xuan to get into the Piano Association, given her capabilities. Importantly, she was participating in Master Yao Nan’s disciple selection!

If she became the disciple of Master Yao Nan, their First Middle School’s status would skyrocket, so he definitely intended to thoroughly investigate this matter! There would be no clemency!

"Director, what’s the progress?" Shen Xuan asked him.

Li Hongsheng was very cautious in front of Shen Xuan, who had good academic performance, a notable family background, and a promising future. He reassured her with a confident look, "Don’t worry, I’ve already retrieved all the footage from noon till now. Let’s watch it together."

He set up the computer on the table, and the other teachers gathered around as well.

Li Hongsheng sped up the video to double speed since the seniors were busy with their studies and scarcely anyone lingered in the halls except those going to the restroom.

"Stop!"

Liu Xiaoyan called out and immediately paused the video.

Everyone stared at the figure entering Class 1 in the video.

"That’s Yun Yue!"

The people from Class 7 and Xiao Ye widened their eyes, couldn’t it be, encountering drama involving one of their own?!

Liang Qian’s sinister smile under her mask grew bigger.

Coincidentally, today Yun Yue had visited their class to find Lin Xuanze, which had unintentionally provided her an opportunity.

Shen Xuan’s eyes flashed strangely. Could it really be her?

"Let’s finish watching the video," Li Hongsheng took a deep breath, sensing the issue was becoming complicated.

Thinking of Yun Yue’s defiant and arrogant demeanor, she didn’t seem the type to do such a thing.

After watching, the mood in the office was tense because, from start to finish, only Yun Yue had entered and exited Class 1.

This excluded everyone else, making her the prime suspect.

"What else is there to think about? It must be Yun Yue. From beginning to end, she was the only one entering and exiting Class 1!" Zhao Min pointed at the figure in the video.

Yang Xing looked at her, "Don’t falsely accuse people; Boss isn’t that kind of person. She doesn’t even play the piano; why would she steal Shen Xuan’s music sheets?!"

Boss just isn’t that kind of person!

Zhao Min sneered, "Appearances can be deceiving. Do you really know her that well?"

"At least better than you do. She wouldn’t care about a billion yuan, let alone steal a music sheet!" Yang Xing frowned.

"That’s hilarious. She probably hasn’t even seen a hundred thousand, to say she wouldn’t be tempted by ten million is absurd—as if monks are less ascetic than her!" Zhao Min scoffed.

Ten million and she wouldn’t be tempted; that’s laughable.

Yang Xing frowned; it was true.

Online, someone had offered ten million to uncover Boss Y’s identity, and even higher bids to coax her into playing professionally, yet she remained unmoved.

Shen Xuan pursed her lips. Could it really have been Yun Yue who stole it?

In her mind, she envisioned the young girl’s defiant, disdainful, and arrogant air. Could it all have been an act?

"Director, I request that Yun Yue come here for a confrontation! Let’s see what she has to say first." Liu Xiaoyan felt a slight thrill inside when she saw the video.

If it turned out that Yun Yue had stolen the music sheets, she would have a solid reason to demand the school expel her. She wouldn’t have to see that infuriating face in her dreams anymore!

"Xiao Ye, go and call her, but don’t alarm the other students," Li Hongsheng spoke.

It was tough dealing with Shen Xuan and Yun Yue; both had powerful backgrounds. This situation was really giving him a headache.
