“The surveillance video is in my hands. Are you trying to play dumb or should 1 report it first?” Lin Gantang asked coldly. “Zhang Rongqing, I’ve given you many things so you’ve started to think that all my things should be yours, right?”

“Don’t! Please! Where are you?” Zhang Rongqing panicked. “I’ll come and look for you immediately.”

Zhang Rongqing returned to the bookstore in a sorry state. Under Lin Gantang’s icy gaze, she took out the watch and placed it on the table.

Lin Gantang picked it up and looked at it. Her face turned frigid and she threw it at her. “Do you think I’m as stupid as you? Take it out!”

Zhang Rongqing shamefacedly didn’t say anything.

“Zhang Rongqing, I’ve given you a chance.” Lin Gantang’s expression turned cold as she took out her phone and dialed no.

When Zhang Rongqing saw it, her expression changed drastically and she rushed forward to snatch her phone. Lin Gantang did not let go. As the two of them fought, the phone slipped out and fell to the ground, causing the screen to black out.

“Don’t! Don’t call the police. 1’11 give it to you. I’ll return the watch to you.” Zhang Rongqing took out the real watch in fear and handed it to Lin Gantang with a trembling hand. “I’ve returned it to you, I’ve returned it to you. Don’t call the police.”

“You’re afraid that I’ll call the police? Aren’t you very capable?” Lin Gantang’s eyes were frosty. “You still took action with all the surveillance. Do you think I won’t hold you responsible for this?”

Zhang Rongqing hadn’t expected her to call the police as soon as she came. In her mind, Lin Gantang was just an idiot who was easily persuaded and coaxed. How could she not know that there were surveillance cameras? She thought that, if she was discovered, Lin Gantang would at most beat her up and scold her.

“I’ve already taken the initiative to return the item. Don’t…” Zhang Rongqing bit her lip.

“Why did you steal my things?”

“I… I’m short of money, I’m really short of money. I just want to sell your watch for some money to spend. Gantang, I don’t have any other intentions. Gantang, forgive me this once!”

“Your Zhang family isn’t so poor that they can’t even afford your pocket money, right? Lacking money and you steal. Why don’t you rob a bank?”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” Zhang Rongqing cried. “It was me who was confused. Please forgive me this once. 1 will never touch your things again! I’m sorry, Gantang.”

Lin Gantang didn’t know why Zhang Rongqing was so ridiculous. In the past, she would at most fan the flames and persuade others. Now, she was breaking the law.

Zhang Rongqing returned the watch. Seeing that Lin Gantang did not say anything, she thought that the matter was over.

Mr. Lin saw that Lin Gantang was in a bad mood and asked after her. Lin Gantang told Mr. Lin about the matter.

Mr. Lin was very surprised when he heard about it. After pondering for a while, he asked, “Do you really want to call the police? What if she was really confused and willing to turn over a new leaf? Moreover, the watch has already been returned. We don’t know how the police will deal with it. I’m friends with Mr. Zhang. Why don’t I inform him first?”

Mr. Zhang came over immediately after receiving the call.

The person involved was so angry that she wanted to call the police. After a long while, Mr. Zhang said, “Gantang, Rongqing is in the wrong, but can you give her one last chance on account of her saving you once?”

Zhang Rongqing had indeed saved Lin Gantang.

In junior high school, Lin Gantang was beaten up by a gang of delinquents and almost received a blow to the head. It was Zhang Rongqing who passed by and blocked the blow. At that time, Zhang Rongqing’s shoulder bone was shattered and she was hospitalized for a long time.

All these years, Lin Gantang had been giving her things and having fun with her. On one hand, it was due to Zhang Rongqing’s deliberate management. On the other hand, it was also because of what had been mentioned earlier.

“Rongqing saved you, but you plan to sue her and ruin the rest of her life?” Mr. Zhang said.

Mr. Zhang brought up the past and wanted Lin Gantang to return the favor to the Zhang family.

“You two are so alike.” Lin Gantang laughed in anger.

Before she left, her expression became even colder. She mocked Zhang Rongqing, “Zhang Rongqing, you’d better not fall into my hands again. You haven’t saved my life twice!”

After the Zhang family’s father-daughter pair left, they made compensation.

Mr. Lin sighed and said to Lin Gantang, “I know what you’re thinking. But, Gantang, I’ve never talked about fairness with you when it comes to favors..”
