A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 363

Lily Jiang was worried about it, her eyes welling up with tears. Linda immediately comforted her in a soft voice, "Don't worry. Think about it again, and tell me what happened."

"I had my information class at 10 AM this morning, and I brought the laptop with me. I don't have any other classes before 3 PM this afternoon, so I went to the library after lunch."

"Someone stole it from you in the library?"

"I'm not sure. I went to the library alone. I placed the laptop on the table. After I finished reading one book, I went to the bookshelves to find another one, and when I came back, the laptop was gone."

Linda cup her cheeks and said, "Someone must have stolen it. Don't worry. We can ask for the CCTV footage to find out who took your laptop."

Linda found that there was something strange. Why would someone steal a laptop in the library? There were cameras all over the place. It was easy to look for the person who took it. So... why bother? Didn't the thieves know that they would get caught?

Linda was available that afternoon, so she decided to go to the university with Lily Jiang.

"Bun, get a car from the underground garage, and drive us to the university. Let's help Lily find out who took her laptop."

"Thank you very much, Linda. I was so worried, so I asked the people around the table if they had seen my laptop. But nobody said they did, so I came to ask for your help. I bought it three years ago. There are many documents and materials inside. I haven't made any back-up copies. It's very inconvenient for me if I lose it."

"Don't worry. There must be security cameras inside the library. I will help you find out who took your laptop. Stealing is a daring thing to do in the library."

"Okay, My Lady. Lily, stay calm. Let's go to the university together, "

Bun said after a smile. Then, she went to get a car and parked it at the gate. Bun got off the car to help Linda and Lily Jiang get into the car, and then they headed for the university together.

Linda had been to Lily Jiang's university once. Back then, the scars on her cheeks hadn't been fully healed. She had to put on a mask and a hat. She hadn't expected that she would meet Jessie Luo there.

Going to the university reminded Linda of Jessie. She hadn't seen nor heard of Jessie for a while. She was like a contemptible scoundrel who always made trouble. Linda was puzzled by how quiet she was these days.

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the university.

After Bun parked the car, she went to help Linda get off the car. Linda's belly grew bigger and bigger each day. Bun was becoming even more cautious, too. She wouldn't allow anything to happen to Linda.

They went into the library to find someone in charge of the place there. They explained the whole story to the librarian and asked for the surveillance footage.

Knowing that Lily Jiang had lost her laptop, the librarian agreed to help them pull up the surveillance footage around the table she sat.

They had watched it for a while. Linda noticed that someone had took Lily Jiang's laptop. It was a man in sportswear. He had long hair and a cap on his head.

He looked around first and then swiftly took the laptop, putting it in a laptop bag. Then, he left the library with it.

"Lily, the guy in the sportswear had taken your laptop. Is he a student here? Do you know him?

"Okay. Let's go to the dorm to talk to him directly, " Linda said after a smile.

"Go to the boy's dorm? We can't set foot in the boy's dorm without our counselor's consent."

"So let's find your counselor first, " said Linda. She took a look at her watch and continued, "It's just after 4 PM, so your counselor should still be at work."

"Umm, okay, " said Lily Jiang.

Then, they went to see the counselor together. Lily Jiang knocked at the door and then she went inside. Her counselor was surprised to see her.

"What's the matter? Is there anything wrong, Lily?" asked the counselor.

Lily Jiang always got high grades in her courses, so her counselor remembered her well.

"Good afternoon. The thing is, I have lost my laptop in the library when I went to get a book on the bookshelf. I have left it on the table. We have seen the surveillance footage and found out that Wyon Zhu took it. We wanted to go to his dorm to get my laptop back. Can you give us a written permission to get in the boy's dorm?"

"Oh, I see. Wyon Zhu came to see me earlier this afternoon. He said that he found a laptop in the library today, but he didn't know whom it belonged to. It was yours, after all."

Lily Jiang smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't forget to bring my laptop with me. I just got up to go to the bookshelves."
