Chapter 1637: Resignation
“No!” Steward Mu stared at Feng Wu. “Since when did I borrow your needle? When? Where? I need an explanation!”
Steward Mu was waiting for the rascal to be exposed when “he” couldn’t produce the needle, so of course he wouldn’t admit it.
But he was no match for Feng Wu’s calm.
Feng Wu kept smiling at Steward Mu, making him cringe. For a moment, he almost thought that he really was the one to be blamed.
“Steward Mu, you’re so forgetful.” Crossing her arms, Feng Wu shook her head with a wry smile. “It happened here only just then. You borrowed the needle, saying that you wanted to study it carefully.”
“No! I didn’t do that!” Steward Mu insisted.
Because it never happened!
He wouldn’t believe that this rascal could turn white into black!
However, Feng Wu smiled at him and sighed. “Steward Mu, there’s no point lying over something so obvious.”
Steward Mu said, “Heh, I’ll never admit to something I didn’t do!” He would like to see how long this fake Catnine could keep doing this.
Feng Wu said, “Well, Steward Mu, if you didn’t do it, I’m sure you don’t mind getting frisked.”
Immediately, Steward Mu’s face turned livid.
Sefiro looked from one to the other, because she didn’t know who to trust. But there had been a clear change in Steward Mu’s expression, and she stared at him.
Steward Mu was exasperated. “Catnine! How dare you offend your seniors and slander my name?!”
Feng Wu smiled wryly. “Steward Mu, you’re completely unreasonable. You took my needle first.”
Completely unreasonable? Heh! Steward Mu was furious.
However, Feng Wu sounded so righteous and she was so glib that he didn’t know what to do.
Moreover, Feng Wu was going to push further.
Naturally, she sounded mild.
“Your Highness, if Steward Mu won’t admit it, let’s frisk him.” She smiled wryly. “He only took the needle just then. Since he hasn’t left this place, he can’t have hidden it.”
“You — you — you —” Steward Mu flushed with rage and trembled from head to toe. He couldn’t say a word!
Feng Wu smiled wryly. “Therefore, we’ll definitely find it if we frisk him. If Steward Mu finds it unfair, Your Highness, you can have me frisked as well.”
She said righteously, “I won’t accept it! One cannot simply turn wrong into right! Evil can never prevail over good!”
Steward Mu thought he was going to lose his mind.
This rascal… this rascal…
Feng Wu smiled at him.
She had been so sure because she knew better than anyone else that Steward Mu was the real Catnine. Since the Yin-Yang needle hadn’t been in that secret storage room, the only explanation was —
Steward Mu had it on him.
Therefore, with an order from Sefiro, she would be able to find the needle.
Steward Mu knew that as well, which was why he was so angry.
But could he explain it? How? He had only just affirmed this rascal’s identity! He had admitted that “he” was Catnine…
Steward Mu wanted to cry.
Sefiro stared at Steward Mu, and when she saw the changes in his expression, she already began to believe Feng Wu.
