System: My worldview has collapsed, please let me be quiet
Chapter 90 What's in the Bag
Her words were like cold arrows, shooting deep into Jiang Meiling's heart.
Jiang Meiling's face turned pale in an instant, and she tried to refute, but Elizabeth Jane didn't give her any chance.
"Don't pretend, I already know what you're thinking."
Elizabeth Jane smiled coldly and continued, "Do you think you can fool everyone? I tell you, as long as I am here, your conspiracy will never succeed."
Her words were full of confidence and determination, as if she had already secured victory.
Jiang Meiling was left speechless and could only silently endure this sudden accusation and attack.
Jiang Beichen's figure was as strong as a pine tree. He stood up resolutely. His tall body was like a solid mountain, blocking Jiang Meiling firmly in front of him.
His eyes were firm and deep, like the stars in the night sky, shining with unquestionable light.
He turned his head slightly and gave Jiang Meiling a comforting look, which was full of trust and support.
Then, he turned around, faced everyone, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice, "I, Jiang Beichen, guarantee with my character that Jiang Meiling will never do anything to rob property."
His tone was firm and resolute, and every word he said hit people's hearts like a hammer.
His words were full of unquestionable power, allowing everyone present to feel his firm determination.
He glanced around, his eyes revealing a hint of inviolable majesty.
He continued, "I know Jiang Meiling. She is a kind and upright person. Her heart is full of gratitude and respect for Taoism. I believe that she would never do anything that goes against morality and conscience."
The atmosphere of the party was originally lively and noisy, but after hearing Jiang Beichen firmly vouch for Jiang Meiling, the voices in the crowd gradually subsided, leaving only the sound of breathing and occasional whispers.
Everyone looked at each other, their eyes moving between Jiang Beichen, Jiang Meiling and Elizabeth Jane, as if trying to find more clues from their faces.
Suddenly, a burly middle-aged man walked out of the crowd.
With a hint of dissatisfaction on his face, he said in a loud voice, "Mr. Jiang Beichen, although I respect you very much, Miss Jian's accusation cannot be ignored so easily. For the reputation and fairness of the Taoist family, I think we should check Miss Jiang Meiling's bag."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of agreement from the crowd.
Some people nodded in agreement, while others whispered to each other.
Jiang Meiling's face turned pale, she clutched her bag tightly, and there was a look of anxiety in her eyes.
Jiang Beichen turned around and faced the middle-aged man, his eyes full of determination and confidence.
He nodded slightly, then faced Jiang Meiling, “Meiling, show them. I believe in you, you don’t need to be afraid.”
Jiang Meiling took a deep breath and then slowly opened her bag.
Her hands were shaking a little, but her eyes were extremely firm.
She took out the items from her bag one by one and showed them to everyone.
Although her movements were slow, each one was full of power, as if telling everyone that she had a clear conscience.
As the items were taken out one by one, low murmurs began to be heard among the crowd.
Some people began to believe in Jiang Meiling's innocence, while others still remained skeptical.
But when the last item in the bag was taken out, the bag, which was supposed to be empty, suddenly had a small glass bottle that did not belong to her!
Jiang Meiling's hand stopped abruptly.
This thing is not hers.
Why is it in the bag?
System 002: Host, this was secretly put into your bag by Elizabeth Jane when you were not paying attention.
Jiang Meiling's hand trembled and stopped in mid-air, her eyes fixed on the small glass bottle that suddenly appeared in her bag. Her face turned pale in an instant, her eyes filled with confusion and astonishment.
"This...how is this possible?" Jiang Meiling's voice trembled. She looked up at Elizabeth Jane, her eyes full of questioning.
Elizabeth Jane smiled coldly, as if she had expected this scene.
She pointed at the small glass bottle without hesitation and shouted, "Jiang Meiling, do you still dare to quibble? The poison in this bottle was clearly put there by you!"
Jiang Meiling took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
She knew that she couldn't panic at this time, and she couldn't be affected by Elizabeth Jane's words.
"Auntie, this bottle is definitely not mine." Jiang Meiling's voice was still trembling, but it was much more stable than before. "I know every item in my bag very well. I have never seen this bottle before, and it is even more impossible that I put it in there."
She paused and continued, "Besides, if I really wanted to poison someone, how could I put the poison in such an obvious place? Isn't this just asking for trouble?"
Elizabeth Jane's expression changed slightly when she heard this.
She obviously didn't expect Jiang Meiling to refute her so calmly.
But she quickly regained her composure and sneered, "Humph, that sounds nice. But the facts are in front of us. The bottle was found in your bag. What else do you have to say?"
System 005: Host, you have a new task, please remember to check it! Please clear your own black pot within 10 minutes, and you can get 10 points after completing the task.
Jiang Meiling rolled her eyes at 005, thinking that it would be better if she didn't have these points.
I saved up so many points with great difficulty, but they were either deducted for this or used for that. It's really too wasteful.
Jiang Meiling took a deep breath. She knew that now she had to produce evidence to prove her innocence.
She looked around and her eyes finally fell on Jiang Beichen.
It seems that at this critical juncture, we can only rely on Jiang Beichen. As for that idiot Daomingsi, just let him cry aside!
Useless man, destroy him.
"Beichen, you can definitely help me." Jiang Meiling looked at Jiang Beichen and said firmly, "I hope you can help me prove that this bottle is really not mine."
Jiang Beichen nodded slightly, he walked to Jiang Meiling, picked up the small glass bottle and looked at it carefully.
Then he raised his head and looked at Elizabeth Jane with sharp eyes.
"Aunt Jane, can I ask someone to check the fingerprints on this bottle first?" Jiang Beichen's voice was calm and powerful. "If Jiang Meiling really put this bottle in, then there must be her fingerprints on it. But if not..."
"Of course!" Elizabeth Jane agreed confidently.
In fact, she had already kept a trick up her sleeve, otherwise she would not have worn a pair of white gloves to attend the party today.
