After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Lu Dayong forced an ugly smile, "Misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding..."
"Is it another misunderstanding now?"
Ye Chen sneered and said: "When you just insisted that I stole the spiritual elixir, you said it categorically!"
"me……"
Lu Dayong was so anxious that he was at a loss.
But his reaction time was quite fast. He rolled his eyes a few times and then said sarcastically: "I must have been dazzled just now. The missing Spirit Peeping Pill either fell into a corner or was stolen away by other thieves.
It has absolutely nothing to do with you, Master Ye!"
At this point, he has no better choice but to make big things small and trivial things nothing.
But he wanted the matter to be settled, but Ye Chen persisted, "Things have to be brought to light, not to mention..."
Ye Chen smiled slyly and continued: "I just said that when it comes to evidence, the fact that you robbed yourself and framed the blame on me is just one-sided words from you after all..."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Before Ye Chen finished speaking, Lu Dayong couldn't stand listening any more, and he retorted with a fierce expression: "I am a dignified alchemist with high moral character and high respect, so how could I do such a disgraceful thing as stealing from others? Don't be so slanderous!
"
"Haha, you alone are worthy of the words 'high moral character and respectable'?"
Ye Chen snorted coldly: "You couldn't provide any evidence when you blamed me, but I have a way to prove that you were the one who committed the crime!"
"You, you are talking nonsense!"
Lu Dayong was anxious and angry, but he was afraid of being seen as guilty of being a thief, so he forced himself to calm down and said: "Well, since you said that I was the one who robbed myself and put the blame on you, then you should provide evidence!"
"Isn't it easy to get evidence?"
Ye Chen smiled mysteriously, pointed at the space bracelet Lu Dayong wore on his wrist and said: "As long as you erase the soul mark in the space bracelet, and then let others shed blood to identify the owner, take a look at what items are inside, and you will know
Have you committed theft by guarding yourself?"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Dayong felt bad.
If he really does this, he will definitely be exposed as a thief.
Because the stolen Spirit Peeping Pill is currently in his space bracelet.
The reason why he was not afraid of being checked just now was because he felt that no one would suspect him. Even if he wanted to check the space bracelet, he would only check Ye Chen's.
Unexpectedly, Ye Chen turned his back on guests and actually checked his own.
"impossible!"
No longer caring about what other people think, he sternly refused: "There are many personal belongings of mine in the space bracelet. How can I let others check it casually?"
"You don't dare?"
Ye Chen smiled half-heartedly and said, "I'm just checking the space bracelet, and it won't cost you anything. If you don't have a guilty conscience, why are you so resistant?"
"I……"
Lu Dayong was about to continue his quibbles when Su Jianning, the president not far away, suddenly shouted, "That's enough!"
"President?" Lu Dayong looked over subconsciously.
Ye Chen also frowned, "President Su, are you trying to protect him?"
"Master Ye, don't get me wrong. I am not standing up to protect him!" Su Jianning waved his hand hastily.
"Then what does President Su want?" Ye Chen asked.
Su Jianning did not answer immediately. Instead, he pointed at Lu Dayong and yelled: "You are a scum in the world of medicine refining, why don't you kneel down?"
"President, you..."
Lu Dayong was frightened.
However, under Su Jianning's piercing eyes, his knees still weakened and he knelt down with a "plop".
"Lu Dayong, as an alchemist, you don't base yourself on integrity. Instead, you steal from others and take the opportunity to blame your customers. You are simply a shame and a scum in the alchemy industry!"
"President, you are wronged!"
Ye Chen continued to argue, but his tone seemed a little weak and pale.
"Do you think you can really hide those little tricks of yours from everyone?"
Su Jianning said in a stern voice: "I, the president, just played chess with Master Zhou deep in the inner hall, and we have seen the whole thing about you guarding and stealing!"
"this……"
Lu Dayong was so frightened that his face turned pale for an instant.
If Su Jianning and Zhou Xueyuan really saw his self-stealing incident, he would really be unable to defend himself.
"Since President Su saw that he was committing suicide, why didn't he accuse him immediately, but instead allowed him to slander me again and again?" Ye Chen said solemnly.
"Master Ye, it's not that this president doesn't want to, it's really something unspeakable!" Su Jianning looked bitter.
"What's the unspeakable secret?" Ye Chen asked subconsciously.
"this……"
Su Jianning seemed to be worried about something, and glanced at everyone around him, his face full of embarrassment.
But in the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Well, since the matter has reached this level, it doesn't matter if we say it in public!"
Taking a deep breath, he said bitterly: "We didn't expose Lu Dayong in public just now, we just didn't want to affect the reputation of this branch because of this scum in the medicine refining world!"
"So you just pretended to be confused and just watched him put the blame on me?" Ye Chen asked.
"of course not!"
Su Jianning shook his head and explained: "This president originally wanted to wait until everyone left before severely punishing Lu Dayong, a scumbag, and solemnly apologize to Master Ye."
After a pause, he added: "After all, this is the only way to keep the reputation of this branch while clearing Master Ye's suspicion. Unexpectedly, things have reached this point!"
"I can guarantee this, President Su is indeed not the kind of person who can't tell the difference between right and wrong!" Zhou Xueyuan hurriedly agreed beside him.
"Now that the truth is out, how are you going to deal with it?"
Ye Chen didn't push himself too far, after all, he just wanted to clear his name.
Furthermore, he would like Su Jianning to do him a favor later.
"Lu Dayong!"
Su Jianning turned to look at Lu Dayong, who was kneeling on the ground, and said forcefully: "In view of your dirty behavior, our president announced that from now on, you will be deprived of your status as an alchemist, and the alchemist title that was previously awarded to you will be forcibly taken back.
badge!"
"In addition, all your property will be confiscated to compensate for the losses you have caused to this branch!"
"In addition, this president will also write your deeds into a teaching material and spread it to the alchemist branches in various cities in the empire, so that you will never have a foothold in the alchemy world in the future!"
A solemn verdict instantly plunged Lu Dayong into an abyss from which he would never be able to recover.
"Master Ye, are you satisfied with the handling of this matter by our president?"
Without looking at Lu Dayong's desperate expression, Su Jianning turned back to look at Ye Chen.
"I just proved my innocence. As for how to deal with him, it is your branch's business and has nothing to do with me!" Ye Chen shook his head.
Immediately, as if he remembered something, he walked up to Zhou Xueyuan step by step, looked him up and down, and then said something that was enough to shock everyone's jaws.
