"Mr. Xiao..." Gu Beilin stomped her foot in frustration.
"Let me make this clear: if you don't leave now and something goes missing from my house, I'll assume you stole it and call the police. You understand the consequences." Xiao Qi walked out the door without looking back.
"Wait for me, I'm leaving too." Gu Beilin had no choice but to leave. After such words, if she stayed and something was missing later, what would she do when they came to her? Especially since the possibility of her being framed was already laid out. She had to leave; she couldn't take that gamble.
Gu Beilin feared that if Xiao Qi accused her of theft and got her arrested, there would be no one to bail her out. In that case, she'd be stuck in prison, unable to escape. She couldn't stay, fearing she'd end up spending her life behind bars. Smart as she was, she knew better than to make such a bad deal, so after Xiao Qi left with his group, she followed suit.
