Everyone listened to Xu Zheng's words, thought it over carefully, and felt that they had indeed been duped by Xu Meng before!

At that moment, they all desperately wanted to tear Xu Meng to shreds...

Especially the girls and their escorts!

Previously, these escorts had organized patrols to prevent the theft of undergarments!

But honestly, the effect of those patrols was really not very noticeable...

So these escorts had always been unable to hold their heads up high in front of the girls!

Now that they knew Xu Meng was the thief, they all wanted to quickly catch him in order to redeem themselves in the girls' eyes...

Seeing everyone eager to capture Xu Meng, the Xu Family elders frowned...

They quickly growled with expressionless faces, "Silence now, the matter hasn't been cleared up yet!"

Those elders knew not to take Xu Zheng's word for it, so they spoke quickly...

The next moment, they looked at Xu Zheng, and said solemnly, "Xu Zheng, you should be clear about our family rules! If you're falsely accusing someone, you're finished! So I want to ask, are you willing to be responsible for what you've said?"

With such a grave inquiry from the elder, everyone present stared solemnly at Xu Zheng!

Xu Zheng knew it was time for him to make a clear stance...

With that thought, Xu Zheng took a deep breath and yelled loudly, "I am willing! I swear to heaven, everything I've said before is true!"

Hearing such a solemn promise, the elders nodded expressionlessly...

They knew that since Xu Zheng dared to make such a solemn guarantee, he must be confident...

With that thought, they turned and said to one of the young men, "Go and get Xu Meng out now, we need to let him explain what's really going on!"

"Yes!"

The young man agreed, and ran off quickly.

Seeing the young man running towards Xu Meng's room, Xu Zheng's mouth twitched!

At that moment, he was slightly nervous.

He had previously guessed that the elders would let people rush in to capture Xu Meng...

Xu Zheng thought that if these young men rushed in quickly, they would soon catch the culprit red-handed...

By then, Xu Meng would have no chance to speak up...

But now, it seemed that the elders were not planning to immediately capture Xu Meng; instead, they were preparing to give him a chance to explain...

"Damn these elders! Why give him a chance!" he cursed bitterly, murmuring nervously to himself, "What if Xu Meng implicates me when he comes out? What should I do then!"

With these thoughts, he took a deep but hesitant breath...

Quickly, he clenched his teeth, "No halfway measures now, I have to see it through! Since I've already turned against that trash, I can just refuse to admit it later! He has no evidence anyway!"

Having cleared his thoughts, Xu Zheng felt much better...

At that time, he heard rapid knocks on the door...

"Xu Meng, are you in there? The elders and family are all outside, if you're in your room, come out now!"

With that said, the young man frowned!

Because he received no response...

"Is he pretending not to hear on purpose?"

Thinking this, he continued to shout loudly, "We're all waiting outside! Hurry up and open the door!"

In the room, Hu Xiaobei smiled...

Soon, Hu Xiaobei murmured to himself, "If he could open the door for you now, that would be really something!"

With that said, Hu Xiaobei looked up at the beam...

The next moment, Hu Xiaobei quietly jumped up, and quickly, Hu Xiaobei hid himself away...

As Hu Xiaobei completely concealed himself, the young man who had come to call felt rather embarrassed as he returned to the elders...

"Elder, Xu Meng didn't respond, what should we do now?"

Hearing this curious question, the elder's mouth twitched, and soon, he coldly said, "What to do? What else can we do? Are we supposed to invite him out politely? Of course, you smash the door open!"

"Yes! I understand!"

After awkwardly agreeing, he quickly went back!

This time, he stood firm and then pushed the door with all his might...

As a result, he was completely stunned!

Because he had effortlessly pushed the door open...

The sudden inertia made him unable to stop, so he face-planted into the ground in total disarray...

Quickly, he got a mouth full of dirt...

Earlier, he had assumed that the door was definitely locked, so he put a lot of force into it...

As it turned out, the door was just ajar, so he couldn't stop himself and naturally fell to the ground...

...

Something wasn't right!

All the elders, upon seeing his incredibly clumsy sprawl on the ground, felt that something was off.

According to what Xu Zheng had just said, Xu Meng was caught stealing underwear, so normally, he would have locked the door by now and be inside destroying the evidence...

But now the door wasn't even locked.

Could it be that Xu Zheng was lying just now?

After this thought arose, several people turned their heads to look at Xu Zheng...

However, they found Xu Zheng with an expression that was absolutely certain...

"It seems that he really wasn't lying before! Forget it, let's not overthink this, we should just go in and take a look!"

With this thought clarified, the elders quickly moved forward!

The young people and the girls also hurriedly followed suit.

Soon, everyone gathered at the door of the room.

In the next second, everyone saw a box full of various underwear, but they didn't see any trace of Xu Meng.

After a thorough search, they found there was nowhere to hide a person in the room.

In that instant, everyone frowned, and quickly turned their attention to Xu Zheng.

Just a moment ago, Xu Zheng had confidently claimed that Xu Meng was here...

But now, with Xu Meng nowhere in sight, everyone felt that Xu Zheng had obviously been lying.

...

"Xu Zheng, what is going on? Didn't you say Xu Meng was in the room just now? Why isn't he here now?"

"Yeah! You were so adamant a moment ago!"

"That's right!"

Upon hearing their cold questioning, Xu Zheng's mouth twitched...

He hadn't expected Xu Meng to disappear!

Because just a moment ago, he had definitely been here...

In fact, the reason Xu Meng had disappeared was that Hu Xiaobei had dismantled the previously set up Illusion Array...

Unknown to Xu Zheng, he answered directly, "I... I also don't know what happened, but just a moment ago, he was definitely here!"

After saying this, he was so frustrated he felt like spitting blood...

He knew there was no back door to this room...

So Xu Meng should have definitely stayed here...

"Could it be that there's some kind of hidden compartment in this room?"

Thinking this, he quickly crouched down and started searching very seriously...

"There's nothing!"

Moments later, having searched the entire room, he embarrassingly rubbed his nose...

After glancing at Xu Zheng, one individual pointed at the colorful underwear, "Xu Zheng, could it be that you brought these here and then deliberately framed Xu Meng?"

Upon hearing this speculation, everyone's expression toward Xu Zheng changed, as they believed this assumption was indeed possible.

Seeing everyone's changed expressions towards him, Xu Zheng's face turned.

Quickly, he shouted, "Don't... don't talk nonsense! This has nothing to do with me! I... I don't know anything!"

As he spoke, Xu Zheng subconsciously took a step back, and suddenly something dropped from him!

Looking down, Xu Zheng's expression turned extremely sour...

Because what had fallen out was none other than the two pieces of underwear he had just stolen...

"Damn it!"

With a twitch of his eyelid, he tried to quickly pick them up, but he was too slow, and just as he was bending over, a long-haired girl picked them up...
