Stronger Every Time I Die

Chapter 356 Where's My Ring At?

"So, my bodyguard has already called the police. The police are professionals, and I trust they will help me find this ring as soon as possible. Please, everyone, just wait a little longer." Mateo frowned subconsciously when he heard that the police had been called directly! Finley had always been very courteous in the past, and he didn't even notify him before deciding to call the police. Mateo's school was legally established, and having the police show up out of the blue could undoubtedly impact its reputation negatively. But then he thought again. Such a precious ring had been lost, and he couldn't explain it away either. He pursed his lips, resigned to let it be. When the crowd heard that Finley had called the police, they instantly became displeased. After all, they hadn't taken the ring, so why should they be questioned by the police or even searched? Even though he was Finley, they had no obligation to cooperate with such demands! Just as they were about to start objecting, they heard Finley add, "Tomorrow, I will personally donate a sum of money to the school to improve everyone's living conditions. Consider it an apology from me." Finley's words were utterly sincere, and after speaking, he bowed deeply to everyone again. Hearing that Finley was going to donate money to improve their living conditions, the initially restless crowd instantly quieted down. Improving their living conditions was a tangible benefit they would receive! Just a simple cooperation could bring them such great benefits. Why not? The crowd quickly came around. Seeing everyone quiet down, a hint of triumph flickered in Finley's eyes. That triumph also contained a fleeting disdain. These poor fools were so easy to buy—just a little kindness, and they were all too eager to comply! Ha, money talks! To him, this money was nothing. As long as he could successfully become Hugo's student, this investment was hardly worth mentioning. Arthur's gaze flickered. He had to admit, Finley knew how to manipulate people! Is this how the scions raised in wealthy families acted? Compared to Zac, Finley truly knew how to wield power.Arthur, of course, understood that this amount of money was nothing to Finley. But to be able to make everyone obediently listen with just this little money, how cost-effective was that? Not only did the people present no longer resist the arrival of the police, but many also began praising Finley. "True to Finley's style, always so generous!" "There are many rich people, but someone like Finley, who is willing to do real things for us ordinary folks, there's probably only one Finley!" "Finley is truly a saintly figure! His kindness is evident to everyone." "Such an outstanding and kind scholar, I absolutely adore him! Truly deserving of being Governance University's recognized Prince Charming!" "No, he's not just Governance University's recognized Prince Charming, he should be Lioran's recognized Prince Charming!" People who love to flatter are never in short supply, and many of them were students who had been helped by Finley in the student council. With their lead, the rest couldn't help but agree. After all, everyone had a traditional concept in mind. If everyone says it's good, then it must be good. Soon, the police arrived. By the time they did, Arthur was beginning to wonder if they had been notified in advance. After the police arrived, Finley immediately went to greet them. The two of them whispered something, and a group of officers immediately headed towards Arthur and several others who had been in contact with Finley that evening. Seeing the police approach to take control of Arthur, Hugo and Mateo were both startled. They quickly stood in front of Arthur. Mateo angrily demanded, "What are you trying to do!" Everyone on the scene was stunned by this sudden turn of events. Why would the police start arresting people right away? Some who had tried to talk to Finley that evening were all taken into custody! The leading officer, seeing Hugo and Mateo come forward to block him, was surprised and his attitude became somewhat more respectful and polite. After all, it was Governance University's Hugo and Mateo, not just anyone they could afford to offend. Yet, his eyes were fixed firmly on Arthur. "Mr. Mateo, I'm very sorry, but we received a report that a valuable item belonging to student Finley was lost at Governance University. Given the high value of this ring, we now need to take those who have been in contact with Finley into temporary custody for individual investigation. Please, Mr. Mateo, allow us this convenience."
