You are all bad women! Don't come over!

"Alright, everyone, calm down," Liu Chaoyan's gaze gently swept over the other four, "Personally, I am willing to believe that no one took Xingshuang's clothes, but if we don't clear this up, suspicion among us isn't good. Team unity is very important."

Han Muxue snorted and glared coldly at Shen Mochen, while Xia Qingrou still held him protectively in her arms.

Liu Chaoyan continued, "How about this, I suggest that Xingshuang, accompanied by everyone, goes and searches in everyone's bedrooms. If it's not in anyone's room, it's likely to have been misplaced or blown away while being aired. Let's start with my room."

Xiao Xingshuang said coldly, "That underwear was always in my cabinet, and indeed, someone had rummaged through my wardrobe. However, I agree with the captain's suggestion."

What else is there to search for? I'm the only guy in the team, surely there aren't any perverted women, right? Even if there were, why did they not act until I arrived, after having been around for so long?

At the end of the day, the only suspect is really just oneself. Shen Mochen was very clear about this.

He knew everyone was most interested in searching his room, but Liu Chaoyan had suggested starting with her own to spare his feelings.

This trust crisis was an undeserved disaster. But he hadn't done it, he wasn't perverted enough to steal a girl's underwear. For someone with a foot fetish, saying he stole tights would make more sense than underwear… Of course, he would also never steal tights.

Given his current relationship with Xia Qingrou, there was absolutely no need to steal anyone's tights. If he could just swallow his pride and ask, he could go as far as having both Xia Qingrou and her tights in his mouth.

Today silk stockings, tomorrow black, the day after fishnets, and then shimmering, changing colors… 5D10D20D30D… thigh-highs, garter belts, all in one… whatever he wanted to flaunt, he could.

However, facing this trust issue was only a matter of time as the only guy in the team. It was inevitable that he would encounter such situations. What he needed to do now was stay as rational as possible and minimize the suspicions about him.

Shen Mochen sat on the couch, smiling gently, "It's not appropriate for me to enter a girl's room. You guys go ahead and search; I'll wait for you in the living room. My room is unlocked; you can go in anytime."

Honestly, he didn't feel like smiling at the moment; being suspected was quite annoying, but there was nothing he could do about it; being misunderstood was quite common.

But Liu Chaoyan was right; the team's unity and stability were paramount. Everyone was a comrade in arms on the battlefield, and frictions couldn't be allowed, so he had to act as if nothing was bothering him, showing that he didn't mind and nobody should take it to heart.

Han Muxue glanced at Shen Mochen, pursed her lips, then turned to Xiao Xingshuang and said, "Which pair of underwear did you lose? Describe it, and we'll start by searching your room."

"...Alright," Xiao Xingshuang hesitated for a moment, "The pair I lost was purple."

Liu Chaoyan chuckled softly, "Then let's start. Mr. Shen, please wait here for a while."

Xia Qingrou had full confidence in Shen Mochen, encouraging him, "Honey, don't be afraid. We're in the right and have nothing to fear. I will definitely clear your name!"

"Nobody said I was guilty, though," Shen Mochen smiled and stood up, kissing Xia Qingrou on the face for the first time.

Shen Mochen watched calmly as the four went off to search, lying on the couch and watching TV serenely.

The night outside deepened, as did the gloom on his face. He was confident in his innocence, but for some reason, felt slightly uneasy. He had a feeling that this incident wasn't as simple as it seemed.

The group quickly came out of Liu Chaoyan's room, and Xia Qingrou's giggly voice could be heard: "Why is there a pair of handcuffs in the captain's room? Are they real?"

Liu Chaoyan also smiled slightly, "Those were some toys Sister Qin bought when she was bored. I thought they were fun, so I kept them when she left."

The voices of the crowd gradually lowered, clearly moving into the next room. Not long after, they came out of Xiao Xingshuang's room, still looking relaxed.

The dormitory bedrooms were divided between the east and west sides, with three rooms on one side and two on the other.

On the side with three rooms were Shen Mochen, Liu Chaoyan, and Xiao Xingshuang. Now that two rooms had been checked, it was Shen Mochen's turn.

Liu Chaoyan expressed respect for the homeowner and approached, saying, "Classmate Shen, would you like to join us?"

"It's okay, you guys go ahead," Shen Mochen said with a smile, waving his hand.

So Liu Chaoyan didn't insist further and entered Shen Mochen's room with the other three women. Due to Shen Mochen's composure and calm, they also began to feel that Shen Mochen must be innocent, perhaps it was just Xiao Xingshuang who had lost something carelessly.

Ten minutes later, the four of them returned to the living room with unpleasant expressions.

Liu Chaoyan frowned slightly without speaking, Xia Qingrou stared intently at Shen Mochen, her eyes shimmering with tears, Xiao Xingshuang held a pair of underwear in her hand, her gaze cold, while Han Muxue sat in her wheelchair, her face full of anger.

"What is this?" Han Muxue pointed to the underwear in Xiao Xingshuang's hand, her eyes bloodshot as she shouted fiercely, her voice trembling, "Why was this in your room!"

"Did you really take this?" Tears streamed down Xia Qingrou's face like a dam bursting.

"…"

Shen Mochen stood up calmly; this unexpected incident was truly unforeseen, but it was even more important to remain calm at such times.

"I am seeing this for the first time myself. I didn't take it, and I don't know why it was in my room," Shen Mochen stated his position word by word.

"But this was found inside your pillowcase!" Han Muxue clenched her teeth tightly: "How do you explain that!"

"I don't know, even if you ask me like this, I still don't know…"

Han Muxue angrily cursed, "Enough, stop lying! Could it be that we went to your room to frame you? I didn't think you could really be so shameless, garbage, bottomless! I often thought everyone had a minimal sense of decency, but I never imagined, some people just aren't human! Heartless as a wolf, a beast in human skin, and to think I trusted you this much!"

As Han Muxue spoke, her expression became more agitated, and tears unconsciously fell. Her look of despair made Shen Mochen somewhat perplexed.

"I've said, I didn't take it…"

Shen Mochen hadn't finished speaking when an invisible pressure surged, the immense gravity forcing him to kneel on the ground.

"I don't want to hear any more of your excuses, just looking at you makes me sick!" Han Muxue trembled with rage, "Liu Chaoyan, report to the Constitutional Soldier Office, have them send someone tonight!"

"Muxue, withdraw your superpower first."

Liu Chaoyan sighed, then walked up to Shen Mochen, helped him up, and stared into his eyes: "Classmate Shen, did you really do this?"
