Jia Hao quickly ordered a peach tinted gin as he looked at the drama slowly starting before him. Not long after, Mr. Dong arrived and inquired about the matter.
" What happened? An item got stolen?"
" Sir, Miss Wu already got her item after she paid the bill. However, Now, she couldn't find her necklace."
" Damn it! How is this possible? How there could be a theft here?"
Mr. Dong was stunned when she heard that. Wu ngji cried as she rubbed her eyes.
" That necklace…It looked so good. Not to ntion, it was a limited edition pink diamond necklace."
" I thought….I thought it would be a good gift for my daughter. But…So bastard stole it from ."
" BOOHOOO! My precious necklace. My husband…he won't let it go…Boohooo!~*
Su Yunqi was also stunned when she saw the situation. " I never thought soone could do that here. Aren't they afraid if getting caught and beaten to death?"
" Oh, It's just starting, Aunt Su." Jia Hao chuckled as he took a chicken skewer and ate it with relish, with his drink.
" And, It looks like soone is enjoying the situation." Su Yunqi rolled her eyes.
" Why should I not, Aunt Su?" Jia Hao shrugged. " Not to ntion, the chicken is so tender and juicy. The chef did the right job."
" Call the security and check around!" Mr. Dong shouted at his secretary.
" Yes, Mr. Dong." His secretary nodded as he hurriedly left.
But not after long, a waitress ca with the secretary. The secretary's expression was odd as he ca back with her.
" What is it? Got any news?"
" Mr. Dong, This waitress…She is saying that she has seen the culprit."
" What? Are you telling the truth?"
Mr. Dong looked at the waitress with shock. " Tell , Who it was?!"
" Mr…Mr. Dong, I…I only suspect that person was the culprit. I don't have any solid proof." The waitress muttered as she looked at the ground.
" That's better than nothing. Just tell what you saw." Wu ngji stepped in as she asked desperately.
" I… I saw a woman, who looked like another waitress. But I have never seen her. As she was walking in the corridor, I saw sothing sparkling inside her pocket."
" At first, I thought that might be so stuff. But after this incident, I feel…That was the necklace. It looks so sa…"
" Can you tell who is that bitch?" Wu ngji snapped out. " You should have rembered her face, right?"
" I only saw her from behind…" The waitress spoke in a stamring voice. " But I know what she did!"
" She entered the washroom and ca out. But when she ca out…I didn't see that necklace in her pocket."
" What? Really?" The secretary was stunned. " Does that an the woman hid the necklace in the bathroom."
" I… I don't know. After her, the only person who ca out of the bathroom was…Miss Su."
Everyone's eyes fell on Su Yunqi when they heard the waitress. Su Yunqi was also surprised when she heard that. " I beg your pardon?"
" My clothes got stained and I was wiping it off in the bathroom. There was a lady in the bathroom…But I didn't notice her face."
Mr. Dong looked at the secretary and nodded. " Go and check the entirety of the washroom."
" Yes, Mr. Dong."
But they returned empty handed, making the situation even heavier.
" What? You couldn't find it?"
" No, Mr. Dong. We checked every possible place. But we couldn't find it at all."
" Damn it! Check all the CCTV caras and find that thief!" Mr. Dong shouted.
" Wait a second."
Wu ngji stepped ion as she raised her voice. Jia Hao chuckled as he finished his drink.
" Rather than checking for the thief, can't we check another person?"
" What do you an by that, Miss Wu?" Mr. Dong asked curiously.
" Since that waitress said the thief entered the washroom and ca out empty handed…And now there is no necklace there…Doesn't that an soone else might have taken it?"
Everyone murmured among themselves as they heard Wu ngji's reasoning. Mr. Dong's expression changed when he understood Wu ngji's implication.
" Miss Wu, What do you an by that?"
" I an…Su Yunqi was there at that ti, yes? Didn't she saw anyone else?" Wu ngji spoke in a light voice.
" I didn't see anyone else." Su Yunqi spoke in a slightly annoyed voice. " And, Wu ngji, Why do I feel you are suspecting ?"
" Well, You were the only person in the washroom at that ti. So, If we follow the natural flow of logic…"
" You want to say Big Sister Su stole the necklace?" Jia Hao stepped forward as he looked at Wu ngji.
" Aunty, Why don't you just say that you think Sister Yunqi is the thief? Or she deliberately stole your necklace?"
" I… I didn't an that."
Wu ngji took a step back as she looked away. " However, Everyone saw how fiercely Su Yunqi competed with for that necklace."
" What if…I an, I am not saying…But…"
" Mr. Dong, What do you think?" Jia Hao didn't bother with Wu ngji and looked at Mr. Dong.
" I… I believe the thief is still within us. So, We can't let anyone go out of this party." Mr. Dong replied.
" Why don't we simply check everyone's belongings?" Wu ngji jumped in.
" In that way, No one would be able to say anything at all."
" Aunty, I believe you don't have any dignity. " Jia Hao smiled. " But that doesn't an everyone is like you."
" Checking soone's belonging is sa as taking them as suspect. So, You think you want to do that?"
" In this place? Which person isn't a dignitary?"
Jia Hao's voice raised murmurs among the crowd as they nodded to hid words.
After all, Why would they cooperate? They didn't stole Wu ngji's necklace.
" Yo-You!:
Wu ngji clenched her fist as she looked at Jia Hao. " Why are you so against of it? Does that an you want to let the thief get away?"
" Or, You are afraid to get discovered?"
" Wu ngji, Do you understand what you are saying?" Su Yunqi flared up as she saw Wu ngji pointing at Jia Hao.
" You think I don't have any sha? Or you take as so petty thief who would steal a necklace from you? A million yuan is nothing for ."
" Who knows? That's a pretty rare set." Wu ngji snorted. " Maybe you got your eyes on it?"
" And, being rich doesn't an you can't steal."
" You know what?" Jia Hao stepped forward as he put his hands behind his back.
" Aunty Wu is right. It's better to clarify the situation rather than muddling it."
" Mr. Dong, But I would like to hear your thoughts."
Mr. Dong clenched his teeth. If he agrees, that an he suspects Su Yunqi and other guests here. But if he doesn't, that would an he is leaving the thief scot free.
" Miss Su, I apologize for such inconvenience. However, I would ask your permission to check your purse."
Su Yunqi clenched her teeth as she took deep breaths. She never thought she would face such situation here.
But suddenly, A palm appeared on her shoulder, making her stun.
" It's alright, Aunt Su. Just relax and enjoy the show, ok?" Jia Hao smiled as he held the purse and walked tiowards Mr. Dong.
" Here, Take the purse and check it." Jia Hao handled it nonchalantly.
The secretary of Mr. Don't nodded as he walked forward. Opening the purse, he looked inside carefully.
" What is it? You expression…It doesn't look good." Wu ngji spoke as she eagerly stepped forward.
" What? Why don't you tell?"
" Well…" The secretary shrugged. " There is no necklace at all."
" Wh-What?" Wu ngji was stunned. " That's…That's impossible!"
" There has to be my necklace." Wu ngji shouted as she snatched the purse.
Turning upside down, Su Yunqi's cards, makeup and so other stuff dropped. However, there was no sight of any necklace.
" What? Shocked?" Jia Hao gave a cold grin.
" Everyone can see, There is no necklace. However, I wonder why Aunty Wu was so confident that the necklace was inside this purse?"
" Aunt Wu, Are you hiding sothing?"
" I…I…Why would I?"
Wu ngji took a step back as she composed herself. " I was just…"
" Well, How about we check your purse?"
" Huh?"
Before Wu ngji could react, Jia Hao had already snatched her purse.
" Well, I wonder what I will get here…Oh?"
Wu ngji felt sothing ominous. " Wh-Why are you holding my purse? Give it back!"
" Alright… Here, take it."
Jia Hao passed the purse to Wu ngji. But suddenly, with a small thud, a necklace fell from the purse.
The crows beca silent as everyone looked at it.
" Isn't that…"
" The pendant that got…Stolen?"
" Holy! It was with her all along?"
Wu ngji's eyes almost popped out when she saw that.
" Imp-Impossible! How is this possible!" Wu nji scread.
" Yo-You! You cheated! Yes, It must be so sort of trick!"
" Why do you think it's a trick?" Jia Hao chuckled as he raised his brow.
" Because It was supposed to be inside Su Yunqi's purse!"
