With the woman’s pointing, all eyes at the party abruptly turned to Xiao Yifeng, twinkling with interest.
"So, it’s this guy. Just look at his shabby clothes; he’s obviously not wealthy. He probably sneaked into this party just to steal something."
Situ Yunhai coldly sneered as he gazed at Xiao Yifeng.
"That’s right, he was very close to me just now, it must have been him who stole my diamond ring worth several million!"
The woman angrily pointed at Xiao Yifeng as she spoke.
As the guests at the party looked at Xiao Yifeng, dressed so plainly among them, they couldn’t help but believe he was the thief. After all, his attire did not fit in with theirs, making him a prime suspect.
Xiao Yifeng, however, watched the scene before him with a calm expression, as if enjoying a good show.
Ye Yaxin was about to speak but was pulled back by Xiao Yifeng.
At this moment, Situ Yuntian and others walked over, and addressing Xiao Yifeng, said, "Sir, if you have stolen this lady’s diamond ring, we hope you will hand it over. Perhaps we won’t call the police. Otherwise, once the police confirm it’s you, you better be ready to spend time in prison."
"Kid, give me back my diamond ring right now, or I’m calling the police."
The woman continued to curse at Xiao Yifeng angrily.
"Why waste words on him? The ring is definitely on him!"
Situ Yunhai looked at Xiao Yifeng with venomous eyes and sneered.
"Are you saying the diamond ring is on me?"
Xiao Yifeng stood up and walked up to Situ Yuntian, patting him on the shoulder.
"That’s right, hand it over nicely, and perhaps we can let you off the hook."
Situ Yuntian scoffed in response.
"What if it isn’t on me?"
Xiao Yifeng asked with a light smile.
"It’s impossible that it isn’t. It has to be on you."
The woman stared at Xiao Yifeng, utterly convinced.
"That’s right, it’s got to be on you. Let’s just search him!"
Situ Yunhai said impatiently.
"Situ Clan’s Second Young Master, it seems you are quite certain that the ring is on me, but what if it isn’t?"
Xiao Yifeng looked at Situ Yunhai with a playful smile playing on his lips.
"If it isn’t, I’ll eat shit!"
Situ Yunhai declared directly.
"Good, I look forward to seeing you eat shit!"
Xiao Yifeng smiled lightly and spread his arms.
"Search me then, and see if you find that diamond ring you’re talking about!"
Xiao Yifeng spoke indifferently.
Immediately, Situ Yuntian signaled to Situ Yunhai, who then wheeled forward and began to search Xiao Yifeng. But after a thorough search, his face turned extremely ugly.
Situ Yunhai said with an ugly expression.
"How is that possible?"
"How can it not be there?"
Both the woman and Situ Yuntian displayed expressions of shock and disbelief.
"See, I told you it wasn’t on me. Situ Clan’s Second Young Master, looks like you need to get ready to eat shit."
Xiao Yifeng looked at Situ Yunhai with a grin.
Situ Yunhai glared at Xiao Yifeng, his eyes filled with intense anger.
"Now it’s time to search you."
Xiao Yifeng’s gaze swept towards Situ Yuntian.
Situ Yuntian’s expression froze.
"You’re right, you suspected that I stole this woman’s diamond ring, so you wanted to search my body. Now, I suspect that you stole her diamond ring, so I want to search you."
Xiao Yifeng said directly.
"Kid, you think you can just search my big brother? Besides, my big brother is the eldest young master of the Situ Family Clan. Why would he steal a diamond ring worth millions?"
Situ Yunhai glared at Xiao Yifeng and barked.
"That’s not necessarily true. Rich people who steal are plenty. What’s wrong? Scared to let me search you, or just feeling guilty?"
Xiao Yifeng’s eyes were fixed on Situ Yuntian.
"What do I have to feel guilty about? Since you want to search me, go ahead, I won’t stop you."
Situ Yuntian said, spreading his arms.
"I won’t search you myself, to avoid accusations later that I planted evidence. Let’s have this miss do it."
Xiao Yifeng’s gaze turned to the woman.
"Go ahead and search!"
Situ Yuntian said to the woman, who then walked up to him and reached into the pockets of his coat while everyone present watched.
The corners of Xiao Yifeng’s mouth curled up into a wicked smile. Situ Qian, standing to the side, furrowed her brows slightly upon seeing Xiao Yifeng’s smile.
At this moment, the woman’s complexion changed, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Are you done searching? You can bring it out and show everyone if you found anything."
"Why don’t you tell them if you found it?"
Situ Yuntian still wore an indifferent expression.
The woman took her hands out, revealing a sapphire diamond ring in her grasp, causing an uproar on the spot. A look of immense shock passed through everyone’s eyes.
"How... How is this possible?"
Situ Yuntian eyed the diamond ring in the woman’s hand, his face turned pale, his pupils contracted, in disbelief.
"This is impossible!"
Situ Yunhai also vehemently said.
"The evidence is irrefutable. What’s so impossible? It’s clear now; our esteemed Situ Family Clan’s eldest young master is the real thief of the diamond ring!"
Xiao Yifeng crossed his arms and smiled lightly.
"I didn’t steal it; someone planted it on me."
Situ Yuntian said with an ugly expression, a sinister light flickering in his eyes.
"Are you saying that this miss who lost her diamond ring planted it on you, that she’s trying to frame you?"
"No, I didn’t, I didn’t!"
The woman shook her head frantically and said with a trembling voice as she looked at Situ Yuntian.
"Then that implies the Situ Family Clan’s eldest young master is a petty thief who goes around stealing, which will be quite sensational if it gets out."
Xiao Yifeng looked at Situ Yuntian with a smile while the latter’s face turned as unsightly as if he had eaten something disgusting.
"This surely can’t be what the Situ Family Clan’s eldest young master stole; this has nothing to do with him."
The woman said hastily.
"It has nothing to do with him, then who does it relate to? You said your diamond ring was lost, and now it’s found on Situ Yuntian. You claim it has nothing to do with him, yet you were certain earlier that I was the one who stole it. Could it be that the diamond ring should have been found on me, or is everything a deliberate scheme of yours?"
Xiao Yifeng’s mouth curled into a cold smile as he watched the woman.
"What are you rambling about? That’s not true!"
The woman who had lost the diamond ring quickly said.
Xiao Yifeng’s eyes, agleam with purple halo, bore into the woman, as he deployed his Soul-Capturing Eyes.
"What exactly happened here?"
Xiao Yifeng looked at the woman and asked again.
"All of this was Situ Yuntian Young Master’s doing. He made me do it — to plant the diamond ring in your clothes, then claim that the ring was stolen, and finally find the ring on you to frame you deliberately!"
