"Miss Xi, I don’t really understand if jade can choose its owner, maybe there’s some sorcery that ordinary people like us can’t see through..."
Gu Shiyin gently tugged at his sleeve: "Brother Hu, let it go..."
Yin Hu: "I’m just speaking some fairness."
Chen Long, having just finished a call and visited the restroom, came out and saw Yin Hu standing up for Gu Shiyin, couldn’t help but hold his forehead.
Oh, he was only away for a little while, and this simpleton is at it again!
Chen Long jogged to try and stop Yin Hu.
Yin Hu spoke righteously: "Miss Xi, I’ve been by Mr. Bo’s side for so many years, and I’ve never heard of him giving away the Jade Pendant. But I do know he recently lost a jade. And just so happens, this identical piece is with you. Isn’t that too much of a coincidence?"
Chen Long covered his face.
It’s over, this fool is beyond saving.
Just because you don’t know something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, you blockhead!
Xi Zuzi listened with a slight smile, patiently waiting for him to finish, then scanned him with her eyes: "Hmm, it wasn’t him who gave it to me, indeed."
Everyone was in an uproar.
Not only were they surprised to find out that Yin Hu was actually Mr. Bo’s subordinate.
But even more shocked that this female thief ended up admitting it herself!
Chu Qiaoen gathered courage: "She’s a thief, call the police fast!"
However, the next moment.
Xi Zuzi lightly lifted her brows, her smile turning frosty: "I don’t need him to give me anything; this belongs to the Ancestor."
The young girl sure has a big mouth.
Yin Hu frowned: "Miss Xi, if you don’t acknowledge it, don’t blame me for being rude..." His hand moved to his waist, as if to take something out.
Gu Shiyin gently advised him: "Brother Hu, don’t get angry, let it go, it’s better to let the police solve it. After all, it’s a criminal matter..."
Before her words fell.
A strong and powerful male voice rang in their ears, shaking them to the core——
"Who said my woman committed a crime?"
Gu Shiyin’s heart suddenly lifted, unable to settle!
This is... Bao Gucheng’s voice?
She had gone so long without seeing him, fearing she might have heard wrong. Stiffly, she turned her head and saw a man draped in a deep green military coat, seemingly arriving in haste. His black leather boots tapped powerfully on the white marble floor, each step like a beat upon her heart.
But he wasn’t here for her.
Nothing could hurt more than this.
Only to see Bao Gucheng parting the crowd, striding directly to stand in front of Xi Zuzi, naturally wrapping his arm around her slim shoulders, almost enveloping her petite figure entirely within his sphere of influence.
His cold eyes widened, sweeping over the crowd chillingly: "My woman can do whatever she wants, who gave you the courage to speak ill?"
The crowd fell silent like cicadas in winter, all shrinking back without daring to reply, but internally each was boiling with turmoil, a tsunami about to rise.
"Damn, Mr. Bo himself came to smack faces!"
"So that Jade Pendant... whether it’s Mr. Bo’s or not, ultimately belongs to this young girl?"
"Goodness, the key is, that young girl is actually... Mr. Bo’s woman? Weren’t the rumors saying Mr. Bo never has women by his side?"
"This is too explosive, this news is more sensational than tonight’s ten-million-dollar auction piece."
Gu Shiyin forced herself to remain calm, barely managing to lower her racing heart, softly greeting: "Hi, Mr. Bo, long time no see."
Bao Gucheng responded with a casual "hmph," not looking at her, instead focusing on Yin Hu:
"Lost over five million in one night, with a debt of two hundred fifty thousand, and you still have the face to be here pointing fingers, framing others?"
