“What do you have in mind?” Sheng Yu frowned.
Luo Chenxi answered, “Since we can’t come to a conclusion, let’s just call the police.”
“The police?”
Luo Chenxi smiled, “That’s right, isn’t getting the police involved the most effective and reasonable solution to this matter? After all, we are talking about a jewelry worth seven million RMB here, it’s a legitimate criminal case that involves a huge sum of money. With a case as big as this, how can we keep the police out of the loop?”
Hearing this, Zuo Xiaoqing’s face instantly turned green.
At first, she expected the surveillance footage to firmly pin the blame on Luo Chenxi, then have her apologize to Wu Lingshan so that she would be forced to retire from the competition.
However, Zuo Xiaoqing completely did not expect Luo Chenxi to bring up the police.
If the police got involved, this is going to become a criminal case.
And if they found out that she was the one pulling tricks behind the scene…
She quickly looked at Wu Lingshan for help.
Wu Lingshan did not even look at her and stared at Luo Chenxi with a shocked expression. “Xing Chen, why bother going through such trouble? In my opinion, you do look pretty talented in designing, so it’s a real pity that you’ll be getting a criminal record because of this incident. Forget it, as long as you properly apologize, we’ll let this slide, so that it won’t affect your future…”
Her attitude was righteous, as if she was being considerate of Luo Chenxi.
This got many people moved.
“As expected of Miss Wu, the daughter of a wealthy family. Her magnanimity is incomparable to that of an ordinary person!”
“She’s being considerate of Xing Chen’s future regardless of the bracelet’s theft. How amazing!”
“I can’t believe Xing Chen attempted to frame Miss Wu back. For a person to stoop so low, that’s just going too far!”
Luo Chenxi was also shocked.
She was no stranger to seeing thick-skinned people, but to see a person as shameless as Wu Lingshan, it was a first.
Wu Lingshan really plummeted through the bottom line of Luo Chenxi’s definition of shamelessness.
She shook her head. “Miss Wu, what a deep pocket you have there. We’re talking about a diamond bracelet worth seven million here, yet all you want is a mere apology? Shouldn’t you at least find the bracelet first, or are you trying to tell me that you don’t want it anymore?
Wu Lingshan was stunned. She realized the loophole in her speech and tried to change her remark. “Um… I do want to find the bracelet, but…”
“That’s enough, cut the crap. Call the police immediately. Everybody stays here. No one is allowed to leave the exhibition hall until the police investigation is over!”
Sheng Yu suddenly interrupted and straight away instructed a staff member to call the police.
Wu Lingshan still wanted to say something, but when she met Sheng Yu’s piercing gaze, she quieted down.
‘Forget it. If I persist, Sheng Yu might grow suspicious of me, that will ruin my plan.’
‘Since the footage is already here, even if the police arrive, they can only assume that Luo Chenxi is the culprit.’
Moreover, her father, Wu Yingdi had a lot of connections with the higher ups of the officials, he was also pretty close to the chief police. So, even if things went south, she could easily cover them up.
It’s too naive for Luo Chenxi to think that she could turn the tables just by calling the police!
“T City police station? There has been a theft, the lost item is worth seven million… Yes, you heard right, it’s seven million… Yes, please send someone over immediately. The address is…”
The staff hung up the phone and the exhibition hall suddenly fell into silence.
It was already dark outside, and it was past dinner time.
However, there was no way someone would dare to leave after such an incident had taken place.
As the people got bored of waiting, everyone started playing with their phones to kill time.
Suddenly, someone shouted, “Wu Lingshan just posted on Weibo!”
This sentence immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
“A new post? What does it say?”
“Do you even need to ask? It must be about that incident just now! Anyway, it’s understandable, she just lost a jewelry worth seven million out of the blue while the culprit refuses to admit her crime. I, too, would have been furious if I were Wu Lingshan!”
“Let me take a look… Miss Wu is still keeping a low profile about the matter. However, the netizens aren’t dumb, they must’ve guessed what is happening already. Miss Wu is a fashion celebrity with a million fans. Xing Chen is going to get flamed to oblivion!”
“She deserves it! She could’ve just apologized from the start!”
Luo Chenxi did not expect Wu Lingshan to go so far and frowned at her ruthlessness.
She also took out her phone to view Wu Lingshan’s post.
As the screen of her cell phone lit up, she realized that she had seven or eight missed calls. She did not hear them because her phone was on silent mode.
Luo Chenxi was briefly stunned.
At this moment, the name ‘Mu Yichen’ popped up on the screen.
Mu Yichen?
Why was he calling at this time?!
