Shen Xiu almost choked upon hearing this and said, “Of course, I don’t mean that.”
He looked at Shen Zihao and peered behind him. “Why? Have you finally found her and brought her home?”
Snorting disdainfully, he continued, “She thinks that by throwing a little tantrum, she will retrieve her dignity? Let me tell you, our family doesn’t buy that crap! The crying, the tantrum and the threats, huh!”
He said these words sarcastically as he looked behind Shen Zihao, but no one appeared. Shen Zihao had returned home alone.
Shen Xiu was stunned and asked, “Where is Xia Nuannuan?”
Shen Zihao didn’t know what else to say.
He stood there and looked at Shen Xiu steadily.
Then he turned to look at all the housekeepers standing around.
They stood there with lowered heads, but they looked at him with pity in their eyes. A few of them had shown outright disdain when they heard Xia Nuannuan’s name.
All of these housekeepers earned more than 10 thousand a month.
Hence, 50 thousand was really not much to them.
He was sure these people looked down on Xia Nuannuan.
He finally understood what Xia Nuannuan meant.
Suddenly, he felt anger rise within him. He lifted his gaze and wanted to say something, but when he saw the deep concern in Mei Feng’s eyes, he hesitated and then kept silent.
After a moment, he said, “She’ll be home in a few days.”
As he said this, he glanced at Shen Xiu. “Dad, Aunty Mei, it’s late. You should go and rest.”
Shen Xiu frowned as Shen Zihao said those words.
A moment later, the man grunted, “Uh huh.”
Then he went upstairs with Mei Feng.
The people around started to disperse.
The butler turned around, but suddenly heard Shen Zihao call him, “Butler.”
Looking at him, Shen Zihao instructed, “I want the surveillance footage from every part of the house today.”
The butler hesitated for a moment when he heard this. “Eh? Young Master?”
He thought he had heard wrong.
However, Shen Zihao looked calm and composed as he continued, “Send them to my study.”
The butler immediately replied in a respectful tone, “Yes, Young Master.”
Five minutes later, the recordings were sitting on Shen Zihao’s study desk.
He looked through all the recordings, from the time the money had been taken, till it was discovered in Xia Nuannuan’s suitcase.
Xia Nuannuan had not taken the money.
He could be sure of that now.
Otherwise, why would she react so angrily?
But he had discovered nothing odd after carefully watching the recording from various spots on the second floor.
These recordings had not been edited. It was obvious they were the original footage.
After the 50 thousand had gone missing, besides Xia Nuannuan, no one else had entered their bedroom.
But the money had eventually been found in the bedroom.
Analyzing the details, it was almost certain that Xia Nuannuan had taken the money.
Hence... where exactly did the problem lie?
Surely, the 50 thousand couldn’t have grown legs and ran to Xia Nuannuan’s suitcase.
Shen Zihao furrowed his brow in deep concentration as he stared at the footage.
He pondered with great focus.
A few hours ago, he had been led by all of this evidence to believe that Xia Nuannuan had taken the money, but now...
Suddenly, as though he had thought of something, his eyes lit up.
