Chapter 117 The jade pendant was switched and disappeared.

The next day, Gu Yulin went to the appraisal agency and took away the two jade pendants. He kept his own and took the other one to the Luo Group.

If Lu Jingxiao hadn't said that Luo Zhiwei had gone back to take control of the Luo family, he probably would have gone directly to the Lu family today.

Miss Luo's ability to reclaim everything that belongs to her proves she's not someone to be trifled with.

With Lu Jingxiao's instructions, Gu Yulin went straight to the president's office when he arrived at the company. The moment he opened the door, he wished he could gouge his own eyes out.

Lu Jingxiao was personally instructing Luo Zhiwei, presumably to handle company affairs.

The two were in a very ambiguous, very... embarrassing position.

Luo Zhiwei was the first to notice him. She awkwardly nudged Lu Jingxiao and whispered, "Get out of the way, President Gu is here."

Lu Jingxiao gave a haughty hum and reluctantly let go of her, feeling that Weiwei was also a scumbag woman.

Luo Zhiwei stood up, took two steps toward Gu Yulin, and greeted him softly, "Mr. Gu, what brings you here at this hour?"

Gu Yulin got straight to the point, handing the jade pendant to Luo Zhiwei and saying gently, "I came here to have you take a look at your jade pendant. There was a slight discrepancy in the appraisal, and I need to do a new appraisal report."

Luo Zhiwei solemnly accepted the jade pendant.

"This is not my jade pendant."

She could sense it at a glance.

She had played with this jade pendant for so many years, and even wore it for a while. But at some point, her mother stopped her from wearing it, saying it was inappropriate and replaced it with a diamond necklace.

But she was still the person who knew the jade pendant best, besides her mother.

My mother's dragon-patterned jade pendant is very smooth, has a great texture, and is quite heavy.

But this jade pendant in front of me was the complete opposite. Although it was smooth, it lacked texture and even felt quite rough. The weight was wrong, and nothing about it was right.

Luo Zhiwei looked at Gu Yulin nervously: "Mr. Gu, where is my mother's jade pendant!"

Gu Yulin frowned, not expecting that something had really happened.

Who exactly did this, and why?

Luo Zhiwei became agitated. She had endured so many years for this jade pendant. Where was the jade pendant? Where was her mother's jade pendant?

Lu Jingxiao frowned, walked quickly to Luo Zhiwei's side, and naturally put his arm around her waist: "What's going on?"

As if she had found her pillar of support, Luo Zhiwei looked at Lu Jingxiao with tears in her eyes, her voice choked with emotion: "Lu Jingxiao, this is not my mother's jade pendant!"

Gu Yulin quickly replied, "I went to get it this morning, I didn't go anywhere. My jade pendant is real, I didn't know..."

If you're going to switch the product, why not switch his too?

Lu Jingxiao's face instantly darkened: "You don't know?"

"I...I realized something was wrong yesterday, so I went there first thing this morning, but who knew..." Gu Yulin quickly looked at Luo Zhiwei and said apologetically, "Miss Luo, don't worry, I will definitely find the jade pendant!"

If the jade pendant cannot be found, I'm afraid... Luo Zhiwei will collapse.

Lu Jingxiao coldly rebuked, "You knew your third uncle was back, why didn't you take any precautions!"

The younger generation respected Gu Hanchi, but disliked him because his eyes were calculating and sinister. However, in front of Gu Hancheng, he pretended to be innocent, making Gu Hancheng treat him with utmost kindness.

They originally thought he wouldn't do anything to the younger generation, but they were overthinking it. Li Huaijin and he almost had their legs broken by Gu Hanchi's scheme.

Afterwards, they pretended not to know, not to understand, and not to know.

He looked like a victim, making it impossible for anyone to do anything to him.

Gu Hanchi is definitely not as simple as he seems, but Gu Hancheng's filter for him is too thick, and he has no doubts at all.

Fortunately, Gu Hanchi quieted down after that, and people thought he had really changed.

The result was simply... to remain silent and not retaliate. After all, how can a dog possibly change its habit of eating excrement?

Gu Yulin was also at a loss, even somewhat distraught: "I don't know, I... My uncle said that after Third Uncle went home, he never went out again, and his closest subordinates are all at home..."

Luo Zhiwei didn't want to hear them say these things. Her gaze was fixed on Gu Yulin: "Where exactly is my jade pendant?"

Gu Yulin took a deep breath: "I'll investigate now and give you an explanation."

Lu Jingxiao also dialed Wei Mingfeng's number directly: "Take the head of the information department to the jade appraisal agency and check the surveillance footage from the past few days!"

"yes!"

Lu Jingxiao gently comforted Luo Zhiwei, his voice warm and gentle: "Weiwei, don't worry, the boss and I will find your jade pendant, we definitely will."

Gu Yulin quickly added, "I'm sorry, Miss Luo. I didn't know it would turn out this way. No matter the cost, I will find the jade pendant for you."

Luo Zhiwei suppressed her anger, her eyes bloodshot as she stared at them: "I'll give you three days. If you can't find my jade pendant, I'll risk my life to cause a scene at your Gu family's house!"

She had just realized that this matter was related to the Gu family.

Gu Yulin remained silent, which was a silent response.

**

The Imperial Capital Jade Appraisal Institute is the most authoritative and official institution in the capital.

At this point, a complete lockdown had been imposed. All staff members and leaders were in the lobby, and everyone was checking the surveillance footage together.

Lu Jingxiao threw the appraisal report in his hand in front of the chairman. Gu Yulin's jade pendant and Weiwei's fake jade pendant were both placed in front of them. He also pulled up the surveillance footage of Gu Yulin coming to pick up the jade pendant that morning. It was obvious that the one he took out was the one in his hand.

"I sent over two identical jade pendants, and now they've turned into this?"

"Your organization must give me an explanation!"

Even the chairman wouldn't dare offend these two menacing figures; either one of them could bring their appraisal agency to an end.

Damn it, what's going on?

"President Gu, President Lu, please don't worry. We're just checking the surveillance footage. Can we talk about it after we've seen the footage?"

However, after reviewing the surveillance footage, no one noticed anything amiss.

Just when they were at their wits' end, Luo Zhiwei suddenly pointed to a camera and said, "No, the time is wrong, it's ten minutes short!"

Lu Jingxiao looked in the direction Luo Zhiwei pointed. The nine-grid surveillance cameras on the large screen had something unusual in the corner. He walked closer and ordered his men to zoom in. That's when they noticed the time in the lower left corner; it was indeed wrong.

Lu Jingxiao looked at the head of the information department and asked in a low voice, "Manager Zhang, can it be repaired?"

Manager Zhang performed the operation with a serious expression, and then said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, the surveillance camera wasn't destroyed. It was simply turned off and didn't capture anything. The other party then went to the trouble of deleting that segment, but in reality, there was nothing there."

Even though the power was off, the surveillance footage still recorded even when the screen was black, but nothing was uploaded. Uploading it to the cloud would raise suspicion, so the other party probably knew this and deliberately deleted it.

It seems the other party is quite familiar with how the organization operates.

Suddenly a woman's voice came: "Isn't this the door to the testing room? How did this person get in?"
