The next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the window. Gu Yunchen had just woken up when he heard a noise outside.

He stood up and walked to the door to check, and found that it was Jiang Mianmian who was furious at the housekeeper.

"Some of my valuables must be missing? They were stolen by someone with ulterior motives! Hurry up and look for them for me!" Jiang Mianmian put her hands on her hips, raised her eyebrows, and shouted loudly.

The housekeeper beside him had a bitter face and nodded timidly, "Yes, old lady, I will send someone to look for it right away. But don't worry, old lady. Maybe you just put it in the wrong place."

"Impossible! I clearly remembered putting it there yesterday, but it was gone when I woke up this morning. Some damn thief must have stolen it while I wasn't paying attention!"

Jiang Mianmian spoke with certainty, insisting that there was a thief in her house.

She continued, "And I'm sure the things I lost are definitely still in our mansion. I just don't know where that daring fellow hid them."

After saying that, she glared at the butler fiercely, frightening him so much that he quickly lowered his head, quickened his pace and began to look around for the lost items.

Gu Yunchen curled his lips in silence, secretly complaining in his heart, his mother was clearly making indirect accusations! She was just short of directly accusing him by name.

Because, the moment he arrived, he clearly felt the meaningful gaze from his mother.

Thinking back on what happened yesterday, he couldn't help but laugh and cry. His mother had pretended to know nothing at the time, allowing others to "steal" at will.

Haha, who knew that at dawn, she would suddenly turn hostile to me. This speed is so fast, even more amazing than the face-changing in Sichuan Opera!

At this moment, the mother's voice echoed in Gu Yunchen's ears:

"Humph, I saw this with my own eyes, how could it be fake? I'll have the housekeeper catch that 'little thief' later, and then I can kick him out of the house in a logical and fair manner."

【Hehehe...】

[Yesterday, I was struggling to find a suitable excuse to get rid of you, but I didn't expect to have a ready-made handle delivered to my door so quickly today!]

At this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came: "Who? Who stole something?"

It turned out to be Shen Xiu Jin. He was woken up early in the morning and was really scared when he heard that a thief had broken into his house yesterday and some items were stolen.

No way, who on earth has the guts to sneak into his house and steal so openly.

Besides, what on earth were the guards in charge of guarding the house doing? Were they just for show?

"Mom, did we really lose something?" Shen Xiujin ran over in an instant and even pushed Gu Yunchen aside with force.

Then, he rushed to Jiang Mianmian and asked anxiously, "Mom, what was lost in our house last night?"

"Something was lost, and it was lost last night, that's for sure, but I don't know exactly what it is yet. However, I can be certain that the lost item must still be hidden in our mansion."

Shen Xiujin: "..."

Jiang Mianmian said seriously, "Second brother, you have to trust a woman's intuition. It's very accurate."

Hearing this, Shen Xiujin hurriedly nodded in agreement: "Yeah, right, right! Your son has always believed that your intuition is extremely accurate and will never be wrong."

But I was secretly wondering why the housekeeper was so nagging. My mother had already seen it with her own eyes, so could he be wrong?

With a gloomy expression, Shen Xiujin ordered the housekeeper to search the entire mansion immediately. After all, the loss of items at home was secondary. If the news of a thief entering the mansion spread, it would be a real disgrace!

At this moment, Shen Xiuyan and Li Tingxue also hurried over. It turned out that they heard about the "thief" breaking into the house, so they came to ask what was going on!

Therefore, several people were obviously very concerned about this matter, and all looked nervous.

However, no one present thought of a key question - since Jiang Mianmian saw the so-called "thief" with her own eyes last night, why didn't she shout for help at that time?

Gu Yunchen was speechless and did not join them in looking for the "thief". Instead, he sat down slowly on the chair, scanning the group of family members in front of him who were "performing hard" with cold eyes.

At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Should I admire my mother's superb "acting skills" for successfully deceiving the whole family?

Or should we admire everyone in the family for being so "filial" and willingly accompanying their mother in this farce?

When Jiang Mianmian noticed Gu Yunchen's unusually calm reaction, she was stunned for a moment.

[Hey, why is this kid so calm? ]

[Could this be the state they say someone can reach when they're shameless and unbeatable? He did something like this, and yet he was able to sit there so calmly and composedly, as if nothing had happened.]

[Sure enough, no matter how good-looking a man is, it can't hide his thick skin! ]

No, wait!

At this moment, Shen Xiujin's heart suddenly skipped a beat. His mother had clearly mentioned someone by name, but who was it?

He hurriedly looked in the direction of his mother's gaze, and ended up looking straight into Gu Yunchen's eyes.

However, what was surprising was that in the face of his gaze, Gu Yunchen just looked indifferent and looked back at him expressionlessly.

Oh no, something's wrong! There must be something fishy going on here.
