Chapter 360: Impersonation
lounge.
"You are the one who took my ring?"
Xu Si sat on the sofa, playing with the ring in his hand, not even looking at the person kneeling on the ground.
"Boss Xu, Boss Xu, I didn't mean to do that. I didn't know it was your ring. I just saw a ring on the sink, and it didn't look very valuable, so I just took it away."
"Conveniently?" Xu Si snorted coldly, "Then you really did conveniently swap it with the item you were bidding on, didn't you?"
The man shook his head frantically, "No, I didn't take the item. After I came back from the bathroom, they said the item was missing. I was afraid you would blame me, so I remembered the ring I picked up from the sink, so I put it back there. I really didn't take the item, Mr. Xu, please believe me!"
He knelt on the ground, crawled to Xu Si's feet, and pulled his trouser leg, but Xu Si kicked him out and hit his head. It hurt so much but he dared not say a word, and kept begging Xu Si for forgiveness.
Not long after, another person was brought in.
"Boss Xu, the ring was found on him."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu. I was bewildered. Please give me a chance, Mr. Xu."
The man knelt in front of Xu Si without saying a word. Xu Si frowned, his eyes full of impatience.
"You almost ruined my dance and almost made me lose my most precious ring. Why do you think I will forgive you?" Xu Si looked at the bodyguard standing next to him. With just one look, the bodyguard immediately stepped forward and dragged the two men out. The shouting finally stopped.
"Mr. Xu, calm down." The secretary handed Xu Si a cup of tea.
Xu Si took the tea and took a sip. It tasted bitter and unpalatable.
"By the way, find the person who just bid the price."
"I've checked. No. 21 is a lady. She said a waiter used her sign to bid. I've also sent someone to look for the waiter. There should be news soon."
The secretary had followed Xu Si for so many years, and he knew his temper very well, so he had made arrangements early on.
Shu Huai followed and found that all the waiters were gathered together.
Xu Mengyun was there too.
She asked everyone to take off their masks and she went to them one by one.
Seeing this, Shu Huai had no choice but to do as he was told. He noticed that Fu Heming was not there.
Soon, Xu Mengyun came to Shu Huai. She was a little surprised to see Shu Huai, "Why are you here too?"
“Part-time job.”
Shu Huai lied without blinking.
Xu Mengyun said "oh" with a long tail sound.
“I see.”
After looking around, she still couldn't find Fu Heming and took a step back.
"I originally wanted to find someone, but he seemed..."
"Miss, you've asked Mr. Xu, but haven't you found the person yet?" The secretary came over to urge.
Xu Mengyun was just about to say that Fu Heming was not there when Shu Huai happened to see a masked waiter coming in. His intuition told him that the man was Fu Heming.
He couldn't let Fu Heming and Xu Si meet.
"The person you are looking for is me."
Shu Huai stepped forward and interrupted Xu Mengyun.
Xu Mengyun looked at him in surprise. What was going on?
The secretary looked at Shu Huai and asked Xu Mengyun, "Is it him, Miss?"
Xu Mengyun raised an eyebrow, very curious about why Shu Huai did this, but did not expose him, "Yes, it's him."
After getting Xu Mengyun's affirmative words, the secretary took Shu Huai away.
"Come with me."
Shu Huai hurriedly followed in his footsteps.
"Can you help me take a look at why my eyelids keep twitching?" Shu Yue always felt uneasy.
Fu Jingshen looked down at her eyes and found that an eyelash had fallen into her eye. "Don't move, there is an eyelash."
He blew on Shu Yue, and it took Shu Yue a long time to feel better.
"Don't worry too much, Shu Huai is so smart, he will be fine." Fu Jingshen knew that she was worried about Shu Huai.
"But it's been half an hour and he hasn't come out yet." It would be strange if Shu Yue wasn't worried.
Shu Huai followed Xu Si's secretary all the way to the lounge.
"Boss Xu, I've brought the person here."
Xu Si was taking a nap on the sofa. He raised his hand when he heard the sound.
"Come in."
The secretary spoke to Shu Huai, then left the lounge and closed the door.
Shu Huai stood at the door and looked at Xu Si, but did not go directly over.
Xu Si opened his eyes and looked at him. "Why are you standing so far away? Come closer."
Shu Huai hesitated for a moment, but still walked over. Only when he got closer did Xu Si see Shu Huai's appearance clearly.
"Have I seen you somewhere before?" He thought Shu Huai looked familiar.
"Boss Xu, I came from Shangjing with Boss Fu."
"Oh, I remember now, you are Miss Shu's brother, right?" Xu Si invited him to sit down.
"Why did you come to the dance to work as a waiter?" he asked curiously.
"You only invited my sister and Mr. Fu to the dance. I want to ensure my sister's safety, so I came to the dance to work as a part-time waiter." Shu Huai answered fluently.
Xu Si nodded, "I can see that you treat your sister very well."
He took the initiative to pour Shu Huai a glass of water, "I was negligent, I should have asked you to come together."
"You're welcome, Mr. Xu." Shu Huai took the water he handed over.
"But the reason I called you here this time is that I'm more curious about why you wanted to bid for the ring in my hand. This ring is just an ordinary one, not a rare treasure. No one bid for it, but you did." When Xu Si said this, he stared at Shu Huai with a shrewd and calculating look in his eyes.
Faced with Xu Si's question, Shu Huai hesitated for a moment.
Shu Yue's guess was correct. The ring must have some function, otherwise Xu Si would not have called him over alone. And just now, he wore the ring on his ring finger, which showed that he cherished it very much.
Then let’s bet on the answer, that the ring belongs to Fu Heming’s mother Chen Xinyi.
“This is something from an old friend of mine.”
Shu Huai's answer was ambiguous, giving Xu Si the opportunity to guess.
"Old friend?" Xu Si raised his eyebrows and leaned back on the sofa. "I see you are only about twenty years old, but this ring is probably one or two years older than you. How do you know such an old friend?"
He obviously didn't believe Shu Huai's words.
Shu Huai has a very strong psychological quality, and Xu Si's few words cannot make him lose his composure.
"I may be young, but that doesn't mean I don't have any old friends, right, Mr. Xu?"
"Then I'm curious, what's the name of this old friend of yours?"
"If I tell you the name of my old friend, can Mr. Xu give me the ring?" Shu Huai asked back.
After all, Fu Heming was willing to spend more than one million to buy the ring, so he had to show that he cared about the ring, otherwise a shrewd man like Xu Si would become suspicious.
Xu Si frowned, "Then you have to give me a reasonable explanation."
Shu Huai picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.
"This old friend of mine is called Chen Xinyi."
