"The surveillance footage clearly shows that you took the bag, so you stole the necklace. You shameless bastard, don't try to deny it!" Lu Yixuan retorted sharply, refusing to back down.
Xiang Jin clenched her fist: "We can call Zhang Xiaofu."
"Yes, yes, I think we should call and ask first, just in case it's a misunderstanding." Yu Xingfa quickly stepped in to smooth things over, while dialing Zhang Xiaofu's number.
No one answered the phone.
I called four or five times in a row, but still no one answered.
The atmosphere in the warehouse suddenly became subtle.
Mrs. Lu sneered, "They're not even answering their calls, doesn't that say something? Boss, the Lu family isn't easy to offend. Have you thought about how you're going to explain this?"
“This…this…” Yu Xingfa rubbed his hands, finding himself in a difficult situation.
Suddenly, he raised his hand and slapped Xiang Jin across the face.
"What are you standing there for? The evidence is conclusive. Do you still think you can get away with this? Now you either hand over the necklace or prove you didn't steal it, otherwise I can't protect you!"
The slap landed on Xiang Jin's face, stinging painfully.
She definitely couldn't hand over the necklace; she also couldn't produce any evidence, because apart from Zhang Xiaofu, no one knew whether there was a necklace in the bag or not.
wrong!
There's one more person who knows!
Murong Xiao!
I gave him the bag; all he has to do is send someone to check it and they'll know if there's a necklace inside!
But she didn't have Murong Xiao's phone number.
Besides, he's so busy, and given his status and position, he might not be willing to step forward and help me.
Oh right! The number that called her last time asking her to return the money should still be in the records. She should call that number first and ask. If he's willing to come forward, great. If he's not... well, she'll just have to accept her bad luck.
Xiang Jin picked up a pen and wrote on the blackboard: "I need ten minutes to contact another witness."
Lu Yixuan sneered: "What if you don't answer the phone again? Then I'll have to call the police."
Lu Yixuan's uncle works at the Huadu Police Station. When Xiang Jin was imprisoned, the Lu family used the uncle's connections to openly abuse her in jail.
If she falls into her uncle's hands again... she might not make it out alive.
Xiang Jin buried himself in the records and quickly found the number.
She first sent a text message, but the other party did not reply, so she had no choice but to make a phone call.
The call was answered quickly, and the voice on the other end sounded vaguely familiar: "Is this Miss Xiang? I'm Mr. Xiao's assistant. Is there something you need?"
Xiang Jin was surprised that the other party actually remembered her name. Were all of Murong Xiao's people this capable?
Unable to speak, Xiang Jin hung up the phone and sent a text message. The other end quickly replied: "Understood, please wait a moment while I confirm."
"Okay, if the necklace isn't in the bag, please call back and explain. Thank you!" Xiang Jin replied to the text message, secretly relieved.
If Feng Rong's people are willing to testify, his injustice can be cleared.
However, ten minutes passed quickly, and there was still no news from the other end.
Lu Yixuan became even more arrogant.
She strolled over to Xiang Jin, her sharp high heels landing on Xiang Jin's instep: "What, can't keep up the story? Don't blame me for not giving you a chance."
"Mom, call Uncle and tell him to take good care of the Lu family's enemies. Let's settle all our old and new scores together."
Mrs. Lu immediately dialed her uncle's number.
The sharp pain in his foot made Xiang Jin squat down, cold sweat pouring down his forehead and his face turning even paler.
Lu Yixuan became even more smug and kicked at Xiang Jin.
"Madam Lu!"
Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from the doorway.
Murong Xiao wore a royal blue suit, his posture was upright, his expression was cold and aloof, he was handsome and noble, like he had stepped out of a comic book.
"What are you doing?" He glanced at Xiang Jin on the ground and looked at Mrs. Lu.
"Brother Xiao, what brings you here?" Upon seeing him, Lu Yixuan's tone softened instantly, carrying a hint of flattery and admiration. "Did you hear I was here and come specifically to find me?"
Murong Xiao ignored her, his gaze remaining fixed on Mrs. Lu.
"Here's the thing, Yixuan's birthday is coming up soon, and her friend sent her a necklace, but it got lost by the courier company," Mrs. Lu explained.
"The courier company lost it, why make things difficult for the people below?" His tone was slightly somber as he looked at Xiang Jin.
At this moment, Xiang Jin had already stood up. She lowered her head and stood in an inconspicuous corner, her demureness reaching its extreme.
Just now, she naively thought he had come to explain for her, but little did she know that his purpose was not her at all, but the Lu family.
It seems he's quite familiar with the Lu family.
At least, they're more familiar with me than with myself.
So why would he personally come over to clarify things for someone he doesn't know well? Murong Xiao is so high and mighty, would he do such a thing for a stranger?
Xiang Jin, you are so naive.
She gave a wry smile.
Faced with this uninvited guest, the people in the warehouse didn't dare to breathe.
My God... This person is actually Murong Xiao?
They actually met the real Murong Xiao?
That's absolutely incredible.
However, he was much more handsome than he appeared on TV. He was incredibly dignified and exuded an aura that made you feel suffocated just by standing three or four meters away from him.
Only Lu Yixuan dared to walk up to him.
"Brother Xiao, you've wronged me! I didn't deliberately make things difficult for her. She stole my necklace, and I was just arguing with her!" Lu Yixuan became obedient and ingratiating, completely different from before.
Murong Xiao's gaze sharpened: "Theory, do we need to use our feet?"
Lu Yixuan choked.
"That's because she killed my sister, and I was so angry that I did this... Brother Xiao, you don't know, do you? This Xiang Jin is the murderer who killed my sister. If it weren't for her, you would have married my sister long ago!"
Lu Yixuan was extremely indignant.
The Lu family was of average social standing, not even ranking among the elites of Huadu. It was only because Old Master Lu and Old Master Murong were comrades-in-arms that they jokingly arranged a marriage between their descendants when they were young, which led to the relationship between Murong Xiao and Lu Yifan.
Although the marriage wasn't mentioned openly at the time, everyone knew it was only a matter of time.
If Lu Yifan hadn't died, she would definitely have married Murong Xiao, and then the Lu family would have become the most dazzling noble family in China, living a life of pride and dignity from then on!
But all of this was ruined, ruined by Xiang Jin!
She was driving under the influence of alcohol, and she killed her sister, destroying all the hopes of the Lu family. How could they not hate her, how could they not resent her?!
Upon hearing Lu Yixuan's words, Murong Xiao's expression turned cold: "The person is dead, why bring this up?"
"But your sister is your fiancée. Now your enemy is right in front of you. Aren't you going to stand up for her?" Lu Yixuan looked at Xiang Jin with resentment.
