Chapter 107 Compensation
"I don't think it's right," Ye Qiming frowned slightly and looked at Gu Hongqi questioningly, "Why are you so sure the necklace is on my little sister?"
"What else could it be? Who else would steal it besides her? Would Lawyer Ye do it? Or would Miss Ye? Ye Wangshu might, but I don't think it's necessary."
At this moment, Gu Hongqi's mind was confused by the necklace, and he did not try to please Ye Qiming when he asked her questions.
Ye Wangshu used his eyes to signal Ye Wanwan to calm down. If he hadn't been stopping her, Ye Wanwan would have probably already rushed over to Gu Hongqi and started cursing.
"Lawyer Ye, Wanwan and I are taking Gu Hongqi and my younger sister to the warehouse for a body search. Please keep an eye on them in the store."
"Miss Ye, I think... there is something fishy about this." Ye Qiming looked at Ye Wangshu who looked indifferent, and felt very anxious.
But he had no evidence and did not dare to say directly that it was Gu Hongqi who put the necklace on Zhou Xiaohong.
"Please be patient, Lawyer Ye. I will take care of this matter."
Ye Wangshu seemed to have some magical power. When she finished speaking, Ye Qiming felt that Ye Wangshu had made up her mind and would definitely not let Gu Hongqi's evil plan succeed.
After the four of them entered the warehouse, Ye Wangshu asked Zhou Xiaohong to show her pockets and even take off her coat.
Gu Hongqi kept staring at Zhou Xiaohong's bag, and when he saw that there was no pearl necklace inside, he felt a little scared.
She clearly put the pearl necklace in there with her own hands, so why is it not inside?
Before Gu Hongqi could figure out the reason, Ye Wanwan arrogantly said to her, "Now it's proven that I don't have a pearl necklace hidden on me, so Gu Hongqi, it's your turn."
Ye Wanwan's attitude was very firm. Gu Hongqi didn't want to leave a bad impression in front of Ye Wanwan, so he started to look through his pockets in front of everyone like his little sister.
When he found his bag, Gu Hongqi was stunned.
Then Gu Hongqi held the bag down nervously and said, "As you can see, I don't have anything on me."
"We can't see your bag clearly, open it and let us take a look."
Ye Wanwan was about to grab it after she finished speaking, but as a rich girl, how could she compare to Gu Hongqi who had been training all the time?
Seeing this, Ye Wangshu reached out and grasped Gu Hongqi's arm, twisting it around and pinning her arm behind her back. "Wanwan, start searching the bag."
Ye Wanwan immediately hugged the bag into her arms. When she opened it, she saw a pearl necklace.
"Gu Hongqi, this is the pearl necklace you lost, right? We've been looking for it for so long, and it turns out you stole it!"
Ye Wanwan angrily threw the bag in her hand at Gu Hongqi, but Ye Wangshu had already let her go.
"Gu Hongqi, you must accept defeat. You must apologize to my younger sister and pay compensation."
"How did this necklace end up in my bag? I clearly, I clearly..."
Gu Hongqi looked up at Ye Wangshu and paused.
Although she didn't know why, she couldn't tell the truth.
"It's just a verbal agreement, it doesn't count. Now that I've found the necklace, I'll leave first."
Gu Hongqi spoke in a very low voice but moved very quickly.
But as soon as she walked out of the warehouse, she was stopped by Ye Qiming.
"Lawyer Ye, you're a lawyer, you should know that the verbal agreement just now is not binding!"
Gu Hongqi swallowed and looked at Ye Qiming pleadingly, "Lawyer Ye, are you going to watch me being bullied by these three?"
"Bullying? Haven't you been bullying them all the time?" Ye Qiming naturally would not speak for Gu Hongqi, and even wanted to fight for the best compensation for Ye Wangshu.
"Without a written agreement, the agreement is invalid! Even if you're a lawyer and their friend, it won't be any use taking them to the police station."
Gu Hongqi was extremely panicked, but there was a thread in her heart that kept her awake.
Ye Wangshu didn't really care about Gu Hongqi's compensation, so he signaled Ye Wanwan and her brother to leave the matter to him.
"Gu Hongqi, I don't want the extra money from you, but you have to restore my store to its original state and apologize to my little sister."
"We all renovated this shop together, why should I be the only one to restore it to its original state?"
After Gu Hongqi finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and looked at Zhou Xiaohong with red eyes and paused.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have wronged you."
"It's okay, but I won't forgive you, and I will never like you again."
Zhou Xiaohong was not stupid. She did not notice when Gu Hongqi put the necklace into her bag, but she also felt something was wrong.
With Ye Qiming's words, she quickly figured it out.
Although she didn't know why the necklace appeared in Gu Hongqi's bag, she thought her sister-in-law must have found it and put the necklace there.
My sister-in-law is so capable, it must be her.
After hearing Zhou Xiaohong's words, Gu Hongqi felt empty inside and said stubbornly, "Who cares whether you like me or not."
"That won't do. Gu Hongqi, since you keep saying that the necklace is with my younger sister." Ye Wangshu listened for a long time and looked at Gu Hongqi's expression. "Why not give the necklace to my younger sister?"
"This necklace costs dozens of dollars! What's the point of giving it to a little girl? Can she take it out?"
Gu Hongqi naturally didn't want to do that and held her bag tightly.
"Since Miss Gu is unwilling to compensate, then I, Ye Qiming, will make you pay ten times the compensation even if I have to stop being a lawyer."
Gu Hongqi didn't expect Ye Qiming to say such a thing. She looked at everyone with frustration, then squinted her eyes and threw the necklace away.
"Here you go, here you go!"
Zhou Xiaohong steadily caught the pearl necklace, then looked at Ye Wangshu and was about to give it to her.
Ye Wangshu asked Zhou Xiaohong to put it away by herself, and she walked towards Gu Hongqi, "Sister Hong, this is the last time I will call you Sister Hong. When we meet again, we will just be strangers."
After hearing what Ye Wangshu said, Gu Hongqi's eyes froze. Before he could open his mouth, he heard Ye Wangshu's next words and instantly felt a hint of regret.
"I don't know if you're in trouble or something. If you tell me straight away, I might not be able to help you much, but I will definitely find a solution for you."
"But you shouldn't have used me, and you shouldn't have tried so hard to seduce Wanwan's brother. Worst of all, you shouldn't have wronged me. Our fate is over, and from now on... we'll just be strangers."
Hearing this, Gu Hongqi sneered, then said: "If we meet again, we will just be strangers. It's best... not to see each other again."
Gu Hongqi closed his eyes, a tear trace rolled down his cheek, and he turned and left the store.
After what happened today, the few of them no longer wanted to tidy up the shop and they went their separate ways.
"Little sister, do you want to keep this necklace or sell it for money?"
"Can this necklace be sold for money?" Zhou Xiaohong frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Ye Wangshu, "Sister-in-law, I don't want to keep this necklace. So... Sister-in-law, take me to sell the necklace!"
Ye Wangshu knew that his younger sister was hurt by Gu Hongqi, so he raised his hand and rubbed her head. "Okay, sister-in-law will take you to sell the necklace."
