Andy was even more disdainful. "With so many people passing by, the machine just alerted you. Who else could it be if not you?"
"If you don't agree to apologize, I refuse to be searched. At worst, call the police and let them handle it."
"You..." Andy's face wrinkled, and he hummed softly, "Okay, if I don't find the raw stone, I apologize to you."
After getting the consent, Ning Yichu took off her coat and handbag.
Security checked immediately.
Ning Yichu didn't think they could find out anything, but the next second, something incredible happened to her.
“Found it!!”
The security guard found a red brocade box in Ning Yichu's bag, which contained an S-grade icy jadeite.
The texture is exactly the same as the one just on the booth!
Even the size is very similar.
Ning Yichu was surprised and then suddenly realized that the reason why the machine alarmed was because of this raw stone. Well, now he found out the reason why the machine sounded. Now it seems that the real stolen raw stone is still in the venue.
Seeing that she still looked very calm, everyone was even more furious.
"She really stole it, didn't she? I take back what I just said. It turns out that work has nothing to do with character."
"How could a thief like her appear in our jade carving industry? I'm speechless."
"This jadeite is extremely valuable. Stealing such a valuable item would be punishable by imprisonment..."
"Haha, thankfully this happened in Reykjavík. If it were any other private mine abroad, I'm afraid no one would care if they were executed."
The whispers of the people around him kept reaching Ning Yichu's ears.
She spoke slowly, her eyes clear and frank, "Are you so sure that this rough stone is the one that was stolen?"
Andy, "The materials and sizes are exactly the same, what else do you have to say?"
"Of course." Ning Yichu said lightly,
"I didn't steal the icy jadeite from the exhibition. The jadeite in the brocade box was mine yesterday when I was gambling on stones at the materials center. You can go to that store and confront the owner. There should be many passers-by who can testify on my behalf."
As soon as these words were spoken, a local jade carver jumped out.
"I've been in Reykjavík for so many years, and I've never heard of gambling on stones in the materials market. Even if there is, it's just a market for trading defective products."
"The authentic gambling stone trading area is over there in the antique street..."
"Even if Miss Ning wants to make an excuse, can't she say something practical?"
Ning Yichu's expression changed slightly. She had indeed gone to the materials market yesterday.
"The stall that the gambling stone owner rented was shared with someone else."
"Don't try to quibble." Andy stood up and said, "Sharing a stall? Do you think we've never been to that market before?"
Ning Yichu's mind flashed back to Li Lingyang's face...
Then, looking at the people in front of him who were constantly accusing him, he swept a cold gaze over them, "I said I didn't steal it, so I didn't steal it. Are only ice jades allowed in exhibitions, and jade carvers are not allowed to bring them in privately?"
"The rough stones at the exhibition have specific data. You can compare my piece with the lost one. Besides, you can obviously check the surveillance video. Why don't you investigate it and keep staring at me?"
"Miss Andy, isn't it too obvious that you want to put the blame on me?"
The security guard was slightly stunned and looked at Andy suspiciously, but before he could say anything, Andy jumped up like a cat.
"The truth is already before our eyes, what's the point of investigating?"
Andy's eyes flashed, and he gave an order, "Hurry up and control this thief, and contact Mr. William!"
After all, a very similar raw stone was found on her. The security guard planned to take Ning Yichu away with the idea that it would rather kill the innocent than let the innocent go.
Ning Yichu stared at Andy with his cold and sharp eyes. Well, since she has the final say here, let's go meet the organizer.
She just doesn't believe that something she hasn't done can be pinned on her?
However, just when the bodyguard was about to take Ning Yichu away, a cold and arrogant voice suddenly broke through the air, so sharp that it seemed to pierce through the air.
"I wonder who dares to touch her——"
Hearing the sound, I saw a tall and straight figure slowly walking out from behind the crowd.
He was wearing a royal blue, handmade custom suit and a burgundy tie. His face had sharp, cold lines, his black eyes were bottomless like the abyss, his lips were pursed into a straight line, and his gaze was like that of a Shura from hell, freezing cold.
He strode forward with an arrogant and unruly demeanor, yet he also had enough capital.
Special Assistant Xu and a group of black-clad bodyguards followed closely behind, their eyes looking aggressive.
Everyone at the scene was startled and fell silent instantly.
After many days, when Ning Yichu saw this man again, her eyelashes trembled slightly and her breathing seemed to stop.
Sure enough, she was right, Li Lingyang really came to Reykjavík!!
Many strange things have happened these days, all caused by him...
Fan Yuke, I was cheated!!
Although Andy does not hold a high position here, he knows that Li Lingyang is the mysterious sponsor of this exhibition!
Even his tone of voice became more respectful. "Boss Li, this woman stole ice jadeite from the exhibition and was caught red-handed. The security guards are planning to arrest her. We've asked Mr. William to come and handle it..."
Meeting Li Lingyang's slightly gloomy eyes, Ning Yichu felt inexplicably embarrassed.
"I didn't," she retorted coldly. "I brought the icy jadeite they found myself, but the person in charge didn't even bother to check and just let me take the blame. She's the one with the most problems, right?"
Andy's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly ordered the security guard, "Why don't you drag this thief away quickly? Otherwise, we'll offend Mr. Li..."
But before the security guards could get close to Ning Yichu, they were stopped by Special Assistant Xu and his group.
Li Lingyang pursed his thin lips into a straight line, with a hint of coldness in his eyes as he glared at Andy.
Andy was unable to move, his face grim. "Boss Li... what are you doing?"
"Didn't you hear what Master Ning the Jade Carver said, that there's something else behind this matter?" Li Lingyang's eyes were like cold ponds, full of sharpness, and it was obvious that he wanted to protect Ning Yichu.
Andy took a deep breath. "Mr. Li actually knows Miss Ning? We've already figured out the whole story!"
Li Lingyang's expression froze. "Are you sure? As far as I know, this piece of icy rough stone on display was borrowed anonymously, and the lender was Miss Ning."
What?
Was this raw stone borrowed by Ning Yichu?
Everyone in the audience, including Ning Yichu, was shocked.
Although Ning Yichu has achieved some success, he is just a jade carver after all. How could he afford to buy a mine?
Andy was obviously unhappy. "Boss Li, even if you are protecting Master Ning, you should at least be realistic, right?"
Li Lingyang glanced at him coldly and said slowly, "If I remember correctly, this icy jadeite raw stone originates from the Addis Ababa mine in Ethiopia, Africa..."
That’s right!
The Addis Ababa mine is very famous for producing fine jade, the most famous of which is the icy jadeite...
Andy and the others at the scene were puzzled, "And then?"
"That mine... belongs to Ning Yichu!!"
