Yin Han was utterly shocked the moment Nan Sheng arrived.
Is she helping him? Doesn't she like Lu Zhicheng?
What shocked Yin Han was that Nan Sheng already knew he had a necklace in his hand. When she came over and took his hand to interlock their fingers, his fist loosened subconsciously, and the necklace ended up in Nan Sheng's hand.
Yin Han frowned, and subconsciously spoke, "Miss Nan..."
Just as he was about to say something, Nan Sheng gave him a look, and Yin Han shut his mouth.
"Okay," Liu Rushuang agreed.
Nan Sheng then turned her gaze to Lu Zhicheng: "And you?"
"No, Sheng Sheng, I don't know anything..."
"If Yin Han doesn't have the necklace, you should apologize," Nan Sheng repeated, her tone even more forceful than before.
Seeing this, Lu Yuansheng spoke first, saying, "It's okay, it's fine to apologize now, Shengsheng, don't be angry."
Nan Lingtian raised an eyebrow, looked around, and seemed to understand something. His anger rose a few degrees.
"Then let's do as Lu Zhicheng said and search them." Nan Lingtian spoke up appropriately, then called over two servants, a man and a woman, for convenience.
Almost everyone present was pampered by their families and their families were not poor. They came to a birthday party, but there were people stealing things, and even those who did not commit the crime were searched. They could not bear such humiliation, but because it was at the Nan family's house, they could only suppress their anger. However, they disliked Lu Zhicheng and Liu Rushuang.
“You can search me first. I really don’t have a necklace on me. I didn’t mean to slander anyone. I’m just telling the truth. Who was closest to me just now?” Liu Rushuang stepped forward first.
Nan Sheng snorted coldly. How come she hadn't noticed how stupid Liu Rushuang was before? And Lu Zhicheng too. If she had known, she wouldn't have believed him when he said he invited these classmates.
Liu Rushuang appeared completely open and honest, which actually made people feel somewhat trustworthy.
While everyone present was waiting to be searched and their eyes were all on Liu Rushuang who was being searched, Nan Sheng hooked her fingertip around Yin Han's.
Sensing her subtle movements, Yin Han lowered his head to look at her.
Nan Sheng didn't speak, but looked at Lu Zhicheng not far away, then looked at her own hand, and waved it as if to make a gesture. Yin Han immediately understood what she meant.
Yin Han was stunned because Nan Sheng had been ignoring him for so long. He didn't react for a moment, and his eyes reddened.
She wanted to throw the necklace next to Lu Zhicheng.
Even though the two hadn't been close for so long, Yin Han could still tell what Nan Sheng meant at a glance.
Seeing that he didn't react, Nan Sheng didn't hook his fingertips this time, but instead squeezed his hand with her other hand, signaling him to hurry up.
Yin Han temporarily suppressed his inner grievances and took a step forward, while Nan Sheng also slightly distanced herself from him.
The next second, Yin Han put his hands in his pockets and slightly opened his coat, so that he covered a larger area.
Nan Sheng glanced at Lu Zhicheng, who was two or three people away, clenched the necklace in her hand, threw it forcefully, and then put it back.
Yin Han also stood back next to Nan Sheng, pretending that nothing had happened.
Little did they know, Yang Silin, who was not far from them, also noticed this scene, but she remained silent.
Lu Zhicheng was so focused on speeding up the body search that he didn't notice the two men's actions.
So when they were searching for the third person, he spoke up and said he would search for his first.
He had just taken his first step out of the crowd when someone suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't that a necklace?!"
Instantly, everyone's eyes followed the sound.
Sure enough, behind the spot where Lu Zhicheng had just left, there was a sparkling diamond necklace on the lawn.
"Liu Rushuang, is that your necklace?!" Nan Sheng walked over.
Completely bewildered, Liu Rushuang didn't react at first. She glanced at Lu Zhicheng and saw that he was also clueless. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk over.
When she saw that the necklace on the ground was indeed hers, her mind was in turmoil. Shouldn't it be in Yin Han's pocket?!
"Yes... this really is my necklace. How did it end up here? I didn't even come here just now." Liu Rushuang picked up the necklace, pretending she knew nothing.
Little did she know that her last sentence had already dragged Lu Zhicheng into the mess.
Nan Sheng smiled, a sly glint in her eyes, and put her hands behind her back: "It's strange that you didn't come here. This was the spot where Lu Zhicheng was standing just now. Lu Zhicheng was about to search you a second ago, and the necklace was on the ground the next second. Could it be that Lu Zhicheng stole it?"
Nan Lingtian chuckled as he listened to his beloved daughter's words. He exchanged a glance with Yang Silin, completely relieved, and let them handle the situation.
The Su family also sat down.
"How could that be! Why would I take her necklace? It's not like I can't afford it." Lu Zhicheng's face turned ashen. Damn it, he didn't know how the necklace got there either.
"So our Yin Han can't afford it? He's the heir to the Nan Corporation, which my dad decided long ago. Do you think he'd be short of money for a necklace like this?"
Nan Sheng stood in front of Yin Han and her domineering words shocked everyone present.
Nan Lingtian and Yang Silin were alright, but Yin Han, who was standing behind Nan Sheng, had bloodshot eyes, heavy breathing, and his body stiffened at that moment.
The Nan family's status in Nancheng is unquestionable; they are a leading enterprise with an economy that most ordinary wealthy families can only dream of, let alone a necklace.
It's not a problem for people to buy necklaces in bulk.
Lu Zhicheng didn't understand why Nan Sheng suddenly started protecting Yin Han, especially when he heard her say that Yin Han would inherit the Nan family's company in the future, he was driven crazy with jealousy.
"Sheng Sheng, what are you saying, Luckly..."
"Apologize!"
Lu Zhicheng was interrupted by Nan Sheng before he could finish speaking.
Nan Sheng turned around, took Yin Han's hand, and made him stand next to her. Then she said to Liu Rushuang, "Now that your necklace has been found, it has nothing to do with Yin Han. The necklace is also 800 meters away from him. You pointed at Yin Han without knowing anything, so you need to apologize to him."
Nan Sheng's voice was neither too loud nor too soft; everyone present could hear it clearly.
Yin Han, who was being led by Nan Sheng, didn't care about any of that. He held Nan Sheng's hand tightly, moved closer to her, and kept his eyes on her, obediently letting Nan Sheng do whatever she wanted.
That gaze was just like the one when seven-year-old Nan Sheng led eight-year-old Yin Han home, a dreamlike return to those days.
