Chapter 77 It's all my fault. Don't quarrel with Brother Jingrun
Jiang Zhiyue didn't want to get entangled with them any longer, so she shook off Lin Xian'er's hand and left.
Lin Xian'er's disgust for her could not be eliminated by explanation or refutation. Even if she left Wharton, Lin Xian'er would not let her go.
Under this unequal status, no matter what she does, Lin Xian'er will never be satisfied.
"Zhiyue, why are you so fast?" Zuo Qing asked with concern.
Jiang Zhiyue curled her lips, "It's getting late, don't waste time, go home quickly."
Zuo Qing nodded and praised her for her good waltz dancing.
Jiang Zhiyue had just come downstairs when she heard these words. Her face suddenly changed and she suddenly realized that she had made a fatal mistake. Given how much Lin Xian'er and Xia Liqing hated her, they would not let her off with just a few sarcastic remarks.
"What's wrong? Zhiyue." Zuo Qing asked puzzledly.
Jiang Zhiyue quickly opened her shoulder bag, which contained some tissues, keys, and some note pads.
Just as she was about to empty her bag, she heard footsteps approaching. A security guard in uniform said in a serious tone, "From now on, no one can leave."
"You are the special recruits, right? The party hasn't ended yet, but you didn't go out the main gate and sneaked in here. You are the most suspicious."
"Uncle, what do you mean?" Zuo Qing had a bad feeling.
Jiang Zhiyue understood what was going on almost immediately. She was mentally prepared as the security guard's sharp eyes were watching her every move.
The bright auditorium was filled with noisy sounds.
The school chairman said solemnly, "How is this possible? The school's security measures have always been very good, and there has never been a case of property being lost. Tonight's party, only those with a permit are allowed to enter. How could something be lost?"
"Miss Bai, don't worry for now," he comforted her.
Bai Yanzhu's eyes flashed with anxiety, and her delicately made-up face looked extremely painful at the moment, "School Director, that's the engagement ring between Ah Si and me. It means a lot to me. What should I do?"
During the intermission, she just went upstairs to change into a dress. She took off her ring and forgot to take it with her. When she went back to get it, the ring was gone.
As everyone knows, that engagement ring caused a sensation in the circle back then.
It was the Qin family that bought the rare and out-of-print diamond ring at the Sumida auction for an eight-figure sum. It was known as the Mirror of Heaven, a treasure among treasures.
She was used to wearing it on her wrist when attending banquets, and it had never been stolen before, but this time...
Bai Yanzhu is beautiful, with soft golden hair draped behind her, giving people a gentle and elegant feeling.
Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her beautiful eyes were covered with a layer of watery color, which made people feel loving and pity.
There were many students who stood up for her, "Oh my god, how could there be a theft in the public school? Who is so bold as to steal Yanzhu's things? Don't they know that it is the token of love between Yanzhu and Mr. Qin?"
"I saw Yeon Joo wearing the ring before, and she was fine when she took it off to change clothes. How come she lost it this time?"
"School Director, please make sure to guard every exit and don't let the thief get away. The person who could steal something from Yeon-joo must be someone at this party."
The ring was worth tens of millions. According to the laws of Brandenburg, once the thief was caught, not to mention life imprisonment, if the nobleman insisted on not forgiving the thief, he would be executed silently.
Who dares to steal their things? The precious jewelry they wear when traveling, others would just stay away for fear of getting into trouble.
What's more, this is the capital - Monte State, the area with the lowest crime rate, with strict laws binding everyone. Monte State is under the jurisdiction of the Xiao family.
This kind of thing happened in the presence of Xiao Jingrun. Does this thief not take Xiao Jingrun seriously, or... ?
The school chairman had seen all kinds of storms, so the first thing he did was to block the exits, check the surveillance, and let everyone stay in the auditorium for the time being. He didn't dare to doubt these guests, but this was the best solution at the moment.
"Miss Bai, do you think this is okay?" He said, "I have a guest list here. We can check the people on the list one by one, including tonight's staff."
Bai Yanzhu bit her lip tightly, a barely perceptible hint of obscurity flashed across her eyes, she clenched her fingers tightly, and nodded gently, "It's the only way."
"A Si, the ring you gave me..." She raised her head and looked at Qin Si who was sitting on the sofa. She seemed to want to say something, but hesitated.
Qin Si had a blank expression on his face, and his cold eyes showed no emotion at all. He leaned against the sofa, looking down on everyone with the attitude of a superior.
Under his gaze, everyone felt an invisible pressure, and a few timid girls didn't even dare to look up at him.
His eyes fell on Xiao Jingrun, the protagonist of the night.
There were two followers standing beside the man. They leaned over and whispered something to Xiao Jingrun. Qin Si stared at him and said coldly, "This thing was lost here. This is your territory. You'd better give me an explanation."
Xiao Jingrun stood on the steps, his eyes hidden behind the lenses flashing a cold light, and he instructed his followers: "The nearby surveillance cameras may have been tampered with, go and adjust the backup surveillance."
Qin Si curled his lips in ridicule and looked at him, "It's just a mere 50 million, it's nothing to Young Master Xiao."
The two people were at loggerheads again, and the atmosphere was full of tension.
This was not what Bai Yanzhu wanted to see, so she hurried to the man and was about to take Qin Si's arm to persuade him, but she saw that he had a look of keeping strangers away, leaning on the sofa with coldness and arrogance.
Bai Yanzhu saw that the man's leather shoes were stained with sparkling light like sequins. It seemed to be the decoration on Jiang Zhiyue's dress...
A hint of suspicion flashed across her eyes, and she clenched her palms. When she looked at Qin Si, her tone was still gentle, "Ah Si, it's all my fault. Don't quarrel with Brother Jingrun."
"Mr. Xiao, do you mind helping us find the thief? That will also allow us to see the capabilities of the Xiao family's heir." Qin Si did not give in, and a hint of sarcasm could be seen in his cold voice.
Things developed better than Lin Xian'er had imagined. Several special recruits came to the hall one after another at the urging of the security guards. She winked at Xia Liqing.
Xia Liqing exclaimed in surprise: "Ah! I finally understand why the theft happened. It turns out that someone who shouldn't have been there showed up at the party tonight!"
She pointed forward, and everyone's eyes turned to the special admissions students.
At that moment, Jiang Zhiyue, standing in the crowd, attracted much attention.
