At this moment, the scrolling comments in the live stream have disappeared.
For a long while, no one chimed in, as if everyone felt that the situation might take a turn for the better.
Fearing they might be proven wrong later, netizens remained calm and decided to wait and see before deciding who to criticize.
Nie Siqi panicked completely. She had torn a necklace worth tens of millions of yuan. Even if she sold herself, she wouldn't be able to come up with that much money to compensate.
"I didn't know... I didn't know this necklace would be so expensive, I really didn't mean it! Waaah..."
Bai Qianmo glanced at Nie Siqi, her eyes filled with amusement: "Mr. Ross, how much would it cost to repair this necklace?"
Ross sighed helplessly, "Because this necklace was made by Mr. Arthur himself, it is difficult for others to have the repair skills. Therefore, the cost of returning it to headquarters for repair will probably be as high as 800,000 US dollars. Miss Nie should prepare herself mentally."
Nie Siqi was so frightened that her face turned deathly pale, and she bit her lip, looking annoyed.
Han Yaxin was also a little flustered, but with so many people in front of her, she felt she couldn't let Bai Qianmo have a chance to turn things around.
Just as Han Yaxin was anxiously thinking of a solution, Bai Xiruo pretended to be puzzled and said, "Shouldn't we be discussing who kidnapped Sister Siqi now? No matter how expensive this necklace is, it can't prove that Lei Zi is lying. After all, Qianmo and Lei Zi's WeChat chat content is real. Qianmo, if you really didn't let Lei Zi kidnap Sister Siqi, you still need to think of some more sufficient evidence."
Bai Xiruo's words caused the onlookers who had initially doubted Lei Zi to turn against him again.
"Yeah, how do you explain Lei Zi and Bai Qianmo's WeChat chat? Did someone hold a knife to Bai Qianmo's throat and force her to say those things?"
“Bai Qianmo is clearly suspicious. Even if Lei Zi lies and says that he gave the necklace to Bai Qianmo, it doesn’t clear Bai Qianmo of suspicion.”
Han Yaxin cried as she addressed the leading police officer, "My daughter is still a pure and innocent young woman, and she was almost persecuted by that vicious bitch Bai Qianmo. Officers, you must do justice for my daughter!"
After a moment of silence, the police officer asked Bai Qianmo, "Ms. Bai, do you currently have any evidence to prove your innocence?"
As an experienced criminal investigator, I subjectively judged that the girl in front of me was too calm, and her face did not show a trace of panic from beginning to end.
Moreover, while the expensive necklace couldn't clear her name, it could prove that Lei Zi was lying.
Bai Qianmo took out her phone and glanced at it, a faint smile curving her crimson lips.
"The witness has arrived!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people walked in from outside the banquet hall.
The man at the head of the group was tall and imposing, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, taking a swaggering puff.
"Wow, it's really lively here."
"Master Gou?" someone in the crowd exclaimed.
While everyone was wondering why Gou Si had suddenly appeared, Gou Si led his gang of brothers and walked up to Bai Qianmo in a grand procession.
"Little Mo, I'm not late, am I?"
"I'm five minutes late."
Gou Si's cold lips suddenly curled up, and he squinted and chuckled.
"Sorry, I was delayed on the way to prepare a gift for the old man."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and the man in the floral shirt behind him immediately presented a brocade box to Gou Si with utmost respect.
Gou Si picked up the gift, his sharp edge softening slightly, and walked up to Old Bai: "I wish you good health and longevity, sir. This is a small token of my appreciation, and I hope you will accept it."
Old Bai glanced at Gou Si with his wise gaze, then looked at Bai Qianmo beside him.
"Master Gou has never had any dealings with our Bai family before, so why has he suddenly come to wish this old man a happy birthday?"
Gou Si is an absolute legend in the capital. He suddenly rose to prominence in the capital ten years ago, his business grew bigger and bigger, and he also controlled a powerful underground force. No one knows Gou Si’s origins. He appeared overnight and rose rapidly. In just ten years, he built a business empire that rivaled Wansheng Group!
"To be honest, I came here today for my sister Qianmo."
Old Bai frowned and looked at his granddaughter with a puzzled expression.
She sighed inwardly. This girl really knew all sorts of people. Gou Si, such a dangerous person, was actually on friendly terms with her.
Although he didn't want to get too close to someone like Gou Si, Gou Si had come to wish him a happy birthday and had even prepared a birthday gift. Moreover, Gou Si was there as a friend of Qian Mo, so he naturally couldn't refuse him.
"Then I thank Master Gou here." Old Bai reached out and took the gift, then turned and handed it to Bai Kangcheng behind him.
After giving the gift, Gou Si returned to Bai Qianmo's side.
The man, who exuded a chilling and murderous aura, was actually chatting and laughing in front of Bai Qianmo.
To onlookers, the scene appeared extremely bizarre.
"Just what is Bai Qianmo's background? First there was a calligraphy master like Tian Bingsen, and now there's a business tycoon. How come these people are willing to give face to a little girl?"
"That's right, Bai Qianmo is just a mystery."
Bai Qianmo asked in a low voice, "Fourth Brother, have you brought the person?"
Gou Si chuckled and said to the man in the floral shirt beside him, "Bring the man up."
"yes!"
The man in the floral shirt made a phone call, and a short while later, several of his men brought a middle-aged man into view.
Upon seeing the man, Lei Zi's previously calm face immediately showed a hint of panic.
The police officer asked Bai Qianmo with suspicion, "Who is this person?"
