Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Zhou Shanshan said loudly.
The people around looked at each other, but no one took out their phones to call the police. They didn't want to; this was the Gu Group, and the thief was Mrs. Gu.
"I think it would be better to inform Mr. Gu or Assistant Xu about this matter. Making a big fuss about it will not be good for anyone."
Su Ning said kindly.
To others, it sounded like she was seeking protection from Gu Jingchen and Xu Yi after her theft was exposed.
"Heh." Zhou Shanshan immediately sneered, "Miss Su, it's a fact that you stole something. Do you think Mr. Gu's arrival will erase your crime?"
"With so many of us watching, you can't escape the punishment of the law."
That was a terrifying statement, making Su Ning purse her lips. She replied helplessly, "When do I ever want to have my crime cleared?"
"Call the police."
She smiled, indicating that she didn't care.
Su Ning's attitude left everyone somewhat bewildered. If things really escalated to the police station, Gu Jingchen might not be able to protect her. Her legs were crippled, and her reputation was ruined.
"Can't!"
Qiao Yimo spoke up to stop her, her eyes brimming with tears, clearly aggrieved, yet she managed to project an air of generosity. "I didn't mean to take it, don't call the police."
As she spoke, she reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
In her heart, Qiao Yimo wished the police would come immediately, arrest Su Ning, and make her spend the rest of her life in prison.
“Ms. Qiao, she plagiarized your work before, and now she’s stealing your stuff. How can you not call the police and have her arrested?”
"You're too kind."
Zhou Shanshan said with dissatisfaction, her words revealing Qiao Yimo's grievances and kindness. The onlookers were also moved by Qiao Yimo's tears.
How could Mr. Gu marry a woman with a crippled leg and a scheming mind!
Yes, Mr. Gu was forced to marry Su Ning.
"No, we must call the police," Zhou Shanshan said firmly. Ignoring Qiao Yimo's attempts to stop her, she took out her phone and called the police station.
Qiao Yimo couldn't win against Zhou Shanshan, so she could only watch helplessly as the call to the police was made. She closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face. When she opened her eyes again, she said to Su Ning with a mix of helplessness and sadness, "Sister, no matter how much you hate me, you shouldn't do anything illegal!"
"What should we do now?"
As she spoke, she burst into tears, heartbroken.
Su Ning watched Zhou Shanshan and Qiao Yimo working together. Whether Qiao Yimo stopped them or not, Zhou Shanshan would definitely call the police. However, by stopping them, Qiao Yimo would establish her image as kind and generous, and the people in the company would think that Qiao Yimo and Gu Jingchen were a better match.
That's a brilliant plan to kill two birds with one stone.
Su Ning wasn't in a hurry to explain, nor did she try to beg Zhou Shanshan and Qiao Yimo. She kept her head down, looking very calm.
Qiao Yimo saw that Su Ning was not saying a word and thought she was pretending, waiting for the police to arrive, to see if Su Ning would be scared!
Xu Yi hurriedly knocked on Gu Jingchen's office door, but seeing that Mr. Gu was in a video conference, he went back inside.
"What is it?"
Gu Jingchen called Xu Yi back. From Xu Yi's panicked eyes, he sensed that something had happened in the company, and it was related to Su Ning.
What's wrong with her?
Gu Jingchen asked again, and since the gentleman had guessed, Xu Yi did not hide it any longer.
"Miss Qiao's necklace is missing. They say Madam took it."
"What necklace?" Gu Jingchen frowned, sensing something was amiss when he heard Xu Yi's words.
