If she came out now and admitted that she took the bracelet, she would undoubtedly be shooting herself in the foot.
But she denied it. When the bracelet was found and the fingerprints on it were checked, she still couldn't explain it clearly.
While quickly weighing the pros and cons in her mind, she couldn't help but feel annoyed. Shen Mingzhu, a rural woman, actually knew how to check fingerprints?
After a brief thought, Sun Feifei came up with a plan. "I just remembered that I tried on the bracelet before, and there is a high possibility that my fingerprints were left on it, but I didn't take the bracelet. If you don't believe me, you can search my body and handbag."
Shen Mingzhu sighed, "But I remember that you denied taking the bracelet before, but now you say you tried it on. Your statement is inconsistent and it's hard to convince me."
The receptionist was not stupid. She guessed that this was Sun Feifei's secret doing and she couldn't help but feel very angry.
If anything happened to the bracelet, she would lose her job and almost offend Zhong Qing's friends.
From the day she started working in the store, the manager repeatedly told her that the Zhong family must not be offended.
"Ms. Sun, before calling the police, I repeatedly questioned you, but you insisted that you had never taken the bracelet. You even hinted that it was taken by Miss Shen, and asked me to search Miss Shen's bag. Did you know in advance that the bracelet was in Miss Shen's bag?"
Shen Mingzhu praised the receptionist for her insight.
The police also began to suspect Sun Feifei. "Ms. Sun, if you know the whereabouts of the bracelet, it's best to tell us now. There is still room for recovery. If we wait until we find it, it will be a serious matter."
Facing the sharp eyes of the police and the strange looks from the people around her, Sun Feifei knew that she had messed up again today.
But she tried to save face by force, "When I tried on the bracelet, I felt a little uncomfortable in my stomach, so I put the bracelet on the sofa and went to the bathroom. Maybe the bracelet fell into the gap of the sofa. I went in to look for it."
After saying that, Sun Feifei turned around and ran into the exhibition hall, wanting to take out the bracelet hidden in Shen Mingzhu's handbag before the police came in.
Shen Mingzhu's handbag had several inner pockets, and Sun Feifei was in a panic and couldn't help but fumble around. She searched two of them but couldn't find the bag where the bracelet was hidden.
Behind her, two police officers, Shen Mingzhu, Zhong Qing, and Junlin staff came in one after another.
"You're looking for the bracelet, what are you doing with my bag?"
Hearing Shen Mingzhu's joking question behind her, Sun Feifei froze.
She turned her head, sweating all over, and tried to justify her behavior, but she stammered and couldn't make any sense.
A policeman took the bag from her hand and took out the lost icy green jade bracelet from it.
"The bag is mine, but I don't know how the bracelet got in my bag." Shen Mingzhu glanced at Sun Feifei, whose face was as pale as paper, and sneered, "Check for fingerprints and see which unscrupulous person actually used such a despicable method to frame me."
"Oh, by the way, comrade from the Public Security Bureau, framing someone up means you're going to be held criminally responsible and sentenced to jail, right?"
"Shen Mingzhu!"
Sun Feifei was frightened by the thought of going to jail.
She was staggering, her face and eyes full of pleading, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to play a joke on you..."
Shen Mingzhu smiled, "Then you admit that you framed me and deliberately put the jade bracelet in my bag?"
Sun Feifei hurriedly said: "I can apologize to you..."
"Sun Feifei, you don't have a good memory. I told you before, apologies are useful, so what do we need the police for?"
Shen Mingzhu walked up to the man, her almond eyes as cold as snow, "Nothing can happen again. It seems that the last incident did not teach you a lesson. So this time, you should go to prison and reflect on yourself and reform yourself."
Sun Feifei said angrily, "Shen Mingzhu, you won't show any mercy at all?"
"There is no mercy between me and you."
After saying that, he turned to the two police officers and said, "Comrades, the matter is very clear. It was Sun Feifei who framed me. I hope you can handle it according to the law and give me justice."
With solid evidence from witnesses and objects, the police prepared to take Sun Feifei back to the station.
Sun Feifei was completely panicked. She kneeled down in front of Shen Mingzhu in public without hesitation, and said with tears streaming down her face: "Shen Mingzhu, I beg you to let me go this time. I promise that I will never embarrass you again in the future."
Shen Mingzhu looked down at him with a blank expression, "You can't say this to me, go to the police station and talk to the case officer."
Seeing that Shen Mingzhu really didn't intend to let her go, the panic in Sun Feifei's eyes gradually turned into resentment.
"Leave a way for others so that we can meet again in the future! You have done something so extreme, aren't you afraid of being retaliated against in the future?"
"What about the future? I don't want to see you right now. It's disgusting to see you for one more second."
As he was speaking, a woman in her forties, dressed neatly and capablely, walked into the exhibition hall.
The staff at Junlin calls him "Store Manager".

"What happened?" The store manager frowned slightly as he watched the farce in the showroom.
An old clerk whispered the whole story to her.
Sun Feifei looked at the store manager with hope in her eyes. The last time she and a client's wife came here, it was the store manager who personally received them.
"Manager Yu, do you remember me? I'm Mrs. Qi's niece. We met last time."
Manager Yu stared at her for two seconds to identify her. "Your last name is Sun, Miss Sun, right?"
"Yes, it's me!"
Sun Feifei was like grabbing a life-saving straw, and hurriedly excused her behavior, "I know her, I was just joking, can you help me speak a few words for her since Mrs. Qi is a regular customer of your store?"
“I see…”
Manager Yu hesitated for a moment, then turned to the clerk who was managing the customer list and ordered, "Remove Mrs. Qi's membership immediately."
Facing Sun Feifei's incredulous eyes, Manager Yu smiled slightly, "Well, now Mrs. Qi is no longer a customer of our store. As for you, you will be put on Junlin's blacklist and will never be allowed to set foot in the store."
Not only that, Manager Yu also took back the cheongsam that Sun Feifei had previously ordered.
Sun Feifei deserved it. The moment she was taken away by the police, her pair of red eyes stared at Shen Mingzhu with despair and hatred.
You deserve it!
After successfully clearing her name and punishing Sun Feifei, Shen Mingzhu thought the matter was over, but she didn't expect there would be an unexpected surprise.
"Ms. Shen, I'm sorry that our staff has caused you unnecessary trouble due to their negligence. As compensation and apology, Junlin will give you a custom-made cheongsam for free. Please go with the staff to measure the size and choose the style."
"How can I be so embarrassed..."
Shen Mingzhu said sorry, but her body was honest as she followed the clerk towards the measurement room.
Only a fool would not want a cheongsam given for free.
