"Mrs. San likes orchids, especially emerald orchids, right?"
This is not a secret, Yan Zhong nodded, motioning Shen Mingzhu to continue.
"The emerald orchid on the coffee table in the VIP room has a beautiful shape and crystal clear petals. It is as beautiful as a work of art. Even an amateur like me is delighted by it. As an orchid lover, the third wife was willing to burn it with a cigarette butt."
Orchids are delicate and extremely difficult to care for. Even if cigarette butts do not cause damage to them, most people would not do such a thing.
Unless, "…there are more precious things than this emerald orchid that the Third Wife is concerned about, so she doesn't care about the life or death of the orchid."
He paused, "After thinking about it, the only thing more valuable than the Jade Orchid is the diamond that disappeared out of thin air. Suppose Mrs. Wu hid the diamond in the soil of the potted plant while Manager Tang wasn't paying attention, and Mrs. San took the diamond away while the cigarette was extinguished. Wouldn't that be perfect?"
"Nonsense! This is just her one-sided statement and it is totally unreliable!" Mrs. Wu shouted excitedly.
Yan Zhong signaled the bodyguard to keep Mrs. Wu under control and not to make any noise, and then asked Manager Tang, "Did Mrs. Wu touch the orchid on the coffee table?"
Manager Tang thought about it and nodded.
Immediately, Yan Zhong asked Manager Tang to bring the bodyguards to the VIP room to bring Lanhua down, while he himself walked up to the third wife.
"Third Madam, I'm sorry, please give me your bag."
The third wife threw the bag to Yan Zhong with an unpleasant look on her face, then turned around and glared at Shen Mingzhu viciously: "If you don't find something in my bag today, I won't let you go!"
Shen Mingzhu stood silently behind Li Shiman: Rich sister, please protect me.
Li Shiman pinched her palm angrily and amusedly: Don't worry, no one can touch you while I am here.
Soon, Manager Tang brought down the light blue emerald orchid, and all the items in the Third Wife's bag were placed on the table one by one.
Yan Zhong checked it personally, leaving out every single one.
Everyone held their breath and didn't blink, for fear of missing out on the excitement.
At this time, the entire first floor lobby of the jewelry store had been cleared out, and only their own people remained, so they were not afraid of exposing their family's dirty laundry to the public.
Five minutes later.
Yan Zhong put down the object in his hand, turned around and looked at Shen Mingzhu, "Unfortunately, your speculation is wrong. Neither the Jade Orchid nor the Third Wife's bag has the lost diamond been found."
The Third Wife seemed to have won a battle, and she couldn't stop showing pride on her face: "Fourth Brother, she is yours, what do you say?"
Li Shiman was about to speak when she caught a glimpse of Shen Mingzhu making some movements.
After seeing Shen Mingzhu's actions clearly, he was so shocked that he almost screamed.
"What do you want to do! Stop her!"
The third wife pointed at Shen Mingzhu and shouted in confusion.
Before the bodyguards around could make any move, Shen Mingzhu said, "Don't be nervous, I just want to perform a magic trick for everyone."
As if he was sure that Shen Mingzhu would not be able to cause any trouble, Yan Zhong raised his hand and signaled the bodyguards to retreat.
Without any obstruction, Shen Mingzhu held up the heavy crystal ornament, walked to the table where Feicui Lan and the Third Madam's personal belongings were placed, and smashed the pebble pendant on the key chain.
"Bang!"
The pebble, the size of a pigeon egg, broke into two pieces, and a teardrop-shaped blue diamond the size of a fingernail rolled out.
"Look, what is that!?"
"It's like a diamond, a lost tear of the ocean!"
"So it really is the Third Wife..."
"Hush, do you want to die?"
The employees who were talking fell silent, but their eyes turned to the Third Wife with surprise, contempt and confusion.
He was so rich but still stole things, and even stole from his own home, and was caught red-handed.
“Found it.”
Shen Mingzhu pointed at the blue diamond that fell out of the pebbles, but did not touch it.
In fact, from the time she first testified against the Third Wife to the time she smashed the cobblestones, she had not had any contact with the cobblestones, in order to prevent the other party from accusing her of framing her.
Shen Mingzhu smiled politely at the silent Yan Zhong and returned the crystal ornament with a dent in it with both hands.
"I'm sorry for damaging the store's furnishings. You're a big family with a lot of money, so you won't ask me to pay for it, right?"
Yan Zhong took the ornament speechlessly, handed it to the bodyguard, and then signaled Manager Tang to take the diamond for testing.
The crowd was shocked.
The third wife’s face was pale and she took several steps back as if she could not stand. Fortunately, someone caught her and she did not fall.
Mrs. Wu's face was ashen and she collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud.
She shouldn't have been so obsessed with money. Now it's all over, she's dead!
"It was the Third Madam! It was the Third Madam who told me to do it. It has nothing to do with me. I dare not disobey her."
In an instant, Mrs. Wu made the decision to sell out her master to protect herself.
The third wife glared at Mrs. Wu with a sneer in her eyes, but she was too lazy to defend herself.
The people are dirty and captured, and any struggle is in vain.

"The Fourth Master ordered me to bring Third Madam and Wu Madam back to the old house and deal with them after the investigation is complete."
"I see."
Yan Zhong looked around and said with a smile, "Fourth Madam has made a good friend this time."
When Li Shiman heard Yan Zhong mention Shen Mingzhu, she noticed that there was no one beside her, and there was no trace of Shen Mingzhu.
"Where's Mingzhu?"
"Fourth Madam, your friend left with her husband. I asked you to let me know."
Hearing that Shen Mingzhu was following Pei Yang, Li Shiman immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Zhong laughed, "He is a smart man. He knew he was in trouble and ran away quickly."
Of course Shen Mingzhu had to run. She was not stupid. She had poked such a big hole. Would she not run and wait to be punished? Not only did she have to run, but she also had to run fast.
"Pack your bags as soon as you get back and leave immediately!"
Hearing her say this, Pei Yang couldn't help but be surprised: "So urgent? We bought the boat tickets for tomorrow night."
"No, I'll buy another one later, and buy the fastest one."
After saying that, he briefly recounted what happened in the jewelry store.
Pei Yang became upset when he learned that she had offended the top tycoon in Australia City.
Seeing that he was silent, Shen Mingzhu teased: "Are you scared?"
Pei Yang pulled her into his arms, hugged her tightly and said, "I'm not afraid of shit. It's worth dying for us to be together."
Shen Mingzhu smiled, "I don't want to die. I want to live a few more years."
If you had a short life in your previous life, it doesn’t make sense that you would have a short life in this life as well.
Pei Yang kissed her forehead and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm here. Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up."
Shen Mingzhu was not actually afraid. She believed that Li Shiman would not ignore her. She left early just in case.
After arriving at the hotel, Pei Yang first called an old friend of Pei Ke who was engaged in ticket reselling and asked for four boat tickets that would leave the port in an hour.
After buying the tickets, he asked Shen Mingzhu to stay in the room to pack while he went out to look for Zhou Shuhuan and Qiao Ya.
I was lucky enough to meet two people as soon as I went downstairs.
The two had just come back from shopping, carrying lots of bags, and looked very happy.
"Shuhuan, there's no time left. Go upstairs and pack your luggage. We'll leave soon!"
The two were pulled into the elevator by Pei Yang with confused faces, "Brother Yang, what happened?"
Pei Yang didn't bother to explain the reason in detail. He just told the two that Shen Mingzhu was in big trouble and they had to leave Aocheng immediately to avoid disaster.
Hearing this, Zhou Shuhuan and Qiao Ya looked at each other in surprise.
After getting upstairs, Qiao Ya did not go back to her room to clean up immediately. Instead, she ran to Shen Mingzhu's room to inquire about gossip.
