Shang Ruoyi's words almost made Manager Lin fall to his knees.
Li Xia Xia understood a little: "Theft? In Beiling, a thief must have his hands chopped off and have his face tattooed so that everyone knows he is a thief."
Shang Ruoyi's eyes fell on Manager Lin with a smile: "Manager Lin, can you hear me clearly?"
Manager Lin's legs trembled, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, holding his head and kowtowed: "I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, it was my negligence!"
"And bring me the Dongzhu that you hid?"
Manager Lin's body trembled a little, and he quickly took out the Dongzhu hidden in his arms.
Li Xia Xia frowned and said, "Manager Lin, do you know what the punishment for such behavior is in our Li family?"
They all owed death contracts to the Li family. For this kind of people, the master had the power to decide their life and death.
If someone steals the Dongzhu, not only will his hands be cut off, but he will also be severely beaten with a stick. This beating will surely break bones and tendons, and he will die.
"Miss, when I saw such a good pearl, I wanted to send it to your house, not to keep it for myself. Please understand." He knelt on the bed and kowtowed: "Miss, I have been in the Li family for dozens of years, working diligently and conscientiously, and have never embezzled the pearl. You know all this!"
Li Xia Xia frowned slightly. She had just started to take over the family business and didn't know how to restrain herself.
Shang Ruoyi said coldly: "Don't think twice before you lie. I just said for so long that the quality of this Dongzhu is good. Since you said that this Dongzhu was going to be sent to the mansion, why didn't you bring it here just now?"
"Oh, why didn't you bring it just now?"
Manager Lin rolled his eyes and lowered his head and said, "Little boy, my mind was confused just now and I forgot such an important thing. Please punish me."
How is it possible to just cover it up so easily?
Shang Ruoyi took the Dongzhu from his hand and whispered, "I remember my grandfather once said that every Dongzhu oyster taken from the pond will be registered in the book, and the time when it was taken and by whom will be clearly written on it." He looked at Manager Lin with a smile and said, "Since it is going to be delivered to the mansion, I am sure Manager Lin will register it in the book."
Manager Lin didn't expect her to be so serious. His heart tightened and he secretly said "Okay".
When he took the booklet, there was no record of the Dongzhu in his hand.
"Now, what else do you have to say?"
"Little boy, little boy, you just forgot." He wanted to continue to quibble, but Shang Ruoyi didn't give him the chance.
Seeing Guanzi crying, she snorted coldly: "Since you said you were negligent this time, I believe you, but as a manager, you did things without any loopholes. You are not qualified for the position of manager. Also, since you said you have never embezzled Dongzhu, then just search it." She clearly saw Manager Lin's body shaking.
Li Xia Xia also nodded: "That's exactly what I meant." She waved her hand, and several servants came forward.
"Manager Li's room must be searched thoroughly, leaving no corner untouched."
"yes!"
A few people took the order and left.
At this time, Manager Lin's legs were limp, but he still stood steadily.
Not long after, a servant came over with a box in his hand: "Miss, Master, this box is locked. I have tried many ways but failed to open it."
Li Xia Xia took the box, and past memories came to her mind.
This, this is the mechanism box that her mother once taught her.
"How did this box end up in your hands?"
When Manager Lin saw that the box had not been opened, he wanted to make a final attempt. He whispered, "It was given to me by the patriarch."
A reward from daddy?
Daddy actually gave mother's things to 떘그 so casually.
Li Xia Xia's eyes showed coldness. She stretched out her hand and pressed a few times on the box. She saw that the mechanism box seemed to be alive and moved on its own.
After several changes, there was a "pop" sound, and the mechanism box opened. Inside the box, several round and huge oriental pearls appeared before everyone's eyes.
hiss!
Such a big Dongzhu can be weighed with silver.
Li Xia Xia shouted coldly: "Manager Lin, now the evidence is irrefutable, what else do you have to say?"
Manager Lin knew the situation was hopeless and collapsed to the ground, with cold sweat pouring down his head.
"Little 그, little 그······"
"I want to hear your excuses today, come on!" Li Xia Xia said coldly, "Take Manager Lin away, cut off his hands and give him a heavy beating as a warning to others!"
"Miss! Miss! I know I'm wrong! I'll never dare to offend you again!" He waved away the guards who were dragging him away, crawled to Li Xia Xia, and kowtowed: "Miss, I know I'm wrong. Please forgive me this time because I've worked so hard for the Li family!"
"Manager Lin, we trust you so much and let you manage the most important business of the Li family, but you are so selfish. If this is the case, there is no need to say anything more. You must pay the price for your actions."
She waved her hand, and the guards stepped forward again, trying to drag her away.
At this time, Manager Lin said loudly: "Miss, I know, I know the cause of my husband's death."
Li Xia Xia was stunned: "What did you say?"
"My husband didn't die of illness, but was poisoned by Kim."
It is true.
Shang Ruoyi lowered her eyebrows. There were so many dirty things happening in this wealthy family.
"Go and tell me." Li Xia Xia clenched her fists: "Go and tell me now!"
Manager Lin's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a sudden sound of breaking air. Before everyone could react, a cold arrow flew towards Li Xia Xia.
Shang Ruoyi pulled Li Xia Xia over. At this moment, there was a "puff" sound, and another arrow shot Manager Lin directly through.
Shang Ruoyi narrowed her eyes slightly. It seemed that the initial target was Manager Lin.
Ah Cheng looked in the direction where the arrow came from.
Li Xia Xia stood up with lingering fear, looking at the dead Manager Lin, trembling with fear. If it was Sister Shang who saved her just now, her situation would certainly be no different from Manager Lin's.
Jin, it must be Jin.
Not only did she kill her mother, she also wanted to kill herself!
At this time, Ah Cheng came back and said, "Sir, I didn't find it."
Shang Ruoyi knew this would happen. The killer who could shoot her to death right under her nose must be an ordinary person.
When she returned home, Li Xia Xia felt particularly uneasy, as if someone was always following her. Moreover, the image of Manager Lin dying with his eyes closed would always appear in front of her, scaring her so much that she dared not close her eyes.
"Sister Shang, I feel like there's someone watching me."
Shang Ruoyi knew she was frightened when she saw her like this.
The old man also got the news and hurried to Li Xia Xia's yard.
His granddaughter is so young, how could she have experienced these things?
