Chapter 118 The Thief Calls Catch the Thief
"She stole Xiyuan's necklace, but she still refuses to admit it." Qian Gumeng immediately rushed to answer, "Now she still wants to leave like this."
For this man who appeared suddenly, she didn't know who it was. Although the opponent's aura made her almost breathless, as soon as she thought of Ye Leng'an, she didn't know where the courage came from, so she spoke directly.
"Mr. Huangfu, isn't it?" Ye Xiyuan also stood up and said, "Gu Meng may not speak very nicely, but she doesn't mean anything malicious. Besides, Student Ye is the most suspected person now, and we did this only to repay her innocence."
The system has no way to find this man's information, but she also has eyes, so she can naturally see that this man is not simple. However, even so, she will not let Ye Leng'an go easily today. Moreover, with Nangong Xuyao here, she couldn't believe that Ye Leng'an couldn't do anything about it.
"Xiyuan, don't talk nonsense." Ye Li glanced in Huangfu Ruiling's direction in fear, and immediately stopped Ye Xiyuan's behavior, "I think what happened today was just a misunderstanding. I think it's just that the little girl accidentally lost the necklace, and definitely not someone who stole it."
He never dreamed that Ye Leng'an would climb such a high branch now. That is the young master of the Huangfu family, and the young master who holds great power. I had heard the rumors about the young master of the Huangfu family before. Although she was in a wheelchair, she was ruthless and decisive. At the beginning, he used strong iron and blood methods to win over the power of the Huangfu family.
Such a person, just hearing about it, already makes people tremble. In his lifetime, he never thought that he would actually meet a real person. However, such a meeting today is not friendly.
If he had known that Ye Leng'an could have such good fortune, he would never have let Ye Leng'an leave. Or, even if Ye Leng'an leaves, he will always care about Ye Leng'an, and will never make the relationship as stiff as it is now.
"Dad!" Ye Xiyuan looked at Ye Li in disbelief.
"Xiyuan, stop talking." Ye Li winked at Ye Xiyuan, "What happened today was just a misunderstanding, wasn't it? I think you must have been too busy just now, so you took off the necklace and forgot where it was, didn't you?"
Ye Xiyuan looked at Ye Li with disbelief, and at the same time, she was secretly startled. Because from Dad's current performance, it can be seen that this man in a wheelchair who suddenly appeared is definitely not a simple person, but an existence that they can't afford to provoke. Perhaps, even Nangong Xuyao might not be as good as that man. Otherwise, Dad would not suddenly change his attitude.
However, if she were to let it go now, she would not be reconciled. Moreover, if she bowed her head today, wouldn't she always be shorter in front of Ye Leng'an in the future.
"Xiyuan, say something!" Seeing that Ye Xiyuan remained silent, Ye Li couldn't help urging.
Usually, he obviously thinks this daughter is very clever, why is she suddenly so dull now! He has hinted to this extent, why can't he understand it! Now the young master of the Huangfu family obviously wants to support Ye Leng'an, and if they continue to entangle like this, there will be no results. Moreover, in the end, he would offend Young Master Huangfu.
"Why, do you have the final say on everything?" Ye Leng'an said suddenly, "You guys said I stole it, so you have to search my bag forcefully. Now you say you forgot where to put it. Why are you all here!"
What Ye Xiyuan said made Ye Xiyuan's face extremely ugly.
"Miss Ye, you have to be forgiving and forgiving." Nangong Xuyao took a step forward and stood in front of Ye Xiyuan with a gloomy expression, "You know very well that we are doing this now for the sake of whose face. So, since we got a good deal, don't behave yourself here."
He is indeed afraid of Huangfu Ruiling, but not Ye Leng'an. He will give Huangfu Ruiling face, but he will not give Ye Lenganan.
"If that's the case, then the Young Master Nangong must also want to find out the truth!" Ye Leng'an nodded in agreement, "It's impossible for the matter to get to the point where it is now! You say I got a bargain, but there must be a premise, that is, I really stole the necklace."
"However, if I didn't steal that necklace. What about my reputation today? How should it be calculated?"
After these words, Nangong Xuyao was speechless, not knowing how to answer.
"Then what exactly do you want to do now?" After a moment of silence, Nangong Xuyao spoke again, "Now the biggest suspect is you, but you still refuse to prove your innocence. Or do you have someone to suspect?"
"Hehe, this is really a big joke." Ye Leng'an said disdainfully, "The biggest suspicion you call is just a few words of Qian Gumeng. Is there any other evidence? If it is true that you can be convicted only by a few words, then can I also say that you are the thief calling for a thief?"
"I'm not." Ye Xiyuan raised her head and said, "That necklace is very important to me, so I wouldn't do something like that!"
After finishing speaking, she turned her head, looked at Nangong Xuyao, and said eagerly, "Brother Nangong, trust me, I won't do such a thing."
"I believe in you." Nangong Xuyao nodded, looked at Ye Xiyuan, and said seriously, "You are definitely not that kind of person."
Huangfu Ruiling had no interest in all this happened, he directly raised his head and looked at Ye Leng'an, "What are you going to do?"
"It's very simple!" Ye Leng'an tilted his head and smiled, "As I said just now, if you want to search, then to be fair, search everyone!"
Huangfu Ruiling nodded, and then looked at Li San behind him.
Li San already knew what it meant without giving instructions. He took out his phone, made a call, and whispered something.
Not long after, a group of bodyguards rushed in and surrounded the entire banquet hall.
In an instant, the banquet hall immediately started to be noisy. At this time, many people want to leave. However, before reaching the door, he was stopped by the bodyguard.
"Young Master Huangfu, what do you mean?" Nangong Xuyao looked at Huangfu Ruiling with a dark face.
Ye Xiyuan's expression on the side was not very good either. She never imagined that things would develop into what they are now. Originally, she planned to find the necklace directly from Ye Leng'an's bag, and then she would forgive Ye Leng'an generously. After such an incident, Ye Leng'an's reputation was ruined. After that, her birthday party can continue, and she is still the most eye-catching princess in everyone's eyes.
However, now that things have come to such a point, her birthday party can almost be said to have been ruined. She could almost imagine how these people would talk about her birthday tomorrow morning.
"Help you find the necklace!" Huangfu Ruiling said indifferently, "Aren't you the ones who have been clamoring for the necklace?"
"But—" Seeing such a situation, Ye Li was sweating profusely, and he never thought that it would turn into what it is now. Holding this banquet today, not only did not expand the network, but offended many people.
"Ye Leng'an, don't go too far." Chen Wanqin stepped forward, gritted her teeth and said, "We have decided not to pursue it now, and you still want to be so aggressive."
"You guys started the matter, but if it's going to end, you can't stop it." Ye Leng'an sneered and said, "If you don't find the necklace today, then no one will even want to step out of this banquet hall."
It was obviously a very simple sentence, but it made everyone present tremble. Because they realized that Ye Leng'an was not bluffing, but was stating a fact.
"Okay!" Ye Xiyuan stood up at this time, she looked at Ye Leng'an, "Since you insist on doing this, then follow what you said. However, I want to be the first to search your bag. Do you dare?"
Things have come to this point, it is necessary to minimize the loss. Wait a minute, as long as you find the necklace from Ye Leng'an's bag, you don't need to search for other people's.
After the matter is over, she only needs to come on stage and ask everyone to apologize. I believe most people will not mind. After all, they have nothing real to lose.
Seeing Ye Xiyuan's confident appearance, Ye Leng'an smiled slightly and nodded, "As you wish."
After speaking, Ye Leng'an didn't wait for other people to come up, and directly opened the zipper of the bag, then turned it upside down, and dumped all the contents on the table.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were on the table. Because of Qian Gumeng's swearing appearance just now, most people are actually suspecting that Ye Leng'an stole the necklace. However, when they knew that the person behind the opponent was Young Master Huangfu, they felt that Ye Leng'an would be unlikely to do such a thing. Because they have all climbed up to the young master of Huangfu's family, what do you want? How is it possible to steal a necklace?
Qian Gumeng was the first to rush forward, and she immediately began to turn over the things on the table.
"How is it possible?" Qian Gumeng stared at the things on the table, as if he could see a hole in the table, "What about the necklace? Ye Leng'an, where did you hide that necklace?"
Obviously the necklace should be in Ye Leng'an's bag, but now he can't find it. It's Ye Leng'an, it must be Ye Leng'an who is hiding.
"Oh, how can you be sure that the necklace is in my bag?" Ye Leng'an said with a half-smile, "Why? Did you see it?"
"Obviously—" Qian Gumeng became impatient and was about to speak.
But just as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by a voice.
"Gu Meng, stop talking." Ye Xiyuan stopped her mouth and said, "Since the necklace is not there, it means that Classmate Ye didn't steal it. I know you are anxious to help me find the necklace, but you can't wrong a good person. Now Classmate Ye has proved his innocence."
Although she was calm on the surface, at this time her heart was already in a turbulent state. Just now, she obviously asked the system to put the necklace in Ye Leng'an's bag. However, the necklace cannot be found now. Where did the necklace go?
Now she can feel the persistent eyes cast from all directions. However, the more this happened, the more she had to calm down. Now that things have gotten out of control, she must minimize the loss. Since he couldn't find it at Ye Leng'an, he must not be aggressive now. Otherwise, anyone with a discerning eye would doubt whether she directed and acted on her own.
That idiot Qian Gumeng is also real, he almost slipped his mouth just now. Sure enough, an idiot is an idiot, and there were mistakes one after another today. Such an idiot actually wants to hook up with Li Deze through her, it is simply dreaming.
"Xiyuan, that necklace must be from her." Qian Gumeng was so anxious that his eyes turned red, "It must have been hidden by her."
"Gu Meng, let me tell you, stop talking." Ye Xiyuan looked at Qian Gumeng with a hint of coldness in her eyes, "Now that the facts are in front of us, we can't wrong classmate Ye."
Qian Gumeng was stunned by the chill in Ye Xiyuan's eyes for a moment, because she had never seen such cold eyes in Ye Xiyuan's eyes since she met her. Ye Xiyuan has always given her the feeling that she is gentle and considerate, and no matter what she says, she always speaks softly. But now, Ye Xiyuan's eyes were icy cold, as if something would happen if she continued to speak, she immediately fell silent.
Ye Leng'an looked at Ye Xiyuan with a different smile on his face, "Ye Xiyuan, now that I've finished reading my bag, what about the others? I'm still waiting for your order!"
Ye Xiyuan gritted her teeth and fell into a dilemma for a while. Obviously Ye Leng'an asked to search everyone's bags, but now all the responsibilities are on her. Ye Leng'an didn't know where the necklace was taken. It's okay if you can't find it by then, but if you really find it on someone, it will be a matter of offending people.
"System, where is the necklace now?" At this point, I can only get the necklace back first. Otherwise, I'm afraid something will really happen after a while.
After asking the system, Ye Xiyuan anxiously waited for the system to answer. Because everyone's attention is on her now, she must make a decision as soon as possible.
"The system can't detect the position of the necklace." The mechanical voice sounded, but what he said almost made Ye Xiyuan collapse, "It should be that the necklace is blocked by something."
"What?" Ye Xiyuan was about to scold, "Didn't you put the necklace in Ye Leng'an's bag just now? Now the necklace is not in Ye Leng'an's bag, and you can't tell where it is? Is this what you do?"
"呵呵呵—" There was a sound of electric current, and the system did not reply any more.
Ye Xiyuan didn't know if the system hid, or something went wrong again. However, at this moment, she was really cursing in her heart. She felt more and more that this system was really unreliable sometimes. There are many times when it seems that once something happens, the existence of the system cannot be found.
"Why, can't you decide?" Ye Leng'an didn't give in at all, and continued to say, "Could it be that you just want to search my bag today! Then can I understand that everything you did today was actually aimed at me."
"I didn't," Ye Xiyuan immediately retorted, "I just—"
For a while, she didn't know what to say. She had no choice but to raise her head and look at Nangong Xuyao. In this situation, only Nangong Xuyao can help her.
Sure enough, after receiving Ye Xiyuan's eyes asking for help, Nangong Xuyao stood up and said, "Miss Ye, since you have already proved your innocence, then other people probably don't mind proving your innocence, right?"
While speaking, he looked around at the people in the banquet hall, with a hint of toughness in his eyes.
Actually, he didn't want to mobilize the crowd like this, but the real situation now is that they are already riding a tiger. If he didn't search other people's bags, then Ye Leng'an might not give up today. He is not afraid of Ye Leng'an, but he is afraid of Huangfu Ruiling standing behind Ye Leng'an.
Moreover, to be honest, today's incident, in the final analysis, is indeed their fault first.
"Young Master Nangong is really courageous." Ye Leng'an clapped his hands, then turned his head, looked in Qian Gumeng's direction, and said directly, "Since we want to search, let's search her first! Just now she was the one who jumped the most, and she testified against me. So, I want to see how innocent she is."
"What?" Suddenly being pointed at, Qian Gumeng almost jumped up, "Ye Leng'an, why are you searching my bag?"
Although she was sure that the necklace was not in her bag, she was still not convinced by Ye Leng'an's request.
"Qian Gumeng, the word double label is tailor-made for you!" Ye Leng'an smiled dismissively, "Didn't you justly ask to search my bag just now? Now it's your turn, why are you so resistant? Or, are you guilty?"
"Ye Leng'an, don't talk nonsense," Qian Gumeng was so excited that he almost lost his mind.
"Hmph, if you want to search, search." Qian Gumeng, like Ye Leng'an, dumped all the contents of the bag on the table, "I'm upright and sit upright, so I'm not afraid of you! You—"
Qian Gumeng's words stopped abruptly, and the entire banquet hall fell silent. Everyone's eyes were on the sparkling diamond necklace on the table. The pink diamond looked extraordinarily charming under the light. This necklace was obviously the one that Ye Xiyuan had just put on around her neck. Now it was found in Qian Gumeng's bag.
"Oh, it seems that someone is really calling for a thief!" Ye Leng'an gloated, "Ye Xiyuan, it seems that you have lured wolves into your house! Didn't everyone say that Qian Gumeng is your good friend? Now your good friend stole your necklace, what are you going to do?"
Ye Xiyuan wants to plot against her, so she will also put Ye Xiyuan in a dilemma. That's why she chose to put the necklace in Qian Gumeng's bag instead of Ye Xiyuan's. The necklace originally belonged to Ye Xiyuan, even if she found it with Ye Xiyuan, she only needs to say that she accidentally forgot it, and she can get rid of it completely. Although it will make this a joke, no one should pursue anything.
However, if it is placed in Qian Gumeng's bag, it is another matter. Especially just now, Qian Gumeng was the one who jumped the most. How do you look at it now, how does it look like a conspiracy!
"It's not me, it's really not me." Qian Gumeng was also anxious, "I really don't know how that necklace got into my bag. I—"
Suddenly as if thinking of something, Qian Gumeng turned his head, looked at Ye Leng'an, and suddenly realized, "Ye Leng'an, it's you, right? You put the necklace in my bag, you want to frame me, don't you?"
"Qian Gumeng, have you not woken up yet?" Although the facts are true, Ye Leng'an will definitely not admit it. She sneered and said, "Just now, you insisted that the necklace would be in my bag. Now the necklace is found in your bag, and some say I put it in. Why, you have the final say on everything, so what do you want the police station to do, what do you want the court to do?"
"It's you, it must be you," Qian Gumeng was even more sure, "Who would do such a thing except you!"
Now she can't care about anything. She can be sure that it is Ye Leng'an's hands and feet. Otherwise, how could this heart necklace be with her! Ye Leng'an must have known about their plan from the beginning, so she used the plan and framed her instead.
"Oh, why do you say that I did it?" Ye Leng'an ruffled her hair, and said lazily, "I also said that you have been testifying against me just now, just to divert everyone's attention, so that you can take the necklace away!"
"You're talking nonsense—" Qian Gumeng lost all reason at the moment, she blurted out, "You must know that we—"
"Gu Meng, I believe you didn't do it on purpose." Just as Qian Gumeng was about to say something, Ye Xiyuan quickly interrupted the other party, "You just want to take a look, you don't want to steal the necklace, do you?"
She must not let Qian Gumeng tell the truth here, otherwise everything will be ruined. Not only that, Nangong Xuyao was also here. She knew very well that what Nangong Xuyao liked was her simplicity and kindness. If he knew that all of today's situation was arranged by her, then it would be considered that there was that life-saving grace, and they would not be able to be together in the future.
"Xiyuan, Ye Leng'an did it, it must be Ye Leng'an." Qian Gumeng anxiously took Ye Xiyuan's hand, and tried to defend himself, "You must help me, you must help me."
