However, the contrary was proved true. Ye Leng’an appeared exceptionally calm, and she even had an air of laziness. When she met everyone’s gazes, she didn’t show any signs of nervousness. She continued to speak in a calm manner, “Oh, is that so? Is that necklace really precious? Then you should really take good care of it. It’s best if you lock it in a safe and don’t bring it out to show off. Now it got lost!”
Her remark made everyone present dumbfounded. Did she admit it or not?
“Ye Leng’an, you actually have the cheek to make sarcastic comments here.” Qian Gumeng immediately jumped out and scolded to Ye Leng’an’s face, “You stole the necklace, but you don’t show any remorse.”
After that, she turned her head and looked at Ye Xiyuan, saying directly, “Xiyuan, you’re too soft-hearted. You should call the police and let them take her in.”
“Where’s the evidence?” Seeing Qian Gumeng stirring up trouble, Ye Leng’an sneered and said, “You can say whatever you like, but it’s not up to you!”
“You…” Qian Gumeng exploded with anger when she saw Ye Leng’an’s shameless appearance.
“Ye Leng’an, if you take out the necklace now, we can let bygones be bygones,” said Lin Wanqin. She took a step forward and stood in front of Ye Leng’an. There was a hint of disdain and disgust in her voice as she said, “Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude.”
Now, whenever she saw Ye Leng’an, she would remember that it was Ye Leng’an’s parents who took her biological daughter away. Therefore, she couldn’t suppress her hatred for Ye Leng’an.
When Qian Gumeng came forward to question Ye Leng’an, she believed Qian Gumeng without hesitation. Because, like parents, like daughters. Ye Leng’an was definitely not a good person.
“Oh, then what are you going to do with me?” Ye Leng’an didn’t care about Lin Wanqin’s threat at all. She smiled nonchalantly. “Or, do you not care who stole the necklace now and just want me to admit that I’m the thief?”
“Ye Leng’an, you are too arrogant.” Yeh Li’s face was ashen. “This is not a place where you can act wildly.”
“Since you all believed that I stole the necklace, you have to show evidence!” Ye Leng’an was not nervous, and she was still as calm as ever. “You should know that there is a crime called defamation in the law. If your memory is good enough, you should remember that not long ago, I sued someone for slander. Or do you want to argue with me in court to see if you will be convicted of defamation?”
“You…” Ye Leng’an’s arrogant attitude made Ye Li so angry that he couldn’t say anvthinz.
“If you have the ability, take out your bag and let us search it!” Qian Gumeng said, “That necklace must be in your bag now.”
“Why should I let you search my bag?” Ye Leng’an casually picked up her bag and waved it. “Or should I say, who do you think you are to search my bag?”
“You must have a guilty conscience, that’s why you don’t dare to let us search your bag.” Qian Gumeng seemed to have caught something and said proudly, “So, you must have stolen the necklace. It’s in your bag now.”
“Do you think I will let you search my bag just because of your suspicion?” Ye Leng’an’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Wait a minute. If you suspect someone else, do you still have to search their bags? Do you want to search all of our bags before you get the answer you want?”
After that, everyone’s eyes turned hostile. They were here to attend the banquet, not to be insulted. If their bags were really searched, wouldn’t that mean that they were suspected of being thieves? They would never pocket such an insult.
For a moment, everyone looked at Qian Gumeng with dissatisfaction. They felt that she was treating them all as thieves.
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Qian Gumeng was a little anxious when she saw the unfriendly looks in everyone’s eyes. “When did I say I was going to search other people’s bags? I only wanted to search your bag.”
“Oh, then it seems that you know that the necklace is in my bag!” Ye Leng’an suddenly understood. “Could it be that you saw me take the necklace with your own eyes? However, if that’s the case, then it’s even stranger.. Since you saw it, why didn’t you stop me?”
