“The system cannot detect the location of the necklace.” The mechanical voice rang out, but Ye Xiyuan almost freaked out after hearing it. “The necklace must have been blocked by something.”

“What?” Ye Xiyuan almost cursed out loud. “Didn’t you put the necklace in Ye Leng’an’s bag just now? But it isn’t there, and you can’t tell where it is either? Is this how you do things?”

There were suddenly electric fizzles, and the System did not reply.

Ye Xiyuan didn’t know if the System was hiding or if something malfunctioned again. However, at this moment, she was really cursing in her heart. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the System was unreliable at times. There were many times she couldn’t reach the System when something happened.

“You can’t decide?” Ye Leng’an didn’t back down. She continued, “Don’t tell me you only wanted to search my bag today! Can I take it that everything you did today was actually targeted at me?”

“No,” Ye Xiyuan immediately retorted. “I just…”

For a moment, she did not know what to say. She looked up at Nangong Xuyao.

In such a situation, only Nangong Xuyao could help her.

Sure enough, after receiving Ye Xiyuan’s pleading gaze, Nangong Xuyao stepped forward and said, “Miss Ye, since you’ve already proven your innocence, I don’t think the others will mind proving their innocence too!”

While speaking, he looked around at the people in the banquet hall with a hint of toughness in his eyes.

In fact, he did not want to get so many people involved, but they were already stuck. If he didn’t search the other people’s bags, Ye Leng’an wouldn’t let it go today. He wasn’t afraid of Ye Leng’an, but he was afraid of Huangfu Ruiling, who was standing behind her.

Moreover, to be honest, they were indeed in the wrong today.

“Young Master Nangong is really a man with guts.” Ye Leng’an clapped her hands and turned to look in Qian Gumeng’s direction. “Since we’re going to continue the search, let’s search her bag first! Just now, she was the one who ran around and fanned the flames, and she was also the one who accused me of theft. So, I want to see how innocent she is.’

“What?” Suddenly being mentioned, Qian Gumeng almost jumped up. “Ye Leng’an, who do you think you are to search my bag?”

Although she was sure that the necklace wasn’t in her bag, she couldn’t accept Ye Leng’an’s request.

“Qian Gumeng, the phrase double standard is tailor-made for you.” Ye Leng’an smiled disdainfully. “Didn’t you just say that you wanted to search my bag?

Now that it’s your turn, why are you so resistant? Or are you feeling guilty?”

“Ye Leng’an, don’t talk nonsense.” Qian Gumeng was so agitated that she almost lost her mind.

“Hmph, if you want to search, do it.” Qian Gumeng poured everything in her bag onto the table as Ye Leng’an did. “I’m a righteous person. I’m not afraid of you! You…”

Qian Gumeng was abruptly silenced, and the entire banquet hall became quiet. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the glittering diamond necklace on the table. The pink diamond looked particularly beautiful under the light. This necklace was the one that Ye Xiyuan had just worn around her neck. But now, it was in Qian Guimeng’s bag.

“Oh, it seems like there really is a thief crying ‘Stop thief!”‘ Ye Leng’an looked as if she was taking pleasure in Ye Xiyuan’s misfortune. “Ye Xiyuan, looks like you brought in a troublemaker! Didn’t you say that Qian Gumeng was your good friend? Now your best friend stole your necklace, what are you going to do?”

Ye Xiyuan wanted to scheme against her, so she had to put Ye Xiyuan in a dilemma. This was also why she chose to put the necklace in Qian Gumeng’s bag instead of Ye Xiyuan’s. That necklace was originally Ye Xiyuan’s. Even if she really found it on Ye Xiyuan, Ye Xiyuan could shirk all responsibility by saying that she accidentally forgot where it was. Although this would make a

fool of herself, no one wanted to pursue it.

However, if it was in Qian Gumeng’s bag, it would be another story. Especially when Qian Gumeng was the one who ran around the most. This was completely a conspiracy!

“It wasn’t me, it really wasn’t me.” Qian Gumeng was also anxious. “I really don’t know why that necklace is in my bag. I…”

Suddenly, Qian Gumeng seemed to have thought of something. She turned her head and looked at Ye Leng’an. It all clicked. “Ye Leng’an, it’s you, isn’t it? You put the necklace in my bag. You want to frame me, don’t you?”

“Qian Gumeng, are you still dreaming?” Although that was the truth, Ye Leng’an would never admit it. She sneered and said, “Just now, you averred that the necklace was in my bag. Now the necklace was found in your bag, and you said I put it in your bag. If you are the one to decide, then why do we need the police station and the court?”

“It’s you, it must be you.” Qian Gumeng was even more certain. “Who else will do such a thing?”

She could not care about anything else now. She was certain that it was Ye Leng’an’s doing. Otherwise, why was this necklace in her bag? Ye Leng’an must have found out their plan from the beginning, so she played along and framed her.

“Oh, why did you say that I did it?” Ye Leng’an brushed her hair and said lazily, “In my opinion, you kept accusing me just now to divert everyone’s attention so that you could take the necklace away!”

“You’re talking nonsense…” Qian Gumeng had lost all rationality at this moment. She blurted out, “You must know that we…”

“Gumeng, I believe you didn’t do it on purpose.” Just as Qian Gumeng was about to say something, Ye Xiyuan quickly interrupted her. “You just wanted to take a look. You didn’t want to steal the necklace, right?”

She couldn’t let Qian Gumeng tell the truth here, otherwise, everything would be ruined. Nangong Xuyao was also here. She knew very well that Nangong Xuyao liked her innocence and kindness. If he found out that everything that happened today was a trap set up by her, then even if she saved his life, they would never be able to be together again.

“Xiyuan, it was Ye Leng’an. It must be Ye Leng’an.” Qian Gumeng anxiously pulled Ye Xiyuan’s hand and desperately tried to defend herself, “You must help me. You must help me..”
