After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 462 - 319: Text Message Reminder_2

Because You Lili gave her a fierce glare that silenced her!

The position of director, in fact, has quite transparent income.

Not considered a lot, but definitely not little.

Yet You Lili was decked out in designer brands, drove a car worth millions, and owned a large, flat apartment in the city center.

All of that added up to over ten million.

A mere director, where could she earn so much money?

Off-the-book income was not insignificant.

These were things everyone knew deep down, but to flaunt disdain for a ruby ring worth 2 million in front of everyone, You Lili inwardly cursed Gao Minjia for being a fool!

She only knew how to add fuel to the fire!

"I didn’t steal anything, I’m not afraid of being investigated, and I’m not afraid to call the police," Tang Xi said, taking out her phone and promptly calling the police. After speaking, she looked at the crowd, "Let’s have the police investigate who actually stole it. I’m not afraid of making a big deal out of this, something was stolen from Fu Group, how can we just handle it internally within our design department? Since it’s lost, CEO Jian, you should report it directly!"

Tang Xi’s words were cold and resolute.

Gao Minjia was stunned for a moment, not expecting Tang Xi to confront the issue head-on; she thought Tang Xi would be panic-stricken.

Qian Lin’s expression was complex; she glanced at Tang Xi and then at Gao Minjia, unsure of what to do for a moment.

No one anticipated Tang Xi would actually call the police.

Once the police were involved, it would be troublesome.

Gao Minjia’s complexion wasn’t looking good either. If the police were called and the investigation later turned to her... She was about to get promoted to deputy director; anything that affected her at this time was undesirable. She didn’t know if Qian Lin was clean-handed; she glared at Qian Lin, her eyes questioning her.

At this moment, Qian Lin only wanted to protect herself. A theft case worth 2 million—if she were implicated, even if the ring was found, she wouldn’t be able to avoid a prison disaster.

Jian Rui exchanged a look with You Lili, and You Lili said, "Fine, since you’ve called the police, we’ll wait for the police to come."

The news about the missing jewelry ring worth 2 million quickly spread throughout the entire Fu Group.

Several senior executives also arrived.

Although a 2 million jewel wasn’t much for Fu Group, an employee committing theft was probably a first at Fu Group.

Fu Group was a leading global enterprise, and the Fu Family was the wealthiest in North City. Working at Fu Group was something many people dreamt of, yet there were still employees committing theft there—wasn’t that just asking for trouble?

Shen Duan knocked on the door of Fu Tingzhou’s office.

"Boss Fu, there’s a minor incident in the design department," Shen Duan said, "A ruby ring worth 2 million has been lost, and the police have been alerted. The person who reported it is Tang Xi."

Fu Tingzhou was currently signing documents.

At the news, his pen paused.

The black ink began to spread.

He stood and strode out, Shen Duan following close behind.

-

Design department.

The police had already been notified and had rushed over.

Since Tang Xi was the one who reported it, and Gao Minjia had directly accused her of stealing the ring, the police began their investigation by questioning Tang Xi.

A policewoman brought Tang Xi to the restroom, and Tang Xi cooperated by taking off her clothes for the search.

Tang Xi thought about the bag she left at her workstation, fearing that the ring might have been placed inside it by now, unless there was surveillance evidence of someone putting the ring in her bag, or if there was surveillance inside CEO Jian’s office...

But since CEO Jian had everyone go to the meeting room and spent so much time prompting the thief to voluntarily return the ring, it indicated there were issues with the surveillance in CEO Jian’s office.

The policewoman did not find anything on Tang Xi.

Both of them walked out of the restroom.

Tang Xi’s bag had been opened, its contents were clearly visible, with no sign of the so-called ring.

Tang Xi was momentarily stunned.

If someone wanted to frame her, why wouldn’t they plant it in her bag?

She glanced at Gao Minjia.

Surprise also flashed within Gao Minjia’s eyes, and her voice rose, "Search again thoroughly, how could it not be in her bag? She’s the one who stole it!"

Gao Minjia, impatient to pin the crime on Tang Xi, rushed over and rummaged through Tang Xi’s bag inside and out, "You must not have searched carefully, it was Tang Xi who stole it, how can it not be there!"

Tang Xi watched her frantic behavior and couldn’t help but let out a light laugh, "How can you be so certain that I’m the thief, so sure that the ring would be in my bag? Unless, you were the one who put it there?"

Suddenly, countless eyes fell on Gao Minjia.

And the look of panic on Gao Minjia was just too obvious.

Fu Group employees surrounded the scene.

Several senior executives also exchanged looks.

Tang Xi’s remarks, though seemingly light, were in fact a heavy blow.

People began to whisper among themselves.

"Look at Gao Minjia’s forehead, she’s sweating."

"Could it really be that Gao Minjia is feeling guilty for the theft?"

"What’s going on with Gao Minjia, she keeps saying Tang Xi stole it, and even after they’ve searched Tang Xi’s bag and body she insists it was Tang Xi, do these two have some sort of grudge?"

"Don’t you know? A few days ago, Tang Xi splashed a cup of water in Gao Minjia’s face, and the two of them almost came to blows in the office."

"Tang Xi is the new girl, right? She actually dares to provoke Gao Minjia? Gao Minjia has been bullying newcomers for years; this time she’s hit a snag."

"In my opinion, Gao Minjia had it coming, her business competency is also poor, just depends on her uncle opening back doors for her."

Gao Minjia, with her back straight, attempted to squeeze out a smile with her rigid face, "Tang Xi, you sure know how to frame people. With something so valuable lost, a thorough check is necessary. If it’s not in your bag, it might be elsewhere. After all, only a few of you have been to CEO Jian’s office, and a small ring like that can be hidden in many places. Who knows if your bag has a hidden section, or if you have any concealed pockets on you."

"I’ve seen in movies and news before, when people steal things, especially small items like diamonds and jewels, they hide it in their private parts when going through customs or other checks, then go to a hospital to retrieve it..."

While saying this, Gao Minjia’s eyes roamed from top to bottom over Tang Xi, "How can we be sure that you didn’t hide the item inside your body?"
