Xiao Qiu pursed her lips with an ugly expression. It took her a long time to find a reason to continue explaining herself.âSince you also think that just finding these things in the drawer canât prove that this is the truth, then someone must have deliberately placed these things here to frame me!â
âWho would frame you? Do you have evidence?â Anhao raised her eyebrows.
âI have no evidence!â Little Qiu is angry: We are outside the office, the camera head is bad, sure that someone sees me wearing it every day, so I deliberately hide my things, and deliberately put you where you left your brooch here to harm me!â
âAiyoyo, youâre really innocent!âZi Ran looked at her with a smile and said,âDo you think the brooch that Sister Anhao is wearing is an inconspicuous little thing that can be casually left there for others to take?ââ
âBesides, how can you not recognize such an expensive thing? This is a world-famous gem.âZi Ran said as she picked up the brooch.âDo you know how much this brooch costs? Compared to your broken diamond necklace and gold bracelet, itâs more than a few hundred times more expensive.â
âZi Ran, donât be so mysterious here!ââ Gu Anhao is just an ordinary college student who came back from studying abroad,â Xiao Qiu said angrily.â Even if sheâs not poor enough to beg for food, sheâs definitely not rich enough to buy such expensive jewelry! This was at most a diamond brooch! How can it be so expensive!â
â So youâve carefully studied this brooch. So you also know that itâs a diamond?âZi Ran said in surprise,â It seems like youâve observed Sister Anhaoâs jewelry quite a bit. In fact, youâve already made up your mind to steal it. Then, youâre calling her âthief, thief!â right?ââ
âI didnât!â âI didnât steal it!â Qiu was trembling with anger. I donât like her broken brooch!â
âIt canât be that heâs really my favorite â The other female colleagues whispered,ââI seem to have seen it in a jewelry magazine before. If you buy all of that set, it will cost a total of 60 million, and it seems to be in US dollars! If this brooch was real, it would be quite expensive. It was impossible Could it be a high-quality imitation?â
Xiao Qiu looked at the brooch on her desk in surprise.
Although it was placed next to her necklace, which was made of diamonds, her originally beautiful necklace seemed dull next to the brooch. On the other hand, the brooch that looked low-key and not too eye-catching was especially dazzling.
âIf such a cheap necklace can make you so excited, itâs no wonder you donât know whatâs good for you.âZi Ran continued to assist. She took out her phone from her pocket and casually searched on the Internet. After searching for the official website of the main brand, Heartâs Favorite, she found the picture of the brooch. Then, she turned her phone around to let everyone see the brooch on the screen clearly.âLook carefully. The brooch in the picture is the one on the desk. Look at the price!â
Seeing the price displayed on the brooch, not to mention the other colleagues in the office, even Minister Qin was shocked.
1.36 million USD!
That was 8.2 million yuan!
Minister Qin knew that Gu Anhao was Zuo Hanchengâs subordinate, so this item could not be fake. He looked up at Gu Anhaoâs calm expression and began to admire her composure. She was wearing such an expensive item, but she did not show off at all. Moreover, she did not show off her vanity. It was rare.
âHa!â Xiao Qiu believed it was impossible when she saw the price. She smiled and said,âEven if this brooch is the same as the one in the picture, it canât be real. Everyone knows the high level of imitation in our country. Just a casual imitation will look very similar. At most, it will be a real diamond. You must be joking!â
âWhatâs wrong? Was he afraid that he had stolen something so valuable that he didnât dare to admit that it was true?âZi Ran smiled and said,âIs it really enough to find a jewelry appraiser?ââ
âThereâs no need to appraise it.â Anhao said.
Hearing Anhaoâs words, Xiao Qiu looked at her proudly.ââAs expected, this is a counterfeit. Youâre feeling guilty!â
âDirector Gu doesnât want to delay everyoneâs time to attend the celebration party. Why are you saying that youâre guilty?âMinister Qin suddenly frowned and glared at Xiao Qiu.âNo matter if that brooch is real or fake, itâs someone elseâs personal possession. Why would it appear in your drawer and hide in a box that no one would usually notice? You havenât given everyone an accurate explanation until now, and youâve been constantly bringing contradictions to Director Gu.â
After being lectured by Minister Qin, Xiao Qiu looked at him with an ugly expression.ââChief, you canât just defend Gu Anhao like this! Those things really shouldnât be in my drawer. I clearly put them .â
Her voice suddenly stopped.
âWhat did you do to them?â Anhao asked with a smile.â
âI clearly â Xiao Qiu gritted her teeth.â I clearly remember that the jewelry was always in my bag. How could it be here? Someone must be trying to frame me!ââ
â Minister Qin, the surveillance camera is broken now. There is no strong evidence to prove the cause and truth of this matter. I think itâs better to put it on hold for now and resolve it tomorrow after the banquet. After all, President Zuo of Shengling Group is attending tonight. It doesnât seem good for us to be absent like this â
the secretary behind Minister Qin said softly.
Minister Qin nodded coldly and was about to speak when Anhao said,ââThe camera isnât actually broken. Who says that the cameraâs red light doesnât light up?
As soon as Anhao finished speaking, Xiao Qiuâs already awkward expression turned pale.
Anhao looked at Qiuâs back at the same time.ââIn order not to delay everyone from attending tonightâs banquet, Qiu, Iâll give you two choices. One, tell me why your jewelry is hidden in your drawer, and why my brooch is with you. Second, tell everyone the truth.â
âGu Anhao, the truth is that I didnât take your things. I donât know why my jewelry that I lost is with you!âXiao Qiu looked at her coldly and said,âThereâs no truth. The truth is that I have no idea whatâs going on. I clearly lost something. Iâm the victim!â
âThatâs good.â Anhao smiled.â Then Iâll give you a third option. Tell me, between 5:30 pm and 5:50 pm the day before yesterday, you and Xiao Huan from our design department suddenly appeared outside the office more than an hour after work. Why did you come back?ââ
As soon as Anhao finished speaking, Xiao Qiuâs face instantly turned pale. Xiao Huan, who was hiding in the crowd, also looked at Anhao in disbelief.
