Liang Yin seethed with anger. She pursed her lips. Although she was on the verge of tears, she held it in and swallowed her grievance. It would be the greatest humiliation if she showed weakness in front of such a person!
The two of them just sat there as the police officers watched the surveillance footage. Apart from that unclear segment, they didnât find anything else that was wrong. They were at their witsâ end.
âCould the item have fallen off the display somehow?â The policemen suggested such an idea.
The store manager immediately said, âImpossible. There canât be a blind spot.â
Liang Yin retorted, âWho knows if itâs been stolen by one of your own people?â
The store manager choked with anger at her remark. âWatch your filthy mouth!â
Liang ignored her and sat down in a chair with her back to the woman. She said nothing. No matter how the store manager deliberately angered and humiliated her, she tried her best to appear indifferent.
Soon, the regional manager of the store arrived. When he heard that a ring had gone missing, he seemed rather anxious and immediately reprimanded the manager.
âWhy has a ring suddenly gone missing? Whatâs going on?â
The store manager pursed her lips and gestured to Liang Yin, who was sitting at the table. âI suspect she stole it!â she said sarcastically.
The area manager looked at Liang Yin and threw a question at the store manager. âDo you have proof?â
âNoâ¦â
âIf thereâs no proof then what youâre saying is just as good as hot air!â The regional manager said fiercely, âIf we canât locate this ring, be prepared to pack up and get lost! I canât protect you anymore!â
The manager bit her lip and watched the manager leave. Then she looked at Liang Yin again, her eyes filled with resentment!
âItâs all your fault!â Without warning, she suddenly pounced on Liang Yin and slapped her twice. âYou must have stolen it!â
Liang Yin was also unwilling to suffer a loss. Not to be outdone, she slapped her back. âDonât be unreasonable!â
The store manager was obviously worried about losing her job. She grabbed Liang Yinâs shirt, obviously trying to force her to hand over the ring.
âYou refuse to let us carry out a search because you are guilty! You refuse, right?! This matter is not up to you!â With that, she reached for Liang Yinâs pocket.
The two women started to fight.
However, the store manager was clearly anxious. After a while, Liang Yin was at a disadvantage and was pushed to the ground. Her hair was messy and she was in a sorry state. She covered her burning face, but she was stubborn and refused to shed a single tear!
The policemen hurried forward to stop them. When they finally managed to separate the two of them, the store manager clamored, âComrade policeman, sheâs a thief. Take her back to the police station for an investigation. Search her. Iâm sure youâll find the item!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Liang Yin glared at her with reddened eyes and explained again in a hoarse voice, âI didnât!â Then she trembled with anger.
At this point, her cell phone suddenly rang.
When Liang Yin heard the ringing coming from her bag, she took out her phone and saw the name âQin Zhouâ. At that moment, for some reason, her tears fell helplessly.
âCry! You dare cry! What right do you have to cry!?â
Liang Yin ignored her. She hadnât wanted to answer Qin Zhouâs call. After all, she didnât want him to find her in such a sorry state. Except that Qin Zhou called again. Liang Yin guessed that something was up, so she answered.
As soon as she took the call, Qin Zhouâs steady voice came through, âLiang Yin, are you free tonight?â
