Chapter 1592 - Told The Truth
Sweet Love 1V1: Spoiled by The Executive
Gu Zhilin took the ring from the police officerâs hand and questioned Butler Xu sternly, "Why is Fang Huaâs ring with you? Did you steal it?"
"It wasnât me... It really wasnât me..." Butler Xu was now completely fl.u.s.tered. First it was a jade slip, and now it was a ring. "I didnât steal that jade slip. It was Fourth Young Masterâs butler who told me that this thing wasnât worth anything and that if I liked it, I could have it. Thatâs why I took it. I really didnât steal it! Old Master, you have to believe me! Officer, you have to believe me! I didnât steal it!" Butler Xu explained hysterically. If he didnât explain clearly now, he would really be taken away.
"Youâre still lying! The jade slip aside, how do you explain the ring? Why did the ring fall out of your pocket?!" Gu Zhilin was about to die of anger. Before this, he had really thought that Guan Meiyi had taken the ring and had even quarreled with Gu Zhiqian. Fang Hua, in particular, had been relentless with Guan Meiyi and had said all kinds of nasty things. Now, it turns out that Butler Xu was the one who had stolen the ring. Gu Zhilin felt very embarrassed.
"Iâm innocent. I heard the Young Madam..."
"Shut up!" Butler Xu was about to tell the whole story when Fang Hua stopped him.
He couldnât say it out loud. He couldnât say it in front of so many people. He couldnât!
"What about the Young Madam?" Gu Zhilin glared at Butler Xu coldly. "Youâve been a Butler in the Gu family for more than ten years. The Gu family has treated you well, so I really didnât expect you to do such a thing. Youâve really embarrassed the Gu family!"
"Thatâs right, brother. It doesnât seem like itâs his first time doing this. The police happen to be here, so why donât we search his room? Maybe we can find something else," Gu Zhiming, who had been silent all this time, said at this time, "Come, you guys, go search Butler Xuâs room. See if thereâs anything else!"
Gu Zhiming casually pointed at a few people to search Butler Xuâs room. Now that things were like this, it was better for the public story to be that the butler had committed a criminal act than something else.
Seeing that the servants were heading to his room, Butler Xu became anxious and said, "Donât search my room. I really didnât steal the ring! This ring is..."
"Didnât I tell you to shut up?! You obviously stole it, so do you still want to quibble?" Fang Hua glared at Butler Xu.
However, Butler Xu couldnât care less at this time. In the past few years, he had stolen various things in the Gu family. He often took advantage of these mastersâ carelessness to steal little things for himself. Some of them were sold for money, and some of them were kept for himself. Anyway, the Gu family was rich. They didnât care if these little things were lost, so Butler Xu kept them with peace of mind. He never thought that the day when his dirty deeds would be exposed would come.
Now, Gu Zhiming asked the servants to search his room. He didnât know if those little things would be found. Every one of them was worth a lot of money. If he was sentenced, it would be a lot of years in prison.
However, that wasnât the most important thing. The most important thing was that Young Madamâs ring indeed wasnât stolen by him. If this was also blamed on him, wouldnât he be sent to prison for a long time?
Looking at Fang Huaâs face, he saw that although she was clearly the one who gave it to him, she didnât care about his fate now. The more Butler Xu thought about it, the angrier he got. He directly said, "I didnât steal that ring. It was the Young Madam who asked me to arrange for someone to secretly put the ring on Guan Meiyi to frame her for stealing the ring!"
