“but, if i didn’t steal that necklace. what about my reputation today? how are you going to deal with it?”

nangong xuyao was speechless and didn’t know how to reply.

“then what do you want to do now?” after a moment of silence, nangong xuyao spoke again, “you’re the prime suspect now, but you refuse to prove your innocence. or is there anyone else you suspect?”

“hehe, how ridiculous.” ye leng’an said disdainfully, “you considered me the prime suspect just because of what qian gumeng said. do you have any other evidence? if a person can be convicted just based on other people’s remarks, then can i say that you’re a thief crying “stop thief?”‘

“no.” ye xiyuan raised her head and said with tearful eyes, “that necklace is very important to me. i would never do something like that!”

then, she turned to look at nangong xuyao and said anxiously, “brother

nangong, believe me. i didn’t do that.”

“i trust you.” nangong xuyao nodded. he looked at ye xiyuan and said seriously, “you’re definitely not that kind of person.”

huangfu ruiling had no interest in what was happening. he looked up at ye

leng’an, asking, “what do you plan to do?”

“it’s very simple!” ye leng’an tilted her head and smiled. “just like i said earlier, since you want to search my bag, then for the sake of fairness, you have to search everyone’s bag!”

huangfu ruiling nodded and then looked at li san behind him.

li san already knew what huangfu ruiling meant. he took out his phone, made a call, and whispered something into it.

in just a moment, a group of bodyguards swarmed in and surrounded the entire banquet hall.

in an instant, the banquet hall began to become noisy. at this moment, many people wanted to leave. however, before they could reach the door, they were stopped by the bodyguards.

“young master huangfu, what do you mean?” nangong xuyao’s face darkened as he looked at huangfu ruiling.

ye xiyuan looked displeased either. she did not expect things to come to this. she had originally planned to forgive ye leng’an after finding the necklace in her bag. and ye leng’an’s reputation would be completely ruined after that. her birthday party could continue, and she was still the most eye-catching princess in everyone’s eyes.

but now things had come to this, her birthday party was almost ruined. she could almost imagine how these people would talk about her birthday tomorrow morning.

“to help you find your necklace!” huangfu ruiling said coldly, “weren’t you guys the ones who kept clamoring to find the necklace?”

“but…” seeing this situation, ye li was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. he didn’t expect things to turn out like this. not only did he fail to expand his network by holding this banquet today, but he also offended many people.

“ye leng’an, don’t go too far.” lin wanqin took a step forward and gritted her teeth. “we’ve already decided not to pursue the matter, but why are you still so aggressive?”

“you guys started this, but you are not the one to make the call to stop it.” ye leng’an sneered and said, “if we don’t find the necklace today, no one will be able to step out of this banquet hall.”

in a few simple words, she made everyone present tremble with fear involuntarily. they realized that ye leng’an wasn’t bluffing. she was just stating a fact.

“good!” at this moment, ye xiyuan stood out and looked at ye leng’an. “since you insist, we’ll do as you say. however, i want to search your bag first. do you dare?”

since things had come to this, she had to minimize her losses. later, as long as she found the necklace in ye leng’an’s bag, there was no need to search other people’s bags.

after the matter was over, she only needed to go on stage and apologize to everyone. she believed that most people would not mind. after all, they didn’t suffer any actual losses.

seeing ye xiyuan’s confident look, ye leng’an smiled and nodded. “as you wish..”
