Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Everyone was stunned.
What’s going on?
Why are the police here?
What are the police here for?
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Zhao Junli was also stunned for a moment. Then, she immediately walked over.
“Officers, what is this about?”
The leader of the police officers turned to look at everyone. “We received a report that there’s a suspected thief here, so we’re here to check. We won’t take long. If they’re not here, then we’ll leave as soon as possible. We won’t interrupt your gathering.”
Zhao Junli looked at him. “Is there a mistake? How could the people here steal? Please, look…
Before she could finish speaking, the police walked past her.
“Please cooperate with our investigation. This is no small matter, as the stolen item is worth hundreds of millions. We apologize for the intrusion.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone instantly started discussing.
Hundreds of millions? Looks like it’s something like jewelry. Otherwise, I really don’t know what could’ve been stolen.
The people here were accustomed to big scenes. They stood where they were and only checked to see if they had lost any jewelry.
Zhao Junli asked someone to close the door and then looked over.
“Did someone lose something? There are surveillance cameras in our banquet hall, so we can check those. There’s no need for the police to trouble yourselves. ”
Zhao Junli was a little displeased. She had no idea who had called the police. If theyjust came to look for me, I could’ve found the thief by having the surveillance cameras checked. Why did they have to involve the police and disrupt this birthday party?
However, at this moment, everyone looked at the people around them. Nobody lost anything, and they all looked around in confusion.
Only then did Lù Yue’an realize it. So that’s howit is. Mommy did not say it during the ball, yet she notified the police this time. She must be planning to ruin Lu Nings reputation in the upper-class circles and make her look like a thiefin front of everyone!
This way, no one would be able to interact with her anymore.People of their social class loved face and status the most. There’s no way they would let themselves be seen with a thief.
Lù Yue’an turned to look in Shi Qingyue’s direction.
Then, she looked in Lu Nings direction.
At this moment, Lu Ning was holding a glass of champagne in her hand and swirling it slightly. There was even a smile on her lips, as if she did not know what had happened and was very curious.
Lù Yue’an could not help but snort coldly, and a mysterious smile appeared on her lips.
Let’s see how you’ll suffer later!
She slowly took two steps back. When no one was paying attention, she turned around and went to a quiet place to make a call.
The person who she called was Lu Qing.
Lu Ning stood there and looked at Zhao Junli. She could not help but smile, looking at Zhao Junli with a playful gaze.
Lin Ci was still in a daze, not what was going on. However, when she turned around and saw the smile on Lu Nings lips, she seemed to understand something. She immediately looked over and pulled her arm.
“Did you call the police? Have you lost something?”
As she spoke, she could not help but look at her to see if she had lost anything. Lu Ning smiled and pulled her back. “Stop checking. I didn’t call the police, and I didn’t lose anything.”
Lin Ci was stunned. “Huh? Then who did?”
As soon as she finished speaking, a person’s voice rang out in the banquet hall that had been quiet all this while.
Shi Qingyue walked out and looked at the police.
Her voice was light and calm. “I’m the one who called the police. You don’t have to worry about investigating. The thief is over there, you can take her with you..”
