Even if Fifth Young Master Shen did not accept Chu Wuyou as his sister-in-law, she was Third Elder Brother’s wife nonetheless. He could never allow outsiders to put her in such a difficult position.
Not only would it be a shame to himself but also bring disgrace to his Third Elder Brother.
Besides, Chu Wuyou was the First Young Lady Chu, why would she lower herself to steal a necklace in an event like this?
“Oh, yes, the Chu family’s really eyeing your worthless necklace.” Fifth Young Master Shen threw a cold glance at Sun Ru. His voice sounded nonchalant yet it reeked of intimidation.
The crowd was flabbergasted at Fifth Young Master Shen’s obvious favoritism toward First Young Lady Chu. Why was he trying to protect her?
By right, Fifth Young Master Shen was not related to Chu Wuyou in any way. In addition, Fifth Young Master Shen was known as an impartial policeman that did not act according to prejudice.
The other policemen also widened their eyes in shock. What was happening?
Was this the end of it? Did the chief just close the case without any questioning?
The chief was obviously biased toward the woman. What was the relationship between them?
Stunned by Fifth Young Master Shen’s imposing manner, Sun Ru dared not speak rashly again.
Of course, no one was bold enough to challenge Fifth Young Master Shen’s evident favoritism. People dared not offend Young Master Leng but they were also terrified of Fifth Young Master Shen.
It seemed like the matter would end inconclusively.
“Don’t accuse my sister of stealing your necklace because she would never do that. Sister can have anything she wants in the Chu family. There’s no reason she would steal from you.” Chu Ninger who had been observing from afar suddenly dashed forward and pretended to side with Chu Wuyou.
Fifth Young Master Shen narrowed his gaze. Second Young Lady Chu, where had she been hiding all this time?
“Who knows? Some people are born green with envy. Moreover, Yuxin’s necklace is a limited edition.” Sun Ru played along and even stole a glance at Chu Ninger subconsciously when she spoke.
“Actually, a quick search in the purse should reveal the truth. It can also prove Miss Chu’s innocence if our accusation turns out to be wrong. Otherwise, an accusation like this could make an ugly rumor.” Li Yuxin made a logical argument.
Fifth Young Master Shen darted his gaze toward Chu Wuyou. He had only arrived a few minutes ago, hence not having a clear idea of the whole picture. Anyway, it should be alright seeing as it was Chu Wuyou who made the police report?!
“Should we search? Or not?” Baffled, the young policeman shifted his eyes from the chief to Chu Wuyou.
“Pfft.” Chu Wuyou failed to suppress her laugh. “You’re the police. It’s up to you to decide.”
The young policeman grieved tearlessly. Up to him? He also wished he had the authority.
He could not say anything because the chief of police was standing right next to him.
“Go on then.” Chu Wuyou pushed her purse forward, looking confident as if not bothered.
Both Sun Ru and Li Yuxin laughed internally at the sight of this. They thought the woman was helplessly stupid; she did not even know the necklace was right inside her purse.
Chu Ninger, on the other hand, was even prouder at her own success.
Upon seeing Chu Wuyou unperturbed by the situation, Fifth Young Master Shen heaved a sigh of relief silently and did not say anything further.
The other policemen stepped forward to open Chu Wuyou’s purse since Fifth Young Master Shen did not object either.
They did not even need to search through it because a necklace was right there above all contents.
It was exactly the necklace that Li Yuxin claimed to be “lost.”
Everyone turned toward Chu Wuyou with a gaping mouth. Was the First Young Lady Chu really a thief?
