“The thief must still be in the room, and they have to have the bracelet on them. Search everyone, and we’ll find the thief.”
Mrs. Tao nodded. “I agree.”
Old Mrs. Gu said, “I’m sorry for causing everyone so much trouble. If you’ve been sitting down, please remain seated. We’ll only search the people who have been walking around.
Only a few people fit that category. They were Feng Wu, Duan Chaoge, Feng Qi, and Tao Qingqing.
Feng Qi volunteered. “Go ahead! I didn’t steal anything! I have nothing to hide!”
Miss Tao didn’t like the idea at first, but hearing what Feng Qi said, she said arrogantly, “I didn’t steal it either, and nothing can change that!”
Immediately, everyone looked at Chaoge and Feng Wu.
“Xiao Wu…” The looks in their eyes gave Chaoge the creeps. “What should we do now?”
Feng Wu smiled. “Let them search.”
Chaoge nodded. “That’s right. Let them search. We didn’t take anything.”
Feng Wu looked at her and smiled in resignation.
The girl was so naive. She would never be able to survive this cruel world on her own.
The person frisking them was Granny Zhu, who was Mrs. Gu’s personal maid.
Chaoge said, “Search me first!”
Feng Wu knew that Chaoge would be safe.
Because she was the Gu family’s target, and they wouldn’t waste any energy on Chaoge.
As expected, nothing was found on Chaoge.
Granny Zhu looked at Feng Wu and Tao Qingqing.
Miss Tao was as proud as a peacock. She pointed at Feng Wu and said, “I don’t mind being searched, but she has to be searched along with me!”
Granny Zhu looked at old Mrs. Gu.
The old lady nodded.
Old Mrs. Gu told Suxiang, Mrs. Gu’s maid, to search Miss Tao.
Granny Zhu would search Feng Wu.
When Granny Zhu frisked Chaoge, she did it very quickly. It only took her a few seconds to finish the job, but it was a different story with Feng Wu.
She started from Feng Wu’s hair and carefully worked her way down.
The longer it took, the more flustered Granny Zhu became.
She couldn’t find anything…
How could that be?
When everyone’s eyes were covered, Granny Zhu had put the bracelet in Feng Wu’s sleeve, but it wasn’t there anymore!
Granny Zhu was almost in tears…
Feng Wu smiled at her. “You’ve been staring at my sleeve. Is there anything wrong with it?”
Granny Zhu was speechless.
Feng Wu took off her outer robe and handed it to her. “There. Take a closer look.”
Granny Zhu took the robe in resignation.
She searched every inch of it but found nothing.
She then searched Feng Wu one more time, but to no avail.
Granny Zhu was speechless.
What was she supposed to tell the old lady?
Old Mrs. Gu was staring at Feng Wu. She was waiting for Granny Zhu to find the bracelet, and she would pretend to pass out. That way, they could blame everything on Feng Wu.
However, Granny Zhu never found the bracelet, and the old lady couldn’t carry out her plan.
