Lan Qing was shocked and incredulous. “I put it in the cabinet, how can it disappear?”
“I also feel strange. I helped Madam pack and clean up before, so I have seen the bracelet in the cabinet. Madam has never moved it. But why did it suddenly disappear?”
The butler’s forehead was covered with sweat because he was anxious.
Lan Qing looked even more terrible and hurried upstairs.
Fu Laoye’s expression was cold as he looked at the butler and asked, “Have you carefully searched for that bracelet? Did it really go missing or did you not find it?”
It was such a coincidence that the bracelet was lost at such a critical moment. It was obvious that Fu Laoye didn’t believe it.
In fact, Shen Qieyi did not believe it. After all, the bracelet had been lost at the right time.
But the butler’s anxiety and Lan Qing’s reaction didn’t seem to be acting.
Hearing Fu Laoye’s words, the butler felt a sense of grievance. “Sir, I’ve been with Madam for a long time. The places where she puts her things are fixed. Especially the expensive things. I looked in all the places, but I couldn’t find it at all.”
“Let’s go and have a look.”
Under the lead of Fu Laoye, they went upstairs.
It was a little messy in the bedroom. Everything in the drawer of the desk was lying on the bed, and Lan Qing was still rummaging. From her frowning eyebrows, it could be seen that she was nervous.
“You guys help to find.” Fu Laoye pointed at the two servants beside him and instructed.
But in the end, the whole room was turned over, and the bracelet still couldn’t be found.
Everyone realized that the bracelet was really gone.
“How can the bracelet be gone out of no where? There must be a thief in the family.” Fu Yingjie took a step forward and glanced at the items that was taken out. “If there is a thief in the family that stole such a precious thing, we can’t keep this person. Let’s call the police.”
Lan Qing didn’t expect such a thing to happen, and it was at this critical moment.
The bracelet’s significance was extraordinary, and now it was Fu Laoye’s concern. He wanted to give it to Shen Qieyi, so they must find it.
Thinking of this, Lan Qing nodded and informed the police.
“Just wait and we’ll know what’s going on. Our Fu family can’t tolerate such a dirty person.” Fu Yingjie said, and her eyes fell on Shen Qieyi meaningfully.
There was a smile, but she looked cold and dark.
Shen Qieyi felt that there was something strange with the way she looked at her, but she couldn’t clearly point it out.
“I’ve been keeping this bracelet well all the time. How did this happen for no reason?” Lan Qing looked terrible and anxious.
Firstly, the bracelet was an important symbol of the Fu family’s daughter-in-law. Secondly, Fu Laoye wanted it to be given to Shen Qieyi. However, something went wrong at this time.
Fu Yingjie nodded, and then her face was indignant. “If the thief is found, no matter who it is, the person is a thief. We must not let this person go.”
… With the arrival of the police, things had boiled to an irreversible point.
When the surveillance monitors at home were taken out, Fu Yingjie wore a smug smile on her face. All of this was what she wanted.
The police played the video and everyone gathered around. The truth was about to be revealed.
The surveillance screen showed the corridor on the second floor. Shen Qieyi’s heart jumped when she saw the black and white scene on the second floor.
If the video continued playing, her eavesdropping on Fu Yao and his father’s conversation, and even Fu Yao pulling her into the corridor would be exposed.
Putting aside the possibility of others thinking that she had bad character for eavesdropping on other people’s conversation, it was likely that everyone would know that Fu Yao and herself were only affectionate on the outside.
If that happened, there would be things that could no longer be kept from the others, and the show they had put on would be exposed.
Grandpa wanted the two of them to be fine. If he saw this scene, he would be even more worried.
Shen Qieyi did not want to worry the only person who was good to her, nor did he want to make Fu Yao hate her more because of his grandfather’s pressure.
The video was getting faster and faster. Her heart was pounding, hoping that they could find the thief as soon as possible.
She looked at Fu Yao from the corner of her eye. He was also the person involved, but he still looked calm. Even at this moment, he was not nervous at all.
Shen Qieyi smiled bitterly. No matter when, Fu Yao looked like everything was none of his business, but all the suffering and aftermath needed to be borne by her.
Everyone’s eyes were on the screen, and her eyes were also constantly on it.
Soon, there was a plump woman in a white dress in the video, holding a tray in her hand.
Seeing herself, Shen Qieyi’s heart suddenly rose. She wanted to yell “Stop!” but she couldn’t, because it would make her more suspicious. Things were already very serious, and she realized that there was nothing she could do.
Soon, in the video, Shen Qieyi walked toward the study.
With every step, Shen Qieyi’s fist was clenched, and her forehead was sweating.
She was so nervous that she felt cold all over.
Suddenly, she stopped in the video, and the position was exactly at the bedroom of Lan Qing. Then, the video was cut off and the screen went black.
“Why did the video stop all of a sudden?” Fu Yingjie was surprised. “There has never been a problem with the surveillance at home. Why did it cut off at this moment?”
The policeman sitting in front of the computer was also confused. He typed quickly on the keyboard as if he was doing repair work.
But after a while, he shook his head helplessly. “I don’t know why. The video is cut off probably because of the device failure.”
Shen Qieyi’s hanging heart finally relaxed. Before she could relax, she heard Fu Yingjie say, “Qieyi, why did you appear on the second floor?”
She paused for a moment and continued to ask, “Sending tea should be done by servants.”
Her words directly blocked Shen Qieyi’s next words.
Shen Qieyi was speechless. When she passed by Lan Qing’s bedroom on the second floor, she heard the conversation between Fu Yao and her father. She paused subconsciously. Who knew that these matters were linked together so she became a suspect.
“And why did you stop at the door of my mother’s bedroom? Why did the video cut off after that?” Fu Yingjie frowned and looked puzzled.
Fu Yingjie was coming for her.
Shen Qieyi’s throat seemed to have been choked and she didn’t have time to think, but she also understood that she had to explain it quickly.
“I don’t know why the surveillance is broken. As for why I sent tea, it’s just because I see this place as my home. It’s not inappropriate to send tea to dad and my husband.”
Shen Qieyi’s words were very sincere. It sounded reasonable.
When Fu Yao, who had been silent beside her, heard the word husband, his heart dropped for no reason.
