Although the amount of money inside was unknown, given the Murong family's social standing, the gold card likely held a substantial sum, perhaps over a hundred thousand. Jiang Shiyu felt that the clothes here were too expensive and unnecessary, and she disliked this style of clothing. Li Jing, seeing this, was convinced she had no money to pay.
Li Jing sneered and blocked her path.
It seemed that if she didn't buy something to curb Li Jing's arrogance today, this woman wouldn't let her leave.
Murong Cheng, Murong Cheng, I will repay the debt to you!
Jiang Shiyu picked out a chiffon dress priced at thirty thousand. Among the clothes costing over a hundred thousand, Jiang Shiyu found it surprisingly cheap.
"I want this one, I'll pay!"
Jiang Shiyu waved her hand and placed the gold card on the counter.
Whether it was due to her imposing demeanor or the sparkle in the eyes of the luxury store employees, they became incredibly attentive.
"Certainly, madam, we'll package it for you right away!"
This was a globally limited edition gold card issued by Swiss Bank, requiring a deposit of at least tens of billions in the world's largest Swiss Bank to even qualify. Jiang Shiyu had assumed it was just a regular domestic gold card and hadn't paid it much mind.
Li Jing's female companions, who were with her, exchanged glances of disbelief.
"This Madam Murong still has some backing; she is, after all, the young mistress of the Murong family."
Upon hearing this, Li Jing became even more enraged. She glared fiercely at the two women, "If you don't know how to speak, then shut up! Are you her friends or my friends?!"
Jealousy and anger churned within her.
Li Jing glanced at the jewelry counter inside the store and suddenly had an idea.
The corners of her lips twitched slightly, and a wicked glint flashed in her eyes.
Jiang Shiyu stood at the counter, waiting for the sales associate to pack her dress.
"Oh, what excellent taste! This dress is a new summer arrival, very beautiful!"
Li Jing approached with a smile, getting close to Jiang Shiyu, "Shiyu, you truly have great taste!"
Why was Li Jing suddenly acting so strangely?
Her smile was insincere!
Jiang Shiyu shivered, suspecting that this woman was up to some mischief again. She just wanted to leave this place of trouble as quickly as possible.
The sales associate finished packing the dress and immediately handed the bag to Jiang Shiyu.
"Oh dear!"
Before Jiang Shiyu could reach the door, Li Jing exclaimed from behind.
"Where's the diamond necklace?! Why is it missing?!"
The sales associate's expression changed. The store was immediately sealed, preventing anyone from leaving.
"I didn't take it, let me go." Jiang Shiyu frowned. Li Jing was definitely playing a trick again.
She hadn't taken the necklace and didn't want to be bothered with her games!
"I'm sorry, madam, please stay and cooperate with our search. If you truly didn't take it, we will let you leave!"
All the customers were gathered together.
Li Jing crossed her arms, her eyebrows raised. Jiang Shiyu felt uncomfortable looking at her smile!
"Shiyu, did you steal the necklace?!"
As soon as Li Jing spoke, all eyes in the store fell on Jiang Shiyu.
"I didn't steal it, you can search me!"
Jiang Shiyu disliked being searched, but to prove her innocence, it was best to be searched quickly and leave!
"I'm sorry, madam, we will search you!"
A female sales associate stepped forward and felt around Jiang Shiyu.
Jiang Shiyu hadn't taken it, so she naturally had nothing to hide. She spread her arms, allowing them to search her calmly.
"Ah!"
A female sales associate pulled a necklace from her pocket. Upon inspection, it turned out to be the missing diamond necklace!
Everyone looked at Jiang Shiyu with disdain.
"Good heavens!" Li Jing covered her mouth, her eyes wide. "Shiyu, why would you steal? This necklace is worth over a million. If you steal something this valuable, you could go to jail!"
Li Jing's two female companions also looked incredulous. Fearing the situation wasn't dramatic enough, they added fuel to the fire.
"She's Murong Rufeng's fiancée, how can her hands be so unclean? Always doing such disgraceful things!"
The sales associates couldn't believe it either. This lady was carrying a limited edition gold card, so why would she covet a million-dollar necklace? Perhaps the gold card was stolen too?
Seeing the sales associates hesitate, Li Jing shouted, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and call the police!"
When Jiang Shiyu saw the female sales associate pull the diamond necklace from her pocket, she was stunned.
She hadn't touched the necklace at all, let alone stolen it!
Someone must have secretly put it in her pocket when she wasn't paying attention!
Jiang Shiyu instantly recalled the scene just moments ago.
Li Jing had come over to get close to her; it must have been then that she slipped the necklace into her pocket.
"Alright, call the police. Let the police check the surveillance footage. I didn't steal it, I didn't steal it! It's good that the police are coming!"
Jiang Shiyu wasn't afraid.
If the police came and checked the surveillance footage and the fingerprints on the necklace, the truth would be revealed.
Li Jing sneered at Jiang Shiyu's fearless demeanor.
Naive!
Her uncle worked in the police department. Whether Jiang Shiyu stole the necklace or not, this charge was already confirmed!
The police arrived at the scene quickly.
They reviewed the surveillance footage and collected fingerprints.
"Miss Jiang, please come with us to the police station!"
Jiang Shiyu was taken aback. "What?"
"You stole a necklace worth over a million. The surveillance footage shows you stealing it, and your fingerprints are on the necklace! You are being criminally detained according to the law!"
Seeing this, Li Jing felt an immense sense of satisfaction!
The curve of her lips was almost reaching her ears.
The two female companions saw Li Jing's somewhat ferocious expression and understood, but no one dared to speak.
"I didn't steal it! Show me the evidence!" Jiang Shiyu never imagined that the police would collude with Li Jing and act in concert with her!
"You do not have the qualification or the right. You are a thief now! A criminal!"
The police stepped forward, preparing to handcuff Jiang Shiyu.
"Who is the thief?! Who is the criminal!?"
He had only taken a phone call from a friend who had just returned to the country and deplaned, and upon returning, he saw this scene. The dirty hands of these policemen had grabbed his person!
He himself wouldn't dare to pinch her so hard. Were these people tired of living?!
The man's cold and ruthless voice seemed to emanate from hell.
The moment he walked in, a powerful aura permeated the entire store, and the temperature seemed to drop to freezing point.
Everyone present involuntarily shivered.
"Let go!!"
Murong Cheng gritted his teeth. If those lecherous hands lingered for another second, he feared he wouldn't be able to control himself and would chop off those hands!
The two policemen shivered violently! As if by some supernatural impulse, they released their grip!
"I've been framed! I didn't steal the necklace!"
The moment Jiang Shiyu saw Murong Cheng, she felt as if she had grasped a lifeline.
No one believed her.
No matter how poor she was, she would never steal!
"I'm late! I'm sorry!"
Murong Cheng's handsome face darkened. He took off his coat and draped it over Jiang Shiyu, then, in full view of everyone, pulled her into his embrace.
Li Jing was still in shock at the sudden turn of events and the handsome man who had appeared out of nowhere.
A cold glint struck Li Jing's face.
