The onlookers all gasped.
Life imprisonment!
This is a serious problem!
Such a young and beautiful girl, if she really was sentenced to life imprisonment, her life would be ruined! The very thought of it is terrifying!
Now Wu Shanshan was both angry and anxious, feeling somewhat speechless. “What evidence do you have to accuse me of theft?” she asked.
“Well…Wu Shanshan, many people here saw with their own eyes that the jade bracelet was found in your drawer,” the man said with a smile.
The car models who had come with Song Jia all chorused, “Right, we saw it with our own eyes. We can testify.”
“No, I want to check the security cameras!” Wu Shanshan argued resolutely.
“Sorry, our rest area does not have security cameras installed,” Song Jia replied with a cold laugh. Her face showed a mix of schadenfreude and blatant boldness.
“Alright then, let’s not make things difficult, ” the man said, swallowing as he looked at Wu Shanshan’s long legs. “Wu Shanshan, let’s settle this privately. As long as you apologize sincerely, I won’t pursue this matter.”
He had his own plans in mind.
Settle it privately?
He wanted to settle it privately, in bed!
The moment he saw Wu Shanshan, the man could hardly suppress his desires.
So tall! So beautiful!
In his life, he had never been involved with a girl of this type!
The man thought to himself, with such long legs, lifting and placing them on his shoulders, and then…
My God, wouldn’t that be heavenly?
At this time, the person in charge of the sports venue, the person in charge of the car show, and the security personnel all approached.
Song Jia was elaborately describing how Wu Shanshan had stolen her jade bracelet.
The car show manager’s expression looked a bit gloomy. “Wu Shanshan, what is going on? Explain yourself!”
“President MO, I didn’t steal anything!” Wu Shanshan defended.
At the same time, Wu Shanshan felt a pang of sadness.
Since graduting from police school, everything had been smooth for her. She was successfully assigned to the police bureau, and despite several complaints, they were just minor criticisms and her bonuses got deducted. Although she had a straight-forward personality, she was upright in character, so her colleagues didn’t take it against her and even feared her a bit.
But now, her position was suspended and she faced a major setback in her career. With no source of income and her family in urgent need of money, she was forced to work here as a car model, letting people blatantly stare at her body. Wasn’t her life difficult?
And now, she was falsely accused of being a thief.
For the first time in her life, Wu Shanshan truly realized how hard life can be.
Sigh! In the adult world, there is never such a thing as “easy”.
A surge of tears welled up in her heart.
She struggled to keep the tears in, reminding herself not to cry!
The car show manager glanced at the Bentley key in Song Jia’s boyfriend’s hand. He couldn’t entirely figure out the man’s background but definitely didn’t want to offend him without good reason. So, he scowled at Wu Shanshan and roared, “Wu Shanshan! Regardless of whether you stole anything or not, I’m going to call the police now! You’ll explain this to them! Also, you won’t get today’s pay!”
“On what grounds are you deducting my salary? I haven’t done anything wrong!” The tears in Wu Shanshan’s eyes were swirling, and her fist clenched tight, shivering in rage.
“Such a beautiful jade bracelet, no wonder you wanted to steal it,” Song Jia teased in a victorious tone, taking the jade bracelet out of the jewelry box to flaunt in front of Wu Shanshan.
Just then, Huang Xiaolong, who had been watching the commotion, finally couldn’t help but speak. “I don’t think Fat Wu would steal this jade bracelet.” Everyone’s eyes turned to Huang Xiaolong.
“Because this jade bracelet is fake, just a few tens of yuan. Why would Fat Wu steal it? Even though she is poor, does she not even have tens of yuan?” Huang Xiaolong said matter-of-factly.
“Bloody hell, what are you talking about?” Song Jia’s boyfriend glared at Huang Xiaolong, his face showing a hint of fear and his forehead breaking out into cold sweat. “Who let this hillbilly speak here? Get lost! Judging by your shabby appearance, are you capable of authenticating a jade bracelet? Get lost! Say one more word and believe me, I’ll get someone to teach you a lesson!”
Originally, the chaos had already reached its peak when Huang Xiaolong stepped in saying the jade bracelet was a counterfeit, making things even more chaotic!
“You…” Wu Shanshan looked at Huang Xiaolong, feeling a wave of warmth in her heart.
Between disappointment in her life and being falsely accused, she was ruthlessly attacked by everyone. Suddenly, when someone came forward to speak for her, it was an emotionally moving moment for Wu Shanshan.
Huang Xiaolong ignored Song Jia’s boyfriend’s threats. He didn’t even spare him a glance and instead walked straight towards Song Jia. “Can I take a look at your jade bracelet?”
“What…” Song Jia hesitated.
“What’s there to lose in just having a look? So many people are here, are you afraid I’m going to eat your bracelet?” Huang Xiaolong laughed. “City people are such scaredy-cats.”
“Hmph, do whatever you want. I’m not scared of you country bumpkin!” Song Jia retorted and casually handed the jade bracelet to Huang Xiaolong.
“Honey, this jade bracelet is real, isn’t it?” Song Jia instinctively asked her boyfriend.
“Of course it’s real. You’ve seen the invoice and the authenticity proof. How could it be fake? Do you actually believe the words of this rustic peasant?” The man’s face darkened. As he stared at Huang Xiaolong, it seemed as if he was just itching to act on his threats. The cold sweat on his forehead kept dripping.
Huang Xiaolong took the jade bracelet. “This bracelet feels rough to the touch, devoid of any smoothness… It’s definitely fake. But saying this might not convince you… So, let’s do an experiment.”
Then, Huang Xiaolong turned to a girl in the crowd who was holding a bottle of mineral water. “Miss, could I borrow your mineral water?”
“Sure, here you go.” The girl generously walked up and handed the mineral water to Huang Xiaolong.
“There are two simple ways to identify real jade, one of which is the water drop test.” Huang Xiaolong unscrewed the cap of the mineral water. “I will now drip a droplet of water onto the surface of this jade bracelet. If the water is quickly absorbed upon contact with the jade, then the bracelet is fake. If the droplet lingers on the surface for a while, then the jade is real.’
The onlookers chimed in, “That’s right. I’ve heard a jewelry appraiser say that the water drop method can indeed be used to identify real jade. This country boy isn’t making this up.”
At this point, everyone’s eyes were fixed on the jade bracelet in Huang Xiaolong’s hand.
Even Song Jia came over to watch.
Wu Shanshan was getting anxious. If Huang Xiaolong could really prove the jade bracelet to be a fake, a lot of today’s trouble would be avoided.
Huang Xiaolong slowly dripped the water onto the surface of the jade bracelet.
