His Beloved Treasure

Chapter 1237: Chapter 345: Let’s See Who Dares

”I’m doing well! The shop is good too. I’m just doing the accounts; shall we talk in your office in a bit?”

”Okay! I’ll wait for you there!”

Qin Mu noticed the shop was extremely crowded, so she decided to go to the office for some peace and quiet.

The store manager promptly grabbed the receipt from the cashier and went to find Qin Mu.

The staff were somewhat surprised to see Qin Mu back. She finally returned from last winter to this summer; everyone had been waiting for her.

In the evening, as Qin Mu was about to leave, she overheard a heated argument from the section selling casual clothes. Unintentionally, she veered in that direction.

”I’m really sorry. How about this? We’ll search more thoroughly. There are no other customers in the shop right now. If you really lost it here and haven’t gone to any other counters, it should be easy to find.”

”Easy to find? I’ve been looking for half an hour! That diamond was specifically sent by my fiancé from abroad, worn by the British royal princess at her wedding. I’m telling you, every single person must be searched; none of your staff should be exempt. Everyone should be thoroughly searched!”

A young, fierce woman wearing stylish clothes, a designer bag, and ten-centimeter high heels pointed at the three staff members and the manager, demanding a search.

Qin Mu stood aside watching. Such matters usually didn’t require her involvement; the store manager would handle it.

”Let me ask you all again, has anyone seen this lady’s diamond?”

The store manager was somewhat impatient, turning to the three disgruntled but silent employees and asked again.

The three employees shook their heads in unison, indicating they hadn’t seen it.

”Check the surveillance footage!”

Qin Mu softly instructed the staff member next to her, then continued observing the battle inside the partition.

The woman had two men beside her, appearing to be in their twenties, looking like thugs or perhaps her bodyguards.

”Start with me; turn out all the pockets as much as possible.”

The store manager said, and then patted her dress, revealing the two fairly deep pockets at her waist.

The woman arrogantly crossed her arms, stuck her chest out, watching as they turned out their pockets. But seeing nothing, she unhappily said, ”Only an idiot would put stolen items in their pocket, especially something so valuable. How would I know where you hid it while I wasn’t looking?”

”Where do you think we would hide it then?”

The store manager was displeased, no longer showing a friendly face, somewhat unwillingly asking her.

”How would I know? In TV shows like this, thieves usually hide rings in their mouth or body. You should open your mouths, especially those three who’ve been nodding but dared not speak.”

Pointing at each of the three employees with her raised hand.

The store manager...

The three employees immediately opened their mouths, startled before the manager could speak.

”Even if it’s not in the mouth, who knows where on the body it is? It’s very easy to hide something like this.”

Qin Mu continued watching until the woman demanded them all to strip, forcing Qin Mu to step forward.

”According to what this customer is saying, I also have the right to suspect my ring was stolen by someone here? My pigeon egg fell in your shop just now. I have reason to suspect anyone here, including this customer and your bodyguards or whatever. They might have stolen my pigeon egg. Although my pigeon egg is larger, I can still demand this young lady and the two men strip completely for me to check.”

Qin Mu, nonchalantly with her head lowered, walked over. Her sharp eyes lifted, directly meeting the arrogant and domineering woman, defiantly challenging her.

”Wha? What?”

The woman stammered upon hearing those words.

”I said everyone here could have stolen my pigeon egg. Frankly, such a big item falling on the floor should be visible unless you’re blind, right? They’re my staff, so be it. But this young lady with her thug-like bodyguards, seems suspicious. I’m not sure how big your diamond is, but I think it’s best we call the police, search for your diamond, and find my pigeon egg in the process.”

”Are you the owner here? You’re lying, aren’t you? The owner went to Paris; who in Rongcheng doesn’t know that?”

The woman raised her brows looking at Qin Mu, not willing to believe her words.

”Unfortunately, yesterday the woman in Paris returned! Seems the young lady isn’t very well informed. Wang Li, help me call the police!”

Qin Mu said to the store manager beside her.

The store manager had long been fed up with the woman’s unreasonable demands. Hearing Qin Mu say to call the police, she immediately took out her phone.

”Who dares to call the police? Take her phone from her!”

The woman saw the manager calling the police and immediately instructed her bodyguards.

”I see who dares!”

Qin Mu stepped out more forcefully, standing in front of Wang Li, her sharp gaze shooting towards the advancing bodyguards.

Wang Li was also terrified, but not calling the police now meant not knowing how long these people would cause trouble; she had no way out.

”Who dares? I sure do! Who do you think you are to shout at me here?”

The woman shouted, swinging her purse towards Qin Mu’s head.
