As someone who had experienced life’s ups and downs, Mrs. Chen dealt with the matter in an efficient and decisive manner.

She led by example and was the first to take out her handbag so the person in charge of the hotel could inspect it.

Mu Feichi also took his mobile phone and wallet out of his pocket out of respect for Mrs. Chen.

After the host became the first to step up to clear herself, and even Mu Shao had set a good example, others quickly followed suit.

The hotel staff and security staff began to check the tables one by one. Liang Xinyi and Yun Ziling glanced at Yun Xi, who they believed to be ignorant of their scheme, then turned to Liang Xiuqin.

Yun Ziling watched the staff holding her handbag in one hand and the watch in the other. Hard evidence was right there, so it was hard to argue about it.

But she didn’t even know when the watch had been placed in her bag. She really hadn’t stolen the watch.

There was a lot of discussion among the guests who were sitting around them. Yun Ziling hadn’t the slightest clue what was going on, so she desperately looked toward Liang Xiuqin.

“Mom, it wasn’t me. I don’t know what’s going on…”
