A prominent silver-haired man appeared in front of the store unexpectedly. His presence made the surroundings glimmer.

“Miss Thief, you better watch your mouth. Or else, someone in prison would clean it for you!”

A cold and uncaring pair of eyes swept across Li Yiyun. He tightened his arms around the woman in his arm dearly.

What did she say about wanting to grow up and face the world on her own? Was this what she had to go through without him? Getting humiliated and bullied?

Xia Zhiwan pursed her lips and explained in a small voice, “I was going to avoid her slap… Why are the police here? Did you find them?”

Issac’s lips tugged into a smile. A righteous expression graced his face. “This is what she deserves for framing you. Don’t think you can get away with it by paying them off!”

Li Yiyun was escorted away by the police, still indignant about her arrest. They also took Xia Zhiwan to the station to get her statement.

After everything had been settled, the police awkwardly asked for Xia Zhiwan’s help.

“Miss Xia, the stolen necklace is now in the black market. It may have been remodeled, or the diamonds may have been removed. These possibilities have increased the difficulty in our search. This gentleman here told us you have an astute pair of eyes that can help us solve this case. Please cooperate with us.”

Xia Zhiya turned to look at Issac in shock, who was pretending he had no idea what was going on. She did not know what he was trying to do.

Did he realize something when he entered her office that time? Was he trying to test her? Or did he say that merely because he trusted her abilities?

No matter what his intention was, she agreed without any hesitation.

“I’ll definitely help you solve this case! It’s because it’ll prove my innocence too!”

Issac’s lips tugged into a small but satisfied grin. He also gave her a video so that she could have somewhere to start with her investigation.

The video showed Li Yiyun showing up at the most luxurious hotel in the whole city, Philippe Hotel, and meeting with Xia Zhiya.

Xia Zhiwan had a moment of clarity. Li Yiyun was only one of the many chess pieces from the game Xia Zhiya was playing.

Li Yiyun entered the room with her purse clutched under her armpit. Her expression was solemn. She looked much more relaxed as she was walking out and held her bag in her hand, dangling by her feet.

Xia Zhiwan made an educated guess that this was when Li Yiyun had handed Xia Zhiya the necklace.

Everything Li Yiyun had done had been done under Xia Zhiya’s orders. They were done just to hurt Xia Zhiwan.
