Translator: Atlas Studios   Editor: Atlas Studios
Everyone was stunned.
Whatâs going on?
Why are the police here?
What are the police here for?
Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Zhao Junli was also stunned for a moment. Then, she immediately walked over.
âOfficers, what is this about?â
The leader of the police officers turned to look at everyone. âWe received a report that thereâs a suspected thief here, so weâre here to check. We wonât take long. If theyâre not here, then weâll leave as soon as possible. We wonât interrupt your gathering.â
Zhao Junli looked at him. âIs there a mistake? How could the people here steal? Please, lookâŠ
Before she could finish speaking, the police walked past her.
âPlease cooperate with our investigation. This is no small matter, as the stolen item is worth hundreds of millions. We apologize for the intrusion.â
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone instantly started discussing.
Hundreds of millions? Looks like itâs something like jewelry. Otherwise, I really donât know what couldâve been stolen.
The people here were accustomed to big scenes. They stood where they were and only checked to see if they had lost any jewelry.
Zhao Junli asked someone to close the door and then looked over.
âDid someone lose something? There are surveillance cameras in our banquet hall, so we can check those. Thereâs no need for the police to trouble yourselves. â
Zhao Junli was a little displeased. She had no idea who had called the police. If theyjust came to look for me, I couldâve found the thief by having the surveillance cameras checked. Why did they have to involve the police and disrupt this birthday party?
However, at this moment, everyone looked at the people around them. Nobody lost anything, and they all looked around in confusion.
Only then did LĂč Yueâan realize it. So thatâs howit is. Mommy did not say it during the ball, yet she notified the police this time. She must be planning to ruin Lu Nings reputation in the upper-class circles and make her look like a thiefin front of everyone!
This way, no one would be able to interact with her anymore.People of their social class loved face and status the most. Thereâs no way they would let themselves be seen with a thief.
LĂč Yueâan turned to look in Shi Qingyueâs direction.
Then, she looked in Lu Nings direction.
At this moment, Lu Ning was holding a glass of champagne in her hand and swirling it slightly. There was even a smile on her lips, as if she did not know what had happened and was very curious.
LĂč Yueâan could not help but snort coldly, and a mysterious smile appeared on her lips.
Letâs see how youâll suffer later!
She slowly took two steps back. When no one was paying attention, she turned around and went to a quiet place to make a call.
The person who she called was Lu Qing.
Lu Ning stood there and looked at Zhao Junli. She could not help but smile, looking at Zhao Junli with a playful gaze.
Lin Ci was still in a daze, not    what was going on. However, when she turned around and saw the smile on Lu Nings lips, she seemed to understand something. She immediately looked over and pulled her arm.
âDid you call the police? Have you lost something?â
As she spoke, she could not help but look at her to see if she had lost anything. Lu Ning smiled and pulled her back. âStop checking. I didnât call the police, and I didnât lose anything.â
Lin Ci was stunned. âHuh? Then who did?â
As soon as she finished speaking, a personâs voice rang out in the banquet hall that had been quiet all this while.
Shi Qingyue walked out and looked at the police.
Her voice was light and calm. âIâm the one who called the police. You donât have to worry about investigating. The thief is over there, you can take her with you..â
