Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 133 The Gold Watch in the Vase
Lu Qiaoge felt that Manager Wang was too eager to clear his name and therefore acted without thinking.

However, the staff on this floor were all confined to an office and not allowed to move around freely.

The police are also investigating them.

That's why Manager Wang is anxious, but he's likely to offend someone.

Lu Qiaoge could only pull Sister Su aside and lower her voice to say, "We can check Chairman Zhen's room, but we need to arrange who goes to check it first, so as not to anger Chairman Zhen. I suggest you tell Manager Wang, Sister Su, that our people should not go in yet, and let Zhen Xi and the others check it themselves first, so as not to mess up their things."

As for the others, they should just go about their business. For example, after saying these words, she, Aunt Huang, and Secretary Zhou should leave.

Others can stay if they want, but there's nothing she can do about it.

But Lu Qiaoge still had one more thing to do.

Sister Su has already gone to find Manager Wang. Chairman Zhen stood up, and Lu Qiaoge noticed that Secretary Xue's expression was finally a little off, but she still remained calm.

Since no one can prove that she took it, the blame can be placed on the waiters, the hotel staff, or even the receptionists.

Of course, they could also frame Commander Yan and An Leilei.

Even if something is completely messy, she can still clean it up perfectly.

Besides, only Chairman Zhen is qualified to interrogate Secretary Xue; no one else is qualified.
So, it takes real skill for Secretary Xue to cause such chaos.

At this moment, everyone was leaving. Lu Qiaoge deliberately lagged behind, tore off half a sheet of paper from her notebook, took out a pen, quickly wrote a few words, then crumpled the paper into a ball, put the pen back in her bag, and quickened her pace.

At this moment, Sister Su also found Manager Wang, and the police also came out from next door.

Just then, the staff at the reception desk called out to Manager Wang.

He just felt that they shouldn't search like this. Boss Zhen's room was different from the other members of the inspection team's room. There were a lot of things in it, including quite a few valuables.

It's not that we don't trust our comrades, it's that we're worried about how to compensate for any damage we might accidentally cause.

Sister Su also told him what Lu Qiaoge had said.

Manager Wang was already covered in sweat, and now he was even more so.

He took out a handkerchief to wipe away his sweat, looked gratefully at Sister Su and the others, and said in a low voice, "I acted impulsively and almost made a mistake. I will write a self-criticism afterwards. Thank you all."

Lu Qiaoge also walked over to Zhen Xi's side.

With a flick of her finger, she slipped the crumpled paper into Zhen Xi's hand as they brushed past each other.

All of this was done without anyone noticing.

It seemed difficult, but it was easy for Lu Qiaoge.

So, Zhen Xi, whose mind was full of all sorts of random thoughts, suddenly realized that there was a crumpled piece of paper in her hand.

When faced with this situation, the first instinctive reaction is to clutch the crumpled paper in your hand and find a secluded place to look at it.

My second reaction was to open it on the spot and see what it was.
Lu Qiaoge was right; Zhen Xi, who was good at disguising herself, was naturally the first to react.

But he didn't linger. Taking advantage of the moment when Old Man Lin and his father were talking, he walked to the side, but at the same time his sharp gaze swept around.

More than a dozen people had passed by him by now, and he didn't know who had given him the crumpled paper.

However, Lu Qiaoge was so outstanding that Zhen Xi spotted Lu Qiaoge's back at a glance.

But Lu Qiaoge walked very fast, and almost in the blink of an eye, she turned the corner and went downstairs.

Zhen Xi quietly unfolded the crumpled paper and saw only five words on it: "Vase Secretary Xue".

Zhen Xi was a little confused. What did that mean? Was Secretary Xue just a pretty face?

Yes, she is beautiful, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to get into the old man's bed.

But was giving him this note just to tell him that Secretary Xue is just a pretty face?
No, that's not right.

Zhen Xi wasn't stupid after all. His first thought was that Secretary Xue had stolen his gold watch and framed someone else to embarrass him and get revenge for his insults.

Could the gold watch be in Father's room?
vase?

Zhen Xi had naturally been to his father's room, and he suddenly remembered that there was a very beautiful vase on the marble countertop in the foyer.

Zhen Xi put the crumpled paper into his pocket, just as Chairman Zhen was looking at him with displeasure.

As Zhen Xi walked over, she heard Old Master Lin say gently, "Xi, look for it yourself first, and then we'll talk." Zhen Xi nodded and followed her father forward, her gaze involuntarily drifting to Secretary Xue who was following them.

Having formed a preconceived notion, when I looked at Secretary Xue again, I felt that she was acting guilty.

Chairman Zhen is a person of status; how could he possibly do something as lowly as searching for someone?

He stood at the door and instructed Secretary Xue, "Go and take a look."

Secretary Xue was secretly delighted, but the next moment, Zhen Xi was already standing in the lobby.

Chairman Zhen made no attempt to hide anything and shouted, "Come out here!"

He didn't want his son in his room.

In the past, Zhen Xi would have turned and left immediately, but not today. He said, "Father, if we only let Secretary Xue investigate on his own, I'm afraid the police won't be satisfied, so I must at least stay in the lobby."

Mr. Zhen thought it made sense, so he chose to acquiesce.

Meanwhile, Secretary Xue had already entered the room, but she had no interest in conducting any self-examination.

Although she considered herself to have exceptional willpower, her gaze still involuntarily drifted towards the doorway.

Standing there was Chairman Zhen's third son, the so-called heir.

He is Lin Manyun's son.

He had been secretly investigating her, and he only felt that she was the one who killed his mother, believing her to be a vicious woman.

But he never doubted his father; perhaps this is a common flaw in men.

Thinking of this, Secretary Xue sneered repeatedly, no longer paying attention to Zhen Xi standing at the door, and instead prepared to go to the bedroom first.

The bedroom wasn't exactly a complete mess, but there were a lot of things that couldn't be seen.

I was so tired last night.

So she didn't have time to tidy up. She was actually very afraid of being seen. Chairman Zhen might not have suffered any loss, but she would be the one who lost face.

Fortunately, these mainlanders were at least self-aware.

Just as Secretary Xue was about to go to the bedroom, Zhen Xi, who was standing at the door, seemed to be bored and casually picked up a vase.

The vase is beautiful, with pretty silk flowers inserted in it.

Silk flowers are also a folk craft; the ones made are peonies, and they look very lifelike.

Zhen Xi removed the silk flowers and, seemingly casually but actually carefully, turned the vase over.

Just a second before the gold watch fell onto the carpet, Zhen Xi, who was already mentally prepared, caught it.

Mr. Zhen, who had been completely calm and collected, was suddenly stunned.

He stared in disbelief at the gold pocket watch in Zhen Xi's hand.

That was an eighteenth birthday gift from Lin Manyun to Axi, so of course he recognized it.

Throughout the entire process, Chairman Zhen remained at the door, silently observing everything inside the room.

This naturally included his son, Zhen Xi, who was standing at the door.

He didn't pay much attention to Secretary Xue in the bedroom; his gaze was fixed on his son.

He saw with his own eyes that the gold pocket watch fell out of the vase.

At that moment, many thoughts flashed through Mr. Zhen's mind.

No wonder he's a business tycoon.

He knew what was going on almost instantly.

Without a doubt, it was that stupid woman, Secretary Xue, who did it.

Ever since Lin Manyun died, Axi has treated Secretary Xue like an enemy.

But I've explained it to him countless times.

Ah Xi just wouldn't believe that Lin Manyun's fall into the sea was an accident.
