Chapter 116 is suspicious.
One customer asked, dissatisfied, "A suspect? What do you mean by a suspect? We're just cooperating with your inspection to clear our names. Are you implying that one of us actually took the bracelet?"
There were already a group of guests who were reluctant to be inspected. They were of high status and it would be beneath them to be inspected, but they kept quiet because of the atmosphere.
At this moment, these people all spoke up: "How can you talk like that? It's just a bracelet. If we wanted it, wouldn't we just buy it ourselves? Why resort to these sneaky and underhanded tactics?!"
Zhou Shuhui quickly said, "I'm so sorry, everyone. He's a waiter hired from outside and doesn't know the rules. Please forgive him."
As Zhou Shuhui spoke, she gave the waiter a reproachful look, "Why aren't you apologizing to the guests yet?"
The waiter looked unwilling and said, "I'm not suspecting anyone, I just think that instead of checking everyone, we should check those who have left the lobby first."
Ye Linlang asked, "What do you mean by that?"
“What I mean is that the person who hasn’t left the lobby is the least likely to take the bracelet. Because the bracelet is very conspicuous, and the guests aren’t wearing much clothing, it would be discovered during a check. If I were a thief, I would definitely try to hide the bracelet first, and then secretly take it when I’m about to leave. That way, I wouldn’t be suspected, and I could successfully take the bracelet out.”
Ye Linlang immediately understood: "You mean, the bracelet isn't on anyone at all, but was hidden by a thief?"
"Yes, not many people have left the hall. We just need to check the places they've been to and see if there are any bracelets."
A guest immediately asked, "Who has left the lobby?"
The maid who had spoken earlier pointed to He Suye first, "This young lady said she wasn't feeling well and asked me to take her to a room to rest."
Zhou Shuhui immediately shook her head: "Ye Zi would never take that bracelet."
Ye Linlang smiled and said, "Xiao Hui, of course I believe in Miss He Suye just like you, but only an examination can prove her innocence. I believe Miss He is willing to cooperate with us, right, Miss He?"
He Suye nodded slightly and said, "I can cooperate with you."
At this point, she keenly sensed a slight smile playing on Ye Linlang's lips. Without changing her expression, she turned her gaze to Zhou Shuhui and asked, "I just want to ask one question. Now I'm the so-called suspect in the bracelet theft, but after checking the room and my clothes, the bracelet wasn't found. How are you going to compensate me for my loss? Is Miss Zhou's bracelet a loss, but my reputation isn't?"
He Suye's quiet and aloof demeanor seemed to see right through people.
Zhou Shuhui looked nervous and guilty. She swallowed hard to suppress her guilt and said, "If not, I am willing to bring generous gifts and visit your home to apologize."
Hearing this, He Suye chuckled softly and said, "Then Miss Zhou can't be biased. Everyone here today is a suspect. Not only me, but Miss Zhou also needs to visit other people's homes to apologize."
After she finished speaking, no one present objected. Everyone was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhou Shuhui's actions. They were all very famous, so how could attending a birthday party turn them into suspects of stealing bracelets?
What do the Zhou family take them for?!
Zhou Shuhui nodded with a dry laugh: "Of course, once I find the bracelet, I will apologize to everyone here another day."
“Alright, let’s go. Let’s check my room. We’re all suspects, so we should all participate in the process of clearing our names.” He Suye kept referring to everyone as suspects, which made them increasingly uncomfortable. Many of them directly showed their dissatisfaction to Zhou Shuhui.
Seeing He Suye's relaxed expression, Zhou Shuhui felt even more uncertain. She deliberately pulled Ye Linlang to the back of the crowd and asked in a low voice, "Brother, are you sure you've made the arrangements?"
Ye Linlang nodded confidently: "Of course, and I've also prepared a surprise, just you wait and see!"
"But I always feel something's not right. Look at He Suye's expression, I always feel..."
"Don't worry about feelings. She's so confident because she knows nothing. It would be strange if she were guilty now. Don't forget, we're the ones who framed her. Just wait and see, I'll make sure you're satisfied."
Seeing Ye Linlang's eyes shining with excitement, Zhou Shuhui couldn't help but ask, "Why are you more eager to see her fail than I am?"
Ye Linlang smiled casually: "Once she becomes a thief, no one in this circle will want her anymore. At that time, only I 'believe' in her and am willing to accept her. Do you think she will be devoted to me?"
"You're disgusting!" Zhou Shuhui frowned.
"Don't just focus on criticizing me. We're both equally guilty now, neither of us is cleaner than the other!"
As Ye Linlang spoke, he quickened his pace and walked to the front of the crowd.
After arriving at the room where He Suye had rested, the others gathered at the door, and the butler led two servants inside to search the room.
One of the two servants was the one who brought He Suye to this room. He Suye noticed that after entering the room, this person did not search anywhere and went straight to the sofa.
At the same time, He Suye noticed out of the corner of her eye that Ye Linlang had a strange smile on his face.
Seeing that smile, He Suye also twitched the corners of her mouth and turned her eyes away mockingly.
The maid walked to the sofa and removed the cushions on the right side of it, drawing curious glances from many people.
"H-How could this be..." The maid's face showed surprise, as if she couldn't believe there was nothing under the pillow.
"Is there a problem?" He Suye asked casually.
Realizing her lapse in composure, the maid quickly shook her head, "No, no problem."
He then picked up another cushion, but there was still nothing underneath it.
The maid simply flipped the entire cushion over, revealing a white base. But underneath, there was nothing but a thin layer of dust.
How could there be nothing there? Mr. Ye clearly said it was on the sofa.
The maid was completely stunned, standing there helplessly, her gaze involuntarily drifting towards the doorway.
Ye Linlang was equally shocked.
He clearly put the bracelet under the cushion, so how come there's nothing there?!
Where did the bracelet go?!
At that moment, Ye Linlang even wondered if he had forgotten to put the bracelet under the cushion.
But that's impossible. The first thing he did after he came in and sat down was to secretly put the bracelet under the cushion. He couldn't possibly have misremembered!
Cold sweat rolled down Ye Linlang's forehead like beads, running down his handsome, angular face.
He Suye remained calm and composed. Following the maid's gaze, she turned to look at Ye Linlang, a half-smile on her face, and asked, "Mr. Ye, he seems to be looking at you, but why is he looking at you? That's strange..."
