Chapter 334: President Li Declares, Gifting Chu Chu a Mine!

Chapter 334: Chapter 334: President Li Declares, Gifting Chu Chu a Mine!

Andy scoffed even more, "So many people have walked past, yet the machine only alerted for you. If it’s not you who stole it, then who else could it be?"

"If you refuse to apologize, I refuse to be searched. At worst, let’s call the police and let them handle it."

"You..." Andy’s face wrinkled with annoyance, but then he seemed to think of something and snorted lightly, "Fine, if we don’t find the jadeite, I’ll apologize to you."

With the promise made, Ning Yichu finally took off her coat and handbag.

The security guards immediately began to examine them.

Ning Yichu didn’t believe they would find anything, but the next second, something unbelievable happened.

"Found it!!"

The security found a red silk box inside Ning Yichu’s bag, containing a piece of S-grade ice jadeite.

The texture was exactly the same as the one that had been on the display!

Even the size was quite similar.

Ning Yichu was shocked but then quickly realized that the reason for the machine’s alarm was indeed this piece of jadeite. It was good that they found the cause of the alarm. Now it seemed that the genuinely stolen piece was still within the venue.

Seeing her still remain very composed, the crowd started to buzz.

"So she really did steal it, huh? I take back what I just said; it seems a person’s work and their character are unrelated."

"How can there be a thief in our jade sculptor industry? It’s really speechless."

"The price of this jadeite is tremendous. Stealing such a valuable item is surely punishable by law, right..."

"Hehe, fortunately, this is in Reykjavik. If it were in any other private mine abroad, she might be killed on the spot, and no one would care, right?"

The whispers around kept coming into Ning Yichu’s ear.

She spoke unhurriedly, her eyes clear and frank, "Are all of you so sure this jadeite is the stolen one?"

Andy, "The material and size are exactly the same. What else do you have to say?"

"Of course, I have something to say." Ning Yichu replied calmly,

"I did not steal the exhibition’s ice jadeite. The jadeite in this silk box was a result of my gamble at the material center yesterday. You can go to the store and confront the owner, and many passersby at the time can testify for me."

As soon as she said that, a local jade sculptor jumped out.

"I’ve been in Reykjavik for so many years, and I have never heard of any gambling stones at the material market; even if there were any, it’s a market for flawed products."

"The proper gambling zone is over by the antique street..."

"Even if Lady Ning wanted to find an excuse, she should’ve come up with something more substantial, no?"

Ning Yichu’s expression subtly changed. She indeed went to the material market yesterday.

"That gambling stone owner shares a booth with someone else."

"Stop your quibbling." Andy stood out and said, "Shared booth? As if we have never been to that market?"

A flash of Li Lingyang’s face crossed Ning Yichu’s mind...

Then, looking at the crowd’s continuous accusations in front of her, her cold eyes swept over them, "I said I didn’t steal anything, and I mean it. Is it possible only for the exhibition to have ice jadeite and not for a jade sculptor to bring one in privately?"

"The original stones on the exhibition have specific data. You can compare my stone with the lost one. Moreover, you can obviously investigate the surveillance footage, so why keep focusing on me without checking it?"

"Miss Andy, your intention to frame me is too obvious, isn’t it?"

The security guard hesitated, casting a suspicious glance at Andy, but before he could speak, Andy responded like a cat on hot bricks.

"The truth is already right in front of us, what else is there to investigate?"

A sharp gleam flashed in Andy’s eyes, and he immediately gave an order, "Quickly, get this thief under control and contact Mr. William!"

After all, a remarkably similar original stone was found on her, so the security, thinking it better to wrongly arrest than let be, planned to take Ning Yichu away.

Ning Yichu’s sharp eyes fixed on Andy; alright, since she’s in charge here, let’s go meet the organizers.

She didn’t believe something she didn’t do could be forcibly pinned on her.

However, just as the bodyguards were about to take Ning Yichu away, a cold and arrogant voice suddenly pierced the air, sharp enough to cut through the air molecules.

"Let’s see who dares to move her—"

At the sound, everyone turned to see a tall and elegant figure slowly approaching from behind the crowd.

A royal blue pure hand-made custom suit, wine-red tie, facial contours cold and distinct, black eyes as deep as an abyss, lips pressed into a straight line, gaze like a hellish Asura, cold and piercing.

He strode forward, his aura arrogant and unruly, high and mighty, yet enough to back it up.

Special Assistant Xu and a group of black-clad bodyguards followed closely behind, their eyes menacing and sharp.

Everyone present was taken aback, and the place instantly fell silent.

After so many days, seeing this man again, Ning Yichu’s eyelashes trembled slightly, as if her breath also halted.

Indeed, she guessed it right, Li Lingyang really came to Reykjavik!!

All the bizarre things that happened these days were his doing...

Fan Yuke, you’ve been deceived!!

Andy, although not in a high position here, knew Li Lingyang was the mysterious sponsor of this exhibition!

Even her tone of speaking became much more respectful, "President Li, this woman stole the ice jadeite from the exhibition, caught red-handed, and the security was just about to apprehend her and call Mr. William to handle..."

Facing Li Lingyang’s slightly deep gaze, Ning Yichu inexplicably felt embarrassed.

"I did not." She coldly retorted, "The ice jadeite they found was brought by me. Instead, the person in charge didn’t even investigate and immediately made me the scapegoat. She should be the most suspicious one, right!"

Andy’s heart skipped a beat, hurriedly instructing the security, "Quickly drag this thief away, lest she dirties President Li’s eyes..."

But the security guards hadn’t gotten close to Ning Yichu before Special Assistant Xu and his team blocked them.

Li Lingyang’s taut lips formed into a straight line, strands of coldness seeping from his eyes, glaring at Andy.

Andy’s people were motionless, her face unpleasant, "President Li... What do you mean?"

"Didn’t you hear Sculptor Ning Yu saying there’s more to the story?" Li Lingyang’s eyes were like a cold pool full of sharpness, clearly intending to protect Ning Yichu.

Andy took a deep breath, "President Li knows Lady Ning? We’ve already thoroughly investigated this matter!"

Li Lingyang’s expression sharpened, "Are you sure? To my knowledge, the jadeite on display was anonymously borrowed for exhibition, and the lender is Lady Ning herself."

What?

This piece was lent by Ning Yichu?

The entire crowd, Ning Yichu included, was stunned.

Despite her accomplishments, Ning Yichu is still just a jade sculptor. How could she afford a mine?

Andy visibly displeased, "President Li, even if you’re standing up for Sculptor Ning Yu, shouldn’t you at least stick to the facts?"

Li Lingyang glanced coldly, speaking unhurriedly, "If I remember correctly, this type of ice jadeite originates from Africa’s Ethiopia, Siya Beba Mine..."

That’s right!

Siya Beba Mine is quite famous, known for producing excellent jade, especially renowned for its ice jadeite...

Andy and the crowd on the scene were puzzled, "And then?"

"That mine... is Ning Yichu’s!!"
