Chapter 381: Chapter 381: The Lost Bracelet is on Her Wrist

Several wine glasses that had been placed on the edge of the table fell and shattered on the floor, drawing everyone’s attention and adding to the commotion at the scene.

"I’m sorry everyone for the bit of turbulence we just experienced. But it has been confirmed that everything is now fine, so there’s no need to worry," Tang Xinru hurriedly said.

Everyone knew that such situations were hard to avoid on a ship, even if it was an artificial sea, and after steadying themselves, they all said it was no big deal.

Tang Xinru nodded, and Mrs. Tan walked over to her, smiling as she said, "Xinru, let me take a look at your bracelet, will you?"

"Of course, Mrs. Tan," Tang Xinru replied with a smile.

She led Mrs. Tan towards the bracelet, quietly telling her about how she had come across it by chance and what circumstances led to her purchase of the bracelet.

Standing in front of the glass showcase, she said with a laugh, "And then I’ve kept it until now, without expecting that..."

Her words suddenly halted. The cabinet that originally held her bracelet was now completely empty.

The people who had been admiring it there before had moved to other places due to the jolt, so no one had noticed the situation.

"What happened here?" Mrs. Tan was also quite surprised.

Tang Xinru’s face went slightly pale. Losing something was a small matter, losing face was a big problem.

At her own organized exhibition, the most important piece was missing. Once word got out, people would only laugh at her lack of careful management, and the first event she had organized was a complete mess.

"I am sorry, Mrs. Tan, the item might have been accidentally taken by a staff member," Tang Xinru said, maintaining her dignity.

Mrs. Tan didn’t expose her, but still gave her a piece of advice, "While everyone is still here, you should really have a good look for it."

Tang Xinru felt a chill in her heart and replied, "I’ll take your advice."

This was on a ship, where all the invited guests were reputable.

The ship hadn’t docked yet, which meant that even if someone had taken the bracelet, it must still be on them; it couldn’t have just been sent away into thin air.

She immediately instructed the security to lock all the doors, then pointed out a few people for security to check on.

Jiang Zhe picked a spot on a sofa and started to eat some fruit leisurely.

Xia Enci brought over a piece of cake and placed it in front of her, "Xiaozhe, try this, it’s not too sweet, and it’s really tasty."

Jiang Zhe picked up a knife and fork and was about to start eating when a security guard grabbed Xia Enci’s hand with a low voice, saying, "You come with us!"

"What for?" Xia Enci, who had a loli voice, flung the man off when he roughly grabbed her, throwing him out.

The guard didn’t have time to react and was pushed over by her, knocking over glasses and cups on two tables.

Suddenly, all attention was drawn to this disturbance.

Seeing that it was Xia Enci, still in her school uniform, that caused the commotion, many remembered the earlier occurrence and wanted to see what was going on.

The guard, originally following Tang Xinru’s instructions to act discreetly, found that it was no longer possible to keep a low profile due to the scene that had unfolded.

Tang Xinru walked over to this side, and the security guard immediately ran to her and whispered a few words in her ear.

Tang Xinru listened with a cold expression, already having an idea in her mind, and said, "You all go down first."

"Miss Tang, what exactly happened?" someone asked.

He Ling ran over and grabbed Xia Enci’s arm, asking, "Are you alright?"

"I don’t know yet," Xia Enci pulled her arm back.

Seeing He Ling’s reaction, Tang Xinru, who initially wanted to handle things privately, could no longer save face and said, "Xia Enci, you indeed don’t know what is waiting for you next. The name of the crime of theft, you must have never studied it in detail, but you’ve heard of it, right?"

"What theft?" Xia Enci was confused.

He Ling was equally surprised, "Tang Xinru, what are you talking about?"

Tang Xinru couldn’t stand He Ling’s protective attitude and said coldly, "What am I talking about, Xia Enci? Do you have no idea at all? The bracelet on display was just stolen, and the security is investigating!"

"What does it have to do with me?" Xia Enci was speechless.

Jiang Zhe looked up at Tang Xinru and continued to lower her head to cut the cake; Xia Enci had said this cake was delicious and not too sweet, and she indeed wanted to try it.

Seeing the two of them, one acting nonchalant as if nothing had happened and the other looking justified, Tang Xinru raised her voice, "The bracelet that was just stolen is on your wrist, and you say it has nothing to do with you?"

Upon these words, everyone couldn’t help but look towards Xia Enci.

Tang Xinru was definitely not one to lie, and someone immediately went to check the display and found that the item was missing.

So, Xia Enci...

Tang Xinru said, "Do you dare to show your arm?"

"What’s there to not dare?" Xia Enci said, and showed her arm.

As she lifted her wrist, the wide sleeve of her school uniform slid down, revealing the bracelet inside.

"It really is that bracelet!"

"How did she get it!"

"I’ve been watching her linger around the display case the whole time. She’s wearing this school uniform; it’s very familiar to me."

"That’s going too far! How could she steal it!"

"The value of this bracelet is enough to land her in jail for quite a few years!"

"This is definitely a case for the police!"

Feng Jiao and He Zizhou both stepped out from the crowd.

Feng Jiao spoke first, "Xinru, this must be a misunderstanding."

"Right, let’s go to the study to talk about it," He Zizhou suggested.

The more they tried to help Xia Enci, the more they sparked Tang Xinru’s anger at not wanting to let this go easily.

How could everyone take her side?

Why?

Who else had experienced the difficulties of organizing an event like she had?

When her event was ruined like this, had anyone consoled her?

She said coldly, "How could there be any misunderstanding? There’s no need to go to the study, let’s talk right here! Is there anything we can’t say in front of everyone?"

The crowd, eager for a scandal, didn’t want Tang Xinru to settle the matter privately and echoed her, "Exactly, it’s better for us to know what exactly happened."

"It all happened right before our eyes. We have the right to know, don’t we?"

"Don’t leave, let’s resolve it here."

"See that, the two of you? This is what everyone wants," Tang Xinru said provocatively, glancing at Feng Jiao and then at He Zizhou.

He Zizhou slightly furrowed his brows, recognizing her ulterior motive.

Feng Jiao’s status was not high enough to suppress Tang Xinru, and she could only worry for Xia Enci.

He Zizhou glanced at Jiang Zhe, who was still engrossed in her food, exuding an air of indifference.

With just that glance, He Zizhou knew that he needn’t bother; from Jiang Zhe’s demeanor, this issue seemed to be something she could easily handle.

Just what misunderstandings were there in this situation?
