Chapter 33: The Missing Evidence
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Li Yiyun acted as if she got the goods on Xia Zhiwan and put on a joyful expression for Xia Zhiwan’s low emotional intelligence. “How shameless can you be?! How dare you insult our Sister Man!”
‘This time, Li Man would definitely not cover up for her! Xia Zhiwan is about to meet her end! Sister Ya would surely be glad once I chase Xia Zhiwan away and let her return home disappointedly! Maybe I would even get promoted to headquarters…’
Li Yiyun got even more passionate as she kept on fantasizing. “Sister Man, why won’t you chase her away right now?! We can’t allow her to spout any more nonsense!”
Xia Zhiwan already knew who the thief was thanks to Li Yiyun’s suppressed excitement.
She then said, “Sister Man, I am not suspecting that you are the thief. Instead, I suspect that someone has stolen your key and made a copy of it.”
As Li Man was involved, she did not immediately deny it. She then explained patiently, “I have always kept my key by my side. No one else would steal it. Zhiwan, you need to have evidence for your speculations.”
Li Yiyun laughed. “She is the thief. Why would she have any evidence? The thief is now accusing someone else of stealing!”
Under her guidance, the ladies also started to laugh scornfully. Was that how a rich young mistress usually acts?
There was a flame burning in Xia Zhiwan’s chest, yet she could not lose her temper. Otherwise, those ladies would get even happier as they experience more joy from bullying and laughing at her.
Sister Man was right. If she wanted to prove herself, she needed to bring out the evidence!
“Sister Man, if I can’t find any evidence within three days, not only will I pay for it according to its original price, but I will also resign from my job!”
Xia Zhiwan said in a firm tone. Li Man actually felt pity for Xia Zhiwan. As such, she did not have a reason to reject Xia Zhiwan’s idea.
However, Li Yiyun’s smile immediately froze in place. Her eyes got even heavier as she was thinking about how she could not allow Xia Zhiwan to find any evidence within these three days. She could also just make Xia Zhiwan exceed the three-day time limit.
Xia Zhiwan believed that the day has eyes, the night has ears, especially in this era of technology.
As long as she did the deed, she would surely leave some traces. It did not matter if it was a mouthful of lies or destroying the surveillance footage. All of that was nothing more than an act of deceiving oneself.
The thief might have been able to tinker with the shop’s surveillance cameras, but she could not have dealt with the cameras outside the shop, right?
There were a total of three routes to exit the shop. All three routes either had shops or surveillance cameras on the street. Xia Zhiwan went to each shop to investigate and told them that there was a thief nearby.
The worried shop managers then extracted the surveillance footage and gave it to Xia Zhiwan. She then compiled the footage and recovered the thief’s route of action.
The footage showed that a girl, who was wearing a cap and a mask, had walked from the direction of the shop at around three in the morning. There was also a handbag under her armpit. Xia Zhiwan speculated that the missing Blossoming Years was inside the handbag.
The security system of the shop was powerful. If it had not been an insider, the alarm would have sounded. However, the girl entered and exited the shop within such a short time. It was as if she was familiar with the place. It was clear that she was an employee of the shop.
The answer for the thief’s identity to this robbery was self-evident.
It would be an easy job for anyone who knew her in the shop to recognize that the thief was Li Yiyun!
Xia Zhiwan copied the video evidence and carefully saved it. She then let out a long sigh and thought that she could quickly prove her innocence.
Three days had passed. It was the morning of the fourth day, which was the moment Xia Zhiwan should present her evidence.
Everyone in the shop was waiting to see the closure to this robbery case.
However, Xia Zhiwan still had not arrived as time passed by. Eventually, it was already time for the shop to open.
Li Yiyun let out a sigh of relief. She then smiled. “She was so confident on that day. Now, she just fled away! She is clearly the thief. How could she bring out any evidence?!”
Li Yiyun blinked and subconsciously raised her voice, “How would there be an emergency if she didn’t say a single word? Sister Man, you are the shop manager. How could you take her side?! She is a lowly thief who ran away with the money after stealing!”
The other salespeople did not give any thought as to why Xia Zhiwan would run away after stealing a necklace considering her family’s background. However, Li Yiyun managed to provoke them as they pandered to her and began scolding Xia Zhiwan fiercely for being a shameless thief who affected the shop’s business.
Some had even suggested that they should report Xia Zhiwan together. Li Man must fire Xia Zhiwan.
Li Man did not say a single word, but her heart had begun to sink. Is that true? A kind and talented girl like her would be a thief?
