After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 463 - 320:

As these words were spoken, many present furrowed their brows.

After all, such a body search would indeed be an insult to the women involved.

The policewoman hesitated for a moment, without responding.

Gao Minjia quickly took on an appearance of concern for the company, speaking to several executives, "I’m thinking of the company as well. 2 million is a trivial matter, but having a theft occur in the office area is outright defiance of Fu’s authority. It’s utterly despicable for such a thing to happen in our company! "

One of the senior executives nodded, "You’re right, the loss of an item worth 2 million is a minor matter, but having someone dare to steal from Fu’s is really ironic! I agree with a second body search."

Fang Yuan glared at Gao Minjia, "Qian Lin, Tang Xi, Director You, CEO Jian, and Assistant Lan all had the chance to come into contact with the ring. Why single out Tang Xi! Officer, shouldn’t you also investigate the others?"

A colleague added, "Yeah, calling for a body search is clearly about humiliating people. But since the ring is so small, it could indeed be hidden inside someone’s body. If we search, we should search everyone involved."

"Yes, yes, let’s search all the suspects together."

Suddenly, others also began to vocally support the notion.

You Lili looked visibly upset.

She just felt Gao Minjia was a stupid and useless jerk.

As a director, how could she be subjected to such a humiliating search!

Jian Rui also looked displeased.

The ring was lost from her office, and logically, she should be a prime suspect. She was desperate to find the ring to clear her own suspicions. Compared to this humiliation, she was more afraid that the loss would leave the senior management with a poor impression of her ability to safeguard even a simple ring.

This could affect her chances of promotion in the future.

At this moment, a commotion came from outside.

Then, a female employee exclaimed suddenly, "It’s President Fu, President Fu is here!"

Fu Tingzhou appeared in the design department’s office area.

Tang Xi slowly raised her eyes and looked towards him; their gazes briefly met.

You Lili and Jian Rui hadn’t expected that the affair would reach Fu Tingzhou’s ears, and that he would actually come. Both looked pale, with You Lili’s voice trembling, "President Fu, it’s my fault for not managing the design department well. I didn’t expect the ring to be lost; I should have been in charge sooner. I bear a great responsibility for this accident."

Jian Rui’s voice also trembled, "The ring has been lost for two hours, it should still be in the office area; we will definitely cooperate with the police to find it quickly."

Fu Tingzhou snorted coldly as he entered, "Your responsibility is indeed great!"

After hearing this, You Lili and Jian Rui both felt doomed.

Fu Tingzhou scanned around; the contents of a woman’s bag were laid out on the table. He looked at the police officer, "I have been in charge of Fu’s for six years now, and this is the first time a theft has occurred. I will make sure that whoever committed the theft is brought to legal justice!"

"Hey, Qian Lin, what’s wrong with you, are you feeling unwell?" a colleague noticed Qian Lin’s shaky figure.

Qian Lin’s face was pale, stabilizing herself with the support of a chair.

It was because of this concerned remark by a colleague that many eyes turned her way, making Qian Lin even more panicked.

She desperately tried to become invisible.

She was initially cooperating with Gao Minjia to drive Tang Xi out of Fu’s, as Gao Minjia had an uncle in the HR department. If it was confirmed that Tang Xi stole something, she could be immediately fired.

But to her surprise, Tang Xi was so bold as to call the police.

And the ring, why wasn’t the ring in Tang Xi’s bag?

Could it be that Tang Xi had found out?

That shouldn’t be possible; she clearly put it inside Tang Xi’s bag...

Qian Lin is now drenched in cold sweat down her back.

Her colleague stood next to Qian Lin, looking at her baffled, "Linlin, why are you sweating so much?"

Her words made Qian Lin shiver suddenly, and she quickly replied, "I’m fine."

Qian Lin looked visibly guilty and frightened, her face betraying her fear.

Fu Tingzhou swept over her face coldly, and Qian Lin was trembling like a sieve.

Tang Xi also looked towards Qian Lin, who was clearly revealing ’I am the thief,’ without the need for police interrogation, her composure completely fallen apart. This matched Tang Xi’s speculation—Qian Lin, a close junior to Gao Minjia, was one of the few who had entered CEO Jian’s office along with Fang Yuan, You Lili, Jian Rui, and Assistant Lan.

At this moment, with Qian Lin looking like this, everyone’s eyes were fixed on her.

Fu Tingzhou’s gaze was slightly intense, but he did not question Qian Lin. Instead, he turned to Jian Rui, "The item was lost from your office. Every office in Fu’s Corporation is under surveillance. Since it’s missing, whoever took it, it will be known once the surveillance is checked."

Jian Rui shivered, unable to even lift her head under Fu Tingzhou’s gaze, feeling a cold presence all over, she timidly said in a low voice, "The surveillance in my office was broken... I reported it yesterday for repair, but it’s still not fixed today..."

Who could have imagined that something so valuable would be lost today.

Tang Xi’s bag had already been searched, and nothing was found.

The police asked everyone in Design Department 1 to empty their bags for an inspection since the item was lost in their department.

Tang Xi gave Fang Yuan’s hand a squeeze, signaling her to relax.

After the search, the police had a direction for their investigation, so they were temporarily excluded from suspicion.

Several colleagues opened their bags, taking out each item.

Women always have many things, but Tang Xi’s was the simplest. She didn’t even put a cushion compact or lipstick, only carrying her ID, mobile phone, and a small pendant.

Fang Yuan’s bag was a small white bag; she took out the contents.

Lipstick, tissues, makeup fixer, cushion compact, etc.

Suddenly, her fingers grazed a compartment in the bag, and her complexion instantly changed.

Being inherently naive and never having encountered anything professional, she was momentarily disoriented, looking at Tang Xi with a trace of crying in her voice, "Sister Tang Xi..."

She did not take her hand out.

But she distinctly felt her fingers touch a circular object.

It was the size and shape of a ring.

She even felt the facets of a gemstone.

Tang Xi also noticed her odd behavior and wanted to walk over, but a policewoman with a sharp eye quickly approached Fang Yuan and grabbed her hand, pulling a ring out of Fang Yuan’s bag.

Jian Rui exclaimed, "That’s it!!"

Everyone was aghast.

The ring was found!

But it was in Fang Yuan’s bag!

Was Fang Yuan the thief?

Fang Yuan was usually very quiet, hardly partaking in any small group cliques, and was quietly interning as a backdrop before Tang Xi arrived, and she graduated from a prestigious design school.

Her family was well-off, an only child, her parents both had respectable jobs.

Why would she steal something?
