n't frighten her."He Hanchuan glanced lightly at Ren Xiao'ya who was hiding behind him, "Today is grandpa's funeral, Xiang Wan can't go out and celebrate with you."If this were to be reported by someo...“Seal off every passage, have all the maids and everyone else come out to me immediately. Mrs. Feng lost a pearl necklace at noon, whoever took it please hand it over voluntarily.”

Just as things had quieted down at Meng Lan's place, Lily's low growl echoed once again through the hall.

Just listening to them made her feel exhausted. She had no idea what these people were up to again.

Soon, she heard the hustle and bustle of noise from the hall, and she couldn't escape. The bodyguard directly stormed into the kitchen and dragged her out forcibly.

Meng Lan resisted, under everyone's gaze, raised her head and glared at Lily, "What do you mean Do you think I would covet a pearl necklace stolen from Wang Zhi Shan"

"You can't say for sure~" Lily ran a hand through her hair, her tone dismissive. "You're not the Liu family's eldest daughter anymore, and you're not worth a fortune like before. Who would dare vouch for your character now"

"Slander!" Menglan rebuked angrily. "Even if I wasn't the eldest daughter of the Liu Corporation, I haven't lacked money for so many years!"

After looking around, the bodyguards came down from upstairs and addressed Lily, "We've checked the rooms of the other female maids, but we didn't find that necklace. Now there's only Miss Meng's room left, shall we check it"

"No!" Menglan angrily stopped him.

How dare they, treating her privacy with such disrespect!

“I said, Miss Meng, since you claim to have a clear conscience, what are you afraid of You know the saying 'empty words carry no weight,' right” Lily encircled her arms and looked at her arrogantly. “Madam Feng ordered that no room is to be spared except for Mr. Feng’s.”

"Yes."

The bodyguard immediately rushed upstairs, not bothering to ask Dream Orchid's opinion, and directly burst into her room.

Meng Lan looked at their imposing formation, her face filled with embarrassment.

To have her room searched in such a disrespectful manner was like having her clothes stripped off and thrown out on the street.

The bodyguard's search complete, Wang Zhisan, supported by a maid, walked to the living room sofa and sat down, clutching tissues in her hand. With a delicate and pitiful air, she reminded,

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Meng. This necklace is really important to me because my wedding with Brother Feng is just a few days away. I don't want anything to go wrong at this crucial time..."

Meng Lan lightly closed her eyes and let out a cold laugh.

After about ten minutes of searching, the bodyguard emerged from her room carrying a wooden box. "Madam Feng," he said, "there were no suspicious traces in the room except for this box, which is locked with a combination."

Wáng Zhǐshān hurriedly used a tissue to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes and looked at Mènglán, reminding her cautiously,

"Then why don't you have Boss Meng open it It's not like we're short one anyway."

Meng Lan pursed her lips, gazing at the wooden box, her expression shifting abruptly.

How did I find this...

She stood there motionless, while Lily beside her couldn't stand it any longer and snatched the wooden box. With a loud 'crack', she slammed it onto the ground, shattering it to pieces. Inside was a photograph and a pearl necklace.

At this point, the hall erupted in a cacophony of voices. Menglan's face turned ashen, her fists clenched tightly.

This wooden box had been tucked under the bed in Feng's house since her school days. For all these years, there was only one photo inside, which she had never touched.

Therefore, this is definitely a premeditated frame-up!

"Oh my, didn't we say you never owned a necklace But this... could it have just appeared out of thin air" Lily exclaimed, walking over to pick up the necklace and glancing again at the photo.

"Goodness, isn't this a photo of Miss Meng and Mr. Feng together"

Hearing her words, Menglan's eyes flashed with a hint of panic. She instinctively tried to grab the photo, but Lily dodged it nimbly. She hurriedly took the photo and necklace and respectfully presented them to Wang Zihui.

"The necklace is mine."

Wang Zhisan put the recovered necklace around her neck. She took the photograph again, and after looking at it, her face turned pale. With a soft 'clatter,' a tear rolled down her cheek.

"Mr. Meng, I know you were involved with Brother Feng for a while before. After all, it's common to have romantic entanglements. I can let this go."

"But why are you still unwilling to let me go This was an engagement gift from my grandfather, and if I lose it, I really can't explain it to his family!"

Listening to her accusations, Menglan's eyes flashed with anger, utterly twisting the truth!

Wang Zhisan in front of me appears so innocent on the surface, but when it comes to lying, she can do it without even batting an eyelid.

"Ms. Wang, you are truly cunning," Menglan said, her tone dripping with disdain. She stood there defiantly, neither servile nor submissive.

Since the photos have already been discovered, she didn't intend to explain and went upstairs.

Moreover, Wang Zhisan had carefully laid a trap, intending to drive her out of the Feng family. What explanation could she possibly give that would be of any use

"You... stop!"

Wang Zhisan's aggrieved little face was tightly furrowed, clutching her skirt and clicking on high heels as she followed her up the stairs. "You stole my necklace and just want to walk away I could choose not to take you to the police station, but you... at least apologize to me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the maids downstairs began to voice their accusations.

"Exactly! You stole someone's things and you're acting so righteous, you have no shame!"

That is to say, Madam Feng was more generous.

"I think I should just have her taken straight to the police station!"

Wang Zhi Shan went straight up the stairs and blocked her way, looking like she was about to demand an explanation.

Meng Lan felt agitated. She raised her head and, without a word, grabbed his wrist tightly and pulled him down the stairs. "If you want to call the police, fine, I agree."

"We're going to the police station right now. We'll seal off your house, lock down every door, and go over the surveillance footage in the monitoring room. We'll check every corner, every detail, to see if I ever went into your room!"

Wang Zhi Shan originally had the idea of crushing them all at once, but now, seeing Meng Lan so righteous and confident, she couldn't help but panic.

"Are you crazy" she said, pulling her arm away from Dream Orchid's grip.

"Don't you dare" Menglan's eyes were icy cold, her tone tinged with disdain. "You should know better than anyone how the pearl necklace ended up in my box. Put away your schemes, or I'll have the police investigate this thoroughly."

Meng Lan's eyes were fierce, carrying a strong warning. She was about to go upstairs, but Wang Zhi Shan pulled her back again. She leaned close to Meng Lan's ear and whispered, "Does the truth matter"

She suddenly let out a light chuckle, "The medical accident case of Uncle Liu back then was investigated for so long, didn't it also fail to get to the truth"

"You... what are you saying" Meng Lan's face changed drastically, she could no longer maintain her composure on the surface, and turned to look at Wang Zhi Shan.
