Minister Qin seemed to have understood what she meant, but because he knew Anhao’s identity, he was 100% sure that this matter had nothing to do with her. He immediately said with an ugly expression,”Don’t spout nonsense before you find out the real reason. Director Gu, the theft in the office is no small matter. I’ll go with you to the office and investigate the matter as soon as possible.”
“How? Minister Qin, the surveillance camera on the floor of our office has been broken for several days. We don’t even know who entered the office when no one was there.”
“Since you don’t have evidence, don’t slander me!”At first, Zi Ran was still a little puzzled when she heard this. When she realized that the spearhead was pointing at Anhao, she immediately walked to Anhao’s side and said with an ugly expression,”Anhao and Qiu don’t get along, but she’s been recuperating at home for so many days. How dare you suspect her? Are you guys out of your minds?”
“So what if I’m recuperating?” Seeing that it was about time, Xiao Qiu said directly,”Didn’t you come to work the day before yesterday? She seemed to have come yesterday, and this afternoon, she heard that she had stayed in the office for a long time. At that time, everyone had gone out to buy clothes and dress up. Why was it that Gu An was in no hurry to change and dress up? Instead, she sat in the office alone for so long? I didn’t want to suspect her at first, but she is indeed very suspicious!”
Anhao raised her hand to stop Zi Ran, who was about to rush forward to argue with her, when she saw Minister Qin frowning at the side. It was obvious that he believed her, but he couldn’t reveal her identity without her and Zuo Hancheng’s permission to help her dispel the suspicion. Anhao curled her lips and said,””Alright, there’s nothing to argue about here. Since Qiu lost something, as the head of the design department, I should bring everyone back to investigate the matter. Now that I’m a suspect, it’s even more important to solve this problem first.”
“How do you want to solve the problem?” Minister Qin looked at her. After all, in front of so many people, he couldn’t be too biased.”Isn’t the camera outside your office broken?”
Anhao smiled and didn’t answer Minister Qin’s question. Instead, she gave the initiative to Xiao Qiu, who had been trying to speak first.”Qiu was the one who lost the things. How do you want to investigate this? I want to ask her for her opinion.”
Everyone turned to look at Xiao Qiu. Xiao Qiu didn’t expect Gu Anhao to be so stupid as to let her control the situation. She raised her chin and said,””Now that Minister Qin and the leaders of the other departments are here, I’ll have to ask you to be my witnesses. I, Qiu, lost something today, so I had no choice but to go through everyone’s drawers and bags.”
“This ” Minister Qin felt that something was not right. He looked at Anhao again.”Director Gu, this ”
Wasn’t this too hasty?
“Sure.” Anhao directly ignored this hasty approach and replied calmly,””You want to search? Then go search.”
The other colleagues also nodded calmly.”Go ahead and search. Anyway, we didn’t take your jewelry. Search as you wish ”
Everyone walked into the F Square together, planning to search the design department’s office. Xiao Qiu walked at the front, eager to rush in and open everyone’s drawers. Anhao and the other colleagues walked in the middle, while Minister Qin and the leaders of other departments walked at the back, chatting as they suspected the cause of the incident.
Zi Ran, who was beside Anhao, said uneasily,”Sis Anhao, I suspect that this is a conspiracy. Why would Xiao Qiu suddenly lose something and say that she wants to search? Did you check your desk properly before you left? After all, you haven’t come to work for so many days. There are a lot of documents piled up in the drawer. Moreover, everyone usually enters your office casually ”
“I know.” Anhao raised her eyebrows.
Zi Ran was stunned and immediately turned to look at her. Seeing Anhao’s calm gaze, her heart gradually settled.
Since Anhao was so sure that nothing would happen, Zi Ran followed everyone into the office with ease.
When they reached the design department’s office, Xiao Qiu didn’t immediately search Anhao’s office to prevent others from finding out that she was being framed. Instead, she started searching the desks closest to the door one by one.
Every desk was carefully searched under the watchful eyes of everyone, including Minister Qin and the others. Even the sanitary pads hidden in the drawers of the female colleagues were not spared. The female colleagues immediately blushed and looked at Xiao Qiu with resentment. They felt that she had gone too far.
She had just been kept by an old man and had gotten a few jewelry. After losing them, she actually wanted to search everyone’s desks. It was really too outrageous.
Such complaints gradually gathered in the hearts of many colleagues. For a moment, everyone stared at Xiao Qiu’s hand, wanting to see whose drawer she could find something in.
There were still two rows left to be searched. Xiao Qiu was just putting on an act. When she got inside, she glanced at Anhao’s office and said,”A few days ago, Director Gu was very envious of the jewelry I wore. Moreover, Director Gu doesn’t seem to have much money on hand. I actually hope that this matter has nothing to do with you.”
As she spoke, she walked to Anhao’s office. Everyone looked inside suspiciously and then at Anhao.
Xiao Qiu crouched down beside Anhao’s desk and pretended to open the other drawers. Finally, she opened the drawer with the diamond necklace, but she couldn’t find it after searching for a long time.
Her expression froze for a moment, then she looked at Gu Anhao abruptly. However, Gu Anhao smiled and raised her hand to signal for her to continue searching.
Xiao Qiu recalled that Gu Anhao had been alone in the office for the past two days and wondered if she had been discovered long ago.
However, she had been injured for the past two days. She shouldn’t have been able to open the drawer to look at the unrelated documents, but there really wasn’t anything!
Just as Xiao Qiu pretended not to find anything and was about to go search someone else’s desk, Anhao said,”You’ve been searching everyone’s desks since you came in. Why didn’t you think of searching your desk first?”
Xiao Qiu stopped in her tracks and felt a chill run down her spine. She turned to Anhao.
“That’s right, Qiu. Did you leave it in your desk? Go and look for it ” Her colleagues also started to encourage her, and for a moment, they were all watching Xiao Qiu as a joke.
Xiao Qiu hesitated for a moment. Even if Gu Anhao really did return the item to her, she would only be scolded by Minister Qin for making a mountain out of a molehill. She turned around and was about to walk back to her desk.
At this moment, Anhao quietly raised her hand and patted her chest. When Zi Ran noticed her action, she suddenly asked in surprise,”Sister Anhao, where did the brooch you left here go? Why did she continue to wear such a beautiful brooch? That was the world-famous pet of his!”
