    Gu Qichen’s voice was light, “Is there a problem with me buying a ne for my wife?”


    Shen Manbing sneered, “The Heart of the Kingdom was auctioned at Sotheby’s auction house three years ago, sold for 1400 US dors, bought by a mysterious buyer. You and I were both there. You can fool others, but trying to fool me is treating me like a fool, isn’t it?”


    “What do you think happened?”


    “Gu Qichen, your appearance today is too strange, especially the presence of Mo YinFeng. His purchase certificate still has a wet signature ink on it, isn’t that obvious to you?”


    Gu Qichen remained silent.


    Shen Manbing, however, was imposing, “But I must say I admire you. I think you contacted the original buyer through Mo YinFeng, then bought the jewelry from him at a high price, quickly signed a new purchase certificate, and brought it here to vindicate Xia Yangyang. For a ne worth less than a hundred million, you spent two hundred million to buy it back, just to solve Xia Yangyang’s urgent need. You know, once Xia Yangyang was taken away then, no matter what means could justify her innocenceter, everyone would think she was trying to whitewash. If you wanted to sessfully close this chapter, the best way was to make Xia Yangyang the owner of this ne. But Gu Qichen, you spent a hundred million to protect a thief, doesn’t your conscience hurt?”


    Gu Qichen coldly said, “Yangyang could not possibly be a thief. I will investigate this matter thoroughly.”


    Shen Manbing said, “On what basis do you believe she is not a thief? The ne was in her bag, and the person and the stolen goods were caught together.”


    “She has no reason to do so, absolutely no reason. She’s not a person who desires wealth and luxury.”


    Shen Manbing, however,ughed, “She has a big reason to do so, not for the value of the ne but to frame me.”


    Gu Qichen affirmed, “Yangyang is not that kind of person.”


    “Gu Qichen, you saw it with your own eyes. When you arrived, everyone was talking, almost everyone thought I’m arrogant and I’m trying to frame Xia Yangyang. She stole the ne, arranged to be caught, and then med me. What a perfect scheme of a thief crying thief! Gu Qichen, she is far moreplicated than you think.”


    “I believe Yangyang would not do this.”


    “Gu Qichen, what about the truth? When it was time for a search, she was so calm, even voluntarily handed over her bag. Would a normal person react this way? Everything has been calcted by her.”


    Gu Qichen calmly said, “You misunderstood. She doesn’t have such a tactic. I will investigate this matter and give you an exnation.”


    Shen Manbing was outraged, “You all have been blinded by her. Gu Qichen, I used to see you as a calm and wise person. Why are you so confused about this matter? What kind of magic has she cast on you that has you all spinning around? Fine, I’ll wait for it. I’ll wait for you to investigate and give me an exnation. If you can’t rify it, I absolutely won’t let her go. I, Shen Manbing, am not easily bullied, don’t me me for not sparing your precious little wife.”


    Shen Manbing left in her high heels.


    While Xia Yangyang remained standing there.


    Her heart gradually became cold and numb.


    So it turns out, this ne was not a pre-nned gift by Gu Qichen, but an impromptu “rescue”.


    And Gu Qichen did not tell her the truth, he did not even mention a word about it in the hour after they came to the exhibition hall.


    Xia Yangyang was originally immersed in a huge surprise.


    But it all turned out to be an illusion.


    Why would Gu Qichen save the situation? Is it to “prove” his innocence, or is he afraid that Shen Manbing will take the me for the frame-up?
