Chapter 485


    The manager turned around and immediately recognized Scott Huang. The expression on his face


    changed slightly, and he said, "Director Huang, someone has stolen a diamond ring worth 100,000


    from our exhibition booth. We are asking this gentleman to cooperate with the investigation."


    "Cooperate with the investigation?" Scott grunted coldly, ring at the manager. He continued


    speaking in anger, "Is this what you mean by cooperating with the investigation? Asking the security


    guards to take action?"


    The manager tried to exin, "Director Huang, I have no choice. We asked this gentleman to assist


    in the investigation, but he did not cooperate. Therefore, we are forced to--"


    "Rubbish! "Scott retorted directly, interrupting his words.


    "Do you know who he is?" Scott pointed at Fade and asked angrily.


    At this moment, all the people around them had curious and confused expressions. They nced at


    Scott and Fade .


    The manager had a slight change of expression, saying, "I don''t know who this gentleman is, can


    you rify for me?"


    "He is my—" Scott was about to speak.


    At this moment, a clear booming voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Scott''s words. "Oh, isn''t this


    Director Huang?


    The crowd looked towards the direction of the voice. They spotted Szar Xu and Rowena Song


    walking towards them, side by side, with smiles on their faces.


    When the surrounding guests saw Szar and Rowena, they immediately started to chatter, and


    some of them even started greeting them with enthusiasm.


    Scott''s face fell, and he nced at Szar, saying coldly, "Mr. Xu, why are you here?"


    Szar seemingly did not notice the anger on Scott''s face. He said with a smile, "Nothing really, I


    just caught sight of Director Huang here, and came over to greet you."


    Szar then acted rather surprised, as he pointed at Fade, saying, "Oh, is this not the second


    largest shareholder of Scott Entertainment, President Fade Chen? Director Huang and President


    Chen, you are both here at the jewelry exhibition together."


    As soon as he said these words, the surrounding guests were astonished. They fixed their gazes at


    Fade.


    They would never have imagined that Fade, with his simple attire and suspicious demeanor, would


    be the secondrgest shareholder of Scott Entertainment.


    For a moment, the sound of whispers could be heard again.


    "I didn''t expect him to be a shareholder of Scott Entertainment."


    "Yeah, I can''t see it at all."


    "If he is a shareholder, then he probably would not need to steal the diamond ring!"


    "That''s not necessarily true. Some rich people stillmit theft."


    "Yes, besides, look at his appearance. Who knows whether this shareholder is nominal or financial."


    Listening to the gossip and spection around him,Scott''s expression gradually sank. He nced


    at Szar and seemed rather distracted.


    He then yelled loudly, "What kind of joke is this, Brother Fade is like a brother to me. If he wanted


    the whole Scott Entertainment enterprise, he would have it with one sentence. He would not need


    this diamond ring."


    "You think Brother Fade will be short of 100,000 and steal this ring?" Scott red fiercely at the


    exhibition booth manager.


    The exhibition booth manager was silent as he gazed at Scott. He did not respond.


    At this moment, Szar spoke again, "Director Huang is such a loyal man. He stands by his own


    major shareholders, that is truly admirable indeed!"


    "However, there is something that I don''t understand at all. President Chen is Director Huang''s


    brother, but why does he dress so shabbily.lt is really confusing indeed!"


    Szar intentionally tried to insinuate that Fade was not who he imed to be. This caused the


    crowd to be skeptical of Fade.


    At the same time, Rowena added fuel to the fire, saying, "This President Chen, I seem to remember


    him as well. It seemed like just a few days ago, he apanied another man to cause trouble at


    ourpany. However,he was driven out by the people at ourpany. They thought he was


    maybe a farmer or migrant worker. No one would have expected that Mr. Chen had such a high


    status. I''m afraid there was some misunderstanding at that time!"


    Rowena deliberately miscontrued the situation in regards to Fade''s assistance of Big Brother Liu,


    exaggerating the facts.


    Her words instantly changed the perception of the crowd.


    Everyone became even more skeptical about Fade, and their expressions flickered.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    When Scott heard this, the expression on his face fell, and he became furious. He said, "What are


    you trying to insinuate? How dare you suspect my brother of theft. I don''t think you are aware of his


    true identity,you- "


    Without waiting for Scott to finish speaking,Szar spoke again, "Director Huang, there is no need


    to lose your temper! We are all aware of the honorable status of President Chen. However, valuable


    items are missing. This is not a situation that anyone wishes for. It would be better to resolve this


    issue as quickly as possible. That would be of utmost importance right now."


    "Well, I''ll take the lead and let the manager inspect me, so that I can prove my innocence!"


    As he spoke, Szar had a self- righteous expression on his face. He took off his jacket, opened


    his bag, and then spread out his arms, looking as though he was inviting the manager to inspect


    him.


    The manager nced at Szar. His eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Director Xu, you are a


    man of great integrity. Many apologies in advance for having to inspect you."


    Having said that, the manager stepped forward and frisked Szar, inspecting him thoroughly,


    rummaging through almost all his pockets.


    Finally, the manager shook his head and made a bow to President Xu, saying, " I did not find the


    diamond ring, many apologies to you, President Xu!"


    Szar put on his jacket with a smile, seemingly unaffected, and said, "This is a trivial matter, no


    worries at all. Besides, by doing this, I can assist in this matter. Anyhow, everyone present is a


    suspect in this case. Anyone who is unwilling to undergo inspection will not be able to leave this


    venue!"


    Szar''s actions and words were well-rehearsed.


    People instantly perceived him to be a fair and just person. Inparison, Scott and Fade seemed


    petty, and gave people the impression of being guilty.


    Thus, the crowd''s discussion became more heated, and the volume of their voices became higher.


    At the same time, some people imitated Szar and began to take off their jackets for inspection.


    As a result, the atmosphere at the scene became rather bizarre.


    As each person took the initiative to be inspected, Scott and Fade seemed to be backed into a


    corner, causing them even more embarrassment.


    Everyone was inspected in this way one after the other, and still the diamond ring was not found.


    Finally, everyone''s eyes fell on Scott and Fade. Of course, Scott had arrivedter, therefore


    everyone looked at Fade with suspicion.


    In the end, the cold eyes of the exhibition booth manager fell on Fade again, and he said, "


    President Chen, many apologies. You are the only one left that hasn''t gone through the inspection.


    Sorry to trouble you and hope you can cooperate with us."


    Fade''s face was gloomy, and Scott''s eyes were red with anger.


    In this situation, it did not matter if Fade underwent inspection. The final result would still be a failure


    for them.


    After all, letting Fade be a public suspect of crime was a shameful failure in itself.
