You know, there were only 5 people in the house that day. Gu Jianguo would definitely not do such a thing. A Ming and his wife believed that they did not do such a thing. Gu Shujie, who was the party involved, also had no such possibility.

Then the remaining Cheng Xiangru is the biggest possibility, especially since she always pointed all the problems to A Ming intentionally or unintentionally that day. In A Ming's view, Cheng Xiangru clearly wanted him to take the blame!

Moreover, she spilled the beans more than once, revealing her desire for money. All kinds of questions made A Ming think that Cheng Xiangru must be hiding something from them on purpose.

Originally, Li Baifeng didn't agree to follow Cheng Xiangru, but she couldn't resist A Ming's persuasion, and Cheng Xiangru seemed to be hiding something.

She had no choice but to follow A Ming's suggestion and planned to follow Cheng Xiangru secretly to see what she wanted to do.

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. If I keep talking, I will lose you." Seeing that Cheng Xiangru's back was about to disappear from sight, Li Baifeng hurriedly hung up the phone and followed closely.

Cheng Xiangru first returned to the area near the old house. She stood under a big tree and looked left and right. When she found that no one was paying attention to her, she quickly reached into the tree hole and pulled out something wrapped in a bag.

Then without even looking at it, he quickly put it into his pocket.

Li Baifeng, who had been squatting in the distance, took a complete picture of this scene.

At this time, she didn't quite believe A Ming's guess, but now she saw that maybe Cheng Xiangru was really the one who stole the watch.

However, Li Baifeng always listened to A Ming and did not step forward to expose Cheng Xiangru. Instead, he wanted to see what Cheng Xiangru wanted to do after she stole the watch.

Cheng Xiangru stuffed the watch hidden here into her pocket, and then left again in a hurry.

She had already inquired before that there was a watch shop in Xicheng Old Street that could recycle second-hand watches. They never asked about the origin of the watches and where Cheng Xiangru planned to sell the watches.

Soon, Cheng Xiangru, wearing a mask and hood, came to this watch recycling shop in Lao Cai.

She first pretended to be a customer and looked around in the store. It wasn't until the last customer left that she found the clerk and asked mysteriously: "Are you buying second-hand luxury watches?"

The clerk had seen many well-groomed people like Cheng Xiangru, so he was not surprised. "Yes, we can buy all kinds of expensive watches here. Madam, do you want to sell watches?"

"Yes, yes, I have a watch for sale." Cheng Xiangru looked surprised and took out the tightly wrapped watch from her trouser pocket.

Since the watch had been hidden in a tree hole, it was covered with a lot of insect droppings.

But at this moment, Cheng Xiangru couldn't care so much. She blew hard several times and then removed the cloth wrapping the watch, revealing the watch that had been wrapped intact inside.

"This is my watch. Please help me find out how much it's worth."

The clerk was a middle-aged man with gray hair. He took the watch that Cheng Xiangru regarded as a treasure, looked at it several times, but never said a word.

At this time, Cheng Xiangru could hardly stop looking at it. She snatched the watch back from the clerk's hand quickly and cursed in a low voice, "Are you going to accept the watch? Why do you keep looking at it without asking for a price?"

Facing Cheng Xiangru's rude behavior, the middle-aged man was not angry. He smiled and said, "Can I ask how you got your watch?"

Cheng Xiangru's face froze, but she quickly reacted and asked stiffly: "Don't you have rules and you can't ask the guests about the origin of their things?"

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot about it." The middle-aged man apologized proactively.

Cheng Xiangru didn't want to waste any more time here. She wanted to sell the watch as soon as possible and then pay back the money.

"Hey, aren't you collecting watches? How much can you charge for this watch?"

The middle-aged man smiled and stretched out a finger.

"One hundred thousand? Is this too low?" Cheng Xiangru frowned. Compared with the price she expected, this price was too low.

No, the middle-aged man was still shaking his head.

Cheng Xiangru suddenly felt excited. She thought of a greater possibility, with a look of ecstasy on her face, and even her voice couldn't help but tremble, "This, this can't be one million, right? Oops, Junda This guy is really, why did he give such a valuable thing to Shujie casually? He should have given it to me."

One million was enough to solve all Cheng Xiangru's worries. She could even use the extra money to buy Shujie a similar watch so that he would not realize that she had stolen his watch.

But soon, she rejected this idea. Now everyone agreed that A Ming was the thief. In this case, why would she spend more money? She could just let A Ming take the blame.

Wouldn't it be better for her to keep the extra money herself?

"We don't need to discuss it. If this watch is worth one million, just take it." Cheng Xiangru smiled so hard that she almost couldn't close her mouth. She handed the watch forward, hoping that the other party would give her the money quickly.

No matter what, the middle-aged man still had a smile on his face and did not put down the outstretched finger at all. "You guessed wrong. I mean, one thousand yuan, so I will accept this watch."

"What?" Cheng Xiangru thought she heard wrongly, and quickly took back her outstretched hand, looking at the middle-aged man warily, "Are you crazy? Tell me again how much it is?"

The middle-aged man shook his head, "I said, if you are willing to sell it, I will pay you a thousand yuan for the watch."

"One thousand yuan? How is that possible? This watch is worth 200,000 yuan. It is a foreign brand. If you want to send me away for a thousand yuan, you must be a liar. No, I won't sell my watch to you!" Cheng Xiangru was furious, stuffed her watch into her pocket, and left without looking back.

The middle-aged male clerk did not say anything to stop Cheng Xiangru. He just shook his head and whispered: "If I can pay a thousand yuan for a high imitation watch, I would rather see it so realistic. If you go to someone else's store, , it’s only a few hundred yuan at most, forget it, it’s okay if you don’t sell it, I’ll save some money.”

Cheng Xiangru left the watch store, cursing along the way, "What a bullshit watch store. I think it's 100% a liar. You want me to sell the watch for a thousand yuan. How is this possible? Bah!"

But not far out, Cheng Xiangru was in trouble again. The watch hadn't been sold, so it wasn't safe for her to keep it in her hand.

In the end, she couldn't do it, so she could only go back to the big tree, carefully wrapped the watch, and stuffed it into the hole again, and then left with peace of mind.
