Next came the second half of the jewelry exhibition, and Xing Nian and Qi Anran walked into the venue together.

The jewels originally worn on the models are now neatly placed in display cabinets for people to appreciate up close.

Under the light, these jewels emit dazzling light, as if lighting up the entire venue.

The venue was crowded with people, many of whom showed great interest in these jewels and placed orders to buy them.

Qi Anran also took a fancy to the pieces of jewelry mentioned earlier, so she walked straight to the staff and prepared to make the purchases.

Before leaving, he looked at Xing Nian with disdain, as if to say, "Such a poor person is not allowed in. When will the International Jewelry Exhibition allow these low-class people to come in?"

Xing Nian felt the disdain in the rich lady's eyes. She looked at her own clothes and didn't find anything wrong.

She didn't understand why this rich lady would have such emotions towards her. But Xing Nian didn't care and continued to admire the jewelry.

Xing Nian wandered around the exhibition hall, admiring the various jewels, and was unknowingly mesmerized.

Suddenly, a staff member accidentally bumped into her and the water in the cup spilled on her.

The staff panicked and apologized, but Xing Nian just smiled and waved her hands, saying that it was not a big deal and she just needed to go to the bathroom to deal with it.

Xing Nian came to the bathroom, put her bag on the sink, then picked up the hair dryer next to her and started drying her clothes.

The water splashed on the lower part of her clothes, so she didn't take off her clothes, but just used a hair dryer to blow on her clothes.

From time to time, someone came into the bathroom to touch up their makeup, but Xing Nian's attention was focused on her clothes and she didn't notice the people coming in.

After her clothes were dry, she looked in the mirror to make sure that there was nothing wrong with her appearance, then picked up her bag and left the bathroom.

At this moment, Xing Nian's cell phone rang. It was Mu Huaichen calling. After the two chatted for a while, Xing Nian hung up the phone. However, at this moment, she smelled a faint smell of alcohol.

Xing Nian stretched out his arm and smelled it, and found that there was no smell of alcohol on him.

She looked at her bag in confusion and found that there was indeed a faint smell of alcohol.

Xing Nian saw two figures in the corner.

For some reason, some bad premonitions suddenly flashed through Xing Nian's mind.

After buying the jewelry she liked, Qi Anran looked everywhere for Xing Nian.

She walked around most of the exhibition hall but still didn't see Xing Nian.

Just as she was wondering where Xing Nian had gone, there was a sudden surge of people in the exhibition hall, and a group of bodyguards in black suits surrounded the entrance to the exhibition hall.

Qi Anran looked at all this with a confused look on his face, not knowing what was going on.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked onto the stage and introduced himself as Mr. Manwei, the organizer of this jewelry exhibition.

Mr. Manwei said that a piece of jewelry worth tens of millions was lost at this jewelry exhibition. They suspected that the lost jewelry was still at the scene, so they asked the guests present to cooperate with them to find the lost treasure.

The news shocked the guests present, and some even began to whisper, speculating whether the loss of the jewelry was man-made.

However, most people do not believe this speculation, because the people who come to this jewelry exhibition are either rich or noble. For them, although these jewels are expensive, they are not worth the risk of stealing.

Qi Anran was also very surprised. She turned around and saw Xing Nian. Just as she was about to ask her where she had been, Xing Nian made a gesture to silence her, signaling her to be quiet.

The two men turned their eyes to Mr. Manwei on the stage again and listened carefully to his speech.

Under the gaze of everyone, Mr. Manwei walked to the display case where the jewelry was lost. The jewelry necklace that was originally worth tens of millions was nowhere to be found.

The exhibition hall was silent and the atmosphere was tense and solemn.

At this time, a wealthy lady in gorgeous clothes, Mrs. Wei, muttered quietly: "I have seen a girl standing near this display case for a long time. Could it be that she did it?"

As soon as she finished speaking, someone in the crowd echoed: "Mr. Manwei, there was indeed a lady standing near this display case for a long time before. Maybe the loss of the jewels is related to her."

Everyone's eyes turned to the person who spoke, who was Mrs. Wei who had looked disdainfully at Xing Nian before. She raised her chin proudly, as if she had found the real culprit.

"Mrs. Wei, those who can come here are either rich or noble. How could they bother to steal? Please don't wrongly accuse a good person." Someone stood up to speak for Xing Nian, but the voice was quickly drowned out by the discussions.

Mr. Manwei walked up to Xing Nian and said seriously, "Miss, we found on the surveillance that you stood near the display case for a long time. After you left, the jewels in the display case disappeared. Therefore, we have reason to suspect that the loss of the jewels is related to you."

At this time, everyone looked at Xing Nian, who calmly explained:

"I didn't steal the jewels. I admit that I did stand near this display case for a long time, but it would be too arbitrary for you to conclude that I stole the jewels just because I stood there for a long time."

At this time, Mrs. Wei, with a haughty attitude and a scornful smile on her lips, said in a loud voice: "Ms. Xing, if you didn't steal, then let them check. Wouldn't that prove your innocence? Why are you so resistant?" Her words were full of a sense of justice, as if she was really upholding justice for everyone, but in fact she was inciting people.

People at the scene began to whisper, and echoed Mrs. Wei's statement.

However, these people of status all know that asking to check personal belongings in public is extremely embarrassing and humiliating for anyone.

But at this moment, they chose to remain silent. After all, this humidifier had nothing to do with them, so they just had to prepare for the moment with a look of watching spectators.

Xing Nian took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.

She looked directly at Mrs. Wei, with a sharp light in her eyes: "Mrs. Wei, I don't know you, and we have never had any intersection before. I don't understand why you are targeting me and inciting people? What is your purpose in doing this?"

Mrs. Wei was caught off guard by Xing Nian's question. She began to look away and stammered, "I... I don't know you, but the facts are in front of us. In the entire exhibition hall, you were the only one who stood near this display case for a long time, and after you left, the jewelry disappeared. The surveillance also confirmed my statement. Anyone would suspect it was you. I just expressed the doubts in everyone's hearts. How can you say that I am inciting people?"

Just as Xing Nian was about to speak, Mr. Manwei suddenly interrupted. He stood in front of Xing Nian with a serious face, and his voice was full of unquestionable majesty: "Miss, please cooperate with our inspection."

Xing Nian's eyes immediately turned cold. She looked directly at Mr. Manwei and said firmly, "What if I don't cooperate?"
