"What about the ring?" "How did it turn to an egg?" "This...How???" Nan's steward face turned pale and he couldn't even complete a full sentence. He had always been responsible for the keys to the ancestral hall. Except for Nan patriarch, not even Nan Zhengzhou, the eldest son, was allowed to step into the ancestral hall without permission. How could the ring turn into an egg out of nowhere? This is bad!! This is really bad!! The value of this emerald ring cannot be measured simply by money. Everyone was panicking for a moment Nan patriarch suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice, "seal off the entire Nan premises and no one is allowed to leave their position!" The ancestral hall was heavily guarded everyday, and not even a fly could get in. The only chance for the ring to be stolen was today! Nan patriarch's sharp gaze swept over everyone, and finally said in a heavy tone, " if anyone has taken the ring, hand it over now and I will not hold it against you" As his words fell, the entire ancestral hall fell into a strange silence. Everyone remained silent with their heads down. Then Nan patriarch sneered, "I have given you a chance. Since you don't cherish it, don't blame me for being impolite! Search them!" At his command, four guards rushed in. From Nan Zhengzhou to the servants, no one was spared. Soon it was Nan Qing's turn Seeing several guards approaching her, she pretended to look scared and took two steps back. " Grandpa, this ring was originally meant for me. I have no reason to steal it. Do you really need to search me?" Nan Qing's words were not unreasonable. But However.... Handing it over willingly and having it taken secretly are two completely different things. The former was reasonable. But the latter was a serious issue of principle, the most unacceptable behaviour in the family. Nan Grandpa was about to speak but Nan Xinran preemptively spoke confidently, "if sister didn't steal it, why are you afraid of being searched? Don't you want to prove your innocence?" "The innocent need not to prove themselves." "I think you're just feeling guilty that is why you don't want to be searched!" Nan Zhengzhou felt uncomfortable hearing his own daughter being accused like this. He pulled Nan Xinran behind him and sternly scolded her, " How can you say that about your sister? She just came back don't scare her" "Dad, I'm just trying to clear my sister's name!" Nan Xinran pouted in grievance. Nan Qing watched quietly as Nan Xinran put on a show. When it was almost over, she calmly spoke up, " Dad, my sister is also thinking of me. Don't blame her. Anyways I have nothing to hide." "You....sigh" Nan Zhengzhou felt even more guilty towards Nan Qing after this incident, "Dad believes in you, you have always been a good daughter to me. On the side Nan Xinran saw everything and the smile on her lips grew wider....." She couldn't wait to see the moment when the body guards found the ring on Nan Qing. Everyone would be so angry. At this moment, Nan Qing had opened her arms and allowed the body guards to search her. There whole minutes passed, and the bodyguards found nothing but an old mobile phone and some loose change. How could this be possible? Nan Xinran was shocked and wide eyed. "Sister you are the only one left in the family to be searched" Nan Qing said. Nan Xinran was still in shock over the lost ring. When she heard Nan Qing's words, she walked up to the guards without thinking. "Go ahead and search me, this has nothing to do with me, I...." She stopped mid sentence when the bodyguards found the Emerald Green ring in her shirt pocket. The next second, she was pinned to the ground by the bodyguards. "Great! So the thief was actually in our own home" Nan grand father slammed the table and stood up, his Deep voice echoing in the ancestral hall. Did Nan Xinran steal the ring? Nan Zhengzhou and his wife were shocked. They were furious at the memory of Nan Xinran arrogant accusations against Nan Qing just moments before. " Xinran, our family has always been good to you. Your mother and I have taken care of you and raised you like our own child for so many years. How could you do such a despicable thing?" "You did what you did, but how dare you slander your sister? Zhao Huiqian questioned. Nan Xinran couldn't hear anything anymore. Her mind was blank, and she was completely bewildered. Could someone please tell her what was going on? Xinran was at loss for words. When she looked up, she met Nan Qing's smiling eyes, she understood immediately. It was Nan Qing, it was all Nan Qing!!!! It wasn't me, I swear it wasn't me! She sneered and said, it must have been her , she put the ring in my pocket while we were hugging just now. "Mom and dad, you have to believe me, I've been in the Nan family for so many years, when has anything ever been lost in our house? How could something like this happen as soon as Nan Qing came back?" What she said was true....! Except for Nan patriarch and Nan Zhengzhou couple, everyone else in the Nan family nodded in agreement. But.... Evidence was everything These two people were saying different things, and no one could tell who was telling the truth and who was lying. In the end, it was the Nan housekeeper who stepped in to meditate, "Since the ring has been found, let's just leave it at that...." Leave it at that??? How could they? Nan Qing narrowed her eyes and flatly rejected, "This matter cannot be left like this!" Looking at Nan Zhengzhou solemn expression behind her, Nan Qing said lightly, "Dad, can you please show everyone the surveillance footage in the ancestral hall? Then everything will be clear". Surveillance....?
