This description matched the necklace which Li Hua wore before. Even if Li Hua did not have it now, everyone knew that it was the necklace which Cao Kuan was talking about.
Bai Dian looked at Li Hua and said, “Show this gentleman your necklace. If it really belongs to their family, go to the police station to sort this out. After all, there’s no reason for anyone to take back something that was already given away.”
“Hey! Wait! You little girl, how can you talk like that? You’re right. We really shouldn’t ask to take back something we gave away, but my brother wanted to give it to Xia He! Not this woman! As for how this necklace ended up in her hands, she’s the only one who knows the truth!” Cao Kuan said as he pointed at Li Hua.
“That’s not true! Cao Zhai gave it to me! I didn’t steal it! He really gave it to me!” Li Hua explained.
Everyone here knew Li Hua’s character very well. She had always been jealous of Xia He and it was not surprising that she would steal other people’s things. After all, Li Hua had snatched the second female lead role which originally belonged to Bai Dian.
“Did Cao Zhai really give you that necklace personally? You have to be clear about whether he wants you to pass it to someone else or he wants to give it to you. You can’t be vague about such things,” Bai Dian asked.
Li Hua stammered and did not dare to tell the truth. She muttered softly,
“Anyway, it’s a gift from Cao Zhai. He gave it to me personally. I didn’t steal
For a moment, Bai Dian did not know how to deal with the issue. No matter how much she hated Li Hua, Li Hua was still a member of the art troupe. If Li Hua embarrassed herself, it was also an embarrassment for the art troupe. She could not let Cao Kuan take away either Li Hua or the item. Otherwise, that would be no different from a robbery, right?
“Since you’re saying that your brother gave it to someone else and my colleague is saying that your brother gave it to her personally, we don’t know who p s the one telling the truth. Let’s call the police! Let the police investigate this matter!” Bai Dian said seriously.
“No problem! But let me make it clear. If this woman really stole our family’s treasure, I won’t show any mercy. She’ll have to be dealt with accordingly.
That necklace is worth a lot of money. If she has stolen it, she’ll have to go to jail for at least five years. If any of you withhold any information, you will be considered an accomplice. So consider your move carefully. If you give it back to me now, I can let you off,” Cao Kuan said.
Time was very tight for him. He had been in the capital for too long and needed to go back to Hu City as soon as possible to manage his business. It was really not worth wasting time in the capital for such a small matter. He wanted to go back soon.
“You’d better think about it carefully. We can all testify for you and protect you. But if you lie, we won’t be able to protect you anymore and can only send you to the police station,” Bai Dian said.
“Tell us quickly! What’s going on! Don’t make everyone suffer with you!” Xiao Nan said anxiously as she grabbed Li Hua.
“l… L.. L..” Li Hua did not dare to look at anyone and was hesitant to speak up.
“Say something! Tell them the truth! They already said that they won’t hold you responsible! If they bully you, we’ll back you up! We’re not afraid of them!” a colleague from the art troupe shouted out.
“That’s right! They cannot come to the art troupe and bully us out of the blue!
Say something!’
“We’ll back you up!’
“We will support you! Just tell us the truth!”
“Don’t be afraid, we’re here!”
The art troupe members shouted loudly one after another. If Xia He was around, she would definitely feel touched. However, in Li Hua’s eyes, these yells were like curses meant to kill her.
Cao Zhai had indeed sent many gifts to the art troupe, but they were all for Xia He and had nothing to do with her. After the security guard at the door rejected him many times, Cao Zhai wanted to get someone from the art troupe to pass the gifts to Xia He. In the end, he found Li Hua.
Li Hua had deliberately approached Cao Zhai. She had always told everyone that her family was doing quite well, but in fact, they did not even have enough money to eat. She had put in a lot of effort to join the art troupe. If she had been diligent and spent more time on dance practice, she might have been able to make a name for herself.
However, she was very vain and could not bear to see anyone owning nice things. In fact, she was the real cause of the art troupe members often finding their things missing..
