Chapter 113: Face Slapping in Progress

“Qiao Nian, enough! Do you get joy out of targeting Qingqing?” Luo Chen couldn’t help but express his anger towards Qing Nian .

“Luo Chen, I’m the one who’s had enough with you! You don’t analyze the situation and just take her side . It looks like she even seduced your soul away!”

Xu Ningning, who stood by Qiao Nian, couldn’t help but chime in, “Niannian was just worried . How did she target Qiao Qing with what she had said?”

Then, she raised the cellphone in her hand, “I had just called the administration department of the museum . I believe, before long, the museum workers who look after national artifacts will be here . As to whether or not that set of Go was stolen, the state will be the judge of that!”

Xu Ningning’s words made everyone at the scene exchange glances .

They thought it was a pity that a nice birthday dinner was about to be ruined, but they also had high expectations for what was about to happen next .

After all, everyone somewhat detested the rich and were jealous of them . If this set of Go pieces were truly that great, then why should others get it if they themselves can’t?

Mu Jinghang elbowed Jun Yexuan’s arm, “Third bro, what do we do? The museum personnel is coming . Shouldn’t you help sister-in-law?”

Jun Yexuan said, “Mhmm, go ensure there is no traffic so that the workers don’t get stuck on the way here . ”

“???” Mu Jinghang asked, “You aren’t scared that the set of Go sister-in-law has is the stolen artifact from the museum?”

Jun Yexuan lifted his wine glass off the table and drank it all in one gulp . Then, he dropped it back onto the table with a “bang”, “I trust her . ”

Mu Jinghang then felt his heart do a somersault . He looked around and made sure nobody had noticed . Only then, did he grab onto Jun Yexuan’s arm, “Third bro, are you crazy? Why did you take off your mask? Plus, this wine is so low quality, how are you drinking it?”

Jun Yexuan thought the timing was about right then . He put his mask back on and turned his head to glare at Mu Jinghang, “Why aren’t you going?”

Mu Jinghang then replied, “Yes, yes, yes . ”

After all this, nobody was in the mood to think about other things . Everyone waited for the arrival of the museum personnel .

Qiao Zhizhuo suddenly felt like he was holding onto a hot potato .

Hesitant, he asked, “Qingqing, where did you get this?”

Qiao Qing kicked up a foot, lifted a stool with that kick, and then sat on it, “No comment . ”

Her words made her seem even more suspicious .

As expected, the ugliness on Qiao Zhizhuo’s face turned more obvious .

Ye Hong laughed . “If you are scared, then give it to me!”

Qiao Zhizhuo truly was scared . But despite hearing this, his hand remained close to the Go pieces and refused to let go .

Before long, a jolt of sirens was heard . Then, a group of people wearing uniforms entered the dining hall .

The man leading the group glanced over everyone, then asked with a serious expression, “Who’s Qiao Qing?”

Qiao Qing didn’t even get up . She merely lifted her head a little, “It’s me . ”

The man flashed his ID, “I’m an employee of the City of Brisk Museum, I’m also the caretaker the state had sent to deal with this matter . We just got a call about the possibility of a stolen artifact being here, so we need to investigate . I hope we have your cooperation so we do not need to escalate this to the judicial authorities . ”

Qiao Qing used her chin to point at the set of Go in Qiao Zhizuo’s arms, “There . ”

The employee hurriedly walked up there and snatched over the Go pieces from Qiao Zhizhuo’s hands .

When he saw the pattern carved on the box, he was a little stunned .

Qiao Nian and Xu Ningning closely observed his facial expression . When they saw his startled expression, they felt a shot of happiness .

As for Mu Jinghang, who just returned from completing his task, he thought to himself, [It’s over, it’s over] .

The employee opened the Go box, then the Go bowl . He picked up a stone and rubbed it between his fingers . Immediately, he gasped in awe .
