Chapter 58: The arrogance of class

"Let's not wear this brooch for the event first."

Xu Junhuan said, raising his eyes to take a deep look at Shen Jingjing, his gaze cold. "Big sister, we are going out in a while. If the brooch was really taken by you, you can take advantage of the time we are away to send it back. I guarantee I won't pursue any of your responsibilities."

He felt that this approach already gave the other party face, and the handling method was also very gentle.

But Shen Jingjing was upright and had nothing to fear, clarifying again, "Two gentlemen, I have worked in the hotel for more than ten years and have never taken any items from guests. If the lost items are really important to you, then I still suggest you call the police to avoid unnecessary losses."

"You..." Seeing that Shen Jingjing was actually impervious to reason, the lean man was furious and cursed loudly, "Don't be ungrateful! Do you really think we have no way to deal with you?"

Shen Jingjing was very angry at the other party's false accusation and arrogant and rude attitude, but she couldn't use excessive language in her position, so she could only turn her head away angrily and ignore it.

The manager had worked with Shen Jingjing for a long time and naturally understood her character. He couldn't help but speak up to help, "Two gentlemen, please calm down. It's not that I'm protecting our employees; this is an old employee who has worked in the hotel for more than ten years. She has also helped guests find huge amounts of cash left in guest rooms before, but she contacted the guests to return them as soon as possible. Our housekeeping department even has a 'honest and upright' banner sent by guests."

"Huge amounts of cash are so conspicuous that she naturally has to return them. Could it be that she could stuff them into her pocket and take them away? That brooch is different. Who would notice if she stuffed it somewhere and stole it?" The lean man was relentless, glaring at Shen Jingjing and mocking, "Not even wearing a work badge, isn't it because she is guilty and afraid that we will remember her name?"

"Mom?"

As soon as the words fell, Shen Ci's voice sounded from the door of the room.

The tense atmosphere in the room stagnated. Everyone looked up one after another. When they saw Shen Ci, the housekeeping manager and the lean man were subconsciously stunned, while Xu Junhuan was directly dumbfounded.

Is it her?

The girl who sat next to him on the plane yesterday but didn't know him!

He shifted his gaze to look at this service worker in the housekeeping department, the only female in this room who could possibly be her mother.

"I sent your work badge to you. I looked for you all the way from the 26th floor. I sent you a message, but you didn't reply."

Shen Jingjing took the work badge and put it on her clothes. As if she didn't want her daughter to see this scene where she was being framed, Shen Jingjing urged, "Mom is working. You go back first."

There were only a few people in the room, and Shen Ci naturally recognized Xu Junhuan. Although she didn't know the whole story, she had vaguely heard a few words in the corridor just now.

She responded to the other party's words just now: "My mother is not guilty. She forgot her work badge at home this morning, so she didn't wear it."

"Aci, this has nothing to do with you. You go back first, be obedient." Shen Jingjing knew her daughter's personality and didn't want her to have a verbal conflict with the two men, so she couldn't help but reach out and pull her daughter's arm, trying to let her leave first.

Shen Ci looked at her mother and said softly, "Mom, don't be afraid. I have a sense of propriety."

Turning her head, she looked directly at Xu Junhuan and asked expressionlessly, "What did you lose? Where did you lose it? When did you lose it?"

Xu Junhuan didn't seem to expect that the other party would be so calm, and actually asked him directly as soon as she opened her mouth.

"You recall it carefully. My mother, as a hotel staff member, has the obligation to help you handle such events, but as the person involved, you also have the responsibility to recall all the details seriously." Shen Ci added.

Shen Jingjing, who originally wanted to persuade her daughter to leave, heard her daughter's words and nodded inexplicably, feeling that her daughter's words made sense.

The lean man originally thought this girl was quite beautiful, and his attention had been staying on her face. As a result, this girl's words angered him: "Who are you? Do you know who you are talking to..."

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Xu Junhuan patting his shoulder. He looked at Xu Junhuan in confusion, only to see Xu Junhuan say seriously, "I lost a diamond brooch in this hotel room. I don't remember exactly when it disappeared."

He answered the three questions Shen Ci asked.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ci asked again, "When did you last see such a valuable brooch, and where?"

"Last night, in the room."

"Were you alone at that time?"

Xu Junhuan shook his head. "No, there were others."

Seeing that the two were chatting, the lean man couldn't help but interject, "After we arrived at the hotel last night, the brand sent clothes and the brooch. The clothes were hanging in the wardrobe at the door, but the brooch was missing."

"Then did you see this brooch again this morning before my mother entered the room?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed in Xu Junhuan's eyes, but he still shook his head honestly. "I didn't pay attention, but the brand put the box containing the brooch on the table when they came yesterday. I saw the box, but I didn't open it specifically to look at the brooch. When I opened it, the brooch was already gone."

Shen Ci said, "That is to say, the last time you saw the brooch was last night, and at that time there were many people in your room, including your team and the brand's people."

"Then how do you determine that this brooch was lost after my mother entered the room?"

Xu Junhuan choked, hesitated, and explained, "I just asked the others on the team, and they all..."

"They all said they didn't take it?" Shen Ci interrupted Xu Junhuan and sneered. "My mother also said she didn't take it. Why is it true when your people say they didn't take it, but it's sophistry when my mother says she didn't take it?"

Xu Junhuan was speechless because Shen Ci's logic had no loopholes to drill. They indeed had no substantial evidence, just because...

The height and arrogance of class!

This sentence flashed through Xu Junhuan's mind, making his brows tighten, and he finally realized that he had made a principled mistake.

He shouldn't be like this!

Shen Ci turned and walked to the door, closed the door, and then walked back to look at the people in the room. "You believe your people, and the hotel believes my mother. This is all understandable. But the brooch won't grow legs or wings and fly away by itself. If no one else has really entered this room, then it is highly likely that it is still in this room."

After saying this, she didn't delay any time and took the initiative to search. "Everyone together, look carefully again."

She came to the door and opened the wardrobe. The suit sent by the brand was hanging in the wardrobe. Shen Ci's original intention was to start searching from the door, but she didn't want to, when she reached out to take down the suit jacket hanging inside, a shiny brooch was hanging on the clothes!
