Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 484

In this way, Fade Chen followed the crowd and arrived at a small exhibition booth. This booth belonged to a small-scale jewelry company. Their exhibits weren't very special. The materials and the design of their jewelries were ordinary. Fade showed little interest in these items. After a few glances, he moved on to the next booth.

On the other side, Salazar Xu and Rowena Song were eyeing Fade. At this moment, when they saw Fade walking alone, both their faces lit up with delight. They made a signal to the staff at the booth. Suddenly, a middle-aged man who looked like a manager walked out from the booth. With a nervous expression, he said out loud, "Oh, this is bad. Help me look for it. Hurry!"

Upon hearing such an anxious cry, the surrounding guests couldn't help but turn their attention to him. All of them piped up," What happened? What's the problem?"

The manager was visibly anxious and he said in a loud voice, "I just noticed that a diamond ring worth 100,000 yuan from our booth has gone missing. Maybe we just misplaced it. Everyone, please help us to look for it."

The manager's tone was humble and polite. Many of the guests present that day were honorable and well-known. They did not want their names to be associated with the word 'thief', so they frantically helped to look around for it. Some people even opened their handbags and briefcases to show that the jewelry wasn't inside, in order to prove their innocence.

As a result of this chaos, the guests at the other booths became curious and they drew closer to this booth. More people started to crowd around them.

At this moment, the manager pretended to look for the ring around the guests in front of the exhibits while saying, "All the guests here are VIPs. I'm sure you all don't care about such a small sum of money and a ring like that. There are many people attending this exhibition today. I'm afraid there might have been some strange people among us who used this opportunity to steal the ring. That's why I need all of your help to recall if you've seen anyone suspicious earlier."

The guests frowned, but nobody wanted to offend anyone else. Therefore, no one spoke for a while.

Thus, the manager said with a loud voice, "Have any of you seen someone who was dressed very casually? Maybe you saw someone who's not from this industry, and perhaps they left this booth in a haste." After the manager planted this thought in their heads, some guests suddenly remembered Fade who was with them earlier. After all, Fade's attire did seem a little plain among such VIPs. In addition to this, Fade only took one look at the booth and left very quickly. He matched every single detail the manager had just described.

Therefore, everyone was suspicious of Fade.

Some of them whispered to the manager and pointed toward the direction he went.

Upon hearing this, the manager frowned. Together with a few other staff members, they headed to where Fade was resting.

Fade didn't pay attention to what was happening. He saw a bunch of people heading toward him, and he felt that something wasn't right. He frowned.

The manager of the booth approached Fade. Although his expression was calm, there was a hint of suspicion in his tone when he asked, "Sir, I just want to ask you a few questions."

Upon hearing his tone, Fade frowned even more. Looking at them, he said coldly, "What's the matter?"

The manager dived straight in. He said in a straightforward manner, "We have a diamond ring worth 100,000 yuan exhibited at our booth earlier, but now it has gone missing. Earlier, I noticed that you were at our booth, so I was wondering if you saw anything?"

As soon as these words left his mouth, Fade naturally understood that he was being accused of stealing the diamond ring.

Immediately, Fade frowned and said, "I didn't see it."

Upon hearing this, the manager frowned as well. His face turned cold and he glared at Fade. With an icy tone, he asked, "Do you mind if we ask you to undergo inspection?"

"What do you mean by this?" Fade's expression turned ice-cold. Looking at the manager, he said, "I told you, I didn't see your diamond ring."

The manager did not flinch, and he said in a low voice, "Sir, I think it's best if you let us check you. Otherwise, we won't be able to prove your innocence. If it's not on you, then that would make things easier for the both of us."

Fade said coldly, "Why do I need to prove my innocence, just because you guys are accusing me?"

The manager said coldly, "Sir, we would like to settle this matter in a calm and orderly manner. If you don't cooperate with us, I'm afraid I might need to be rude."

Fade looked at the manager and said coldly, "Cooperate with you? Why should I cooperate with your inspection just because you think that I am suspicious. What if the situation was reversed? Now, I think that you have stolen 10,000 yuan from me. Does this mean I can check your pockets too?"

The manager's expression at this moment was cold. He glared at Fade and said, "Sir, please be reasonable. Otherwise, things will get ugly."

One of the surrounding guests took the lead and laughed sarcastically. He said, "Hey everyone, look at this guy. He brags that he has 10,000 yuan while looking like this. He should come up with a better lie." With someone taking the lead, the surrounding guests immediately chuckled in glee.

"I think it was this kid who stole the ring. Look at him, he looks exactly like a thief."

"That's right, if you look at the way he's dressed, he definitely doesn't fit in with us."

"Haha, I'm sure his guilty conscience is eating him up. The ring must be on him, that's why he doesn't want to let the manager check him."

For a while, everyone surrounding Fade was pointing at him. They couldn't help whispering about him. In their eyes, they seemed sure that Fade was the thief.

At this moment, the manager shouted for two burly security guards to come over. As they stood in front of Fade, the manager's eyes were serious and cold. He said, "Sir, this is the last time I'm warning you. Please cooperate with our inspection. Otherwise, we won't be polite anymore."

Fade looked at the manager coldly and said, "I have already told you that I didn't take your diamond ring. I have no idea what's going on."

The manager fixed his gaze on him. Anger was revealed on his face. Then, he waved his hand and said," Since you'e not cooperative, I'm afraid that we have to take action against you."

While saying this, the two security guards and the two other staff members from the manager's booth walked toward Fade. They stretched out their hands and they were about to press Fade down. The manager also walked over, and he was prepared to conduct an inspection.

Fade's eyes were cold, and he was prepared to make his move.

However, at this moment, a shout rang out. "Everyone stop!"

Immediately, the crowd parted. A corpulent young man walked over with a solemn expression.

Seeing this man, the guests at the scene were shocked. They started whispering.

"Wait, isn't this the boss from Scott Entertainment, Director Huang?"

"Yeah, why is he here? He's even helping this thief?"

"Do they know each other?"

"That's highly unlikely. Director Huang and this thief are on two completely different levels."

Among the whispers of the crowd, Fatty Huang glared at the manager with an ice-cold stare, saying," What do you think you're doing?"
