Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 485

The manager turned around and immediately recognized Scott Huang. The expression on his face changed slightly, and he said, "Director Huang, someone has stolen a diamond ring worth 100,000 from our exhibition booth. We are asking this gentleman to cooperate with the investigation."

"Cooperate with the investigation?" Scott grunted coldly, glaring at the manager. He continued speaking in anger, "Is this what you mean by cooperating with the investigation? Asking the security guards to take action?"

The manager tried to explain, "Director Huang, I have no choice. We asked this gentleman to assist in the investigation, but he did not cooperate. Therefore, we are forced to--"

"Rubbish! "Scott retorted directly, interrupting his words.

"Do you know who he is?" Scott pointed at Fade and asked angrily.

At this moment, all the people around them had curious and confused expressions. They glanced at Scott and Fade.

The manager had a slight change of expression, saying, "I don't know who this gentleman is, can you clarify for me?" "He is my " Scott was about to speak.

At this moment, a clear booming voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Scott's words. "Oh, isn't this Director Huang?

The crowd looked towards the direction of the voice. They spotted Salazar Xu and Rowena Song walking towards them, side by side, with smiles on their faces.

When the surrounding guests saw Salazar and Rowena, they immediately started to chatter, and some of them even started greeting them with enthusiasm.

Scott's face fell, and he glanced at Salazar, saying coldly, "Mr. Xu, why are you here?"

Salazar seemingly did not notice the anger on Scott's face. He said with a smile, "Nothing really, I just caught sight of Director Huang here, and came over to greet you."

Salazar then acted rather surprised, as he pointed at Fade, saying, "Oh, is this not the second largest shareholder of Scott Entertainment, President Fade Chen? Director Huang and President Chen, you are both here at the jewelry exhibition together."

As soon as he said these words, the surrounding guests were astonished. They fixed their gazes at Fade.

They would never have imagined that Fade, with his simple attire and suspicious demeanor, would be the second largest shareholder of Scott Entertainment.

For a moment, the sound of whispers could be heard again.

"I didn't expect him to be a shareholder of Scott Entertainment."

"Yeah, I can't see it at all."

"If he is a shareholder, then he probably would not need to steal the diamond ring!"

"That's not necessarily true. Some rich people still commit theft."

"Yes, besides, look at his appearance. Who knows whether this shareholder is nominal or financial."

Listening to the gossip and speculation around him, Scott's expression gradually sank. He glanced at Salazar and seemed rather distracted.

He then yelled loudly, "What kind of joke is this, Brother Fade is like a brother to me. If he wanted the whole Scott Entertainment enterprise, he would have it with one sentence. He would not need this diamond ring."

"You think Brother Fade will be short of 100,000 and steal this ring?" Scott glared fiercely at the exhibition booth manager.

The exhibition booth manager was silent as he gazed at Scott. He did not respond.

At this moment, Salazar spoke again, "Director Huang is such a loyal man. He stands by his own major shareholders, that is truly admirable indeed!"

"However, there is something that I don't understand at all. President Chen is Director Huang's brother, but why does he dress so shabbily.It is really confusing indeed!"

Salazar intentionally tried to insinuate that Fade was not who he claimed to be. This caused the crowd to become skeptical of Fade.

At the same time, Rowena added fuel to the fire, saying, "This President Chen, I seem to remember him as well. It seemed like just a few days ago, he accompanied another man to cause trouble at our company. However, he was driven out by the people at our company. They thought he was maybe a farmer or migrant worker. No one would have expected that Mr. Chen had such a high status. I'm afraid there was some misunderstanding at that time!"

Rowena deliberately miscontrued the situation in regards to Fade's assistance of Big Brother Liu, exaggerating the facts.

Her words instantly changed the perception of the crowd.

Everyone became even more skeptical about Fade, and their expressions flickered.

When Scott heard this, the expression on his face fell, and he became furious. He said, "What are you trying to insinuate? How dare you suspect my brother of theft. I don't think you are aware of his true identity, you- "

Without waiting for Scott to finish speaking, Salazar spoke again, "Director Huang, there is no need to lose your temper! We are all aware of the honorable status of President Chen. However, valuable items are missing. This is not a situation that anyone wishes for. It would be better to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. That would be of utmost importance right now."

"Well, I'll take the lead and let the manager inspect me, so that I can prove my innocence!"

As he spoke, Salazar had a self- righteous expression on his face. He took off his jacket, opened his bag, and then spread out his arms, looking as though he was inviting the manager to inspect him.

The manager glanced at Salazar. His eyes flickered slightly, and he said, "Director Xu, you are a man of great integrity. Many apologies in advance for having to inspect you."

Having said that, the manager stepped forward and frisked Salazar, inspecting him thoroughly, rummaging through almost all his pockets.

Finally, the manager shook his head and made a bow to President Xu, saying, "I did not find the diamond ring, many apologies to you, President Xu!"

Salazar put on his jacket with a smile, seemingly unaffected, and said, "This is a trivial matter, no worries at all. Besides, by doing this, I can assist in this matter. Anyhow, everyone present is a suspect in this case. Anyone who is unwilling to undergo inspection will not be able to leave this venue!"

Salazar's actions and words were well-rehearsed.

People instantly perceived him to be a fair and just person. In comparison, Scott and Fade seemed petty, and gave people the impression of being guilty.

Thus, the crowd's discussion became more heated, and the volume of their voices became higher. At the same time, some people imitated Salazar and began to take off their jackets for inspection.

As a result, the atmosphere at the scene became rather bizarre.

As each person took the initiative to be inspected, Scott and Fade seemed to be backed into a corner, causing them even more embarrassment.

Everyone was inspected in this way one after the other, and still the diamond ring was not found. Finally, everyone's eyes fell on Scott and Fade. Of course, Scott had arrived later, therefore everyone looked at Fade with suspicion.

In the end, the cold eyes of the exhibition booth manager fell on Fade again, and he said, " President Chen, many apologies. You are the only one left that hasn't gone through the inspection. Sorry to trouble you and hope you can cooperate with us."

Fade's face was gloomy, and Scott's eyes were red with anger.

In this situation, it did not matter if Fade underwent inspection. The final result would still be a failure for them.

After all, letting Fade become a public suspect of crime was a shameful failure in itself.
