Chapter 484 It Was Her

Meng Yu, although filled with worry, said, “Calling the police will make public opinion difficult to manage. Listen to me; tell the police it was a misunderstanding and don’t call them.”
However, the insurance company people were completely uncooperative, making Meng Yu anxious. She knew it wouldn’t be easy to get the insurance claim, but if Song Fan didn’t call the police, her and Xu Wen’s plan could continue, and she might even get compensation.
She had assumed that Song Fan, to avoid impacting the jewelry brand’s promotion, wouldn’t call the police. To her surprise, Song Fan agreed.
“Call the police! Such a valuable necklace, and an antique at that. The insurance payout must be in the billions, right?” Song Fan raised an eyebrow, “The insurance company would have to call the police.”
Just as Meng Yu was about to stop her, Meng Xia surprisingly agreed, “Yes, call the police. I want to see who dares to steal my stuff!”
When the police arrived, they conducted a serious investigation, but it coincidentally happened when the company’s surveillance system was under maintenance, and the cameras were off that afternoon.
Lan Yue exchanged a glance with Song Fan and discreetly took out her phone, quickly hacking into the Song Corporation’s surveillance system.
After everyone left, Lan Yue approached Song Fan, “Boss, their method is still the same; they just delete the footage, but the police can probably recover it.”
“Did you find the thief?” Song Fan asked.
“That’s the problem.” Lan Yue showed the footage, “No one behaved suspiciously. I also checked the office area. Meng Xia took a manila envelope out, but she doesn’t seem like a thief. If she took it, isn’t she acting too genuine?”
Song Fan nodded. She also felt Meng Xia was unaware or not involved.
Song Fan sent Lan Yue home and hacked into the surveillance systems of nearby companies. She saw Meng Xia hand something to a woman, but the video was too blurry to identify her.
Recalling Meng Yu’s odd behavior that day, Song Fan devised a plan.
Meng Xia waited for everyone to leave and pulled Meng Yu aside, saying she had something to discuss.
Once they were in the restroom and confirmed they were alone, Meng Xia asked, “What did you make me give her? Was it the necklace in the manila envelope?”
“Just do as I say and stop questioning me.” Meng Yu was annoyed, “When Charlie gave you the shop, you didn’t ask me and just wrote your own name. Now you question me?”
“Everything you have at the Song Family is because of me. If you don’t behave, I have ways to deal with you!” Meng Yu snapped before leaving the restroom in a hurry.
Meng Xia leaned against the wall, feeling weak. Suddenly, she felt a pain in her lower abdomen and hurried into a stall. Seeing the blood, she was too scared to scream.
Before Song Fan could return home, she received a call from Meng Xia, who was at the hospital, bleeding.
Song Fan found this suspicious. She knew how much Meng Xia valued this child, so why would she call her?
Considering everything that had happened, she went to the hospital. Upon seeing her, Meng Xia quickly asked, “Any news on the necklace?”
“Is the baby okay?” Song Fan found it strange that Meng Xia seemed more concerned about the necklace.
Meng Xia shook her head, too frightened. If she had given away the necklace, she could go to jail.
She had noticed the bleeding and, despite her fear, took a cab to the hospital. She didn’t dare contact Meng Yu and instead trusted Song Fan more. Fortunately, she was only frightened, and the baby was fine.
“The doctor said I was just too anxious in the early stages of pregnancy and should be fine in a couple of days. But the necklace…”
Song Fan saw her anxiety seemed genuine and asked, “Who did you give the item to today?”
Meng Xia was startled, her mouth moving but saying nothing.
“The police have restored the surveillance. You’re the only one who took something out of the office.” Song Fan squinted, “The insurance payout for that antique necklace, difficult to appraise, is at least two billion. Do you think the police will let you off?”
“You must know the consequences; otherwise, you wouldn’t have called me to the hospital, right?”
She gave Meng Xia a “think about it” look and said nothing more.
The room fell silent, only Meng Xia’s heavy breathing could be heard.
Finally, Meng Xia spoke, “I don’t know about the necklace, really! I swear!”
She defended herself, “Mom told me to give something to Xu Wen. I didn’t know what it was. The necklace was put away by Mom in my office. I thought it was still in the box and didn’t touch it.”
“Xu Wen?” Song Fan hadn’t expected it to be her.
