As Ming Li stood at the doorway, one of the police officers exclaimed, "Little girl, you look rather familiar?"
Ming Li watched as the officer instinctively pulled out his phone and opened the wanted list, her mouth twitching uncontrollably.
*Xiù'er, is that you?*
*What suspect do you know who looks this good?*
As for why they did this, it was because the moment the police officer saw Ming Li, he had a bad premonition...
Just then, Butler Liu heard the commotion at the door and came out. Seeing a police officer standing in front of Ming Li, he quickly said, "Officer, this is our young lady." *So there's no problem, you don't need to waste your time here.*
Hearing Butler Liu's voice, the police officers turned their gaze to him and asked, "Did you call the police?"
Butler Liu nodded and stepped aside, opening a path. "Officer, that little thief who stole our young lady's things is inside."
Seeing this, several police officers hurried in.
They then saw Dai Xiao Lian, dressed in a gorgeous evening gown and wearing a blue gem around her neck.
The police officers: "..." *This person again?!*
Butler Liu, seeing this, angrily pointed at Dai Xiao Lian and said, "Officers, look! She's a temporary worker we hired. We didn't hire her to wear our young lady's clothes and use our young lady's belongings!"
Hearing this, Dai Xiao Lian was displeased and pointed at Ming Li, saying, "Why can she be the young lady, but I can't!"
Ming Li raised an eyebrow and remembered that in the original plot, the female lead had also worked as a temporary worker at the Ye family. However, at that time, the original owner had gone abroad. The female lead had also used the original owner's belongings. It was just that the Ye family parents saw that after the female lead wore the original owner's things, she bore some resemblance to the original owner, so they didn't stop her. Later, after the female lead left, she also took all of the original owner's jewelry, but no one noticed those jewelry pieces at the time, which was how the female lead successfully took them.
At this moment, hearing Dai Xiao Lian's words, everyone rolled their eyes so hard they nearly reached the heavens.
Finally, seeing several police officers walking towards her, Dai Xiao Lian gritted her teeth, directly took off the necklace from her neck, and smashed it violently onto the ground. "If I can't have it, you don't get it either!"
With a "bang!" the necklace was successfully broken.
Ming Li looked at this without any expression. "This necklace is twenty million."
Hearing this, Dai Xiao Lian rolled her eyes speechlessly. "Twenty million? Who are you kidding?"
Aunt Wang took out a receipt. It was written in black and white on white paper, and a brand's stamp was also affixed to it.
The police officers glanced at it and nodded.
Seeing this, Aunt Wang pointed at the evening gown Dai Xiao Lian was wearing and said, "This gown was personally designed by a famous designer from abroad. It costs ninety million, and she has now ripped it."
Finally, Dai Xiao Lian was taken to the police station again.
The police officers: "..."
Ming Li narrowed her eyes, glanced at the broken necklace on the ground, and said, "Get me a lawyer..."
Two days later, Dai Xiao Lian, who was at the police station, was brought to court...
...
"Bang—"
With a bang of the gavel, Dai Xiao Lian was sentenced to seven years.
Upon hearing this result, Dai Xiao Lian became displeased and kept shouting, "I'm still a minor! You can't treat me like this!"
Hearing this, the judge glanced at Dai Xiao Lian's file and said, "You are an adult. You just turned eighteen yesterday."
Dai Xiao Lian: "..."
Finally, Dai Xiao Lian was successfully imprisoned.
Seeing this, Ming Li nodded with satisfaction.
Upon returning, she said, "Uncle Liu, there's no need to hire any temporary workers."
Butler Liu nodded, and as he thought of something, a flicker of guilt crossed his face. He said, "Young lady, I apologize. I just thought that girl looked honest, who would have thought..."
Ming Li waved her hand. "It's not your fault, Uncle Liu. You go ahead and get busy. I want to be alone for a while."
Butler Liu nodded and went down.
Not long after, Butler Liu returned.
"Young lady, Young Master Ning has come to visit. The master and madam are not home right now. Would you like to see him?"
*The male lead?*
Hearing this, Ming Li frowned and said coldly, "I won't see him. Just say I'm not home either."
"Yes."
Butler Liu returned to the living room and said, "Young Master Ning, I'm sorry, our young lady is also not home. Please come back another day."
Upon hearing this, Ning Bai instinctively frowned. Not home? How could that be? His informants had clearly been watching the Ye family manor all along, and he had clearly seen that woman return, and she hadn't left at all...
Could it be... that woman didn't want to see him?
How could that be! That woman clearly liked him. Perhaps she was just shy.
Thinking this, Ning Bai's expression returned to calm. He stood up and said, "Alright, I'll visit again next time."
