Upon hearing this, the other three group members also chimed in, "I didn't take it!"

"I didn't either. We are all very honest people, and the company has strict rules. If we are caught doing something wrong, we will be fired. Our current income is quite good, so there is no need for us to do such a thing."

"That's right, we..."

"Alright." Mrs. Li interrupted them, glancing impatiently at the time: "Wait another ten minutes. If your boss doesn't come by then, I'll call the police and send you to the police station."

Upon hearing that the police had been called, the group visibly panicked.

It wasn't that they actually stole anything, but as ordinary middle-aged women, they were instinctively afraid of calling the police and going to the station.

Moreover, they need to provide a "certificate of no criminal record" when looking for work in Longcheng. If they go to the police station, will there be a record?

They don't understand, that's why they're afraid.

"Madam, judging from their guilty and scared looks, there's definitely something fishy going on," the nanny said, stirring things up.

Just then, the doorbell rang, and Shen Jingjing arrived.

"You're the owner of the cleaning company?"

The nanny who opened the door looked at Shen Jingjing with an arrogant expression. Only after Shen Jingjing nodded did she step aside and say, "Come in, there are shoe covers over there."

Shen Jingjing ignored the nanny's attitude, put on shoe covers, and went into the living room.

"Jingjing!"

When Sister Xiang saw that Shen Jingjing had actually come in person, she quickly went to greet her.

"We didn't steal it, it really wasn't us."

Shen Jingjing grabbed Xiang Jie's hand and used a reassuring force: "It's okay, don't be afraid."

"Whether it was stolen or not is not for you to decide. My things are definitely gone!" Mrs. Li said in a slightly raised voice, glancing at Shen Jingjing as she spoke, a mocking smile playing on her lips. "What do you think, Ms. Shen?"

Shen Jingjing looked at Mrs. Li, her brows furrowing: "It's you?"

Mrs. Li, who deliberately made things difficult for her daughter at the charity gala, clearly had a grudge against her daughter!

"Ms. Shen, I am now a customer of your company, and I lost something while you were working for me. This is not the attitude you should have?"

Shen Jingjing quickly composed herself. She was there to resolve a problem, and since the other party was a company client, she had to show the proper attitude.

"I apologize for the inconvenience caused during the service period, but regarding the loss of valuables you mentioned, do you have any direct evidence to prove that our company's employees stole them?"

"Is it possible that you put it somewhere else and forgot about it? Or is there some other possibility?"

Shen Jingjing calmed herself down and spoke in a composed manner.

Mrs. Li's sneer widened slightly upon hearing this: "What direct evidence do you need? My bracelet is made of Hetian white jade. Even someone who doesn't know much about jade would know it's worth a fortune. People with limited vision are most easily blinded by greed, so it's normal for them to have such thoughts for a moment, isn't it?"

Shen Jingjing frowned upon hearing her words and blurted out, "So, Mrs. Li, you have no evidence at all, and you're just making a simple guess and suspecting my employee because the bracelet is missing?"

"Of course I'd suspect them. Why would I suspect myself?" Mrs. Li glanced at Xiang Jie and the others with disdain. "Among the people in this villa at the time, they were the most likely to do something like this, weren't they?"

"Where did you get this conclusion from?" Shen Jingjing asked, her tone hardening with displeasure.

Mrs. Li looked at her defiantly: "Status, social class."

“Mrs. Li, you are too arrogant.” Shen Jingjing said, pointing to the two nannies behind her: “If we follow your logic, then these two people in your family can also be suspected.”

"What?!" The nanny exploded upon hearing this: "Are you kidding me? We've been taking care of Mr. and Mrs. Li for years, how could we possibly do such a thing?"

“Exactly, stop falsely accusing others. We’re talking about your company’s employees!” another chimed in.

At this point, Sister Xiang retorted, "Just because it didn't exist before doesn't mean it won't exist in the future. Just because one person doesn't have it doesn't mean another person won't. Isn't that exactly what you just said?"

Shen Jingjing said, "Besides, four cleaning company people came to the house today, which is a good opportunity to make a move, because we can shift the blame to an outsider who is more likely to be suspected, right?"

After speaking, Shen Jingjing looked at Mrs. Li with unwavering determination in her eyes, showing no sign of backing down.

Mrs. Li met her gaze, and surprisingly, Shen Ci's face was faintly reflected in the depths of Shen Jingjing's pupils.

Her face turned cold: "They really are mother and daughter, their tone of voice is equally annoying."

The sudden attack on her daughter caused Shen Jingjing's face to darken instantly.

At the same time, another guess flashed through her mind: was the other party deliberately making things difficult for her?

But regardless of whether it is true or not, this matter needs to be resolved today. She cannot allow such slander to be unjustly leveled against her employees.

"Then call the police!"

Shen Jingjing softened her tone and decided to comply with the other party's wishes, which was also the simplest and most direct way to prove the employee's innocence.

"I just said I was going to call the police, and they were terrified," Mrs. Li said provocatively.

Shen Jingjing looked at Sister Xiang and the others and noticed that they did indeed look a little scared.

Sister Xiang shook her head slightly, saying with great resistance, "Jingjing, let's not call the police. We can let them search us. Anyway, we only brought these few things, so they'll know everything with a search."

For ordinary people like them, calling the police is an extremely serious matter.

Shen Jingjing grasped Xiang Jie's hand and explained, "No, Xiang Jie, searching your bodies here is not only not legally valid, but it's also illegal."

She had worked in hotels for many years and knew these things very well.

"Don't be afraid, I'm with you, and I will definitely clear your names," Shen Jingjing said firmly.

Her seriousness and protectiveness also gave her employees confidence. One of the older women gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go. We have nothing to hide. If we didn't do it, we didn't do it. You can't frame us, can the police frame us?"

If one person is no longer afraid, then others will also be affected.

"Yes, go ahead and call the police, we're not afraid!"

This startled Mrs. Li. She paused for a moment, then chuckled and nodded, "Fine, then I'll really call the police."

As she spoke, she picked up the phone, pretending to be about to call the police.

Seeing that the other party really didn't respond, she raised her eyebrows, put down her phone with a helpless expression.

"Forget it, if I end up at the police station over a bracelet, people will laugh at me. That thing might be very valuable to you people, but it's just an ordinary object to me. I'll just pretend it's lost."

After saying that, she raised her hand and waved it away as if shooing away flies: "You can go now."

Upon hearing this, Sister Xiang and the others instinctively showed joy, thinking that the matter was over.

But Shen Jingjing remained unmoved, looking at Mrs. Li coldly and saying, "If we leave like this today, then this matter will be completely unclear. If we are to leave, we must leave with a clean record."

"If you won't call the police, I will!"

Despite physical disability, he has a strong will.
