He had finally found the answer.
If Xia Nuannuan had not taken the money, and no one else had been in their bedroom, then there was only one way that the money could have appeared in Xia Nuannuan’s suitcase.
The only way was that… the money had been brought into the room by the person who searched it, to smear Xia Nuannuan.
Shen Zihao stood up and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
If this was true, then this situation had a completely different meaning.
There was someone in the household who wanted to set Xia Nuannuan up. Who could that be?
Shen Zihao clenched his fists tightly, suddenly feeling like he had grown up.
He had to protect Xia Nuannuan, and had to protect her well.
At this thought, he picked up the phone and said, “Butler, come over for a second.”
Two minutes later, a knock came on the door and the butler said, “Young Master.”
“Come in.”
The butler walked in.
Shen Zihao looked at him and spoke, “Uncle Cai, I have a few questions for you.”
The butler hesitated for a second and said, “Young Master, please let me know how I can help. You only need to tell me.”
Shen Zihao nodded and said, “How many people did you take with you to search my room today?”
The butler paused and then replied, “Two of them. Ah Huang and Xiao Bai.”
Shen Zihao frowned upon hearing this. Hence, one of these three people had had a part in setting Xia Nuannuan up.
He narrowed his eyes and continued to question the butler, “So who was the person who discovered the 50 thousand in the suitcase?”
The butler thought for a moment and answered, “It was Xiao Bai. He was the one who found it first.”
Shen Zihao immediately nodded and said, “Get me Xiao Bao.”
He would have to turn every stone. It was the only way to solve the case.
After a short while, Xiao Bao came upstairs.
Shen Zihao did not ask the butler to leave, but turned instead to Xiao Bao and asked, “Where did you discover the 50 thousand?”
Xiao Bao answered, “In Young Madam’s suitcase.”
“Be more specific.”
Xiao Bao tried to recall. “I think it was under a piece of clothing.”
Shen Zihao knitted his brow and probed further, “What sort of garment?”
“Er… It was an undergarment, I—”
Before he could finish, Shen Zihao shot up from his seat. He picked up a pen on the desk and threw it at the worker. “How dare you go through Young Madam’s personal belongings?”
Xiao Bao panicked at once and said, “I didn’t do it on my own accord! Ah Huang ordered me to do it!”
Ah Huang?
Shen Zihao paused for a while and then asked, “Who was the one who opened the suitcase?”
Xiao Bao scratched his head and said, “It was Ah Huang!”
Hence, Ah Huang was a suspect too.
The butler had been standing on the side, he had not been near the suitcase during the search. So… it had to be either Ah Huang or Xiao Bao. But who among them was the culprit who framed Xia Nuannuan?
Shen Zihao narrowed his eyes and said suddenly, “Get me Ah Huang.”
Ah Huang walked in shortly after.
Shen Zihao looked at him and asked, “Were you the one who opened the suitcase?”
Ah Huang nodded.
Shen Zihao immediately stood up and interrogated him, “Why did you set Young Madam up? Speak up! Who instructed you to do it?”
Regardless of who among them had framed Xia Nuannuan, they both were junior security officers in the household and should have nothing against Xia Nuannuan.
If it really had been any one of them, then the order must have come from someone else.
Ah Huang looked as though he was at a complete loss and said, “Young Master, I did not set Young Madam up!”
“Huh, you obviously placed the money in the suitcase. What other excuses do you have?!”
