Panicking now, Ah Huang insisted, “Young Master, I really didn’t!”
No?
Shen Zihao laughed icily, looked towards Xiao Bao and said at once, “Xiao Bao has already said that you were the one who opened the suitcase.”
“Who would put money in the suitcase? But you, of all the places, looked in the suitcase. You must have known from the start that the money could be found there!”
Ah Huang was so nervous that he was on the verge of tears. “Young Master, I opened the suitcase because the butler asked me to! If it is because of this reason, then the person who would want to frame Young Madam would surely be the butler.”
The butler?
Shen Zihao’s pupils shrank at once as he looked at the butler.
He saw the butler frowning and tutting at once. He berated the man, “Ah Huang, how could you accuse someone just like that? I asked you to open the suitcase, but I hadn’t gone near the suitcase. All along, I stood at the door instructing you both. How could I possibly have put the money in the suitcase?
Nervous, Ah Huang gestured with a trembling hand. “No- no, I didn’t mean that… Butler, I-”
He found himself unable to speak further.
Shen Zihao narrowed his eyes and stood up.
Glaring at Ah Huang, he paused a second before saying, “Actually, it’s easy to find out if you were the one who put the money in the suitcase. It’s simple and I have an idea.”
Ah Huang was taken aback and asked, “What idea?”
“Fingerprint a.n.a.lysis!”
Stunned, Ah Huang exclaimed, “Ah?!”
Shen Zihao continued, “Think about it. You said you did not touch the 50 thousand at all, right?”
Ah Huang nodded.
“So, if you weren’t the one who placed the money in the suitcase, your fingerprints shouldn’t be on it. I’ll call the police now and get them to investigate! Then the truth will be revealed.”
The moment Ah Huang heard this, he nodded vigorously. “That’s good, Young Master. Bring in the police so that I can also prove my innocence!”
Shen Zihao frowned as he observed Ah Huang’s reaction.
Almost immediately, he picked up his cell phone to make the call. But suddenly, the butler stepped forward and said, “Young Master, it’s not appropriate to escalate this matter. Have you forgotten?”
Forgotten?
How could he possibly forget?!
Furrowing his brow, Shen Zihao said, “But if I don’t get the police involved, how will we ever know the truth of the matter?”
The butler sighed and said, “After all, we’ve recovered the money. Madam and Sir’s intention is to let the matter rest. If this blew up and word got out, it really would look bad for the family.”
The butler advised, “Young Master, please consider it carefully.”
Shen Zihao frowned and nodded after a moment. “You’re right. Besides, the money has been touched by too many people now. It would be hard to prove anything just based on fingerprints alone.”
Shen Zihao then sighed and said, “You may leave now! It had better not be any of you. If I find out otherwise, I won’t let you off!”
The three of them were visibly relieved as they left Shen Zihao’s study.
Shen Zihao stood up, returned to the bedroom and got into bed.
The skies darkened gradually.
Suddenly, he heard some small movements coming from downstairs.
He sat up. After getting out of bed, he made his way down. He saw a silhouette lurking around slowly in the dark.
Shen Zihao narrowed his eyes immediately and approached the silhouette.
He had already expected this. He knew that if he stirred things up a little, the culprit would not sit back and do nothing. The person would give away some signs for sure. And if he were to follow this person closely, he would be able to track down who had framed Xia Nuannuan.
