Five minutes later, the police arrived.
"Who called the police just now?"
Lu Ling and Jiang Yuanyuan spoke in unison.
"Me!" *2
Police: "What is going on? Speak one by one."
Lu Ling: "Police Comrade, my necklace was stolen."
"It is the one on her neck."
"Nonsense!" Jiang Yuanyuan said angrily, "Police Comrade, she is framing me."
"It was clearly her who tried to snatch my necklace."
The two held their own versions of the story.
The police could only ask them to produce evidence to prove the necklace was theirs.
Gu Nianchen was even more anxious at this moment and hurriedly spoke up.
"Police Comrade, this is actually a misunderstanding."
He desperately signaled to Jiang Yuanyuan, "Yuanyuan, stop making a scene. Give the necklace to Lu Ling, and I will explain it to you later."
【 Uh... am I the only one who thinks Gu Nianchen is very off-putting? 】
【 I really hate this phrase: stop making a scene. 】
【 Yeah, he actually used the word 'scene' to summarize this kind of thing. I am speechless. 】
【 So, whose necklace is it anyway? 】
Jiang Yuanyuan, of course, would not have it.
"No way. I was inexplicably labeled as a thief; this is not over."
"Police Comrade, she attempted robbery and framed me. Hurry up and arrest her."
Lu Ling looked at her as if she were an idiot.
Then, she unhurriedly opened her bag and took out the payment receipt and invoice.
Although this necklace was not from a big brand.
However, it came from a niche DIY studio, custom-made, and it was the only one of its kind.
Lu Ling even took out a screenshot of the chat log with the staff member from when she ordered it.
With the evidence laid out in front of them, Jiang Yuanyuan had nothing to say.
She looked at Gu Nianchen, wanting an answer, but Gu Nianchen had an expression that said, 'Who told you not to listen to me?'
Jiang Yuanyuan was so angry she almost died on the spot.
What was worse was that Lu Ling was relentless, insisting she was a thief and demanding the police file a case.
Theft of over three thousand yuan can lead to a prison sentence, and that damn necklace was exactly three thousand one hundred.
The police took out the silver handcuffs.
The bullet comments were shocked.
【 Wow~ the first star to win silver handcuffs on a live variety show. 】
【 She has something going on! 】
【 Oh, she called the police and got herself arrested! 】
...
Seeing the silver handcuffs, Jiang Yuanyuan was scared and hurriedly defended herself.
"Police Comrade, I didn't steal this necklace. It was a gift from Gu Nianchen's mother. If you want to arrest someone, arrest her."
"Lu Ling, I am not the one who stole your necklace."
Lu Ling glanced at her, "I don't know about that. I only care about reporting the crime."
"Solving the case is the police's business. You should go back to the police station with them first."
Jiang Yuanyuan was even more anxious.
She could not go to the police station; once she went, she would never be able to clear her name.
Even if she didn't commit a crime, the media would use it for hype, and she wouldn't be able to explain it then.
What to do?
Just then, Gu Nianchen finally spoke.
"Lu Ling, can this matter be settled privately?"
Lu Ling: "No."
Jiang Yuanyuan hurriedly said: "You just said the necklace could be sold to me. Sell it to me, I will give you the money."
It was only three thousand one hundred, a pittance; she would just give it to her.
"I will transfer it to you now, three thousand one hundred, right?"
Lu Ling smiled faintly.
"I don't want to settle privately."
"I want to give you silver handcuffs."
Jiang Yuanyuan: "..."
Gu Nianchen thought of the two IOUs he had with Lu Ling and had an idea.
He said, "I will give you double the compensation."
"Is that enough?"
Lu Ling still shook her head.
"No."
"Ten times!"
"Let's go through legal channels."
Gu Nianchen hardened his heart, "A flat price of one hundred thousand, how about it?"
Lu Ling's eyes lit up, "Deal!"
【 Hahahaha, well done! 】
【 Holy cow, that's awesome! 】
【 Now it's done, Gu Nianchen's debt has increased by another one hundred thousand. 】
【 Hahaha, as expected, the more he pays, the more he owes. 】
【 I thought he was a second generation rich, but he is actually a second generation poor. 】
...
Just when everyone thought Gu Nianchen was going to write another IOU, they didn't expect him to start his sleazy operation.
"Yuanyuan, you give the money to Lu Ling."
Jiang Yuanyuan: "???"
Jiang Yuanyuan was completely dumbfounded.
"I give it?"
"This necklace was given to me by your mother. Shouldn't you be the one paying?"
She received a gift, was treated like a thief, and now she has to pay for it herself?
What kind of situation is this?
Gu Nianchen sighed helplessly.
"This money should indeed be paid, but... you pay it for now."
Translator Chi Xian'an came online just in time: "He means he has no money to pay."
【 The translator gets full marks. 】
【 Amazing, amazing! 】
【 He gave you the gift, now you pay the money. 】
【 Gu Nianchen owes so much money, will this one hundred thousand really be transferred to Jiang Yuanyuan? 】
【 Believe me, this one hundred thousand is just the beginning. Jiang Yuanyuan will have many more places to spend money later; after all, Gu Nianchen has experience with this. 】
【 Other people spend money on their girlfriends, Gu Nianchen makes money from his girlfriends. 】
【 So he only changed girlfriends because Lu Ling's value had been squeezed dry. 】
【 Who told me Gu Nianchen was a second generation rich? Stand up! Isn't this just a living gigolo? 】
【 Gross. 】
The bullet comments were all scolding him.
Weibo was also scolding him. The variety show had been airing for half a day, and Gu Nianchen was losing followers rapidly.
At the live broadcast site.
Jiang Yuanyuan looked shocked.
The look in her eyes when she looked at Gu Nianchen was full of confusion.
No money?
He didn't even have one hundred thousand?
You are a top-tier celebrity, where is your money?
Gu Nianchen kept his head down, saying nothing.
Lu Ling couldn't wait any longer.
"Ahem..."
"So, who is paying?"
"Or do you want to write an IOU?"
Jiang Yuanyuan stomped her feet in anger, "I will pay!"
"Alright!" Lu Ling said with a hee hee.
"WeChat or Alipay?"
Jiang Yuanyuan took out her mobile phone directly, opened the WeChat chat box, and transferred the money to Lu Ling.
"I transferred it to you via WeChat."
This scene once again shocked the netizens in the live stream room.
【 Are they actually WeChat friends? 】
【 Did they know each other before or did they just add each other? 】
【 Ah, my curiosity has been piqued. 】
