Eroge: I can Travel To The Ancient World

Jia Hao quickly ordered a peach tinted gin as he looked at the drama slowly starting before him. Not long after, Mr. Dong arrived and inquired about the matter.

" What happened? An item got stolen?"

" Sir, Miss Wu already got her item after she paid the bill. However, Now, she couldn't find her necklace."

" Damn it! How is this possible? How there could be a theft here?"

Mr. Dong was stunned when she heard that. Wu Mengji cried as she rubbed her eyes.

" That necklace…It looked so good. Not to mention, it was a limited edition pink diamond necklace."

" I thought….I thought it would be a good gift for my daughter. But…Some bastard stole it from me."

" BOOHOOO! My precious necklace. My husband…he won't let it go…Boohooo!~*

Su Yunqi was also stunned when she saw the situation. " I never thought someone could do that here. Aren't they afraid if getting caught and beaten to death?"

" Oh, It's just starting, Aunt Su." Jia Hao chuckled as he took a chicken skewer and ate it with relish, with his drink.

" And, It looks like someone is enjoying the situation." Su Yunqi rolled her eyes.

" Why should I not, Aunt Su?" Jia Hao shrugged. " Not to mention, the chicken is so tender and juicy. The chef did the right job."

" Call the security and check around!" Mr. Dong shouted at his secretary.

" Yes, Mr. Dong." His secretary nodded as he hurriedly left.

But not after long, a waitress came with the secretary. The secretary's expression was odd as he came back with her.

" What is it? Got any news?"

" Mr. Dong, This waitress…She is saying that she has seen the culprit."

" What? Are you telling the truth?"

Mr. Dong looked at the waitress with shock. " Tell me, Who it was?!"

" Mr…Mr. Dong, I…I only suspect that person was the culprit. I don't have any solid proof." The waitress muttered as she looked at the ground.

" That's better than nothing. Just tell me what you saw." Wu Mengji stepped in as she asked desperately.

" I… I saw a woman, who looked like another waitress. But I have never seen her. As she was walking in the corridor, I saw something sparkling inside her pocket."

" At first, I thought that might be some stuff. But after this incident, I feel…That was the necklace. It looks so same…"

" Can you tell me who is that bitch?" Wu Mengji snapped out. " You should have remembered her face, right?"

" I only saw her from behind…" The waitress spoke in a stammering voice. " But I know what she did!"

" She entered the washroom and came out. But when she came out…I didn't see that necklace in her pocket."

" What? Really?" The secretary was stunned. " Does that mean the woman hid the necklace in the bathroom."

" I… I don't know. After her, the only person who came out of the bathroom was…Miss Su."

Everyone's eyes fell on Su Yunqi when they heard the waitress. Su Yunqi was also surprised when she heard that. " I beg your pardon?"

" My clothes got stained and I was wiping it off in the bathroom. There was a lady in the bathroom…But I didn't notice her face."

Mr. Dong looked at the secretary and nodded. " Go and check the entirety of the washroom."

" Yes, Mr. Dong."

But they returned empty handed, making the situation even heavier.

" What? You couldn't find it?"

" No, Mr. Dong. We checked every possible place. But we couldn't find it at all."

" Damn it! Check all the CCTV cameras and find that thief!" Mr. Dong shouted.

" Wait a second."

Wu Mengji stepped ion as she raised her voice. Jia Hao chuckled as he finished his drink.

" Rather than checking for the thief, can't we check another person?"

" What do you mean by that, Miss Wu?" Mr. Dong asked curiously.

" Since that waitress said the thief entered the washroom and came out empty handed…And now there is no necklace there…Doesn't that mean someone else might have taken it?"

Everyone murmured among themselves as they heard Wu Mengji's reasoning. Mr. Dong's expression changed when he understood Wu Mengji's implication.

" Miss Wu, What do you mean by that?"

" I mean…Su Yunqi was there at that time, yes? Didn't she saw anyone else?" Wu Mengji spoke in a light voice.

" I didn't see anyone else." Su Yunqi spoke in a slightly annoyed voice. " And, Wu Mengji, Why do I feel you are suspecting me?"

" Well, You were the only person in the washroom at that time. So, If we follow the natural flow of logic…"

" You want to say Big Sister Su stole the necklace?" Jia Hao stepped forward as he looked at Wu Mengji.

" Aunty, Why don't you just say that you think Sister Yunqi is the thief? Or she deliberately stole your necklace?"

" I… I didn't mean that."

Wu Mengji took a step back as she looked away. " However, Everyone saw how fiercely Su Yunqi competed with me for that necklace."

" What if…I mean, I am not saying…But…"

" Mr. Dong, What do you think?" Jia Hao didn't bother with Wu Mengji and looked at Mr. Dong.

" I… I believe the thief is still within us. So, We can't let anyone go out of this party." Mr. Dong replied.

" Why don't we simply check everyone's belongings?" Wu Mengji jumped in.

" In that way, No one would be able to say anything at all."

" Aunty, I believe you don't have any dignity. " Jia Hao smiled. " But that doesn't mean everyone is like you."

" Checking someone's belonging is same as taking them as suspect. So, You think you want to do that?"

" In this place? Which person isn't a dignitary?"

Jia Hao's voice raised murmurs among the crowd as they nodded to hid words.

After all, Why would they cooperate? They didn't stole Wu Mengji's necklace.

" Yo-You!:

Wu Mengji clenched her fist as she looked at Jia Hao. " Why are you so against of it? Does that mean you want to let the thief get away?"

" Or, You are afraid to get discovered?"

" Wu Mengji, Do you understand what you are saying?" Su Yunqi flared up as she saw Wu Mengji pointing at Jia Hao.

" You think I don't have any shame? Or you take me as some petty thief who would steal a necklace from you? A million yuan is nothing for me."

" Who knows? That's a pretty rare set." Wu Mengji snorted. " Maybe you got your eyes on it?"

" And, being rich doesn't mean you can't steal."

" You know what?" Jia Hao stepped forward as he put his hands behind his back.

" Aunty Wu is right. It's better to clarify the situation rather than muddling it."

" Mr. Dong, But I would like to hear your thoughts."

Mr. Dong clenched his teeth. If he agrees, that mean he suspects Su Yunqi and other guests here. But if he doesn't, that would mean he is leaving the thief scot free.

" Miss Su, I apologize for such inconvenience. However, I would ask your permission to check your purse."

Su Yunqi clenched her teeth as she took deep breaths. She never thought she would face such situation here.

But suddenly, A palm appeared on her shoulder, making her stun.

" It's alright, Aunt Su. Just relax and enjoy the show, ok?" Jia Hao smiled as he held the purse and walked tiowards Mr. Dong.

" Here, Take the purse and check it." Jia Hao handled it nonchalantly.

The secretary of Mr. Don't nodded as he walked forward. Opening the purse, he looked inside carefully.

" What is it? You expression…It doesn't look good." Wu Mengji spoke as she eagerly stepped forward.

" What? Why don't you tell?"

" Well…" The secretary shrugged. " There is no necklace at all."

" Wh-What?" Wu Mengji was stunned. " That's…That's impossible!"

" There has to be my necklace." Wu Mengji shouted as she snatched the purse.

Turning upside down, Su Yunqi's cards, makeup and some other stuff dropped. However, there was no sight of any necklace.

" What? Shocked?" Jia Hao gave a cold grin.

" Everyone can see, There is no necklace. However, I wonder why Aunty Wu was so confident that the necklace was inside this purse?"

" Aunt Wu, Are you hiding something?"

" I…I…Why would I?"

Wu Mengji took a step back as she composed herself. " I was just…"

" Well, How about we check your purse?"

" Huh?"

Before Wu Mengji could react, Jia Hao had already snatched her purse.

" Well, I wonder what I will get here…Oh?"

Wu Mengji felt something ominous. " Wh-Why are you holding my purse? Give it back!"

" Alright… Here, take it."

Jia Hao passed the purse to Wu Mengji. But suddenly, with a small thud, a necklace fell from the purse.

The crows became silent as everyone looked at it.

" Isn't that…"

" The pendant that got…Stolen?"

" Holy! It was with her all along?"

Wu Mengji's eyes almost popped out when she saw that.

" Imp-Impossible! How is this possible!" Wu Menji screamed.

" Yo-You! You cheated! Yes, It must be some sort of trick!"

" Why do you think it's a trick?" Jia Hao chuckled as he raised his brow.

" Because It was supposed to be inside Su Yunqi's purse!"
