Chapter 35: You’re Not Going to Admit It

“It’s fine…” Qiao Sisi shook her head and fell into her own thoughts.

Who could it be? she wondered. Who would take the effort to steal my gift bag?

One by one, the faces of her colleagues flashed across Qiao Sisi’s mind before stopping at one person’s face.

Wei Ya!

In Qiao Sisi’s impression, there was only one person with the motive for doing this—the arrogant Wei Ya.

Although Qiao Sisi did not work on her relationship with her colleagues, she felt that she was getting along quite well with them. She did not make enemies.

Other than Wei Ya. This woman had been targeting her since she joined the company. Along the way to Yunqi, she had also been playing dirty tricks.

Besides, Wei Ya must have noticed that she was holding the gift bag last night. During that time… she seemed to have passed by their table.

“Hu…”

Qiao Sisi took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes to calm herself.

Lin Ya said worriedly, “Sisi, are you alright? Did you lose something important?”

Faced with her colleague’s concern, Qiao Sisi forced a smile and said, “I’m fine. I lost something.”

“The gift bag from yesterday? Did Young Master Zheng give it to you?” The more Qiao Sisi said, the more Lin Ya could guess what might have happened.

She seemed to have seen Qiao Sisi carrying a gift bag into the private room yesterday.

Qiao Sisi explained, “He gave it to me. After I sent you back yesterday, I placed the bag in the bedside table drawer. But when I looked at it this morning, it was gone.”

She pointed at the empty bedside table drawer.

There was not even a strand of hair inside.

Lin Ya felt a little angry for Qiao Sisi. “Then someone came to our room and stole something! How dare the person do such a heartless thing while I was drunk! I must find out who it was!”

Lin Ya was even angrier than Qiao Sisi. She frowned and started thinking.

She thought about it for a long time but could not think of anything.

Then Qiao Sisi stood up and walked straight to the door.

“Sisi, where are you going?” Lin Ya was a little puzzled and quickly got up to follow her.

Qiao Sisi opened the door and said calmly, “I’m going to find Wei Ya.”

“Wei Ya…” Lin Ya followed behind Qiao Sisi, rubbing her chin. She seemed to have remembered something.

The hallway of the hotel was very quiet in the morning. Other than the two of them, no one else was around. They could not hear a thing as they stepped on the soft carpet.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

Qiao Sisi came to the door of the next room and knocked.

An impatient female voice came from inside. “Who is it? Why are you knocking so early in the morning?”

Then the person walked to the door and opened it. It was an impatient Wei Ya, who was wearing white pajamas, frowning at Qiao Sisi and Lu Yaohua.

“What are you doing?”

Wei Ya glared at Qiao Sisi and leaned against the door, blocking the way into her room.

Qiao Sisi could not help but sneer. “To be honest, Wei Ya, did you enter our room yesterday while I was making lemonade downstairs?”

“What are you talking about? I don’t understand,” Wei Ya said, but she felt guilty and attempted to close the door.

“Pa!”

Lin Ya pushed the door with both hands, making a loud noise. She said, “Wei Ya, I think you came into our room last night.”

Wei Ya panicked even more and tried to close the door.

Qiao Sisi’s gaze was cold. She glanced at the flustered Wei Ya and, together with Lin Ya, they pushed her away.

Wei Ya could not stop the two of them, so she simply let go of her hands and shouted, “I’ve never been to your room. What on earth are you doing?!”

The roar echoed through the corridor, but it was not clear how many people heard it.

“Let me take a look at your room to know if you’ve been there or not,” Qiao Sisi said coldly. She had already determined that it was Wei Ya who stole the book.

Other than her, there was no other possibility.

She looked at Lin Ya and the two of them began to search the room.

Lin Ya searched the cabinet under the LCD TV and around it, while Qiao Sisis walked to the bedside table without hesitation.

The room was quite neat. Wei Ya’s bedside table was filled with cosmetics and some jewelry.

Qiao Sisi did not look at the cosmetics. Instead, she opened the drawer and checked if there was any gift bag inside.

Unfortunately…

There was no gift bag in the first tier!

There was none in the second tier either!

Qiao Sisi frowned and was puzzled. Where did Wei Ya put the bag?

“Who told you to rummage in my room? Stop!” Wei Ya screamed and charged at Qiao Sisi, looking like she was about to hit her.

Qiao Sisi grabbed Wei Ya’s wrist quickly. Her cold eyes seemed to be able to see through Wei Ya.

Wei Ya quickly broke free and guarded the bedside table. “If you continue to do this, I’ll call the police!”

“Call the police?” Qiao Sisi sneered and stood up. “I’m really curious. A thief like you actually dares to call the police? Go ahead and call the police. We’ll wait here.”

“You!”

Wei Ya was furious, but she did not dare to retort. After all, she had indeed stolen the thing. If the police found out, she would not end up well.

Just as the atmosphere in the room was getting tense, Wei Ya’s sidekick, who was a little afraid, sneaked out of the room when no one was looking.

She headed in the direction of the junior assistant’s room.

Qiao Sisi saw Wei Ya’s sidekick escape, but she did not care. She knew she did not do anything wrong.

Since Wei Ya had chosen to steal from her, she had to be prepared to bear the consequences!

“Let me ask you one last time, where did you put my things?” Qiao Sisi said emphatically, her heart filled with anger.

Wei Ya pretended to be calm and looked at Qiao Sisi with hatred in her eyes. “Qiao Sisi, I didn’t take your things. Instead, you brought someone into my room to rummage around. Have you thought of the consequences?”

“Looks like you’re not going to admit it. Move aside!”

Furious, Qiao Sisi pushed Wei Ya away and opened the third drawer of the bedside table. However, there was no gift bag in the drawer.

Lin Ya had searched almost everywhere but the gift bag could not be found.

“Sisi, nothing on my end.” Lin Ya looked a little displeased as she stole a glance at Wei Ya.

“No…”

Qiao Sisi closed the drawer and stood up. In any case, she was certain that the bag was in this room. She just did not know where Wei Ya had hidden it.

As long as she was given some time, she would definitely be able to find it.
