Chapter 446: Little Star Is Framed

gift is too disrespectful!""It's just, gifts don't have to be expensive, can't you buy a new one"“......”Li Xuexuan clutched the fake ticket in her hand, her face flushed red and white. She had never...Noble Garden.

First floor dining room.

The man sat upright at the dinner table, the bowl of medicine in front of him had been changed six times.

But still, the familiar footsteps never came.

When Butler Wu entered the dining room again with a steaming bowl of medicine, the man opened his lips and asked, "Wu Shu, what time is it"

"It's eight o'clock, young master."

Wu Guantao knew he was waiting for Mu Xing. He placed the freshly prepared medicine in front of him and advised, "Perhaps Xiao Muxing is delayed by work. He might be on his way right now. Why don't you drink the medicine first You'll also need to have some congee later."

Fu Lingxiao's handsome brows furrowed with worry, his fingers lightly stroking the rim of the bowl.

For a moment, he called out Yun Tuo who was guarding outside the dining room, and commanded in a low voice, “Go and see Mu Xing, and be discreet.”

"Yes."

Yun Tuo drove his car swiftly towards the suburban villa.

To avoid being discovered, he stopped his car at the intersection and walked towards the villa under the cover of darkness.

Under the bright moonlight, the entire villa was pitch black, not a single ray of light could be seen.

Yun Tuo wasn't sure if no one was home or if something had happened, so he quietly snuck inside to check. He went up and down the floors once and confirmed that there was no one around.

He strode out of the villa and called his men: "Find out where Miss Mu Xing is."

As soon as I turned the corner, my subordinates sent me the investigation results.

Yun Tuo got into the car, started the engine, and called Fu Ye to report: "Fu Ye, Miss Mu Xing went to Country Y. She took a flight at 10 am this morning. It seemed like she left in a hurry."

On the phone, Fu Lingxiao's handsome eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Send people from our country to protect her and investigate why she went to country Y."

Yunto: "Yes."

It was 3:00 PM in the afternoon

International flights have landed.

On the plane, Jiang Yan had already told Mu Xing about what Lao Yang had told him.

Previously, Mu Xing helped the Chinese tycoon Duan Hongtu repair a bronze zun. A few days ago, Duan Hongtu wanted to transport the bronze zun back to China. When the shipping company brought in a third party for appraisal testing, it was discovered to be a fake.

Duan Hongtu immediately found the most authoritative appraisal institution, and the appraisal result was still a fake.

When purchasing the bronze disc, it had already been authenticated and confirmed to be genuine. After Mu Xingxiu repaired it, he handed it over with a delivery inspection. He personally placed it in the safe of his study library.

Through multiple tests, Duan Hongtu was present at the scene. Now that it's turned into a lie, the problem must have occurred after it was placed in the safe. He went home and checked the surveillance footage from his study.

As expected, on the night the bronze zun was put into the vault, someone carrying a large box easily bypassed the infrared alarm system to sneak into the study, open the vault, and switch out the real bronze zun.

Although the person covered their face, those eyes were unmistakable under the high-definition surveillance camera.

It was so beautiful, stunningly beautiful, that it was unforgettable.

Duan Hongtu recognized her at once as Mu Xing. Out of respect for his friend Yang Lao, he didn't call the police but contacted Yang Lao instead, asking him to bring Mu Xing over. As long as she returned the stolen goods, he wouldn't press charges.

Of course, Jiang Yan fully believed in Mu Xing. When they got off the plane, he was still comforting her, "Don't be afraid, Xiaoyan. With your brother here, no one will frame you!"

The innocent are always clear. Mu Xing has never been afraid, she just wonders who framed her.

Two people walked out of the station and got into the car Yang Lao had sent.

An hour later, they arrived at a retro-style detached villa located in the south. Unlike the villa's British-style exterior, the interior decoration was full of ancient charm.

A set of intricately carved red sandalwood palace chairs stood in the living room.

A middle-aged man sat at the head of the table. He was Duan Hongtu, a wealthy Chinese businessman and the owner of this villa.

Mr. Yang sat in the main guest seat, his hands clasped around a string of small zitan beads.

Both of them remained silent, the atmosphere heavy with unspoken words.

"Master."

Entering the room, Mu Xing first greeted Lao Yang, then turned to Duan Hongtu in the main seat. "Mr. Duan, Master has already told me about the situation. Could you please show me the surveillance footage"

Duan Hongtu didn't speak, pushing the laptop in his hand forward. Yang Lao was present, his face wasn't too ugly, but he really didn't want to pay attention to a thief.

Mu Xing stepped forward and clicked on the surveillance video. Jiang Yan also immediately came over.

When the video played to that figure coming out of the vault, the monitor captured her face. Mu Xing immediately pressed pause, freezing the frame. The person was wearing a black outfit and a mask, revealing only their eyes.

Ginger Ink was stunned.

These eyes, he has looked at countless times, familiarly etched into his soul.

It's Little Smoke...

But, how could it be Xiaoyan...

Mu Xing also appeared in a moment of stunned silence, looking at the person in the painting, her brows furrowed.

It's no wonder Duan Hongtu insisted it was her. Her figure and those eyes were identical to hers, even she herself found it hard to tell the difference.

Duan Hongtu saw Mu Xing frowning, seeming guilty. His voice carried a hint of pressure as he said: “As your master told you before, just return the bronze zunpan to me, and for your master’s sake, I won’t pursue this matter any further.”

Mu Xing's entire emotional state sank at once, her exquisite features regaining their cool indifference as she looked at Duan Hongtu and said: "Thank you, Mr. Duan, but the person in the video is not me."

"It's not you, then who" Du Honghui's face turned cold.

Mu Xing shook her head and said faintly, “I don’t know.”

"The evidence is conclusive, you still want to deny it"

This little girl, she's already conceded this much, and she's still so clueless!

Duan Hongtu's voice was filled with uncontainable anger, "If it weren't for your master's face, I would have called the police and arrested you long ago! You better be honest and hand over the bronze disk, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Jiang Yan immediately shielded Mu Xing behind him, "My junior sister said it wasn't her, and it wasn't. If you continue to be so aggressive, I won't be polite!"

"Dare to speak insolently to me, boy! Believe me, I'll make you unable to survive in the antique world!"

Duan Hongtu warned sternly.

"Lao Yang, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up. 'My disciple, Yang Shengyun's student, wouldn't steal even if she was incompetent. I called her over to get to the bottom of things, not to be pointed at and scolded.'"

Duan Hongtu heard Yang Lao's words between the lines of defense, turned his head to look at him. After all, Yang Lao was a leader in the antique world. Even if he was angry, he could only suppress some of his anger. "What does Yang Lao mean now"

"Give her a week to investigate and find evidence to clear her name."

Mr. Yang looked at Duan Hontong, his voice firm, "If she can't give you a satisfactory explanation in a week, I, Yang Shengyun, will double your losses and announce my retirement from the antiques world!"

The legendary and powerful Fu Ye's adorable little lover fights like a demon.ding when a sudden turning sound came from the doorknob. The moment Mu Xing turned his head, the door swung open and a man strode in, holding a swimsuit in his hand. "Honey, let's go for a swim," he s...
