Gu Xiang lowered her head and sat quietly in the chair, seeming very calm, but the tightly clenched hands grasping the mineral water bottle revealed the turmoil in her heart.

  Twenty minutes ago, Du Hao suddenly appeared and somehow made the police officer who was asking Gu Mian questions and Zhu Kai leave the conference room together, leaving the space for the two of them. After that, the two people remained silent and didn't speak a word.

  "Don't worry about the jade bowl, you won't be wronged." Du Hao finally broke the silence.

  Gu Mei's hand tightened, and the mineral water bottle made a sound due to being squeezed.

  "Is this something you've arranged?" Gu Mian slowly raised her head and asked Du Hao.

  Du Hao walked up to Gu Mian and stood still, saying frankly: "It was I who arranged it."

  "Why? I've already said we have nothing to do with each other, why are you still doing this? Are you trying to harm me or make amends?" Gu Mian stared tightly at Du Hao, demanding an explanation from him.

  She had previously suspected that being transferred to the appraisal room and Director Zhou's unusual kindness towards her were both Du Hao's doing, but she had never found any evidence. However, as soon as she saw Du Hao suddenly appear, she immediately confirmed in her heart that what happened to her at the auction house was related to Du Hao.

  "Could it be that you suspect I arranged today's events?" Du Hao listened to Gu Mian's words, realizing that something didn't seem quite right, and his face suddenly turned ugly.

  Gu Meng smiled coldly: "Although I'm very ashamed of some of the things you've done, but I also don't believe that the jade bowl being switched was something you framed me for."

  Du Hao's expression on his face eased slightly: "Then why did you say I was harming you? I just wanted to make things easier for you, as you saw, if no one helped, how could you possibly be transferred to the appraisal room, and very likely with your good friend sorting out documents or doing some physical labor setting up the venue."

  "I don't have experience, doing those trivial things is normal, I didn't even complain, no need for you to make a fuss. Moreover...” Gu Mian paused and said with a hint of sarcasm: “If I hadn't been transferred to the appraisal room, maybe I wouldn't have encountered this morning's events at all, let alone being interrogated as a suspect."

  Gu Meng clearly knew that this couldn't be entirely blamed on Du Hao, but she was being wronged. She was being doubted, and although she didn't say anything out loud and her face didn't show any expression, inside she was seething with anger, only she hadn't found a way to vent it yet so she just endured silently.

  At this moment, I saw Du Hao. I thought of Du Hao's absurdity in backing out of the wedding at the last minute, my grandfather's illness, and the ostracism by others in the appraisal room because they were jealous of Zhou's special treatment of her. Old and new grievances surged up together, and I couldn't help but vent my anger on Du Hao.

  Facing Gu Mian's anger, Du Hao didn't get angry, instead he said to Gu Mian: "I didn't expect this would happen either. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you come here. Mianmian, I know you're not happy with my arrangement. But you can't deny that sometimes the world is like this, even if you work hard and are excellent, if no one paves the way for you, it's possible that your talents will never be seen by others in your lifetime."

  "You mean to say that you can let me show off my talents? Du Hao, what's wrong with your brain, our relationship ended the moment you got married. Whether I can show off my talents or not, whether I'll be bullied or not, has nothing to do with you." Gu Mian sneered disdainfully.

  "Mingming, I mean it. Don't you really understand?" Du Hao asked in a low voice.

  Gu Xiang's heart skipped a beat as she looked at Du Hao warily: "What do you mean?"

  "What did you mean by that?" Du Hao asked with a low chuckle.

  "I've said it before, we're done. I believe your ears are fine. If I recall correctly, you wanted to give me a check initially. It was also because you didn't want me to cling to you, so what's the meaning of this now?" Gu Mian narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of danger seeped into his tone.

  Du Hao just smiled and didn't respond to Gu Mian's words.

  Looking at Du Hao's face, which was smiling so brightly it was almost dazzling, and thinking about what he had just said, Gu Mian suddenly understood a problem that had been troubling her for a long time.

  It's obvious that Director Zhou was instructed by Du Hao to give her special treatment, but according to Du Hao's usual approach, if it was for her sake, he wouldn't have let Director Zhou be so blatant about it, which would have caused dissatisfaction among others.

  The only explanation is that Du Hao did it on purpose!

  "Was it you who made Director Zhou treat me like that in front of others?" Gu Mian asked.

  "Yes." Du Hao looked at Gu Mian deeply and nodded: "I'm also doing it for your own good, I want you to see certain things clearly as soon as possible."

  Gu Meng clenched her teeth and restrained herself from slapping Du Hao: "Is this for my own good?"

  "Mmmmmm..."

  Knock knock knock... Someone is knocking on the door.

  "There's been a new development in the Jade Bowl switch case, I don't know if you've finished discussing it yet, but there are some things that Miss Gu should come forward about." Zhu Kai pushed open the door and looked at the two people in the room with an interested expression, noticing that the atmosphere was somewhat off.

  "Alright." Du Hao withdrew his smile that was directed at Gu Mian and nodded towards Zhu Kai.

  "Miss Gu, please come with me for a moment." Zhu Kai said to Gu Mian.

  Gu Meng didn't say a word, walked around Du Hao and went to Zhu Kai's front, then followed Zhu Kai out of the conference room. Du Hao didn't know what kind of mentality he had, also followed behind the two people, without any intention of leaving.

  "Officer Zhu, what's new with the case?" Gu Mian asked hastily, not having time to indulge in Du Hao's nonsense.

  Zhu Kai glanced at Gu Mian and said slowly, "The switched jade bowl has been found. I'd like to ask you to confirm whether it's the same one from last night."

  "Really?" Gu Meng looked at Zhu Kai in surprise and asked again: "Do you know who replaced the jade bowl after all?"

  "Got it." Zhu Kai nodded.

  "Who is it?" Gu Mian asked again.

  "Feng Wei and Tian Tian." Zhu Kai looked at Gu Mian with a hint of a smile.

  Teacher Feng and Tian Tiantian?

  Gu Xiang was shocked, and a inexplicable feeling surged up in her heart. Teacher Feng had suspected before, but she had never suspected Tian Tian.

  Why is Tian Tian still here?
