He s Actually A Sexy Girl? I Erected!

Chapter 407: [407] I have already found the person who stole the watch_1
 

Shi Jinghe’s wife, named Wang Jingmei, was the deputy general manager of a small company.

Usually accustomed to throwing her weight around at the company, today she felt like a suspect under scrutiny, and she was fuming internally.

Seeing Tang Feng approaching her now, her expression grew even icier, “Investigate whomever you want, but please keep your distance from me. If you suspect me of being a thief, you can call the police to arrest me. But you, you don’t have that power.”

Having said that, she walked over to the couch in the living room, sat down, and took on an uncooperative stance.

Once more, Shi Jinghe was irate, “What kind of attitude is that? Isn’t this all to help Big Brother find his lost item? Will cooperating kill you?”

Wang Jingmei scoffed, “Ask a damn Physiognomy Master for help in the investigation? Has Big Brother lost his mind, and have you, too? I can’t believe you are into scientific research and yet believe in such superstitions. All the years of schooling you’ve had, did you digest nothing?”

Shi Jinghe was instantly left speechless by the scolding.

He was a researcher at a small scientific research institution, and he always kept a respectful distance from these so-called “fortune-tellers.”

But today, to help Big Brother find something, he had no choice but to succumb to superstitious beliefs.

However, deep down, he was unconvinced by such methods.

Could such trickery really find the lost items?

If fortune-tellers were enough, what would we need the police for?

Hao Yi, who had been watching from the sidelines, did not miss the opportunity to detract, “That’s what I’m saying, relying on a hocus-pocus charlatan to find lost property? Isn’t that a joke?”

Wang Jingmei immediately felt she had found a kindred spirit in Hao Yi, forming an “anti-superstition” alliance with him.

In the entire room, it was probably only Zhou Bingrui and Shi Jingpeng who believed in Tang Feng’s Physiognomy Skill.

Tang Feng didn’t take it to heart and directly skipped over Wang Jingmei, walking towards their son, Shi Hao.

This little guy, eight or nine years old and chubby, was looking up at him with curiosity.

Tang Feng had to squat down to talk face to face with him.

“Come on, look at this apple.”

Shi Hao stared at the apple for a while, suddenly grabbed it, and took a big bite, “Yummy!”

Tang Feng couldn’t help but curse inwardly at the gluttony.

Fortunately, the apple was only part of his sleight of hand and served no real purpose.

He had already completed scanning Shi Hao, whose mind was filled with simple thoughts, all related to food.

Definitely a little foodie.

He then stood up and turned his gaze to the last suspect, Shi Jinghe’s daughter—Shi Lin.

This girl was around seventeen or eighteen, very… eclectic in both dress and appearance.

Her hair was dyed in a riot of colors, and even her clothes were quite flashy.

Even though Tang Feng was only in his twenties, he found it hard to accept this aesthetic.

With gum in her mouth, Shi Lin wore a defiant look.

“Come on, look at this apple.”

Tang Feng repeated as he approached her.

But Shi Lin didn’t pay any attention to him and kept her head down, engrossed in a game on her phone.

Tang Feng watched her a few moments longer, then smiled, put away the apple, and walked away.

It was then that Shi Jingpeng approached, “Mr. Tang, have you… discovered anything?”

He was extremely anxious, hoping Tang Feng had found something that could help retrieve his pocket watch and resolve his crisis.

Yet, he also feared creating a rift if he found it had been stolen by a family member, wondering how they would face each other in the future.

Tang Feng looked at him and smiled, “Mr. Shi, would you like me to find someone, or would you prefer not to?”

Shi Jingpeng couldn’t help but give a wry smile, “Mr. Tang, please stop putting me on the spot. I really don’t know what I hope for.”

Tang Feng took a bite of the apple and said indifferently, “I have found the person who stole the watch.”

“Whoosh…”

The room fell silent instantly.

Everyone’s eyes were uniformly fixed on Tang Feng.

From his words, it seemed the thief was among Shi Jinghe’s family members.

Wang Jingmei stood up abruptly, glaring at him with anger, “What do you mean? Are you trying to slander us? A broken watch, who would want to steal that?”

Even the normally good-tempered Shi Jinghe darkened his face, “Young man, you can eat food indiscriminately, but you must not speak recklessly.”

“Yeah, young man, reckless talk can ruin the relationships between family members. You’d better present evidence,” Hao Yi also couldn’t resist speaking up for Shi Jinghe’s family.

“Mr. Tang, are you sure?” Shi Jingpeng was somewhat uneasy. Although he was eager to know the whereabouts of the pocket watch, he also feared damaging his relationship with his brother and his family.

The others, although silent, watched Tang Feng tensely.

“If I dare to say this, of course, I’m certain. Do you need me to reveal who it is?” Tang Feng continued munching on his apple while glancing at the irate Wang Jingmei.

“Why are you looking at me? Are you trying to say that I stole the watch? You’re slandering me,” Wang Jingmei was immediately enraged, and if it wasn’t for Shi Jinghe holding her back, she would have gone after Tang Feng.

“I never said it was you; you said it yourself.” Tang Feng sat on the couch, eating his apple unconcerned.

Now, the decision was in Shi Jingpeng’s hands. It was up to him to make a choice.

After a moment of frowning and contemplation, Shi Jingpeng ultimately chose to believe Tang Feng.

But not wanting the situation to become too ugly, he sighed.

“I didn’t expect things to escalate to this point; first of all, I want to apologize to everyone. If it were anything else, losing it would be fine. But right now, I really need this pocket watch to save my life. Whoever took it, please return it now. I will not blame them.”

His plea was sincerely articulated, and he was almost ready to kneel.

Shi Jinghe furrowed his brows and then turned to look at his wife, “Did you take it? If it was you, give it back to Big Brother right now.”

“What are you implying? You suspect me? You actually suspect me?” Wang Jingmei looked at him in disbelief.

“If not you, then who? Would the kids steal things?” Shi Jinghe’s annoyance was starting to show, his voice getting louder.

“Kids wouldn’t steal, so that means I would? Do you trust me at all?”

“It wasn’t me who stole it, and it wasn’t the kids. If not you, then who else could it be?”

“Wow, so we have no trust left at all? Shi Jinghe, I want a divorce.”

“Let’s divorce then, I’m not scared…”
