As everyone ascended the staircase, they continued their discussion.

“I heard that ‘the Heart of the Kingdom’ has already been bought by an anonymous billionaire. I wonder who could own such a rare treasure.”

“Whoever owns ‘the Heart of the Kingdom’ is truly fortunate. Its value now must be immeasurable.”

Everyone gradually moved upstairs and, guided by the waiter, entered a room.

To her surprise, Xia Yangyang discovered it was the odd exhibition room she had unintentionally entered earlier.

Yangyang felt a hint of confusion in her heart.

If this is such a rare treasure, why was it so easy to enter the exhibit room without even a locked door?

Everyone had already entered the exhibit room.

The lights inside were peculiar, with the reflections from the crystal casting flowing patterns on the walls.

Surrounded on all sides, it felt as if one was submerged underwater.

The guide held a remote control and said, “Now, ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy ‘the Heart of the Kingdom.'”

As he pressed the button, an elevator platform slowly appeared in the exhibition center amidst the music.

Contained within the platform was a transparent glass showcase.

Everyone gathered around, eagerly awaiting the reveal of the ‘Heart of the Kingdom.’

But the moment the glass displays complete reveal occurred, someone exclaimed: “The Heart of the Kingdom is gone!”

The entire exhibit hall erupted in an uproar.

“It’s really gone, what has happened, has it been stolen?”

“But every attendee today had to undergo fingerprint identification. If the ‘Heart of the Kingdom’ was lost today, then there is definitely an inside job.”

The emcee was thoroughly panicked.

The manager responsible for the exhibit hall’s security quickly arrived.

Security guards suddenly commenced surrounding the exterior of the exhibition hall.

The manager stepped in and announced: “The ‘Heart of the Kingdom’ has been stolen; this is a major matter. Currently, we are fervently investigating and ask for everyone’s cooperation. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience brought upon the honored guests.”

This thief is audacious to steal such a valuable object in broad daylight. We must thoroughly investigate, or else we will all be suspects.”

These well-born aristocrats cared the most about their reputation.

Having the suspicion of theft thrown on everyone was naturally intolerable.

Therefore, they were all very cooperative in the investigation.

Some began whispering: “Who do you think it could be? Could it truly be an inside job? That’s pretty bold to steal something that valuable.”

The ‘Heart of the Kingdom’ is worth 14 million US dollars, around a billion in local currency. With its current priceless status, if identified, with such a huge sum, the thief will likely spend the rest of their life in prison.”

After a while,

The security manager walked in, announcing: “We’ve reviewed the surveillance footage. Three hours ago, the gem was still safely inside its display case. The only two people seen near the entrance of the exhibit room within these three hours are two guests present here.”

The crowd once again erupted into a frenzy, everyone exchanging looks.

The security manager’s statement suggested that the suspect was either of those two persons or that it was a team crime.

Someone couldn’t help but ask: “Who is it? Who dared to steal ‘the Heart of the Kingdom’?”

The security manager’s gaze swept across the crowd and then sternly announced: “It’s Miss Shen Manbing and Miss Xia Yangyang.”
