An Xiaotong paused for a moment and then continued, "…Then Du Tian called Father Du, but he didn't expect Father Du to say he never touched that jewelry box, and insisted Du Tian took it himself.
Their argument erupted over the phone, and tonight, as his father was getting off work, he went to the old house again, determined to get to the bottom of this."
"Since nobody admits to taking it, and something so valuable is lost, why not report it to the police?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked.
"Du Tian said if he really can't find it, he would report it to the police, but then he got scolded harshly by his father. Makes sense, reporting to the police would definitely affect Father Du's reputation," An Xiaotong said worriedly.
Gu Qiaoqiao frowned slightly but had to remind, "Sister Xiaotong, in this matter, don't be too soft-hearted. If it's not an inside job, then it's theft. Why not report it? Besides, it's not like it was gained through corruption; it's a relic left by Big Brother Du's mother."
