Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 295 - 5: Superstar (5)

Bai Jie felt somewhat guilty, thinking the cameras were in the outer hallway, so whatever she did should not be visible. She harbored some luck in her heart.

Not long after, a production assistant returned with the surveillance footage, opened a laptop, plugged in a USB drive containing the copied video, and everyone began watching.

Li Shuning wore a sincere expression: "I really appreciate everyone’s help. I’ll treat everyone to dinner later. This necklace is mainly a birthday gift from my mom, which holds too much meaning, that’s why I’m so anxious. I’m really grateful to everyone."

"Sister Shuning, don’t worry. Since things were lost at the set, we certainly need to find them. Otherwise, what would happen if someone loses something next time?"

"Yes, Sister Shuning, you don’t have to be so polite."

Everyone chimed in with support for Li Shuning.

Indeed, such a beautiful woman, looking so worried, really drew feelings of pity.

Of course, the set is somewhat chaotic, so if anyone takes things opportunistically, they must be caught, or if it happens again, it would be a severe matter for the crew.

Li Shuning recalled the time the necklace was on the dressing table; it was when she changed clothes, before makeup. During makeup, she still saw it, but after getting made up, she went for the shoot. This means the item was lost after ten in the morning.

The surveillance footage was directly fast-forwarded to after ten, and everyone began watching.

There were people coming and going in the hallway, but no one entered Li Shuning’s dressing room.

After all, it was Li Shuning’s exclusive dressing room, so others didn’t dare to intrude.

However, after watching for half an hour without any leads, suddenly Bai Jie, Li Shuning’s assistant, was seen entering the dressing room.

After Bai Jie went in, her figure was vaguely visible, seeming to stop by the dressing table. In the footage, Bai Jie’s hand seemed to grasp something shiny, which sparkled, and then Bai Jie stuffed it into her pants pocket, hurriedly leaving the dressing room with an expression of panic.

Everyone’s gaze shifted to Bai Jie, somewhat in disbelief.

Li Shuning also looked at Bai Jie, her eyes filled with hurt and disbelief... various emotions mingled, making Li Shuning look increasingly pitiful.

Bai Jie anxiously and awkwardly grinned: "I went to find Sister Shuning’s cup at the time, couldn’t find it, and left hurriedly. I didn’t take the necklace."

Li Shuning remained silent for a moment, then quietly said, "Thank you all, I’ll treat you to dinner. It’s just about dinner time now; we had box lunches for lunch, and you must all be hungry. Let’s go."

The others exchanged glances, feeling sorry for Li Shuning. Indeed, what could she do if her assistant stole her belongings?

But it was such a pity; the necklace should be in Bai Jie’s pants pocket, right?

Everyone stood up, ready to leave. Li Shuning’s face must be saved, so they decided to go for dinner, oh.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Bai Jie suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.

Li Shuning had long felt through spiritual power that the necklace was in Bai Jie’s pocket. Bai Jie hadn’t hidden it elsewhere after taking it; her courage had already grown.

Bai Jie fell because the spiritual power materialized, slightly tripping Bai Jie, causing her to naturally fall.

A slight movement of spiritual power hooked the necklace from the pocket, and it fell to the ground.

Bai Jie’s face turned pale instantly; she knew Li Shuning had always been tolerant of her, so as long as there was no concrete evidence, she wouldn’t suffer consequences. She never expected the item to drop out directly; damn it.

Bai Jie awkwardly laughed: "Sister Shuning, I remembered, I saw the necklace at the time and wanted to keep it for you, but then got busy and forgot."

No one believed these words. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Li Shuning’s eyes dimmed, her face full of hurt.

Those present were somewhat silent, but mostly worried for Li Shuning; having such a troublesome assistant really made things hard for her.

At this point, Li Shuning’s manager walked in.

Upon noticing the tense atmosphere, she smiled and said, "What’s happening here?"

Xiao Ya hesitated, glanced at Bai Jie, then at Li Shuning, unable to help herself saying, "Sister Zhang, Bai Jie stole the birthday gift Sister Shuning’s mother gave her, a necklace worth over ten thousand."

Zhang Ying’s face changed, glancing around and found that most of the crew seemed to be there.

This Bai Jie, Shuning never listens. She should have been told not to keep such people.

Someday, this Bai Jie will do something even more outrageous.

"Bai Jie, you should return to the company later, go settle your wages in the finance department, and you don’t need to follow Shuning anymore tomorrow."

Bai Jie’s face turned dramatically, but how could this be? If she doesn’t follow Li Shuning, what would happen to her home? Although Li Shuning gave her a lot of money, and her brother’s illness was treated, she is a woman and needs to dress herself. Without this high salary, how can she maintain her appearance?

"Sister Zhang, you can’t do this to me. I was just helping Shuning put the item away. I’m the only one working in my family; my brother is still undergoing treatment. I can’t be without work. Shuning, please say something on my behalf, I was really just helping you take it."

Bai Jie spoke pitifully.

Zhang Ying glanced at Li Shuning, thinking that usually, Li Shuning would have spoken for Bai Jie earlier, but perhaps she had grown cold-hearted today.

A gift from her mother. Shuning has treated Bai Jie so well, and Bai Jie is just a thankless wretch.

With this thought, Zhang Ying’s heart burned with anger. With so many people around, she didn’t want Li Shuning’s reputation to be harmed, so she straightforwardly said: "Bai Jie, you know well how Shuning has treated you. When you were just a tea-serving girl, bullied by others, it was Shuning who uplifted you and made you her assistant. She even paid for your brother’s surgery; wasn’t he already recovered? You’ve done well, first stealing Shuning’s earrings, then her bag, and now her bracelet. This time, it’s the necklace."

"Think to yourself, have you ever repaid Shuning properly? Every time Shuning speaks for you, thinking it’s tough for you, how do you repay her?"

Li Shuning suddenly spoke: "Sister Zhang, no more talking, Xiao Jie. I’ve treated you generously over the years, and you know this necklace was a gift from my mom. People are valuable for their sincerity. Let’s go, I’ve promised to treat everyone to dinner."

But Bai Jie suddenly grabbed Li Shuning, "Sister Shuning, I know I was wrong. I beg you, don’t drive me away. I won’t dare again in the future."

At this moment, Bai Jie was still clutching the necklace.

Zhang Ying pulled the necklace out, disengaged Bai Jie’s hand from Li Shuning’s, and Li Shuning simply walked away.

Bai Jie watched the group leaving, her eyes filled with hatred.

Li Shuning originally thought she’d have to perform this scene with full emotion. Unexpectedly, Sister Zhang came at the right time, truly serving as divine assistance.
