Chapter 468: Taking Control of Sovereignty

My thoughts were a bit jumbled for a moment, and the thought of Cheng Yu being so close with her made my heart achingly uncomfortable, to the point of feeling oppressively suffocated.

But no matter what, Lin Xiaxian was the agent for this gem, and now that there's a problem with it, even if it's highly likely that she did the bait-and-switch herself, I can't accuse her without evidence, and I have to apologize to her.

Suppressing the sourness in my heart, my voice came out a bit hoarse and dry, "About the gem being switched, Miss Lin, I'm deeply sorry. I will definitely get to the bottom of this, and if the gem can't be found, I will surely compensate at market value. I hope you can help me get in touch with the owner of the gem so we can discuss the compensation issue."

I spoke these formal words somewhat mechanically; my original intention in seeking Cheng Yu's help was to avoid involving Lin Xiaxian as an intermediary.
