Gu Feng's seemingly conventional remark was, in fact, an insinuation. He was implying that Shen Fanyun didn't dare allow a public search because he had a guilty conscience. As for whether Shen Fanyun had actually taken the watch or was being wrongly accused, it didn't matter. The point was that Gu Feng couldn't stand Shen Fanyun. He was eager to witness the man's utter humiliation.
Shen Fanyun showed no significant emotional reaction to Gu Feng's comments. This kid is just jealous that I'm so close to Su Xiyang. It's only natural he'd seize this chance to target me.
Hu Yue was completely surprised that Gu Feng would cooperate with her so readily. With just a few words, he had backed Shen Fanyun into a corner. Shen Fanyun now had to either prove his innocence—and make a fool of himself in the process—or be confirmed as a thief. Either way, Hu Yue, Zhang Lifeng, and even Gu Feng stood to lose nothing.
