Xie Ming'an's expression flickered. A moment later, a thought struck him, and he turned and strode quickly from the Ministry of Justice, rushing home.
He made a beeline for the private storeroom in his courtyard and ordered an attendant to open the doors.
"Tell Uncle Pang to bring the gift register from the other day. I want him to come here and cross-reference everything to find the gift from the Chen Family."
Seeing Xie Ming'an's cold, grim expression, the young servants didn't dare utter a word of protest.
A short while later, the housekeeper, Uncle Pang, rushed over with a register in his hands.
After leading his men through a thorough check of each item, he produced a long brocade box decorated with an auspicious lotus pattern.
"This is the one from the Chen Family."
Xie Ming'an opened the box and saw the very same multi-colored gemstone bracelet resting inside.
His expression instantly turned thunderous.
