Chapter 564: Unhurried

Xiao Ren nodded with a serious face: "I have already ordered the staff to search every place carefully, but I didn't see that watch."

"The engagement ceremony is about to start soon. This is a diamond watch worth nearly 20 million, and it is also an engagement gift from Miss Xu to our Second Young Master. If it is really lost, it might be thought by the Xu family that we don't value Miss Xu. What should we do!"

"That's why I came to ask you young masters and ladies to see if you have seen that watch. If anyone can provide information, I, Xiao, will be very grateful!"

"All places have been searched, but the watch hasn't been seen?" A certain rich second generation frowned and asked again: "Should we check the staff present?"

"We have already searched the staff's personal belongings, but found nothing. And we also checked the makeup artists and servants who entered and exited the dressing room on the second floor, but found nothing."

Su Weixin shouted exaggeratedly from the side: "Such a big diamond watch can't disappear for no reason. Someone must have stolen it. We all saw that watch when we were chatting with Brother Hongyu upstairs just now. Now that we haven't been down for long, maybe someone took advantage of the chaos to steal the watch on the dressing table and hide it!"

Saying that, he looked at the few people who had been to the dressing room before.

"Although the following words are not very pleasant, in order to prove our innocence, I think those of us who have entered the dressing room should accept an inspection!"

"This is not very good, everyone present is a distinguished guest invited by the Second Young Master." Seeing someone helping to speak, Xiao Ren hooked the corners of his mouth imperceptibly, but on the surface, he still pretended to be in a dilemma.

"There's nothing wrong with it. We walk straight and sit upright, and we didn't steal anything, so we naturally don't have a guilty conscience, don't you think?"

Su Weixin said this, and the few people around naturally had no opinion.

"Of course, we didn't steal anything, you can check us as you like."

"Xiao Guanjia, don't worry, we won't blame you. After all, the watch is really missing, and it's not easy for you to report back."

"I'm really sorry." Xiao Ren said to the few people in front of him with an apologetic face. "Everyone is a friend of the Second Young Master, it's too rude for me to do this, but the engagement ceremony is about to start, there is not much time, so I can only offend you."

"Xiao Guanjia, check mine first!" Su Weixin knew that Xiao Ren was highly valued by Yan Hongyu, so he took the initiative to hand over his backpack.

"You can check it as you like, it doesn't matter."

Su Weixin was carrying a casual backpack today. He pulled open the zipper of the backpack and handed it to Xiao Ren. Xiao Ren just symbolically poked his head into the backpack to take a look and then returned it to Su Weixin.

"I've checked, there's nothing inside. Young Master Su is a gentleman, he would definitely not do such a thing as stealing chickens and touching dogs."

Immediately after, Xiao Ren looked at the others: "I also believe in the character of all the young masters and ladies. The current inspection is just a routine matter."

Several rich young ladies who brought handbags also handed over their designer bags.

Xiao Ren looked apologetic, and still just looked at them perfunctorily, without searching through the bags at will, and soon returned their bags to them.

Because most of Yan Hongyu's male friends were wearing formal suits, except for two people who brought business bags, the others came empty-handed.

Xiao Ren also symbolically glanced at the two business bags, and then sighed helplessly: "I knew this would be the result. How could such a precious diamond watch disappear into thin air?"

"Wait a minute, Xiao Guanjia, there is one more person you haven't searched!" Su Weixin jumped out again. "Xu Tian also went to the dressing room before, and he also brought a bag, so he should be checked carefully!"

Su Weixin's words made everyone present focus all their attention on Xu Tian.

Because Xiao Ren took the staff to search the inside and outside of the banquet hall, not only Yan Hongyu's few friends, but now all the guests who came to attend the engagement ceremony knew that a diamond watch of considerable value was lost, and they were gathering in groups of three or five to whisper and discuss.

"Did you hear? Second Young Master Yan's diamond watch is lost, and the entire banquet hall has been searched, but it still hasn't been found."

"Only those few friends of Young Master Yan entered the dressing room. Maybe there is a thief among them."

"But these people are all good friends of Second Young Master Yan, how could they steal? And many of these people are rich young ladies and masters, so it's not very likely, right?"

"Aren't there still ordinary people? I guess the thief is among those few ordinary people."

"I think one person is more suspicious." A voice suddenly came from the crowd. "Others, even if their family background is ordinary, are friends of the Second Young Master, so it's impossible for them to steal his things, but that person is different."

"Who are you talking about?"

"It's Xu Tian, the godson of the eldest of the Yan family. He has no friendship with the Second Young Master, and he is a poor boy. Maybe he saw that priceless diamond watch and was blinded by money, so he just took it away!"

"I also think he has a problem. After all, he is the only outsider in the Yan family. He is so old, how could he just recognize a godfather and godmother? I think he wants to cling to a big money, so he can live without worries for the rest of his life."

"But I didn't expect that stealing chickens wouldn't lose rice. The eldest of the Yan family had long been kicked out of the house and owed a debt. Now he is so poor that he is poor. It is impossible to give that kid a prosperous life, so he always pestered Yan Qingxue and ran to the old house every few days, wanting to get some benefits from the Old Master and Old Madam Yan!"

"But the Yan Family Patriarch and the others are not fools. How could they promote an outsider casually? Even if there are any benefits, they can only be given to their own grandchildren."

"Look at his suit, I guess it doesn't exceed two hundred yuan. He must have not gotten any benefits and was unwilling, so he took the opportunity to steal Second Young Master Yan's watch."

"So the thief must be Xu Tian. I heard that this kid has bad character and has been fired by several companies."

"Yes, I also heard that he used to be the adopted son of a small boss who ran a clothing company, but he was kicked out by his family not long after graduating from college."

Xiao Ren glanced at those guests, and at the same time gave a wink to a certain direction among the guests calmly.

Soon, several people dressed in low-key clothes quietly retreated from the guests, leaving only those guests who thought they had eaten the first-hand melon still discussing indignantly.

"I didn't expect this kid to have several faces!"

"He must have done something intolerable to heaven and earth to be kicked out by his adoptive father's family."

"Families that can adopt orphans are all kind people. How could they easily kick their adopted son out of the house unless it was a last resort?"

"He is just a villain who follows the trend. Wherever there are benefits, he sticks to it. But this time I guess he is going to stick to the iron plate. The Yan family is not like the small family of the Xu family, and he can do whatever he wants."

"I guess he couldn't get any benefits from the Yan family, so he was anxious."

"That watch is worth nearly 20 million. Even if he takes it out to find a channel to sell it, he can exchange it for more than 10 million, which is definitely enough for him to squander for a while!"

Su Weixin heard the discussions of the guests nearby, and raised his eyebrows at Xu Tian very proudly, his tone as excited as if he had already caught the thief: "Xu Tian, hurry up and give your bag to Xiao Guanjia, let him check it!"

Xu Tian put down the watermelon in his hand, stood up unhurriedly and said: "I didn't take Yan Hongyu's watch, why should I search my bag?" ===== CHAPTER 565 =====
