Chapter 566: Caught Red-Handed!

Just as everyone was accusing Xu Tian, Yan Hongyu took the initiative to stand up and said to Xiao Ren with an attitude of settling things: "Xiao Guanjia, no need to search, I believe Xu Tian will not steal my watch."

Xiao Ren immediately said upon hearing this: "Young Master Hongyu, you can know people and faces but not hearts, and everyone who has been to the dressing room except Young Master Xu Tian has been searched. Now only he is special. Is it unfair to your other friends?"

"And the reason I want to check is not to doubt Young Master Xu Tian, but to clear his name. Now everyone knows your watch is lost, and there will definitely be rumors. If everyone misunderstands Young Master Xu Tian and thinks he is a thief, that would be bad."

"But..." Yan Hongyu was still a bit tangled, "Xu Tian is my cousin after all, how can I..."

"Hongyu, you are still too easy to trust people!" At this time, Yan Ershen walked out of the crowd. "If Xu Tian is really open and honest, he would definitely take out the bag for everyone to check now. Since he refuses, it's clear that he has a guilty conscience. How long have you known him and you trust him so much? Aren't you afraid of being cheated!"

Hongyu's body stiffened, but he still quickly retorted: "Xu Tian is really not that kind of person. I was also his college alumnus. I know him. He would definitely not do such a thing as stealing!"

"Son, you can know people and faces but not hearts. I'll just ask you one thing: if he is really innocent and didn't steal anything, then why doesn't he dare to let others check?"

Yan Ershen hugged her shoulders, her eyes scanning Xu Tian coldly.

"Big Brother and Sister-in-law are really capable. Their own behavior is not clean, they make the Old Master angry all day long, and now they have just recognized a godson, and within a few days, he has learned to steal chickens and touch dogs!"

Yan Ershen's words made everyone else around have a few more disgusts for Xu Tian and Yan Jinsong's family.

Previously, several versions of gossip about how Yan Jinsong was kicked out of the Yan family had been circulating, the most common of which was that Yan Jinsong stole from his own family, misappropriated public funds, and colluded with other companies to seize the resources of the Yan Corporation. Finally, the incident was exposed, and he was removed from his post by the furious Yan Family Patriarch and kicked out of the house.

Now those college classmates who originally had a good impression of Xu Tian took the initiative to retreat to the side and draw a line with him.

And those rich young masters who looked at Xu Tian with displeasure because of Yan Hongyu were even more in a state of watching a good show, waiting to see Xu Tian being searched, and then caught red-handed.

Yan Jinsong and Su Xiuya saw the surrounding crowd staring at them with disgusted eyes, and their faces were a bit ugly, but they also felt a bit strange about the reactions of Xu Tian and Yan Qingxue.

They certainly believed in Xu Tian and firmly believed that Xu Tian would not steal Yan Hongyu's watch, but now that they had been doubted by everyone, why didn't they just open the bag for everyone to check and clear their suspicion?

"Young Master Xu Tian, the engagement ceremony is about to start. Just open the bag and let us check it. Please don't delay everyone's precious time, okay?" Xiao Ren showed a very difficult look.

Xu Tian looked at the middle-aged man standing in front of him calmly and sneered: "You are not a law enforcer, what right do you have to check my briefcase?"

Xiao Ren's face changed, and then he squeezed out a formulaic smile: "Although I am not a law enforcer, as a butler, my duty is to find the stolen watch for the Second Young Master. Now that you, Young Master Xu Tian, are suspected, in order to prove your innocence, you should try your best to cooperate. If there is really nothing I am looking for in your bag, then I will personally apologize to you later."

Xu Tian was unmoved by Xiao Ren's words: "Since you are not a law enforcer, why can you conclude whether I am suspected at will? I know very well that I didn't steal Yan Hongyu's watch, and I have no obligation to hand over my private items to cooperate with your inspection."

Xiao Ren's smile froze on his face. He never thought that things would develop to this point. Xu Tian still refused to hand over the bag for him to check. Could it be that this kid discovered something?

Then if he insisted on not handing over the bag, he really couldn't do anything to him.

Yan Ershen saw that Xu Tian refused to take out the bag for everyone to check, as if she had caught some handle of his, and jumped out to shout loudly: "Dad, Mom, this is not that I want to slander my own nephew. If Xu Tian has no ghosts in his heart, why doesn't he take out the bag for us to check openly?"

The Yan Family Patriarch and the Old Madam Yan stared at Xu Tian for a long time before opening their mouths: "Xu Tian, if you really didn't take Hongyu's watch, just open the bag and let everyone see."

"Grandpa, Grandma, of course I can open the bag for you to check, but today is Yan Hongyu's engagement ceremony, and there are so many guests present. If things get too big, I'm afraid it will affect the reputation of the Yan family." Xu Tian frowned and looked at the two old people in front of him with some difficulty.

Yan Ershen saw that Xu Tian had such an attitude, so she became even more fearless.

"You say that, are you admitting that you stole the watch and don't want to make things big and embarrass yourself? You are young, how can your heart be so bad that you actually stole from your own cousin!"

"And when you steal, you don't steal, but you have to steal at our Hongyu's engagement ceremony. Isn't this clearly wanting to make our Yan family lose face!"

"Looking at your dead pig not afraid of boiling water, I guess this is definitely not the first time you have stolen. Hurry up and explain truthfully, how many things did you take the opportunity to steal when you came to the old house for dinner before?"

Facing Yan Ershen's unreasonable accusation, Xu Tian just responded lightly: "Second Aunt, slander requires legal responsibility."

"How did I slander you? Isn't what I said the truth?" Yan Ershen was still relentless.

"Enough! Stop arguing!" The Yan Family Patriarch roared, and then looked at Xiao Ren: "Xiao Guanjia, go and check Xu Tian's briefcase."

"Grandpa." Xu Tian said coldly, "Since you insist on checking, I can cooperate, but the ugly words are in front. If the result of the check really affects the reputation of the Yan family, it will all be borne by Second Aunt, and it has nothing to do with me."

After Xu Tian said that, he handed the briefcase in his hand to Xiao Ren.

The huge banquet hall suddenly became quiet. Everyone's eyes were on Xu Tian's bag, holding their breath and waiting for Xiao Ren's inspection result.

Xiao Ren took Xu Tian's briefcase confidently, and directly pulled open the interlayer on the side, taking out an exquisitely crafted diamond watch from inside.

Yan Ershen saw Xiao Ren take out the watch and seemed to have confidence, shouting even more fiercely.

"Caught red-handed! Xu Tian, you are that thief!"

Su Xiuya and Yan Jinsong, who originally believed in Xu Tian, saw the watch really being turned out from Xu Tian's briefcase, and were all stunned.

They never thought that Xu Tian actually took Yan Hongyu's watch. ===== CHAPTER 567 =====
