Xiao Ren nodded seriously: "I have asked the staff to search all the places carefully, but I didn't see the watch."
"The engagement ceremony will begin soon. This is a diamond watch worth nearly 20 million, and it is also an engagement gift given to our second young master by Miss Xu. If we lose it, the Xu family might think that we don't take it seriously.
Miss Xu, what should I do?"
"That's why I came here to ask all the young masters and ladies if you have seen that watch. If anyone can provide information, Xiao will be grateful!"
"You've searched everywhere, but you didn't see a watch?" A certain second-generation rich man frowned, and then asked, "Do you want to check the staff present?"
"We have searched the staff's belongings and found nothing. We also checked the makeup artists and maids who had been in and out of the dressing room on the second floor, but found nothing."
Su Weixin shouted exaggeratedly from the side: "It is impossible for such a big diamond watch to disappear for no reason. Someone must have stolen it. We all saw that watch when we were chatting with Brother Hongyu upstairs. Now we have just come down."
Not long after, maybe someone took advantage of the chaos and stole the watch on the dressing table and hid it!"
As he said that, he looked at the people who had been to the dressing room before.
"Although the next words are not pleasant to hear, in order to prove our innocence, I think those of us who have entered the dressing room should undergo examination!"
"This is not good. All the people present are distinguished guests invited by the Second Young Master." Seeing someone helping him, Xiao Ren curled his lips without any trace, but still pretended to be embarrassed on the surface.
"There's nothing wrong with it. We walked and sat upright and didn't steal anything, so we certainly don't feel guilty. Don't you think so?"
When Su Weixin said this, the people around him naturally had no objections.
"Of course, we didn't steal anything. We can check it for you at will."
"Butler Xiao, don't worry, we won't blame you. After all, the watch is really missing, and it's hard for you to do business."
"I'm really sorry." Xiao Ren said to the people in front of him with an apologetic look, "We are all friends of the second young master. It's so rude of me to do this. But the engagement ceremony is about to start, and we don't have much time.
I can only be offended."
"Steward Xiao, please check mine first!" Su Weixin knew that Xiao Ren was highly regarded by Yan Hongyu, so he took the initiative to hand over his backpack.
"You can check it as you like, it's okay."
Su Weixin was carrying a casual backpack today. He unzipped the backpack and handed it to Xiao Ren. Xiao Ren only symbolically took a look inside the backpack before giving it back to Su Weixin.
"I checked, and it's not in it. Master Su is a gentleman and would never do such sneaky things."
Then Xiao Ren looked at the others: "I also believe in the character of all young masters and ladies. The current inspection is just a routine matter."
Several rich girls who brought handbags also handed over their own designer bags.
Xiao Ren looked apologetic, but still looked at it perfunctorily, without rummaging around in the bag, and quickly returned their bags.
Since most of Yan Hongyu's male friends were wearing formal attire, except for two who brought business bags, the others came empty-handed.
Xiao Ren also glanced at the two business bags symbolically, and then sighed helplessly: "I already knew this would be the result. How could such a precious diamond watch disappear out of thin air?"
"Wait a minute, Butler Xiao, there is another person you didn't search!" Su Weixin jumped out again, "Xu Tian has been to the dressing room before, and he also brought a bag, so he should check it carefully!"
Su Weixin's words made everyone present turn their attention to Xu Tian.
Because Xiao Ren and his staff searched the banquet hall inside and outside, not only Yan Hongyu's friends, but also all the guests who came to the engagement ceremony now knew that an expensive diamond watch was missing. Zheng San
Groups of five gathered together and discussed in whispers.
"Did you hear that Second Young Master Yan's diamond watch was lost? We searched the entire banquet hall and still couldn't find it."
"Only Mr. Yan's friends have entered the dressing room. Maybe there is a thief among them."
"But these people are all good friends of Er Shao Yan. How could they steal? Moreover, many of these people are rich and wealthy, so it is unlikely, right?"
"Aren't there still ordinary people? The thief is probably among those ordinary people."
"I think there is someone who is more suspicious." Suddenly a voice came out from the crowd, "The others are friends of the Second Young Master even if they are from ordinary families. It is impossible for them to steal his things, but that person is different."
"Who are you talking about?"
"It's Xu Tiantian, the godson of the eldest son of the Yan family. He has no friendship with Second Young Master Yan, and he is still a poor boy. Maybe he took it away when he saw the priceless diamond watch and was jealous of the money!"
"I also think there is something wrong with him. After all, he is the only outsider in the Yan family. He is such an adult, how can he casually accept his godfather as his godmother? I think he wants to be with a rich man and have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life."
"But I didn't expect that stealing the chicken will end up losing the rice. The boss of the Yan family has been kicked out of the house a long time ago. He also owes a lot of debt. Now he is extremely poor. It is impossible to give that kid a prosperous life. That's why he keeps pestering him.
I follow Yan Qingxue and run to the old house every now and then, trying to get some benefits from Mr. Yan and Mrs. Yan!"
"But Mr. Yan and the others are not fools. How can they promote an outsider casually? Even if there are any benefits, they can only be given to his own granddaughter and grandson."
"Look at the suit he was wearing, it probably cost less than two hundred yuan. He must have been unwilling to get any benefits, so he took the opportunity to steal Mr. Yan's watch."
"So the thief must be Xu Tian. I heard that this kid has bad conduct and has been fired from several companies."
"Yes, I also heard that he was once the adopted son of a small boss who ran a clothing company. As a result, he was kicked out of his family not long after graduating from college."
…
Xiao Ren glanced at the guests and at the same time quietly winked in a certain direction among the guests.
Soon, a few low-key dressed people quietly retreated from the guests, leaving only those guests who thought they had gotten a piece of cake and were still talking indignantly.
"I didn't expect this kid to have so many faces!"
"He must have done something unforgivable before he was kicked out by his adoptive father's family."
"Families that are able to adopt orphans are good people. How can they easily kick their adopted children out of the house unless they have to?"
"He's just a mean person who follows people's influence. He eagerly sticks to him wherever there is benefit. But this time he is probably going to stick to the iron plate. The Yan family is not like a small family like the Xu family, where he can be allowed to do whatever he wants."
"I guess he can't get any benefits from the Yan family, so he's worried."
"That watch is worth nearly 20 million. Even if he takes it out and sells it through some channels, he can still get more than 10 million, which will definitely be enough for him to squander it for a while!"
When Su Weixin heard the comments of the guests next to him, he raised his eyebrows at Xu Tian proudly, and his tone was as excited as if he had caught a thief: "Xu Tian, give your bag to Butler Xiao quickly and let him check it!"
Xu Tian put down the watermelon in his hand, stood up calmly and said, "I didn't take Yan Hongyu's watch, why did you search my bag?"
