"Sorry, no one can leave the banquet hall now!"
Just when everyone was wondering what Xu Xiong and his son wanted to do, Xu Xiong suddenly rushed to the front and shouted.
As soon as he said this, the banquet hall suddenly fell into chaos.
"What's going on? Why can't you leave the banquet hall?"
"What happened?"
Faced with the question, Xu Xiong glanced around below with a serious look. After confirming that there was no Su Chen in the banquet hall, he sneered in his heart, and then said in a deep voice: "One of the items in today's auction was stolen. Now we need to check the scene." Check with everyone!"
"The lot is lost? This is too outrageous, isn't it? Who is so brave!"
"Which lot is missing?"
The guests who were still smiling were shocked when they heard the news.
Everyone present is a respectable person, and even if the desired item is not photographed, it is absolutely impossible to steal it.
"What was lost was the Yuan blue and white sea water dragon-patterned elephant ear vase that Mr. Zhong took. When we made a final inspection of the lot, we found that the lot was no longer there!" Xu Xiong looked solemn.
An Xiaoyun raised her eyebrows and said impatiently: "Then check the surveillance and investigate. Why are we trapped here? Do you think we will covet your piece of auction?"
An Xiaoyun's words immediately resonated with everyone present.
However, Xu Xiong seemed to have already thought of a countermeasure, and responded calmly: "We have checked the surveillance, but the other party did not show his face. We can only see that the other party is a man wearing a suit." Black clothes."
"And we don't think the people at the scene are necessarily suspects. We just do this to see if anyone who has not received the invitation is mixed in at the banquet. In addition, we also want to confirm who left during this period."
Hearing this, Gu Qingshi frowned and looked to the side where Su Chen was vacant.
Dugu Yueying also noticed this and whispered to Gu Qingshi and An Xiaoyun uneasily: "Su Chen hasn't come back yet, what should I do?"
She didn't suspect that Su Chen had stolen the things, she was just worried that the people present would slander Su Chen.
After all, how could a person who could even use a priceless medicine like Bai Ling Blood Ginseng to save others without hesitation, steal a pair of antique bottles?
"Why do I think that Xu Xiong did it on purpose?"
An Xiaoyun's cheeks were bulging with anger, and she quickly took out her mobile phone to send a message to Su Chen.
At the same time, Xu Xiong also began to lead people to investigate everyone at the banquet.
Before An Xiaoyun could wait for Su Chen's reply, Xu Xiong had already led people to investigate the list of people present at the banquet.
Finally, it was determined that there were no people who should not be present at the banquet, but two people were missing.
One of them is Mu Yao, the second daughter of the Mu family, and the other is Su Chen.
"It must be that Su Chen, right? Didn't he still compete with Mr. Zhong for the pair of bottles today?"
Someone immediately pointed the finger at Su Chen, and others began to agree.
They were more willing to believe that Su Chen was the thief than Mu Yao, the second young lady of the Mu family.
"That shouldn't be the case, right?"
While others echoed, Zhong Tiancheng pretended to be calm and shook his head helplessly.
Seeing this, those people became even more convinced that Su Chen had done it.
"Mr. Zhong, please stop speaking for a driver. He must have failed to beat you with his quotation and is jealous, so he uses this unspeakable method to get what he wants!"
"It's really reasonable for people who can't stand on the stage to do things that can't be put on the stage, hahahaha!"
"I've said it before, a bad driver shouldn't be allowed to enter such a place. He will be jealous and want everything when he comes in. It's too easy to get into trouble!"
Although Su Chen was not here, he still had many slanderous words about him.
"You don't know him at all, why do you say that?"
Gu Qingshi stood up with a cold face and glanced at the people present, with obvious disgust in her eyes.
Not to mention that Su Chen was the one who saved her father's life.
Even if there was no such relationship and the two were just friends, she couldn't stand these people slandering Su Chen like this.
“He didn’t continue to take pictures of that lot today because he felt the price was not worth it, not because he didn’t have enough money!”
"And what if he is a driver? Even if he is a driver, he is still much better than most of you here!"
Lu Qingshi had a gentle personality and would never say anything too rude. At this moment, he could only rely on reasoning to defend Su Chen.
An Xiaoyun on the side couldn't hear enough and wanted to get up and scold those people some more.
But at this moment, Su Chen returned to the banquet hall with Mu Yao.
The appearance of the two people immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
Mu Yao frowned slightly and glanced at her younger brother Mu Xinghe in the banquet hall in confusion.
Mu Xinghe, however, didn't notice the inquiry in the second sister's eyes at all. He just stared blankly at Su Chen who was standing next to the second sister. All he could think about was how could the second sister be with him and how could these two people be together? Return to the ballroom.
Gu Qingshi, An Xiaoyun and Dugu Yueying were slightly startled when they saw this scene, and the three women felt an inexplicable sense of crisis in their hearts. "This bastard...we were worried about him here, but he turned out to be...hum!"
An Xiaoyun glared at Su Chen angrily, her beautiful eyes filled with murderous intent.
A chill ran down Su Chen's back, and he instinctively looked at An Xiaoyun's position.
After noticing the strong jealousy in An Xiaoyun's eyes, he coughed awkwardly and blinked at An Xiaoyun innocently.
"Even pretending to be innocent..."
Clenching her fists, An Xiaoyun became even more angry.
Although Gu Qingshi felt complicated, she was relieved to see Su Chen and Mu Yao together.
As for Dugu Yueying, she didn't understand what made An Xiaoyun angry at all. After seeing Su Chen, she was filled with joy and relaxed and patted her chest with a relieved look on her face.
The reactions of the three women were also noticed by Mu Yao.
She raised her peach blossom eyes and gave Su Chen a meaningful look. Then she looked at the waiter who was blocking her in front of her and said in a cold tone: "What does this mean? Why are you blocking us from entering?"
The waiter was disturbed by the question and quickly turned back to look at Xu Xiong.
Xu Xiong didn't expect that Su Chen would come back with Mu Yao, and he couldn't react for a while after seeing this scene.
But the most angry person present was Zhong Tiancheng.
After seeing the women he liked surrounding Su Chen one by one, and now even Mu Yao was standing with Su Chen, his dissatisfaction with Su Chen had reached its peak.
With a sneer, Zhong Tiancheng stepped forward slowly.
"One of the items at the auction is missing, and we are currently investigating..."
He looked at Mu Yao, but his words were obviously meant for Su Chen.
After explaining this, he said coldly to the waiter: "This matter must have nothing to do with Miss Mu, why don't you invite Miss Mu in quickly!"
