Getting into the car, Xiang Yi was still thinking about the figure he saw just now.

The back figure looked like Zhou Yang, but the other person who walked into the hotel with Zhou Yang felt familiar to Xiang Yi, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"What are you thinking about?" Mu Zhongqian saw that he was absent-minded.

"nothing……"

After returning to West City, Xiang Yi hurried back to the company to discuss the follow-up procedures.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, the Qiao family had a feast.

It was Grandpa Qiao's [-]th birthday. Apart from the relatives and friends of Qiao's family, all the people who came to the dinner were celebrities from the business world.

Although Xiang Yi has been busy for several days in a row, tonight is the highlight, and all his hard work depends on tonight.

Xiang Yi just came out of an exhibition room that was preparing for the evening charity auction, and went downstairs to see if the staff downstairs were in place.

In the dinner hall on the first floor, there was a lot of voices, and Xiang Yi checked all the elements one last time.

"Hi, handsome guy." Suddenly someone patted his shoulder.

Looking back, it was Wei Jiajia, smiling at him.

"Sister Jiajia?" Xiang Yi was not surprised at all.

"Hey, my parents are here too, don't be strangers to me like this, don't forget, you are still my boyfriend now." Wei Jiajia made a face at him, leaned towards him naturally, and hugged Xiang Yi one time.

Although the movement range is not large, many people still noticed it.

Moreover, Xiang Yi clearly felt a sharp gaze from the second floor, raised his head, and Mu Zhongqian's face darkened.

Xiang Yi pretended not to see it.

"Tsk tsk, sure enough, the men who work are the most handsome, and you look so busy when you're busy." Wei Jiajia praised him.

"I'm handsome even when I'm not working, okay?" Xiang Yi joked with him.

"You are busy with your work, I have to go to business and socialize." Jiajia smiled wryly and walked away.

Suddenly, Ripple called him.

"Stinky boy, come out and pick me up quickly. The guard won't let me in, and he won't let me in even if I say I'm your assistant. You have to come out and pick me up yourself."

Xiang Yi hurried to bring Lian Yi in, "What's the matter with you here?"

"I heard from Jiajia that her father wants to take advantage of tonight to facilitate her and Qiao Chengye's marriage. I'm afraid you won't be able to cope on the spot, so I'll come here to give you advice. I must not let their plot succeed."

Xiang looked at the time, didn't have time to talk to Lianyi, and chatted with the host, the music started, and the banquet officially started.

Every link was carried out step by step, as perfect as he expected.

Xiang Yifen was so devoted that Mu Zhongqian always shifted his eyes to him without him noticing.

An hour later, the auction session ushered in.

The auction was initiated by Mr. Qiao. He took out many of his collections and decided to donate the money after the auction to public welfare in the name of the Qiao family.

Mr. Qiao is a lover of literature and entertainment, and has collected many calligraphy, paintings, sculptures and precious antiques by famous masters.

With today's auction, the guests also want to feast their eyes.

The auction session was even more lively than Xiang Yi expected.

However, when the host announced that the last item to be auctioned - the Emerald Luminous Cup, the hostess who had been in charge of the exhibition was silent for a long time.

Xiang Yi hurried to look, only to see the young lady standing in the exhibition room where the collection was displayed, helpless.

"The Emerald Luminous Cup is gone!"

Xiang Yi suddenly felt a buzzing in his head.

This emerald luminous cup is said to be from the Han Dynasty. Mr. Qiao couldn't put it down. It is the most precious treasure he decided to auction tonight. Many people are looking forward to it and want to see it quickly.

Xiang Yi felt that he was still too young. Before that, he had imagined countless places that would go wrong, and thought of the corresponding remedial measures, but he never thought of this sudden problem anyway.

Perhaps, he instinctively thought that the people who came to the banquet were all celebrities, and it was absolutely impossible for such a thing to be stolen.What's more, there are miniature positioning on every treasure of Mr. Qiao...

Wait, there is a location.

At the same time, Qiao Chengye has arranged to serve another treasure as the highlight of the auction.He didn't want the guests to read the Qiao family's jokes.

But Qiao Chengye came to look for Xiang Yi with a gloomy face.

"How did you make such a big mess all of a sudden!" Qiao Chengye shouted in a deep voice, "There are only two keys to the showroom of this auction, one for you and one for Secretary Zhang. Why is the most important thing missing at the critical moment? ?”

Xiang Yi remembered that before the banquet started, he did go upstairs to take a look, and everything was there.

Since it wasn't him who made the mistake, it was Secretary Zhang, but Secretary Zhang was Qiao Chengye's personal secretary and was very capable at work, so how could something like this go wrong.

"If this treasure is lost, both you and Secretary Zhang will be responsible!" Qiao Chengye said fiercely.

"Mr. Qiao, don't worry, I remember you said that there are miniature locators on the old man's collection, why don't you check to see where the things are?" Xiang Yi suggested.

At this time, Secretary Zhang also rushed over after hearing the news, and when he heard that the luminous cup was gone, his face turned pale immediately.

Some of the guests also vaguely heard about this matter, and they were whispering at the moment, and they no longer cared about the ongoing project.

"I heard that there are thieves in our group who stole Mr. Qiao's most valuable treasure."

"Hey, then hurry up and call the police, let the police find out, I don't want to be wronged for no reason."

Even old man Joe, the old birthday star, heard about this, and asked Qiao Boyuan to investigate carefully. If his servants were trying to steal and fish in troubled waters among the crowd, it would not be good for the Qiao family's reputation.

Qiao Chengye went to his grandfather to look at the locator.

Xiang Yi didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in the middle of the banquet, which seemed perfect. He felt very depressed.

Suddenly, someone squeezed his hand and raised his eyes. It was Mu Zhongqian's firm gaze.

"Don't be afraid." Mu Zhongqian whispered in his ear.

He had nothing to fear, just regret.

Seeing that Qiao Chengye got the location map, he quickly found a black men's handbag from the corner of the stairs, and found the luminous cup carefully wrapped in foam paper from the bag.

However, Xiang Yi suddenly petrified.

Because, that bag is his.

Xiang Yi's face suddenly turned pale, terrifyingly white.

Qiao Chengye had already pulled out his wallet from his bag, and his ID card was lying in the wallet.At this moment, even if you want to, you can't afford it.

"It turned out to be you?" Qiao Chengye looked at him in disbelief.

Xiang Yi was also confused, "Why did this thing appear in my bag?"

"I still want to ask you, how did this thing appear in your bag, Xiang Yi, don't pretend to be confused for me." Qiao Chengye said sharply, "Explain it."

"I don't know." Xiang Yi frowned.

"Hey, what are you explaining? The poor boy was caught trying to fish in troubled waters and steal things. Call the police." The one who sneered in the crowd was Wei Jiajia's father.

Xiang Yichu was there, unable to argue.

"Dad, don't talk nonsense." Wei Jiajia went to stop her father.

"Am I wrong?" Wei's father sneered disdainfully, "This kid is just a stinky worker, why is he bragging about the founder of the studio, whimsically being my son-in-law? Bah, let's dream, my Wei family doesn't want such tricks no A clean man is a son-in-law, and a toad wants to eat swan meat..."

Wei Jiajia covered her father's mouth with her hand.

The whole thing happened too fast, and Xiang Yi didn't have time to fight back. Before he figured out what was going on, he had already stood on the cusp of the storm and suffered merciless verbal criticism.

"How can you entrust someone like this to do the planning?"

"That's right, isn't it good to have a pretty face and eat soft food with peace of mind? What kind of skill is stealing?"

"A thief once, a thief forever."

Xiang Yi could no longer hear the people around him insulting him, and felt that his mind was blank.

At some point, Qiao Chengye had already walked in front of him, "Xiang Yi, because of your attempted theft and because of my grandpa's birthday, I won't call the police. I'll spare you this time, get out of here. Don't let me see you again."

Qiao Chengye's words seemed to be flirtatious, but in fact they confirmed Xiang Yi's behavior as a "thief".

"Wait." Mu Zhongqian looked at all this coldly, and finally said, "Brother, I call the police when I think it's time to call the police, and don't breed some people's unhealthy tendencies."

As Mu Zhongqian said, he walked up to Xiang Yi.

Xiang Yi raised his head, just in time to meet Mu Zhongqian's fiery eyes. In those deep eyes, there was a firm trust in him unconditionally.

Then, he looked at the other guests, "Everyone here, you don't even know who he is, why are you thinking about others so viciously?"

The banquet hall suddenly fell silent.

Many people present knew that although Mu Zhongqian's surname was not Qiao, he was actually a member of Qiao's family. The key was that he had a strong working ability, and he was now the most dazzling star in the business circle of Xicheng.

As soon as Mu Zhongqian opened his mouth, those who made sarcastic remarks just now lowered their heads.

"Brother, why don't I call the police and let the police investigate carefully." Mu Zhongqian said this to Qiao Chengye.

"What's there to call the police? He got the stolen goods. Xiang Yi himself has nothing to explain, but you, why are you protecting him so suddenly?" Qiao Chengye snorted coldly, but there was a shameless sneer in his eyes .

"I just think it's too arbitrary to accuse someone else of being a thief like this. Call the police and ask professionals to investigate carefully, so as not to wrong others." Mu Zhongqian responded coldly.

"You said I was wronging him? Didn't the luminous cup be found in his bag? Isn't this bag his?" Qiao Chengye was a little annoyed.

"I'm just expressing a reasonable doubt. As the person in charge of the event, Xiang Yi himself, even if he wanted to steal something from Qiao's house, he wouldn't steal something that was about to be put up for auction. That's not lifting a stone." Smash your own foot?"

Mu Zhongqian's voice was not loud, but loud and loud, "Therefore, I thought that someone must have wanted to steal it, and if it was revealed, they would blame others."

Mu Zhongqian's analysis was clear and logical, and the guests all agreed.

"You are just guessing, and there is no evidence now, but it can't prove that Xiang Yi is not a prisoner!" Qiao Chengye argued hard.

"I have a solution." Mu Zhongqian was confident, "Grandpa has installed positioning on all the collections. You just checked the last position of the positioning. You might as well check the trajectory and time of the positioning to facilitate speculation."

"There's no such function, don't make trouble." Qiao Chengye was already impatient.

"Oh, by the way, brother, I forgot to tell you that the positioning system has been upgraded. Just a few days ago, I helped grandpa operate the upgrade. These are the functions after the upgrade."

A cunning flashed across Mu Zhongqian's eyes.

Xiang Yi noticed that Qiao Chengye was getting more and more irritable.

A few minutes later, Mu Zhongqian's secretary took out the finely positioned motion trajectory again.

"When the banquet started at eight o'clock, the Luminous Cup was still in the showroom on the second floor, but Xiang Yi had already started working in the hall at that time. From eight o'clock until now, Xiang Yi was in the hall on the first floor. Many people present Everyone is a witness."

Mu Zhongqian was confident, "At [-]:[-], the positioning of the Luminous Cup began to move..."

"This is even easier. By comparing the surveillance from the second floor to the first floor between [-]:[-] and [-], you can know exactly who it is."

As soon as this remark came out, many people urged to quickly check the surveillance cameras in the stairwell to compare, even if they were irrelevant people, they were very interested.

This kind of thing, whether it is big or small, if it is a respectable person they know, they will inevitably make fun of it, if it is just an unknown person, then it may as well add a fun chat after dinner.

People always have such a curiosity.

But Qiao Chengye was extremely uneasy. After a long time, he suddenly said, "Secretary Zhang, go and check the surveillance to find out what's going on."

Then he turned to everyone, "Today is my grandpa's [-]th birthday, everyone, let's skip this episode, don't spoil grandpa's interest."

As he spoke, he beckoned his servants to roll out the cake.

Everyone's attention was diverted, but Mu Zhongqian was not so easy to fool, he chuckled softly, "Secretary Zhang, I'll go with you, I want to see who is so bold as to make trouble in Qiao's house."

Xiang Yi also wanted to find out who framed him, so he quickly followed.

A group of people have already left the banquet hall quickly.

Qiao Chengye seemed to be in a hurry, and followed him: "Mu Zhongqian, you can't finish, today is Grandpa's birthday."

"Qiao Chengye, you still know it's the old man's birthday!" Mu Zhongqian was expressionless just now, but now he suddenly became angry, "Why do you want to make trouble on the old man's [-]th birthday?"

Qiao Chengye was stunned for a moment, "What does it have to do with me?"

Mu Zhongqian sneered, "It has nothing to do with you? Why have you repeatedly prevented us from exploring the truth?"

"I...I just don't want to disturb Grandpa's interest." Qiao Chengye felt a little guilty.

"Oh, I think it's because you have a guilty conscience." Mu Zhongqian was talking, when a figure approached, it was Mu Zhongqian's secretary, and he handed the phone to Mu Zhongqian.

Xiang Yi leaned over and saw the surveillance image in the stairwell. At that time, everyone was in the banquet hall, and only one person appeared in the surveillance, which was Secretary Zhang.

"Brother, the people around you are unreliable." Mu Zhongqian sneered, "Shall I call the police for you?" As he said that, he had already called the company's personnel department to ask Secretary Zhang to calculate his salary, and Ma Shan was fired and left.

Although he is Qiao Chengye's secretary, he still has this right as the dignified vice president.

The most relieved thing was that Qiao Chengye had a dark face and had nothing to say.
