"What's going on?"

"Why are these people guarding the door?"

"Did something happen?"

Inside the hall.

The emotions of the guests were not calmed, but became more and more agitated.

They exchanged words and discussions, and some of them stood up and tried to go out of the hall.

I didn't go far, but I was stopped by the staff in the venue and asked me to return to my seat in a good voice.

Seeing this scene, Zhong Siyuan's eyebrows tightened, and he quickly walked to his father's side, bent down, and briefly stated the matter.

After he finished speaking, Mr. Zhong Qi stood up with the support of him and his assistant, walked to the front desk, and took the microphone from the host's hand.

"I'm sorry!"

"Here, I want to say sorry to everyone."

Mr. Zhong Qi's voice is like an ancient morning bell, revealing the vicissitudes of time in its thickness.

His temples were gray, the marks of the grind.

He raised his head slightly and explained, "There was something wrong at the small auction held next door, and an important treasure was missing, and Mr. Lane is leading the staff on the island to check it one by one. ”

"During this period, I hope that everyone can cooperate as much as possible and stay on the island for the time being."

As soon as Mr. Zhong Qi's words fell, the guests in the audience exploded.

"Staying on Cissé? How is this possible, I still have a lot of work to do, it is not easy to spare this day, I really can't delay any longer! ”

"I have a big order to sign, if I can't go back, who will compensate for the loss caused by this?"

"Stay? How long to stay? Is it that if you can't find something, you won't let it leave? Two days away is my wife and me's wedding anniversary, and I really can't miss it! ”

"Mr. Zhong Qi, this is not fair, there is a problem at the auction, what is the matter with our wine tasting, why should we restrict our personal freedom!"

"Do you suspect that we are thieves?"

"What the hell is missing, let them come out and explain clearly!"

"Which of us here doesn't have a head and a face, and is seen as a thief, where is the face when it is passed out!"

Many of the guests slapped the table angrily, and wanted to go out to theorize.

"Please calm down!"

Mr. Zhong Qi held the microphone and promised: "We will definitely actively communicate with the staff of Cisse Island to let everyone leave as soon as possible." ”

"It won't be long, I promise!"

Mr. Zhong Qi stood on the stage, he was old, his body was a little rickety, his speech was gentle, and he was not strong.

is such a little old man, but he has great trust from everyone present.

After some reassurance, the guests finally calmed down.

"What now?"

The host lowered his voice and asked the Zhong family father and son.

The tasting is only halfway through the day, and there are still many invited guests who have taken the wine, but they have not come up to the auction.

"Dad......" Zhong Siyuan hesitated.

"Go on!" Mr. Zhong Qi replied categorically.

Said earnestly: "Siyuan, you have to remember that if you really want to do charity, it is not a whim, but a long-term persistence, and it will not be shaken by any external objects." ”

"Do you understand?"

Mr. Zhong Qi looked at his son.

After hearing this, Zhong Siyuan immediately straightened his waist, and said with a serious and serious face: "Father, I understand!" ”

"It's good to get it!"

Mr. Zhong Qi patted his son's shoulder with relief.

On the road of charity, there may be many difficulties and obstacles, but only by persevering and sticking to one's heart can one be worthy of being the heir of the Zhong family.

Only in this way can we carry forward the cause of philanthropy in the near future.

"Next, please ......"

After this episode, the wine auction resumed.

Because of the unexpected incident just now, many people's minds no longer know where to drift, lack of interest, and there are few bidders, so they can only end hastily.

An hour later.

The wine tasting was officially over, and Zhong Siyuan walked to the exit accompanied by his assistant.

At this time, Ryan did not leave, not only that, but there were several more unfamiliar faces around him.

"Mr. Lane!" Zhong Siyuan called.

"It's getting late, I wonder if my guests can go back to the villa to rest?"

The tasting lasted about three hours, and it was now nine o'clock in the evening.

It is indeed inappropriate to let these more than 100 people, as well as the staff, stay here.

After hearing this, Ryan was silent for a moment, and then nodded after some thought.

"They can go back to the villa, but some people need to stay and cooperate with the investigation."

Some people?

Zhong Siyuan frowned and asked, "Mr. Lane, some of the people you are talking about refer to ......"

"Someone who has left this venue."

Ryan said, turning his head to look at the other foreign man standing beside him.

After the other party nodded, he withdrew his gaze and continued: "The treasure was stolen during the handover process after the auction was completed, that is, between 6:20 and 7:30, and everyone who has been out of this venue is suspicious. ”

"Mr. Lane, I don't agree with you."

Zhong Siyuan shook his head when he heard Ryan's words.

"As far as I know, their small auctions are not low-standard, and there are professionals at the entrances and exits, and people on our side can't get in."

"Yes, Mr. Zhong, you're right."

"There is no communication between the two sides, and the people at the wine tasting really can't get into the small auction hall."

"But ......," Ryan emphasized, "we are forbidden to enter or exit." ”

"There's no way to say if someone at the small auction stole the treasure and handed it over to someone here."

Ryan said, taking a deep breath and slowly exhaling it, his expression tangled and helpless.

"And we've searched everyone at the mini-auction and found no whereabouts of the treasure."

All personnel?

Zhong Siyuan was taken aback and gasped, there were more than just staff members in the small auction.

There are also the rich people of various countries.

"Mr. Lane, you mean ......," Zhong Siyuan hesitated.

"All!" Ryan repeated.

After hearing this, Zhong Siyuan's breathing became a little heavier, and he finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

The whole body tensed, and his eyes looked at the man beside Ryan again, and he suddenly felt a little familiar.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he seemed to know who this person was!

Herbert!

Born in the oldest family in country Y, I heard that the history of their family can be traced back to 500 years ago.

Recognized as the most mysterious family in the world, rich and powerful!

Even the government of country Y has to give it three points.

Now such a family asks to seal the island because of a treasure, and the value of the treasure can be imagined.

I'm afraid that only such a family can have the confidence to ask everyone to search their bodies.

"Mr. Lane, we will actively cooperate with us, please provide the list."

Zhong Siyuan refers to people who have been out of the venue.
