"Open it and take a look."
Seeing that Tang Li was stunned, Huo Chenyu hurriedly pushed the box in front of her.
Tang Li's hands were trembling. After glancing at Huo Chenyu several times, she hesitantly reached for the wooden box.
Holding her breath, she quickly and decisively opened the wooden box. What came into view was a piece of emerald green and white Dushan jade, which was obviously very valuable.
While letting out a long sigh, Tang Li could not hide her disappointment.
After a two-second pause, Tang Li composed herself, put on a smile, and looked up at Huo Chenyu:
"Thank you for your birthday present, I really like it."
But Huo Chenyu was also clearly stunned.
His eyes were filled with disbelief.
This piece of Dushan jade is Wei Chaoyu's family heirloom.
Logically, it should have been handed over to Huo Sitang.
Of course, what surprised Huo Chenyu was not why the Dushan jade was in the wooden box he had carefully prepared, but that the gift he had originally placed in the wooden box had vanished without a trace.
"I'm glad you like it. Are you sleepy? If you are, go to sleep first. If you're not sleepy, you can go to the living room and slowly unwrap the gift."
Huo Chenyu had to find the things in the box as soon as possible.
Tang Li nodded:
"Hmm, I guess the gifts in the living room were all prepared for me by my family? I'll go take a look."
Huo Chenyu pulled her back:
"Then you go first. I have an overseas call to make. I'll come and keep you company when I'm done."
The birthday atmosphere vanished instantly.
Tang Li sat in the living room, looking at a pile of expensive gifts, but couldn't muster any interest.
Upstairs, Huo Chenyu turned the place upside down.
They were unable to find what they had originally placed in the wooden box.
Call Huo Yancheng, who was still half asleep, and he asked:
"Bro, it's so late at night, can't a person get any sleep?"
Huo Chenyu asked anxiously:
"You arranged the villa in the south of the city. I asked you to put the wooden box on the table in the sunroom. Have you touched anything inside it?"
Huo Yancheng rolled over, yawning, and said:
"Boss, how could I dare touch the gift you prepared for your wife? Everything was arranged according to your requirements. By the way, did you see the bedroom? I had someone carefully arrange it for you."
bedroom?
Huo Chenyu once said that no outsiders are allowed to enter his bedroom.
Including Huo Yancheng.
He went to the bedroom, opened the door, and saw that the bed was covered with rose petals, and the room was decorated like a wedding room, with the latest jewelry and skincare products on the dressing table.
"The jewelry was a gift from my mom, and the skincare products were chosen by my sister. You know, in our family, Mom and Dad always raise the eldest son with plenty and the younger one with hardship. I'm dirt poor, so giving my sister-in-law this gift full of heart is enough."
Huo Chenyu was so angry he almost threw his phone. He left the bedroom and went to the monitoring room, asking:
"Who are the people you brought today?"
Huo Yancheng answered with his eyes closed:
"They're all people who specialize in setting up events for people. Two men and two women. Bro, you know what, they have a pretty unique eye for aesthetics, especially those two girls. They're fair-skinned, beautiful, and have long legs. It's a pity you're married, otherwise I really wanted to take you to see them."
Huo Yancheng, preoccupied with seeking credit, was completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem.
Huo Chenyu roared:
"Huo Yancheng, get up right now and go find those four people who came to our house today to set up the scene. Be quick."
This roar completely dispelled Huo Yancheng's drowsiness.
"Brother, what happened? Did something go missing from the house? That shouldn't be the case. Before they left, they even asked me to check them, and they didn't take any valuables with them."
Huo Chenyu forced himself to calm down:
"Do as I say."
After hanging up the phone, he recalled the arrangement of the bedroom. There was a wooden box on the dressing table. The Dushan jade should have been a gift from Wei Chaoyu. It should have been placed in that wooden box, but now it had been moved, replacing the gift he originally intended to give to Tang Li.
In the surveillance footage, all four people were wearing masks and gloves, so their faces were completely obscured.
Since they all wore gloves while working, presumably there were no fingerprints left at home.
Someone actually dared to set foot in his house.
Huo Chenyu frowned, zoomed in on the surveillance footage, and then called Jiang Mian:
"Help me find this car. I've sent the picture to your phone."
Jiang Mian had just arrived home and hadn't gone to sleep yet.
Time ticked by, and Huo Yancheng called first:
"Brother, I'm sorry, I meant well but messed things up, that shop..."
"It's closed down, and there's no news about that store online anymore."
Huo Chenyu remained calm; this outcome was within his expectations.
If he wasn't mistaken, the car those four people were driving probably also had a fake license plate.
As expected, Jiang Mian quickly called back, saying that there was no way to find out, and the last surveillance footage of the car had completely disappeared in the blind spot of the surveillance cameras along the river.
It seems that someone did this deliberately and came prepared.
"Brother, where are you now? I'll come find you and see if there's anything I can do to help."
Although he didn't know what was missing from the house, anything that could make Huo Chenyu go to such lengths must be of great importance.
Huo Yancheng felt extremely guilty.
"Forget it, go to sleep, I'll handle it."
Huo Chenyu checked the time; it was already 1:30.
He went downstairs and saw that none of the gifts in the living room had been opened, but the cake had been opened and he had taken a bite.
Tang Li lay curled up on the sofa, already asleep.
Huo Chenyu put the cake in the refrigerator and carried Tang Li back to the room.
