Chapter 362 The Million-Dollar Watch is Missing
Gu Yin was unaware that her family had come. The dance party had just ended, and everyone started chatting again.
Many people seemed to have come with a purpose. Gu Yin noticed that the award-winning students all seemed to have been approached by someone, including Xiang Xingmang and his two companions.
Seeing that neither Bia nor Teberle could invite Gu Yin, the others simply ignored her and only approached Xiang Xingmang and the other two.
Seeing the three of them surrounded, Gu Yin looked at Li Lifang and asked, "Aren't you worried, teacher?"
Li Lifang shook his head: "I am just the teacher who brought you out to compete. I can't make decisions for you. If you really want to agree, I can't stop you from going to a better place. I will do my best to fight for it. The result is up to you."
Gu Yin thought about it and agreed. Forcing the other person to stay might actually make things worse in the end. It would be better to let the other person choose for themselves from the beginning.
Seeing that the three of them had declined the invitations from others, Gu Yin smiled and turned around to get them some cake. Just then, she saw Tore wandering around with a wine glass in his hand. He had already come to Li Lifang and the others and said with a smile, "I apologize for my inappropriate remarks before. I hope you don't mind. Cheers?" He then raised his wine glass.
Li Lifang didn't argue with him and clinked glasses with him.
Seeing that he clearly didn't want to talk to him, Torei wasn't annoyed. He walked up to Gu Yin, lowered his head, and smiled, "You're very capable. You're good at biology, and you're good at talking too. I hope you continue to be so capable in the future." He smiled and left without waiting for Gu Yin to speak.
Li Lifang frowned: "Tell me, how can he be so shameless? Even in this state, he still dares to come in front of us!"
Gu Yin smiled and said, "Not surprising."
Li Lifang thought it made sense, so he stopped talking to him and walked towards Xiang Xingmang and the other two.
Gu Yin turned around and was about to walk over when she bumped into a waiter who was walking behind her and carrying a wine glass.
"Oh! I'm so sorry! Miss, are you alright?! I'm so sorry!" The waiter adjusted the wine glass and looked at Gu Yin with a nervous and apologetic expression.
Gu Yin looked at her clothes, soaked in red wine, and felt helpless. What did the clothes do wrong?! Why are there always these ridiculous plot points?!
"I'm fine, could you please bring me some tissues, thank you."
The waiter kept apologizing, then pointed behind the stage: "There are changing rooms there, and there are formal dresses too, just in case of an accident! Miss, please come with me, I'll find you something to change into! Let's go!"
Gu Yin raised her hand to stop the other person: "Could you please get me some tissues?"
The waiter was taken aback and wanted to continue persuading Gu Yin, but seeing the coldness in her eyes, he had no choice but to get her some tissues.
Gu Yin was wearing a light blue dress, and even after wiping it with tissues, the area stained with red wine was still very unsightly.
Li Lifang said helplessly, "Why don't you go with them to exchange it?"
The waiter nodded repeatedly: "Go ahead, miss. I'll take it to wash and dry it for you after you change, and then I'll bring it back to you so you can change back into it when you go home!"
Gu Yin ignored his solicitousness and looked at Li Lifang instead: "Then, teacher, I'll go change my clothes first and then come over."
The waiter's eyes lit up, and he immediately led the way towards the room.
But then they saw Gu Yin walking towards the door.
The waiter was taken aback: "Miss! This is the right way! You've come to the wrong place!"
Gu Yin ignored it. Only a fool would go there. Her room was downstairs, and it was only a two-minute elevator ride away.
Seeing that Gu Yin did not turn around, the waiter had no choice but to leave.
"001, is this normal behavior or is there a conspiracy waiting for me?"
Gu Yin returned to her room, took off her dirty dress, changed into a clean one, and asked 001 while fixing her makeup.
"There's a gigolo in the room. They plan to lock the door after you go in. The gigolo has taken drugs. After about ten minutes, they'll pretend to open the door accidentally, and then everyone in the room, even people all over the world, will see what happens."
Gu Yin sneered: "These are all the low-class things you can come up with."
Gu Yin closed the door and returned to the party.
Ryan, who had been watching the door, immediately went to find his uncle when he saw Gu Yin return.
When Li Lifang saw Gu Yin return, he had only been chatting with her for a short while when a commotion arose from ahead.
Gu Yin looked over, not knowing what had happened, but she didn't go forward because someone had already walked onto the stage, holding a microphone.
The man said with a mixture of helplessness and disdain, "Mr. Torre just told us that his watch is missing. It's a $3 million watch, and he asked me to ask if anyone has seen it. If anyone finds it, please return it to him, and he will reward them handsomely."
The people below are all extraordinary; in their own countries, who among them isn't a prominent figure?
"You mean someone stole his watch here?"
Not wanting to get into trouble, the man quickly handed the microphone to Tore.
Torre looked at the man and saw that it was Teberer. He quickly smiled and said, "No, no, no, Mr. Teberer, that's not what I meant! It's just that my watch was a token of love that my wife gave me when she was angry with me. It's very important to me, which is why I went to such great lengths to find it. I didn't mean to doubt you."
Teberle, a man who loved his wife very much, relaxed his furrowed brows upon hearing this: "Where is she?"
Tore sighed, "I don't know either. I went to the bathroom to wash my face earlier, and I took it off and put it in my pocket to avoid getting it wet. Then I forgot to wear it. Just now I suddenly remembered to put it back on, and that's when I realized that my watch was missing."
Teber thought for a moment and frowned: "The venue is so big, and you've been walking around everywhere. You might have dropped it in a corner. Let someone go look for it."
Tore said gratefully, "That's what I was thinking too, but I had people look for me and they couldn't find me. So I wanted the management to help me check the surveillance footage and track my itinerary to see where I had stayed, so that it would be easier to find me."
Teber frowned: "Then let him investigate. Be quick, don't disturb everyone's conversation."
Tore nodded quickly: "Definitely, definitely, sorry to bother everyone!" After saying that, he looked at the staff member who had just spoken on the stage. Seeing that Teberle had said so and that no one had any objections, the staff member projected the surveillance footage onto the screen on the stage from the monitoring station.
Gu Yin frowned as she looked at the opened surveillance camera: "001, is his watch with me?"
"No, he's with Ryan."
Where is Ryan?
"Ryan is talking to the male escort who has already taken drugs in the locker room, trying to get him to leave while things are in disarray."
Gu Yin's eyes flashed: "A gigolo? To deal with me?"
001 nodded: "Yes, it was Tore who asked Ryan to find him. He was a very tall and strong male escort, but he has lost his mind and is currently kissing Ryan wildly. Ryan is just a weakling and can't resist at all."
Gu Yin chuckled: "Never mind him."
Tore didn't talk to anyone at first, probably because of what happened before, and everyone disliked him. So, judging from the video, he just walked around once.
Suddenly someone pointed at the video and shouted, "After Tore chatted with this lady, she left the venue?"
